Chapter 727: How did the gate close?

Originally, seeing the city gate open, the many demon beasts were excited beyond measure, and shouts of killing rose to the heavens.

Ten Thousand Demon Pass—ah, it had barred the Demon Race for so many years—now finally it's about to fall?

And each of the demon beasts present will become a great hero of the Demon Race.

With a shout from the Red Dragon Demon Emperor, the many demon beasts charged into the city heedless of death, their eyes flashing with excitement.

As long as we take the Ten Thousand Demon Pass, it's as good as having countless flesh and blood to feed on.

And in order to seize the city gate at once, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor naturally led some demon emperors and demon kings, charging into the city first.

Everything had seemed normal at first, but after the Red Dragon Demon Emperor, those demon emperors and demon kings entered the city.

Before the other demon beasts could react, with a boom, the gate was shut.

"Holy shit, how did the gate get closed?"

Some demon beasts that had just rushed to outside the gate saw this scene, each standing frozen in place—this isn't what we agreed on, damn it!

Not only was the gate closed, but the formation was reactivated as well, turning the whole Ten Thousand Demon Pass into an impregnable turtle shell.

The demon beasts before the gate looked at each other, bewildered, while those behind, unaware of the truth, shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Holy shit, what are you standing there for? Charge in!"

"Yeah, hurry into the city, don't block the way."

More and more demon beasts piled up at the gate, while those in front were on the verge of tears.

"Damn it, if there were a way, I'd have gone in already—why am I standing here? Something's off, this really isn't right."

Until a crowd of demon emperors arrived, looking at the tightly shut gate, their faces grim, when one demon emperor suddenly realized and roared in anger.

"Despicable humans, we've been tricked."

"What trick?"

"This is purely a human ruse; the demon emperor is now trapped inside the city, in danger."

"Damn it."

These humans never intended to cooperate from the start; their target is the Red Dragon Demon Emperor.

In an instant, the demon beasts outside the city were utterly enraged, launching a frenzied attack—but sadly, the Ten Thousand Demon Pass stood firm despite their assault.

Meanwhile, on the city walls, the many cultivators who had been ready also began their counterattack.

Don't look down on them as timid; for such matters, they are extremely familiar.

After all, they've had plenty of dealings with demon beasts; relying on the Ten Thousand Demon Pass to fend off demon attacks is practically routine.

When have these demon beasts ever succeeded?

"Damn it, despicable humans, release the Red Dragon Demon Emperor."

"Make that Heaven‑Uplifting Shèngzhǔ, that despicable wretch, come out."

Facing the counterattack of the human cultivators on the city walls, the demon beasts suffered heavy casualties, yet they had no intention of retreating; the leading demon emperors roared.

They even believed that the Heaven‑Uplifting Shèngzhǔ must be inside the city right now, just waiting for the Red Dragon Demon Emperor to deliver himself.

But facing the demon emperors' roars, the human cultivators on the city walls each wore a strange expression.

"Good grief, the Heaven‑Uplifting Shèngzhǔ is sincerely allied with you—too bad……

But such words could never be said to the demon beasts, so the cultivators paid no heed, focusing only on defending.

As for inside the city, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor and his companions have already gone all‑out against the Dao Yi Sect members.

Yu Mo, Wang Man, and Yuan Cang surrounded the Red Dragon Demon Emperor, with Yu Mo taking the lead while Wang Man and Yuan Cang looked for openings on the side.

"Damn it, do you think you can take down this emperor just like that? Who do you think I am? Die!"

Having been fiercely schemed against, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor burned with rage and roared angrily, yet he had not lost his reason; on the contrary, he remained calm.

The most pressing matter now is how to escape.

From the very start, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor had his eyes on Wang Man and Yuan Cang.

Yu Mo is of great emperor cultivation, hard to kill; by comparison, Wang Man and Yuan Cang are easier to deal with.

So with a roar, it seemed the Red Dragon Demon Emperor was heading for Yu Mo, but who would have thought—suddenly it turned its head and went straight for Yuan Cang.

He had long decided to take out one of them first; otherwise, being surrounded by three would make escape too difficult.

"Die for this emperor!"

He thrust out a claw; terrifying dragon might instantly enveloped Yuan Cang, the huge dragon claw like a mountain, seeking to crush Yuan Cang into mincemeat.

But just as the Red Dragon Demon Emperor struck, Yuan Cang flashed aside, and then, where there had been nothing, a scarlet burst of light erupted.

The talisman seal was triggered, and a thick pillar of fire shot up into the sky.

Since it's meant to deal with the demon emperor, we naturally wouldn't use low‑grade talisman seals; this time, the Dao Yi Sect has placed mostly high‑grade seals, and we don't mind if they end up killing the Red Dragon Demon Emperor.

A ninth‑grade talisman seal exploded outright; the Red Dragon Demon Emperor's eyes narrowed—he never expected these beasts to have plotted against him, and even used a trap? They've left no stone unturned.

But that wasn't the end; as the ninth‑grade talisman seal enveloped the Red Dragon Demon Emperor, the surrounding talisman seals and formation disks were instantly activated one after another.

For a moment, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor was dumbfounded.

"Damn, so many talisman seals, formation disks……

Various lights shot up to the heavens; even with the Red Dragon Demon Emperor's cultivation, facing this barrage of talisman seals and formation disks, he couldn't possibly ignore it.

Moreover, these talisman seals and formation disks are all ninth‑grade, their rank not low.

Under the furious barrage of talisman seals and formation disks, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor's body bore some wounds, none serious, yet this utterly enraged it.

"Ah, damn humans, you think this can stop me? Come on, I'm right here—if you've got the guts, come again……

"A mere trap thinking to deal with me? You're greatly underestimating my strength."

But before his words faded, the very same spot suddenly lit up again with talisman seals and formation light.

"More?"

Seeing this, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor nearly burst his eyes from rage.

As a Demon Emperor, its memory is naturally excellent; it can be absolutely certain that the place emitting light again now is exactly the same as before, with not the slightest deviation.

His eyelid twitched involuntarily; are these humans devils? Where the hell would someone set up so many traps in the same spot?

Traps upon traps?

The roar from just a moment ago became reality in the next second, and once again it was enveloped by talisman seals and formation disks.

This time, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor became even more frenzied, directly blasting through these talisman seals and formations by force.

But the next second, before it could even speak, the same place lit up again with the light of formations and talisman seals, damn it.

"Again?"

This is the third time; in the exact same spot, they actually set up three traps? The Red Dragon Demon Emperor's whole body went numb.

What the hell does this mean?

Again enveloped by formations and talisman seals, then fourth, fifth, sixth........ ninth..........

"Despicable humans, will you ever finish?"

Its body covered in blood, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor almost cried; in the same spot, you damned bastards set up nine traps—this is excessive!
