Free Web NovelChapter 518: Chapter 367: Tai Nan City Battlefield, Battle Against the Netherworld Dog Again! (Double Length) _2
Song Changming felt a sense of déjà vu; aren’t these the same demon beasts that previously flew over the main city? It’s unexpected to see them again now.
Now Song Changming knew that these creatures, not quite dragons but resembling them, were gigantic lizard-like monsters with large fleshy wings.
They are called Earth Core Fire Dragon Demons, occupying the lands of Yan Province.
It is said that in their ancestral bloodline is the legendary blood of the Celestial Fire True Dragon, which allows them to breathe fire, play around year-round in active volcanoes, and soak in lava like it’s a hot spring without any harm.
All their abilities stem from the flames.
Seeing these Earth Core Fire Dragon Demons rushing towards the soldiers to devour them, Wang Tianshuang let out a cold snort and drew his big saber first to strike.
Song Changming followed closely, also striking with his saber.
The skin of these Earth Core Dragons is extremely tough, even capable of resisting Earth Core Lava, making them very difficult to wound.
However, under Song Changming’s single slash, three Earth Core Fire Dragons were cut in half; two of them were bisected, spraying dragon blood into the sky and dying before they could even scream!
The remaining Earth Core Dragon was luckier, only losing a leg.
After surviving, this Earth Core Fire Dragon flapped its wings in a panic, trying to distance itself from Song Changming below.
Though these Earth Core Fire Dragon Demons looked fierce and strong, and carried a trace of the True Dragon bloodline, making them not insignificant.
But their overall combat power only barely reached the level of Demon General, manageable by an ordinary commander in the army, not to mention someone like Song Changming now.
Simultaneously with Song Changming, Wang Tianshuang struck, and the remaining Earth Core Fire Dragon Demons realized they had met a formidable foe and fled in all directions.
"Changming," Wang Tianshuang said calmly.
"Understood," Song Changming nodded, immediately rising into the sky, crossing through the air to pursue the surviving Earth Core Fire Dragon Demons.
"The whole army, attack!" Wang Tianshuang ordered without dwelling any longer on the fleeing Earth Core Fire Dragons, feeling that the time was right and not wanting to delay further.
The entire army mobilized, surmounting the nearby hills, heading toward Tai Nan City, where the rampaging Demon Race was.
Simultaneously, from both west and east directions, two other Human Race armies emerged, thrusting directly toward the Demon Race.
"Human Race! Prepare to die!"
"Delicious human flesh, wonderful!"
"Kill them all! Kill them all!"
"..."
The roars of Ten Thousand Demons echoed as they turned to engage the reinforcing three armies in battle!
On the high walls, soldiers snapped their great bows and broke their blades; many fought the Demon Race to the point of exhaustion, yet the enormous demon offensive did not diminish in the slightest.
Just as a shadow of despair began to cloud everyone’s heart, the reinforcements pierced through the dark clouds, bringing a glimmer of victory.
"Great! Reinforcements are here! Reinforcements have finally arrived!"
"Soldiers, heed my command! Those who still have Qi Power, pick up your weapons and charge out of the city with me!" A Grand Marshal of the Cuiqi Army, entangled with several powerful demons, worried that the reinforcements might struggle alone and immediately ordered a counterattack out of the city.
The Little Flag Masters under his command responded to his order, organizing their soldiers to charge forward.
The intensity of the entire battle escalated to another level.
Elsewhere, Song Changming pursued the remaining Earth Core Fire Dragon Demons; this was no difficult task for him.
The reason for his relentless pursuit was that these Earth Core Fire Dragon Demons might have discovered their material transport hiding spot.
To be safe, Wang Tianshuang ordered Song Changming to pursue them to the end.
"The ninth one." Song Changming, in midair, caught up with another Earth Core Fire Dragon Demon, his long saber shining once more. freewēbnoveℓ.com
"Roar!"
The Earth Core Fire Dragon Demon suddenly turned its head, opening its mouth in anger to spew fireballs at Song Changming.
The fireballs, carrying extremely high temperatures, were hot enough to melt iron and turn earth to magma!
However, Song Changming nonchalantly delivered a slash, cleanly shattering the opponent’s proud fire manipulation ability.
Steadfast strength always prevails!
Even the energy body immune to physical attacks like Frost Soul couldn’t withstand his blade, so how could Song Changming possibly be fazed by a few sparks from these flying lizards?
"No..." The Earth Core Fire Dragon Demon, seeing its fire attack had no effect on Song Changming, attempted to utter something humanoid.
But Song Changming, not wanting to hear more, brought down his saber once again.
The ninth Earth Core Fire Dragon Demon was killed on the spot.
Dragon blood splattered, and as Song Changming raised his hand, numerous Dragon Blood Essences followed him, entering his body, starting to refine themselves, and continuing to strengthen his physique.
Though Song Changming was reluctant to acknowledge these flying lizards as members of the Dragon Race, the trace of Dragon Race blood within them indeed made their blood and flesh essence more precious than that of ordinary Demon Race.
Song Changming could feel that after refining the blood and flesh essence of these Earth Core Fire Dragon Demons, the toughness of his physical body was increasing!
His burgeoning Qi Power continued to grow noticeably.
In the sky, an Earth Core Fire Dragon Demon descended like a crashing aircraft, falling onto a mountaintop.
Its hard body shattered large areas of rocks and trees upon impact.
It was covered in blood, and from its numerous wounds, it was horrified to find that its dragon blood was constantly leaking out, transforming into blood mist and floating into the sky.
There, Song Changming was gently descending, leisurely absorbing its Demon Blood Essence.
"Please spare me, I am willing to serve you eternally and acknowledge you as my master!" The Earth Core Fire Dragon Demon spoke weakly, seeking the last possible chance for survival.
It was the last of the Earth Core Fire Dragon Demons pursued by Song Changming and was also the strongest of that group.
It was estimated to be comparable in combat power to an Innate Martial Artist with two Celestial Martial Veins.
This allowed it to withstand one slash from Song Changming and still remain alive.
"If you were a True Dragon, I might consider it," Song Changming casually remarked, bringing down his saber mercilessly, slaying this Earth Core Fire Dragon Demon.
He currently had no means to ensure this demon’s submission would be unwavering.
Moreover, keeping this demon around would be too cumbersome, potentially causing unnecessary trouble and implicating him.
Therefore, he didn’t consider leaving any survivors.
After dealing with the last Earth Core Fire Dragon Demon and extracting its Demon Blood Essence, Song Changming prepared to re-enter the battlefield.
Today’s battle would inevitably be fierce!
Yet just as Song Changming was about to move, another group of demons swiftly approached, appearing on the mountaintop where he stood.
These demons appeared not in their beast forms but in human forms, surrounding Song Changming.
"Finally, an opportunity to catch you!" A burly man clenched his fists, staring sharply at Song Changming, speaking grimly.
"We’ve been waiting for years; if we don’t have you brought in before the Celestial Master exits seclusion, it will surely disappoint him greatly." Another person, appearing youthful, commented with a sinister smile.
"This Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun came at just the right time!" A man with narrow eyes and a tail smiled as he looked towards the ominous clouds above.
"Isn’t that right, Netherworld Dog?"
As his last words fell, a familiar face appeared in front of Song Changming.
The person descending from the clouds was the very same Netherworld Dog who had once tried to abduct Song Changming.
Back then, Song Changming’s abilities were far inferior to his opponent, leading to a fierce struggle where he narrowly avoided being captured.
Now meeting again, old and new grievances naturally surged within his heart.
Simultaneously, he understood the origins of this demon crowd targeting him.
Undoubtedly, they were the powerful demons under the command of Master Baitian of the Baitian Temple.
If Master Baitian was still recovering, the decision to capture him undoubtedly rested with this Netherworld Dog before him.
If not for this Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun event, the Netherworld Dog would never have dared to make such a brazen move to capture a person.
What the narrow-eyed man said was true; thanks to this fierce cosmic event, they could sneak in among the confusion and invade Cui Bai Dao alongside others.
Netherworld Dog first glanced at the dried-up Earth Core Fire Dragon Demon corpse on the ground, then turned to Song Changming, speaking indifferently.
"No need for more words; the longer we delay, the more things can change."
