Chapter 890: Breaking Free, Battlefield! (Double-Length)_2

“Even if it turns into a big trouble, it was Ye Li’s doing, let Ye Li handle it, I want to go back…”

Several Tiger Kings had disagreements over their opinions.

Some Tiger Kings wanted to hunt down Song Changming, while others had already given up on participating in the matter, returned to Thunderstruck Mountain, and some were criticizing Ye Li Feige.

Ye Li Feige’s face was unsightly, not only because he was injured by Song Changming but also because he felt stifled and aggrieved.

As the Thunder Wheel Tiger King, he had never suffered such humiliation as today.

But there was nothing he could do, for he couldn’t defeat Song Changming, not only was his eldest son killed, but his rebellious daughter He Ya was rescued too; today was a complete loss.

Thunderstruck Mountain allowed Song Changming to come and go freely, making other Tiger Kings feel disrespected, and increasingly voiced their complaints against him.

“I’ll find a way to resolve that human kid, but not now…” Unable to stay, Ye Li Feige left this remark, and hurried back to the imperial palace in Thunderstruck Mountain with his children, seeing no one.

He needed to recover from his injuries as soon as possible, and then think long and hard about how to deal with Song Changming and his runaway daughter He Ya.

…

Border area in the Northern Leizhou Territory.

Nearby a main battlefield, the vast expanse of Black Mountain Forest, where killing and rivalry played out incessantly.

Every Human warrior wandered here armed, silently, like hidden hunters.

They searched for traces of the Demon Race, either gathering intelligence or exterminating them.

This Black Mountain Forest was the Demon Army’s last line of defense in the Northern Territory.

If they occupied this place, the Human Race could close in on the Northern Territory, forcing the Demon Army’s main force to retreat to Northern Leizhou.

A rustling sound echoed through the pile of fallen leaves.

Several bizarre-looking, seemingly Black Tree Spirits in the Black Mountain Forest moved with hunched postures.

They were short in stature, their branches evolved into limbs, moving stiffly, their pale blue, tiny eyes darting around cautiously.

Thunder Eating Monsters, a widespread Demon Race in Lei Province.

Though there were many racial groups, and a countless number of Demons, very few of them evolved into Great Demons, ninety-nine percent of Thunder Eating Monsters were the lowest Demons in Lei Province.

“Wars are so dreadful…” One Thunder Eating Monster said listlessly.

“Yeah, yeah, if we run into humans, we’re done for!”

“Why do we have to be involved…”

“No choice, our king agreed to join the war, saying it was to defend Lei Province to the death…”

“Old buddy, let’s find a spot to bury ourselves, otherwise…”

Before the Thunder Eating Monster could finish speaking, suddenly, multiple fierce Sword Qis slashed out from the front and above.

“Ah, save us…”

Several unremarkable Thunder Eating Monsters were swiftly torn to pieces by the Sword Qi, lifeless.

A man clad in Battle Armor, holding a Longsword descended from the air, glanced at the Thunder Eating Monster corpses, shaking his head.

“Just a few Little Demons.”

Not far away, a young woman in flowing purple attire approached, somewhat helplessly commenting.

“Killing these Little Demons has no significance to the overall battle, brother, keep searching, we must achieve great accomplishments and be remembered by the world!” Sun Zhuoyue’s clear voice echoed through the forest.

Sun Qitong smiled wryly: “Little sister, don’t rush, those deep in their Tao Practice, extremely powerful Demon Race beings, wait until you’ve trained more years in the Thunder God Hall, for now, just helping to kill these Little Demons is considered contributing.”

He intended to advise his sister not to aim too high, but out of affection, he couldn’t express harsh truths directly.

Having been recruited by the Thunder God Hall since childhood, Sun Zhuoyue was excellently protected, her understanding of the outside world and the Demon Race was rather limited.

This led to a lack of reasonable perception of her own cultivation strength when faced with actual battlefields now.

Despite having only two Martial Veins unlocked in her Innate Cultivation, she continuously aspired to gain fame and harvest merits on the battlefield.

In his eyes, although his sister possessed Cultivation potential, she was still too young and could only fight these Little Demons to accumulate combat experience.

This was why he brought her to this Black Mountain Forest.

Where countless weak Thunder Eating Monsters roamed, it seemed quite safe.

Sun Zhuoyue was somewhat dissatisfied but hadn’t the chance to voice it when suddenly, a colossal Thunder Strike pierced the sky, blasting the earth, sweeping away countless flora and sand, even a nearby mountain was collapsed by the Energy impact.

“What’s going on?!” Sun Qitong exclaimed in shock, protecting his sister.

Looking afar, they saw a Thunder Python appear above the Black Mountain Forest, emitting a piercing roar.

Meanwhile, at the explosion center hit by the Thunder Strike, several Human Race powerhouses were gravely injured.

“It’s a Great Demon!” Sun Qitong shouted heavily.

Having been at the battlefield for a while, he could almost instantly identify that the Thunder Python was indeed a Great Demon!

“It’s Uncle Zhan Ge, Uncle Sun Yi, and Uncle Lu Yi!” Sun Zhuoyue sharply identified those severely injured, recognizing them as Shi Clan Members from her family.

Sun Qitong obviously noticed this too, his face turning grim.

The family’s three Innate Perfection Cultivation powerhouses now faced a Great Demon’s emergence, it was normal to struggle.

Without a Grandmaster’s aid, these family seniors were in peril.

“Little sister, hurry to contact the family, I’ll join the battle.” Sun Qitong immediately said.

Many family powerhouses of the Sun Family were stationed in this area, including more than one Martial Arts Grandmaster powerhouse!

If they could relay messages swiftly, hold on until Grandmaster support arrived, they had a chance to survive.

Sun Zhuoyue’s eyes shook, frozen in place.

When the Great Demon, she longed for, truly appeared, the young girl realized how naive and ignorant her past thoughts were.

She knew nothing of true power.

Just the slightest bit of Great Demon Qi was enough to immobilize her, let alone engage in battle…

“And the humans are like bugs…” The Thunder Python’s vertical pupils moved, noticing the two human auras below.

Compared to the Innate Perfection Realm Martial Arts Powerhouses, both Sun Qitong and Sun Zhuoyue seemed insignificant.

But the Thunder Python didn’t mind consuming them as small snacks.

“Oh no, it’s Zhuoyue!” Sun Yi also discovered the two there, immediately becoming anxious.

“Damn it, Sun Qitong even brought Zhuoyue here!” Sun Zhange gritted his teeth.

Sun Zhuoyue was selected by the Thunder God Hall as a child, the girl was already a key figure for family cultivation focus.

All family elders held high hopes for Sun Zhuoyue, including them.

“We must get Zhuoyue to safety!” Sun Luyi stated firmly, but presently all three were severely injured, unable to deal with the Great Demon ahead in the slightest.

As they saw the Thunder Python dive and bite towards them, their Sword Qi struck the Thunder Python but barely affected it.

At the moment of crisis, it seemed their fate wasn’t meant to end.

A figure suddenly descended, shattering the earth, stepping on the Thunder Python, stopping its swallowing urge.

The Thunder Python felt its head buzzing, just as it intended to struggle and rage, a calm voice sounded.

“Stop.”

The Thunder Python immediately froze, its twisted snake body obediently stilled.

The Sun Family members looked at each other, feeling a lingering fear, their backs dripping in cold sweat.

Regardless, temporarily they survived.

“Fengzhou Sun Family, Sun Zhange, thanks the senior for the assistance!” Sun Zhange swallowed hard, immediately stepped forward, respectfully saluting the figure on the Thunder Python.

Able to immobilize the Thunder Python with one step, such profound and inscrutable skill could only be a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and not an ordinary one at that.

He hadn’t seen a family Elder Grandmaster with such combat abilities.

Thus, showing respectful gratitude was the right approach now.

Not only because Song Changming saved them, but due to his incalculable power, they dared not underestimate Song Changming.
