#3133 - Killing the Eighth Grade: The Gap Between the Old and the New

"Damn it, why can those big shots up there decide our fate with a single sentence? I'm not doing this anymore! So what if it's a Tier-B force? There are so many Tier-B forces in the God Race Continent. Even if I'm not in the Red Tassel, other Tier-B forces would welcome me!"

"Exactly! I can't die here just because those wine-bags and rice-sacks up there can't defeat Emperor Qin, so they send us to die and delay their last moments. Knowing they couldn't win, why did these guys choose to get involved in this mess in the first place?"

"We're from around Dongchang City. We could have been living freely in our own territory, but now, because of the stupidity of those guys up there, they've sent us to fight the Sky City army. Their goal is to sacrifice our lives to curry favor with Emperor Qin. I refuse to accept this!"

"Who can accept this happening? We've cultivated to this level after so many hardships, only to have the stupidity of some superiors cause our demise. If they can't defeat Emperor Qin, they shouldn't provoke him! I won't pay the price for this behavior!"...

Under the threat of life and death, nearly a third of the fierce beasts chose to desert.

Qin Yi didn't order the army to pursue the fleeing fierce beasts.

Never pursue a desperate foe. They just needed to devour the remaining fierce beasts in front of them.

The fact that they wanted to escape meant that these fierce beasts no longer posed a threat in this battle.

Since they didn't pose any threat, why would he order the army to target them? That would be utterly idiotic.

Wasting energy on things that seemed unnecessary was clearly not worth it.

The higher-ups of the Red Tassel Beast Tide were furious about this desertion.

They were counting on these guys to buy them more time.

At the very least, they wanted Sky City to earn enough 'benefits' this time and then stop the war.

Now, with a third of them deserting, wasn't that completely disrupting their plan!

What made them even more uncomfortable was that Sky City seemed to have no interest in these fleeing fierce beasts.

Their target was still the fierce beasts who hadn't deserted.

Many high-level members of the Red Tassel Beast Tide gathered together, their voices filled with anger.

"This is outrageous! How dare these guys desert? Don't they know that desertion means losing their lives? And that Emperor Qin, facing this situation, should quickly chase after them and completely obliterate them! Why is he choosing to ignore them and focus on dealing with us? What is he plotting?"

"Desertion will certainly cost them their lives, but at least there's a chance of escaping. Staying here will definitely lead to being annihilated by the Sky City army. As for what Emperor Qin is thinking, it's easy to understand. These deserters no longer pose much of a threat, so why bother with them?"

"The situation is becoming increasingly dangerous for us all. I think if things continue to develop like this, Emperor Qin might personally take action. None of us here are a match for Emperor Qin. It's all the fault of those deserters! Damn them!"

"Now is not the time to complain. We need to study how to deal with Emperor Qin if he really targets us, so that we can minimize our losses. If we don't prepare in advance, when faced with Emperor Qin's attack, we'll be completely clueless."

The first day passed quickly.

When the high-level members of the Red Tassel Beast Tide tallied the casualties, their hearts trembled.

At their current rate, they could last for a month at most.

And that was under the condition that the situation was relatively good and morale was high.

In the current situation, how could morale possibly be high...

On the evening of the second day, many fierce beasts deserted again.

They had already understood their current situation.

The Sky City army would ignore the fleeing fierce beasts.

On the other hand, their own forces would send people to kill the deserting fierce beasts.

In any case, their own forces were still being held back by the Sky City army.

It was impossible to focus all their attention on them.

As long as they focused on escaping, their chances of survival were relatively high.

Most importantly, staying meant certain death.

As for when they would die, it was only a matter of time.

The third day... the fourth day...

By the seventh day, the high-level members of the Red Tassel Beast Tide could no longer bear it.

The heavy casualties in the first seven days were true, but they weren't too outrageous after all.

However, in the past two days, existences at the fifth-grade Undying Dao Realm and above had been falling continuously.

The highest reaching the eighth-grade Undying Dao Realm...

No one could accept this situation.

The eighth-grade Undying Dao Realm could be regarded as the seed existence for the next major realm.

Whether the Red Tassel Beast Tide could truly rise in the future depended on these eighth-grade Undying Dao Realms.

Now, with too many eighth-grade Undying Dao Realms being lost, it would only lead the Red Tassel Beast Tide into a state of talent shortage.

"Damn it, Emperor Qin is trying to completely destroy the future of our Red Tassel Beast Tide! In the past two days, more than five middle-stage great powers of the eighth-grade Undying Dao Realm have fallen, two of whom even had the hope of breaking through to the ninth-grade Undying Dao Realm and advancing towards the next major realm!"

"What can we do? Our Red Tassel Beast Tide is not considered very powerful among the Tier-B forces. Any Tier-B force picked at random might be stronger than us. If Tier-B forces are divided into different grades, we are completely the lowest."

"Apart from being stronger than those who have just entered the Tier-B force category, we are not even as good as the five related clans in Dongchang City. You must know that the status of these five related clans in the Tier-B forces is only average, while Dongchang City belongs to the upper ranks!"

"I guess if it were the five Tier-B force related clans in Dongchang City, perhaps they wouldn't be as anxious as we are about the fall of five eighth-grade Undying Dao Realms. The difference in foundation is still a bit obvious. Now, the only thing we can do is pray that Emperor Qin will stop as soon as possible and reduce the losses!"

Would Qin Yi choose to stop early?

The answer was no!

Within his capabilities, he would maximize the damage.

These Red Tassel Beast Tide guys had been targeting him for years and were even harboring malicious intentions.

Having the opportunity to inflict huge losses on them, unless one was brain-damaged.

Otherwise, any cultivator standing in Qin Yi's current position would not choose to stop.

Another seven days passed.

In total, more than ten eighth-grade Undying Dao Realms had fallen into Qin Yi's hands.

Initially, Qin Yi found an eighth-grade Undying Dao Realm relatively quickly.

Later, as the number of middle-stage great powers of the eighth-grade Undying Dao Realm fell more and more.

These guys all shrunk back, and some even fled far away.

It seemed that they had received instructions from above, wanting to wait for the end of this battle before returning.
