“Suppressing Spirit Sword!” Wang Long suddenly turned in mid-air and unleashed a spirit sword that disrupted the Spiritual Essence of a Demon Lord, swiftly killing it before it could react.
However, no matter how impressive Wang Long's performance was, it had little impact on the overall situation.
Not only him, but even the Beast Ancestor's threat to the Demon Clan had significantly diminished.
“Alright, the Dragon Head has reached his limit. We shouldn't continue pushing here,” Song Shuping loudly reminded.
Wang Long showed a helpless expression. “Fine, let's take a step back and see if the Beast Ancestor has made any new progress.”
In an instant, Wang Long and the others disappeared from their location.
“Dragon Head, what’s the situation on your side?” As soon as they appeared, Dao Lord Wu Jue and others who were on rotation surrounded them.
“It’s useless; this Demon Array is too powerful for us to handle,” Wang Long sighed, glancing back at the gray expanse with reluctance. “At this rate, even if we proceed smoothly, I don't know how long it will take to break through or to eliminate all those defensive Demon Lords within.”
Just as Wang Long was about to inquire about the situation with the Beast Ancestor, a massive figure approached from afar—it was none other than the Beast Ancestor.
“It seems you haven't succeeded either?” The Beast Ancestor's first words indicated that its situation was also grim. “This is infuriating; it looks like the Brahma Demon King is planning something big! How could he arrange so many Demon Lords, especially Ancient Demon Lords? What's worse is this formation; this kid's methods are far stronger than before, meticulously arranged. I doubt we can break this large array in a short time.”
Evil and Malicious snorted coldly. “I didn't expect that although Wang Long had guessed they were truly coming out in full force this time, they would still be hindered here.”
“What worries me even more is another point.” Wang Long calmly looked at the gray mist ahead, showing neither impatience nor disappointment. “Although the forces left behind by the Demon Clan aren't strong right now, Brahma Demon King clearly knows his weaknesses. They are guarding this large array not just with it; it's already evident that there are many powerful Demon Lords present, and their overall strength surpasses ours! Right now, they are still unclear about our total strength. Once they realize this, they probably won't wait so obediently for us to pick them off one by one. If they launch a counterattack, that will be when we truly have headaches.”
“Is that really possible?” This impression had formed in their minds over many days; it just hadn't been clearly articulated until now. Hearing Wang Long point it out immediately changed their expressions. “Should we retreat first and wait until our Army arrives before launching an attack?”
Some elders had actually proposed this earlier, but Wang Long had dismissed it due to time constraints. However, it seemed that he now had no choice but to consider this path.
Although at that time, the preparations of the Demon Clan would undoubtedly be stronger, and Brahma Demon King might initiate his plans at any moment.
Just then, Wang Long, Evil and Malicious, and the Beast Ancestor felt a sudden shift in their hearts and looked into the distance.
“What’s happening?”
"There are enemies!"
"No, those are not enemies." Wang Long quickly said to Beast Ancestor, "The ones coming are from our Dragon City; their Spiritual Energy Fluctuation cannot be deceiving. Moreover! Our main Army has arrived!"
"Huh?" The elders with slightly weaker abilities were both surprised and delighted.
They were delighted because they were in dire need of strength, and their Army had indeed come; now they finally had the power to break through this Defensive Array.
They were surprised because, barring any unforeseen circumstances, with Jiang Xue's leadership, why would the Army be dispatched suddenly without reason? Could it be that something unexpected had happened at their main camp?
"Let's go. Speculating is pointless; we will know once we see."
"Dragon Lord!" Upon seeing that it was indeed their Dragon City's Army outside, and they all appeared energetic without any injuries or other issues, Wang Long and the others finally felt relieved.
"Xinghe, why did you suddenly bring the Army here? Where is Jiang Xue?"
"It's a long story. Ever since you left, Dragon Lord, the situation outside has been very strange. The Heavenly Binding Sect Master and Xuanmen Wuxuan Elder who set out one after another have all gone silent. Lady Jiang Xue somehow guessed that there might be a situation here requiring our Army, so she directly ordered the dispatch of her subordinates for support. Uh, Dragon Lord, how did you get so deep in here so quickly? We thought you had encountered a trap from the Demon Clan!"
"Haha, well done, Jiang Xue!" Wang Long exclaimed. "You came just in time; otherwise, the delay would have been too long. By the way, since you are all here now, doesn't that mean there are only less than two thousand warriors left behind?"
"That's right. Jiang Xue seems to have made preparations. She said that in this battle, the Divine Coalition is likely to suffer greatly, so she has already mentally prepared for an early withdrawal. Please don't worry, Dragon Lord."
Wang Long's smile faded as he and the other elders who had obviously relaxed felt a weight in their hearts; they didn't know what bad thoughts the Dragon Lord was having.
"Jiang Xue is taking a dangerous gamble; no, she is putting herself in a perilous situation!" Wang Long sighed deeply. "With her prestige in Xuanmen and True Navigator's reliance on her, even if she sent the Army here this time, as long as she remained at the main camp, it would suffice to give an explanation to the Divine Coalition. However, under similar reasoning, if the Divine Coalition encounters danger, Jiang Xue would be even less likely to leave directly. And from the looks of it now, Brahma Demon King and so many Ancient Beasts will undoubtedly strike all at once. In such intense warfare, whether Jiang Xue can protect her own life depends on fate!"
Hearing Wang Long's words, Princess Liling and other elders who had close ties with Jiang Xue couldn't help but change their expressions.
"Then, Dragon Lord, shouldn't we send some people to assist Jiang Xue? The more of our own people around her when she encounters danger, the safer she will be!"
"No need." Wang Long himself was filled with concern for Jiang Xue but still shook his head. "By the time you return to support her, everything may already be over. Right now, the best way we can help them is to break through this great formation before us and destroy the Demon Clan's stronghold. Even if they achieve a great victory on the front lines after that, it will still be a significant blow to them!"
"Understood!"
Let Li Xinghe lead the other warriors in preparation while Wang Long called Song Shuping aside.
"What's up? Do you want me to go assist Jiang Xue?"
"That's right. At our speed, even if I go back personally, I might not make it in time. Besides, Jiang Xue's strength is on par with mine; I can't really protect her. Only your Instant Flash Technique gives me peace of mind. I'm counting on you this time, Shunshen."
Song Shuping was taken aback. No matter when, Wang Long always exuded absolute confidence and ease; this was the first time he spoke to him in such a tone.
It seemed he truly cared for Jiang Xue.
Song Shuping smiled knowingly. "Don't worry, leave it to me. Even if I face the Brahma Demon King, unless he is completely fixated on us and relentlessly pursuing us, I can safely bring Jiang Xue away from any dangerous situation."
"I naturally trust you, but still be cautious. Don't forget that since the Demon Clan has a formation that can counter your Instant Flash Technique, there might be a second or third one."
"Heh, I understand that. As long as I don't expose myself actively, they won't know I'm hiding nearby and won't be prepared in advance."
Wang Long nodded and let him leave first.
