A loud bang sounded. Even the group of first-rank demonic beasts couldn’t help taking a few steps back from the force.
An intense storm obscured their vision.
A moment later, the storm subsided.
Zhou Shu had already disappeared before their eyes, and the translucent city wall that stretched for ten kilometers had also disappeared.
The first-rank demonic beasts had ugly expressions on their faces. For a whole two hours, the million-strong Demon Realm army and more than a hundred first-rank demonic beasts had been unable to break through the city wall!
Even though the human was already vomiting blood, he still didn’t take half a step back.
As long as he didn’t take a step back, no demonic beast could cross the city wall.
All the demonic beasts felt a deep sense of defeat.
Although this human had lost, why did they feel that they were the ones who had failed?
“Chase!” a humanoid demonic beast shouted coldly. “This is the Demon Realm. They can’t escape! No matter what, we have to kill them all! Otherwise, our Demon Realm will lose face!”
“Kill, kill, kill!” A million demonic beasts roared, and their killing intent soared into the sky.
Even though Zhou Shu was hundreds of kilometers away, he could still hear the roars of the million demonic beasts.
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. The tightness in his chest finally eased.
Stopping a million demonic beasts wasn’t as easy as it looked, especially without using the divine ability Total Annihilation.
If not for the fact that he had just obtained the Eight-Nine Arcane Art and was stronger than before, he might not have been able to last until now.
Even so, he was badly hurt.
But it was worth it. If he hadn’t stopped the million-strong Demon Realm army, the Ten Nations Alliance wouldn’t have been able to escape.
Zhou Shu had paid the price of being injured to pull away from the Demon Realm army.
“Zhou Shu!” Yin Wuyou was the first to Zhou Shu when he caught up to the group.
Zhou Shu patted her hand, indicating that he was fine.
“How’s everyone doing? Can everyone still walk?” Zhou Shu asked.
With just a glance, he could tell that almost everyone in the Ten Nations army was injured. Some of them were so injured that they could only rely on their comrades to support them.
Even Meng Bai and the other first-rank experts were covered in blood. It was unknown if the blood belonged to the enemy or them.
“Yes!” Meng Bai and the others looked at Zhou Shu with admiration.
Unexpectedly, they had really broken through the blockade of the million-strong Demon Realm army!
Although there were many casualties, they still made it through.
“Let’s quicken our pace,” Zhou Shu said. “We’re only hundreds of kilometers away. The Demon Realm army will catch up soon. I can’t stop them again for the time being.
“We don’t have time to rest and recuperate until we reach our destination!”
Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Bai Qiancheng, and the others nodded with solemn expressions. They each gave their orders. The less injured carried the more seriously injured. Everyone gritted their teeth and sped up again.
Zhou Shu followed behind the Ten Nations Alliance and cleaned up the traces of the army. Although he had temporarily escaped the Demon Realm army, the war was far from over.
Until they successfully arrived at the secret lair of the Great Demon Yao Lian, they would be in danger.
They might be caught up by the Demon Realm army at any time, or they might encounter another Demon Realm army at any time.
Either possibility was a mortal danger to the current Ten Nations Alliance army.
Everyone was tense. Even though they were exhausted and their injuries were worsening, no one stopped.
“Your Highness, we can’t go on like this.” Meng Bai slowed down and came to Zhou Shu’s side.
As he spoke, he looked back into the distance.
Smoke and dust could already be seen in the distance. It was caused by a large number of demonic beasts running.
From the commotion, the Demon Realm army was at most four to five hundred kilometers away from them.
In this vast grassland, even if Zhou Shu had tried his best to erase their tracks, it was almost impossible to hide from the Demon Realm army.
“Hold on a little longer,” Zhou Shu said. “If I’m not wrong, there’s a big river over the mountain in front of us.
“As long as we can reach that river, we have a chance to completely escape the Demon Realm army.”
Meng Bai frowned. Although he didn’t know why Zhou Shu knew the terrain of the Demon Realm so well, if they could reach the mountain in front of them, it would help them escape even if there was no river.
“Your Highness, the soldiers are almost at their limit. I’m afraid many will not make it to the front,” Meng Bai said with a sunken voice.
Although Zhou Shu and a group of first-rank experts had charged out of the encirclement of the Demon Realm army, the soldiers of the Ten Nations Alliance had faced many demonic beasts.
Against nearly ten times the amount of enemies, not many could escape unscathed.
They were already very lucky to be alive. It was impossible not to be injured.
Zhou Shu frowned. Almost a third of the Ten Nation Alliance army was already swaying. Without anyone to support them, they might even fall to the ground immediately.
Zhou Shu was silent for a moment before taking a Cosmic Bangle from his wrist and handing it to Meng Bai. “Distribute these to everyone according to the severity of their injuries.”
The Breakthrough Pills he had accumulated during this period of time were all in this Cosmic Bangle. There were more than a thousand of them.
