Chapter 702 - 696: Harassment, Retreat at First Contact

The Void Race has been slaughtered by Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and the Buddha for so many years, yet they have not perished.

This indicates that their race indeed has some redeeming qualities.

To say nothing else, in terms of unity, the Void Race absolutely surpasses the disciples under Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and the Buddha.

The disciples under the Demon Lord, Wa Huang, and the Buddha are merely fellow apprentices at best.

The Void Race is kin from the same root.

They deeply remember their responsibility; this battle concerns the life and death of their race.

Therefore, these members of the Void Race dare not be careless.

The combat plans are all executed according to the strategy devised by the Void Race’s Second Elder.

Quick retreat upon contact, using minimal cost to harass the coalition forces of the three factions.

Looking at the Peacock Great Ming King and Nato encroaching from the left and right flanks, the Void Race’s members did not act separately.

Instead, they abandoned the left flank of the Peacock Great Ming King, choosing to gather all their strength and attack the right flank where Nato was.

Seeing this scene, Nato’s expression turned somewhat grim.

"All rushing towards me, do they think I, Nato, am an easy target?" Nato thought to himself.

Just as he thought this, Nato reconsidered, "Good, they’re coming!"

"Since they’re here, I’ll keep all of you, and all the credit will be mine!"

With this thought, black flames erupted from Nato’s body, and wielding a long spear, he charged towards the Void Race.

Nato has a nickname in Wa Huang’s Palace, called "Devil Child Nato."

He is well known as a martial maniac at Wa Huang’s Palace, and in terms of strength, he is second only to the Peacock Great Ming King.

The leading member of the Void Race was modeled after the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, possessing seventy to eighty percent of the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder’s strength, barely able to deal with Nato.

The nine fox tails were like nine long whips, continuously striking at Nato.

Nato wielded the long spear, maneuvering deftly among the nine fox tails.

Nato had the upper hand against the leading member of the Void Race.

However...

The fellow disciples brought by Nato were all overwhelmed.

Wa Huang allocated a hundred people, led separately by the Peacock Great Ming King and Nato.

This means, each had only fifty fellow disciples under their command.

The Void Race charged towards Nato’s side, and before the Peacock Great Ming King could encroach, Nato’s side was at a numerical disadvantage.

More importantly, not only were they at a numerical disadvantage, but also in quality.

The Void Race’s side had several dozen people, all of them Tier Two Powerhouses.

Nato’s fifty fellow disciples included around ten Tier Two powerhouses, mostly at the Tier Two Early Stage.

The rest were only Tier Three.

The disciples from Wa Huang Palace, even if they resisted with Magical Treasures and Arrays, were still repeatedly defeated by the remaining Void Race.

The current Void Race indeed has reasons to be proud.

If it were not for the top-notch combat strengths of Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and the Buddha,

the Void Race wouldn’t bother with guerrilla warfare; they would directly surround and obliterate the coalition of three families.

Ordinarily, if there’s an advantage, one would lend a hand to fellow disciples.

But Nato is different.

Nato has the mindset of a seven or eight-year-old child, and is extremely competitive.

He focused entirely on dominating the leading member of the Void Race, completely disregarding his other fellow disciples.

This led to his fellow disciples soon being scattered.

The main forces of the Void Race had broken through Nato’s encirclement.

Seeing this, the leading member of the Void Race thought it was time to leave.

Divine Power gathered on the nine fox tails, green light burst explosively, and the fierce shockwave blasted Nato away.

The blinding light briefly left Nato blind.

Taking advantage of this moment, the leading member of the Void Race had already left the battle circle, going to meet with teammates, together escaping into the vast Void.

Nato’s strength was slightly superior to the leading member of the Void Race, so he was not really injured.

Just as the violent energy dissipated, a disciple of the Void Race hurried over, reporting to Nato: "Brother Nato, they’re all gone!"

Hearing this, Nato’s face couldn’t help but turn unpleasant.

Nato is someone who cares deeply about his image.

However, today’s incident was a complete failure for him.

Wa Huang’s command was to annihilate all the Void Race.

But in the end, the Void Race suffered no casualties; they all damn well escaped.

Not a single member of the Void Race was left, none were killed.

Not only that, but three of Wa Huang Palace’s fellow disciples were killed, and more than ten were injured.

"Ah!"

"This is infuriating, absolutely infuriating!" Nato bristled with anger, emanating fierce killing intent.

Having handled things this way, does Nato have any face left to see Wa Huang?

"We can’t let the Void Race escape, chase them!" Nato ordered, then led the charge following the direction of the Void Race’s disappearance.

Other disciples from Wa Huang’s Palace, having suffered losses at the hands of the Void Race, immediately followed in pursuit.

Previously, in battles with the Void Race, Wa Huang’s Palace had always had the upper hand; when had they ever suffered such losses?

Today, they vowed not to stop until they annihilate this entire Void Race.

Meanwhile, Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and the Buddha watching from the Void also noticed the situation on this side.

"Something’s not right!"

"Has the Void Race learned the art of war?" the Buddha hesitantly remarked.

Previously, in battles against the Void Race, the Void Race had always charged forward in a chaotic frenzy!

Today, the Void Race seemed exceptionally orderly.

"Hmph!" Wa Huang snorted coldly, speaking with anger, "In the face of absolute power, learning anything is futile."

Wa Huang was originally hostile toward Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, and now seeing this Void Race copying Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder escape, she was naturally displeased.

Seeing Wa Huang’s grim expression, the Demon Lord had to fan the flames!

"Wa Huang, your subordinates are no good either!"

"Quite numerous, but it’s all show and no substance!"

"Over a hundred of Wa Huang’s Palace disciples, besieging several dozen Void Race members, one team scattered, one couldn’t catch up?"

"If you ask me, don’t pursue them, falling into an ambush and being completely annihilated would be a massive disgrace." The Demon Lord’s voice carried a gust of wind.

"Peacock Great Ming King, you chase as well, join forces with Nato, completely annihilate this squad of the Void Race for me!" Wa Huang glared at the Demon Lord and issued a command to the Peacock Great Ming King.

The Peacock Great Ming King only wanted to loaf around, but now Wa Huang gave direct orders, he had no choice but to follow them.

Helplessly, the Peacock Great Ming King could only lead his team and also chase after them.

As the Void Race fled, they used Secret Techniques while on the run, contacting the battlefield’s chief commander, the Void Race’s Second Elder.
