Chapter 1129: Chapter 555: Commanders Appear in Succession (Part 2)
Just as the commander of the Demon Clan was about to sweep through the Martial Artist army of the Human Race, a flash of sword light suddenly appeared on the horizon!
Sizzle.
This flash of sword light, just moments ago at the edge of the sky, now crossed an unfathomable distance in an instant, arriving above the battlefield, cutting a bright arc, and slashing directly toward the red cloud.
The sword light pierced into the red cloud. The cloud, like tangible flesh, forcibly blocked the sword’s penetration. Two terrifying forces clashed and tangled in the sky, ultimately stopping the red cloud forcefully, but that beam of sword light also flew back dozens of meters, revealing a figure.
Donglin Sword Master,
Gu Xiaochen!
“An uncivilized world with so many beings comprehending the mysteries of the Void, it seems your realm is not entirely without merit.” The red cloud was halted, revealing a phantom face that spoke indifferently to Gu Xiaochen: “If you are willing to shed this form and submit to our clan, you might be given a chance to live.”
Facing the blood-red demon shadow, Gu Xiaochen simply held his sword horizontally and said calmly:
“No need.”
“Hmph!”
The blood-red demon shadow coldly snorted, saying in a sinister tone: “Then you shall turn to dust along with the living beings of this realm.”
As his words fell, the rolling red cloud did not expand, but instead retracted, rapidly shrinking into a humanoid demon shadow, bearing four arms. In each arm, it held a different weapon—blade, spear, sword, halberd—all exuding waves of Demonic Might.
Swoosh!
The blood-red demon shadow charged toward Gu Xiaochen.
Despite his intimidating aura, Gu Xiaochen felt an intense heaviness inside as he faced the oncoming blood-red demon shadow. This was the most powerful opponent he had ever encountered, putting pressure on him that was no less than when he had faced Chen Mu during the Kunlun Dao discussion.
However, he was now several degrees stronger than back then. Facing this powerful Demon Clan adversary, he had the strength to resist, but this battle was set to be extremely perilous, with no retreat possible!
What a pity.
Gu Xiaochen sighed inwardly.
He had actually gained a lot of opportunities in the Great Wilderness, but hadn’t had time to fully assimilate them. Given more time, his strength could advance further, potentially reaching the Divine Under Fourth Rank, giving him more confidence in defeating this Demon Clan leader. Unfortunately, he lacked time.
Buzz!!
A beam of sword light wielded with vigor clashed with the blood-red demon shadow.
At the same time Gu Xiaochen arrived on the battlefield, from another direction, a figure in a black robe also silently appeared. His gaze swept across the battlefield, arriving almost simultaneously with Gu Xiaochen was the Leader of the Six Paths Alliance, Mo Zun.
Both had ventured into the Great Wilderness and gained insights, but returned early. When the Demon Clan attacked, they were in seclusion, but the abrupt onset of the demon disaster forced them out.
Observing the situation on the field, Mo Zun slightly furrowed his brow.
It was clear the situation for the Martial Artists of the Human Race was unfavorable. Although the barrier at North City Pass blocked many demons, keeping their numbers lower, the Grandmasters and Blood Exchange experts could hold off the Demon Clan’s army. However, the upper echelon showed a conspicuous disadvantage—the likes of Gongyang Yu, Gu Xiaochen, and others were only barely holding on.
“We must achieve a swift victory.”
Mo Zun took a deep breath, casting his gaze in Gu Xiaochen’s direction, planning to help him quickly repel a powerful demon so he could assist others.
Yet before he could act, another imposing demon shadow appeared in the cracking barrier in the distance, wrapped in a mass of demonic mist, charging toward the battlefield.
Its aura was no less intense than the gray-white demon shadow and the blood-red demon shadow, clearly another commander of the Demon Clan at the Divine Under Fourth Rank level!
Seeing this.
Mo Zun could only sigh inwardly and abandon his plan to assist Gu Xiaochen, instead turning to confront the new Demon Clan commander. Raising his right hand, a peculiar round bead appeared in his palm, and from it surged waves of intense Black Flame, causing the surrounding void to ripple dramatically.
A remarkable artifact: the ’Divine Spirit Pearl’!
This artifact was once in the possession of Yang Qingshan of the Supreme Witch God Sect, later acquired by Chen Mu. Not long ago, Chen Mu lent him this artifact to explore the path of Soul Heart refining. Although he had not yet developed a complete refining method, he could already skillfully utilize this artifact, making his strength comparable to that of Gu Xiaochen and others.
Splash!
As Mo Zun waved his right hand, the sky was suddenly filled with black flames, rushing toward the approaching demon shadow, sizzling the demonic qi and forcibly halting this demon clan commander, engaging him in battle.
In a short time, all four invading demon clan commanders were blocked, and the situation on the field reached a stalemate. Though Mo Zun and others were at a disadvantage, the gap in strength wasn’t insurmountable, allowing them to hold on.
The Demon Clan’s ninth and tenth rank Heavenly Demons, passing through the barrier, numbered only about a hundred. Though more were continually arriving, the numerous Human Race Grandmasters and Blood Exchange practitioners could stabilize the situation, even gaining slight advantages.
Swoosh.
In a corner of the battlefield, a majestic sword light flashed, piercing through an Eighth Rank Ancient Demon, instantly freezing it in place. Thousands of sword lights erupted from the demon shadow, entwining and scattering sword intent, ultimately obliterating its form completely.
“The Demon Clan is not as formidable after all…”
The one who slew this Eighth Rank Ancient Demon was a white-clothed figure holding a sword. His demeanor indifferent, he was the prodigy Zuo Qianqiu of the same generation as Chen Mu, now a Marrow-Cleansing Grandmaster with Heavenly Sword Great Success, reaching the level of a peerless Grandmaster, and only a step away from the Blood Exchange Realm.
At his level of strength, he knew much about the Demon Clan, but the current battle suggested the demons weren’t as formidable as imagined. Although many demons at North City Pass hadn’t yet invaded, on their side, the Human Race Martial Artists still had Master Xuantian, Lord of Tianhu Island, and others yet to return.
Zuo Qianqiu took another look at the direction where Gu Xiaochen and others were fiercely battling.
The pressure occasionally emanating from there made him feel somewhat heavy. However, amid this heaviness, he also held a belief. He was confident that he would soon step into the Blood Exchange Realm, and in the future, reach the Celestial Human level.
In another twenty or thirty years, he could close in on Gu Xiaochen and others, and by then, he would once again see Chen Mu’s silhouette!
On another side.
Swoosh.
Two phantoms occasionally intersected, occasionally separated, one black and one white, manifesting the mysteries of Yin Yang, ensnaring an Eighth Rank Ancient Demon in the center. After a bout of confrontation, the black-and-white light retreated, leaving the Ancient Demon frozen, slowly transforming from a semi-real, semi-ghostly state to a solid entity, solidifying into a statue, which then crumbled and turned to dust, dissipating.
The black and white light revealed themselves to be two figures, Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue.
Once cold north’s contemporary prodigies alongside Chen Mu, they were now considered the most dazzling generation of the Cold North, with most having reached the Grandmaster level. Zuo Qianqiu had already ascended to an unparalleled Grandmaster, while together they slightly surpassed him, nearly reaching the level of a newly advanced Blood Exchange expert.
“The strength of the Demon Clan is probably not just like this…”
Although they easily slew an Eighth Rank Ancient Demon together, the sisters felt no joy. Due to their close ties with Chen Mu, they knew more about the Demon Clan from him, aware that the demons were certainly not limited to this.
Currently, the situation appeared stable but was actually on the brink of collapse. Master Xuantian, Lord of Tianhu Island, and others had yet to return from the Great Wilderness. If one or two more demon experts appeared, the Martial Artists of the Human Race would quickly fall into defeat.
No.
Even if Master Xuantian and others returned, they would likely not play a decisive role.
Only Chen Mu!
Only Chen Mu is the true Sea Calming Divine Needle, the sole hope for overcoming this demon disaster.
Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying both knew Chen Mu had gone to the Great Wilderness, and they had no way to contact him. At this moment, they could only pray inwardly, hoping Chen Mu would return to Da Xuan as soon as possible.
