At this moment, the demon army led by Iris in the sky and the elite army of ten thousand Winged Man tribes led by Yi Chengjie met in the air.
"The blood clan dares to invade our territory, they are simply seeking death!" Yi Chengjie didn't even bother to take a look at the group of blood clan soldiers in black armor led by Iris.
The army led by Yi Chengjie was an elite force of ten thousand Winged Man tribes, only one-third of the enemy's strength. How could he be afraid?
Because the demon army wore black armor and their wings and blood clan were also black, coupled with the cover of the night, it was easy to overlook the identity of these demons.
Moreover, the Winged Man tribe, unlike the blood clan, did not have night vision abilities, so in this environment, their vision became hazy and they did not notice anything unusual.
"You really have courage to dare to fight against us in the dark. Are you brave or ignorant?" Iris placed her hands arrogantly on her chest and glanced disdainfully at Yi Chengjie.
"Hahaha..." Yi Chengjie laughed heartily, "Don't beg me for mercy, I'll slaughter these blood clan soldiers."
With a command from Yi Chengjie, the ten thousand Winged Man soldiers drew their swords and charged towards Iris and her group.
Qizhou and Shizhi immediately engaged in battle, the two teams of soldiers fought fiercely, and soldiers constantly fell from the sky, crashing into the dust.
Upon closer inspection, they were all Winged Man soldiers' corpses.
Qizhou activated Ghost Ruin, countless flying ghost soldiers emerged from it, launching a fierce attack against the Winged Man army.
Some ghost soldiers directly pounced on the Winged Man soldiers, tearing their wings apart, and falling together from the sky, extremely brutal.
Under the blessing of the power of the Qizhou sequence, these ghost soldiers could resurrect and fly back into the sky to continue fighting.
Shizhi was not idle either; she summoned a black spear and charged straight at Yi Chengjie.
As the prince of the Winged Man tribe, Yi Chengjie had received strict training since childhood and instinctively dodged Shizhi's fatal blow.
"You blood clan dare to attack this prince, you deserve to die!" Yi Chengjie became angry and swung his large knife towards Shizhi.
Shizhi didn't care, she pierced her long spear towards Yi Chengjie, and both of them immediately engaged in a fierce battle, sparking flames.
Shizhi activated the power of her sequence, her pupils were surrounded by black mist, making her appearance hardly distinguishable from normal in the darkness.
Every time Yi Chengjie swung his blade, Shizhi easily blocked it and left several deep wounds on his body with her spear.
Because the opponent claimed to be a prince, Shizhi didn't stab him to death immediately. She was waiting for the orders of her Majesty, whether to capture him alive.
"Shizhi, I want him alive." At this moment, Iris spoke in a cold tone from the air.
"Understood." Shizhi nodded and continued her attack, leaving more wounds on Yi Chengjie's chest with her spear.
At first, Yi Chengjie could still hold on for a while, but under Shizhi's continuous attacks, he gradually couldn't bear it.
At this time, the other vice generals of the Winged Man also surrounded Shizhi and launched attacks, and Yi Chengjie took advantage of the chaos to retreat, allowing a medic to treat his injuries.
Although Yi Chengjie couldn't defeat Shizhi, he had more people on his side, and for a while, Shizhi couldn't do anything about them, so she could only kill a few Winged Man who approached her first.
"Capture me? Dream on," Yi sneered. "You generals, go and capture that silver-haired girl and bring her to me."
"Yes." The five generals nodded and quickly rushed into the darkness towards Iris.
Iris watched the movements of the five generals, furrowing her brows slightly, but she didn't make any moves. She simply stared at the five winged men with eyes that seemed to be looking at dead people.
Just as the five winged men were about to approach Iris, suddenly, a massive beast appeared abruptly behind her.
"Roar!!"
With a roar that sounded like a dragon's cry, sharp claws directly swiped at one of the generals' heads, slicing open his skull. His brain matter and blood fell from the sky and splattered on the ground.
Under the moonlight, a white dragon appeared beside Iris.
This dragon had a white body, crimson eyes, and a pair of arched horns near its mouth. On the horns, lower horns, and tail-tip, there were golden ribbons-like formations.
Baixi's red, round pupils stared at the winged men, emitting a hint of ferocity from its eyes.
The remaining four winged men generals were terrified by the presence of this colossal creature and turned to flee together.
Baixi saw that they wanted to escape and began releasing particles from its long, jaw-like tentacles to alter the particles in the atmosphere.
In an instant, the sky grew dark with dense clouds, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and strong winds howled as if the end of the world was approaching.
"Boom!!"
Bolts of lightning struck down, illuminating the sky and revealing the appearance of the massive creature.
"What kind of monster is this? Is it a dragon from the legends?"
"No, dragons don't look like this. According to the records, dragons have sturdy bodies, long and thick necks, horned or crested heads, sharp teeth, and a long tail. They walk on four strong and powerful legs and fly with a pair of wings resembling those of bats. Their bodies are covered in scales for protection. They have four layers of eyelids, with the inner three being transparent to protect their eyes from harm. Their ears can open and close, although not all dragons have external ears. Their teeth are sharp and usually curve inward to tear apart their prey." One of the winged men generals spoke, looking at the colossal creature in front of them, and found himself swallowing his saliva involuntarily. "This white monster has a serpentine body, no wings, yet it can soar into the sky. It's terrifying."
Just as the general finished explaining, a thick, purple lightning bolt came down from the cloud, directly reducing him to a charred corpse, falling from the sky and crashing heavily into the ground.
The remaining winged men generals retreated as they witnessed this scene, their fear growing.
This white monster not only flew without wings but also unleashed lightning without any casting movements. It was truly horrifying.
The remaining three winged men generals realized the imminent danger and immediately turned to flee. However, as soon as they took their first steps, three bolts of lightning accurately struck them down, turning the three into blackened charred corpses, not even giving them a chance to scream.
These three charred bodies fell from the sky in front of everyone, making a muffled thud upon impact with the ground.
Witnessing such a bloody and violent scene, the winged men warriors were horrified, each feeling a sense of dread in their hearts. They dared not stay for even a split second longer.
The injured Wing watched this scene with clarity, especially the figure of the white giant beast. He could see it clearly.
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, fear evident in his eyes.
"This should be an ancient beast from the Divinity and Demon's Continent. No wonder these blood vampires are so arrogant, turns out they have the help of these ancient beasts!" Wing speculated in his mind.
While Wing was thinking, a gust of wind blew, causing his clothes to flutter.
He looked up and saw Iris' golden-red beautiful eyes staring at him.
Under her gaze, Wing stiffened and couldn't move, it felt like even his soul was bound.
"You..." Wing opened his mouth but couldn't utter a complete sentence. His eyes darted around, wanting to struggle, but he felt unable to control his body.
His soul seemed to be bound, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.
Seeing this, Shizhi quickly rushed towards Wing, wielding her black blade, killing all the winged men that stood in her way.
As a prince of a nation, Wing naturally had formidable strength, but he had no ability to resist against Shizhi, a demon general.
Shizhi swung her black spear, severing Wing's limbs, and blood spurted out.
"Ah... it hurts!" Wing cried out in pain.
Then, Shizhi forcibly tore off the wings on his back.
Seeing a piece of his skin being peeled off from his back, Wing felt like his bones were being ripped apart. The intense pain made him faint, but the pain on his body was nothing compared to the fear in his heart.
Seeing Wing collapse, Shizhi grabbed his clothes on his back and flew towards Iris. Many winged men soldiers wanted to rescue their prince, but they were easily killed by Shizhi.
Ten thousand elite winged men soldiers continued to fall from the sky, clearly slaughtered by the demon army led by Qizhou and the ghost army.
The winged men soldiers looked at all this with despair in their eyes. They knew that if this continued, within two hours, the entire army would be annihilated, not to mention that the ancient beast on the enemy's side hadn't even made a move yet, and they had already lost nearly eight thousand soldiers.
"We surrender." Finally, a winged men general pleaded for mercy, throwing down his weapon and landing on the ground, crouching down and raising both hands above his head to indicate surrender.
The other winged men soldiers saw their comrade's fate and followed suit.
Shortly after, thousands of winged men soldiers all crouched on the ground, raising their hands to surrender.
Iris stood on top of the white giant beast, holding her hands and looking down at the thousands of crouching winged men soldiers, sneering.
"If you surrender, you should do it properly. If you don't kneel, how can you show your sincerity?" Iris said indifferently, "If you kneel, I may consider sparing you. I love to see you in a subservient state."
"Damn blood vampires!" Some young winged men soldiers glared at Iris with anger, gritting their teeth and cursing.
In their eyes, if it weren't for the terrifying strength of this ancient beast, these blood vampires wouldn't stand a chance against them.
"Are you unhappy?" Iris raised an eyebrow and asked.
The young winged man soldiers lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
Qizhou was seen holding a sickle, slowly descending from the sky, and slitting the throat of a young winged man soldier.
Fresh blood splattered, spraying onto the faces of the surrounding winged man soldiers.
"As prisoners, you will answer whatever I ask, or else you will be killed," Iris said calmly.
"Yes..."
The winged man soldiers muttered softly, their eyes filled with resentful glimmers. However, they had no choice in front of a stronger force.
Gradually, many of the winged man soldiers changed from a crouching position to a kneeling position, bowing their heads and not daring to breathe.
Some of the winged man soldiers who had some backbone lifted their heads and stared at Iris resentfully.
Among them, an older winged man soldier noticed that the silver-haired girl was actually standing on top of the head of an ancient behemoth, which shocked them.
It should be noted that ancient behemoths were wild and untamed creatures that would never allow anyone to ride on them. All creatures of every race ought to have a profound reverence for ancient behemoths, or else they would be punished by them.
Not only was the silver-haired girl standing on top of the ancient behemoth, but her eyes showed no respect whatsoever. Didn't she know that doing so would anger the ancient behemoth?
Could it be that this blood clan girl had tamed the ancient behemoth? But that was simply impossible! How could an ancient behemoth submit to a blood clan, unless the girl's strength far surpassed that of the ancient behemoth.
But if that were the case, this blood clan girl would be an extraordinary existence. It meant that her strength far surpassed that of the ancient behemoth and could even rival that of the Demon Emperor and the God Your Majesty.
No, she would probably be even stronger than the Demon Emperor or the God Your Majesty! Thinking of this, the older winged man soldier couldn't help but shudder.
"You winged men are truly cowardly, too afraid of death. I let you kneel, and you kneel. Cowards without backbone," Iris mercilessly mocked with an icy tone.
Upon hearing this, a young winged man soldier couldn't help but roar in anger, "Who says we are cowardly, afraid of death? If it weren't for that ancient behemoth present, we would have already rushed forward and completely destroyed the blood clan."
"Ancient behemoth? Could it be that they mistook Baixi for an ancient behemoth?" Iris thought to herself.
She carefully looked at Baixi and had to admit that Baixi's size was immense. If she didn't know better, she would probably mistake her for an ancient behemoth.
Baixi, on the other hand, thought to herself that these winged men actually mistook her for an ancient behemoth. She had to put on a good show to highlight the majesty of her mother.
"Worm, keep your mouth shut. You should consider yourselves lucky to have the privilege of witnessing the appearance of my Lord. Yet, you mock my Lord's power, deserving only of death. General Qizhou, dig out the eyes of that worm and feed them to its comrades on both sides," the ancient behemoth spoke slowly, its crimson eyes fixed on the young winged man soldier.
Qizhou was momentarily taken aback, then showed a look of realization. He respectfully said, "I shall obey Lady Baixi's command."
"You two, hold down that winged man," Qizhou instructed the two black-armored soldiers.
"Yes, sir." The two soldiers walked over and held down the young winged man soldier by his shoulders.
The winged man struggled vigorously, but his strength was no match for the two black-armored soldiers. He could not break free from their grasp and could only wail in pain, begging them to let him go, promising that he would never do it again.
Ignoring his pleas, Qizhou took out his dagger from his waist and mercilessly gouged out the winged man soldier's eyes.
Blood splattered as the eyeballs were torn out.
The winged man soldier screamed in agony, convulsing in pain.
The other winged man soldiers were terrified by the scene. They knelt on the ground, not daring to move or look directly at Iris, fearing they would anger the ancient beast and the vampire girl.
"The ancient beast actually refers to the vampire girl as 'my master'!" This confirmed the elder winged man's suspicion, leaving him horrified and gasping for breath.
Shizhi, who was standing nearby, decided to intervene as well. She dropped the body she was carrying and knelt before Iris, saying respectfully, "Greetings, Your Highness and Lord Bai. How should we handle this winged man prince?"
"The first winged man in the front row, stand up. Everyone else, kneel and wait for further instructions," Iris said.
"M-Me?" The winged man soldier with a small mustache stammered, fear evident in his eyes.
"Qizhou, give him a sword and an exquisite wooden box," Iris ordered Qizhou.
"Yes, Your Highness," Qizhou replied obediently, throwing a sword and a delicate wooden box to the trembling winged man soldier with the mustache.
"What... what is this for?" The mustached winged man soldier asked, his hand trembling as he caught the objects Qizhou had thrown.
"Cut off your prince's head and place it in the box," Iris said indifferently.
"Ah?" The mustached winged man soldier was shocked. This was their prince. How could they dare to cut off his head? It was a great taboo.
"Well, do you think your life is more important, or your prince's life is more important? This prince has a father, mother, and siblings. Don't you have any? If you follow my instructions, I guarantee your safety. If you don't kill him, I don't know what will happen next." Iris's gaze turned sharp, like two blades piercing through the winged man soldier. "Make your choice, for yourself or for a stranger with no connection to you."
These words made the winged man soldier feel as if his heart was being twisted by a knife, causing him immense pain. He almost felt suffocated.
They had to admit that the silver-clad girl's argument made sense. If they didn't follow her orders, their fate today would likely be tragic.
Thinking of his young daughter and elderly mother at home, the mustached winged man picked up the sword from the ground. He clenched his teeth, let out a scream, and brought the blade down on the neck of the winged man prince, instantly causing blood to gush out.
Yi Chengjie died, but his death was so mysterious.
The winged man soldiers present were silent, afraid to move.
Then, the mustached winged man put Yi Chengjie's head into a wooden box. His legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground. Trembling, he asked, "Can... Can I leave now?"
"No hurry. I promised to ensure your safety. Our blood clan is the most trustworthy race and won't deceive you," Iris said in a gentle tone.
But then Iris suddenly became serious. "Kill all the winged men except the mustached one!"
The black-armored demons nodded and raised their blades, hacking away at the winged man soldiers.
Blood flowed like rivers, and cries of anguish filled the air.
The mustached winged man watched as his comrades were slaughtered like fish on a chopping board, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
With a questioning tone, he roared at Iris, "Why! Why do you have to kill them?! Haven't I done everything you asked?!"
"Hehe." Hearing this, Iris chuckled softly and spoke kindly, "I said, I promised to ensure your safety. If we let your comrades go, do you think they won't report you? If they do, wouldn't that make our blood clan untrustworthy to you? For your sake, I will eliminate all potential threats. As for what I said earlier, if you all kneel down, I will consider sparing you, but remember, it is only a consideration. And the result of my consideration is to kill everyone except for you!"
The mustached winged man's body trembled uncontrollably. The cruel reality nearly drove him to the brink of collapse.
"Go back now. If fate allows, we will meet again," Iris said in the most tender voice, filling the words with a bone-chilling effect. Then she waved her hand.
Silently and dejectedly, the mustached winged man lowered his head and left, carrying the wooden box containing Yi Chengjie's head.
It must be said that the blood clan is truly the most reputable race.
