Chapter 687: Active Help, Critical Battle (Added update seeking monthly votes)
Seeing Song Qingyu open the sound transmission talisman in her hand, she suddenly frowned. Huang Siyuan, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly asked with a nervous face.
"These damn demon beasts, they really know how to choose a time to spoil the fun!"
Song Qingyu heard this, handed the sound transmission talisman in her hand to Huang Siyuan, nodded slightly to respond to her, and then Song Qingyu stood up and bowed to Li Xuanyi on the side:
"Senior Sister Li, it's a bit unfortunate today that the demon beast army has come to attack the market again. The two of us still need to go to resist the enemy first. I hope Senior Sister will forgive us and rest here for a while. After repelling the demon beast army, we will come to apologize to you."
Song Qingyu just stood up, and Li Xuanyi on the side suddenly stood up as well, with a trace of displeasure on her face: "Qingyu, since you have already treated me as one of your own, then I, as a senior sister, see that you are in trouble, how can I sit idly by and let you go to deal with the demon beasts alone? If Junior Brother Song finds out later, he will definitely say I am stingy again.
Since these blind demon beasts dare to spoil my interest today, then I will simply go with you to meet them!"
"It would be great if Senior Sister Li is willing to help. To tell you the truth, we have been fighting with this group of demon beast armies here for more than half a month and have not been able to find an opportunity to repel them.
After I leave, if only Sister-in-law Siyuan is left alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with the two Demon Kings of the opponent. Now with Senior Sister Li's help, we finally have a chance to break the deadlock."
From the moment she saw Li Xuanyi and saw that the other party's cultivation was not low, Song Qingyu had already started to ponder how to invite this Core Formation cultivator to help deal with the difficult demon beast army in front of her.
Later, after learning Li Xuanyi's true identity, Song Qingyu was also busy entertaining the other party, wanting to get closer to Li Xuanyi first, and then find an opportunity to mention this to see if the other party was willing to help.
It's just that before she could take the initiative to ask Li Xuanyi for help, the demon beast army suddenly attacked again, which also interrupted Song Qingyu's plan.
Now seeing Li Xuanyi stand up and take the initiative to offer to help them deal with the demon beast army outside, Song Qingyu was also surprised and moved, and bowed to her again.
Li Xuanyi's cultivation was still above Song Qingyu's, and she had already reached the peak of the fifth layer of Core Formation. With her help, Song Qingyu and the others, not to mention slaying the two leading Demon Kings, had a great grasp of severely injuring and defeating them, forcing the demon beast army to retreat north.
"Sigh! Qingyu, don't be so polite to me again. It's just helping to deal with two Demon Kings, it's not a difficult thing, why be so polite." Seeing Song Qingyu bowing again, Li Xuanyi hurriedly waved her hand to stop her.
"Now that the demon beasts are attacking, for the sake of the millions of lives under the family, then we won't be too polite to Senior Sister!"
After speaking, Song Qingyu walked out of the cave dwelling with Li Xuanyi and Huang Siyuan and came to the sky above the market city wall.
By the time the three of them arrived, the demon beast army in the distance was already rushing toward "Golden Mountain Market" with the sky full of dust, and Song Yuanli and others were also nervously commanding the many cultivators below to make various preparations for the battle.
From the demon beast turmoil to now, more than half a year has passed. "Golden Mountain Market" has repelled the demon beast army several times under the leadership of the Song family and slain many invading enemies, but the human cultivators guarding here have also paid a not-small price.
In this half year, more than seven hundred Qi Refining cultivators have died in the great battle with the demon beasts outside "Golden Mountain Market", and six Foundation Establishment cultivators have also fallen in the great battle so far.
Among them, the Song family has also had many cultivators die in battle here.
Including a family elder Song Changlin, who had only successfully formed the Foundation more than ten years ago, he also unfortunately died on the battlefield after being besieged by several second-level demon beasts in the battle with the demon beast army not long ago.
Song Changlin successfully formed the Foundation after Song Qingming went to the "Donghuang State" immortal cultivation world. Although their generation of cultivators had rapid cultivation speed far exceeding those of ordinary loose cultivators and small family cultivators because of the family's prosperity and abundant cultivation resources.
But because they had not experienced the stage of the family growing from weak to strong, many people lacked experience in fighting with enemies after going to the battlefield, and sometimes their performance in such a cruel demon beast great battle was not as good as others.
"Senior Sister Li, the one leading in front is the White Wolf Demon King. Its cultivation is about the same as mine and has reached the mid-Core Formation stage. The Golden Toad Demon King beside it only has early Core Formation cultivation, and its strength is relatively average and easier to deal with.
Later, I will hold back the White Wolf Demon King first, you just need to deal with the Golden Toad with all your strength. After solving it, we will deal with this demon together."
Seeing that the two Demon Kings in front had already revealed themselves and left the demon beast army to kill toward the market array, Song Qingyu explained to Li Xuanyi, waved her hand, and summoned her natal magic treasure "Mysterious Gold Light Sword" from her body, preparing to rush out of the array to meet the enemy first.
"Qingyu, wait a moment. Why don't you leave this demon to me? I just practiced a divine ability recently and haven't found a suitable opponent. This guy looks quite good in strength, it's quite suitable to accompany me to practice."
After speaking, Li Xuanyi immediately flew out of the array, waved her hand to take out a snow-white flying sword magic treasure, and slashed a fierce attack toward the "White Wolf Demon King" not far away.
Seeing Li Xuanyi take the initiative to hold back the "White Wolf Demon King", Song Qingyu, who wanted to take on this more difficult task herself, didn't say much, nodded, and set her target with Huang Siyuan on the other "Golden Toad Demon King".
Seeing a strange Core Formation cultivator suddenly appear, the "White Wolf Demon King" was also somewhat surprised.
However, seeing that Li Xuanyi's cultivation did not seem to be much higher than its own, it was not too afraid of the other party, and immediately waved its sharp claws into two wind blades and directly shattered the sword light attacked by Li Xuanyi.
Subsequently, the "White Wolf Demon King" relied on a movement technique it practiced, suddenly flashed and disappeared in mid-air, and appeared not far from Li Xuanyi's side after a while, waving a sharp claw at her.
However, this blow looked fierce, but Li Xuanyi was also prepared, gathered a green light shield in front of her, and also very easily blocked the "White Wolf Demon King"'s attack.
After Li Xuanyi started fighting with the "White Wolf Demon King", Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan also came to the front of the other "Golden Toad Demon King", and before it reacted to the danger, they surrounded it in the middle.
The "Golden Toad Demon King" had weaker strength, and previously faced Huang Siyuan alone and could not take the upper hand. Now facing the siege of Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, it immediately felt waves of pressure.
Especially Song Qingyu's natal magic treasure "Mysterious Gold Light Sword", under Huang Siyuan's containment, was very sharp in attack. After only a few dozen rounds, it cut a third-level low-grade magic treasure controlled by the "Golden Toad Demon King" into two pieces with one sword. After the only magic treasure in its hand was destroyed by Song Qingyu, the "Golden Toad Demon King"'s fighting ability was weakened by a few points.
It could only desperately urge its natal inner core to release poison mist to resist Song Qingyu and the other, while calling for help from the "White Wolf Demon King" not far away and the many low-level demon beasts attacking the market array below.
However, at this time, the "White Wolf Demon King" was being fully held back by Li Xuanyi and could not break free to rescue its companion.
Only those second-level Foundation Establishment demon beasts nearby, after hearing the demon king's cry, turned back and rushed over, wanting to support the "Golden Toad Demon King" whose situation was already precarious.
Before this battle started, Song Qingyu had already made up her mind to defeat the demon beast army that was threatening "Golden Mountain Market" at any time in one battle, and not leave too many hidden dangers for Huang Siyuan and the others who would stay behind.
Therefore, before the battle, Song Qingyu also ordered the mobilization of all cultivators in "Golden Mountain Market" to participate in the battle, helping to hold back the demon beast army below, and buying time for the three of them to slay these two Demon Kings.
Not long after the several Core Formation cultivators above started fighting, the human cultivator army below also took the initiative to attack, approached Song Qingyu and the three, and resisted those demon beast armies that wanted to rush to provide support.
However, in this way, taking the initiative to kill out of the market to resist the demon beast army is equivalent to the cultivators of "Golden Mountain Market" actively giving up the powerful protection of the protective mountain array and starting to fight head-on with the demon beast army.
After the "Golden Toad Demon King" cried for help, those low-level demon beasts nearby, after receiving the order, hurriedly dropped their opponents and moved toward its location.
"Activate the array to block them, absolutely cannot let these demon beasts pass!"
Seeing that many demon beasts had rushed toward the "Golden Toad Demon King", Song Yuanli and Song Yuanhao, who were leading the cultivator army to fight, shouted loudly and took the many cultivators beside them to step forward to resist these demon beasts.
At the same time, several array masters like Song Xinting whose array level had reached the second level or above immediately danced the array flags in their hands, led dozens of low-level array masters selected from around, and formed a second-level high-grade array in front of the demon beast army.
This second-level high-grade array, driven by dozens of array masters, turned into a huge white light wall, blocking the only way for the demon beast army that wanted to come to support.
Those demon beasts that were not intercepted by Song Yuanli and others in time, once they touched this white light wall, would immediately be bounced back by the array's rebound attack.
With the help of a second-level high-grade array, Song Yuanli and others who were fighting with the demon beasts in front gradually stood firm and resisted the pace of the many demon beasts moving forward.
The hundreds of cultivators responsible for resisting the demon beast reinforcements were all elite cultivators specifically selected by Song Yuanli and others. Facing the demon beast army rushing in madly, there was not a trace of fear on everyone's faces.
"Everyone don't be afraid, the Old Ancestor has already suppressed the Demon King, as long as we can block these demon beasts, this battle will end soon."
Song Yuanli, while manipulating magic tools to fight the enemy, did not forget to encourage everyone who was fighting desperately with the demon beast army.
These cultivators responsible for blocking the front of the demon beasts all knew that the two Core Formation Old Ancestors who guarded this place, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, had already issued a death order. This battle must defeat the demon beast army in front of them.
And if they want to do this, the fastest and most effective way is naturally to slay the two Core Formation Demon Kings leading in mid-air.
As long as the Core Formation Demon King who controls the demon beast army dies, the demon beast army will immediately fall into chaos without a leader. Without the Demon King's containment, Song Qingyu and the others can easily bring human cultivators to repel the demon beast army in front of them.
Even if they cannot annihilate these demon beasts on the battlefield, without the Demon King's command, it is difficult for them to organize such a large-scale demon beast army to move south to attack the market, and they have completely lost the danger to "Golden Mountain Market".
The success or failure of this battle depends not only on the result of Song Qingyu and the others' fighting, but also on whether everyone below can block the demon beast army that came to support, which is also very critical. Otherwise, if the Demon King and the many demon beast armies reunite, it will not be so easy to slay the opponent.
At this time, facing the demon beast army madly wanting to approach, wanting to go to support the "Golden Toad Demon King", Song Yuanli and the others who commanded the battle also understood that the battle above must have reached a critical moment.
For them, the outcome of this great battle has also reached the most critical moment. As long as they block these low-level demon beasts and don't let them go to interfere with the battlefield above, the final victory of this battle will surely belong to their human cultivator side.
However, the demon beast army is after all more numerous than the "Golden Mountain Market" cultivator side, and now there is no help from the protective mountain array, Song Yuanli and their strength on the battlefield is still at a disadvantage.
But as the Demon King above constantly cried for help, the demon beasts surrounding them and wanting to break through this defensive line became more and more, and there were many second-level Foundation Establishment demon beasts in the distance, also surrounding their location.
Soon, the elite cultivators led by Song Yuanli and others faced the demon beast army that was rushing over from all sides, and the casualties were getting larger and larger. Almost every breath, there would be cultivators who died in battle or were injured and withdrew from the battle.
But even so, facing the powerful demon beast army, everyone still did not take a step back, especially the more than ten leading Foundation Establishment cultivators like Song Yuanli, some of whom did not choose to withdraw from the battle at this time even if they were already injured.
Fortunately, Song Xinting, who was in charge of the law enforcement team in the rear, discovered that Song Yuanli and their situation was a bit dangerous, and led the law enforcement team cultivators to join the battlefield in time, which helped them stabilize the unfavorable situation temporarily.
Just when the battle below was infinitely fierce, a very huge Demon King corpse suddenly fell from the sky and smashed near the battlefield, making the figures of many cultivators and demon beasts fighting nearby tremble.
"This is the corpse of the Golden Toad Demon King, the Old Ancestor has already slain the Demon King"
"Haha... Old Ancestor is mighty! We are going to win, everyone hurry to counterattack the demon beast army."
Seeing this huge Demon King corpse, the human cultivators who were fighting bitterly below suddenly felt refreshed and shouted as they rushed toward the demon beast army in front of them.
