Free Web NovelChapter 2154: Chapter 2155: Demonic Encirclement! Second Update
(The earlier text was revised, then Jin Shanshun, Beast God, and others arrived, including Qin Feng, who was overlooked earlier!)
The demonic wave came early; it was supposed to arrive in the next couple of days, but it came one or two days earlier.
Everyone is fleeing rapidly from this place.
Only Miao Shan and Elder Huang remain unperturbed, as they are both powerful celestial beings, unthreatened by the numerous abyss demons.
However, their expressions soon changed as a completely black abyss demon slowly emerged. Its body was towering, measuring over twenty meters, distinctly different from the ordinary and king abyss demons.
Along with this black abyss demon, there were dozens of golden figures behind it, which are emperor abyss demons.
Currently, these emperor abyss demons seem to regard the black abyss demon as their superior.
Seeing these powerful abyss demons, both Miao Shan and Elder Huang raised their eyebrows, sensing danger.
Elder Huang was reluctant to fight these abyss demons; he had visited Star River Road in his youth and understood the hierarchy of abyss demons.
He wasn’t afraid of emperor abyss demons, but that black abyss demon was different.
Though it didn’t exude any aura, its mere presence was terrifying and unfathomable.
"Demon Lord!"
The one capable of commanding emperor abyss demons must be the Demon Lord!
Although Elder Huang had never encountered a Demon Lord, he knew it was an existence a tier above emperor demons, surpassing celestial level powers in strength and being incredibly formidable.
Elder Huang could handle emperor abyss demons, but against a Demon Lord, he remained cautious.
There was no benefit in challenging a Demon Lord, only wasted effort. Elder Huang promptly retreated.
Miao Shan glanced at Elder Huang’s retreating figure and then at the direction Ye Qiu had fallen, suppressing the urge to pursue Elder Huang, as he wanted to venture into the cosmic abyss to see if he could find Ye Qiu.
However, just as he was about to advance, an emperor abyss demon attacked him.
"Those who block my path shall die."
Miao Shan knew emperor abyss demons were troublesome, but he refused to leave.
Then, he engaged fiercely with the emperor abyss demon. As more emperor abyss demons joined, Miao Shan realized he couldn’t linger here any longer. He cast one last deep glance at the cosmic abyss and swiftly fled.
Lingering meant risking his life.
...
In the ancient city of Star River, as the demonic wave erupted, news was swiftly spread, and everyone was on high alert.
Inside the city, people were anxious; previously they hunted abyss demons, but now, with the demons attacking in large numbers, they were worried.
Garo and Pu Zhen appeared, standing on the ancient city walls, gazing ahead.
Many martial artists outside the city were hastily returning.
Beast God, Luo Fu, Jin Shanshun, and Qin Feng returned swiftly on a flying boat.
The Taiyi Saint Heir, Stone Demon Lord, and Hongyuan Holy Son followed shortly after.
As for the two elder martial artists who were half-step celestial, they didn’t enter the ancient city but stopped afar. They weren’t meant to be on Star River Road and would be killed by the Order Enforcer if they entered the ancient city.
Star River Road is meant to hone young martial artists, and the presence of other powerful beings would break some rules, something the Order Enforcer dislikes.
"The demons have arrived..."
Someone pointed ahead at a mass of dark shadows, moving forward and pressing in.
Gradually, the figures of abyss demons became clearer, approaching the ancient city of Star River.
Garo and Pu Zhen exchanged glances, simultaneously forming seals, ushering a massive light that enveloped the ancient city, forming a barrier.
"Great, the Order Enforcer intervened; we’re safe now."
Many rejoiced; the sheer number of abyss demons was frightening. If they all attacked, it felt like being surrounded by endless enemies.
Puff, puff, puff!
The numerous abyss demons charged, but were stopped outside the barrier.
Initially, it was only ordinary abyss demons attacking, but when numerous emperor abyss demons joined, the barrier began to tremble.
Garo and Pu Zhen warned everyone inside the city to prepare for battle.
Suddenly, many were bewildered.
What!
Could the barrier not hold these abyss demons back?
Soon, reality showed everyone there is no impenetrable barrier, even one set by the Order Enforcer.
For the Demon Lord took action, piercing the barrier with a single finger.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
Countless abyss demons stormed in.
Young martial artists, seeing the barrier break, knew they couldn’t hide and began battling the abyss demons. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Numerous ordinary abyss demons perished; they were the easiest to deal with, and those who survived among the young martial artists were no weaklings, having gained ample experience in slaying abyss demons.
Now, no one could escape the encirclement of the abyss demons.
Even the two elder martial artists who hadn’t entered the ancient city of Star River were fighting abyss demons; the entire place was packed with abyss demons everywhere.
Fortunately, the two elders were formidable; when they killed one, a large number died.
The fiercest battles occurred around the ancient city of Star River, where many young martial artists defended the city walls, slaughtering any abyss demon attempting to climb.
Everywhere, enemies and battles prevailed.
This was a test for all martial artists entering the ancient city of Star River; everyone had only one thought, survival!
Garo and Pu Zhen didn’t help the young martial artists, as they were facing more formidable abyss demons.
Demon Lord!
The Demon Lord finally appeared after hundreds of years.
"Hopefully, many of these young ones survive."
"Weren’t we the same back then? Only through experience can one grow."
With fierce winds fluttering their clothes and hair, their words carried a nostalgic sigh, reminiscing about the past.
"Though cruel, this is the path of the martial artist." Garo said.
"Now it’s our turn; the Demon Lord won’t just stand by," Pu Zhen stated calmly.
"I’ve waited long for the chance to battle the Demon Lord," Garo exclaimed enthusiastically, rolling up his sleeves, ready for a grand battle.
Pu Zhen remained calm, even facing the Demon Lord, slowly saying, "They have their trials, and our test as Order Enforcers is the strongest abyss demons."
"What are we waiting for, let’s attack." Garo took the lead, transforming into a stream of light, charging at the Demon Lord.
Instantly, the battle resumed.
