Chapter 550: The Second Human-Demon War

Time was passing.

The four seasons were cycling.

In the blink of an eye, another year had passed.

"Happy New Year!"

Within the human race, there was laughter and joy.

Wishing the new year to be better than the old, this was everyone's greatest blessing for the new year.

However, the trees wanted to be still, but the wind would not cease.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year, the demon army had already quietly assembled.

Ever since Brother Lu Xuehai led the job changers of Immortal Gold City back to the northern battlefield, the pressure on Dongfang Su and the other Hidden Dragon Shadow Guards had greatly decreased.

Relying solely on the Butterfly Emperor and a Gold Emperor who had lost the Imperial Gold Spear, it was difficult to pose a major threat to the northern battlefield anymore.

Although the human and demon races were in constant conflict, it could be considered a back-and-forth battle.

It was just that today, there seemed to be some changes.

"Report!"

A scout of the Hidden Dragon Shadow Guards rushed to Dongfang Su in a panic.

"Lord Dongfang, the demon army has suddenly begun to approach us along the entire line! It seems they are about to launch a general offensive!"

"General offensive?"

Compared to a year ago, Dongfang Su's face had a bit more vicissitudes, and the baleful aura emanating from his body was extremely heavy, almost condensing into substance.

Clearly, in the past year, the number of demons and demonic beasts that died at Dongfang Su's hands was definitely not small.

Dongfang Su frowned; it wasn't as if the demons hadn't tried a large-scale attack in the past year.

But every time, the result was returning in defeat, suffering heavy losses.

Could it be that this time, the demons had some new methods?

Dongfang Su soon appeared on the front line of the battlefield, where Brother Lu Xuehai was already present.

It was just that Brother Lu Xuehai's expression at this moment was a bit off.

The demon army was advancing toward them in a mighty force; looking at it, demonic energy was surging into the sky, and there was no end in sight.

"Are these demon cubs restless again? It seems they really weren't hurt enough last time." Killing intent exploded in Dongfang Su's eyes.

"No... this time... it's a bit different." Brother Lu Xuehai's voice was somewhat hoarse.

"Hmm?" Dongfang Su narrowed his eyes.

"Look into the distance yourself; everyone in Xianhecheng has already written their wills to their families." Brother Lu Xuehai shook his head.

Dongfang Su was stunned by what he said, then immediately sensed toward the distance.

An even more massive demonic energy surged into the sky, as if they had directly entered the demon race's lair.

Dongfang Su's expression changed wildly; only then did he understand what Brother Lu Xuehai meant by saying everyone in Xianhecheng had written their wills.

The so-called demon army before them was clearly just a vanguard unit!

Behind them, there was an even more terrifying army like a vast ocean!

Even more terrifying was that Dongfang Su sensed an aura that even he feared.

That aura, Dongfang Su was very familiar with; it was the aura belonging to a Demon Emperor.

What horrified Dongfang Su even more was that there were ten such auras!

This meant that just in the northern battlefield alone, ten Demon Emperors had appeared, and the situation in the other three battlefields was unknown, but it was unlikely to be any better.

"So what the Human Emperor said... was all true..."

Dongfang Su's pupils shook violently.

When the Human Emperor left a year ago, he had reminded him that the demons would have a major move in a year, which might be a great terror beyond everyone's imagination.

Although Dongfang Su had tried his best to think of the worst, the difficulty of the situation still exceeded his expectations.

Ten Demon Emperors... with the existing strength of the northern battlefield, they couldn't stop them.

Dongfang Su took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became firm.

There was no retreat; there was only battle.

He reached out, gripped the battle blade in his hand, and intended to fight to the death.

Countless butterflies danced, covering the sky.

A humanoid creature appeared, and every step taken caused ripples in space.

His movements were calm and elegant; clearly a man, yet he was more beautiful than a woman.

The Butterfly Emperor appeared first, and every time the butterflies beside him flapped their wings, they would stir up a storm of demonic energy.

The other nine Demon Emperors appeared beside the Butterfly Emperor, their auras faintly even above the Butterfly Emperor!

"Dongfang Su, admit defeat; just like the first Human-Demon War, all your human race's high-end combat power will be washed away in blood." The Butterfly Emperor said coldly.

"Admit defeat? Just relying on you lot?"

The ancient battle blade in Dongfang Su's hand emitted a trembling sound, as if responding to the fighting spirit surging in its master's chest.

Facing the ten Demon Emperors, Dongfang Su did not retreat but advanced, walking toward the ten Demon Emperors step by step.

Every step taken, the aura on Dongfang Su's body became stronger, and a sound of raging fire burning echoed within his body; that was his life force passing away rapidly.

But Dongfang Su's expression was very calm, as if he didn't care at all that his life was about to come to an end.

"I am the first battle general of the Hidden Dragon Shadow Guards, Dongfang Su! You lot, come at me together."

Dongfang Su drew his ancient battle blade, his eyes filled with no fear, only an extreme desire for battle.

The ten Demon Emperors led by the Butterfly Emperor couldn't help but be stunned upon hearing this.

Was this human crazy? One against ten, and he dared to let them all come together?

Did he really think Demon Emperors were easy to deal with?

For a moment, they didn't know whether to praise Dongfang Su for his courage or for losing his mind.

Seeing that the ten Demon Emperors didn't move, Dongfang Su actually took the initiative to rush toward them.

"Today, I slay emperors!"

Clang!

A crisp sound of a blade echoed through the sky, clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

Dongfang Su rushed toward the Demon Emperors with his blade like a moth to a flame.

Blade Qi crisscrossed, blade intent opened the sky.

This terrifying blade that spanned ancient and modern times enveloped all ten Demon Emperors.

"Lord Dongfang!"

Within the Hidden Dragon Shadow Guards, many people's eyes turned red instantly.

They all knew very well that no matter who won this battle, Dongfang Su would never be able to return.

His life force had burned to the limit; even if the Demon Emperors didn't kill him, he only had a few hours of life left.

"One-on-one, perhaps we really are no match for you, but you are actually stupid enough to want to fight ten alone; I think you are seeking your own death."

One of the Demon Emperors sneered, not intimidated by Dongfang Su, and with a wave of his hand, terrifying power surged between his palms.

"Destructive Demon Light!"

Bizarre, colorful brilliance swept toward Dongfang Su to annihilate him, yet Dongfang Su didn't dodge at all; after hard-carrying a full-strength blow from this Demon Emperor, the ancient battle blade in his hand slashed out fiercely, and a snow-white blade light flashed and vanished.

Dongfang Su was instantly blasted away, blood spurting wildly from his mouth, and his chest was dented at a bizarre angle, clearly having suffered heavy injuries.

But flying up with him was the head of that Demon Emperor.

That blade of his just now was a desperate strike that only attacked and didn't defend!

This scene left everyone present in horror, clearly not expecting Dongfang Su to be so ruthless, fighting to such an extent.

If he hadn't grasped the timing just now, he might have been killed in seconds by the Demon Emperor!

Dongfang Su used his ancient battle blade to prop up his body; at this moment, although he was already severely injured, he had a unique aura that suppressed the heavens, making the remaining nine Demon Emperors reveal looks of wariness.

"He is the first; who wants to be the second?" ===== CHAPTER 551 =====
