Chapter 1241: Where's my support?

~7 min read 1,367 words

Upon hearing Ye Zhangqing say this, that the Demon Emperor personally came to save himself, Bei Zun immediately panicked.

As a defeated general, what merit do I have to let the Demon Emperor personally act?

For a moment, Bei Zun was moved to tears, while frantically striking the formation, trying to break out.

The Demon Emperor has shown him such great kindness; how could he let the Demon Emperor be disappointed again?

"Human, let me out, or else when the Demon Emperor arrives, you will all die."

"Quickly let me out."

"Human, as long as you let me out, I guarantee to spare your life."

While frantically striking the formation and shouting angrily, unfortunately, Bei Zun, whose cultivation was sealed, could not inflict the slightest damage on the formation.

And Ye Zhangqing paid no attention to his words at all.

Let him out? How could that be possible? Besides, we don't even know if the Demon Emperor will come.

He simply chose to ignore it, but Bei Zun still did not give up; the Demon Emperor's kindness to him was as heavy as a mountain, so even with his cultivation sealed, he would exert all his strength to meet with the Demon Emperor.

Bei Zun only thought that Bo Xun had come to save him, and he was deeply moved.

But he didn't know that Bo Xun never intended to save him; even seeing him, the first thing likely would be to kill him.

After all, this guy is now the disgrace of the Demon Tribe, a traitor to the Demon Tribe, a coward who led hundreds of thousands of Demon Tribe warriors to surrender.

For such a person, not killing him but saving him—how could that be possible?

Bei Zun didn't know any of this, nor did he know the battle then taking place on the front lines.

On the five battlefields, the Demon Tribe's offensives were not going well, but the other four battlefields at this time were unaware of Bo Xun's situation.

After all, they were not on the same battlefield and had not seen Bo Xun's miserable state at this moment.

According to the original plan, Bo Xun would join a battlefield, seize control of it with thunderous speed, cripple the Haotu World, and then support the other battlefields.

At this moment, the battlefield nearest to Bo Xun is also the one he was scheduled to support first in the plan.

The two Demon God Kings in charge of this battlefield were locked in fierce combat with Shi Qingfeng and the Barbarian Tribe's First Elder.

They all had Great Emperor Realm Perfection cultivation, and from the start of the clash to now, they have been evenly matched.

For a moment, none could gain the upper hand over another.

At the beginning, the two Demon God Kings were not panicking at all; their task was simply to hold the situation and wait for the Demon Emperor's support.

As long as the Demon Emperor stabilizes the situation on another battlefield, he will come to support them immediately.

Then, with the Demon Emperor's help, slaying these Great Emperor Elders of the Haotu World would naturally tip the battle in their favor.

Therefore, the two Demon God Kings fought with full confidence and did not mind failing to suppress Shi Qingfeng and the Barbarian Tribe's First Elder.

However, as time passed, the two Demon God Kings gradually sensed something was off.

First, the Demon Tribe below, facing the Haotu World's various strong warriors, seemed to be gradually suppressed.

The key reason was those humans, with their great hooks not to mention, and their various other means were impossible to defend against.

Although it has not yet reached the point of affecting the battle situation, the Haotu World side is indeed gradually gaining the advantage.

This made the two Demon God Kings a little anxious, but they could still hold steady.

After all, this slight disadvantage is still under control; as long as we wait for the Demon Emperor to arrive, we can instantly turn the tide, so there's no need to panic.

But such a mindset could not be maintained for long; as Bai Zu slew his opponent and the first Demon God of the Demon Tribe fell, the two Demon God Kings could no longer sit still.

One could see that this Demon God fighting Bai Zu had been completely suppressed from the very start.

"Old thing, you really know how to pick opponents."

This Demon God, in terms of cultivation, is roughly at the Great Emperor Realm Minor Completion level, while Bai Zu possesses Great Emperor Realm Major Completion cultivation.

Having the advantage in cultivation, as soon as they engaged, Bai Zu firmly controlled the fight.

Regarding this, Shi Qingfeng was inwardly displeased: "You damn Great Emperor Realm Major Completion, why pick a Great Emperor Realm Minor Completion Demon God to fight?"

"Like an old lady picking persimmons, you only go for the soft ones to pinch?"

Yet, given the cultivation gap, Bai Zu's offensive was extremely fierce.

At first this Demon God could still block one or two attacks, but as time passed, Bai Zu's assault became increasingly difficult to withstand.

His wounds kept healing, but later the speed slowed down, resulting in many more wounds appearing on his body.

He no longer had the strength to quickly recover from his injuries.

His left arm was also severed by Bai Zu's sword and has not recovered to this day.

With the severed arm, this Demon God's combat power was further weakened, making it even harder to persist.

Meanwhile, Bai Zu seized the opportunity, slashing out with his sword, and this Demon God still tried to block it.

Facing that terrifying blade, although he exerted all his might, he successfully blocked the first strike.

But the second strike that followed immediately, this Demon God ultimately could not block.

Pierced through the chest by a sword, even if he used his last strength to stabilize the wound, it was already too late.

Bai Zu did not give him a chance, launching another sword strike.

This time, although this Demon God had cultivation comparable to Great Emperor Realm Minor Completion, at the limit his entire vitality was exhausted, and he ultimately died under Bai Zu's sword.

By now, the first Demon God has fallen in battle, and its impact on the situation cannot be underestimated.

After all, this is no ordinary Demon Tribe member; the number of Demon Gods under Bo Xun's command is also extremely limited.

Moreover, losing a Demon God is equivalent to the Haotu World gaining an unrestricted Great Emperor Elder.

Just like now, after slaying this Demon God, Bai Zu immediately rushed toward an adjacent battlefield.

Cooperating with a Stone Tribe Elder, they began to jointly encircle and attack another Demon God.

The original balance was instantly broken by Bai Zu's addition.

One-on-one, this Demon God could still fight evenly with that Stone Tribe Elder, neither gaining an advantage, nor could either overcome the other.

But once it became a two-on-one, this Demon God was instantly suppressed; under the combined encirclement of Bai Zu and the Stone Tribe Elder, it immediately became perilous and hard to sustain.

It's obvious without thinking; if this continues, killing this demon god is only a matter of time.

And the final outcome will only be one thing: the gap between the two sides will keep growing.

It's like a snowball, starting from the gap of a single demon god, then gradually becoming two, three, and eventually controlling the entire battlefield.

But right now, the two demon god kings have no way either; Shi Qingfeng and the Barbarian Tribe's First Ancestor simply don't give them any chance to act.

They don't even dare to lose focus; if they do, they're likely to be successfully ambushed by Shi Qingfeng and another.

The longer they fight, the more helpless they feel, and the two demon god kings are also puzzled in their hearts.

What about my support?

The promised support hasn't arrived yet; with the Demon Emperor's strength, he should have already settled matters over there and come to help, but there's been no sign at all—not even a shadow.
