Chapter 247 - 215: Red Cloud Chaos, Part 2

Chapter 247: Chapter 215: Red Cloud Chaos, Part 2

Standing before the grand hall, Xu Chang’an felt the entire Red Cloud Mountain shudder.

"Consider yourself lucky!"

With that parting shot, the Red Crocodile Demon King transformed into a fiery red streak of light and shot toward the horizon.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A few more massive explosions followed.

The halo of light from Red Cloud Mountain’s Mountain Protection Array pulsed, flickering frantically at an alarming rate.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

It wasn’t just the native demons of Red Cloud Mountain anymore. Sensing that something was terribly wrong, guest demons and even Quasi-Demon Kings from various top factions also transformed into streaks of light and fled into the sky.

"The Human Race is attacking!"

A heaven-shaking roar came from the horizon. Judging by the voice, it belonged to the Sihorn Demon King.

"The Human Race is attacking! The ones attacking from outside are Cultivators!?"

"Human Race Cultivators? How is that possible! This is Red Cloud Mountain, the heart of the Red Cloud Mountain Range!"

"..."

A figure large enough to blot out the sky appeared in the far distance.

"It’s the Sihorn Demon King!"

BOOM!

Another strike landed!

BZZZZ—

The light of Red Cloud Mountain’s Protection Array flashed repeatedly, as if it had surpassed its limit. The light at several nodes within the array began to dim.

"This is bad!"

"The Mountain Protection Array isn’t going to hold!"

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Many Great Demons no longer cared about Red Cloud Mountain’s no-fly restriction, transforming into streaks of light and shooting into the sky.

"Yanyue True Monarch!"

"No, impossible!"

With a guttural scream, the distant behemoth in the sky splattered blood, fell from the air, and crashed to the ground.

"The Sihorn Demon King!"

"How is this possible! How did Yanyue True Monarch get past Thundering Mountain!?"

"Damn it!"

The entirety of Red Cloud Mountain was thrown into chaos!

’The Human Race is attacking?’

Xu Chang’an watched the demons scrambling in chaos, a hint of surprise on his face.

’Red Cloud Mountain is thousands of miles from the nearest border of human territory. How did the Human Race Cultivators cross such a vast distance to launch a surprise attack on Red Cloud Mountain without being discovered!?’

’And Yanyue True Monarch!’

’The Yanyue Sect’s only Nascent Soul Ancestor!’

’Isn’t he supposed to be under constant watch by the two Unparalleled Demon Kings of Thundering Mountain!?’

’Why would he suddenly appear in Red Cloud Mountain’s territory!?’

’And now he’s leading a full-scale assault on the mountain!’

Xu Chang’an was filled with questions, but he didn’t dwell on them.

The most important thing right now wasn’t to figure out the reason, but to get away—fast!

This sudden attack by the Human Race was clearly planned long in advance; they wouldn’t be pulling any punches.

Even if Red Cloud Mountain managed to survive this, it would undoubtedly suffer a devastating blow.

SWOOSH!

Xu Chang’an’s figure flickered, and he appeared on the Floating Jade Platform.

With Red Cloud Mountain in utter chaos, no demon paid him any mind.

He looked at the peerless beauty before him and spoke slowly with a smile.

"Miss Yu, are you ready to leave with me now?"

BOOM!

A continuous series of massive explosions echoed through the air.

Spiritual Qi surged, roiling violently!

The white clouds in the sky were blasted away by the immense shockwaves, leaving a patch of empty blue.

On the distant horizon, all sorts of Magic and Magical Treasures relentlessly bombarded the Mountain Protection Array.

Thunderbolts, flames, storms, longswords, palm fans, jade flutes...

BOOM!

A colossal phantom image resembling a duster slammed into the Mountain Protection Array.

The mountain range trembled, and the ground quaked violently.

The intense bombardment sent rubble tumbling down the faces of many peaks.

BZZZ! BZZZ! BZZZ!

The Array Restrictions reinforcing the halls and cave residences flashed wildly as they resisted the shockwaves.

Yu Ruyan looked at Xu Chang’an, clenched her jaw, and extended her fair hand.

Xu Chang’an smiled faintly, took her hand, and led Yu Ruyan off the Floating Jade Platform.

BOOM!

Outside Red Cloud Mountain, the colossal duster phantom erupted with a brilliant radiance. It was as gentle as moonlight, yet it was also incomparably powerful and all-pervasive.

The duster struck the Mountain Protection Array of Red Cloud Mountain.

The great array shuddered violently, its light flickering.

CRACK! CRACK!

Light flowed through the array, linking its various points to resist the incomparably powerful external assault.

But several nodes within the array surpassed their limits, and their already dim light was instantly extinguished.

FZZT—

More and more points of light began to die out!

And then...

The Mountain Protection Array shattered!

"The array is broken! The array is broken!"

"Damn it!"

"Damn it all, how could it break so quickly!"

"Human Race Cultivators! It’s all Human Race Cultivators!"

"How is this possible!"

"AHH!"

"..."

Red Cloud Mountain descended into absolute chaos, an exceptionally discordant cacophony of voices rising from all corners.

In the distant sky, a battle of unimaginable scale had already erupted.

The Red Snake Demon King, the Yellow Wind Demon King, the Red Crocodile Demon King, the Red Flame Demon King, and the Quasi-Demon Kings from numerous factions were all engaged.

In this great battle, even top-tier Great Demons could only play a supporting role.

The Red Snake Demon King revealed his true form, hundreds of yards long, and used a Top-Grade Magical Treasure resembling a Scale Armor Cloak to tie down several late-stage Core Formation Human Race Cultivators.

Although the Red Snake Demon King’s Top-Grade Magical Treasure was primarily for defense, when combined with his immense Red Snake true form, it still possessed an extremely strong Power of Slaughter and boundless might!

But at this moment, that boundless might did not give him much confidence.

His heart was trembling uncontrollably.

’Yanyue True Monarch of the Yanyue Sect, leading dozens of Core Formation Cultivators in a surprise attack on Red Cloud Mountain!’

’How could Red Cloud Mountain’s mere five Demon Kings—no, four Demon Kings—possibly resist!?’

’The Sihorn Demon King, who had been maintaining the array, was already severely wounded. The moment the array broke, he was killed in the ensuing chaos!’

"Damn it! Damn it all! What the hell are the Demon Kings on Thundering Mountain doing! How did so many Core Formation Cultivators get past all the security, assemble together, and launch a surprise attack on Red Cloud Mountain!"

The Yellow Wind Demon King, wielding his magical treasure, the Smoke and Cloud Barrier, was locked in battle with two Core Formation Cultivators.

In terms of the number of Demon Kings on the field, Red Cloud Mountain was at a massive disadvantage.

Basically, every Demon King had to fight several Core Formation Zhenren of the same realm.

The Red Crocodile Demon King, the Red Cloud Demon King, and the many Quasi-Demon Kings were all in the same predicament!

The remaining Human Race Core Formation Zhenren transformed into streaks of light, wielding their magical treasures as they charged into Red Cloud Mountain to begin the slaughter!

It was a massacre!

A massacre aimed at Red Cloud Mountain!

Just like when Red Cloud Mountain had led the numerous factions of the Red Cloud Mountain Range to charge into the human heartlands and slaughter the Human Race!

"My Red Cloud Mountain’s legacy of over ten thousand years!"

The Red Snake Demon King’s eyes were bloodshot. His Demon Power erupted with overwhelming force!

BOOM!

This overwhelming display didn’t last long before a late-stage Core Formation True Man used a magical treasure to shatter his Protective Demon Power.

Another late-stage Core Formation True Man seized the opportunity, striking with a Vajra Pestle-like magical treasure that sent the Red Snake Demon King flying for thousands of yards!

"Run! Find any way you can to get out!"

The Red Snake Demon King shouted, his voice transmitted via his Demon Sense.

The expressions on the faces of the many Demon Kings and Quasi-Demon Kings present turned grim.

’Run!?’

’Where can we run!?’

In the sky, a milky-white barrier of light enveloped the entire Red Cloud Mountain. It looked immaculate, existing in silence, yet its presence intimidated all.

On a path winding down Red Cloud Mountain, Xu Chang’an was fleeing rapidly with Yu Ruyan.

Before, they had been Flying in the Sky. But once the Mountain Protection Array was broken, Xu Chang’an gave up on flying and switched to escaping on foot.

’The fact that Red Cloud Mountain’s array was broken so quickly meant the Human Race Cultivators were even stronger than he had imagined.’

’Red Cloud Mountain was undoubtedly at a complete and utter disadvantage.’

’If he continued Flying in the Sky with Yu Ruyan, they would be far too conspicuous and would undoubtedly attract the attention of numerous Human Race Cultivators.’

THUD!

A silvery-white Wolf Demon dozens of yards in size collapsed into a pool of its own blood.

"Red Cloud Mountain, you dared to trespass against my Human Race! Today, you will pay your blood debt in blood!"

In the sky, a Human Race True Man with white hair and a white beard at the mid-stage of Core Formation wore an expression of deep-seated hatred.

During the demons’ previous invasion into the human heartlands, many sects and families had been annihilated!

The younger generation of his own family had been slaughtered by the demons of Red Cloud Mountain.

He harbored an irreconcilable hatred for the demons of the Red Cloud Mountain Range!

Today, his vengeance would begin with Red Cloud Mountain!

The combat power of a Core Formation Zhenren far surpassed that of a Foundation Establishment Great Demon. In just a short while, this single True Man had already killed seven or eight Great Demons.

The attack had been too sudden, the Mountain Protection Array broken in an instant. The Great Demons of Red Cloud Mountain were all in a state of panic, scattering like headless flies, desperately trying to escape.

But with Red Cloud Mountain enveloped by a human containment magical treasure, how could they possibly escape!?

The demons of Red Cloud Mountain were trapped like turtles in a jar!
