Chapter 690: Bloody Battle without Retreat

Chapter 689: Bloody Battle without Retreat

In such a situation, Wang Cheng would probably be like Xiao Chen. Initially, he had even suggested not caring about these people’s survival, wanting to hand in the proof of completion first.

Chen Xiao stood beside Xiao Chen. When he saw Xiao Chen’s expression, he consoled Xiao Chen with a smile, saying, “Junior Brother Xiao Chen, don’t worry too much. This kind of spatial storm may be destructive, but it does not last long. The spatial crack will heal automatically. Given our cultivation, we will not be in any danger.”

However, this was not the reason why Xiao Chen had an unsightly expression. Instead, it was because he had used the Golden Savage Ox sculpture twice earlier, expending too much Mental Energy.

Even so, Xiao Chen smiled faintly in response to Chen Xiao’s consolation. However, he did not say anything.

Under Hu Hai’s arrangements, the sect disciples and the passing cultivators all gathered on top of the city walls.

A rough count gave no less than five thousand Martial Kings. However, there were much fewer Martial Monarch experts. Hu Hai only managed to gather about two hundred.

Jun Si walked over and asked, “Senior Brother, are these people enough?”

Hu Hai frowned heavily and whispered, “Under normal circumstances, it would be able to last until the sect sends sufficient reinforcement. However, if too many Rank 8 Demonic Beasts appear, we will have some trouble.”

When the many sect disciples saw the four true inheritors here, they all felt rather optimistic. Their expressions showed no worry about the danger.

True inheritors did not just represent the might of their status. They also grasped the Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques of the Supreme Sky Sect. In a large-scale battle, they would be able to bring out the might of the Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques to their limits.

Having the four true inheritors here was like having a hundred Martial Monarchs. So everyone felt more relaxed.

Hu Hai’s expression turned grave as he looked at the sky. “The spatial crack is about to open. Everyone, be careful!”

When Xiao Chen heard that, he looked up. He saw hundreds of black lightning flickering in the center of the black clouds that stretched to the horizon. Then, a whirlpool-shaped spatial crack slowly opened.

In an instant, boundless black Demonic Qi poured out in all directions of the whirlpool.

When the spatial crack opened completely, thousands of black hail shot out like cannonballs. When Xiao Chen looked closer, he realized that what appeared to be small hail from a distance were actually large, ferocious Demonic Beasts with red eyes and black scales all over their bodies.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Demonic Beasts from the Demonic World landed on the ground like cannonballs, blasting out deep pits. The cultivators and regular citizens who had not managed to get into the city in time were killed immediately. These Demonic Beasts were different from Fiend Beasts or Spirit Beasts. They were ferocious beasts born in the Demonic World itself. There were various types, but they all had black shining scales.

The scales appeared strangely hard, and the Demonic Beasts’ claws gleamed with a cold light. The Demonic Beasts tore the fleeing people in half with casual swipes that looked very cruel.

The city gates were already closed. The fates of the ordinary citizens who failed to enter were already sealed. Their lives were extinguished like flames before Xiao Chen’s eyes.

Fortunately, the Demonic Calamity only came from one side of the city; the city gates in the other directions did not face any attacks.

As Hu Hai looked at the Demonic Beasts falling from the sky like rain, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Fortunately, it is just some ordinary Demonic Beasts. Elder Bai, prepare to fire the Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons.”

Bai Ao nodded gently. Then, he ordered the cannoneers crouched in the city walls to make their preparations.

After a while, the Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons hidden in the walls fired. They sent thousands of light beams interweaving to form a screen of death made up of light. When the shots landed, all the Demonic Beasts shattered into pieces.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

A rain of blood fell from the sky. After a few rounds of cannon fire covering a large area, less than fifty percent of the Demonic Beasts landed on the ground.

However, the numbers of the Demonic Beasts were still terrifying—at least a hundred thousand of them. As they ran and roared, they were like a vast army charging at the city walls.

The Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons needed to be loaded with Spirit Stones. So reloading them took time. Furthermore, there were dead angles. In the end, the defense of the city wall relied on the five-thousand-odd Martial Kings gathered at the last minute.

Faced with a dense crowd of Demonic Beasts, several cultivators, who had never seen such a large-scale battle before, felt some fear in their hearts. Their right hands holding their weapons could not help but tremble.

When Xiao Chen saw this, he frowned slightly. However, he could not say much about it. From the time the black clouds appeared until now, it had only been four hours. The Supreme Sky Sect had lacked time to prepare. This level of performance was already pretty good.

If it were a Rank 8 or Rank 7 sect, all the cultivators might have opted to flee the city and escape. They would not care about the life and death of the ordinary citizens.

Suddenly, a Demonic Beast that walked upright leaped nimbly up the city walls and appeared before everyone. Black scales covered it, and spikes lined its back. Its face looked like that of an ape.

There was a loud ‘bang,’ and blood splattered everywhere.

Hu Hai had expressionlessly sent out a punch and exploded this Demonic Beast. He said coldly, “Prepare for battle. No one is to retreat without my order. Otherwise, you will be killed without exception!”

After this ape-type Demonic Beast leaped over the city walls, streams of Demonic Beasts followed it over, launching themselves at anyone they saw.

Xiao Chen single-handedly defended an area. As his figure flashed, he executed Dragon Claw Fist. His Vital Qi surging, he exploded the Demonic Beasts that launched themselves over with his punches.

After a while, he discovered that it was as Hu Hai had said: these were just some weak Demonic Beasts. Aside from their numerical advantage, there was nothing scary about them.

Hence, Xiao Chen started to go easy on his Vital Qi, using only four hundred tons of force to defeat the enemies.

The others had discovered the same thing as well. They realized that the Demonic Beasts were not as scary as they had imagined. Soon, their faces filled with excitement.

These cultivators circulated their Quintessence and killed the approaching Demonic Beasts like they were just chopping vegetables.

When Hu Hai saw that, he quickly reminded these people to conserve their Quintessence.

However, the cultivators on the city wall forgot this as they killed more Demonic Beasts. Killing Qi spread in their eyes. As some of these people were not Supreme Sky Sect disciples, they did not listen to Hu Hai’s words.

Black clouds churned in the sky, blocking the light for five hundred kilometers. The sky seemed like it would drop.

Demonic Beasts continuously fell from the dark sky like hail. It seemed like this would continue forever. When the Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons fired, blood spattered everywhere.

A choking stench of blood permeated the air. When seen from a distance, a scarlet mist seemed to fill the entire place.

Pits and crevices covered the ground along with corpses of Demonic Beasts and humans lying messily, piled up everywhere. It was a scene out of hell.

It was hard to imagine that six hours ago, this place was the Kunlun Realm that was filled with overwhelming Spiritual Energy, bright sunlight, and fresh air.

The disciples on the city walls that were killing the Demonic Beasts with ease earlier started to move more stiffly as they swung their weapons. Their complexions slowly turned red.

There were too many. Too many Demonic Beasts were climbing up from the bottom. Furthermore, this was relentless, never pausing even for a second.

After the cultivators killed a batch of Demonic Beasts, another batch would take its place. Even if they were dispatched with an easy motion, after repeating that motion for thousands of times, the arm would naturally turn stiff.

Another more serious problem existed—Quintessence. These cultivators could not take time out to replenish their Quintessence in this continuous and intense battle.

Finally, someone who was at his limits said to Hu Hai, “Senior Brother Hu, we can’t endure much longer.”

Hu Hai had already expected this to happen long ago. He shook his head slightly and said, “Jun Si, Wang Cheng, Chen Xiao, and Xiao Chen, follow me down and mow down these Demonic Beasts.”

These five people were powerful. They had vast and pure Quintessence. With their strength, if they swept through the entire place, they would be able to kill all the Demonic Beasts on the city walls.

Without waiting for new Demonic Beasts to charge over, the five jumped off the city walls, and they each executed a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique.

“Plum Blossom Swordplay!”

“Seven Stars Surrounding the Moon!”

“Heaven and Earth Sword Heart!”

“Sky Breaking Ax Chop!”

“Return of the Azure Dragon!”

Five strong Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques swept through the place like a fierce gust of wind. As the strong energy surged, anguished cries resounded.

The five Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques shredded an immense swath of Demonic Beasts, clearing the area three kilometers from the city gates.

The cultivators on the wall immediately used this precious breathing space to sit down and recover.

Hu Hai held his huge ax with one hand and smiled. “Hang on for another two hours. The experts of the main sect should arrive by then. Meanwhile, let’s kill more of these weak Demonic Beasts. Charge with me!”

Behind them was the majestic Spirit Water City. In front of them was the vast Demonic Beast horde. Now that everyone’s morale was boosted, they rushed towards the torrential Demonic Beast horde without any fear.

Each taking a different direction, the five clutched their weapons tightly and charged forward boldly.

Even when Xiao Chen saw the multitude of Demonic Beasts, he did not feel any fear. Instead, he felt like his blood had ignited, feeling inspired.

Dark clouds covered the sky; there was no sun to give light.

Xiao Chen and the others each defended a direction. The weapons in their hands trembled as they sent out various Martial Techniques, defending against the horde of Demonic Beasts single-handedly.

An incredible scene appeared before everyone. Five youths held back the flood-like Demonic Beast on their own.

Each of the five killed thousands of Demonic Beasts, repulsing tens of thousands.

When the cultivators on the city walls, who had more or less recovered their Quintessence, saw this scene, they revealed extreme shock in their eyes.

“How powerful! They truly deserve to be the true inheritors of the Supreme Sky Sect!”

“The expressions ‘proud sons of heavens’ and ‘dragons and phoenixes of men’ truly apply to them.”

“Indeed, who would dare to face so many Demonic Beasts on their own, not even letting a single Demonic Beast rush over.

Everyone revealed expressions of respect. They all sang praises for the five. The strong would be able to gain respect and awe anywhere they went.

In this scene where everyone’s blood surged with excitement, everyone wanted to be the ones leading the charge, battling the horde alone, and gaining the respect of everyone.

“That’s strange. Who is that white-robed bladesman? He is not a true inheritor!”

Finally, someone noticed Xiao Chen. When they saw his appearance and attire, they could not help but be surprised. Unexpectedly, someone who was not a true inheritor had dared to charge down as well.

“Hey, that’s true. Who is that? How can he dare to charge down?”

After a while, everyone noticed the white figure. Unexpectedly, he could defend against the charge of thousands of Demonic Beasts together with the four true inheritors.

Xiao Chen felt very calm as he dealt with the endless horde of Demonic Beasts, executing every move he knew.

He only treated his army of Demonic Beasts as a big test, a test of all the Martial Techniques he had learned. Such an opportunity could not be found anywhere else.

Under such an intense situation, the deficiencies that Xiao Chen had not noticed before in the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique and the Four Season Saber Technique were exposed. This insight was a big benefit to him.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, a loud roar came from the black whirlpool-shaped crack. A massive Demonic Beast squeezed its upper body through the crack, struggling hard to come out.

The strong aura its roar projected spread from above, causing the Demonic Beast army below to freeze for a moment.
