Chapter 1762: Chapter 1629: Fallen on the Battlefield
In a mere instant, two three-star demons were killed by Ye Fan!
This scene left the entire demon army utterly shocked, hardly able to believe their own eyes!
Ye Fan was merely at the Early Lord Realm, while the two demons he killed were equivalent to strong people at the Late-stage Lord Realm.
Although defeating opponents beyond one’s realm is not unheard of, many unparalleled geniuses can achieve it, but killing an opponent across two minor realms is virtually unprecedented.
"Under the Demon Emperor, did that young person from the Human Race actually kill our two leaders?"
A demon clan strong person was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out, stammering.
"Good!"
"Well done!"
Contrary to the demon clan, upon seeing Ye Fan instantly kill two three-star demons, the cultivators from the Jueluo Empire and the Treasure Pavilion division were invigorated, fighting with increased ferocity, forcing the demon clan strong people and Xuan Beasts around them to retreat step by step.
It must be said, high morale greatly influences a troop’s combat power. Originally, the demon clan were arrogant, viewing the human race as mere swine, absolutely incapable of being their match, thus putting them in a stronger mental and momentum position than the human cultivators.
Now, under Ye Fan’s influence, human cultivators unleashed extraordinary combat power, with each person slaying many demon clan strong people and Xuan Beasts.
However—
The disadvantage of the human race was still evident; the demon army was overwhelmingly large, and human cultivators, even when fighting multiple foes, were inevitably consigned to perish on the battlefield.
Just as the human race cheered, a long howl echoed from the distant sky.
"Woo woo woo!"
Upon hearing this long howl, the demon army seemed as though injected with adrenaline, rapidly revitalizing and desperately charging at the human cultivators.
In an instant, the shouts and cries shook the heavens, dispersing the clouds, with continuous casualties on both human and demon sides, the earth stained red.
The howl ceased, and a massive, black-haired demon strong person arrived, his gaze intimidating, making the human cultivators tremble as if being watched by a hungry wolf.
Soon, this demon strong person’s gaze fell on Ye Fan.
Hmm?
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes, fearlessly meeting the other’s stare, both of their eyes bursting with powerful War Intent.
"Hmph!"
The great demon snorted coldly, not attacking Ye Fan but instead flying toward the direction of the Treasure Pavilion’s division head Ya Yunfei.
"Die!"
The great demon shouted furiously, launching a punch, the Azure Punch Ray transformed into a serpent dragon, vividly charging at Ya Yunfei’s chest!
"Puff!"
Ya Yunfei’s chest instantly sank in, spewing blood mixed with fragments of his organs, his expression changing drastically!
"Impressive, you managed to withstand my certain-kill strike, I can give you a swift end!"
The great demon coldly laughed, menacingly approaching Ya Yunfei, his aura intensely powerful.
"The Green Flood Dragon King’s offspring?"
Ya Yunfei took a deep breath, not bothering to wipe the blood from his lips, asking in a deep voice.
"I guess you have some insight, recognizing my Azure Dragon Domain. Yes, I am the son of the Green Flood Dragon King, Qing Lin!"
Qing Lin looked at Ya Yunfei with surprise, not expecting him to deduce his identity just from the Azure Dragon Domain.
However, it didn’t matter; since he was here, he had no concern over whether his identity was exposed, as this human was doomed to die.
"Kill!"
Qing Lin shouted, unleashing the Azure Dragon Domain, pointing a finger, causing a finger hole to appear on Ya Yunfei’s brow, his gaze dispersing, falling back lifeless.
Swoosh!
After killing Ya Yunfei, Qing Lin didn’t pause, flashing to the Jueluo Empire’s Emperor Lei Xiaotian’s back!
At this moment, Lei Xiaotian was struggling to fend off the attacks from the four-star great demon, with even the Thunder Domain unable to stop the opponent’s aggressive onslaught.
Without Ya Yunfei’s help, even if he fought with all his might, burning his Holy Embryo and Divine Soul was to no avail, being forced back step by step.
"Ah..."
Ye Fan roared toward the sky, emanating intense killing intent, with no living demon or Xuan Beast within three feet around him.
He also saw Lei Xiaotian in peril, surrounded by two four-star great demons, confronting imminent danger.
However—
The surrounding demons and Xuan Beasts were numerous, while the peak level Xuan Beasts in the Divine Power Realm were not his match, their defenses were astonishing, even he couldn’t instantly kill them all.
The reason he could instantly kill two three-star demons earlier was mainly due to tapping the Earth Vein Dragon Qi, exponentially increasing his combat power and catching them by surprise.
This situation couldn’t be replicated, as other demon strong people or Xuan Beasts wouldn’t give him such an opportunity to instantly kill them.
Ye Fan was anxious, his eyes splitting, and after repeated battles, his Divine Power was severely depleted, even with the replenishment of Earth Vein Dragon Qi, he couldn’t break through the demon army’s siege quickly enough to aid Lei Xiaotian.
Sensing the powerful aura behind him, Lei Xiaotian knew he was likely doomed, having underestimated the demon clan’s strength, while the Jueluo Empire’s legacy hadn’t been fully deployed.
In an instant, he made a quick decision, gritting his teeth, deciding to inflict heavy damage on the two four-star great demons through self-destruction, determined not to be killed in humiliation.
"I, the old man, will fight you to the death!"
Lei Xiaotian shouted loudly, his body instantly swelling, a terrifying aura spreading around him.
He had witnessed how Ya Yunfei died and knew that if the two four-star Great Demons joined forces, he wouldn’t stand a chance, so he decisively detonated his Holy Embryo.
The power of a Late-stage Lord Realm strong person’s self-detonation of the Holy Embryo is terrifying; even a Great Demon like Qing Lin, whose veins flow with Imperial Family bloodline, wouldn’t dare to take risks easily.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The two Great Demons decisively retreated, simultaneously sweeping away nearby Demon Clan strong people and Xuan Beasts, and then they worked together to set up a defense to withstand the violent energy produced by Lei Xiaotian’s self-detonation.
"Boom!!"
As Lei Xiaotian self-detonated his Holy Embryo, he instantly exploded into ashes, leaving not a blade of grass standing in the vicinity; the place where he stood became a bottomless pit.
Even the defense set up jointly by the two four-star Great Demons couldn’t stop the violent energy; dozens of Demon Clan strong people were shredded by the violent energy, dying a tragic death.
"The Human Race is indeed fierce, taking my Demon Clan warriors with them in death!"
Qing Lin’s face was livid; if he had acted sooner, perhaps such consequences wouldn’t have occurred.
"Emperor..."
The strong people of the Jueluo Empire, seeing their Emperor self-detonate the Holy Embryo, dying a tragic death, wailed in grief, their actions even more ruthless and merciless.
"Avenge the Emperor!"
"The Human Race will never surrender!"
"Fight for the dignity of the Human Race!"
The death of Ya Yunfei and Lei Xiaotian deeply stimulated the remaining Human cultivators, each throwing themselves desperately at the Demon Clan army, even if it meant dying on the battlefield.
"No..."
Ye Fan painfully closed his eyes. Although he was accustomed to slaughter and death, watching familiar figures fall one by one in front of him, he felt powerless, a feeling that drove him to madness.
"Pfft!"
At this moment, Tong Tianhao encountered a life-and-death crisis, being sneak-attacked by a Peak of Divine Power Realm Divine Crocodile. He was whipped and sent flying, his entire body with bones crushed, spewing a mixture of blood and organs, clearly beyond saving.
"How dare you!"
Ye Fan gathered his strength, performed the Chasing Star Step, Eight Steps to Catch a Cicada, breaking through spatial constraints, and caught Tong Tianhao in his arms, his right hand pressed on his Dantian, desperately transferring Pure Yang Qi.
Tong Tianhao was Tong Qianchen’s father, and he absolutely could not die. If he fell in battle, how could Ye Fan face Tong Qianchen?
However—
After Ye Fan infused Tong Tianhao’s body with Pure Yang Qi, his heart sank halfway.
Because Tong Tianhao’s Dantian was shattered, his Holy Embryo was broken, and his internal organs turned into a mushy mess; even an Immortal couldn’t save him now.
"Cough cough..."
Stimulated by Ye Fan’s Pure Yang Qi, Tong Tianhao regained consciousness, his face oddly rosy, coughing out some shattered internal organs. As his breath became smoother, he shook his head, saying, "Xiao Fan, don’t waste Divine Power on me; I’m done for!"
"No, Sect Leader, you won’t die!"
Ye Fan’s heart was like a knife twisting; he knew Tong Tianhao was speaking the truth. Now Tong Tianhao was merely experiencing a temporary resurgence before death and wouldn’t hold on much longer.
Tong Tianhao slowly shook his head, saying, "I know my condition very well, and current conditions don’t allow for it. I’m about to die, but before I go, there’s one thing I need to entrust to you."
"Please tell me!"
Ye Fan choked up, wishing he could immediately enhance his combat power to reach the Lord Realm Peak, and annihilate these invading Demon Clan armies in this place to avenge Tong Tianhao, avenge his master Wu Xinhai, and for the sake of countless dead Human Race members.
"After I die, please take care of Xiao Qian. If you could do that for me, I could die in peace!"
Saying this, Tong Tianhao faced a bout of violent coughing, then, struggling to speak, continued: "Xiao Fan, can’t you call me Uncle?"
"Uncle..."
Ye Fan’s voice trembled. He understood Tong Tianhao’s meaning; the responsibility was enormous. But at this moment, seeing Tong Tianhao on the verge of death, he couldn’t bear for him to die with regret.
"Xiao... Xiao Fan, Xiao Qian... please..."
Hearing the word Uncle, Tong Tianhao smiled in comfort, then tilted his head and passed away.
"Uncle, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Xiao Qian!"
Ye Fan looked at Tong Tianhao, who died with his eyes open, and said chokingly. Then, with a palm, he struck a large pit in the ground, placed Tong Tianhao’s body in it, and, clasping his hands together, moved a huge stone over to cover it.
"Ah...!"
After burying Tong Tianhao, Ye Fan was driven mad with hatred, wishing to charge into the Demon Clan army for a massacre.
However—reason told him, in the current imposing situation of the Demon Clan, he couldn’t fight them head-on; otherwise, he might die here too. The two four-star Great Demons definitely wouldn’t spare him.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan had to suppress his burning anger, gritting his teeth and leaving.
He knew the remaining Human cultivators couldn’t possibly stop the Demon Clan army’s advance. What he needed to do now was survive and spread the news of the Demon Clan’s invasion, asking for reinforcements!
