Free Web NovelChapter 2176: Chapter 2177: True to My Word! One Update
The great army of abyss demons retreated once more, returning to the cosmic abyss.
Ye Qiu still hid inside the Taihuang Bell, not revealing himself. He believed Elder Huang wouldn’t give up easily. In front of the ancient city, he might respect those within the city, but now that the demon wave had ended, he would definitely try to find the murderer of the Hongyuan Holy Son.
If he couldn’t find him, he would certainly, as before, slay all the demons.
"There are five emperor-level demons here, I wonder if he will act." Ye Qiu speculated in his heart, unsure when Elder Huang would strike.
As the daylight grew brighter, the distance to the cosmic abyss grew nearer.
Suddenly, a giant beam descended from the sky, directly enveloping a substantial number of abyss demons.
Puff puff puff puff...
The abyss demons hit by the beam exploded one after another, whether ordinary or king-level abyss demons, in the face of this power, they were easily crushed like dirt.
Ye Qiu only felt a jolt. The Taihuang Bell had been resting on an ordinary abyss demon, but as this power emerged, the demon instantly perished. The Taihuang Bell, now the size of sand grains, also suffered a hit.
It’s begun!
Inside the Taihuang Bell, Ye Qiu’s expression changed, thankfully the bell’s defensive power was strong enough to resist most of the attack, leaving the remaining power inside the bell unable to threaten Ye Qiu, causing only some dizziness.
He quickly turned his gaze; Elder Huang was floating above the demon army, staring down.
"How unlucky, to be inadvertently hit by him." Ye Qiu said with some dismay, mainly because Elder Huang’s attack range was too large. With just one strike, at least a thousand abyss demons had died, a single blow caused such devastation.
This also indirectly showed how terrifying the power of a celestial-level being could be. Once it exploded, the damage inflicted was astonishingly deadly.
With human attacks upon them, the abyss demons’ first reaction was anger, but upon sensing Elder Huang’s aura, they all showed fear.
The aura of a celestial-level being was something most abyss demons were apprehensive of.
However, there were five abyss demons who did not remain silent. As celestial-level powerhouses, the five emperor-level abyss demons immediately surrounded Elder Huang.
The battle ignited once more.
Elder Huang took the initiative to strike, even facing five equally strong abyss demons, his fighting spirit remained high.
The anger in his heart had not dissipated, previously he held back as a courtesy to the city’s people, but now he sought only to vent.
He wanted to kill all the abyss demons present to honor the Hongyuan Holy Son.
The figures in the sky constantly changed, while the abyss demons on the ground trembled from the clash of celestial-level energies.
Ye Qiu watched the scene through the Taihuang Bell. It seemed his killing of the Hongyuan Holy Son had thoroughly enraged Elder Huang, otherwise, he wouldn’t have acted with five emperor-level demons present.
Elder Huang’s behavior was somewhat reckless.
But seeing Elder Huang like this made Ye Qiu feel more satisfied. Previously, Elder Huang nearly killed him. Taking out the Hongyuan Holy Son was just Ye Qiu collecting some interest.
The five emperor demons were thick-skinned and tough. Despite Elder Huang’s attacks, they mostly relied on their bodies to withstand. After several clashes, Elder Huang fell into a disadvantage, even his strong celestial-level body showed signs of injury.
In contrast, Elder Huang ignored his own injuries completely, even if he couldn’t eliminate the five abyss demons in one go, he would continue to entangle them.
Ye Qiu, watching from below, became increasingly impressed. Elder Huang’s combat abilities were truly impressive. A veteran celestial-level force, several times facing situations that seemed fatal, he broke through and found safety.
Even if Ye Qiu earnestly wished Elder Huang would be slain by the emperor demons, he had to admit Elder Huang’s martial skills were astonishing.
The moves seemed simple and plain, yet each strike contained a reasoning, unleashing mighty power.
Ye Qiu’s level had not reached celestial levels, making him see the battle dimly, but it did not stop him from judging Elder Huang’s prowess.
A strong player remains strong, those who ascend to celestial level are no ordinary foes.
The exchange lasted a long time, half a stick of incense passed, both sides were still fiercely battling.
However, Ye Qiu noticed a detail. Elder Huang, who had been besieged by five emperor demons, was gradually turning the disadvantage back in his favor.
He glanced at the sky, noticing it was much brighter now. The surrounding abyss demons appeared lethargic, seemingly very displeased with the daylight.
What?
Ye Qiu was stunned. What was happening?
Could it be... abyss demons dislike sunlight?
He saw the five emperor-level abyss demons, their originally golden skin now emitting heat.
He guessed correctly, abyss demons dislike daylight because the sunlight discomforts them, even diminishing their combat power.
"Abyss demons originate from the cosmic abyss, where sunlight never reaches, so they despise bright light."
"No wonder the demon wave erupts nightly and ends at dawn, it makes sense now."
In an instant, Ye Qiu understood many things. Observing Elder Huang becoming increasingly vigorous, even if stained with blood, his face showed a smile. Clearly, he was aware of this all along.
"No wonder he dared to strike, he had daylight in mind all along, intending to use it to stall the five emperor-level abyss demons," Ye Qiu muttered.
As daylight grew, the abyss demons, without the emperor demons’ command, clustered together, exposing their backs, and huddled their heads to avoid the light.
The five emperor demons battling Elder Huang no longer wished to fight. The light greatly affected their strength. After one abyss demon emitted a peculiar sound, the five demons immediately retreated, racing towards the cosmic abyss.
Simultaneously, the surrounding abyss demon army all moved, no longer bundled, and started rushing towards the cosmic abyss too.
"None will return alive." Elder Huang watched as the multitude of demons frantically charged towards the cosmic abyss. His mouth curled into a cold arc. The next second, he attacked the demon army.
Boom boom boom...
Without the emperor demons blocking, Elder Huang slaughtering the demon army was like child’s play.
Each strike could take the lives of thousands, leaving vast swathes of dead abyss demons.
This sight left Ye Qiu strangely shaken.
In about twenty breaths, the ground was littered with abyss demon corpses, resembling a demon’s grave.
Suspended in mid-air, Elder Huang, during this time, slew all common and king abyss demons, leaving only five emperor-level abyss demons fleeing.
Swish.
He looked towards the direction where the five emperor demons escaped, his gaze flashed, and he chased after them.
He truly intended to fulfill his words, to kill all abyss demons, and the five emperor demons were no exception.
