Chapter 688: Red Cloud Demon Emperor attacks (Please vote for monthly tickets)

The "Golden Toad Demon King" had cultivation only at the Jin Dan early-stage realm, and its spell battle strength was average to begin with, without any powerful divine abilities.

As soon as the battle started, it was somewhat careless and fell into the siege of Song Qingyu and the two. After struggling to support 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, who were standing high in the sky, after killing the "Golden Toad Demon King," did not care about the Demon King's corpse below, and immediately turned around to go and support Li Xuanyi, who was fighting the "Bai Lang Demon King" not far away.

However, when the two of them arrived at the battlefield, seeing the scene in front of them, the originally somewhat nervous expressions immediately relaxed, and traces of surprise slowly appeared on their faces.

The "Bai Lang Demon King" in front, whose strength was not weak, was fighting with a "corpse puppet" whose cultivation was also at the Jin Dan mid-stage, and the one directing this Jin Dan "corpse puppet" to fight it was exactly 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 in her hand, blowing bursts of somewhat heart-shaking sounds from her mouth while casting spells, constantly attacking the "Bai Lang Demon King."

The "Bai Lang Demon King" not far away currently had to deal with the Jin Dan "corpse puppet" entangled with it on one side, and also had to cast spells to resist the sound wave attacks released by Li Xuanyi on the other side. At this time, it was somewhat exhausted to deal with it, let alone go and support the "Golden Toad Demon King."

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

With the assistance of her sound waves, this "corpse puppet" of Li Xuanyi could actually force this "Bai Lang Demon King," which could fight Song Qingyu on par, into this miserable state, which was indeed beyond the expectations of Song Qingyu and the two.

If Song Qingyu had been left to deal with the "Bai Lang Demon King" from the beginning, I am afraid she could at most only contain the other party. Wanting to suppress it to this extent, it was clearly difficult for her now.

Seeing that the strength Li Xuanyi displayed had already exceeded her own, Song Qingyu felt somewhat surprised in her heart, but thinking that she was also a person who had cultivated powerful techniques like the "Jade Profound Scripture" like Song Qingming, she slowly accepted this fact in her heart.

"Qingyu, you two go down and help the others first. I have this here. Please rest assured, this Bai Lang Demon King has already been suppressed by me, it can't run away!"

Seeing Song Qingyu and the two come to support, Li Xuanyi also immediately put down the jade flute in her hand, subsequently took out a green flying sword magic treasure from her body, covered the sword body with spiritual energy after casting spells, and directly killed toward the location where the "Bai Lang Demon King" was.

"Sister-in-law, you stay and help Senior Sister Li suppress the formation, I will go down first and 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 "Golden Toad Demon King" suddenly died, causing some panic on the beast army side, because the "Bai Lang Demon King" was still there, these beasts on the battlefield did not choose to start retreating now, and were still entangled with Song Yuanli and the others.

Song Qingyu had just arrived when she saw Song Yuanli alone dealing with the siege of several Foundation Establishment beasts. She hurriedly slashed and killed a leading late-stage Foundation Establishment beast with one sword, relieving the siege for Song Yuanli.

After a fierce battle, Song Yuanli, who had always been rushing to the very front line, was also covered in wounds at this moment. Seeing Song Qingyu's figure after just breaking free from the beast siege, he wanted to speak happily, but unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood directly.

"Yuanli, you hurry and retreat to heal your wounds first. Please rest assured, we are here."

Seeing Song Yuanli, who was already covered in scars from the battle just now, Song Qingyu felt somewhat worried in her heart, and hurriedly had Song Xuanting on the side escort him back to the workshop to heal his wounds first.

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

With the addition of Song Qingyu, this Jin Dan cultivator, the "Mount Jin Workshop" cultivators' morale was greatly boosted, and soon they reversed the unfavorable situation of the entire battlefield under Song Qingyu's leadership.

Just as Song Qingyu led the human cultivators to counterattack the beast army, a scream suddenly came from the sky, and subsequently there was no movement.

After hearing this scream, the beast army, which had already been beaten by Song Qingyu and the others until they retreated repeatedly, finally started to turn around and flee north at this moment, soon becoming a defeated army.

Song Qingyu and the others naturally did not waste this great opportunity to hit the beast army hard, and immediately led the "Mount Jin Workshop" cultivators to start pursuing, and this pursuit lasted for over a hundred miles.

Until the remaining beasts were already defeated and scattered into the depths of the Floating Yunshan Range, Song Qingyu only then led the crowd back to the workshop.

In this battle, they killed two Demon Kings and completely defeated the beast army that had threatened "Mount Jin Workshop" for a long time. The crowd who were still alive also finally revealed a relaxed look that had not been seen for a long time.

Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, after collecting the flesh of the "Golden Toad Demon King," handed the task of cleaning the battlefield to Song Xuanting and the others, and then immediately arrived at Li Xuanyi's place not far away.

At this time, Li Xuanyi had also collected the important materials on the "Bai Lang Demon King." Only the giant corpse of the remaining Demon King, which was not very valuable, was left on the spot.

"Qingyu, the things on this Demon King, besides the inner core which is somewhat useful to me, the others are of no great use to me if I keep them. Simply give them all to you!"

After Li Xuanyi finished speaking, the spiritual light in her hand moved, and she took out the "Bai Lang Demon King's" pair of sharp claws and its pair of somewhat strange white eyes.

Seeing this, Song Qingyu hurriedly waved her hand: "This time we could successfully repel the beast army, it all relies on Senior Sister Li's support. How would I dare to accept this merit for no reason.

Moreover, the Bai Lang Demon King was defeated and killed by you single-handedly, we did not participate in the battle. Reasonably and logically, these are all things Senior Sister deserves. How would we dare to share these things with you."

"That's right! Senior Sister Li helped us solve a great crisis today, and can be considered a great benefactor of our "Mount Jin Workshop" cultivators. Just accept these beast materials directly, don't be overly polite with us."

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

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

After the few people chatted for a few more sentences in place, they returned to "Mount Jin Workshop" together.

With the help of Li Xuanyi, this Jin Dan cultivator, the human cultivators of "Mount Jin Workshop" defeated the beast army besieging the workshop in one battle, finally allowing this workshop to get rid of the crisis of being besieged by the beast army for more than half a year since the beast turmoil.

However, in this last critical battle, the "Mount Jin Workshop" cultivator army also paid a not-small price. Just the Foundation Establishment cultivators who died on the spot were four, and the Qi Condensation cultivators died in battle nearly five hundred, only then winning this victory.

Besides this, there were also hundreds of cultivators like Song Yuanli who were seriously injured in the battle and needed to go into closed-door meditation to heal their wounds first, and could not continue to participate in the next battle.

Although in order to win this great battle, "Mount Jin Workshop" here paid a great loss, after the battle, the cultivator side also harvested very rich war trophies.

Besides the "Bai Lang Demon King" and "Golden Toad Demon King," the high-tier beast materials on these two Jin Dan Demon Kings, the "Mount Jin Workshop" cultivator army also captured thirty Foundation Establishment and nearly two thousand Qi Condensation stage beasts.

Just the beast materials on these low-tier beasts were already worth over a hundred thousand spirit stones, enough to be used to compensate those cultivators who were bravely injured and died in battle. —— Just as the human cultivator side over at "Mount Jin Workshop" achieved a great victory, thousands of miles away outside "Guiyun Workshop," a red escape light accompanied by powerful momentum had already quietly arrived at the high mountain where the beast army was located in the north of the workshop.

After the red light just landed on a piece of open space on the west side of the mountain top, it immediately 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 already been waiting in place for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to him.

"Welcome, Chen Chen Laozu!"

"Canglong, how are the preparations over there?" After standing on the high mountain and looking at the mountain-protecting formation of "Guiyun Workshop" in the distance, the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor," whose face carried a trace of excitement, only then turned around and asked.

"Reporting to Chen Chen Laozu! All Demon Kings over at Mount Jinyu have gathered. Besides the two armies led by Bai Lang and Golden Toad that are still at Mount Jin Workshop, the beast armies we brought have all arrived in place!

In these few days, Chen Chen Laozu Mo has already ordered everyone to make preparations. Just wait for you to come, and we will be able to break through Guiyun Workshop in one fell swoop!"

"Hmm! You did well this time. I will go and see Brother Molong first, strive to start the battle tomorrow and defeat the Xiaoyao Sect as soon as possible. After taking down Guiyun Workshop, this Emperor will reward you all well."

"Hehe! Many thanks, Chen Chen Laozu, for the reward." —— Early the next morning, a loud noise above the sky suddenly startled all human cultivators in "Guiyun Workshop."

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

Following one escape light after another flying up, "Guiyun Workshop," which had just calmed down in the night, immediately became incomparably lively.

On the city wall on the north side of the workshop, a few figures had already stopped here. Suddenly, a green escape light flashed past the crowd, and subsequently, Song Qingming's figure appeared in front of the crowd.

"Senior Sister Bai, Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Chen!" Seeing the three people, Bai Yuxian, who had already arrived here one step ahead, Song Qingming immediately bowed and greeted them.

"Junior Brother Song has arrived! The Brother Molong Demon Emperor has personally taken action, the beast army will definitely strengthen the attack. Today is afraid to be another fierce battle!" Chen Xuanxin on the side, after nodding slightly to Song Qingming, looked at the sky in the distance with a trace of worry and said. Following Chen Xuanxin's gaze, Song Qingming also saw that the sky above the north side of the workshop was already changing clouds and thundering with lightning at this time. Clearly, there were great power cultivators of the Nascent Soul level fighting above, only then could they make such a big movement.

Just as Song Qingming looked at the sky in the distance, bursts of beast roars had already sounded on the north side of the workshop, and an army of tens of thousands of beasts had already started to kill toward the "Guiyun Workshop" direction aggressively.

At this time, other sect elders stationed in the workshop had also arrived beside Song Qingming and the others. Looking at the large-scale beast army outside the workshop, a solemn look was revealed on everyone's faces.

Ever since "Mount Tuoyun" and "Iron Immortal Castle" fell one after another, the beast army that occupied the two places did not continue to move south, but turned around and went east to join forces with the beast army attacking "Guiyun Workshop."

Although the Xiaoyao Sect also successfully evacuated many cultivators through support using large flying boats and concentrated most of their living strength at "Guiyun Workshop" to guard, their strength on paper was still far lower than the beast side.

In this recent period of time, the Xiaoyao Sect was also conscripting manpower everywhere to continue to strengthen the defensive strength of "Guiyun Workshop," waiting for reinforcements from other countries to support.

It was just that what could be conscripted within the Wei Kingdom now were all low-tier cultivators, and their strength was still relatively limited. The current situation for the "Xiaoyao Sect" was still very dangerous.

Whether they could hold "Guiyun Workshop" for a month and persist until reinforcements from other countries

Seeing that the many sect elders before him had all arrived, Bai Yuxian, as Sect Master, immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone, the demon beast army has arrived. Prepare to meet the enemy. Today's battle concerns the life and death of the hundreds of millions in Wei behind us. I ask that all fellow disciples work together with me to repel the enemy!"

"We will strictly follow the Sect Master's orders!"

After the crowd responded, they all drew their magic treasures and cast their gazes toward the demon beast army sweeping in from not far away.

For this attack, the demon beast army also chose to split into several routes, surging in from four directions. Very quickly, they completely surrounded Guiyunfang, leaving no path of retreat for the human side.

Although the many defenders in Guiyunfang were not seeing the scene of ten thousand demon beasts charging at once for the first time, some cultivators who had just arrived here were so frightened they could not help but stand frozen in place.

"Prepare to load spirit stones and fire the Cloud-Flying Crossbows!"

The moment the demon beast army made contact with the market's grand formation, the Xiaoyao Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge of the battle gave an order, and countless rays of spiritual light immediately flew out from the market's formation, heading straight for the demon beast army below.

The defensive strength of Guiyunfang was originally much stronger than places like Jinshanfang; the four city walls of the market were densely packed with Cloud-Flying Crossbows and Spirit-Light Giant Cannons.

During this period, taking advantage of the gaps when the demon beast army relaxed its attacks, the Xiaoyao Sect had equipped many more defensive weapons recently transported from the rear to strengthen the market's defenses, almost emptying the supplies stored in the entire sect's treasury.

Under the attack of over a hundred second-tier or higher Cloud-Flying Crossbows, the hundreds of low-tier demon beasts running at the very front immediately fell to the ground with miserable cries. The even more powerful Spirit-Light Giant Cannons, striking where the demon beasts were gathered, blasted these beasts directly into clouds of blood mist.

Just as the defensive weapons here displayed their might, the twenty-plus demon kings leading the demon beast army immediately appeared and headed straight for the market's protective formation.

Although the Cloud-Flying Crossbows and Spirit-Light Giant Cannons on the city walls were very sharp at dealing with those low-tier demon beasts, they had no effect at all when encountering these powerful Jin Dan demon kings.

The many Jin Dan demon kings only needed to step forward and strike casually to easily block the attacks of these Cloud-Flying Crossbows, leading the demon beast army to violently assault the market's formation.

"Stop being so arrogant!"

Seeing this situation, Bai Yuxian, standing on the city wall, shouted in anger. She was the first to take out a silver flying sword glowing with spiritual light, and leading Song Qingming and many other Jin Dan cultivators, she leaped out of the market's formation to kill the enemy.

This time, to prevent being concentrated upon and broken one by one by the Xiaoyao Sect as they were last time, these demon kings did not split their forces to attack from four sides, but instead gathered directly in one place.

Even without counting the two demon kings, the Bai Lang and the Golden Toad, who went to Jinshanfang to contain Song Qingyu and the others, there were still twenty-one Jin Dan demon kings here at Guiyunfang.

As for the Xiaoyao Sect, excluding Song Qingyu and his companion, Zhao Mengling was also unable to attend and participate in the battle because she was injured while evacuating Tiexian Fortress not long ago and was currently in seclusion at Mount Guyang to heal.

Now in Guiyunfang, including Zhang Rong who had rushed over from Mount Tuoyun, the number of Jin Dan cultivators was only eleven, barely half that of the opponent, and among them were two False Core cultivators with slightly weaker strength, Zhang Rong and Hu Qingyun.

However, in this battle, they had the protective formation at their backs and the third-tier Cloud-Flying Crossbows on the city walls to help. The third-tier mid-grade puppet beast, the Golden-Winged Flying Tiger, controlled by several Foundation Establishment cultivators of the sect, could also help contain one of the opponent's Jin Dan demon kings.

Although compared to the opponent's power in Jin Dan cultivators, the Xiaoyao Sect was still at an absolute disadvantage overall, in such a chaotic battle, they could still look after each other and barely contain the opponent, not reaching the point of having no power to fight back.

The Jin Dan cultivators on both sides began a great battle, and the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators below also took the initiative to kill their way out of the protective formation, clashing with the demon beast army attacking the market. For a time, the battlefield was filled with deafening shouts, and all kinds of spells and divine abilities were flying everywhere.

High above, Li Mufeng, who had already fought over a hundred rounds with the Brother Molong Demon Emperor, found the battle situation also in a state of stalemate.

Although the Brother Molong Demon Emperor's cultivation was slightly higher than Li Mufeng's, having reached the level of the fifth layer of Nascent Soul, Li Mufeng possessed a fourth-tier mid-grade magic treasure left behind by the previous ancestor, True Person Daoxuan, which was quite formidable, and his combat strength was not much worse than the opponent's.

Since the demon beast unrest, the two sides had already fought over a dozen battles in the past half year, and they were evenly matched, with neither able to do anything to the other, unable to break the stalemate on the entire battlefield by defeating their opponent.

After another round of clashes, the two sides pulled apart. To Li Mufeng's surprise, the Brother Molong Demon Emperor suddenly stopped in place and took the initiative to put away the curved blade magic treasure in his hand.

"Fellow Daoist Li, we have fought for so long without deciding a winner; it is truly meaningless. I have a proposal I would like to discuss with you. I wonder if you would be willing to listen?"

"Oh! I wonder what high opinion Fellow Daoist Brother Molong has?" Hearing the words from the opponent, Li Mufeng was also slightly surprised and temporarily stopped his attack.

Seeing that Li Mufeng had the idea of talking with him, the Brother Molong Demon Emperor's face brightened, and he immediately continued: "Fellow Daoist Li is also clear that our demon race army is powerful, while you have been retreating steadily and can only hold this place.

Even if you have the heart to hold out for reinforcements, I fear it is impossible to persist for long. I think you should simply hand over Guiyunfang, and I can guarantee to clear a path and let you leave.

From now on, with Zixingfang as the boundary, this area of Guiyunfang will belong to our demon race. We can establish a covenant with you, and from now on, we will not command the demon beast army to move south. What do you think?"

"Hmph! Your thinking is quite good. If we let you have Guiyunfang, wouldn't the northern part of Wei be a place you can come and go as you please from now on? Do you think I would agree to such a covenant?"

Hearing the Brother Molong Demon Emperor's proposal, Li Mufeng snorted coldly and immediately rejected the opponent's suggestion.

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Li, I am trying to give you an opportunity, but you cannot grasp it yourself. Then don't blame me for not reminding you. If you came out today, I fear you might not necessarily be able to go back."

"Hmph! Fellow Daoist, what a big tone."

At Li Mufeng's cold attitude, a flash of displeasure also appeared on the Brother Molong Demon Emperor's face. Then, spiritual light flashed on his body, and he manifested his true demon beast form, turning into a black flood dragon one hundred zhang long.

The Brother Molong Demon Emperor opened his large mouth and spat out three black spheres, then immediately spat out a large mass of black mist to wrap around these three spheres.

These three black spheres, once they touched the black mist spat out by the Brother Molong Demon Emperor, immediately became like wild beasts that were extremely hungry, beginning to crazily devour the black mist, and very quickly grew from only the size of a palm to one zhang in height.

Seeing the black spheres spat out by the Brother Molong Demon Emperor growing larger and larger, with powerful spiritual light erupting from them, Li Mufeng also felt that this thing might be difficult to deal with. He hurriedly cast a spell to control the flying sword magic treasure in his hand, quickly attacking the position where the Brother Molong Demon Emperor was, wanting to interrupt the opponent's spellcasting first.

However, this move by Li Mufeng had long been anticipated by the Brother Molong Demon Emperor. Facing the incoming flying sword not far in front of him, the Brother Molong Demon Emperor raised his huge claws and directly grabbed forward with all his might, catching the magic treasure in his hand.

Seeing that the flying sword magic treasure he controlled was restrained by the opponent and could not advance any further, Li Mufeng hurriedly cast a spell to pull back his flying sword with all his might. Then, the flying sword in his hand also grew dozens of times larger under the infusion of his magic power.

Li Mufeng, gripping the magic treasure tightly, leaned forward and swung the giant sword, slashing toward the spheres in front of the Brother Molong Demon Emperor that had not yet fully absorbed the black mist.

Seeing the aggressive strike from Li Mufeng, the Brother Molong Demon Emperor's expression remained unchanged. He did not choose to stop his spellcasting, but instead gave Li Mufeng a look of disdain.

Seeing that the opponent actually wanted to rely on his physical body to take his strike head-on, a flash of doubt also crossed Li Mufeng's mind. He did not know why the Brother Molong Demon Emperor would rather risk injury than stop his spellcasting.

"Not good, there is an ambush ahead!" (End of chapter)
