Chapter 775: Wait and See

"Kill!"

Qingjian Island's defensive great array had already been broken, and thus Qingjian Island was wide open. Although the Demon Race only had a little over one hundred thousand left, their Nascent Soul combat strength had not been lost.

So they still did not leave.

If it were a human power, having lost two-thirds of its strength, it would probably have collapsed long ago.

But the Demon Race was just that terrifying.

Of course, even if they lost two-thirds, most of them were low-level demonic creatures. Most of them had no intelligence and were completely controlled by high-level Demon Race members.

As long as those high-level Demon Race members did not have much loss, naturally they would not flee.

Both sides erupted into battle again. This time it was close-quarters combat.

Qingjian Island originally had nearly one million cultivators. After several days of fighting, the losses were not small. Seven or eighty thousand low-level cultivators died in battle. There were still over three hundred thousand left, either injured or exhausted of magic power, unable to fight.

The remaining several hundred thousand cultivators, facing over one hundred thousand demonic creatures, did not have the advantage.

What's more, in terms of high-level combat strength, whether it was Golden Core or Nascent Soul, for Qingjian Island, it was not an advantage.

The ancestor of the Zhou family native to Qingjian Island had an ugly face.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, what should we do?"

They had five Nascent Soul combatants here, while the other side had six. The combat strength of their five was weaker than the other side's.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, rest assured."

Lu Qingshan said confidently upon hearing this. Fighting to this point, their Profound Heaven Sect's losses were not large. The cultivators who died in battle were only a few hundred, which was still very few compared to tens of thousands.

And most of them were Qi Refining cultivators.

And after this battle was over, their Qingjian Island would inevitably welcome a period of recuperation. After this great battle, they would inevitably welcome a breakthrough period. After all, many cultivators had experienced a tempering of life and death.

As for Zhou Shan's worries, Lu Qingshan was not worried in his heart. The final outcome of this battle would be decided by their Nascent Soul level power.

And they were indeed at a disadvantage facing this branch of the Demon Race, but they had Su Fan on their side.

Outsiders did not know, but he knew that Su Fan's strength was at least at the eighth or ninth layer of the Nascent Soul stage. Those Demon Race Nascent Souls were simply not his opponents.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, are there any other trump cards?"

Zhou Shan asked eagerly, looking at the confident Lu Qingshan, his worries slightly eased.

"Haha!"

"Trump card!"

"Brother Dao will see it very soon."

"In that case, this old man will wait and see."

Zhou Shan bowed. He did not believe Lu Qingshan was a fool. Facing this state where they seemed to be at a disadvantage, to be so confident without a powerful trump card was impossible.

Naturally, he was happy in his heart.

After all, Qingjian Island was their Zhou family's traditional power. If the Profound Heaven Sect was defeated, they could board the Tier 5 treasure ship and flee, but it would be difficult for them to flee.

If the Profound Heaven Sect fled, they would only receive a certain punishment. If their Zhou family fled, not only would they lose their own garrison, but they would also be unable to lift their heads when facing other powers of the Immortal Alliance.

Their reputation would be gone, and wanting to survive in this East Sea would be even more difficult.

Not to mention, the Immortal Alliance's punishment for them would be even more severe.

Therefore, no matter what, he did not want to see Qingjian Island broken.

Since Lu Qingshan had confidence and backing, he would accompany them in a great battle. Thinking of this, his momentum suddenly rose, and he suddenly felt that the shackles of impacting the third layer of the Nascent Soul stage had dissipated a lot during this process.

"Haha!"

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist."

Lu Qingshan also noticed the change in the other party and congratulated him upon hearing this. He had also had this state before.

Just waiting for this battle to end, the other party would go into seclusion, and impacting the third layer of the Nascent Soul stage would be no problem.

However, before others could congratulate him, the Demon Race's Nascent Soul stage cultivators had already killed their way over.

Lu Qingshan and the others saw this and stopped exchanging pleasantries, immediately sacrificing their own artifacts to meet them.

One saw that the Profound Heaven Sect disciples each had artifacts above Tier 5 mid-grade, whether it was a thunder seal or a divine fire cover, all of which were existences that restrained demonic energy.

"Damn it!"

Although Lu Qingshan and the others had lower cultivation, relying on these artifacts, they were actually able to fight with these few Demon Race members for a while.

It was just that Zhou Shan and the other were much worse. Their own cultivation was low, and their artifacts could not compare to the Demon Race.

"What kind of background does this Profound Heaven Sect have?"

At this time, Zhou Shan was also full of doubts in his heart. Seeing that their cultivation was not very high, but their artifacts were better than his Immortal Alliance power.

Could it be that they came from the Central Region?

But before he could think too much, his opponent unleashed the Great Demon Hand Blood Seal.

"Brother Zhou, be careful!"

The Demon Race powerhouse's divine ability was also extremely terrifying. This Great Demon Hand Blood Seal was a peerless divine ability of an immortal-level Demon Race member, simplified.

Even so, its power was very terrifying. Once hit, the blood seal contained very strong demonic energy, which could corrupt all the essence, energy, and spirit of the cultivator.

As Zhou Shan of the Immortal Alliance power, he was naturally not unfamiliar with this divine ability, after all, he had not participated in the last Human-Demon War.

But the jade slips recorded from every great war of the Immortal Alliance—which human cultivator in the East Sea had not carefully read them many times?

Therefore, this divine ability was even more deeply remembered by Immortal Alliance disciples. After all, he did not know how many Nascent Soul stage cultivators had died to this divine ability.

At this moment, Zhou Shan felt cold all over, because he felt that he could not block this divine ability at all.

The demonic cultivator who unleashed this divine ability now erupted with strength that was actually at the sixth layer of the Nascent Soul stage. It had to be said that Zhou Shan was very unlucky.

Of course, that demonic cultivator was also more cunning, picking the soft persimmon to pinch. The Profound Heaven Sect disciples unleashed their artifacts, and he instantly knew that these people from the Profound Heaven Sect were not to be trifled with.

Even if their cultivation was not high, those thunder seals and divine fire covers—these artifacts were even more restraining to them demonic cultivators.

After all, the Demon Race still had powerful physical bodies that could resist one or two, while they demonic cultivators, apart from a body of demonic energy, were actually no different from immortal cultivators.

Therefore, he directly chose to fight Zhou Shan.

Sure enough, the other party did not discover that he was hiding his strength, so he immediately found the other party's flaw and succeeded in one fell swoop.

As long as this Great Demon Hand Blood Seal hit the other party's body, the other party would be finished.

"No..."

Feeling the breath of death, Zhou Shan's eyes were full of despair.

He had just broken through the bottleneck, and becoming a third-layer Nascent Soul was not a problem, but in the next second, he was about to die.

Such ups and downs made Zhou Shan's heart sway.

The unwillingness in his heart seemed to want to break through the sky, but facing the attack of a sixth-layer Nascent Soul expert, and it was a surprise attack, this made it difficult for him to defend at all.

Watching the defensive spiritual light around him shatter layer by layer, Zhou Shan was extremely desperate. ===== CHAPTER 776 =====
