Chapter 1761: Chapter 1628: Rejoining the Battle
At the same time Lei Xiaotian issued the order, a burly man not far from them, wielding a large axe and with red eyes, charged into the Xuan Beast horde under the sky-high Blood Qi.
"Humans will never be enslaved!!"
The next moment, he roared as he rushed into the Xuan Beast horde, his voice echoing through the Nine Heavens.
Although he was not a cultivator, his heart was filled with fierce righteousness, and he shouted the spirit of the Human Race, causing the heavens and earth to change color.
This resounding voice lingered for a long time, reaching the ears of reinforcements from the Jueluo Empire and the Treasure Pavilion, stirring the blood of many cultivators.
If an ordinary person could possess such indomitable spirit and fighting will, didn’t they have it too?
Lei Xiaotian arranged for people to protect Ye Fan, feeding him a Healing Holy Pill. Lei Xiaotian and Ya Yunfei, the person in charge of the Treasure Pavilion in Xuanwu City, discussed for a moment and decided to deal a head-on blow to the Demon Clan army to curb their arrogance.
This time, both the Jueluo Empire and the Treasure Pavilion brought many powerful cultivators; they initially came to reinforce the Xuanwu Sect, but in just over an hour, thousands of disciples and elders of the Xuanwu Sect were wiped out, shocking them and intensifying their anger toward the Demon Clan’s invasion.
Especially the fact that the Demon Clan army slaughtered unarmed ordinary people without any Cultivation only heightened their rage and hatred!
Even as cultivators, who doesn’t have parents or siblings? Who doesn’t have loved ones?
And not all cultivators have relatives who understand cultivation; ordinary people still constitute the majority.
This inhumane Demon Clan army didn’t even spare ordinary people, igniting a strong intent to kill among them?
"Slay these heartless beasts, avenge the brothers of the Xuanwu Sect, and the fallen ordinary people!"
Lei Xiaotian waved his hand and personally led a team of cultivators straight for the Demon Clan army.
"For the honor and future of the Human Race, fight!"
Ya Yunfei, who was in charge of the Treasure Pavilion’s Xuanwu City branch, shouted loudly and was the first to charge into the Demon Clan army.
Even knowing that there was a Four-star level Great Demon in the Demon Clan army, they were not afraid at all; this was a war between the Human Race and Demon Clan and there was no room for retreat, or else the suffering would fall on the ordinary people.
"Kill!"
For a moment, battle cries filled the air, and the cultivators of the Treasure Pavilion branch and the Jueluo Empire were locked in a fierce and indiscernible struggle with the Demon Clan army, with Human cultivators and Demon Clan strong people falling continuously.
As the battle reignited, Ye Fan awakened, and with the help of the Healing Holy Pill, his condition stabilized.
He was not injured initially; it was merely the exhaustion of Divine Power and Divine Soul, coupled with primordial damage and high mental tension, that led to his collapse once relaxed.
Once aware, Ye Fan directly entered the Virtual Space to restore Divine Power and Primordial, utilizing the time difference between Virtual Space and reality to quickly regain Combat Power.
He was well aware that despite the strength of the Jueluo Empire and Treasure Pavilion branch’s cultivators, facing the imposing and formidable Demon Clan, there were still not many chances of victory, at most only delaying the Demon Clan army’s advance.
Lei Xiaotian and Ya Yunfei were invincible, with many Demon Clan strong people and Xuan Beasts not even a match for them, being easily defeated.
Until the two encountered the Four-star level Great Demon that had been chasing Ye Fan, their offensive was curbed, and they fell into a bitter battle.
Although both Lei Xiaotian and Ya Yunfei were Late-stage Lord Realm strong people, in front of the Lord Realm Peak Four-star level Great Demon, they could only protect themselves, defeating it was out of the question.
And this Four-star level Great Demon was also halted, unable to break free to kill Ye Fan, only entering a stalemate and confrontation with the two.
A life-and-death battle unfolded between the Demon Clan army and the Human cultivators, with fighting everywhere from sky to earth, Sword Qi intertwining, Punch Ray tearing through the void, swathes of forests reduced to ashes, and the valley nearly turned into a desert.
Facing the tidal wave of the Demon Clan army, the Alliance Army of the Treasure Pavilion and the Jueluo Empire was also embroiled in a tough battle, often slaying two or three Xuan Beasts only for Human cultivators to be ambushed and killed by Xuan Beasts or the Demon Clan.
It can be said that every step forward the Demon Clan army made came at the cost of blood and life, although the Human cultivators were few, they fought exceptionally tenaciously.
"Kill!"
Lei Xiaotian shouted violently, the Thunder Domain expanded, with thunder chains everywhere and the purple electric light slaying the Four-star level Great Demon in front.
Ya Yunfei also displayed the Hurricane Domain, the Domains of the two clashing fiercely with the Four-star level Great Demon’s Domain, each collision turning the surroundings into a storm of energy, causing unknown harm to how many Xuan Beasts and Human cultivators.
Gradually, their surroundings became a vacuum, and neither Xuan Beast, Demon Clan strong people, nor Human cultivators dared to approach, fearing being caught in the aftermath of the three-person battle, suffering calamity without reason.
After thirty minutes, Ye Fan stepped out from the Virtual Space.
Sect Leader Tong Tianhao of the Xuanwu Sect followed closely behind Ye Fan.
In the Virtual Space, Tong Tianhao’s strength had fully recovered to its Peak state and demanded to continue to fight, to avenge the fallen of the Xuanwu Sect.
Despite Ye Fan finding it very dangerous, he could understand Tong Tianhao—being the Sect Leader, with the Sect nearly annihilated and all disciples fallen in battle, how could he survive in disgrace?
Not only Tong Tianhao, but Tong Qianchen also wanted to continue fighting, but was firmly refused by Tong Tianhao and Ye Fan, neither wanting her to take risks.
This invasion by the Demon Clan was formidable, who knew if even stronger Great Demons would continue to come?
But Tong Qianchen insisted on joining the battle, as she said, since the entire Xuanwu Sect perished, she cannot live alone, she must do her utmost to avenge the fallen brothers and sisters of the Xuanwu Sect.
In desperation, Ye Fan feigned agreement, and while Tong Qianchen was unprepared, he struck her unconscious, leaving her in the Virtual Space.
"Blood must be paid with blood, die!!"
Seeing the Demon Clan army, Tong Tianhao’s eyes instantly turned red, and with a roar, he unleashed his treasure sword and charged into the Demon Clan army.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
One slash, one life taken, punches merciless, Tong Tianhao seemed like a Killing God, his body enveloped in a strong evil aura, slaying the Demon Clan army as if they were mere vegetables.
However—
Compared to the vast number of the Demon Clan army, his intrusion was but a small pebble in the ocean, momentarily creating ripples, only to be swiftly swallowed by the Demon Clan army.
In the sky, on the ground, battles were everywhere, many Human cultivators fought to their last drop of blood, dragging their opponents to death with them.
This fearless resolve shocked the Demon Clan army, making every step forward cost them greatly.
"Poof!"
A mystic light pierced through the back of a Human cultivator’s head, without making a sound, he plummeted from the sky, smashing into pieces.
Soon after, another Killing Light appeared, yet another Human cultivator perished, as if the Death God’s scythe was harvesting their lives.
"You court death!"
Ye Fan quickly found the source of the Killing Light, coming from two Three-star Demons who had once besieged him.
The two demons stood at different positions, repeatedly ambushing Human cultivators locked in intense combat, in a brief moment, hundreds of elite Human cultivators were killed by them.
Ye Fan unleashed the Eight Phase World Domain, raising a mighty Earth Dragon Vein, swinging it like a True Dragon to smash down on them.
"Boom!"
Earth and stone shattered, the ground cracked, countless Xuan Beasts were caught in the impact, crushed into a pulp by Ye Fan, while the two demons were sent flying by his blow.
Ye Fan emitted boundless Golden Light, like a golden sun, radiating millions of rays, dazzling to the point where eyes could not remain open.
He had just recovered most of his combat power, far from his peak, facing one Three-star Demon was manageable, but to confront two at once left him with no chance of victory.
Yet no matter what, he had to draw the attention of these two, otherwise, if left to ambush freely, Human cultivator elites would be sniped down.
To alleviate others’ pressure, Ye Fan took on the responsibility; even knowing he was no match, he had to block these two Three-star Demons’ attack.
Ye Fan’s reappearance alarmed many Demon Clan strong people and Xuan Beasts.
Those Xuan Beasts retreated swiftly, their sense of danger keen, realizing such a battle was beyond their involvement.
"Damn!"
The two Three-star Demons felt humiliated, after all, they were Three-star Demons, equivalent to Late-stage Lord Realm in the Human race, yet this young Human at Early Lord Realm dared to take them on simultaneously, it was unbearable.
"You are special, but today you must die!"
The two Three-star Demons launched an attack on Ye Fan, Punch Rays tearing through space, ruthlessly hitting the Eight Phase World Domain.
"Buzz!"
The Eight Runes flickered simultaneously, spinning rapidly, arduously dispersing the two demons’ Punch Rays, while Ye Fan was massively shaken, almost blown away.
"Bang!"
Ye Fan staggered back several steps, knocking away a few Xuan Beasts before stabilizing, then took a deep breath to suppress his chaotic Blood Qi.
"Chh!"
Ye Fan’s eyes shot out two Dragon-shaped Divine Light rays, then stomped hard, invoking the Earth Vein Dragon Qi, his combat power surged sharply, stabilizing the Eight Phase World Domain.
At this moment, in Ye Fan’s eyes, aside from the glaring light from the Thunder Element Rune, the Earth Element Rune also began to light up.
In this instant, Ye Fan had a realization, Earth Vein Dragon Qi originating from the earth naturally possessed the essence and Law of the Earth Element.
"To want me dead, it’s not that easy!"
With a loud roar, Ye Fan moved, executing the Chasing Star Step to the extreme, flickering with each step, instantly appearing above a Three-star Demon, shrinking the Eight Phase World Domain, covering his body, punching toward the acupoint on the top of the demon’s head.
This punch, Ye Fan used all his Divine Power, nearly compressing it into a solid state, the blazing Punch Ray tearing through the void, emitting a piercing friction sound.
"Ah..."
The Three-star Demon screamed, unable to react in time, his head blasted apart by Ye Fan, the Punch Ray persisting, ravaging his body.
"No..."
The other Three-star Demon rushed desperately, from afar slashing a Hand Blade at Ye Fan’s back, terrifying aura surging.
Whoosh!
Ye Fan blinked out of existence at his original spot, suddenly appearing before that Three-star Demon, unleashing the Xuandi Fist, bypassing defenses, it pierced a huge hole in his chest.
"Poof!"
The Three-star Demon froze instantly, eyes filled with shock, despair, disbelief, then exploded with a bang, blood mixed with flesh splattering like rain.
This scene shocked the entire Demon Clan army!
