Chapter 571: Fighting Four Demons with Pure Strength

~11 min read 2,013 words

After a long while, the woman finally calmed down. She glanced at the map in front of her, her willow-leaf eyebrows arching slightly as she said:

"Launch a full-scale attack tomorrow. If you cannot take this mountain, bring me your heads!"

The several demonic beast commanders below trembled all over and hurriedly answered in unison!

The woman transformed from the beautiful snake was named Zhuyue. She had been by Ai Yuchen's side for many years, and sending her here this time was also for the purpose of taking "Bushishan" in one fell swoop!

After Zhuyue gave the order, on the morning of the next day, the overwhelming demonic beasts marched toward Bushishan, led by four Ninth-Rank demonic cultivators who had not yet reached the Transformation Stage!

Under high-pressure policies, even if they knew there was a mountain of blades and a sea of fire ahead, they had to jump in!

At this very moment, Tianyi Laodao and the others standing on the mountaintop all had their brows tightly furrowed. At the foot of Bushishan, the endless army of demonic beasts had almost covered the ground! The demonic Qi rising into the sky caused the surrounding heavens to change color, and the bursts of beast roars stirred up a foul wind!

"It seems the demonic beasts are launching a full-scale attack this time!"

The muscles on the old face of the monk Xiangxin twitched a few times as he said with great concern! The cultivators from Jile Temple and Wuliang Dao Sect had only recently arrived at Bushishan and had never seen such a massive formation; if they developed feelings of cowardice, things would become difficult!

"I didn't expect that we would have to face a fierce battle just after arriving here!"

Tianyi also felt uneasy in his heart!

Just at this moment, the numerous demonic beasts below let out a collective roar, and then a rumbling sound came as countless demonic beasts lunged toward Bushishan! At the same time, several flying demonic beasts also circled above the mountaintop!

"Activate the Restriction! Shoot and kill these demonic beasts with all your might!"

Seeing that the situation was dire, Tianyi Laodao immediately gave the order. In an instant, the cultivators of Jile Temple and Wuliang Dao Sect activated all the offensive arrays, and beams of light of various colors shot toward the foot of the mountain like raindrops!

Explosions rang out incessantly! The few demonic beasts charging at the very front were the first to be blasted to pieces by the light beams, turning into a rain of blood across the sky! In the blink of an eye, hundreds of demonic beasts were killed, but the beasts behind them were fearless of death, stepping on the corpses of their companions to continue the charge!

Just as Xiangxin and Tianyi feared, the cultivators they brought would naturally not be afraid if it were a one-on-one duel, but such a tragic and large-scale battle made them feel a chill. Because too many demonic beasts were dying below, a bloody stench drifted to the mountaintop, making the faces of the cultivators from the two major forces look ugly!

The demonic beasts below seemed endless; after one batch died, a second batch would immediately rush up, followed by a third and a fourth! The blood on the ground at the foot of the mountain gathered into small rivers, and severed limbs and broken arms were everywhere!

Glancing at the several cultivators activating the Restriction, Zhang Nuo's brows also furrowed. Facing the pressure of the demonic beast attack, some cultivators even appeared flustered!

"Fellow Daoists, this cannot go on. Once our morale drops, it will be extremely disadvantageous for future battles! How about this: let Zhang charge out of the Restriction to bolster their courage!"

As soon as Zhang Nuo said this, the eyes of Xiangxin and the others fell upon him! Expressions of surprise appeared on their faces in unison!

This kid was being too arrogant! There were more than ten million demonic beasts below; once trapped in the swarm, even escaping would be a problem!

"Fellow Daoist, please think twice! While this might be beneficial to our side, your own safety..."

"Many thanks for your concern, Fellow Daoist Xiangxin! Zhang has the confidence to return!"

Zhang Nuo said gratefully, smiling at the monk.

"Go! But know when to stop, and be extra careful!"

Tianyi Laodao finally agreed. Although he did not know what Zhang Nuo's true purpose was in doing this, there must be a reason for it!

Nodding, Zhang Nuo's escape light rose, and he directly broke a small opening in the mountain-protecting Restriction, leaving Bushishan alone!

Zhang Nuo did not really want to boost the morale of any cultivators; he had his own plans. Ever since entering the Integration Early Stage, he had only fought with Wang Kaigang. If he continued like this, it would be difficult to gain experience, which was extremely disadvantageous for his future breakthrough to the Integration Middle Stage!

And with countless demonic beasts before him, it was the best way to temper his state of mind! Even if there was some danger in doing so, Zhang Nuo believed that escaping from among ten thousand beasts should not be a problem!

Based on the above thoughts, he became the one to stick his neck out! As soon as he flew out of the Restriction, the beasts below saw him, and immediately several flying demonic beasts swooped down from high in the sky, attacking Zhang Nuo one after another!

"Hehe! Well come!"

Zhang Nuo was not angry but happy. With a movement of his Divine Sense, the Nine Dragon Sword Case shot out of his body. With a flash of brilliance, a hundred cold lights were unleashed, and in a fleeting moment, they slashed and killed the flying demonic beasts charging over in mid-air!

His figure lunged toward the ground, and Zhang Nuo fell right into the heart of the demonic beast army! He flicked his Sword Qi several times, and the demonic beasts closest to him fell to the ground in response!

With a turn of his body, Zhang Nuo flipped his hand, and the Autumn Water Home was summoned, which he then swung fiercely! A violent wind rose, blowing dozens of demonic beasts into mid-air! At the same time, several Wind Blades slashed through, and those demonic beasts in the air turned into a rain of blood!

The numerous cultivators standing on the mountain saw this and immediately gained courage. A human cultivator could charge and kill like this in the midst of the demonic beast swarm; it truly made them envious!

Although the cultivation of these demonic beasts was only around the Fifth or Sixth-Rank, even a good tiger cannot withstand a pack of wolves. How could such courage and such boldness not be convincing?

"Wow!"

On Bushishan, the disciples of the Wuliang Dao Sect erupted into heaven-shaking cheers!

Zhang Nuo, surrounded by numerous demonic beasts, moved as if in an empty land. A charge forward would see dozens of demonic beasts perish, and a retreat would see several more demonic cultivators die without a whole corpse!

The four leading demonic cultivators who had been watching from afar suddenly had their expressions turn grave. They had not expected that a cultivator would come down from the mountain at the beginning of the battle!

At this time, one of the demonic beasts with horns on its head let out a long howl, and instantly, the low-rank demonic cultivators surrounding Zhang Nuo seemed to have received an order and directly retreated!

Just as Zhang Nuo's thoughts stirred, four streaks of escape light landed before him! The brilliance faded, revealing four Ninth-Rank demonic beasts!

These four demonic beasts looked very ugly, one could even say disgusting! One of them looked like a giant toad, its entire skin covered in bumps, and it would occasionally stick out a pink, long tongue! A foul stench emanated from its mouth!

The other two looked like flying demonic beasts, with heads like strange birds and a pair of wings on their backs. They were black and white, respectively, and stood at the very back.

The last demonic beast was stronger than the previous three; at least it had a human face, but on its head grew a single horn half a foot long, which looked very strange!

Zhang Nuo scanned the appearances of these four demonic beasts, his mind desperately recalling the data he had seen on the mountain, but he only recognized two. As for the two flying demonic beasts, they must have just joined!

"Guga! Human boy, you have quite some nerve, daring to charge in alone!"

The demonic beast that looked like a toad flicked its pink tongue and said with a strange cry.

"What is there to be afraid of? Isn't it just a team made up of a bunch of animals?"

Zhang Nuo looked at the four Ninth-Rank demonic beasts in front of him with contempt, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth!

"You dare to insult us! Everyone, attack together and destroy him!"

The demonic beast with the single horn on its head roared, and at the same time, it leaped forward, spreading its ten fingers. Ten sharp nails grew rapidly from its fingertips; these nails were milky white, and the biting cold light appeared even more sinister under the sunlight!

Zhang Nuo took two steps back and dodged the blow quite easily, but before his figure could land, the toad demonic beast shook its unformed palm, and a pitch-black spear appeared in its hand, also attacking him with a flash of movement!

The two Ninth-Rank demonic beasts moved around him, frequently launching attacks at Zhang Nuo, while Zhang Nuo used his movement technique to dodge continuously, not immediately fighting back!

The two flying demonic beasts in the back had no intention of attacking at all, their four eyes, like those of hawks and falcons, watching the battle between the two beasts and the one human!

At the same time, Zhuyue, who was watching the battle from the very back of the demonic beast army, arched her willow-leaf eyebrows. She felt that Zhang Nuo looked particularly familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen him!

Resting her cheek on her jade hand, Zhuyue tried hard to recall, and suddenly, the woman's expression changed.

"How could his advancement speed be this fast? Not good!"

Zhuyue had already remembered who Zhang Nuo was; he was the cultivator she had seen near that Cave Abode around Haogao Town! At the time, she had thought Zhang Nuo was a cultivator from the Underworld, but later, after seeing Ai Yuchen and being scolded by her, she realized she had been tricked! The other party only possessed a few Underworld techniques!

But at the thought of this, Zhuyue was shocked in her heart. Back then, Zhang Nuo could contend with her with his Spirit Severing Stage cultivation, so now that he had entered the Integration Stage, even if the four beasts joined forces, they were likely no match for him!

He had just wanted to speak up to call back the four demons, but everything seemed a bit too late!

While dodging the attacks of the two demons, Zhang Nuo suddenly raised his hand and shot out a Flying Sword; the surface of the Flying Sword was burning with a layer of small, dark red flames, and it only grazed the skin of the demon cultivator with a single horn on his head! Yet, that demon cultivator instantly turned into a pile of fly ash!

Upon seeing this, the toad demon cultivator was immediately startled; its intelligence had not been much awakened to begin with, and discovering that something was wrong, it just wanted to turn and flee, but Zhang Nuo did not give it that chance, shaking the Autumn Water Home in his hand, and ten thousand Wind Blades swept out!

In just an instant, the toad demon cultivator turned into a rain of blood, scattering into the air!
