Chapter 781 - 726: Counterattack

Chapter 781: Chapter 726: Counterattack

Seeing that Shi Yuming wanted to lead the members of the Five Mountains Immortal Sect to follow the Heavenly Interence Sect towards the northeast, Jing Quan still felt that this move was inappropriate but couldn’t speak up at this moment.

Because out of the six people from the True Martial Immortal Sect, only three were willing to follow him.

Leaving the main force, especially the great array of the Five Mountains Immortal Sect, he was not confident he could survive here, let alone find other ways to survive.

Moreover, among the Ten Great Powers, Red Sun Sect and Golden Wave Sect were allies, not likely to accept them; the whereabouts of other families and sects were unknown, perhaps all had perished.

Thinking of this, Jing Quan turned his head to the side, avoiding the gaze of his fellow sect members and remained silent.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuebai sneered, subconsciously pressing the deer horn in her collar, and scanned outside the array.

"Those two Divinity Transformation True Demons are still around; we need to find the right moment to shake them off..."

The words were not yet finished when a mournful and sharp shriek pierced the sky, causing everyone to frown and turn their heads, covering their ears.

Jiang Yuebai seemed oblivious, quickly walking to the edge of the Great Array, witnessing a golden Sword Aura splitting mountains and seas, a fiery Vermilion Bird screaming in the air, crashing hard into the high Demon Cloud.

It was Ye Tianlang from the Red Sun Sect and Pei Shengyue from the Golden Wave Sect, both counter-killing the Divinity Transformation True Demon that attacked them.

At the same time, Jiang Yuebai also saw in various parts of the forest and behind the collapsed solitary peak, giant axes splitting mountains, tens of thousands of swords soaring through the sky.

A fierce sound wave stirred the wind and clouds, as a female cultivator carried a giant pen on her shoulder, using the sky as paper, splattering ink to write talismans, fiercely attacking the Demon Clan army.

Jiang Yuebai had seen all those prominent figures in the intelligence reports across various realms before; there was no need to mention Ye Tianlang and Pei Shengyue, but the giant axe splitting mountains came from the Wu Family of the Five Emperors Realm under the Taiwei Star Alliance, ranked fifth among the Ten Great Powers.

The tens of thousands of swords soaring through the sky, Sword Intent surging, must be from the Luofu Sword Sect in the Shaking Light Realm under the Beidou Star Alliance, once visited by Lu Nanzhi, one of the three major sword sects, ranked sixth among the Ten Great Powers.

In terms of sheer strength, the Luofu Sword Sect was not inferior to the top-ranked Golden Wave Sect, but because Sword Cultivators were straightforward, they did not fare well in several comprehensive power contests at the last Qingyun Conference, failing to secure the top position.

And that female cultivator carrying a giant pen caught the eye of Wenn Jian beside Jiang Yuebai, as she was a Talismanic Cultivator from the Fengg Family in the Emperor’s Throne Realm, the main realm of the Tianshi Star Alliance, ranked seventh among the Ten Great Powers.

During her days of ’upholding justice,’ Jiang Yuebai had obtained a copy of "Fengg’s Talisman Technique," from which she learned various methods of creating Treasure Talismans, with the Fengg Family in question being from this Emperor’s Throne Realm.

The fierce sound wave must be from Beiji Palace, the Sound Cultivator ranked eighth under the Ziwei Star Alliance.

Among the Ten Great Powers, there was also Ruyi Sect in the Dubhe Realm, ranked ninth, proficient in various miscellaneous skills, and the Jiangg Family in the Yuheng Realm, ranked tenth, excelling in both medicine and poison, becoming the Cultivation Realm’s major landlord through farming, yet to appear.

The rest had already revealed their edge, rising up to counter-attack.

The fierce counterattacks from all sides were straining the Demon Clan, especially Ye Tianlang and Pei Shengyue, who seemed to be in a frenzy, chasing the Divinity Transformation True Demons in the air to kill.

With the lead taken by the two of them, other capable cultivators in various areas also frequently attacked the Divinity Transformation True Demons, focusing on capturing the leader first.

As a result, the two Divinity Transformation True Demons guarding outside the Mystic Turtle Array had to abandon their siege on Jiang Yuebai and the others and turn to the high sky to support the other Divinity Transformation True Demons.

Participants of the Qingyun Conference, especially the elites among the Ten Great Powers, were equipped with significant treasures and sect family elders’ secret techniques, each having the ability to kill enemies beyond their tier.

Jiang Yuebai’s good fortune arrived once more. She stared at the turbulent spell storm in mid-air and said to Shen Huaxi, "Huaixi, lead everyone away first. I’ll stay behind to cover the rear."

This was the moment when the morale of the Human Clan cultivators had just surged; it was the right time to counterattack. If one more Divinity Transformation True Demon could be slain, the obstacles for everyone escaping later would be less.

Jiang Yuebai didn’t want her fellow sect juniors and juniors to take risks, but she couldn’t pass up this opportunity.

After all, if she wanted to escape, even a Divinity Transformation True Demon couldn’t stop her.

Shen Huaxi glanced at the high sky, without the slightest hesitation, "Alright, be careful, catch up quickly."

Shi Yuming and the others opened the Array and left according to Shen Huaxi’s arrangement; Jing Quan hesitated for a moment but finally led the True Martial Immortal Sect’s people at the rear.

Just as Jiang Yuebai was preparing to step into the air, there was a commotion behind her. It was Lu Nanzhi, Xie Jingshan, and Shi Yuming returning.

Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan said nothing; the childhood bond allowed them to remain in perfect understanding, needing only a glance to know each other’s intentions.

They wouldn’t let Jiang Yuebai fight alone.

Shi Yuming strode over and said, holding a silver Iron Rod in hand, "Fleeing in battle is not the conduct of our cultivators; even for the sake of fellow sect members, I must stay behind to cover the rear."

The few exchanged glances and then immediately rose into the air, slaying the pursuing Demon Clan army below while charging towards the fierce battle in mid-air.

A Primordial Demon General burst out of the forest, seeing the four, its entire body surged with Demonic Qi, transforming into a giant black-feathered iron-clawed eagle, charging fiercely.

Before Jiang Yuebai could act, Shi Yuming on the side snorted coldly, his Iron Rod whistling out, the mountain-like weight smashing intensely onto the black-feathered iron eagle.

Boom!

With a resounding explosion, a visible surging shockwave spread from the point of impact, shattering the Primordial Demon General with a single blow from Shi Yuming, leaving no armor intact.

The leftover force of the Iron Rod, like a heavy punch hitting the ground, caused the ground below to explode into a horrifying crater, instantly crushing hundreds of Earth Demons into powder.

Such power left Jiang Yuebai unable to help but marvel, while also curious how Shi Yuming’s strength compared to Bai Jiuyou.

"Be careful!"

Xie Jingshan beside raised an alarm, the long sword clanging, flames transforming into a giant dog, swiping its paws to break the approaching Demonic Qi spears in front of them.

Black clouds surged, Blood Thunder crossed the sky; originally there were twelve Divinity Transformation True Demons, two slain by Jiang Yuebai and her group, Ye Tianlang and Pei Shengyue each killed one, leaving eight Divinity Transformation True Demons, transforming into ferocious and terrifying, tusked giant heads, roaring in all directions.

The Demon Cloud continually turned into hard spears, carrying a chilling cold air, raining down indiscriminately on the land like a storm.

Spears stacked like forests over a hundred miles, corpses lying everywhere, Demonic Qi rampant, blood rain and stench.

The overwhelming pressure of the Divinity Transformation True Demons obstructed the Spiritual Energy flow of the surrounding Nascent Soul Cultivators, as if bearing a mountain, unable to ascend over a hundred feet, only able to move swiftly in low altitudes to dodge.

Any injured would find numerous Demon Octopuses clinging like flesh-eating maggots, gnawing relentlessly, siphoning the Spiritual Energy within the cultivators, using Muddy Qi to corrupt the cultivators’ bodies.

Amidst the volleys of cannonfire, the mountains and fields were filled with Demonic forces. Rolling Demon Fog formed one giant encirclement, compressing inward relentlessly.

Everywhere, battles were furious, with figures like Ye Tianlang and Pei Shengyue, leaders of the Nascent Soul Stage from these Ten Great Powers, standing tall in mid-air, taking out their cache-hidden Acquired Spiritual Treasures, attacking the high-flying Divinity Transformation True Demons with all their might.

Another barrage of Demonic Qi spears broke through the wind imminently, Shi Yuming strode to the forefront of the three, arms trembling.

Immovable as a Mountain!

A magnificent mountain aura burst forth from Shi Yuming, as the Demonic Qi spears shattered upon impact, unable to breach the defense.

The towering figure shouted aloud, "You focus on slaying the enemy, leave the rest to me!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yuebai, Lu Nanzhi, and Xie Jingshan exchanged a glance and each unleashed their killing strokes, joining others in fiercely assaulting the Divinity Transformation True Demons in mid-air.
