Divine God Against The Heavens Chapter 369: Sunfire Mountain Range

Chapter 369: Sunfire Mountain Range

The Sunfire Mountain Range was located a hundred kilometers behind the Blue Wind City. The Sunfire Mountain Range stretched for several hundred kilometers. Aside from Blue Wind City, there were also two other cities in its surroundings, namely Mo City and Green Leaf City.

The Sunfire Mountain Range was vast and there were countless ferocious Immortal Beasts amongst them. Deep in its heart, there was the legend of the existence of Immortal Beasts at the Late Stage Immortal King Realm.

As a result, under normal circ.u.mstances, other than a few professional Immortal Beast hunting adventurers, very few people would enter the depths of the Sunfire Mountain Range.

However, the previously quiet Sunfire Mountain Range had now become bustling with noise and excitement. Sounds of something tearing through the air continuously rang out in the surroundings of the Sunfire Mountain Range. Following this, figures appeared around the edge of the mountain range and proceeded to walk towards it.

Roughly estimating the numbers of people, it was likely that there were not less than a hundred thousand people. In the distance, there were even more figures rus.h.i.+ng over in a crazed manner.

The appearance of the ruin in the Sunfire Mountain Range had indeed attracted a lot of people. Especially people from the Blue Wind City, Mo City, and the Green Leaf City's martial artists, they were all even more frenzied.

With Ye Xiao and the rest desperately rus.h.i.+ng towards the Sunfire Mountain Range, the distance of hundreds of kilometers only took them about four hours to arrive here. The moment Ye Xiao got close to the Sunfire Mountain Range, he instantly felt chills down his spine as he looked over.

Looking around, there were already a lot of corpses lying on the ground. The rocks were shattered and the ground was a mess. It was obvious that this place had experienced an extremely intense battle.

Ye Xiao touched his nose as he smelled something. The faint smell of blood came from the surroundings.

"Let's go in as well." Dongfang Shang waved to everyone and walked to the front, exhorting Ye Xiao, "The Sunfire Mountain Range is very lush, it is easy to hide your whereabouts. You must be careful when you enter later."

"Yes!"

Ye Xiao nodded his head as he understood very well what Dongfang Shang was saying. Right now, the Sunfire Mountain Range was definitely filled with danger. Among them, there was not only the threat from the Immortal Beasts but also from martial artists.

For the sake of obtaining the greatest benefits, those people or powers would definitely secretly attack and kill some people.

Sure enough, not long after Ye Xiao and the rest stepped into the Sunfire Mountain Range, they were attacked. A man shot an arrow from the distance. It was very fast and powerful. A few trees and rocks were penetrated as they flew towards him.

"Keng!"

With a flash of cold light, the arrow was directly cut into two halves by Dongfang Shang. At the same time, two people from their group also rushed out. They turned into two black shadows as they pounced towards the direction of the arrows.

Moments later, the sounds of a battle could be heard from the depths of the forest. Following that, another two screams could be heard before everything quieted down.

"Swis.h.!.+"

The sound of breaking through the air could be heard. The two martial artists who had rushed out before, returned with a b.l.o.o.d.y aura around them. They looked at Dongfang Shang and said respectfully: "Lord Dongfang, they have been taken care of."

"Ok, continue forward." Dongfang Shang nodded and said.

Ye Xiao was surprised in his heart. Although the battle earlier was far away and he had not seen clearly what had happened, but since the matter could be solved so quickly, it could be seen just how strong the City Lord's Mansion's trained warriors were.

They travelled through the forest and from time to time, they would encounter the ambush from the humans as well as some Immortal Beasts. After about ten miles, they were attacked by at least a dozen waves of attacks.

Although the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were strong, some of them were still injured after this wave of attacks. This short journey of a dozen or so kilometers had also consumed quite a few hours of time.

Dongfang Shang raised his head and looked at the darkening sky and said, "It's already late, we will camp out here and continue our journey tomorrow morning."

No one objected to Dongfang Shang's words. The night was the most dangerous time to spend in the Sunfire Mountain Range. Some ferocious Immortal Beasts would also choose to come out at night. If they were to move at night, it was very likely that they would be attacked by a large number of Immortal Beast.

The night was unusually quiet. Even the breathing sounds were extremely clear.

The sixteen guards of City Lord's Mansion faced in all directions and chose their positions, surrounding Ye Xiao and Dongfang Shang to keep them safe from any unforeseen ambushes and attacks.

Ye Xiao's gaze swept across the 16 guards and frowned slightly. These 16 guards seemed to be scattered around casually, but in reality, they had their own rules. These sixteen people were in contact with each other. As long as any of them were attacked, the others would immediately react and rescue them.

"Ye Xiao, what did you discover?" Dongfang Shang looked at Ye Xiao's surprised expression and asked.

"They seem to be scattered around according randomly but in reality, they have already formed some sort of formation." Ye Xiao said uncertainly. Of course, Ye Xiao knew what kind of formation it was but he didn't choose to give Dongfang Shang a complete answer.

A hint of surprise flashed across Dongfang Shang's eyes. He let out a long sigh and said, "Indeed, they took up their positions according to the Eight Trigrams Formation. They are originally soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion and are chosen from tens of thousands of people. They have already practiced this kind of battle formation countless times and have long since become familiar with it."

A battle formation was a formation created for the sake of war. It was different from the great formation that the formation masters had laid down. A battle formation needed the cooperation of humans in order to unleash its full might.

"Mr. Dongfang, we arrived a bit later, someone couldn't have gotten to the ruin before us, right?" One of the soldiers asked with a smile. Only after arriving at the Sunfire Mountain Range did he realize how attractive the ruin was.

Not only that person, but many of the soldiers were also afraid that the martial artists of the nearby cities have already gone to the ruin. After all, if they could obtain ruin owner's inheritance, even if they were idiots, they could still soar into the sky and become extremely powerful. This sort of attractive force would make everyone want to fight to the death.

"Don't worry about that. Did you already forget what City Master Feng said earlier? To break through the restrictions of this ruin, one would need the full strength of three Immortal King Realm martial artists. Although quite a few powers have entered first and there should be experts at the Late Stage and even half-step Immortal King Realm amongst them, they will definitely not make their move right now."

"Hehe, this matter... I totally forgot about it!" That soldier laughed awkwardly.

.....

The next morning, when morning arrived, the area outside of the Sunfire Mountain Range was bustling with noise and excitement. Many groups had already put away their tents and were making their way towards the mountain range one after another.

"Let's go."

Dongfang Shang waved his hand and instructed the guards to put away the tent. Then, without saying anything unnecessary, he walked directly into the mountain range. Ye Xiao and the rest quickly followed behind him.

The deeper they went into the mountain range, the taller the trees became. The dense branches covered the sky. Only a few strands of sunlight penetrated through the gaps between the leaves and shone in. Even during the daytime, it looked dark and gloomy. The surrounding roars and screams were extremely horrifying.

"Roar!"

A ferocious tiger suddenly appeared in front of Ye Xiao and the others. Its crimson eyes were bloodthirsty. Its claws were covered in blood and not far away, there were two broken corpses. It was clear that they had unluckily met this big guy in front of him.

"It's the Black Gold Tiger."

A group of people not far away cried out in alarm. A few of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

Black Gold Tiger was an Immortal Beast with the strength at the Middle Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm. Its body was as hard as steel. Ordinary weapons wouldn't be able to harm it at all, making it extremely troublesome to deal with this beast.

"Haaargh!" Several of the city guards shouted and were about to attack when Ye Xiao stopped them and said, "Let me do it."
