Chapter 109: The Guest Turns Host as the Demon Army Appears; Battles Unfold and Fierce Might is Displayed【4k】

"Swish, swish—"

Around these bandits blocking the road, layers upon layers of cloud-mist and water-light rose and swirled.

It spread in all directions like surging waves, full but not overflowing, with a unique resonance.

Observing closely, the entire phenomenon formed by the cloud-mist and water-light expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a vast, incomparable bubble.

Blocking the front, obstructing the rear, filling the sky and covering the earth, in every direction, nothing was left out.

Deep and profound, bizarre and kaleidoscopic, with mottled shadows of people, as well as mountains, rivers, sun, moon, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, it seemed to swallow the crowd into a world of its own.

"Good, good, good! I spend all day hunting birds, only to have a little bird peck my eyes out! The Dragon Lord truly has a fine scheme!"

An old gray-clad demon sneered repeatedly, his voice as harsh as a wooden saw grinding.

He shook his body, revealing three bird heads, feathers as red as fire, and six eyes emitting a ghastly green light, scanning the surroundings.

One could see that within the cloud-mist and water-light, demon soldier squads of all sizes, all clad in armor and wielding blades, were scattered like stars in the sky, forming formations under the leadership of various commanders.

Gold and water shimmered together, forming a water-curtain light shield that seemed to hang from the sky, surging with thousands of spears and arrows, surrounding them so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.

The sound of horns, as if traveling from the distant past, rose and fell in succession.

Killing intent permeated the air, covering the surroundings, present everywhere.

Orderly and disciplined, with commands strictly followed.

Compared to the demon soldiers behind them who formed the 'Tianluo Diwang Array', the difference was as vast as heaven and earth.

It simply made the elite subordinates they had brought look like nothing more than rotten fish and shrimp.

This was hardly surprising, as the demons of Beiju Luzhou worshipped the law of the jungle, where individual strength was paramount.

Coupled with the ferocity and irritability they had contracted in Bei Zhou, it was difficult to form demon soldiers like those under Fang Longye.

These demon armies within the cloud-mist and water-light had been trained by Luming and the Water Tribe General Jinglong from the North Sea Longgong, who were under Fang Longye's command, combining the Longgong's methods of training soldiers.

Even after annihilating Chiyang Wang, Fang Longye had passed down various Dao Soldier Methods, refining and selecting them, which finally formed this stern and imposing demon army.

To be precise, these could all be considered a type of Dao Soldier.

Only then could they achieve such strict discipline, where whatever was ordered from above was surely obeyed below.

As for Mingxue Wang, Lu Zhu, and the others, they belonged to three different factions, and the nearly ten thousand subordinates they brought, while seemingly numerous, were only cooperating temporarily; their lineup alone was far inferior.

Not to mention, these demon kings in Beiju Luzhou were accustomed to covering the sky with one hand and crushing everything with sheer power.

Regarding the demon subordinates in their own forces, they merely gathered them and basically did not organize them at all.

As for the Tianluo Diwang Array, it sounded quite high-end, but it depended on whose hands it was used in.

Fang Longye also seemed to pursue the supremacy of sheer power, yet he had never abandoned the management of his forces or the cultivation of his demon subordinates.

Furthermore, with the North Sea Longgong providing people to assist, besides the Dragon Whale General, among the many Longnu, there was no shortage of heroines capable of leading troops in battle.

With the three thousand battle soldiers gifted by the North Sea Longgong as a foundation, and following his own accumulation over these past few years, the demon subordinates on Cangmang Mountain had not stood still and had long since taken on a new look.

It could be considered an initial fusion of individual power and systematic governance.

Strictly speaking, it was hard to say who was right or wrong, and there was no distinction of superiority; only what suited oneself was the best.

It was not wrong for individual power to reside in one's own body; it was also not wrong to manage forces to serve as wings.

But the current situation was that in terms of individual power, Fang Longye suppressed all the demons. In terms of his demon subordinates, having support from all sides, he was likewise a cut above.

However, one could not blame these demon kings; they did not have the heavy backing that Fang Longye had, allowing him to pour resources downward without any scruples.

In Beiju Luzhou, where "the wind and water take turns, and the great king is busy ascending the throne," these demon kings used whatever meager resources they had on themselves.

Only great demon kings at the Golden Immortal Realm would consider carefully managing their forces and cultivating subordinates to serve as their claws and teeth.

Someone like Fang Longye was destined to be in the minority, belonging to the kind of demon immortals with a solid foundation.

Clearly, these demon kings who were blocking the road to rob others could naturally not be counted as existences with a solid foundation.

"Kill!"

The Tianluo Diwang Array collapsed without being attacked.

The group of blocking demon kings commanded their demon subordinates to disperse this formation, which was meant for suppression and capture.

The three factions gathered separately, forming the attack formations they were proficient in, adding strength to themselves.

The overwhelming, ferocious aura surged straight into the sky, whistling and roaring, attacking the vast array formed by Fang Longye's demon army.

Standing within this demon army formation, Qingli chuckled, her sword ringing sharply.

She said to Jinglong, the Dragon Whale General beside her, "The deployment of troops and formation of arrays is left to the General!"

"I shall naturally obey the Immortal's command."

Jinglong, wearing armor, cupped his hands to accept the order.

After speaking, he waved the command flag.

The demon soldiers, having been tempered for a long time, maintained the changes in formation and combined arrangements in an orderly manner.

Their Aura surged to the peak, connecting together and linking with the void, evolving into various strange phenomena.

As the heavenly light shone down, there were springs gushing like pearls, or gas condensing into precious canopies, or swords and blades ringing in unison, or the sounds of immortal music.

Up and down, left and right, changing at every moment, containing power, and manifesting a mighty prestige.

First was defense; under the heavy phenomena, thousands of golden lights burst forth, and the sound of water waves echoed, as if the ocean had come from afar, with waves splashing and scattering everywhere.

Water is extremely soft and excels at overcoming all things.

Solid as a golden fortress, it could not be broken.

Spirit Treasures, divine abilities, and Dharma techniques... the various methods of the opponents were presented, stirring up the heavens and earth for ten thousand miles, the sound of thunderous explosions ringing incessantly, and space shattering, yet not a single bit of damage was sustained.

Next came the overwhelming counterattack, as thousands of five-colored radiances bloomed like huge, colorful lotus flowers; metal, wood, water, fire, and earth encompassed all phenomena, and the sweeping attacks rolled over the enemies.

With wind rolling through the clouds and great waves washing away the sand, in just a moment, seventy percent of the subordinates brought by these demon kings perished, and those who remained were all covered in wounds.

How miserable!

Although these True Immortal demon kings were unharmed, their faces were gloomy.

Because the casualties on the opposite side were quite small, every single demon soldier remained full of spirit.

"There is an expert suppressing the formation on the opposite side!" one of the bull-horned men sighed.

Everyone's expression turned ugly.

It was for no other reason than that the attack just now, if they had to take it head-on, most of them would not have been able to withstand more than a few hits.

"To capture the bandits, first capture the king!"

A True Immortal Realm snake demon, looking at Fang Longye, who sat on the cloud chariot with a light and breezy air, had scarlet eyes that flickered uncertainly, and transmitted a ruthless voice message.

"That's right, attack the place the enemy must save. I don't believe that among us, with several figures who can contend with Golden Immortals, we still can't take down a single True Immortal?"

Mingxue Wang said in a sinister tone.

"Kill!"

The group of demon kings and True Immortals simply turned their bodies and attacked toward Fang Longye!

A crowd of Spirit Treasures bloomed with majesty, and all sorts of supernatural powers were unleashed in abundance.

One after another, they ravaged their own bodies, burning essence and blood, erupting with power far greater than their normal state, and headed toward Fang Longye.

"How bold!" In the military formation, Fang Longye's group of demon immortal subordinates shouted sternly.

"Heh—" Fang Longye stopped Ao Ying from stepping forward, stood up from the cloud chariot, and chuckled.

The profound sound was clear and resonant, echoing across the horizon, suppressing all other sounds.

The aura of his whole body was suddenly released, rushing toward the heavens.

He did not dodge or evade, standing in place without even defending, only using the Panlong Spear to parry with an indescribable trajectory, knocking away the Spirit Treasure attacks coming toward him one by one.

He let the rest of the attacks strike his body.

Since Fang Longye fused various cultivation arts and realized the 'Yuanlong Scripture', he had always practiced both Dharma and body.

Moreover, as a member of the Dragon Clan, every improvement in realm, not to mention anything else, was actually a most significant improvement in the essence of the physical body.

At his current realm, because of the Five Qi in the Chest, most of the good fortune he obtained each time went to his physical body, and his defense and strength had become terrifying.

He had both the Diamond Indestructible supernatural power to protect his body and a group of clothing and armor-type Spirit Treasures to defend himself.

The strength of his defense exceeded what ordinary people could imagine.

A shimmering divine radiance rose upon his physical body; only a "Clang—" sound was heard as the group of attacks collided directly with his torso. The aftermath spread out, as if substantial, and the echo traveled far away, emitting a sound like metal and stone, as if thousands of swords and spears were ringing together.

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

The group of True Immortal demon kings could not help but be flustered, constantly letting out exclamations.

An indescribable force of counter-shock was transmitted back with Fang Longye as the core, wave after wave, like water ripples, continuous and unending.

This force of counter-shock was unusually powerful, causing the group of demon kings to be shaken away while also being injured, their Dharma and blood-Qi becoming somewhat unstable.

Following this, Fang Longye moved his mind, and wind, rain, and thunder arose; the great power of heaven and earth permeated the surrounding area, fine and dense, thick and numerous, crisscrossing and opening and closing.

Thunder struck down, reflecting in the coiled space.

Layer upon layer fell, forming gear-like sharp points on the outermost periphery, numbering more than thousands, containing the power of destruction.

Between heaven and earth, everything was frost-white.

A cold silence that soaked into the heart lingered all around.

The wind blew up, sweeping toward the group of demon kings with the power to scrape away everything.

Pitter-patter—

Nine Heavens Weak Water turned into a torrential downpour and fell, each drop containing the power to dissolve everything and destroy vitality.

It poured down, locking onto the Aura of the group of demon kings.

No matter how they dodged, the Nine Heavens Weak Water would land on them, leaving them nowhere to escape.

Mastering Five Thunders and Summoning Wind and Rain complemented each other, possessing their own profound mystery.

After that, a small bronze pot rose above Fang Longye's head, shaking slightly, and an incredible suction force arose, devouring everything.

In just an instant, it swept everything before him clean.

The clouds dispersed and the rain cleared, the sunny colors first appeared, haloed with light and condensed with color; a breeze blew, thin clouds swayed, clouds rolled and relaxed, a scene of peace.

From the time Fang Longye stood up to face the enemy until now, all the blocking demons, whether dead or alive, were all captured by him. The whole process, which seemed to have many steps, actually happened in the blink of an eye, fast to the point of being incredible.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Fang Longye's group of demon subordinates would have feared that the previous battle was nothing more than a mirage, a mere illusion.

But they all knew it was definitely not a mirage; their Great King had relied on his own strength to resolve a group of powerful enemies like a wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

"The Great King is mighty!"

"The Great King's supernatural powers are boundless!"...

The group of demon soldiers cheered and jumped for joy, a sense of shared honor arising spontaneously.

"Young Master—" Qingli came over with a group of demon immortal subordinates, her sleeves fluttering.

The wind rose with a rustle~

Fang Longye's eyes shone brightly, and he ordered: "Rest for a while; later, I will lead you to conquer mountains and break into mansions, to truly establish the prestige of our Cangmang Mountain!"

Wusong Shan.

The sun was cold and the mountain was chilly, the steep forest was desolate.

The cloud ravine was deep, and from the empty stone shelves embedded in the air, bright clouds shot out like waterfalls.

Like trailing fishing lines hanging down, hooked into the depths, immersed in the void, swaying leisurely.

Silence, coldness, as if a painting scroll had been unfolded and smoothed out.

Just at this moment, a sound like tearing silk was heard, earth-shattering.

The calm painting was shattered, as if torn apart from the center.

Myriad rays of light, like a peacock spreading its tail, scattered in all directions, layer upon layer, causing ripples in the water that undulated without end.

Within the vast water waves, dragon roars sounded one after another.

The sea of clouds surged, and tens of thousands of demon shadows swayed.

"What person dares to destroy the formation of my Wusong Shan?" A True Immortal Realm Iron-Eating Beast, holding a great halberd, led hundreds of demon soldiers out.

Fang Longye sat upright on the cloud chariot, eyes closed and mind focused, remaining silent and offering no reply.

Facing an idiot, he could not be bothered to respond.

"Kill!"

Understanding his intent, Qingli let out a clear, ringing sound as she drew her sword, waving it with a sharp cry.

A streak of sword Qi slashed past; this True Immortal Realm Iron-Eating Beast, eyes wide with rage, collapsed with a boom.

Immediately following, hundreds of demon immortals flew forth and thousands of demon soldiers roared, rushing into Wusong Shan to begin a massive slaughter.

Yes, a massive slaughter.

Wherever they went, they killed every demon they saw, leaving no living thing behind.

Unstoppable, capable of anything.

Even the group of demon immortals left behind to guard could not last more than a few exchanges before they were all annihilated.

The demon horde went straight into the depths of the Wusong Shan Cave Abode, destroying buildings upon sight, killing demons upon sight, and collecting any treasures they found.

With Fang Longye providing care from above from time to time, and the group of demon immortals coordinating their attacks below.

Even though this branch of Iron-Eating Beasts had quite a bit of heritage, all the various Restrictions and other defensive measures in the Cave Abode were completely useless.

In less than half an hour, the demon horde under Fang Longye had turned Wusong Shan upside down.

Not a single living soul remained!

"Let's go! To the next one. Leave the treasure mountain here for now; we will come back to move it later~"

Having gathered the flesh and blood of the demon horde, Fang Longye looked at the red-stained mountains, his face full of smiles.

Leading the demon soldiers and demon immortals, he rose into the air with composure, entered the Yunxiao, and headed toward the distance.

……

Xueyun Gu.

Steep ridges and dangerous peaks coiled and crouched; poisonous snakes traveled by night, and deep valleys and evil ravines were scattered like stars, with countless bats flying horizontally.

Twisted, strange pines and crooked, ram-horn-like odd rocks echoed with shrill, strange cries that reverberated in the empty valley, carrying far away.

Above the deep valley, blood clouds permeated the air, some as large as an acre, others as small as a lamp flame, scattered about, with a fishy stench assaulting the nose and filling the surroundings.

Suddenly, murderous intent rolled above the cloudy sky, black clouds gathered, and thunderbolts descended from the heavens, pale light intersecting like a spider web.

Surrounded by clouds, rain, and thunder, amidst the overlapping halos, burning golden flames fell, burning the blood clouds away.

Immediately, the sky-filling demon horde leaped into the valley, burning, killing, and looting. A sky-covering, fierce, and murderous aura rose, forming yet another blood cloud above Xueyun Gu.

A short while later.

Fang Longye looked at the dilapidated Xueyun Gu, reached out a hand to gather, and extracted the Creation Spiritual Essence of Xueyun Gu until nothing remained.

Sparks flew, and Sun True Fire rose, covering the sky and earth, annihilating everything.

Only a patch of scorched earth remained.

The once-famous Xueyun Gu in this region was thoroughly eradicated; the demon population was killed, the Cave Abode was leveled, the valley was burned, and its foundation was severed.

Firstly, this dojo of Mingxue Wang was too heavily tainted by its Dao Rhyme and did not fit the layout and style of Cangmang Mountain, so he did not intend to move it over and claim it as his own.

Secondly, Fang Longye needed some tragic scenes to make people understand that the Yuanlong Dragon Lord of Cangmang Mountain did not just have a profound background, but also possessed thunderous means!

To summarize in one sentence: Don't touch Laozi!

Yin and Yang circulated, leaving some information in the void. Fang Longye returned to his chariot and ordered: "Next one!"

The Bishui Jinjing Beast generated light beneath its feet and soared into the air, splashing up clusters of Golden Flower.

Leading the demon immortals and demon horde, they flew off toward the distance.

Three major forces, over a dozen demon kings, each with their own dojo. Counting carefully, there were thirteen dojos and Cave Abodes in total; this was only the fifth one! ……

Today's first chapter~ The second chapter will probably be in the early morning, so no need to wait~ I will pull an all-nighter to make up for what I owed yesterday. It's the end of the month, and work is truly quite heavy.
