“Su Hao!” Upon seeing his sudden appearance, Wang Long felt as if a lightning bolt had struck through his mind, unraveling many mysteries that had previously confounded him. “So it turns out that the one who wanted to take advantage of the conflict between Nanhua City and the Demon Clan Army is him!”
“What Benefactor? Are you talking about Su Hao, the young hero?” Lu Feng thought that Su Hao and his companions were sent by their Sect to finally provide support, so he cast a puzzled glance at Wang Long's murmurs.
“Lu Feng, the City Lord, you should not be too optimistic,” Wang Long explained with a bitter smile. “Their purpose in coming this time is definitely not simple.” He then recounted the encounter with the two mysterious individuals he and Lu Rou had met earlier.
“Damn! Your divine race can only resort to petty tricks and put on a facade of calmness to cover your own guilt!” The Lingchuan Demon Lord suddenly unleashed a Fire Essence explosive strike, clashing directly with one of the Sword Formations, temporarily forcing the Flying Swords back. His cold gaze was now fixed on Su Hao.
To him, Su Hao was an even greater target than that person named Wang Long or even Lu Feng, the City Lord. Although he pretended to dismiss him, he could faintly sense that this young man had more than just the Sword Formation up his sleeve; they might truly fall into his hands during this operation!
“It seems that Demon Lord Your Excellency holds a deep prejudice against our divine race.” As the youngest and most radical spontaneous organization of the divine race, if there was anything that Su Hao could not tolerate, it was a demon daring to flaunt power in front of him! “But that's fine; I believe starting today, Your Excellency will change your perspective! Mountain Xuan Formation!”
“Nine Peaks Mountain Xuan, iron wall a thousand fathoms!”
A chorus of voices echoed from the mountains, and at the same time, the Earth Elemental Power surged, forming walls of Earth Element Blade Wall slicing toward the Lingchuan Demon Lord from all directions!
Individually, no single wall of the Earth Element Blade Wall was frightening, but as each blade wall reached its target without hitting the Lingchuan Demon Lord, they did not dissipate into nothingness. Countless walls connected to form a “Spirit City” made of blades of Earth Element, trapping the Lingchuan Demon Lord within!
A serious expression appeared on the face of the Lingchuan Demon Lord. He was unaware of the true power of this Mountain Xuan Formation, but he knew that what originally divided their three groups of Flying Sword Sword Formation had now turned into three formations attacking both the Nine-Headed Demon Lord and the Succubus Lord! Their pressure would undoubtedly be immense; given enough time, unexpected situations could arise!
Thus, he absolutely could not sit back and wait for them to launch their attack calmly; he had to take initiative!
“Are you saying that their real intention this time is to occupy Nanhua City, turning it into their own stronghold?” Even though faced with various crises, Lu Feng, who usually remained calm and composed, was startled by this news. “Lord Wang Long, do you have any evidence?”
“No. Previously I overheard two of his subordinates discussing this matter. Now seeing them pulling rank and you, as the Lord of the City, have not received any messages from us regarding what happened with Zhao Zheng, I can only make an educated guess,” said Wang Long, not shying away from admitting his speculative nature. He believed that ultimately, it was up to Lu Feng to decide whom to trust. He trusted that with Lu Feng's displayed intelligence, he would make a wise choice.
“But why would they?” Hearing what Wang Long said, although Lu Feng had not yet made a final decision on whom to believe, he already felt a sense of vigilance toward both Su Hao and those divine race reinforcements in the mountains. “No one in all of Nanhua City would support such actions. Unless they can eliminate all high-ranking officials in one fell swoop along with highly respected experts like Elder Zhongxuan, how could they possibly take over? Moreover, how could they expect to use Nanhua City as one of their bases in the future? Do our various Major Sect not see this and remain inactive?”
“Ha ha, that's because you overlooked something important, City Lord,” reminded Wang Long. “Don't you find it strange? Why is it that despite your keen interest in news about the Second Miss, you have yet to receive any updates about Zhao Zheng?”
“Perhaps he was eliminated by some enemy along the way? Maybe while you were observing the enemy, you were also discovered by them.”
“The team led by Zhao Zheng does not consist of just one person; each member is very familiar with the terrain around Nanhua City,” shook his head. “Moreover, we have personally sensed over these past few days that neither their defenses nor those of the Demon Clan are particularly tight. After all, once they enter the vicinity of Nanhua City, they need not worry about forces outside making bold attacks.”
"This..."
"With the intelligence of the Lord of the City, it should be obvious that the only explanation is that they have indeed entered Nanhua City, but they were intercepted by some force before they could see you!"
"A traitor!" Lu Feng's eyes narrowed sharply.
"Heh, judging by their current performance, they are at least strong enough to surpass the Three Great Demon Lords. If there is also a highly placed traitor capable of severing the connection between you and them to some extent, do you still think it is impossible for them to achieve their goals?"
Lu Feng did not directly answer Wang Long's question, but his expression grew even darker.
At this moment, the battlefield had already determined its victor!
The Lingchuan Demon Lord soon realized that he had been overly concerned about the other two Demon Lords. He should focus more on his own situation.
What initially seemed like a trap that merely confined him turned out to pose a significant threat to his strength. As he desperately tried to break free, the lethal intent within the formation was fully revealed!
The sharpness of the Earth Blade was no less than that of Thunder Element or Ice Element. That heavy power transformed into an overwhelming force that felt like it was plummeting from a great height. No matter how skillfully Lingchuan Demon Lord dodged or countered with his magic, every attack targeted his vital points, making him feel that each strike could land at any moment. If he were hit, his fate would be nothing but annihilation!
"When did the divine race develop such a terrifying formation?" Lingchuan Demon Lord sensed that those who wielded the Earth Blade were not particularly strong, at least not compared to him. Yet they could combine their powers into such a fearsome formation!
This was not merely a threat to himself!
In the entire divine realm, the outcome of battles has always depended on the absolute experts among various races!
Ancient Colossal Deity!
Ancient Demon!
Ancient Giant!
Just think about it: if the divine race has found a way for these remnants to gather their strength enough to threaten an Ancient Demon! That would be equivalent to unleashing a top-tier expert to join forces against others!
Two against one, three against two, four against three...
Countless Earth Blades flew, sealing off all of his attacks, all evasions, all… defenses!
With no offense to launch, no defense to uphold, evade?
As long as you are not afraid of losing even this tiny bit of ground!
"Fire! Earth!" Faced with such a formation, the Lingchuan Demon Lord realized he had no way to break free! The only option was to clash head-on!
Without any magical skills, he purely relied on his own strength to extract the fire and earth elements from Primordial Power and explosively directed them toward one point in the most direct and destructive manner.
Boom!
Invisible walls of blades were directly shattered, but that powerful Earth Elemental Power quickly regenerated wall after wall of blades.
Su Hao's expression changed.
He did not expect that their countless efforts to devise this formation would be turned into a pure consumption of power by the opponent's "unreasonable" approach! Despite having more people on their side, it was still uncertain whether they could outlast or intimidate the Lingchuan Demon Lord!
