Chapter 529 530: Attacked from Front and Rear

Lu Kun, dressed in yellow robes, laughed and shouted, "We've really come as reinforcements! What little tricks can the Demon Race possibly use to divide our Yao Race..."

As he spoke, a powerful array light flared up before the advancing Yao Cloud, temporarily blocking it.

Lu Kun's words caught in his throat. "What is the meaning of this, Fox Demon Race? We came with good intentions to reinforce you, yet you block us at every turn!"

Yun Misha snorted coldly and replied across the distance, "The meaning? It means we don't trust you!"

WUUUUUUUUU~! At that moment, demonic wails pierced the air from the west, cutting off whatever Lu Kun was about to say in his defense.

To the west of the city wall, Demonic Qi billowed. An endless Demon Army advanced in rank after rank, with Demon Steeds clad in Demon Armor carrying similarly armored members of the Demon Race.

DONG, DONG, DONG, DONG... The beat of war drums rolled out from the Demon Army, reaching the city wall and making the surrounding Spiritual Qi tremble.

The expressions of the Fox Demon Race on the wall grew incredibly grim. The most elite Yao Cultivators of the entire Fox Demon Race had gathered here, ready to fight to the death!

If Chen Dong still had his own thoughts at this moment, he would have been utterly shaken. It wasn't just the Fox Demon Race, but also the Tiger Race, the Rhino Race, and the Demon Race—not a single combatant on the field was below the Golden Core realm. It seemed only those who had reached the Golden Core Stage were qualified to even be on this battlefield.

From this, one could see that the strength of the Human Race was far weaker than that of the Demon Race and the Yao Race.

The Demon Army halted thirty li outside the city wall. Demon Marshal Chi Xiao waited with a sinister smile, the horns and drums still sounding, as if awaiting the signal to attack!

Hearing the demonic horns and war drums of the Demon Race, Lu Kun shouted sternly, "Are you still not going to take down the Array and let us onto the wall? The Demon Race is at your gates! The Fox Demon Race can't possibly hold them off alone!"

Yun Misha cursed, "Take down your tiger's ass! This was set up precisely to stop you!"

Xi Hongkai looked down from above at the dense ranks of the Fox Race on the wall and said flatly, "Brother Lu, more words are useless. Let's begin!"

Lu Kun heaved a deep sigh. 'Alas!'

Then he shot into the air and summoned three large, yellow flags from his back. The flags grew in the wind, becoming like colossal pillars as they plunged toward the array's light.

The array's light held for only an instant before the great flags tore fissures into it. With three consecutive rumbles—BOOM, BOOM, BOOM—the flags pierced through the Array and planted themselves in the earth within.

The Array had only been set up temporarily, so naturally, it couldn't withstand Lu Kun's life-bound yao artifact. Though the Array remained, its power was diminished by more than half.

Following the rumbles, Yun Misha let out a vicious roar, "Lu Kun, you really have become a dog for the Demon Race!"

Yao fire flashed, and Yun Misha shot out of the Array alone. The massive Nine Stars lanterns lit up in succession, like a string of meteors, striking straight toward Lu Kun and the Yao Cloud army...

Hearing this commotion, the Demon Marshal Chi Xiao on the Demon Race's side gave a knowing smile and said softly, "Charge!"

In an instant, the entire Demon Army erupted, their momentum like a surging flood.

"KILL...!"

A sky-shattering roar erupted as the heavy war drums thundered like Celestial Thunder. A million soldiers of the Demon Army charged straight for the city wall.

A distance of thirty li was but a few breaths for the Demon Race. Yet in those few breaths, just as the Demon Race had covered ten li, a bone-chilling frost filled the sky. It was as if an ice age had descended, and a frigid wind swept toward the Demon Army.

Huge icicles formed on the armored Demon Steeds in the front ranks, and the Demon Race warriors atop them were frozen solid into blocks of ice.

This was the Eternal Icefield Divine Technique, cast simultaneously by ten thousand Golden Core cultivators of the Frost Fox Race.

Demon Marshal Chi Xiao looked on with contempt and said softly, "Summon the demonic artifact!"

A flaming arm was summoned into the sky. Pure, dense Demonic Qi cascaded down like a waterfall, enveloping the Demon Army. It then swept outward, crashing against the frosty air.

Bathed in the pure Demonic Qi, the bodies of the Demon Race warriors ignited with strange flames, and the frozen Demon Steeds began to thaw.

Aided by the power of the demonic artifact, the Demon Army resumed its charge, advancing another ten li.

In an instant, brilliant flashes of Celestial Thunder, Earth Fire, frigid winds, and giant vines exploded within the ranks of the Demon Army.

These were the Arrays the Fox Demon Race had prepared in advance. Casualties finally appeared in the Demon Army. None of these Arrays were below the fifth tier; to the Golden Core Stage Demon Race soldiers, they were devouring Divine Artifacts.

But Demon Marshal Chi Xiao seemed completely unconcerned by these losses, his confident, strategic smile never faltering...

Inside the city walls, Lu Kun instantly flashed forward, blocking two massive fireballs, one with each claw.

Xi Hongkai shot into the sky, positioning himself before the Yao Cloud. With a howl, the tip of the horn on his forehead projected a curtain of light—the Rhino Screen Heaven Protecting Divine Technique—and directly blocked the remaining seven fireballs.

Then, with a swing of his arm, Lu Kun flung out a giant tiger claw that seemed to rip through space itself.

Yun Misha, who had just reappeared in the path of the tiger claw, once again transformed her body into technique to evade it.

Lu Kun flashed in pursuit.

"Yun Misha, your opponent is me!"

Already resentful, Yun Misha used a Divinity Transformation, creating tens of thousands of clones. Specks of Fox Fire dyed the sky, and with a flicker, a flame ignited directly on Lu Kun's body.

ROAR! A tiger's roar erupted. Countless inscriptions burst forth from Lu Kun's body like Protective Celestial Spirits, shattering the Fox Fire on him.

Just then, the reflection of a heart-shaped Yun Misha flashed in his eyes. He giggled foolishly and swiped a claw at his own head.

But Xi Hongkai flashed over and blocked it with an arm. "Brother Lu, how did you fall for her trick? Let's team up!"

Snapping out of it, Lu Kun's face was filled with rage. "The Fox Demon Race always loves these little tricks! It's not unusual for a male yao to fall for them! I'm on guard now; I won't fall for it again. You protect the younger ones. If she breaks through and slaughters her way through them, it'll be a huge loss!"

The moment he finished speaking, the heart shape reappeared in his eyes, and he swiped a tiger claw at Xi Hongkai's Dantian.

Xi Hongkai hastily blocked with both arms and was sent flying back a hundred zhang.

"Good thing my hide is thick! If it were anyone else, that claw would have shattered their body. Let's just fight her together. I can see the younger ones are breaking through the Array, and her clones can't get past my Divine Technique!"

A look of shame on his face, Lu Kun quickly nodded. "Alright! Let's take care of this fox spirit together. When we catch her, I'm going to rip all her clothes off!"
