Chapter 671: Clan Leader! We Can't Hold On Much Longer

"Boom!"

Outside Liuyun Mountain, the Golden Core cultivators and the fourth-tier Demon King clashed once again; the battle between the two sides was exceptionally intense.

Because of the Spirit Stone support brought by Yun Tianlai, the Su Family could hold out for nearly another month.

Naturally, this was not good news for the Demon army outside.

Furthermore, the Su Family began to have cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and above continuously unleash Magic Techniques to wear down the Demon army outside.

Consequently, the death toll of the Demon army outside grew higher and higher.

Although the Demon army consisted of low-tier Demon Beasts with little intelligence, they were still capable of feeling fear.

Constant deaths caused many Demon Beasts to weaken their attacks on the Liuyun Mountain Array.

At this point, the high-level Demons were not fools.

They naturally saw through the Su Family's intentions.

Thus, those third-tier Demon Beasts also joined in the attack on the Array.

Suddenly, the battle between the two sides became even more intense, with Su Family cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage and above frequently flying out from the Array to launch surprise attacks.

In this short half-month, there were many gains.

And every time they encountered danger, Su Fan would intervene, saving them from the threat of death.

The Demon race did not have such good luck.

Three fourth-tier Demon Beasts were intercepted by the Su Family's Golden Core cultivators and were completely unable to provide reinforcements to the other Demon Beasts.

They also wanted to imitate Su Fan, but they lacked Su Fan's strength; that strongest Gray Ape could not unleash even a shred of its divine might when facing Su Fan, and was firmly suppressed by him.

It was as if he were merely teasing his opponent.

In this way, after another month or so, the Demon race slowly retreated, pulling back to the Huoyun Shanmai to regroup.

After all, in these two-plus months, the Demon race had left behind nearly 300,000 corpses on Liuyun Mountain.

This was absolutely the highest death toll in the last thousand years.

The third and fourth-tier Demon Beasts that remained behind continuously assaulted the Liuyun Mountain Array; relying on their mobility, they did not want to let the Su Family members leave.

After all, these Demon Beasts understood that only by continuously wearing down the Su Family could they have a chance to break the Su Family's Array.

Having repelled a few more Demon Beasts.

The high-level members of the Su Family returned to Liuyun Peak with faces full of exhaustion.

Without the Demon army, they were actually even more tired.

After all, the remaining three hundred-plus second-tier, thirty-plus third-tier, and three fourth-tier Demon Beasts were attacking the Su Family's Array.

In terms of threat, they were not much worse than the Demon army.

Especially the attacks from the fourth-tier Demon King, which were extremely dangerous for the Array.

They had to go out from the Array to block the Demon King, otherwise, relying solely on the Array would only consume more Spirit Pool Spirit Energy.

Going out to engage the Demon race in close-quarters combat was naturally very dangerous; everyone's spirit and magic power were heavily depleted, and some were even injured.

Fortunately, no one was in danger of dying.

"Clan Leader, we cannot go on like this."

With the Demon race's constant attrition, they had been fighting for over two months; these Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, and Golden Core cultivators had almost no rest, and each of them was mentally exhausted.

Moreover, in these two months, everyone had used up quite a few of their trump cards, especially the Blazing Fire Divine Thunder Talismans, which half of the Purple Mansion cultivators had already used.

Although they had indeed killed nearly twenty third-tier Demon Beasts, the number of third-tier Demon Beasts was far greater than their Purple Mansion cultivators.

Even so, there were still thirty third-tier Demon Beasts in the Demon army.

Su Wanjun naturally knew that the current situation was very difficult for everyone, and for the Su Family's high-level members, having no casualties was already the best outcome.

If this had been in the past, they would likely have suffered heavy casualties.

The reason there were no casualties was thanks to Su Fan, who had been extending a helping hand from the sidelines, and also the Blazing Fire Divine Thunder Talismans.

Once they encountered danger, the Su Family's high-level members would immediately activate these Blazing Fire Divine Thunder Talismans.

But without this trump card, these Purple Mansion cultivators of the Su Family would be in an even more difficult position.

Now, outside the Array, those Demon armies were gone, leaving only a few high-level Demon Beasts, but these were even more troublesome.

After all, they had greater mobility, and the tens of thousands of cultivators on Liuyun Mountain could not leave the Array to attack those Demon Beasts together.

These tens of thousands of cultivators were the foundation for defending Liuyun Mountain and could not easily leave the mountain.

In terms of tactics, the Su Family had now fallen into a disadvantageous position, which was the drawback of passive defense.

Su Wanjun turned his gaze toward Su Fan; he had no good solutions left now.

During these two months, although he had fought hard against the enemy and his own consumption was great, and despite having Spirit Pills and Spirit Stones to restore his magic power, mental exhaustion was not so easily recovered from.

He also knew that some people had already reached their limits; mental damage was not a good thing for the future.

Su Wanjun could see it, so how could Su Fan not?

His test of the Su Family this time also included testing the others; these people had clearly passed. In this test, the Su Family's external clans and those from the alliance had all been wholehearted, with no one slacking off.

"It's time to end this!"

Su Fan muttered to himself.

News had also come from the Yunyang Sect side; the army that had split off from here was also having a hard time facing the Yunyang Sect's blockade.

Of the two fourth-tier Demon Beasts, one had already been severely wounded, and the Yunyang Sect people were currently finishing it off.

So this Beast Tide was actually about over; as long as he killed one more, those Demon Beasts would inevitably retreat.

Of course, with his strength, killing three fourth-tier Demon Kings was also an easy task.

But exposing his strength like this was not entirely a good thing for the Su Family.

It would only draw many people's attention to the Su Family, which was not conducive to the Su Family's gradual development; the Su Family's explosive growth actually had hidden dangers.

These hidden dangers had all been suppressed by Su Fan, but it would be different once Su Fan left in the future.

Su Fan naturally did not wish for the Su Family to have any hidden dangers, so moving forward, the Su Family would develop slowly, peeling away the hidden dangers layer by layer.

After doing so, he could also ascend with peace of mind.

With his Divine Soul power having reached the Primordial Spirit realm, he naturally sensed the limitations of this world; once one's cultivation reaches the Primordial Spirit realm, it is very difficult to improve any further.

It is not the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, but the flaws of this world.

Because of the great war a million years ago, the origin of this world was damaged, making it exceptionally difficult for those in the Primordial Spirit realm to either comprehend the Heaven and Earth Law or cultivate magic power.

Therefore, one must ascend to the Upper Realm in order to break through rapidly.

It is almost impossible to cultivate to the Yuanshen Jiuzhong in the Lower Realm; even reaching the Primordial Spirit Mid Stage would likely require the accumulation of two or three lifetimes.

Su Fan is the same; fortunately, he has the Star Heart within his body, so he is not lacking in magic power cultivation, but in terms of realm, it is not so easy to improve.
