Chapter 1994: Sneaking In

Half a quarter of an hour later, a long roar suddenly erupted in the dense forest near the demon fortress, and a piece of emerald light flashed. More than a hundred giant wooden men, dozens of zhang high, emerged from the forest out of thin air and rushed toward the fortress like flying.

Following these giants, thousands of Wood Clan people also surged out, stepping on various flying magic tools.

Emerald wooden spears and bows appeared in their hands one after another. With a wave, countless emerald lights shot toward the fortress densely.

Whether it was wooden spears or arrows, they expanded several times in size the moment they left their hands.

The defensive light curtain of the demon fortress suddenly erupted with countless dazzling light clusters, and continuous loud noises were emitted.

At this time, those hundred giant wooden men also rushed to the front of the fortress, their hands shaking, directly turning into giant iron hammers flashing with white light, and struck the light curtain wildly.

A "Chi La" sound rang out!

Under a violent shake, the fortress light curtain shattered inch by inch after a while.

The whole process lasted only a few breaths. The ordinary demons on the city walls reacted, and sharp warning cries rose and fell everywhere on the city walls. Pieces of black light also spilled down from the city walls, covering the Wood Clan below like rain.

For a time, a fierce battle broke out in front of the fortress.

Under the flashing of black light and emerald light, a huge light net was woven above the fortress, roaring and flashing non-stop.

Those giant wooden men looked a bit clumsy, but each of them was harder than steel. Ordinary demon attacks hit them, only leaving some shallow pits and marks, unable to truly hurt them at all.

After a while, they were the first to hit giant gaps in the city walls and rushed in without fear.

These wooden men seemed to have natural giant strength. As the giant hammers transformed by their hands danced, all the demons blocking in front were sent flying with blood and flesh, leading other Wood Clan people to rush into the demon crowd in one breath.

However, this move also angered the high-tier existences among the demons. With a loud shout from a high-tier demon, low roars came from several giant buildings in the fortress, and more than a dozen rhinoceros demon beasts rushed out.

These super demon beasts had bloodshot eyes and opened their mouths, spraying white misty light pillars, which flashed and hit these wooden giants.

Suddenly, more than a dozen wooden men stumbled and almost fell to the ground!

Where they were hit by the light pillars, there were charred holes.

The next moment, other wooden giants rushed toward these giant beasts with clenched fists.

These super demon beasts were not to be outdone, lowering their heads and turning into a gust of wind to pounce, instantly fighting with the hundred wooden giants.

Amidst the deafening roars, the two sides were evenly matched for a time.

At the same time, in the high sky thousands of zhang above the ground, the Wood Clan old man and the middle-aged man and woman were confronting four red-armored demons.

"Hmph, I said how your courage became so big, so you invited reinforcements. But this is also good. If we kill this old guy, I think there will be no higher-tier Wood Clan members nearby." A high-tier demon who was covered in black hair, looking like a giant bear, scanned the old man and said with a ferocious look, not only not panicking, but revealing a trace of cruelty.

Hearing this, the Wood Clan man and woman's faces changed slightly, but the old man's expression remained unchanged, instead replying faintly:

"Just relying on you few Spirit Transformation levels! Your tone is too big. Let this old man weigh your supernatural powers properly."

"If those four don't work, what about me?"

With a loud "Boom", space fluctuations arose, and a black shadow appeared in the middle of the four high-tier demons, looking coldly at the opposite side.

It was a soap-robed man with a cold face and two horns on his head, with a pair of triangular small eyes emitting a trace of cruelty.

The Wood Clan old man scanned with divine sense and felt his heart sink.

This newly appeared high-tier demon was actually a late-stage Void Refinement existence, two stages higher than his early-stage Void Refinement realm. He was 80-90% likely not an opponent.

That pair of Wood Clan man and woman, although they couldn't feel the specific cultivation of the demon man, could also feel that his aura was several points stronger than the old man's, and their faces became extremely ugly.

"Patrol Envoy, fortunately you arrived here. Otherwise, there would really be big trouble. These few Wood Clan people are the leaders of the resistance forces nearby, and I have to trouble you to help." The bear-like demon bowed respectfully to the soap-robed man and said.

"Hehe, it's just these three guys. With such cultivation, this seat can destroy them all with one hand. Don't worry, since I met them, I naturally won't let them run away." The two-horned man laughed wildly, his face full of disdain.

"Two Fellow Daoists, the situation is not right! I will try my best to entangle this old demon for a while, you immediately lead others to retreat, run as many as you can!" The Wood Clan old man took a deep breath, barely suppressing the horror in his heart, and transmitted his voice to the man and woman.

"Bamboo Old, you must not fight this old demon hard. If there is a chance later, you must also retreat." The Wood Clan man and woman heard this, their hearts chilled, and the man hurriedly transmitted his voice to urge.

The old man nodded solemnly, said nothing more, but moved his sleeves, and more than a dozen green wooden balls flew out. After a flash, they turned into dense green light clusters and shot toward the five demons, covering them all.

"Looking for death!"

The soap-robed demon's face turned cold. With a loud shout, red light flourished on the two horns, and countless red threads sprayed out, each hitting all the green light clusters accurately and piercing through them in a flash.

But before a smile could appear on this demon's face, a crisp sound like porcelain breaking came!

All the green light clusters burst open at the same time, emitting dazzling spiritual light.

For a time, the five demons, including the soap-robed demon, felt pain in their eyes and closed them one after another.

Taking this opportunity, the pair of Wood Clan man and woman blurred and turned into two green rainbows, shooting toward the rear, while two long roars, one hard and one soft, were emitted from their mouths.

The five demons were only stunned for an instant, and after a while, they returned to normal. Seeing this scene, they were naturally furious.

"I want to tear you into pieces and extract your soul to refine it. You four chase those two guys back, this old guy will be handled by this seat personally." The soap-robed man roared, rubbed his hands together, and strands of pitch-black demonic Qi emerged from his body. After circling and condensing, a two-headed demon image vaguely formed.

This demon image was blurry and unclear, and could only be seen roughly, but after a strange humming sound, the demon image pounced on the old man opposite.

The Wood Clan old man was calm, opening his mouth to spit out several yellow bamboo-like yellow sword lights, turning into a sword curtain to protect himself, looking like he was not seeking merit but only seeking to avoid mistakes.

Although the demon image was fierce and had the upper hand as soon as it touched the sword light, it couldn't break through the sword light to kill the old man immediately.

The other four Spirit Transformation level demons saw this scene, hesitated for a moment, and turned into strands of black wind, chasing after the two green rainbows that had gone far away.

At the same time, the thousands of Wood Clan people who were attacking heard the two long roars, first revealing a look of surprise, but then changed their flight direction without hesitation and retreated.

But this time, the demons were unwilling to let these Wood Clan people leave easily, and they issued strange cries, rushing out of the fortress and chasing after these Wood Clan people in black.

The hundred giant wooden men were entangled by those giant demon rhinoceroses and couldn't break free at all.

Inside and outside the demon fortress, it was a mess for a time.

No one noticed that, taking advantage of the chaos below, a faint green shadow appeared in the "node" in the high sky of ten thousand zhang, and the light converged, revealing its original form.

It was Han Li who had performed the concealment escape technique.

This node was covered by a layer of pitch-black demonic Qi, and more than a hundred armed demons were guarding the edge of the demonic Qi on a dozen war boats.

They were clearly much more elite than the demons in the fortress below and had no reaction to the battle below, always guarding there solemnly.

Now, these demons were shocked to see an outsider appear in front of them.

But before they could react, Han Li just shook his sleeves, and dozens of green small swords flew out. After a blur, they turned into hundreds of green threads, crossing the void and disappearing.

The next moment, these demons and the war boats were instantly smashed into pieces by the green sword threads.

At this time, Han Li opened his mouth again, and a ball of silver flames sprayed out, bursting on its own and shooting toward the sky like countless silver flowers.

The demon and war boat wreckage stained by these silver flames instantly disappeared into the air.

Han Li then pinched a magic formula with one hand, and layers of five-colored gray rays emerged on his body. With a move, he flashed directly into the rolling demonic Qi.

Strangely, the demonic Qi, which seemed to be some kind of prohibition, touched the gray rays on Han Li's body and dissipated one after another.

In the blink of an eye, Han Li pierced through the demonic Qi, and the demon "node" about a mu in size appeared in front of him.

This node was pitch-black, and from time to time, bursts of demonic Qi rolled out.

Han Li looked at this scene, his expression moved, and he revealed a solemn expression for the first time, but after pondering for a while, he suddenly gritted his teeth and patted his body with one hand.

Black Qi rolled on his body, and a simple-looking demonic armor appeared on him.

Under his urging, countless black runes surged out from the armor, wrapping his body completely.

Han Li suddenly rolled on the ground, his body releasing gorgeous rays of light, turning into a giant heavenly phoenix with five-colored long feathers.

This heavenly phoenix emitted an extremely majestic aura. With a flash of its wings, the nearby void fluctuated slightly, and the black wind blowing toward it dissipated.

The giant heavenly phoenix moved and threw itself into the giant black hole.
