Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 983: All Sorts of Schemes

Zhang Hanxiang slammed a palm into one of the blood demon underlings, flash freezing and shattering it into flecks of ice. She whirled around, glancing at the blood demons that were surging forward to attack them.

"Your leader might be a fool, but are all of you going to join him in his craziness?"

The blood demons smiled wryly. "We don\'t have a choice, either. Our world has been destroyed. There\'s no one else to lead us but him. The death spirit king is too strong, and if we don\'t want to become black spirits ourselves, all we can do is surrender."

The blood demon warriors surrounded the allied forces.

"If not for the fact that we\'re still useful, if not for the fact that the blood lord pleaded for mercy on our behalf, we\'d already have been converted into black spirits."

"Against the death spirits, we have no way to survive other than to become lackeys."

"We\'re doing what we do in order to live."

Despite the blood demon warriors\' tone, they clearly didn\'t intend on holding back.

"We don\'t want to drop our grudges, but what strength ?do we have to take revenge?"

"It\'s difficult enough for us to survive..."

"We don\'t want to die with Blood Heaven."

"Don\'t listen to these bastards! No one held a blade to their necks and forced them to betray us." Hong Xi manifested a silver sword with her genetic energy.

There had been plenty of opportunities for the blood demon warriors to inform the allied forces of the impending ambush while the blood lord was working with them, but none of the blood demons did so. They were greedy to live, yes, but it was clear that they also thought nothing of the allied forces\' lives.

"[The Hidden Moon]!" Hong Xi\'s sword, imbued with moonlight, seemed to cut apart a silvery veil. The blood demons around her were slaughtered.

Zhang Hanxiang nodded, and a blizzard formed around her. Her hands glowed brightly in blue, freezing heaven and earth and sending the battlefield into the deep of winter. A burst of icy energy emanated from her, freezing large patches of the black spirits.

The blood lord cried out, "Who knows when the blood king would have developed an interest in men? Or rather, he\'s already done so. He was looking at me strangely, and he was just waiting for an opportunity to get me in bed!"

In the end, was the blood king the one at fault?

The blood lord smiled in a crazed fashion. "Rather than let him push me down and take me like a wild beast, I might as well take the initiative and get rid of him first."

Zhang Lie: ...

Nightdemon: ...

The frost spirit commander: ...

It felt as though the blood lord had gone crazy after the stress of dealing with the blood king for so long.

The blood lord continued, "I was intending to launch a sneak attack on you guys during the battle yesterday, but I didn\'t expect how strong you were. Even millions of the death spirits\' battleships weren\'t able to do anything to you, so I could only work on a Plan B instead."

The captain of the solar corps cried out, "Is there anyone around who can save me? I think I can make it!"

Zhang Lie and the others, preoccupied by their conversation, had left the captain of the solar corps unattended.

The captain of the solar corps was moaning in pain as he rolled around on the ground, vomiting up golden blood as he did so.

Zhang Lie said, "Blood lord, your plan won\'t succeed. Even this ambush won\'t stop us here."

The frost spirit commander added, "If you don\'t want your kin to perish in this black desert, surrender now."

"You\'re the ones who will perish here!" The blood lord raised his hands high up in the air. As though signaled, all the death spirits\' battleships glowed a vibrant purple.

Nightdemon cocked his head. "Is this all you\'ve got?"

The frost spirit commander continued, "Tens of thousands of these purple lasers might threaten us, but only that. They won\'t be enough to kill all of us, not by far."

At the most, these lasers might kill large swathes of the aliens, but they would do nothing against the strongest existences among the allied forces.

On the other hand, the commanders present could easily destroy the death spirit battleships.

"Indeed?" The blood lord grinned ferociously. "We\'ll find out, won\'t we?"

Unease suddenly rippled through Zhang Lie.

"This desert will become your graveyard." The blood lord waved his hand, and the death spirits\' battleships began to shoot their lasers.

Purple light filled the skies. Tens of thousands of purple beams formed a flood of light. The frost spirit commander and Nightdemon attempted to shield against the lasers as Zhang Lie\'s face grew visibly alarmed. He realized what the problem was, now—the lasers weren\'t shooting toward them!

"Block the lasers!" The space around Zhang Lie trembled as blue genetic energy gathered and rippled around his arms. With a twist of his wrist, a frightening aura descended on the world. The skies began to darken, and a fish the size of a whale materialized in the air.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Soar]!" A huge wave soared into the air. As Zhang Lie punched forward, the fish slammed its huge tail on the ground and sent a torrent of water surging into the air. Ripples of energy spread out from Zhang Lie, warping the space around him. The towering waves looked like enraged black dragons as they blocked the path of the purple lasers.

Pale blue explosions erupted in the skies in flashes of blue genetic energy and purple light. However, Zhang Lie\'s [Fists of the Silent Sea: Soar] only managed to block a fraction of that light. There were simply too many lasers. A portion of the purple lasers passed through his attack.

Meanwhile, Nightdemon and the frost spirit commander were stunned. They could understand why Zhang Lie wanted to defend against the attack, but why was he so alarmed about it?

The two of them quickly understood what was going on. The purple light arced over the skies. From the very beginning, the death spirits\' battleships hadn\'t been targeting them.

Neither the death spirits nor the blood lord were fools. They knew that ten thousand battleships would be insufficient to kill them. Instead, the purple lasers shot toward... the abyssal rift, the one that the blood lord had brought them toward, which lay right before them.

The blood lord cried out, "Go to hell!"

As the purple light shot into the depths of the right and exploded, spatial fluctuations rippled from the rift. A giant cyclone formed around them.

The frost spirit commander barely remained on his feet. "Just what\'s going on?"

Zhang Lie\'s brows furrowed. "Do you remember the spatial fluctuations we sensed from the abyssal rift?"

The frost spirit commander was shocked. "Wasn\'t that something the blood lord made up to fool us all?"

"Given what just happened, it looks like it\'s the real thing..."
