"We’ve come this far. Naturally, we can’t give up now. Wouldn’t you all agree?" Jian Wushuang glanced at the Diamond Level Death Warriors and spoke calmly to Xue Shitian and the others.
"Hmph. They’re just a few Death Warriors. They won’t stand in my way!" Ouyang Shaoyu said coldly. Beside him, Wuqing and Xue Shitian also nodded. With the Saint Emperor Sect’s inheritance right there in the main hall, how could they possibly have a reason to give up?
"In that case, let’s make our move. One each, any problem with that?" Jian Wushuang clenched his fists, the Spiritual Power in his body beginning to surge. It looked as though he was about to take on one of the Diamond Level Death Warriors.
"What about the other two?" Hearing Jian Wushuang, Xue Shitian and the others didn’t object. While the Diamond Level Death Warriors were powerful, they were hardly weak themselves. Taking on one was manageable, but none of them could handle a second.
"Isn’t Brother Shen here too? Brother Shen, you can take one. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?" Jian Wushuang turned to Shen Haoran and said with a light laugh.
The surrounding Martial Artists were stunned to hear Jian Wushuang invite Shen Haoran to fight the Diamond Level Death Warriors alongside them. They all knew how formidable the Northern Domain’s Four Heroes were. They could probably hold their own against the Diamond Level Death Warriors, as they were all Tier Nine Spirit Marquis Peak powerhouses who had one foot in the Spirit Aspect Tier. But Shen Haoran was only at the Tier Five Spirit Marquis Peak. ’How could he possibly be mentioned in the same breath as the Northern Domain’s Four Heroes?’
"Him? Are you sure? I admit his thinking is ahead of its time, but in terms of combat power, are you certain he can hold off a Diamond Level Death Warrior?" Wuqing of the Valley of Heartless also frowned and spoke. "This is no joke. Our opponents are Diamond Level Death Warriors, beings even we have to take seriously. If Shen Haoran goes up there and something goes wrong, a Death Warrior will be freed up, and everyone here will die!"
"That’s right, Jian Wushuang! We’re not willing to entrust our lives to that kid’s hands!" the disciples from the surrounding first-class Sects protested.
"If you ask me, we should let Xue Jian from the Eightfold Gate go. His strength is second only to you Northern Domain’s Four Heroes. He should be able to hold off one Diamond Death Warrior!" Wuqing recommended.
"Brother Jian, it’s just one Death Warrior. Leave it to me! I’ll beat it so badly it won’t know which way is up!" At that moment, a dashing young man stepped out from among the disciples of the first-class Sects, speaking with extreme confidence. This youth was Xue Jian of the Eightfold Gate, the disciple whose strength was second only to the Northern Domain’s Four Heroes.
"This..." Seeing Xue Jian volunteer, Jian Wushuang frowned. He glanced over at Shen Haoran, only to find him looking back with an indifferent expression.
Seeing Jian Wushuang hesitate and still look toward Shen Haoran, Xue Jian’s face darkened. He said in a low voice, "Brother Jian, you have to understand, those are Diamond Death Warriors. They’re not something a person like Shen Haoran can handle. Just leave it to me. I will definitely slay it!" After speaking, Xue Jian shot a provocative glance at Shen Haoran, as if mocking him.
"This... Alright!" Hearing Xue Jian’s words and seeing that Shen Haoran had no intention of refuting him, Jian Wushuang nodded. He then addressed the others. "There are six Death Warriors. Myself, Ouyang Shaoyu, Wuqing, Xue Shitian, and Xue Jian will each hold one off. The last one is up to all of you. You don’t need to fight it head-on. Just keep it occupied. Once we’ve dealt with our Death Warriors, we’ll come and help. Any objections?"
"None!" Hearing Jian Wushuang, the Martial Artists all nodded. Since the top experts had already taken on five of the Death Warriors, it was only natural that the last one would be left for them to handle.
"Good. Since there are no objections, get ready. Let’s go!" After speaking, Jian Wushuang, along with Xue Shitian and the others, was the first to step onto the plaza before the main hall.
"Hmph, kid. Don’t think you can be so arrogant just because you know Jian Wushuang. Do you really think you can handle a Diamond Death Warrior? Don’t overestimate yourself. If you went up there, you’d probably be killed instantly. Aren’t you going to thank me for saving your life?" Xue Jian walked up to Shen Haoran and said in a condescending tone.
In response, Shen Haoran simply gave a faint smile and then made a "please" gesture, indicating for Xue Jian to enter the fray.
"Hmph. Just watch and learn what a true expert looks like!" Xue Jian sneered. He then ignored Shen Haoran and stepped directly onto the plaza.
"That guy is way too arrogant! How dare he walk all over you, Boss? Boss, how can you tolerate him?" Xu Hao said angrily, watching Xue Jian’s retreating back.
"What’s there to be angry about? Someone’s willing to stick their neck out for me; I couldn’t be happier. Why would I be angry? Our goal is the inheritance inside the hall, not to show off. Let them wear themselves out. We can just sit back and enjoy the show," Shen Haoran said with a light laugh, turning his gaze toward the plaza.
By this time, Jian Wushuang and the others had already stepped onto the plaza before the main hall. The instant they set foot on it, the six Diamond Death Warriors, whose eyes had been tightly shut, snapped them open. Dark green ghost flames danced within their eye sockets. A violent aura erupted from them, blowing away all the dust on their bodies and revealing the brilliant, gleaming Diamond Armor beneath.
"Trespassers... shall... die!" A series of guttural, archaic words echoed from the mouths of the six Death Warriors. The powerful shockwave of sound reverberated across the plaza, making the hearts of the Martial Artists who had stepped onto it tremble.
"ROAR!" After that cold cry, the six Diamond Death Warriors all shot forward. Without another word, they charged at the crowd on the plaza, their terrifying speed startling everyone present.
"Get ready!" Seeing the six Death Warriors charge, Jian Wushuang and the others took a deep breath and met them head-on. Although the six Diamond Level Death Warriors were imposing, they were a far cry from being able to force a retreat.
Jian Wushuang, Xue Shitian, and the others charged out. With practiced coordination, they each singled out a Diamond Death Warrior, drawing them away to their own individual battlefields. A great battle erupted in an instant.
The Martial Artists standing outside the plaza couldn’t help but swallow nervously as they watched the great battle. The Northern Domain’s Four Heroes truly lived up to their name as the strongest four in the region. Even when facing Diamond Death Warriors whose strength reached the level of a Tier Four or Five Spirit Aspect, they didn’t fall behind in the slightest. In fact, they were suppressing their opponents. As for Xue Jian, although he didn’t possess the same level of strength as the Northern Domain’s Four Heroes, he wasn’t at a disadvantage either. The final Death Warrior, besieged by dozens of Martial Artists, wasn’t gaining any ground. From the very first exchange, all six Diamond Death Warriors were immediately put on the back foot...
