Since it was the second operation, everyone knew what they were supposed to do. With familiarity, their efficiency naturally increased!
What made things even smoother was that these Low-Level Demons were truly frightened by their first ambush. When they saw Wang Long and the others making a counterattack, almost no one had the slightest intention to resist, except for a few.
If the first ambush caused chaos due to Wang Long and his group overwhelming them, this time it was even clearer as they witnessed Wang Long and his team turning to flee. Most of the casualties were due to trampling each other! Moreover, Wang Long and his group didn't even need to drive them away; they charged straight toward the second main camp!
"Same old method. They have little resistance now. You all pursue them from behind and cause maximum destruction while I block any potential expert teams they might have!"
"Understood!" Everyone had no objections to Wang Long's arrangement.
Wang Long initially thought that this time the experts from the Demon Clan would react faster than last time. After all, only the Low-Level Demons could be scared by such chaos. However, he didn't expect that Li Fan and Lu Rou had already taken down nearly ten large camps. A few Demon Experts did show up, but they were all insignificant characters.
If it weren't for Wang Long's ability to sense the surrounding situation and the tangible losses they suffered, he would almost suspect that the Demon Clan had set a trap for him.
Originally, Wang Long was happy to save energy since any reckless ones wouldn't withstand one or two of his strikes. But now he couldn't find an excuse to bring Lu Rou's little wild horse back!
Encouraged by Lu Rou, everyone pressed on directly toward the tenth sub-camp!
"Wait!" At that moment, Wang Long sensed dozens of powerful experts capable of matching him rushing toward them from a distance. "Lu Rou, Li Fan, retreat immediately!"
"Oh no, we were just about to take this camp..."
"I said retreat! Did you hear me? If anyone delays, I'll send them back to Nanhua City right away!" Knowing this group of experts was formidable, Wang Long didn't give Lu Rou any chance to bargain and shouted at her.
"Fine!" Lu Rou had no choice but to let Li Fan lead their retreat.
"Thunderstorm!" Wang Long had no intention of confronting so many experts head-on. He directly gathered Thunder Element Power and struck it into the sky. Instantly, the weather changed dramatically as thick bolts of lightning descended from above, continuously splitting and forming a vast Thunder Net that not only greatly delayed the approaching experts but also inflicted significant damage on the large camp below. Meanwhile, he turned and fled without looking back.
“Divine Thunder Shield!” The Nine-Headed Demon Lord felt a chill in his eyes and immediately summoned a magical artifact, placing it on his right arm and raising the shield above his head as he flew forward. Bolts of lightning struck his large shield, but they could not inflict any damage on the Nine-Headed Demon Lord; all were absorbed by the Thunder Element Shield.
With the Nine-Headed Demon Lord leading the charge, the others had no reservations and followed him as they advanced slowly.
However, this wave of Thunder Element still greatly affected their speed. By the time they finally broke through this “thunderstorm,” Wang Long and Lu Rou had long since escaped without a trace.
“Damn it!” The Nine-Headed Demon Lord, who had fought countless battles throughout his life, was encountering such an enemy for the first time!
Was he too bold or too timid? On one hand, they dared to launch two consecutive surprise attacks against their camp with such an absolute disadvantage, yet on the other hand, they didn’t even give him a chance to engage them before turning and fleeing!
Although he had successfully forced Wang Long and the others back, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord felt an overwhelming anger with nowhere to vent it. Unable to control his emotions in a fit of rage, he suddenly spread his arms wide, and a powerful aura formed a storm centered around him!
Mo Xi was startled and didn’t even have time to offer comfort before flying away to the outskirts. Fortunately, the nearby Demon Experts reacted quickly enough not to be caught directly in this storm of malevolence, but the Low-Level Demons below were not so lucky. They had already been taken by surprise by the powerful thunderstorm and now faced their leader's wrath with no chance to plead their case!
“Mo Xi!”
“Your subordinate is here.” Hearing the Nine-Headed Demon Lord call him, Mo Xi could only overcome his fear and step forward.
“You take several leaders along with a team of elite warriors and patrol this area day and night. You must not give them any chance for a sneak attack, understand?”
Mo Xi gritted his teeth and replied, “Understood! I will not fail in my duty!”
Feeling the schadenfreude expressions of his companions around him, Mo Xi couldn’t help but smirk inwardly.
He knew exactly what these people were thinking. Most of this direction was filled with transport teams; patrolling such a large army was no easy task. However, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord had never stated that his mission was to cover all defenses. He could interpret it as ensuring that their own camp remained safe. At least for your camp... good luck!
News of the Demon Clan's army rapidly spread in all directions from Nanhua City. What had been a source of worry became a relief for many, as the unknown enemy was now revealed, allowing them to respond with a clearer purpose. Additionally, during this time, they had made ample preparations, and the nearby experts, including those from Xuanmen, had gathered in Nanhua City, significantly increasing Lu Feng's forces.
However, it was strange that the Brahma Demon King of the Demon Clan had yet to reveal himself, leading some to hope that perhaps, as Lu Feng, the City Lord, suggested, the Demon Clan's target might not be Nanhua City after all. It could be Sky City or another major city. If that were the case, despite the large numbers of the Demon Army, there might still be a chance for victory.
The outer scouting teams had already begun skirmishing with the advance units of the Demon Clan. Although their numbers were vast, their elite forces were relatively few, which meant they had not suffered significant losses.
Nonetheless, bad news continued to pour in. The critical mountain passes on the outskirts were falling one after another. The Demon Clan, relying on their overwhelming numerical advantage, showed no concern for casualties. At each pass, they attacked relentlessly from above and below using divine techniques, magical artifacts, formations, and physical methods until they forcibly captured each stronghold.
In the current world scenario, even under the rule of a capable Human Emperor, such a situation would be impossible. Regardless of how strict or powerful the Human Emperor's rule was, there would always be avenues for escape or resistance—such as fleeing—which could lead to greater chances of survival. Even if direct rebellion did not arise among his subordinates, he could not guarantee basic morale.
However, within the Demon Clan, such issues seemed non-existent. The low-level demons exhibited absolute obedience to their leader—without any negotiation—even if it meant facing death.
In just seven days, aside from the experts from Xuanmen in the northwest who had established the Nine Peaks Profound Absolute Cliff Shield Formation without being breached by the Demon Clan, all other directions around Nanhua City had been completely surrounded by the Demon Clan!
A great battle was imminent!
