Chapter 120: A Great Enemy Presses Upon the Borders

"What?"

Immediately, the faces of all the Alien Races changed drastically, and an atmosphere of terror instantly permeated the entire Arena.

"Demon Beasts? How could they know we are here?"

"Could it be that someone has exposed our whereabouts?"

"What exactly is going on?"

Everyone turned to look at that injured member of the Alien Race.

Clutching his wound where blood flowed incessantly, that Alien Race member said in pain, "I... I don't know either; I am from the Cloud Sea Tribe. Originally, our King and people from other Tribes had all arrived, but... but they said they wanted to give the New Demon Emperor a warning shot, so they ordered us to wait in the forest a hundred li away. Yet unexpectedly, a huge group of Demon Beasts suddenly appeared and, without saying a word, began slaughtering us."

Hearing this, Xu Que's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch!

Give me a warning shot? Heh, aren't you just asking for death? This is a classic case of Acting Cool failing and getting Poem "Grass" instead!

As for the rest of the Alien Races, they became even more terrified.

"Launching a slaughter right off the bat, those Demon Beasts have clearly come prepared."

"It's over; we might already be surrounded!"

"But this doesn't make sense; how would those Demon Beasts know we are holding the Coronation Ceremony here? And why choose today of all days?"

"There must be a traitor passing intelligence."

"Indeed, our race has lived in hiding for so many years without incident; if not for someone passing intelligence, it would be impossible to attract so many Demon Beasts."

"What a vicious heart! Colluding with enemies from years past to slaughter our own kin; who exactly is it!"

Inside the Great Hall, many of the Alien Races were both shocked and furious!

Someone asked, "Exactly how many Demon Beasts have arrived? If we join forces, do we stand a chance in battle?"

With a face full of fear, that injured Alien Race member shook his head in despair: "We cannot fight them; their numbers are too great, comparable to four or five Beast Tides. I don't know the exact number that came, but it is absolutely no less than ten thousand, and... and they even have a leader at Infant Transformation Stage Layer One!"

"What?"

Hearing these words, everyone present was thoroughly shocked.

No less than ten thousand? And there's even an Infant Transformation Stage expert; this... this truly intends to exterminate our Alien Race!

"It's over!" A man's body swayed slightly before he collapsed to the ground.

"No less than ten thousand Demon Beasts; even if they are all only at Foundation Establishment Stage or Core Formation Stage, they could trample this place into ruins!"

"No, just that single Infant Transformation Stage expert is enough to wipe out everyone here!"

"It's over; our race... is in peril!"

"What exactly did we do wrong? Why must they hunt us down to the last man!"

Instantly, the entire Great Hall was shrouded in a haze of despair, and many of the Alien Races fell into hopelessness.

Su Ling'er and the others also knitted their brows tightly, their expressions grave, their faces filled with worry!

Several elders of the Heavenly Demon Tribe could not stop their hands from trembling as they murmured, "Heaven intends to destroy our race!"

"Why... why treat our race this way!"

Su Ling'er looked at Xu Que, sighed gently, and said with a face full of sorrow, "You have only just ascended the throne; they won't even leave you a single day. Now... now what should we do?"

Xu Que smiled, pressed his finger against Su Ling'er's forehead between her eyebrows, rubbed it, and said, "Don't always be so gloomy; you'll get wrinkles. As for those Demon Beasts... heh, however many come, I'll kill that many!"

However many come, kill that many!

Xu Que's voice was already filled with thick killing intent, making people's hearts chill with fear!

Su Ling'er was slightly stunned, then shook her head and said, "The opposing side has an Infant Transformation Stage expert coming; even if we notify the Ancestors of our tribe now, I'm afraid it will be too late!"

"Infant Transformation Stage? I've never been afraid of them!" A trace of eagerness flashed through Xu Que's eyes.

Infant Transformation Stage! Ever since his clash with Zhang Danshan back then, Xu Que had always felt wary of experts at that realm.

But now that he had stepped into Nascent Soul Stage Layer Four, facing a Demon Beast at Infant Transformation Stage Layer One, Xu Que couldn't help but want to test exactly who was stronger and who was weaker!

"No, we cannot sit here and wait for death!"

Just then, an elder of the Alien Race suddenly stepped out from the crowd and shouted loudly, "Staying here will only lead to a dead end; it's better to fight our way out, break through the heavy encirclement of Demon Beasts; perhaps we can still survive."

The entire Arena fell slightly silent, and then madness ignited in the eyes of most people.

Even animals, when driven to a desperate situation, will to some extent unleash their fighting spirit and bite back; let alone now, with so many here from the Alien Races, having suffered oppression for many years, and now being driven to a desperate situation by Demon Beasts—they all felt the impulse to fight to the death.

Immediately, the elder's shout received responses one after another.

Several young members of the Alien Race stood up and shouted loudly, "Indeed, let's fight them to the death!"

"Moreover, on the Frontline right now, our kin from other Tribes are also fighting; if we charge up there, we can definitely catch those Demon Beasts off guard!"

"Whether we live or die, it's the same; might as well go all out!"

"Even if we die, we must take a few Demon Beasts down with us as backups!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Instantly, more and more of the Alien Races rose to their feet, shouting with all their might, filled with fighting spirit.

Several senior members of the Alien Race turned around one after another, looked at Xu Que, and requested, "We beg Demon Emperor Highness to lead us in breaking out of the encirclement!"

However, Xu Que merely shook his head slightly and said with solemnity, "They have over ten thousand Demon Beasts, plus an Infant Transformation Stage expert presiding over them; do you have any confidence in breaking out? Even if you do break out, how many people do you think will ultimately survive?"

Xu Que indeed did not favor their so-called fight to the death; it was far too unworthy.

And his words were like cold water poured over them, instantly extinguishing the fighting spirit that had surged in many people's heads.

However, quite a few people were provoked into anger and said furiously, "As the Demon Emperor, you are now here undermining morale; if you are afraid, you can just stay here yourself and wait to die; don't drag us down with you."

"Heh!"

Xu Que couldn't help but give a cold smile, shook his head, and said, "I greatly admire your courage to fight to the death, but fighting to the death also depends on the situation! Now that the enemy's great army is pressing down, and with just this few of you wanting to charge up and engage them in a bloody brawl, this is equivalent to committing suicide; only an idiot would do such a thing!"

"Then what do you say we should do? Hide here with you and wait for them to kill us? In that case, I would rather die on the Battlefield!" a man from the Alien Race said sarcastically.

Xu Que smiled faintly: "Why bother? With Us here, why must you fight to the death? We have not yet fallen to such a plight!"

At these words, all four seats were shocked!

Everyone turned to look at Xu Que in astonishment.

Su Ling'er could not help but be moved; she asked in surprise, "You... you have a way?"

Having witnessed with her own eyes the countless miracles Xu Que had created, and now seeing him remain so calm and composed under such circumstances, hope suddenly blossomed in her heart!

Could it be that move, the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus? No, although the power of that Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus is immense, facing so many Demon Beasts and an Infant Transformation Stage expert, it would likely be difficult to prevail! He must have another method!

Su Ling'er looked at Xu Que full of expectation.

Xu Que smiled lightly and said, "I have a method that will not lose a single soldier or horse, guaranteeing we annihilate them completely until they wail for their fathers and cry out for their mothers!"
