Chapter 688: Red Cloud Demon Emperor Attacks (Seeking Monthly Votes)

The "Golden Toad Demon King" only had early Core Formation cultivation, and its fighting strength was average, with no powerful divine abilities.

At the start of the battle, it fell into the siege of Song Qingyu and the other due to carelessness. After desperately holding on for about half a stick of incense, it still died under Song Qingyu's sword somewhat unwillingly, having failed to wait for reinforcements to save it.

Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, standing high in the sky, after slaying the "Golden Toad Demon King", did not care about the Demon King's corpse below, and immediately turned around to go to support Li Xuanyi, who was fighting with the "White Wolf Demon King" not far away.

However, when the two of them arrived at the battlefield, seeing the scene in front of them, the originally nervous expression suddenly relaxed, and a trace of surprise slowly appeared on their faces.

The "White Wolf Demon King" in front, which was not weak in strength, was fighting with a "corpse puppet" whose cultivation was also at the mid-Core Formation stage, and the one who was commanding this Core Formation "corpse puppet" to fight with it was Li Xuanyi, who was standing not far away and not participating in the battle at close range.

At this time, Li Xuanyi was holding a green jade flute magic treasure, blowing out sounds that were somewhat shocking to the heart, constantly attacking the "White Wolf Demon King".

The "White Wolf Demon King" not far away now had to deal with the entangled Core Formation "corpse puppet" while also casting spells to resist the sound wave attack released by Li Xuanyi. At this time, it was already struggling to deal with it, let alone supporting the "Golden Toad Demon King".

The Core Formation "corpse puppet" released by Li Xuanyi had strength and cultivation much more powerful than the "Jin Feng" refined by Song Qingming, and had already reached the fourth layer of Core Formation.

With her sound wave assistance, this "corpse puppet" of Li Xuanyi could actually force this "White Wolf Demon King", which could fight Song Qingyu on equal terms, into this embarrassed state, which was also beyond the expectations of Song Qingyu and the other.

If Song Qingyu had been left to deal with the "White Wolf Demon King" from the beginning, I am afraid she could at most hold the opponent back. Wanting to suppress it to this point was obviously difficult for her now.

Seeing that the strength displayed by Li Xuanyi had exceeded her own, Song Qingyu was a bit surprised in her heart, but thinking that she was also someone who had practiced powerful cultivation techniques like the "Jade Profound Scripture" like Song Qingming, she slowly accepted this fact in her heart.

"Qingyu, you two go down to help others first, just leave it to me here. Don't worry, this White Wolf Demon King has already been suppressed by me, it can't run away!"

Seeing Song Qingyu and the other supporting them, Li Xuanyi also immediately put down the jade flute in her hand, then took out a green flying sword magic treasure from her body, covered the sword body with spirit energy after casting a spell, and killed toward the location of the "White Wolf Demon King".

"Sister-in-law, you stay to help Senior Sister Li suppress the formation, I will go down to help Yuanli and the others!"

Seeing this, Song Qingyu said to Huang Siyuan, and immediately turned into a golden light and flew toward the location of Song Yuanli and the others on the ground.

Although the sudden death of the "Golden Toad Demon King" caused some chaos on the demon beast army side, because the "White Wolf Demon King" was still there, these demon beasts on the battlefield did not choose to start retreating and were still entangled with Song Yuanli and the others.

Song Qingyu just came over and saw Song Yuanli alone dealing with the siege of several Foundation Establishment demon beasts, and hurriedly slashed a leading late-stage Foundation Establishment demon beast with one sword, relieving Song Yuanli.

After a fierce battle, Song Yuanli, who had always been charging at the forefront, was also covered in wounds at this time. After just getting rid of the demon beast siege, seeing Song Qingyu's figure, he wanted to speak happily, but did not expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Yuanli, you hurry back to heal your wounds first, don't worry, we are here."

Seeing Song Yuanli, who was already covered in wounds in the battle just now, Song Qingyu was a bit worried in her heart and hurriedly asked Song Xinting to escort him back to the market to heal his wounds first.

After Song Yuanli left the battlefield, Song Qingyu put her attention back on the battlefield and led the human cultivator army behind her to start a counterattack against the demon beasts in front of her.

With the addition of Song Qingyu, a Core Formation cultivator, the cultivators of "Golden Mountain Market" were greatly encouraged, and soon reversed the unfavorable situation of the entire battlefield under the leadership of Song Qingyu.

Just when Song Qingyu led the human cultivators to counterattack the demon beast army, a very huge Demon King corpse suddenly fell from the sky, directly smashing 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.

In this battle, two Demon Kings were slain, and the demon beast army that had threatened "Golden Mountain Market" for a long time was completely defeated. The people who were still alive finally showed a long-lost relaxed expression.

Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan collected the flesh of the "Golden Toad Demon King", handed over the task of cleaning up the battlefield to Song Xinting and others, and then immediately came to Li Xuanyi not far away.

At this time, Li Xuanyi had also collected the important high-level demon beast materials from the "White Wolf Demon King", and only the huge corpse of the Demon King that was not very valuable remained in place.

"Qingyu, the things on this Demon King, except for the inner core which is of some use to me, the others are of no use to me, so I will give them all to you!"

After Li Xuanyi finished speaking, she took out the sharp claws of the "White Wolf Demon King" and its pair of somewhat strange white eyes with a movement of spirit light in her hand.

Seeing this, Song Qingyu hurriedly waved her hand: "This time we can successfully repel the demon beast army, all thanks to Senior Sister Li's support, how dare I accept this merit for no reason.

And the White Wolf Demon King was defeated and slain by you alone, we did not participate in the battle, so logically and reasonably these are what Senior Sister deserves, how dare we share these things with you."

"Yes! Senior Sister Li helped us solve a big crisis today, she can be considered a great benefactor of our "Golden Mountain Market" cultivators, just accept these demon beast materials, don't be too polite to us."

Just after Song Qingyu finished speaking, Huang Siyuan on the side also echoed.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyi took back the demon beast materials in her hand and nodded to the two: "Alright then, I will accept them first."

After chatting for a few more sentences, they returned to "Golden Mountain Market" together.

With the help of Li Xuanyi, a Core Formation cultivator, the human cultivators of "Golden Mountain Market" defeated the demon beast army besieging the market in one battle, finally allowing this market to get rid of the crisis of being besieged by the demon beast army for more than half a year since the demon beast turmoil.

However, in this final critical battle, the cultivator army of "Golden Mountain Market" also paid a not-small price. Four Foundation Establishment cultivators died on the spot, and nearly five hundred Qi Refining cultivators died in battle before winning this victory.

In addition, there were hundreds of cultivators including Song Yuanli who were seriously injured in the battle and needed to heal their wounds in seclusion first, and could no longer continue to participate in the next battle.

Although they paid a great loss to win this great battle, the cultivator side also harvested very rich spoils of war after the battle.

In addition to the high-level demon beast materials on the two Core Formation Demon Kings, the "Golden Mountain Market" cultivator army also captured thirty Foundation Establishment and nearly two thousand Qi Refining demon beasts.

Just the demon beast materials on these low-level demon beasts are worth more than 100,000 spirit stones, which is enough to be used to comfort those cultivators who were heroically injured and died in the battle. —— Just as the human cultivator side of "Golden Mountain Market" achieved a great victory, thousands of li away outside "Returning Cloud Market", a red escape light accompanied by powerful momentum had quietly arrived on the high mountain where the demon beast army in the north of the market was located.

As soon as the red light landed on an open space on the west side of the mountain top, it turned into a young man wearing black clothes with a pair of strange red eyes.

After seeing this red-eyed man appear, the "Canglong Demon King", who had been waiting in place for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to him.

"Welcome Old Ancestor!"

"Canglong, how are they preparing over there?" Standing on the high mountain and looking at the protective mountain array of "Returning Cloud Market" in the distance, the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" with a trace of excitement on his face turned and asked.

"Reporting to Old Ancestor! All Demon Kings on the side of Golden Feather Mountain have gathered. Except for the two armies led by White Wolf and Golden Toad which are still at Golden Mountain Market, the demon beast armies we brought have all arrived.

In the past few days, Old Ancestor Mo has ordered everyone to be ready, just waiting for you to come, and we can break Returning Cloud Market in one fell swoop!"

"Hmm! You did a good job this time. I will go see Mo Long first, strive to start the battle tomorrow and defeat the Carefree Sect people as soon as possible. After taking down Returning Cloud Market, this Emperor will reward you well."

"Hehe! Thank you Old Ancestor for the reward." —— Early the next morning, a loud noise above the sky suddenly startled all the human cultivators in "Returning Cloud Market".

Song Qingming, who was sitting cross-legged in a cave dwelling with his eyes closed, hurriedly put away the spirit energy wrapped around his body after hearing this loud noise outside, stood up, and walked out of his cave dwelling.

As one escape light after another flew up, "Returning Cloud Market", which had just calmed down in the night, immediately became extremely lively.

On the city wall on the north side of the market, several figures had already stopped there. Suddenly, a green escape light flashed past the crowd, and then Song Qingming's figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Senior Sister Bai, Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Chen!" Seeing Bai Yuxian and the other three who had arrived here first, Song Qingming immediately bowed and greeted them.

"Junior Brother Song is here! The Ink Dragon Demon Emperor has personally moved, the demon beast army will inevitably strengthen the attack, today is probably another fierce battle!" Chen Xuanxin, who was on the side, looked at the sky in the distance with a trace of worry after nodding slightly to Song Qingming. Following Chen Xuanxin's gaze, Song Qingming also saw that the sky above the north side of the market was already changing clouds and thunder and lightning, obviously there was a great cultivator at the Nascent Soul level fighting above, which could cause such a big movement.

Just as Song Qingming looked at the sky in the distance, the roars of demon beasts had already sounded on the north side of the market, and thousands of demon beast armies had already begun to kill toward "Returning Cloud Market" aggressively.

At this time, other sect elders stationed in the market had also come to the side of Song Qingming and the others, and everyone looked at the huge demon beast army outside the market, all showing a solemn expression on their faces.

Since "Camel Cloud Mountain" and "Iron Immortal Fort" fell one after another, the demon beast army that occupied the two places did not continue to move south, but turned back east to merge with the demon beast army attacking "Returning Cloud Market".

Although the Carefree Sect also successfully evacuated many cultivators through support using large flying boats and concentrated most of its living forces to guard "Returning Cloud Market", its strength on paper was still far lower than the demon side.

In this period of time, the Carefree Sect has also been conscripting people everywhere to continue to strengthen the defensive power of "Returning Cloud Market", waiting for reinforcements from other countries.

It's just that what can be conscripted in Wei State now are all low-level cultivators, and the strength is relatively limited. The current situation is very dangerous for the "Carefree Sect".

Whether it can hold "Returning Cloud Market" for a month and persist until reinforcements from other countries arrive, even Core Formation elders of the "Carefree Sect" like Song Qingming do not have much confidence in their hearts.

Seeing that many sect elders were all present, Bai Yuxian, as the Sect Master, immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone, the demon beast army has arrived, everyone prepare to meet the enemy. This battle today concerns the life and death of the billions of people in Wei State behind us. I hope all fellow disciples can work together to repel the enemy with me!"

"Follow the Sect Master's order!"

After everyone responded, they all took out the magic treasures on their bodies and cast their eyes on the demon beast army rolling in not far away.

This time, the demon beast army also chose to divide into several routes, rushing from four directions, and soon surrounded the entire "Returning Cloud Market", not leaving a retreat for the human side.

This scene of thousands of demon beasts galloping and attacking simultaneously, although many defenders in "Returning Cloud Market" had seen it more than once, some cultivators who had just arrived here were so frightened that they were stunned in place.

"Prepare to fill spirit stones, fire Flying Cloud Crossbows!"

Just as the demon beast army touched the market array, the Carefree Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge of commanding the battle gave an order, and countless spirit lights immediately flew out from the market array, rushing toward the demon beast army below.

The defensive power of "Returning Cloud Market" was originally much stronger than places like "Golden Mountain Market". On the city walls on all four sides, there were dense "Flying Cloud Crossbows" and "Spirit Light Giant Cannons".

During this period of time, the "Carefree Sect" took advantage of the gap when the demon beast army relaxed its attack to equip many defensive weapons that had just been transported from the rear to strengthen the market's defensive power, almost emptying all the materials stored in the sect's treasury.

Under the attack of over a hundred "Flying Cloud Crossbows" of second level or above, hundreds of low-level demon beasts running at the forefront screamed and fell to the ground. The more powerful "Spirit Light Giant Cannons" hit the place where the demon beasts gathered, directly blowing these demon beasts into a group of blood mist.

Just as the city-defending weapons showed their power, more than twenty Demon Kings leading the demon beast army immediately appeared and rushed toward the protective mountain array of the market.

Although the "Flying Cloud Crossbows" and "Spirit Light Giant Cannons" on the city wall were very sharp against those low-level demon beasts, they had no effect when encountering these powerful Core Formation Demon Kings.

Many Core Formation Demon Kings just stepped forward and made a casual blow, easily intercepting the attack of these "Flying Cloud Crossbows", and led the demon beast army to fiercely attack the market's protective mountain array.

"Don't be rampant!"

Seeing this, Bai Yuxian, standing on the city wall, scolded angrily, took out a silver flying sword with shining spirit light first, led Song Qingming and many other Core Formation cultivators, jumped out of the market array, and killed toward the enemy.

This time, in order to prevent being concentrated and broken one by one by the "Carefree Sect" like last time, these Demon Kings did not divide their troops to attack from all four sides, but gathered directly in one place.

Even without counting the "White Wolf" and "Golden Toad" Demon Kings who went to "Golden Mountain Market" to hold Song Qingyu and the others, there were still twenty-one Core Formation Demon Kings on the side of "Returning Cloud Market".

And on the "Carefree Sect" side, except for Song Qingyu and the other, Zhao Menglian was also unable to attend the battle because she was injured during the evacuation of "Iron Immortal Fort" not long ago and was in seclusion at Ancient Yang Mountain to heal her wounds.

Now in "Returning Cloud Market", including Zhang Rong who came from "Camel Cloud Mountain", the number of Core Formation cultivators is only eleven, barely half of the opponent's, among which there are two fake Core Formation cultivators, Zhang Rong and Hu Qingyun, whose strength is slightly worse.

However, in this battle, they backed onto the protective mountain array, and with the help of the third-level "Flying Cloud Crossbows" on the city wall, the third-level mid-grade puppet beast "Golden Winged Flying Tiger" controlled by several sect Foundation Establishment cultivators could also help hold back one of the opponent's Core Formation Demon Kings.

Although the "Carefree Sect" was still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of Core Formation cultivators compared to the opponent, in this kind of chaotic battle, they could still look after each other and barely hold back the opponent, not without the power to fight back.

Both sides' Core Formation cultivators started a great battle, and the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators below also took the initiative to kill out of the protective mountain array and clashed with the demon beast army attacking the market. For a time, the battlefield was full of shouts, and various spells and divine abilities were flying everywhere.

High in the sky, Li Mufeng, who had fought over a hundred rounds with the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor", was also in a state of deadlock at this time.

Although the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor"'s cultivation was slightly higher than Li Mufeng's, already reaching the fifth layer of Nascent Soul, Li Mufeng had a fourth-level mid-grade magic treasure left by the previous sect ancestor, True Person Daoxuan, which was quite powerful, and his fighting strength was not much worse than the opponent's.

Since the demon beast turmoil, both sides had fought more than a dozen great battles in the past half year, all of which were evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other, unable to open the deadlock of the entire battlefield by defeating the opponent.

After another round of confrontation, both sides pulled away from each other. What surprised Li Mufeng was that the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor" suddenly stopped in place and took the initiative to put away a curved blade magic treasure in his hand.

"Fellow Daoist Li, we have fought for so long and can't tell the winner, it's really meaningless. I have a proposal, I want to discuss it with you, I don't know if you want to hear it?"

"Oh! I don't know what high opinion Fellow Daoist Ink Dragon has?" Hearing the words in the other party's mouth, Li Mufeng was also slightly surprised and temporarily stopped the attack.

Seeing that Li Mufeng had the idea of talking to him, the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor" was happy and continued to say: "Fellow Daoist Li also knows that now my demon army is powerful, and you have been retreating steadily, only able to hold on to this place.

Even if you have the heart to hold on and wait for reinforcements, I am afraid it is impossible to persist for too long. I think you should simply hand over Returning Cloud Market, and I can guarantee to open the road and let you leave.

From now on, with Purple Star Market as the boundary, this piece of Returning Cloud Market will belong to our demon race. We can sign an alliance with you, and will not command the demon beast army to move south in the future. What do you think?"

"Humph! You think well. Let us give you Returning Cloud Market, wouldn't the north of Wei State be yours to come and go as you please in the future? Do you think I will agree to such an alliance?"

Hearing the proposal of the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor", Li Mufeng snorted coldly and immediately rejected the other party's proposal.

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Li, I am giving you a chance, but you can't grasp it, then don't blame me for not reminding you. You came out today, I am afraid you may not be able to go back."

"Humph! Fellow Daoist has a good tone."

To Li Mufeng's cold attitude, the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor" also flashed a trace of displeasure on his face, and then spirit light flashed on his body, turning into his demon beast true form, becoming a black dragon a hundred zhang long.

The "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor" opened his mouth wide and spat out three black balls, and then spat out a large group of black mist to wrap these three balls.

These three black balls, once touching the black mist spat out by the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor", immediately became like hungry beasts, began to swallow these black mists frantically, and soon grew from only the size of a palm to the size of a zhang.

Seeing the black balls spat out by the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor" getting bigger and bigger, and there were waves of powerful spirit light on them, Li Mufeng also felt that this thing might not be easy to deal with, so he hurriedly cast a spell to control the flying sword magic treasure in his hand, attacking the location of the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor" quickly, wanting to interrupt the other party's spellcasting first.

However, Li Mufeng's move was also in the expectation of the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor". Facing the flying sword attacking not far in front of him, the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor" raised his huge claws and grabbed it with all his strength, directly grabbing this magic treasure in his hand.

Seeing that the flying sword magic treasure he controlled was restrained by the opponent and could not move forward, Li Mufeng hurriedly cast a spell to try his best to take back his flying sword, and then the flying sword in his hand also grew dozens of times larger under the attention of his magic power.

Li Mufeng, holding the magic treasure tightly, directly leaned forward and swung the giant sword, slashing at the balls that had not yet fully absorbed the black mist in front of the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor".

Seeing Li Xuanyi's aggressive attack, the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor" still didn't change his face, didn't choose to stop casting spells, but instead showed a somewhat disdainful look at Li Mufeng.

Seeing that the other party actually wanted to rely on his flesh to take this blow, Li Mufeng also flashed a trace of doubt, not knowing why the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor" would rather take the risk of being injured than stop casting spells.

"Not good, there is an ambush in front!"
