Chapter 155: Berserker Battle
"Daddy, look at all those people. There seem to be even more of them than the Yao clan."
Chen Dier lifted her delicately carved, porcelain-doll face and said to Chen Changsheng, "Their expressions are so ugly, they look just like fierce and malevolent spirits."
Her focus, it seemed, was forever different from ordinary people.
"Mhm."
Chen Changsheng nodded. "The ancient clan, this time, has indeed come with the intent to annihilate the Yao clan."
"Daddy, why are they making such fierce and malevolent expressions?" Chen Dier asked again.
"Because making that kind of face looks very ferocious."
"Does looking ferocious have anything to do with strength?"
"Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with strength at all. An expression is an expression, and strength is strength."
"Daddy, since it has nothing to do with strength, why do they bother making themselves look so ferocious?"
Chen Changsheng's breath caught. "Dier..."
Chen Dier puffed out her little chest and gave a proper, mimicking cupped-fist salute. "Dier is here!"
Chen Changsheng rubbed her little head. "You still haven't broken that habit of getting to the bottom of every little thing."
Chen Dier paused slightly, then quickly said, "Understood, Dier will definitely change."
All around them, Di Shitian and the others felt their jaws drop to the ground in utter shock. What time was it, and yet this father and daughter were still discussing such an inconceivable topic?
"Young Master Chen, this is truly dangerous."
Dantai Wushuang hurriedly rushed in front of Chen Changsheng and his daughter. Although she believed that Chen Changsheng must possess some hidden trump card, she still could not shake her anxiety. "How about you two go find a place to hide?"
"Fairy Dantai, thank you for your concern, but there's really no need." Chen Changsheng shook his head.
Dantai Wushuang could only shake her head helplessly.
"Whoosh—"
At that very moment, a brilliant flash of silver suddenly lit up the horizon.
A gigantic, dazzling silver sword Qi cut through space in an instant, hurtling forward with monstrous killing intent.
And its target was none other than Chen Dier, who stood right beside Chen Changsheng!
"Damn it!"
Dantai Wushuang, who was closest to the father and daughter, was instantly filled with righteous fury and moved to intercept it.
However, someone was even faster than her...
A massive golden sword Qi suddenly burst forth from the necklace hanging around Chen Dier's neck, meeting the incoming, lightning-fast silver blade head-on.
"Crack!"
The golden and silver sword energies collided fiercely, shattering into nothingness in the blink of an eye.
"Hahahaha! Little ants, you've come at just the right time, Old Ancestor is feeling thirsty and hungry!"
Accompanied by a burst of wild laughter, the Blood Demon Ancestor suddenly erupted from Chen Dier's necklace, wielding a massive golden greatsword a full hundred meters in length.
"The Sword of Autumn Water..."
Chen Changsheng was slightly taken aback. "Good grief, this damned old demon actually pulled out the Sword of Autumn Water to fight with."
The Sword of Autumn Water was the manifestation of the Autumn Ancestor of the Byzantine Holy Nation. Its unique property was that it contained the sorrow of autumn, which could affect a person's mind and cause an irrepressible feeling of grief to take root in their heart.
Never did he expect that this old demon would use it simply as an ordinary combat sword at a time like this.
"Ah..."
Dantai Wushuang, Di Shitian, and all the strong warriors of the Yao clan felt their jaws hit the ground.
The trump card Young Master Chen had spoken of turned out to be an ancient, primordial demon! It was just so damn... cool!
The silver sword Qi that had previously targeted Chen Dier was unleashed by the Ancient Emperor. His scheme was vicious in the extreme—he wanted to use lightning speed at the very start of the battle to slaughter Chen Dier, driving Chen Changsheng to utter despair, and then seize the opportunity to capture him.
However, in his wildest dreams, he never expected an ancient, primordial demon to suddenly leap out from Chen Dier's necklace.
"Hahahaha, the Ancient Emperor? In this demon's eyes, you're more like an ancient earthworm!"
While everyone was still in a state of shock, the Blood Demon Ancestor had already charged in alone, brandishing the hundred-meter-long Sword of Autumn Water as he launched a frenzied assault toward the Ancient Emperor ahead.
"Ah, damn it! Where did an ancient demon suddenly pop out from?!"
The Ancient Emperor quickly snapped out of his shock and roared urgently, "Surround and kill him!"
"Swish—"
More than a dozen powerful figures from the ancient clan immediately burst forth, dispersing instantly to encircle the Blood Demon Ancestor.
"Utterly laughable. A bunch of tiny ants actually think they can achieve something before this demon!"
The Blood Demon Ancestor sneered with utter disdain, rolling demonic energy billowing from his body in a rather terrifying fashion. Anyone who wasn't blind could tell at a single glance that he was undoubtedly an ancient, primordial demon.
The hundred-meter-long Sword of Autumn Water was gripped tightly in the demon's hands as he swept it in a wide arc. The brilliant golden sword Qi, carrying monstrous killing intent, howled toward the west.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."
Those dozen-odd ancient clan experts who had rushed forward to encircle him were instantly sent flying backward in unison.
"Gasp..."
Everyone sucked in a cold breath of air, completely dumbfounded.
The weakest among those dozen-odd surrounding ancient clan experts was already at the complete Dao Realm, yet they were all sent flying by a single sword strike from the Blood Demon Ancestor.
Terrifying!
How could such a terrifying, primordial demon possibly exist in the Yinling Realm?
He was definitely a being hailing from that world of immortals and gods!
Since this ancient demon had been hidden inside the necklace of Young Master Chen's daughter, didn't that mean Young Master Chen and his daughter also hailed from that world of immortals and gods?
In an instant, the deeply startled Ancient Emperor finally figured out the question that had plagued him all along. No wonder Young Master Chen was merely an ordinary mortal, yet he knew the method to ascend to the Heavenly Dao—it turned out he was someone from the world of immortals and gods!
"Hahahaha!"
Having snapped out of his astonishment, Di Shitian let out a hearty laugh. "So Young Master Chen's trump card is this terrifying—it's actually a primordial ancient demon! Warriors of the Yao clan, charge and kill them!"
Amidst his booming laughter, his body went "poof" and transformed into a blood-red eagle. However, the size of this blood eagle was more than twice as large as the Di Yi who had been slain by Donggong Qianxue earlier.
The oppressive might emanating from its body was nearly ten times stronger than Di Yi's!
As the Yao ancestor, there was no doubt that Di Shitian was a high-tier Great Venerable!
"Hahahaha! Kill!"
"Make these ancient clan bastards wish they'd never come!"
The morale of the Yao clan's experts skyrocketed instantly.
Poof, poof, poof...
One by one, the members of the Yao clan revealed their true forms. Massive demonic beasts surged upward from the ground, rapidly charging toward the warriors of the ancient clan.
Demonic tigers, demonic pythons, demonic wolves, and countless others—all sorts of ferocious beasts created a chaotic and dazzling spectacle that left onlookers dizzy.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
Chen Dier cried out, her small mouth agape as she subconsciously took a few steps back. "Daddy, why is this so spectacular? Is all of this real? Am I sure I'm not dreaming?"
Chen Changsheng was also left dumbstruck by such a battlefield array, and he sighed, "Dier, Daddy is certain this is no dream. Everything you're seeing is real... Wow, so many different kinds of demonic beasts, this is truly a rare sight!"
"Yeah, Daddy, it's just too terrifying."
Chen Dier's delicately carved, porcelain-doll face was filled with shock as she added, "Daddy, relatively speaking, Big Sister Qianxue transforming into a divine phoenix, and Big Sister Nalan Mu'er transforming into a golden divine dragon, are much prettier, don't you think?"
