Xi Men Wo Xue

Chapter 464 Compassion Cannot Command an Army

When the Nine-Colored Deer led a group of Earth Immortal powerhouses to attack again, the giants still saw it as military merit, honor, an audience with Lord Xiao, and abundant rewards.

However, reality taught these giants a lesson in humility, ensuring they would never dare to be so reckless again in their next lives.

This time, the demons were exceptionally powerful. The first wave of giants who rushed forward all perished.

However, upon discovering the demons' traces, all the giants in the world swarmed forward, eager to claim the first merit.

All beings who did not believe in Lord Xiao were demons and needed to be eradicated and purified!

After believers slew demons, their souls would be sublimated.

Therefore, even though the giants suffered heavy casualties, they still surged forward like a tide, launching a siege against the Nine-Colored Deer and his entourage.

The Nine-Colored Deer swept its single antler through the ranks of giants, instantly killing several on the spot.

"You fools!"

"I never imagined my proud brother would die at your hands."

This Nine-Colored Deer was filled with rage. Among the ten who descended in the previous wave, everyone else survived, except for his somewhat arrogant brother who foolishly self-destructed.

His death was one thing, but to die at the hands of such a brainless mob of barbarian slaves was a disgrace to their Nine-Colored Deer lineage.

"You shall all accompany him to the grave."

The Nine-Colored Deer roared, its antlers charging ferociously through the crowd.

Giants, whose heights rivaled mountains, were like rotten wood; none could withstand a single sweep of its antlers, all disintegrating.

The nine Earth Immortal powerhouses behind it also unleashed their full might, causing the giant forces to suffer heavy casualties.

The previous waves of Earth Immortals who descended had all been plagued by misfortune due to the influence of the Great Dao's laws.

The failures of the previous rounds of Earth Immortal powerhouses were less about being killed by Xiao Fei and more about dying due to bad luck.

However, before descending this time, each of them had found a protective treasure that could temporarily ward off the invasion of misfortune.

As long as they could perform at their normal level, their Earth Immortal cultivation would easily crush these ants in the lower realm.

Han Shi led a well-ordered giant army and simultaneously swung his great axe towards the Nine-Colored Deer.

A colossal force, capable of destroying heavens and earth, was blocked by a beam of light surrounding the Nine-Colored Deer.

All the axes were frozen in mid-air by the light, unable to advance an inch.

Then, the Nine-Colored Deer let out a great roar towards the sky, and all the frozen axes flew back.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Han Shi, along with the giant army behind him, was annihilated in an instant!

The death of their comrade did not frighten the other giants.

Han Shi Er Shi, leading another army of giants, comprised of old and young, a seemingly unorganized ragtag group, continued to charge forward, shouting slogans.

"Exterminate the demons!"

"Praise Lord Xiao!"

"For honor..."

Xiao Fei stood on a distant mountain, watching the groups of giants shouting slogans and rushing to their deaths, one after another.

At this moment, he felt a pang of reluctance. After all, the giant world was originally unrelated to this matter; these people were dying because of him.

"Indeed, compassion makes a poor commander!"

Xiao Fei said with self-mockery.

Throughout history, every throne has been built upon countless white bones.

To ascend to the highest peak, one must tread upon the corpses of millions.

He did not harbor such great ambition; all he sought was self-preservation.

Only to prevent himself from becoming the white bones under someone else's feet.

"Lord Xiao! Let us two go!"

Having consumed immortal pills, Han Yi and Han Er had successfully broken through their limits. Seeing the battlefield situation, they spoke anxiously.

Xiao Fei heard them, glanced at the battlefield again, and still firmly shook his head.

"The time is not right. Wait until they have expended some of their strength before making a move."

On the battlefield, with every passing moment, large numbers of people died.

But the situation had reached this point; he could not be soft-hearted and could only execute the optimal plan.

On the battlefield, under the relentless siege of the giant army, the Nine-Colored Deer's immortal power was gradually depleting, but it had no opportunity to recover.

Even stepping on ants for a day would be tiring, let alone these giants who were not truly ants and could still injure Earth Immortal powerhouses.

Xiao Fei stood on the mountain, observing the Earth Immortals on the battlefield becoming increasingly fatigued, their divine abilities weakening.

The time had come!

Although he could wait longer, allowing the giant army to wear down these Earth Immortals, he ultimately lacked the strength to turn a blind eye as his giant believers charged forward shouting slogans to their deaths.

It seemed he did not possess the qualifications of a king.

"Han Yi! Han Er!"

"You two follow me, and we will charge together!"

Xiao Fei roared, gripping a small, blood-red short sword, and charged forward.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Han Yi and Han Er received the order, roared, and followed Xiao Fei forward.

Behind them was the most elite giant army, marching in orderly steps, advancing together.

Xiao Fei, wielding the "Bloodthirsty" evil blade, seized the moment when the Nine-Colored Deer had just annihilated a giant army and launched a swift, all-out attack.

"Kill!"

He thrust the sword into the Nine-Colored Deer's hindquarters.

The special laws of "Bloodthirsty" activated, and the Nine-Colored Deer's vital essence began to surge rapidly towards the wound.

Caught off guard, the Nine-Colored Deer suffered a minor injury and roared, forcing the "Bloodthirsty" evil blade out of its body.

Simultaneously, it planted its front hooves on the ground and kicked out forcefully with its hind legs.

"Boom!"

Both hind legs landed squarely on Xiao Fei, sending him flying dozens of miles away.

Xiao Fei, after all, was a powerhouse who had broken through his limits. He did not die from the blow, only suffering broken bones and tendons, temporarily losing his combat capability.

Han Yi and Han Er, seizing the moment of Xiao Fei's successful sneak attack, also pounced, each grabbing a hind leg and refusing to let go.

With its hind legs held, in a most undignified posture, the Nine-Colored Deer became enraged and desperately kicked out with its hind legs.

Even though Han Yi and Han Er were kicked with broken bones and tendons, they held on tightly.

At this moment, two more giant armies arrived simultaneously, one from the front and one from the rear.

The army from the rear, in particular, was armed with spears, aiming for its most vulnerable part.

This was intolerable! If he were to be pierced there, it would be an immense humiliation!

"Roar!"

With another great roar, the Nine-Colored Deer exuded a powerful radiance, freezing all the charging giants in place, rendering them immobile.

Then, these frozen giants were all flung away.

Just then, tens of miles away, the injured Xiao Fei suddenly vanished.

A moment later, his figure reappeared.

During this brief period, he had returned to his space and replaced himself with a healthy body.

The numerous giants saw their Lord Xiao, who was heavily injured just moments ago, instantly recover.

"Lord Xiao is invincible!"

"Lord Xiao is immortal!"

"Slay the demons!"

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Xiao Fei reached out, and "Bloodthirsty" returned to his hand. He accelerated once more, aiming for the Nine-Colored Deer's rear.

"Swish!"

Xiao Fei, wielding the "Bloodthirsty" evil blade, with a fused domain of laws unfolding around him, successfully broke through the Nine-Colored Deer's outer nine-colored radiance and pierced it from its rear.

"Roar!"

The Nine-Colored Deer's struggles were in vain this time. "Bloodthirsty," having entered from the rear, churned within its body for a few moments before flying out from its forehead.

With a final roar of unwillingness, the Nine-Colored Deer's body slowly collapsed.

"Lord Xiao is invincible!"

Xiao Fei retracted "Bloodthirsty" and looked at the remaining Earth Immortal powerhouses on the battlefield.
