Chapter 373: The Shadow of Chi You
Devil Soldiers of the Jiuli Clan!
These were the Devil Soldiers that had struck such terror into the Savage Elephant King and his two demon companions that they fled back to Guarding Slaughter City—and they had been summoned by none other than Qin Jun himself. The reason they were referred to as Devil Soldiers was that they all possessed the ability to undergo demonic transformations, altering their bodies into beastly or otherworldly forms, immensely boosting their combat prowess and instilling dread in their enemies at the mere mention of their name.
The eighty-one leaders at the forefront were particularly fearsome, treated as brothers by Chi You himself. They were originally chieftains of various tribes before they joined the Jiuli Clan.
Duanxiu was the only one among the eighty-one who had not undergone a demonic transformation. With an appearance betraying his advanced age, he was the most revered individual after Chi You. His cultivation had reached the first layer of the True Immortal Realm, while the other eighty were at various levels of the Immortal Realm.
The fifty thousand Devil Soldiers behind them were all at the Transforming Void Realm. When gathered together, their demonic power was immense. Within the entire Southern Domain, one would be hard-pressed to find an army that could match them—unless, of course, a commander at the Golden Immortal Realm led the charge against them, in which case the Devil Soldiers’ chances of defeat would significantly increase.
"The Guarding Slaughter City lies ahead. Everyone, conceal your auras."
Duanxiu spoke in a deep voice. Although not loud, his words clearly reached the ears of every soldier. In an instant, over fifty thousand Devil Soldiers quickly concealed their auras.
The other eighty Jiuli commanders also reined in their demonic energies. Despite wearing mostly beast skins, their weapons were long spears and sharp blades.
Unfortunately, even as they tried to hide their demonic aura, it was already too late—the city had been alerted to their presence.
"Look over there!"
"Sssh—such a terrifying aura, who are these people?"
