Chapter 1330: Annihilated in a Single Strike
“This is quite the coincidence, isn’t it? Just as we’re feeling drowsy, someone delivers a pillow.”
Huo Yang’s excitement surged.
No matter the legion they faced, if it bore the Heavenly Water Family’s banner, it was her prey to crush.
At that moment, her third brother, Huo Lie, who had been observing for a while, spoke with a complex expression.
“This should be one of the Heavenly Water Family’s first-tier legions—the Ning Han Legion, led by the Fairy Ning Han. If I’m not mistaken, at full strength, it boasts power equivalent to a Demon General Realm Seventh Stage cultivator. That’s already formidable.”
Huo Yang’s enthusiasm only grew.
“Demon General Realm Seventh Stage? Wiping them out would surely break the Heavenly Water Family’s heart.”
Her hands itched to act.
She turned to Su Jingzhen and You Yue.
“Sister You Yue, Brother Jingzhen, this is a free gift of legion murderous qi. We can’t let it slip away.”
You Yue’s expression mirrored Huo Yang’s excitement, if not surpassed it.
After all, these legions were key to elevating their Demon Warrior Legion to the true Demon King Realm level.
Meanwhile, the approaching Ning Han Legion abruptly halted.
“The Demon Warrior Legion is indeed here. But it seems they’re not alone.”
“Commander, perhaps we should retreat. If it were just the Demon Warrior Legion, we might stand a chance head-on. But with Divine Flame Family legions alongside them, we’re outmatched.”
“Most of the Heavenly Water Family’s forces haven’t entered the Desolate Zone. We’re too few.”
Several commander-level figures in the Ning Han Legion turned to a tall figure in icy-blue armor at the formation’s center.
This legion brimmed with confidence.
They dismissed rumors of the Demon Warrior Legion’s might.
They had come to settle the score once and for all.
Yet they hadn’t anticipated encountering so many Divine Flame Family legions here.
Under her subordinates’ counsel, the Fairy Ning Han decisively ordered a retreat.
But having entered the Demon Warrior Legion’s sights, how could they escape unscathed?
“You’ve come all this way—why rush off?”
In an instant, the Demon Warrior Legion condensed their legion murderous qi.
They charged toward the Ning Han Legion at full speed.
“Stay!”
Huo Yang’s haughty voice erupted from within the legion.
Without hesitation, the murderous qi dragon unleashed a terrifying orb of energy, hurling it straight at the Ning Han Legion.
Its power blazed at the half-step Demon King Realm level, unconcealed.
Sensing this overwhelming force, the Fairy Ning Han’s expression twisted in shock.
“This aura… it’s not Demon General Realm Ninth Stage—it’s half-step Demon King Realm!”
“Who claimed the Demon Warrior Legion was only at Demon General Realm Ninth Stage? They’ve deceived us!”
Despair crashed over her.
In the next moment, she barely conjured an icy-blue shield.
Boom!
The murderous qi dragon’s orb slammed into the shield.
It shattered like frail paper, dissolving instantly.
The residual might of the half-step Demon King Realm attack ripped through the Ning Han Legion’s murderous qi.
As their legion qi collapsed, a vast swath of its five hundred members burst into bloody mist!
Even a first-tier Heavenly Water Family legion couldn’t withstand the Demon Warrior Legion.
“Little sister, spare the Fairy Ning Han!”
Just as the murderous qi dragon primed a second strike to finish the remaining Demon Sage Realm cultivators, Huo Lie, Huo Yang’s third brother, shouted from behind.
The Demon Warrior Legion halted, withholding the second orb.
Instead, they absorbed the boundless murderous qi scattered across the void.
Yet even after consuming the qi of a Demon General Realm Seventh Stage legion like the Ning Han Legion, they remained far from true Demon King Realm strength.
With the absorption complete, Su Jingzhen and the others stepped forward from the Demon Warrior Legion.
They approached the handful of surviving Demon Sage Realm cultivators clinging to life.
The Fairy Ning Han’s icy-blue armor lay in shards, her blood-streaked face a mask of hatred and terror.
“To dare confront my Demon Warrior Legion in the Desolate Zone—your courage is admirable, if foolish. Don’t glare at me like that. This time, every legion the Heavenly Water Family sent here will meet its end. This will become your family’s nightmare.”
Huo Yang met the Fairy Ning Han’s venomous stare with a chilling laugh.
Fear flickered in the fairy’s eyes.
She knew Huo Yang spoke truth.
The Demon Warrior Legion’s half-step Demon King Realm power was beyond comprehension.
But before she could respond, Huo Yang turned to Huo Lie and the Divine Flame Family’s core disciples who had arrived.
“Well, I’ve left you a live one. We’re off. As I said, stay here two more days before moving to other regions. That will ensure your safety. Otherwise, as you’ve seen, legion battles are merciless—one misstep, and it’s over.”
Her tone remained grave.
Huo Lie and the others nodded solemnly.
The Demon Warrior Legion’s single explosive orb had shown them that this time, it alone could dominate all opposition.
Their presence was redundant.
Huo Lie’s gaze then settled on the Fairy Ning Han.
“Why endure this? Follow me, and I’ll ensure your safety here.”
His voice carried a tangled mix of emotions.
Su Jingzhen and the others raised their brows in surprise.
They hadn’t expected Huo Lie to show interest in an enemy disciple amid the irreconcilable feud between the Divine Flame and Heavenly Water Families.
But they paid it little mind. Since Huo Lie and his group opted to stay, the Demon Warrior Legion welcomed the lighter burden.
They swiftly departed.
Yet upon returning to the Ancient Desolate City’s former site, their brows furrowed.
Huo Yang had mentioned a passage linking to other regions from the city.
Now, with the city gone, that passage had vanished into the sands.
Su Jingzhen, You Yue, and the others stood at the site, their divine consciousness sweeping outward.
No trace of energy fluctuations remained.
“The passage is lost. To reach neighboring regions, we’ll need a long trek.”
Huo Yang scowled.
Crossing an entire region was possible but would waste precious time.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen’s consciousness locked onto the Ancient Desolate Demon King, the Demon King Realm expert…
