Free Web NovelChapter 549: Chapter 383: Battle with the Great Demon, Grand Marshal of the Armies! (Double Chapter)
A human with innate divine thunder, Xu Yuan’s presence instantly caught the attention of the Kang Jin Rat King.
He even forgot about his plan to destroy Minggu City because of this.
"Come." The Kang Jin Rat King stretched his hand and grabbed through the air.
Enormous demon qi seemed like thick thunderclouds, instantly enveloping Xu Yuan, attempting to drag him towards the king.
Xu Yuan was greatly shocked and struggled desperately to no avail.
His Blazing Divine Thunder, compared to the Kang Jin Rat King’s golden thunder, which a great demon possessed, was indeed still too immature.
Behind him, Song Changming’s right arm revealed the magical ape tattoo once more.
He was the first to act, releasing a Great Thunder Fire Saber that broke through the enormous demon qi surrounding Xu Yuan from the outside, rescuing him.
The Kang Jin Rat King looked again at the magical ape tattoo on Song Changming, its ancient desolate aura making even the great demon inexplicably wary.
The Kang Jin Rat King didn’t know the reason, only that this unsettling feeling made him very displeased.
"Saved." Xu Yuan escaped, showing a look of exhaustion.
Just now defending against the rat king’s Thunder Blade, plus the desperate struggle within the thundercloud, had already drained him immensely.
Compared to Song Changming and the three military grand marshals, his power was ultimately weaker; he was merely relying on his inherent divine thunder to endure this battle with the great demon.
He cast a grateful look towards Song Changming.
Song Changming shook his head without saying anything.
The magical ape tattoo on his body had retreated again, and the constant stinging pain in his right arm likewise warned him that the use of the Witch Soldier Seal had reached its limit.
If he still wanted to keep his right arm intact, he couldn’t summon the Witch Soldier Seal for battle anymore!
"As expected of a great demon, what kind of chance has this damned rat gained to become so powerful in just a few years..." Song Changming muttered, staring intently at the Kang Jin Rat King opposite.
In terms of the strength of demon race bloodlines, this Kangjin Rat was indeed extraordinary but ultimately just a bunch of burrowing rats, far inferior to the Thunder Wheel Tiger, another Thunder Phase Demon Race!
The fact that the opponent could grow into a great demon must be due to a significant opportunity; he couldn’t believe otherwise.
"Troublesome..." Hu Xuzhi thought.
Although a few of their military grand marshal powerhouses could barely contend with this great demon by teaming up, that clearly wasn’t a long-term solution.
If the main city’s actions were slower, not only would Minggu City be doomed, but the soldiers of their few armies would be in danger too!
Even they couldn’t hold out for too long.
In the distance, the Kang Jin Rat King suddenly took a step forward, transforming into a bolt of lightning that appeared in front of Song Changming and Xu Yuan in the blink of an eye.
The speed was so fast that no one present could react!
Song Changming’s pupils contracted, and his gang qi instinctively protected his body upon sensing danger.
But his gang qi wasn’t strong enough; a long, aged hand with dark fur easily pierced through his gang qi, gripping his neck.
A suffocating sensation hit, and his throat was being forcefully squeezed.
Next to him, Xu Yuan was equally affected.
Song Changming once again experienced the absolute power suppression from a great demon.
In fact, this wasn’t his first time facing a great demon directly.
When he first arrived in Ancient Abyss Country, he was easily captured by Master Baitian and refined into a pill alive.
Later, he encountered the Great Demon Kite, and then now this rat demon.
Although Song Changming’s current power had increased rapidly, without reaching Grandmaster level, it was indeed too difficult to contend with demon race great demons.
He had already summoned all his Armor Seals for protection, but he wasn’t sure if he could withstand the rat demon’s palm force.
The worst result would be death today, undergoing Nirvana rebirth, and coming back with a new identity!
At this moment, he had already considered the worst outcome, and luckily, his life span was ample, so he didn’t have to worry too much about dying.
However, before that came to pass, Song Changming didn’t plan on sitting idly awaiting his fate.
He grasped the opponent’s wrist with his right hand, and the magical ape tattoo on his arm was about to manifest once more.
At that moment, he could no longer care whether his right arm could handle it, he wanted to fight the great demon one last time!
And just at this critical juncture, a streak of silver light flashed down from the skies.
Accompanied by a subtle and sharp wind sound, the silver light drew a large arc across the horizon.
In an instant, the silver light swept past Song Changming’s eyes.
He couldn’t see clearly, but he could vaguely recognize it seemed like a flying saber knife.
After the flying saber swept past, the rat king’s furious roar exploded beside him.
Song Changming’s grip loosened around his throat, noticing that the rat king’s arms gripping him and Xu Yuan were both severed, evidently cut by that flying saber!
A saber capable of severing a great demon’s arms?!
Song Changming’s heart stirred; perhaps today he might not need to be reborn.
He swiftly pulled Xu Yuan, retreating in a flash.
The rat king transformed rapidly, turning into an enormous rat beast form, roaring in fury continuously.
"Come out!"
Each roar resonated with thunderclaps echoing across the skies.
Within the thunder light, a figure appeared before everyone.
His appearance brought relief to everyone, including Song Changming.
This person was the Grand Marshal of the Military Department, Hu Tomb.
As far as Song Changming knew, this high-ranking member of the Hu Family imperial family was undoubtedly a Grandmaster powerhouse!
His arrival was clearly to deal with the Kang Jin Rat King.
Seeing his uncle arrive, Hu Xuzhi also laid down his weapon, raising his hand, allowing the soldiers behind him to retreat back into the City Defense Array.
Wang Tianshuang and Meng Kunlun did the same, ordering their soldiers to retreat into the city.
A battle between a human race Grandmaster and a demon race great demon generated tremendous destructive power, where even slight aftershocks could cause casualties.
