Free Web NovelChapter 1763: Chapter 1630: Repelling the Demon Clan
The reinforcements from the Jueluo Empire and the division of the Treasure Pavilion were completely wiped out, fighting to the last man, none captured alive, all perished in battle.
Although they also dealt a blow to the invading Demon Clan army, hindering their advance, it was ultimately like a drop in the ocean, to no avail.
"The Human Race will never surrender!"
The last human cultivator to die shouted in a resolute and unyielding voice when faced with the Demon Clan’s temptation to spare his life.
He chose to self-detonate his Holy Embryo, sacrificing himself with broken bones, and his Divine Soul perished to drag several demons to death with him.
This tragic scene was witnessed by no one, but his spirit remains immortal forever. It is the backbone of the Human Race, representing integrity and courage.
After this small interlude, the Demon Clan continued their advance, almost sweeping across the entire Xuanwu State, countless unarmed, non-cultivating ordinary people perished in the mouths of Xuan Beasts.
For human cultivators, the flesh and blood of Xuan Beasts were a great supplement, enhancing their cultivation, and for Xuan Beasts, the flesh and blood of humans held the same benefit.
Thus, many ordinary people, lacking the ability to resist, were swallowed alive by Xuan Beasts, a scene too tragic to bear.
Human settlements turned into ruins, the once prosperous Xuanwu State became a desolate land in a short time.
Not only humans, even some ordinary beasts couldn’t escape their slaughter, where the Xuan Beast army passed, the ground was littered with bones and rivers of blood, and wolf smoke rose all around.
"You heartless beasts, heaven will not let you go, you will get your retribution!"
In a town of tens of thousands of people, the Demon Clan army flattened a small sect, a young cultivator of the True Essence Realm cursed at the crumbling sect.
"Heaven? Heaven has no will, even if it does, it will only stand on the outside!" A strong member of the Demon Clan snorted coldly, nailing the young man to the wall with a single spear thrust.
"Don’t waste it, we’ve been eating ordinary people without any cultivation for too long, their flesh and blood contain pitifully little life essence energy. Now that we’ve encountered a cultivator, we can’t just let it go like this!"
A fierce tiger more than seven zhang long walked over, shook its head and tail, opened its mouth, and sucked the young man into it, chewing him, fresh blood dripping down its mouth.
"Look at your pathetic self, there are still many cultivators among the Human Race, once we conquer a large city, there’ll be plenty of cultivator flesh and blood for you to eat your fill."
The Demon Clan strongman pulled out the spear, casting a deep disdainful glance at the tiger Xuan Beast.
This tiger Xuan Beast was already at the Peak of the Holy Embryo Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the Divine Power Realm, but in front of the Demon Clan strongman, it behaved like a docile kitten.
Other Xuan Beasts could only secretly swallow their drool. For them, the flesh and blood of cultivators were far better than ordinary people’s flesh, but none dared to snatch food from the tigress’s mouth.
After the Demon Clan army passed, this town of tens of thousands was reduced to ruins, from elders to babbling infants, not a single person survived.
The entire town was filled with corpses and bones, fragmented flesh and flowing blood and viscera everywhere, the stench of blood filled the air.
Due to the hot weather, just one day later, the flesh began to rot, flies were rampant, corpse water flowed, and this originally bustling and prosperous town turned into a ghost demon overnight.
All of this was caused by the Demon Clan army, and this town was but a glimpse of the human settlement they passed through.
Tens of thousands of Demon Clan troops filled the sky and earth, their figures were everywhere, leaving no chicken or dog in their wake, leaving no blade of grass, Xuanwu State was experiencing the greatest catastrophe in its history.
When there were no cultivators to block their way, the Demon Clan army advanced very quickly, reaching the gates of Xuanwu City within a few days.
City Lord Lei Bikuan was already aware of Emperor Lei Xiaotian’s death in battle, and upon learning the Demon Clan army was advancing, he made preparations.
At this moment, all four gates of Xuanwu City were tightly shut, the tall city walls filled with cultivators, protecting Xuanwu City like an iron barrel.
After the first round of charges, the Demon Clan army left behind thousands of corpses and retreated in defeat, unable to breach the defenses.
The two Four-star Great Demons were in no hurry, ordering the Demon Clan army to encircle the city on three sides, then moved thousands of elite troops into the forest outside the south gate, preparing to annihilate the defending cultivators.
Surrounding on the east, west, and north, leaving only the south gate open, clearly a classic encirclement strategy, besieging on three sides leaving one side open, setting a hidden trap to annihilate.
This was a trick long played out by humans, yet it was very effective. People often fought with determined resolve in dire situations, unleashing strong combat power, but once there was a chance to escape, they often did not fight to their full potential.
However, what they did not anticipate was that as the largest city in Xuanwu State, how could Xuanwu City not have a Transmission Array Platform?
If they truly wanted to retreat, they could directly activate the Transmission Array Platform, so the Demon Clan’s encirclement of three sides leaving one was destined to be self-defeating.
That night, the largest Transmission Array in Xuanwu City flashed with light, and the Treasure Pavilion Master arrived through the void along with the Feng Family Patriarch, the Tianxuan Holy Land Master, the Ancient Sacred Land Master, and numerous formidable figures, greatly enhancing Xuanwu City’s strength.
"Ye Fan, what on earth happened?"
Yayun Peak, the Treasure Pavilion Master, asked Ye Fan.
"Here’s what happened..."
Ye Fan briefly recounted the events to Yayun Peak and others, and everyone’s eyes turned red.
This battle, the Human Race suffered too great of a loss, more than half of Xuanwu State was trampled and ravaged by the Demon Clan army, the situation indeed seemed dire.
"Blood debt requires blood to repay, this time let these inhumane beasts meet their doom, avenge the dead!"
Under the summon of Yayun Peak, several heroic lords led their sects or Holy Lands’ strong people, dividing into four gates to charge out.
"Kill!!"
The great battle unfolded in the deep night, each Saint Lord level strong man was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, slaughtering the Demon Clan army into disarray.
Tens of thousands of Demon Clan strong people and Xuan Beasts were slaughtered cleanly within just one hour, various divine power secret skills blossomed with the glow of death.
"This is..."
"The strength of Saint Lord level!"
In the southern forests of Xuanwu City, Qing Lin and another four-star level Great Demon looked at the distant battle, their bodies chill as if caught in an ice cave.
The Human Race had mobilized Saint Lord level combat power, they simply couldn’t resist, if they didn’t retreat now, once discovered, it would be hard to leave.
"Retreat!"
Qing Lin’s mouth twitched, taking out a secret treasure, under full activation, this secret treasure instantly constructed a door of blinding white.
This was a forbidden artifact, particularly instructed to carry by the Green Flood Dragon King. Upon encountering an unbeatable opponent, directly activating this forbidden artifact could form a portal for traversing the void, stepping through it could return to the Demon Clan’s Holy Land.
As the Light Gate appeared, the thousands of elite Demon Clan strong people prepared for ambush swiftly traversed the void, by the time Yayun Peak discovered it, it was already too late.
In this battle, apart from thousands of elite Demon Clan strong people and two four-star level Great Demons escaping, the Demon Clan army was completely annihilated.
Outside Xuanwu City, blood flowed like rivers, many enormous Xuan Beasts were taken by various forces. These Divine Power Realm, even Lord Realm Xuan Beasts’ meat could help low realm disciples consolidate cultivation and improve their constitution, they naturally wouldn’t waste it.
Ye Fan also killed countless Demon Clan strong people and Xuan Beasts in the great battle, he was constantly searching for the two four-star level Great Demons, but unfortunately, they managed to escape.
Until daylight broke, Ye Fan released Tong Qianchen from the virtual space, delivering the devastating news of Tong Tianhao’s death.
Though difficult to accept, she would have to face it sooner or later; Ye Fan felt it was better to let her know earlier.
"Father..."
Upon hearing the devastating news of her father, Tong Qianchen was stunned for a while, then cried out loud, her cries were heart-wrenching.
"I will definitely avenge Uncle Tong!" Ye Fan lightly pat Tong Qianchen’s shoulder in comfort.
"Brother Ye Fan, I have no relatives anymore..." Tong Qianchen sobbed with tears flowing like raindrops.
"From now on, I am your relative, Uncle Tong entrusted you to me, if you don’t mind, consider me your elder brother!" Ye Fan said.
"Ugh..."
No response, Tong Qianchen simply hugged Ye Fan, crying out loud.
At the same time.
The Demon Clan suddenly attacked, invading massively, annihilating the most prosperous sect Xuanwu Sect in Xuanwu State, pressing all the way to Xuanwu City, and the news quickly spread across the Five Great Domains.
"What? The Demon Clan tore up the agreement and brazenly started a war?"
"The Demon Clan is too much, do they truly think our Human Race is defenseless?"
"The era of the Demon Clan Great Emperor has passed; we cannot tolerate the Demon Clan’s rampant actions. Our Human Race is not to be trifled with!"
"We must demand an explanation from the Demon Clan, this cannot be left unresolved!!"
The Five Domains were shocked and extremely angry at the Demon Clan not keeping their promise and privately starting a war; many strong people spontaneously joined together, heading towards the Xuanshou Mountain Range border, wanting the Demon Clan to give an explanation.
"Ye Fan, you should go; you’ve witnessed this matter from start to finish."
Qu Baoge Pavilion Master Yayun Peak said to Ye Fan.
"Alright!"
Ye Fan nodded, this time, the Demon Clan unilaterally tore up the agreement, launched a surprise attack, nearly wiping out Xuanwu Sect, this hatred was deep as the sea.
"Brother Ye Fan, I will go too!"
Tong Qianchen regained her composure but seemed to become reticent, her entire being as cold as ice.
"Alright, you are the direct victim of this Demon Clan invasion, you can go. Prepare a bit, we will set off immediately. I want to see, if the Demon Clan really intends to cancel the agreement and have a full-scale decisive battle with humanity!"
Yayun Peak’s expression was stern, his voice resounding powerfully, emitting a terrifying war intent!
