Chapter 901: On the Brink of War

Ye Fan immediately led his army to the Demon Domain.

Why does Ye Fan find the Demon Domain so troublesome!

Because it is the place where the Sword Sect confronts the seven families of the Demon Clan, and although it is the smallest checkpoint among the three major fortresses, Ye Fan has to face the seven families of the Demon Clan.

Because these seven Demon Clans are not weak and are ranked among the top of the seventy-two Demon Clans.

If he really had to choose, he would rather guard the Two Realms Mountain than protect the Demon Domain, because the Demon Domain is a perilous place.

It is also the most dangerous place on the Martial Arts Continent. Back then, the Sword Sect fought a great battle here with the Demon Clan. Over a million troops from both sides died here inexplicably.

For this reason, this place also became a forbidden area.

Ye Fan set out with his army.

In the Sword God Temple at this time, the Sword Saint said, “After all, he is our beloved disciple. Is it not a bit disingenuous of us to put him in such a pit?”

The Sword Saint was a straightforward person, so at this time, he still spoke the truth.

The Sword Immortal and the Sword Emperor looked at the Sword Saint with disdain. Why act noble now? When Ye Fan was here, why not straightforwardly tell him it was a trap.

Apparently, the Sword Saint did not tell him.

At this moment, the Sword Ancestor smiled and said, “Junior Brother, you are going too far. This is his ultimate test from us, and as long as he can pass it, he can take our place.”

“Besides, I have a vague premonition!”

“What premonition?”

The three looked at the Sword Ancestor curiously.

The Sword Ancestor said:

“My premonition is that he can bring us a surprise. Perhaps, the forbidden area may be transformed by him into a defensive fortress for the Sword Sect!”

“Mostly impossible!”

The four were astonished, not believing the Sword Ancestor at all.

The Sword Ancestor also expressed helplessness over this.

At this time, the Sword Ancestor said, “Then let’s make a bet. I believe he can create a miracle!”

“No bet!”

The three showed no interest.

The Sword Ancestor was even more helpless.

At this time, Zhou Zhimei arrived.

“Four foster fathers!”

Zhou Zhimei immediately spoke.

The Sword Ancestor asked, “What are you here for? You are still in retreat, don’t run around, or our efforts will be in vain.”

The four realized that Zhou Zhimei was also a very potential Martial Artist. Taking her as a goddaughter was not in vain, even though her potential wasn’t as overwhelming as Ye Fan’s.

But they believed they could train Zhou Zhimei to surpass the strength of the various Sect Masters.

At this time, Zhou Zhimei said, “I heard my husband took the army to the Demon Domain!”

“That’s right, this is the ultimate test we gave him!”

The Sword Emperor said.

“I want to go too!”

Zhou Zhimei immediately said, “Four foster fathers, I believe this is also a test for me. I request the four of you let me go and experience it too!”

In front of the four Sword Dao experts, Zhou Zhimei was not as capricious as she was in the Infinite Sword Sect. She always consulted the four before making any decisions.

At this point, the Sword Saint said, “Your strength is too weak. It will be very dangerous to train there. Wait until you break through to the first grade!”

But Zhou Zhimei said, “Four foster fathers, I am not afraid of death. If I don’t even have this bit of courage, then my Martial Arts path is completely wasted.”

Zhou Zhimei is similar to Ye Fan in this aspect. Though she is a woman, she is a brave and fearless one.

The four thought for a while. At this time, the Sword Immortal said, “Summon Wuxin and Evil Qing!”

Instantly, two Sword Masters arrived.

They were the only two women among the thirty-six Sword Masters.

The two immediately bowed to the four Sword Dao experts.

At this time, the Sword Emperor said, “Zhimei wants to train, so you two accompany her! Remember, do not let her cause any trouble!”

“Yes!”

The two Sword Masters immediately replied.

Zhou Zhimei was also frustrated. Although she usually liked to do little tricks, the four foster fathers couldn’t be so distrustful of her!

Where is the trust between people?

Then, Zhou Zhimei and the two Sword Masters set out.

For the four Sword Dao experts, they were not idle at all, because at this time, they were the busiest.

They had to guard against the seven Demon Lords of the demon clan while speeding up innovation. Once the innovation was finalized, they could free their hands to deal with the Demon Clan fully.

…

Ye Fan divided the five hundred thousand troops among ten Sword Masters. The Sword Masters were very respectful to Ye Fan, as he was already the new generation Sword God.

In the future, they would be worthy successors of the four Sword Dao Experts, standing before Ye Fan, they dared not act rashly despite their powerful cultivation.

Ye Fan was very satisfied.

Each squad consisted of fifty thousand soldiers, making a total of ten squads. These days, he had been studying the Demon Domain.

It was only then he discovered the terrain and peculiarities of the Demon Domain.

The Demon Domain is a central point; if the armies from both sides want to engage, they must pass through the outer perimeter of the Demon Domain. Even the outer areas are terrifying in such a forbidden land.

Five days later, the five hundred thousand troops arrived at the stronghold on the outskirts of the Demon Domain.

The stronghold had been abandoned for a long time, covered in dust and scattered ruins everywhere.

Ye Fan immediately ordered everyone to start repairing the stronghold. Only after the repair was complete did he nod in relief.

Looking at the Demon Domain shrouded in ominous clouds outside, Ye Fan sensed a lurking danger. They were less than a hundred miles from the stronghold of the seven Demon Clans.

The opposing side wasn’t in a hurry to attack, clearly apprehensive of the Demon Domain as well. They must wait for the clouds to disperse before daring to launch an assault.

Only three two hours a day did the clouds disperse.

These three two hours were extremely dangerous for Ye Fan, as the Demon Clan army had a total of one and a half million within.

While their troops amounted to only one-third of that, despite being easy to defend and hard to attack here, Ye Fan knew that without the Demon Domain’s influence,

if he were to mount an offensive, he would only need twice the force to breach this place.

At this point, Ye Fan summoned a Sword Master.

This Sword Master was named Honghu Sword Master.

Ye Fan asked, “Honghu Sword Master, is there any movement from the Demon Clan?”

Honghu Sword Master replied, “Commander, there’s no movement from that side yet, but they seem to be prepared. They might attack once the demon cloud dissipates!”

Ye Fan nodded.

Indeed, the next day, at noon, the demon cloud dispersed, and the seven Demon Clans led their army to attack!

In the skies, numerous Demon Dragons flew in orderly formations, carrying Demon Clan archers on their backs.

On the ground, endless demon beasts ridden by the Demon Clan troops charged at high speed.

This time, the Demon Clan dispatched an army of five hundred thousand.

This shocked Ye Fan greatly.

Ye Fan immediately ordered seven squads to resist the Demon Clan forces on the ground, while three squads launched aerial attacks to fend off the Demon Clan army.

Standing on the city wall, Ye Fan watched as the aerial battle commenced. The Demon Clan air force immediately drew their bows, launching a dark wave of arrows.

“Activate the defensive array!”

With Ye Fan’s shout, the defensive array activated, blocking out the oppressive wave of arrows. Meanwhile, the sword-guarding army atop the highest point of the city wall, comprising three squads, began their assault.

Momentarily blocking the Demon Clan air force, bodies rained from the sky like a grotesque storm, creating a chilling scene.

Ye Fan shouted to the Martial Artist army below to fend off the Demon Clan forces on the ground.

These demon beasts possessed formidable life force, launching fierce assaults against the Sword Sect’s formation.

Ye Fan realized this approach was futile; the Demon Clan army was aggressively advancing, bolstered by the highly impactful demon beasts.

It was indeed terrifying.

Therefore, Ye Fan immediately commanded, “Form the Sword Array!” The Sword Array was consolidated by a squad, followed by countless Flying Swords descending upon the demon beasts, inevitably penetrating and killing the Demon Clan warriors and beasts alike.

Ye Fan knew the Sword Array couldn’t last long, but it had to hold until the most forceful wave was repelled.

Just then, in the sky, a gigantic hand descended oppressively, obscuring the heavens.

Ye Fan immediately struck out, slicing the giant hand with one swift sword move.

“Black Demon Clan Chief!”

Ye Fan shouted.

He hadn’t expected the Black Demon Clan Chief to come personally, indicating that the Demon Clan army was under his command.

For this reason, Ye Fan soared into Yun Xiao, delivering a sword strike that caused the Demon Clan air force to fall in clusters, unable to resist Ye Fan’s commanding move.

The Black Demon Clan Chief charged forward.

He too hadn’t expected the controller of this Sword Dao army to be Ye Fan.

Was it too inexperienced to entrust the command of this army to Ye Fan?

Then he spoke coldly to Ye Fan, “So it’s you!”

“I didn’t expect it to be you either!”

Ye Fan replied disdainfully.

The Black Demon Clan Chief sneered, “Last time you escaped, but this time, you won’t be so lucky.”

“Last time there was no fight, but this time, I want to see if you can still be as arrogant as before?”

Ye Fan replied coldly.

The great battle was about to erupt.

This time, his opponent would be a nemesis; Ye Fan would directly confront the formidable Black Demon Clan Chief, promising a breathtaking showdown.
