Chapter 530 531: The 1 vs. 2 Grand Elder

"Brother Lu, you keep falling for her tricks because you're obsessed with worldly pleasures. Not like me, Old Rhino. My heart is free of desire, so I have nothing to fear from her Charm Technique!"

Lu Kun sniffed the air and frowned. "What's that smell? Something's burning!" His eyes focused, and he quickly yelled, "Brother Xi, the armor on your ass is on fire!"

Xi Hongkai activated his Heaven-Protecting Rhino Screen Divine Technique again, extinguishing the flames on his rear. However, a chunk of his rhino armor was now missing, making for a comical sight.

"Damn fox spirit! I, Old Rhino, swear I'll use my horn to carve a new hole in her ass!"

A cold snort from Yun Misha echoed from the sky. "We'll see who's carving a hole in whom. And you said I couldn't break through your Divine Technique? You think far too highly of yourself!"

With a sudden CRACK!, the sky full of fox phantoms shattered the Heaven-Protecting Rhino Screen's light barrier over the Demon Cloud as if it were brittle glass.

In an instant, blood rained down upon the Demon Cloud. Swathes of demons who had been attacking the remnants of the Array were killed on the spot. Even the Demon Pills within their bodies were crushed in that same moment, leaving no chance for rebirth.

Yun Misha ignored the higher-level Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators and the defense-oriented Rhino Race, instead launching a swift slaughter against the Golden Core Stage Tiger Demon Race.

Lu Kun watched, his eyes wide with fury. 'Those are my people!'

AWOOOO! A world-shaking roar erupted as he unleashed his Soul-Shaking Tiger's Roar Divine Technique. The fearsome roar covered a hundred-mile radius, and under its force, tens of thousands of Yun Misha's clones dissipated one by one.

Xi Hongkai stared, stunned. "You... you... If you had a Divine Technique like this, why didn't you use it sooner?!"

Lu Kun's eyes were filled with murderous intent. 'At first, I was just playing around. After all, the Demon Race only needed us to tie up some of the Fox Demon Race's forces. We'd only get extra resources if we managed to destroy the city wall's Array. With Yun Miqiu and her Frost Dream Realm Divine Technique, I never even considered breaking through the wall. But now... now I want to kill Yun Misha myself.'

Seeing Lu Kun's explosive rage, Xi Hongkai said no more and grew serious. He first cast his Heaven-Protecting Rhino Screen Divine Technique again to protect the Demon Race on the Demon Cloud.

After all, it was a complete disgrace for two Divinity Transformation Stage experts to be pushed this hard by a single opponent. If word got out, the other Demon Races would laugh themselves sick.

Then, the horn on his head began to glow once more. A colossal white rhino phantom materialized in the sky as he activated the Silencing World-Destroying Horn—the Rhino Race's most powerful offensive Innate Divine Technique.

Like a single speck of annihilating dust, the star-bright tip of the horn shot toward the already crumbling Array.

With a crisp SHATTER!, the Array's light was extinguished.

"You two traitors to the Demon Race!"

With a cold cry, the Nine-Star Fox Fire ignited once more. A fire to bring chaos, a fire to incinerate the divine. Three stars of flame encircled Lu Kun, three encircled Xi Hongkai, and three shot toward the Demon Cloud.

The nine flames detonated. BOOM! With a tremendous explosion, Lu Kun's yellow robes were left in tatters, Xi Hongkai's rhino armor was shattered, and the Heaven-Protecting Rhino Screen Divine Technique over the Demon Cloud was broken once again.

Immediately, the waiting Fox Demon Race charged toward the Demon Cloud, their light trails streaking across the sky like a meteor shower. The two factions of the Demon Race began a vicious melee.

Xi Hongkai, who had been about to recast his Heaven-Protecting Rhino Screen Divine Technique, was instantly tied down by Yun Misha. Her ferocious assault immediately put him on the back foot.

Seeing this, Lu Kun had no choice but to join the fight and help Xi Hongkai. If Xi Hongkai were to be defeated, Lu Kun's only option would be to order a full retreat.

"Never mind me! I can hold her off! Go kill those lesser fox demons! Distract her! Force Yun Miqiu to make a move!" Xi Hongkai shouted, looking hard-pressed.

At his words, Lu Kun's figure flashed, and he dove into the chaotic fray of demons below. For a Divinity Transformation Stage expert, slaughtering those at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages was child's play.

The members of the Fox Demon Race below instantly fell into a panic.

Then, another Yun Misha appeared before him.

Lu Kun's brow furrowed. 'An out-of-body incarnation? No, it's a spirit division. Yun Misha's comprehension of the soul is incredibly profound. This clone probably has eighty percent of her main body's power.'

Lu Kun and Xi Hongkai found themselves in a difficult position. Yun Misha's strength far exceeded their expectations; not only could she fight two-on-one, but a spirit clone she had manifested with full effort was enough to hold one of them at bay.

"Did you really think I spent the last thousand years training for nothing?!" the two Yun Mishas declared in unison, each unleashing different techniques as they entangled Lu Kun and Xi Hongkai.

It suddenly dawned on them. Yun Misha had reached the Divinity Transformation Stage a thousand years ago. Despite being a Fire Fox, a mutation of the Frost Fox Race unable to cultivate their ultimate Divine Technique—the Frost Dream Realm—she had always held the firm position of Grand Elder of the Fox Demon Race. Her true strength was simply unfathomable.

What they didn't know, however, was that Yun Misha was still holding back. She remembered Yun Miqiu's words: if the battle was lost, she had to take Yun Mengshang and flee. To have any hope of escaping from Demon Marshal Chi Xiao, she had no choice but to conserve her strength.

Meanwhile, Yun Miqiu could not intervene; she had to keep her attention focused on the Demon Race. Therefore, Yun Misha's only goal was to stall, to tie down these two Divinity Transformation Stage experts for as long as possible.

Outside the city walls, the Demon Army, despite losing tens of thousands of soldiers, had finally broken through the dense field of Arrays. They were now within ten miles of the wall.

Demon Marshal Chi Xiao watched on, his expression as cold and arrogant as ever, Demonic Qi gathering and dissipating in his palm. He was waiting. Waiting for Yun Miqiu's Frost Dream Realm. As long as he helped the Demon Army resist that technique, the Demon Race's overwhelming numbers would be enough to smash through the Wall of Demon Building and invade the Northern Territory.

The Demon Army drew closer and closer to the Wall of Demon Building. Nine miles, eight miles, seven miles... The various Divine Techniques unleashed by the Fox Demon Race, even empowered by magical artifacts, were drastically less effective against the Demon Army. They were inflicting far fewer casualties at this range than they had in the main Array zone.

Four miles, three miles... one mile... The Demon Army was at the foot of the wall, their momentum unstoppable, their killing intent surging to the heavens.

The booms of demonic war drums and the blare of horns thundered across the field.

"Kill! Kill!"

Demonic Qi began to wash over the iridescent light of the wall. Just then, frost began to bloom in the sky, bleaching the world in a deathly pallor. It spread across the heavens and the earth, reaching out to cover the entire Demon Race's army...

Demon Marshal Chi Xiao, seated upon his Demon Steed, smiled faintly. "Finally... it's here!"
