"Do not forget, although Wang Long is alone and has the means to evade our Flying Cross Star Morning Annihilation Formation's detection, his companions do not possess such abilities. We are now very close to the area where they signaled. As long as Shunshen Song Shuping and that Cai Burin enter our formation's sensing range, they will no longer be able to act so recklessly. In fact, by pursuing Cai Burin and Song Shuping, we might even force Wang Long out!
Tell me, can Wang Long just stand by and watch as his companion and subordinate is taken down by us? Once he shows himself, we will never give them a chance to escape!"
"Oh!"
Hearing the analysis from the Demon Lord of the Great Blade was indeed very reasonable; the warriors of the Demon Clan finally regained some spirit and hope.
At that moment, a skilled warrior from the Demon Clan rushed in: "Report to you, Demon Lord of the Great Blade."
"Uh, what is it?" The smile on the Demon Lord of the Great Blade's face nearly froze.
It couldn't be that unfortunate; he had just lifted his subordinates' morale, and he hoped nothing bad would happen to dampen their spirits!
"Three Demon Lords, our scouts at the front have sensed the positions of Cai Burin and Shunshen Song Shuping. We can now pursue them at full speed."
"Good! Well done! Heavy rewards!" This was the best news for the Demon Lord of the Great Blade, no, for all of them. All the demons who heard him speak stood up excitedly, looking at the Demon Lord of the Great Blade.
"Haha, then what are we waiting for! The entire army advance at full speed and ignore Wang Long's disturbances behind us. As long as we find Song Shuping and the others, victory will be within our grasp!"
"Kill!"
The demons immediately responded in unison.
Originally, given the range of the Flying Cross Star Morning Annihilation Formation, it would not be possible for them to catch up in a short time. However, what the Demon Lord of the Great Blade aimed for was to rush into their formation at maximum speed before Cai Burin and Song Shuping realized their position, significantly closing the distance between both sides. If Song Shuping were to use a teleportation technique directly, they could generally determine their escape route and future plans based on their directional shift—if they hesitated and directly flashed eastward, then there would be no need to pursue further. That would indicate they were retreating; as long as they slowly pushed them back and contacted the nearby Demon Army for a pincer attack, they would have no way out.
As he anticipated, after running about three miles, they triggered a warning formation. Now Cai Burin and Song Shuping should have sensed their pursuit. Taking advantage of this moment, the Demon Lord of the Great Blade began using his Spiritual Essence to sense the formation and determine their teleportation direction!
West! Directly west!
This was the second best news for them, next to the east.
The preparations made by the Demon Lord of the Great Blade in advance took into account that there were more troops stationed there. More importantly, even if they broke through this layer of defense, further ahead lay a vast plain and a large lake. At that point, even if they were at a considerable distance, there would be nowhere to hide. They could unleash their magical artifacts and obliterate that entire area; it would be impossible for them to survive!
At that moment, they also sensed that a team of experts behind them suddenly lost contact. He knew that it must have been the work of Wang Long.
Now it was a matter of who was faster between the two sides!
On a small hill, watching Cai Burin and Song Shuping sitting calmly on a large rock, the Demon Lord of the Great Blade finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Heh heh, why have you suddenly stopped running? Is there no way forward?"
"That place is no different from having no way at all. Not only is it a plain, but it's also a grassland with no high ground for cover. You can easily see our position, and at that time we will be slaughtered without any power to resist. Rather than that, it’s better to fight desperately now and see if we can take down a few more of you."
"Heh heh hahahaha~~~~" The Demon Lord of the Great Blade couldn't hide his delight; however, his laughter was not meant for show. Instead, he used this sound to secretly communicate with the Iron War Demon Lord behind him.
They must be cautious of Wang Long's possible ambush! They could not give him any opportunity!
The Iron War Demon Lord subtly nodded, understanding what the Demon Lord of the Great Blade meant.
Soon, it would only take him and the Water Crossing Demon Lord to defeat or even kill Cai Burin and Song Shuping. Therefore, he did not need to rush into action but remained with the troops to guard against Wang Long's potential sneak attack. Although they were not familiar with the terrain here, even Song Shuping did not dare to teleport carelessly. However, Wang Long might employ similar tactics again to rescue the two.
"Since you have decided to fight, then come!" After assigning their respective tasks and to avoid any prolonged delays, the Demon Lord of the Great Blade raised their battle intent to its peak without wasting any more words.
On the other side, the Water Crossing Demon Lord not only had a sharper tongue but also comparable strength. He focused his energy on the magical artifact, targeting Cai Burin.
"Haha, no need to be so excited. We could defeat you two even while sitting."
To everyone's surprise, facing the potential lethal strike from the two Ancient Demons, Cai Burin and Song Shuping were not startled at all. Instead of standing up nervously to confront them, they displayed relaxed expressions, remaining seated and at ease, as if they viewed their opponents as nothing more than paper figures, completely forgetting the earlier moment when they had been cornered and nearly defeated.
The two Ancient Demons grew even angrier. It was one thing for Wang Long to disregard them and cause significant losses right under their noses, but he had managed to evade their search entirely. However, these two defeated foes dared to act so arrogantly. Seeing a nearby Demon Expert signaling them, the suppression formation was already taking shape. Shunshen Song Shuping had no chance to escape now, even if he wanted to take a gamble. The two of them were resolute and launched a direct attack!
A surge of demonic energy rose up, creating intense waves that would tear apart even slightly weaker experts who dared to enter its path!
At that moment, the combined forces surged toward the high stone where the two were positioned.
Yet, Cai Burin and Song Shuping wore mocking smiles on their faces.
The Demon Lord of the Great Blade sensed something was off but had already unleashed his attack and couldn't think clearly in such a short time.
"Hate Heaven!"
Just then, an anomaly occurred!
A terrifying roar suddenly erupted from behind them, its power at least equal to that of Shunshen Song Shuping!
An expert was lying in ambush!
Without needing to think further, they all realized the current situation.
However, how did this mysteriously appearing expert manage to evade their Flying Cross Star Morning Annihilation Formation's search?
The Demon Lord of the Great Blade couldn't help but feel skeptical about their hard-earned strategy against the divine beings, the Flying Cross Star Morning Annihilation Formation. How could one or two individuals so easily avoid it? Now, this formation had instead become a tool for the enemy to execute their ambush against them—precisely because they had not sensed any other experts above the Flying Cross Star Morning Annihilation Formation, they dared to concentrate all their attention on Cai Burin and Song Shuping. If they had encountered such arrogance in a different location, even a fool would have considered whether there was an ambush nearby.
Fortunately, the Demon Lord of the Great Blade had previously instructed the Iron War Demon Lord not to take action, so there was still a chance for a remedy.
Just as his Hate Heaven Style was about to strike, countless Earth Elemental Powers converged into a large shield, along with a Stone Axe aimed directly at the black Shadow Slash. Meanwhile, from another direction, the Iron War Demon Lord had already flashed in to launch a pincer attack.
If it were just the Stone Axe and the Earth Wall Shield summoned by the Iron War Demon Lord, he wouldn't have taken it seriously. Dodging the giant axe that shattered the Earth Elemental Shield would be fine; although it would consume some of his Spiritual Essence, it would still pose an extremely terrifying threat to both the Demon Lord of the Great Blade and the Water Crossing Demon Lord.
However, with another Iron War Demon Lord behind him, he couldn't afford to be so reckless. He directly dispersed the giant axe with his Hate Heaven Style while simultaneously turning around to engage in battle with the Iron War Demon Lord.
Seeing the threat on that side dissipate, the Demon Lord of the Great Blade felt no joy at all. At this moment, he could be 100% certain that this person was definitely not Wang Long! There was another expert involved.
So!
The most critical question is, where is Wang Long?
