Chapter 62 Star Palace Crisis 4
Above Tianxing City, spiritual light and demonic energy intertwined, collided, and annihilated each other wildly! The roars of magical treasures, the explosions of supernatural powers, the roars of cultivators, and the howls of ancient demons resounded through the sky!
This was a brutal battle with a huge disparity in strength.
On the human side, there were only about thirty Nascent Soul cultivators. On the other hand, the ancient demons had more than eighty Nascent Soul ancient demons participating in the siege, and they had been recuperating for a long time, their demonic energy was abundant, and they were extremely ferocious.
Upon contact, the human cultivators were immediately plunged into a fierce battle.
A human cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm had just killed several Nascent Soul demons when he was besieged by three ancient demons of the same level. His protective magic treasure shattered instantly, his physical body was devoured by demonic fire, and even his Nascent Soul could not escape. He was annihilated in both body and soul!
Another Nascent Soul cultivator skilled in formations attempted to set up a trapping formation to block the enemy, but the leader of the Empty Remains shattered the formation plate with a palm strike from a distance, sending him flying backward, coughing up blood, his fate unknown.
Relying on his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation and the advantage of the Star Sword, Ling Yunchen fought three late-stage Nascent Soul ancient demons alone. Although he was not at a disadvantage, he was tightly entangled and unable to spare any effort to rescue the others.
On the battlefield, human cultivators fell one after another, their blood staining the sky and the earth red. Meanwhile, the number of ancient demons seemed endless.
"Hahaha! Ants, struggle! Fear! This is the consequence of being an enemy of my Holy Race!" The leader of the empty-handed clan hovered high in the sky, watching the one-sided massacre below, and let out a cruel laugh.
He didn't personally engage the low-level cultivators who were evacuating through the teleportation array; in his view, they were insignificant fodder. His goal was to completely annihilate the human race's high-end combat power, especially Nascent Soul cultivators like Ling Yunchen.
"Today is your death day!" Kong Yu's gaze locked onto Ling Yunchen, and he gathered a terrifying ball of demonic energy in his hand, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.
However, at this critical moment—
"Buzz!"
A faint spatial tremor, yet seemingly resounding deep within the souls of all the ancient demons, came without warning!
Immediately afterwards, a violent disturbance of spiritual energy suddenly erupted in the demonic array area behind the ancient demon army, which was responsible for sealing off space and preventing cultivators from escaping! Several key array nodes collapsed silently at the same time!
"What happened?!" The leader's laughter abruptly stopped. He turned around sharply, his face instantly turning ashen. The blockade... had been breached?!
This sudden turn of events brought the entire ancient demon capital to a standstill. The breach in the blockade meant that the teleportation arrays within Tianxing City would no longer be disturbed, greatly accelerating the evacuation of the lower-level cultivators!
"Who is it?! Show yourself!" Kong Yu roared, his powerful divine sense frantically scanning the surroundings, but he only caught a faint, ethereal aura that blended into the wind before it vanished without a trace.
"Damn it! It's that Feng Xiu! Wang Tianlong!" Kong Yu reacted instantly, a surge of rage rising within him. He never expected that this guy who had been hiding in the shadows was actually the one their Holy Lord had been searching for.
At this moment, within Tianxing City, the teleportation array, which had been intermittent and inefficient due to the spatial blockade, suddenly became stable and bright!
"Quick! The teleportation array is stable! Let's go!" The Star Palace Elder, who was in charge of maintaining the teleportation array, was both surprised and delighted, and urged loudly.
Countless low-level cultivators and mortals surged into the teleportation array like a tide, flashing with light as they were teleported away in batches.
"Everyone! Do not linger! Take turns providing cover and retreat to the teleportation array!" Ling Yunchen also noticed this change and was overjoyed. He immediately shouted the order.
Although it is unknown who came to the aid, this undoubtedly gave the human cultivators a glimmer of hope!
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Kong Yu roared in fury, his figure blurring as he transformed into a gigantic demonic shadow, carrying a world-destroying force as he pounced on the retreating human cultivators!
He wanted to keep all of these top human forces that dared to resist!
On the edge of the battlefield, in the shadows.
Wang Tianlong's figure moved like a ghost. He didn't go to rescue Ling Yunchen, nor did he help the Nascent Soul cultivators who were on the verge of death. He knew very well that he alone couldn't reverse this inevitable defeat. Rushing in recklessly would only drag him down with him. "Let's go all in!"
Wang Tianlong had a bold plan in mind. He decided to reveal himself, using himself as bait to draw the ancient demons' firepower, buy time for the others, and at the same time... complete the task of "cutting one slash".
With a swift movement, he dispelled all concealment, and his body erupted with a surge of azure light. The powerful aura of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was released without reservation, like a beacon that instantly attracted the attention of all the ancient demons on the battlefield!
"Wang Tianlong! It's Wang Tianlong!" An ancient demon recognized him and screamed.
"The Holy Lord has decreed that whoever captures or kills Wang Tianlong will be richly rewarded!" another ancient demon roared.
In an instant, the dozens of Nascent Soul Ancient Demons who were originally chasing other human cultivators turned around and pounced on Wang Tianlong like sharks smelling blood! All kinds of demonic supernatural powers and magical treasures poured down on him like a torrential rain!
"Well done!" Wang Tianlong was not surprised but delighted, and laughed loudly.
Instead of taking all the attacks head-on, he pushed the "Wind-Treading Technique" to its limit, his figure weaving and shifting like a ghost through the gaps in the barrage of attacks. His speed was so great that most of the attacks missed, with only a few powerful demonic techniques striking his protective aura squarely.
"Boom! Boom!"
Wang Tianlong's body trembled violently, and his protective aura flickered, but he was completely unharmed! His cultivation at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, coupled with the exquisite control of wind spirit power by the "Wind-Treading Technique," made his defense reach an astonishing level.
"Late stage of Nascent Soul! He's broken through to the late stage of Nascent Soul!" The leader of the empty-handed clan's pupils shrank, shocked. He hadn't expected that Wang Tianlong's strength would increase so much in just a hundred years!
"Attack together! Kill him!" Kong Yu roared, personally taking action. A huge demonic claw tore through the void and slashed down at Wang Tianlong's head.
Facing the full-force attack of the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Wang Tianlong dared not be careless. He took a deep breath, his Heaven-Stepping Boots flashing with spiritual light, and instead of retreating, he advanced, charging towards the demonic claw!
Just as he was about to collide with the demonic claws, a cyan longsword formed from pure wind spiritual energy appeared in his hand without him even noticing!
"cut!"
Wang Tianlong roared, and the long sword in his hand transformed into a streak of azure light that stretched across the sky, carrying a sharp intent to tear everything apart, and slashed fiercely at the empty demonic claw!
"Sizzle—!"
A piercing tearing sound rang out!
That seemingly invincible demonic claw was actually cleaved open by Wang Tianlong's blade, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound! Black demonic blood gushed out like a fountain!
"Ah!" Kong Yu let out a painful roar, both shocked and furious. He hadn't expected Wang Tianlong to not only have amazing defense, but also such formidable attack power!
Although this strike failed to severely injure Kong Yu, it greatly dampened the morale of the Ancient Demons, and made Wang Tianlong feel extremely pleased!
"Haha! Old Demon, how did that strike taste?" Wang Tianlong laughed, using the momentum to fly backward. At the same time, he waved his hands repeatedly, unleashing several sharp wind blades that slashed at the other ancient demons rushing towards him, forcing them into a flurry of activity.
