Chapter 731: Departure |
In the battlefield between the human-demon alliance and the
In the battlefield between the human-demon alliance and the savage tribe, a Nascent Soul Cultivator had just slain an opponent.
Before even a victorious smile could appear, receiving the transmission from Hu Jian, his expression changed drastically, and he hurried to find a Soul Transformation Cultivator.
"Senior Gu, the Demon Suppression Army has sent word. Large numbers of savage tribe are advancing to besiege this location."
Even from a distance, unable to wait to get closer, he shouted loudly, his voice carrying for miles, reaching over half of the people on the battlefield.
Previously, upon seeing the strange pillars of light emitted by the savage tribe, cultivators from both the human and demon races had already harbored some doubts. Now, upon hearing the warning, most of them believed it.
At this moment, there was no time to focus on the impending victory. A Demon Clan Cultivator revealed his true form, transforming into a colorful leopard and rushing outward.
In just a moment, the leopard had returned, confirming the situation for everyone.
"What are you standing around for? Retreat quickly!"
However, the savage tribe had prepared for a long time, intending to annihilate the human-demon alliance army entirely. How could they allow them to escape?
They deployed various means, entangling the cultivators of both races tightly, making it impossible for them to escape.
Instantly, the battle on the city wall became even more intense. Both sides were now using their most desperate tactics, fighting for their lives.
Meanwhile, Wang Hong and the others, as they drew closer to the savage tribe, had already been spotted by both sides.
Even the second-tier warriors within the Demon Suppression Army could clearly see the large savage tribe army opposite them.
As the encirclement was not yet complete, Wang Hong had originally planned to command the fleet to slip through the gaps between the two savage tribe forces.
However, with the vast visibility on the sea and the presence of fifth-tier savage tribe from the opposite side, they had long detected this fleet through Divine Sense.
Then, as they drew closer, several savage tribe groups simultaneously converged towards the direction of the Demon Suppression Army.
Now the distance between both sides was too close. It was too late to change course and break through. They could only grit their teeth and charge ahead. As long as they could pass this obstacle, the rest of the journey would be safe.
The savage tribe on the opposite side seemed to have not learned how to build ships. At this moment, they all stood on giant trees, freely traversing the sea as if it were flat ground.
Although there was still a considerable distance between the two sides, the various Spirit Energy Cannons on the sea ships had already been charged, their muzzles aimed at the approaching savage tribe.
"Fire!"
Following Hu Jian's command, countless beams of light shot out from the fleet, rapidly heading towards the savage tribe opposite.
As these beams approached the savage tribe, they all exploded violently, turning into a torrent of magical arts, wreaking havoc among the savage tribe.
At the same time, the savage tribe showed no weakness. They took out peculiar-shaped fruits and hurled them towards the fleet.
Wang Hong and the others had already encountered these fruits. The defensive shields on the sea ships had been activated long ago. These fruits transformed into various types of attacks, hitting the shields with resounding impacts.
Both sides refused to back down in their mutual attacks, finally drawing close and engaging in the most intense battle.
Meanwhile, Wang Hong's Divine Sense detected that the various parts of the savage tribe in the distance had already summoned trees with runes on them.
Once these trees were summoned, they emitted a bright radiant light, especially highlighting the runes on them.
After these runes shimmered brightly, they flew into the air and connected in the sky, completely enveloping the entire small island.
The Demon Suppression Army's fleet happened to be situated on the outer edge of this encirclement.
Although Wang Hong didn't know the effectiveness of this encirclement formed by Rune-laden trees, he knew it couldn't be anything good and inwardly cursed his luck.
With the encirclement complete, the savage tribe could now dispatch more forces to hunt down the Demon Suppression Army. Two more squads were rushing here from afar.
Seeing this scene, Wang Hong also went all out. Sixty-four crimson flying swords flew out from within him, stabbing towards the savage tribe ahead.
These savage tribe ahead were no match for him. In an instant, a large number of them were injured or killed.
At this moment, a roar sounded. Among the savage tribe, a giant towering five or six zhang tall, wielding a pair of stone hammers, walked barefoot on the surface of the sea.
"Boom! Boom!"
Compared to Wang Hong's flying swords, the opponent's large hammers were like toothpicks. Yet, when the two clashed in mid-air, they produced earth-shattering sounds.
At this moment, Wang Hong also soared into the air, engaging in a fierce battle with this savage tribe member. The aftermath of their confrontation caused the seawater to surge over ten zhang high.
Whether it was the Demon Suppression Army or the savage tribe, they instinctively kept their distance. Anyone who got too close would meet a fate of being annihilated.
Meanwhile, after receiving the transmission, the army of the human-demon alliance, under desperate efforts, finally shook off the entanglement of the savage tribe and reached the coast.
It was only then that they discovered the strange formation set up by the savage tribe. Once they left the small island, they felt a sense of stagnation on the sea, as if trapped in a swamp, their bodies heavy as if weighed down by a thousand catties.
Although the human-demon alliance members knew the danger ahead, they could only grit their teeth and break through to the sea's surface.
Staying on the island, although temporarily free from restrictions, was akin to seeking temporary relief while still heading for inevitable death. Only by striving to break through did they have a glimmer of hope.
While the members of the human-demon alliance were suppressed by the formation, struggling to advance on the sea, the savage tribe chasing after them moved freely within their large formation and were quickly catching up.
Outside the large formation set up by the savage tribe, the battle between the Demon Suppression Army and the savage tribe continued. As time passed, the number of savage tribe members seemed to increase.
At this moment, Wang Hong's opponents had also become two tall savage tribe members, both of them equivalent to the Soul Transformation stage.
And the longer the delay, the greater the danger.
At this moment, from a mile behind Wang Hong, a pitch-black vortex appeared, gradually giving birth to Poisonous Bees.
These Poisonous Bees were slightly larger than thumbs, vibrating their wings, wielding sharp tusks, and sporting fierce countenances.
These Poisonous Bees, bred in space, could naturally appear anywhere within the range of Divine Sense. However, such a phenomenon seemed too miraculous and was not easily understood, inviting suspicion.
So he devised a trick to let the Poisonous Bees fly out from this Divine Sense passageway, making it appear at most like an advanced mystical technique.
As soon as these Poisonous Bees appeared, they pounced on the savage tribe currently fighting with the Demon Suppression Army.
Tens of thousands of Poisonous Bees flew out, their strength not inferior to the Demon Suppression Army, and with the advantage of numbers, even slightly stronger.
With the help of the Poisonous Bees, the Demon Suppression Army quickly gained the upper hand, killing the savage tribe members who had intended to block their way in droves.
"You all, break through first and return to the Flying Fish Island camp. I'll catch up later."
Seeing that the Demon Suppression Army had gained the absolute advantage, Wang Hong commanded Hu Jian through Message Transmission.
Hu Jian also knew that if they didn't take advantage of the current superiority to break through and leave, they would soon be trapped by the savage tribe again.
The opportunity was rare, so the Demon Suppression Army fiercely fought their way through the savage tribe and quickly left.
If they stayed behind, they would only become a burden to His Majesty. Thus, leaving first was the wisest choice.
As a Soul Transformation Cultivator, breaking through the blockade of two equally tiered opponents naturally would be much easier.
