Chapter 1265: with translation of chapter title

Dongfang Hong was even more worried about Yun Xiantai, afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold out and would be killed by them; then he alone wouldn't have confidence to deal with two demon emperors.

In the battle, Dongfang Hong diverted some of his attention to check the situation on Yun Xiantai's side.

Just that glance left Dongfang Hong dazed.

All that could be seen was that the demon emperor fighting Yun Xiantai now had formations and talisman seals all around him.

Although these formations and talisman seals were utterly incapable of delivering a fatal blow to that demon emperor, they nevertheless annoyed him to no end.

Every time he tried to attack Yun Xiantai, the next second he would be trapped by the formations and talisman seals.

Although it was only a few breaths' time, that brief pause allowed Yun Xiantai to escape.

Moreover, Yun Xiantai could seize that instant to launch a counterattack against that demon emperor.

So, for a moment it appeared that Yun Xiantai held the advantage on the battlefield, which was absurd.

Of course, that was only superficial; in reality the demon emperor had suffered no injury, merely pure irritation, roaring repeatedly.

Although I couldn't understand what the demon emperor was shouting, I could guess he was swearing profusely.

But Yun Xiantai paid no attention to it at all.

I, a person who has just broken through to the Emperor Sovereign Realm, am not foolish enough to go head‑to‑head with you; naturally I need to employ some strategy, ah!

Actually, at the beginning Yun Xiantai had tested the difference in strength between the two sides.

After exchanging a single hard blow with that demon emperor, Yun Xiantai immediately made up his mind.

We can't go head‑to‑head with this damned thing; we must resort to strategy.

Therefore, starting from that first clash, Yun Xiantai began to play a strategic game, using talisman seals, formations, and his own movement technique, constantly winding and entangling, in short avoiding any direct confrontation with that demon emperor.

Worth noting is that, although Yun Xiantai's cultivation lags behind that demon emperor, his movement technique still holds an advantage.

Perhaps it's because that demon emperor is inherently unskilled in movement technique, relying instead on thick skin and tough flesh.

And as an elder of the Dao Yi Shengdi, movement technique has long been a required course.

Looking over the entire Dao Yi Shengdi, there is no one with weak movement technique; this is forged daily through blood and tears.

After fighting to this point, not a single hair of Yun Xiantai has been touched, and the fury in that demon emperor's eyes has already erupted.

But no matter how hard he tries, he simply can't catch up to Yun Xiantai, and from time to time he still gets counterattacked.

Seeing Yun Xiantai fight without losing the slightest bit of momentum, Dongfang Hong was stunned for a moment, then his heart settled.

As long as Yun Xiantai can hold out, his side won't have any problems in the short term.

Even if he isn't a match for that demon emperor, he can still endure.

Weren't we just escaping from the Dongfang Family in this very way? Moreover, Yun Xiantai's fighting style has also pointed out a clear path for him.

Talisman seals and formations—these are good stuff; we need to put them to use, ah!

Dongfang Hong followed the gourd's example, imitating Yun Xiantai, and began to employ formations and talisman seals.

Although his technique is far inferior to Yun Xiantai's, it still has some effect.

This made the demon emperor he was fighting furious, as if he wanted to tear Dongfang Hong apart limb from limb.

These despicable humans practically deserve death; they dare not fight openly with real weapons, resorting only to these crooked ways, relying on external objects.

Yun Xiantai and Dongfang Hong have steadied themselves, and the battle below is also evenly matched.

After all, this time the two great demon emperors were merely making a feint attack, naturally not exerting their full strength, and their subordinate demon‑race powerhouses did not all appear.

In the Haotu Shijie, we still have ways to cope.

At this moment, on the battlefield where Ye Zhangqing is, Bai Hua Xianzi, Jueying, Chiliao, and four others have also joined the fight.

Ye Zhangqing easily slew several demon‑race food materials and felt no pressure.

Knowing the weaknesses of these food materials inside out, the combat is twice as effective with half the effort.

Just as Ye Zhangqing had finished beheading a demon‑race food material, he turned his head and happened to see Dongfang Bai in a perilous situation.

Dongfang Bai and the other members of the Dongfang Family also participated in the battle.

At this moment, Dongfang Bai was locked in a fierce battle with a demon god, having been completely suppressed and seemingly on the verge of death and disappearance.

Without further thought, Ye Zhangqing leapt up, and when that demon god threw a punch, Ye Zhangqing blocked its advance with a sword, shielding Dongfang Bai behind him.

"Thank you."

Just now, Dongfang Bai himself felt a surge of despair.

This demon god is not an ordinary demon god, but a heavenly pride of the demon race.

Though young, he already possesses demon‑god cultivation, and his combat strength far surpasses that of ordinary demon gods.

Given Dongfang Bai's strength, it is naturally difficult to deal with.

Feeling grateful, Dongfang Bai said thanks to Ye Zhangqing; hearing this, Ye Zhangqing replied indifferently.

"It's fine, isn't it?"

"No problem."

"Leave it to me to deal with; you go handle the other food materials."

"This...... he is a demon‑race heavenly pride, his strength is great; can you manage?"

"Demon‑race heavenly pride?"

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing examined the demon god before him with interest.

From appearance, Ye Zhangqing could not discern any age of the demon race; no matter how you look, they all seem the same, damn it.

However, that abundant vitality cannot be faked, and the arrogance in his eyes shoots straight up to the heavens.

This is still Ye Zhangqing's first time seeing a heavenly pride of the Zhu Tian Wan Jie.

Dongfang Bai doesn't count; at most he can be considered a genius.

According to Dongfang Bai's introduction to Ye Zhangqing, in the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, those who can be called heavenly pride are subject to extremely stringent criteria.

It's not just a matter of your talent, physique, and so on; it also includes whether the foundation of each cultivation realm is solid, the strength of your combat power, and various other aspects.

Of course, there is also the cultivation realm.

To become a Top Prodigy, at least one must have the cultivation of a Great Saint.

In the entire Zhu Tian Wan Jie, Heavenly Prides are not few, but this is based on the number of countless sentient beings; actually, looking purely at proportion, it is extremely low.

Among hundreds of millions of sentient beings, having a Top Prodigy is already quite good.

Ye Zhangqing was sizing up this Demon God, and this Demon God was likewise sizing up Ye Zhangqing.

Because he did not restrain his own aura, the Demon God could easily see his cultivation realm.

At the entry level of the Great Saint Realm, with the same cultivation as himself, moreover, his aura was mighty and pure, without any frivolity, showing that his foundation was also extraordinarily solid.

Most importantly, the instinct of this Demon race Heavenly Pride told him that the human before him was definitely not older than himself, and they were peers.

This is interesting, have I encountered a Human Race Top Prodigy?

Killing ordinary Human Race members is meaningless, but if it is a Human Race Top Prodigy, then it's different.

"I didn't expect that in a closed world, one could still give birth to someone like you, a Top Prodigy; it seems my Demon race's understanding of your Haotu Shijie is still too little."

His battle spirit surged in his heart, and his words carried a hint of eagerness to try.
