Battle Emperor - Chapter 91

CH91:GOLD EATER BEAST, GOLDEN LIFE TREE (PT 1)

Far behind the frontline, a rogue and a knight emerged as the two of them did not even try to pass over Xie Aoyu and Roque. Their sluggishly followed closely from behind, when Xie Aoyu quickens his pace, they also quicken theirs. As the result, the distance of both sides throughout the trip is merely about four meters, precisely a pretty good distance to launch an attack. 

(TN: I decided to use a rogue instead of bandit as it sounds much more proper, I mean a rogue cultivator without a sect, rather than a bandit, even if the raw clearly state bandit/thief, but rogue brings much wider perspectives and it also can be use as a replacement for bandit.)

Xie Aoyu secretly observes. 

He discovered that these two are somewhat very familiar with each other(TN: well coordinated, mutual/tacit understanding); they ought to be so throughout the journey, rather than act individually.

"Let's go." Xie Aoyu said to Roque. 

They both speed up their movements as they forge ahead. 

Inside the cave, the binding strength of the golden force becoming stronger and stronger, and so in order to advance, Roque and others need to use their battle-qi to resist the golden force as the forces also getting more and more sharper. 

Xie Aoyu as he is not affected at all by the golden force was able to advance forward with ease, causing Roque to exclaim in astonishment. The cave is quite deep, as they had walked more than 200 meters in distance, before they reached the end of the cave.

The end is exceptionally spacious.

And so the battle (TN: which will take place here later) will also be going to be extremely intense.

The Gold Eater Beast is quite fierce, but in Xie Aoyu's eyes, one can see that, Jowers and others are not going to be of much use at all.

All of them are currently being blocked by the golden force.

"Roar!"

The Gold Eater Beast roars, the golden light on its whole body seemed natural and poised, forcing Jowers, Valentinez and others to fall back, the beast imitate their movement by also retreated two steps backward, as its glare like a tiger watching its prey toward everyone including Xie Aoyu. 

Meanwhile, the golden force within the cave starts to become frantic. 

Apparently it is using the golden force to unleash one fierce attack. 

The external appearance of the Gold Eater Beast looks like a wolf, but fierce like a tiger, and golden scales covering all over its body, even the eyes, and the horns are golden, making it look like a pile of gold.

"It manipulates the golden force, let us all attack it together first, and then we can discuss everything afterwards." Valentinez shouted out loud, as he brandishes his sword at once and dashed forward. 

But as soon as he rushed forward for the first two steps, he was surprised to find, except for Feili that responded, none among the others who made their movements, making his face to turned red, as he felt utterly embarrassed, while at the same time, also realized that all of the ten people who are inside the cave are not foolish. 

"Roar! Roar!" 

All those ten people seem to be fighting and scheming against each other, which is actually benefiting the Gold Eater Beast the most, at the latter seizes the chance to control the golden force frantically, making the pressure within the cave to become more and more intense. 

Gradually excluding Xie Aoyu, all the people here have no option but to greatly increase the amount of their battle-qi to resist. Around the top of the mountain walls, the golden light is getting more and more concentrated, went from originally tiny specks, to faintly converge to become a tract of land (TN: all those specks of lights come from all direction and merged, become bigger and wider than before), Xie Aoyu also put out an appearance of someone who is trying to resist by using his battle-Qi, "Everyone, once these golden specks of forces merge and become one tract of land, then, it is likely that it will be part of the beast's golden shield, at that time, our strength will be limited to at least 70%, while the Gold Eater Beast's fighting strength will likely be double due to its golden shield. "

"What should we do then?"Feili asked.

"Attack the mountain walls or the ground; destroy any part of the surface and stones that have the metallic element, only by doing so we can break the transformation of the golden force from becoming its golden shield." Xie Aoyu lowers his voice as he said.

As he heard the words, Jowers, looked towards Sorsk.

As a strategist, Sorsk dabbled from all angles and in regard of this he also knows, which later he gave a slight nod.

They communicate with their eyes, and soon afterwards, all of them raised their weapons.

"Roar!"

The Gold Eater Beast roared.

This frantic force of gold suddenly become violent, an extremely frightening pressure comes from all directions, and at the same time, golden lights magnificently flourished from its body, this dazzling golden light which then assumed the appearance of arrows in the mid air.

This is its unique golden Enchantment ... ... Golden arrow!

"Swish, Swish, Swish, Swish .."

Dense, concentrated golden arrows looking like drops of rain shrouded within the cave, swiftly moving forward.

"Smash these metallic rocks into pieces!" Xie Aoyu shouted out loud, he was the first to thrust a sword into the ground.

Thunder-Spirit Holy Sword effused boundless amount of battle-qi internally, directly smashed the golden stones which emerges on the ground into pieces, resulting a portion of terrifying force gushing out.

"Ka Ka Ka Ka ......"

Then one crack after another began to spread everywhere.

A large expanse of golden rocks was destroyed into pieces.

At the same time when countless of crushed rocks flipped and flying in the air, he use them to smash the Golden arrow that was shot swiftly towards him.

The rest of the people were also struck with arrows one after another.

But not everyone can be shot that easily, on Jowers's side, there is Gert with his punch, on Valentinez's side there is Feili to punch those, on the rogue’s side, there is a knight to undertake the task (TN: to block), while Delle only has to rely on himself.

And so the rest of the people (TN: beside Gert,Feili,the knight guy, and Delle) did not even need to throw their punches.

As the arrows being punched, an immediate effect taken place, as explosives burst of sound was produced.

Those metallic stones had been destroyed, and the almost finished form golden shield was gradually dissipated immediately, the pressure that creates the golden force also suddenly reduces, making everyone to feel calm again.

With the flying debris still in the air, a figure suddenly dashed forward.

Xie Aoyu can see clearly, it was that rogue who was behind him.

He was waiting for the opportunity, relying on his speed at this moment, as he must break through the Gold Eater Beast, and steal the most precious object...... The Golden Life Tree!

His quick speed, even Xie Aoyu could not help but to see him in a new light.

His speed is really quite inconceivable, there is almost no remnants of his figure at all (TN: blur), as he managed to instantaneously breaks through the Gold Eater Beast's defense, and landed behind its body, flushes away to the most inner side.

"Che!" 

Sorsk smiled, as if he had been anticipated this in advance, he opened his folded fan, and gently sweeps it, as there are hints of silvery lights released. 

Silvery lights flashing, with a sharp sound of breaking throughout the empty air space, as it stopped abruptly at one side where the rogue is. 

"Dang dang dang ..." 

The rogue shook the pitch-black dagger in his hand, to dismiss those silvery lights. 

It gives the Gold Eater Beast a chance, as it roared, targeting the rogue, bowing its head, ready to use its glittering Golden Horn to knock against the former. 

It turns around and get out from its position. 

"Whoosh!" 

Jowers try to be the first to break through the Gold Eater Beast's barrier, he and Sorsk have calculated this beforehand, and so fitting with the remarkable understanding between the two of them, Sorsk become the second person to follow him from behind. 

The next person was Valentinez.

Xie Aoyu, Roque, and Delle, in addition of the Knight did not have time to ponder, in order to block Jowers and the other two, these four experts teamed up to attack.

Shua! Shua!

Two cold lights flashed, Feili and Gert also release their attacks, as these two people are blocking Roque and Delle, so leaving only Xie Aoyu and the Knight to rush forward.

As for the knight, he was riding the horse and thus should be the one to have the biggest advantage ( TN: in terms of speed), and the space within the cave is actually pretty good (TN: suitable to ride a mount), but because of the golden force, he is unable to ride his mount properly, so he is somehow looks a little bit clumsy. His aim is naturally to go at Valentinez's side.

"Junior Xie's name is famous indeed, I have heard it so many times ah, how about we both measure the gap between the two of us here?" Sorsk moves sideways, obstructing Xie Aoyu's path.

Xie Aoyu sweeps a glance, it seems everyone already had their respective opponents, even that rogue is also in the middle of battle with the Gold Eater Beast (TN: who are trying to squash him with its horn before), the only person without an opponent at the moment is Jowers, "What a good strategy!"

"It's nothing more than just a little trick." Sorsk said as he smiled.

"To be able to calculate even the Gold Eater Beast, this is not just something you should called a little trick." Xie Aoyu look with the corner of his eyes as he catches a glimpse of Jowers rapidly dashed forward, he then shows a faint smile and said "But with just this simple scheme of yours, I am afraid that I cannot let you get what you want." As his voice sink, his body contrary to one's might expect, suddenly fall back.

This sudden way of approach, has cause Sorsk to be taken aback.

At this very moment, Xie Aoyu sweeps away his sword.

The sword curves as it brushed against both Gert and Feili.

These two together with Roque and Delle were in the midst of a battle, and evenly matched, but suddenly a flash of sword attacks, took them by surprise, as such forcing them to retreats hurriedly.

Roque and Delle take this opportunity to soar high in the air.

Both men already make their moves in the midair.

Two Battle-Qi revolves towards Jowers to cut him apart. (TN: it might feel like the sentence a bit off, but this is what in the raw, so I assume these two battle-qi belongs to Roque and Delle, and it should be the most relevant explanation considering the previous sentence)

Sorsk was just about to move, Xie Aoyu chuckled as he said: "You don’t want to begin with me."

Although the two people are distance apart, but Xie Aoyu strike his sword, hack it high up in the air, causing him (TN: Sorsk) to have no choice but to deal with this attack first, as he recognized that the sword Xie Aoyu held within his hands is a holy sword.

Sorsk blocked the attack, Roque and Delle also took the opportunity to rush ahead.

Both of them move toward Jowers simultaneously to fight him.

"Sou!"

Meanwhile, the rogue who has been entangled with the Gold Eater Beast as if a stream of light, by relying on his speed alone, he managed to break away easily from the Gold Eater Beast 's attack range .

He too has to continuously endure silently!

"Roar!"

The Gold Eater Beast was enraged, roaring as it attacks.

Xie Aoyu for a second time falls back as he launches his punch.

This blow was launched without any fighting skills behind it, but enough to make the Gold Eater Beast to turn around and face every one of them, as its bloodthirsty nature explodes, the desire to kill rise up frantically.

Xie Aoyu let a haha ​​laughed, as he turns towards Sorsk to hack him with his sword.

Three flashes of light swords appear.

The close combat of the Indefinite Flying Spinning Sword.

In the course of facing this top notch fighting skills, as it is so powerful, so much that Sorsk also could not afford to be careless when he deal with it, Xie Aoyu then jinked away, he turn towards the direction of the inner cave and rush ahead, as he send out a furious attack towards the Gold Eater Beast to claim his place.

But this is precisely a place fills with people of the same pursuit, adding Sorsk, Gert, Valentinez, Feili, together with the knight guy, there are five people who hinder his way .

This thus formed five people who were fighting to be the first person to get the Golden Life Tree, and five people who are giving the Gold Eater Beast a fierce battle’s prospect, completely ruined Sorsk's arrangement.

( TN : Sorsk was planning to sneakily snatch the Golden Tree Life with Jowers while everyone is busy to deal with the Gold Eater Beast )

Always known for his schemes, Sorsk's face slightly change, to think that he had been fooled by Xie Aoyu unexpectedly, he gloomily stared at Xie Aoyu's back, sneered as he said: The two of you have already passed, inevitably to cause the other three to join hands, I would like to see now how are you going to obtain the Golden Life Three!"
