At the Gateway to the Abyss, I single-handedly faced numerous experts, yet none could withstand my strike. However, this Jiang Xue showed no signs of defense and managed to block my punch effortlessly.
Heavenly Slayer was taken aback, thinking she had once again employed some terrifying method to gather the Spiritual Essence of thousands around her, instinctively turning to flee.
Yet at that moment, Jiang Xue spat out a mouthful of blood.
Previously, she had been able to disregard Heavenly Slayer's punch thanks to the divine armor crafted by Wang Long. However, despite the power of the artifact, Jiang Xue's strength was still significantly inferior to that of Heavenly Slayer, and she ultimately suffered severe injuries.
"Kill! We cannot let them escape!" Victory Over Heaven was also stirred by Jiang Xue's anger. Even setting aside this point, such a cunning adversary, even if currently weaker, must not be allowed the chance to grow into a future threat!
Thus, Master of Victory cast aside the most crucial plans for this operation. In his view, allowing Jiang Xue and the warriors of Dragon City to survive would pose an even greater threat than the divine race!
However, they indeed had the means now; after breaking Jiang Xue's formation, those Demon Lord level experts and Ancient Beasts had regained their strength and were pushing the divine race's rear guard into a corner. Meanwhile, the remaining forces of the Game God Sect pursuing Dragon City were more than sufficient.
"Reverse Divine Slash!" The golden light of the Flying Sword was raised again as Victory Over Heaven swiftly killed six experts from Dragon City and continued to chase after Jiang Xue.
At this moment, Jiang Xue realized there was no way to escape smoothly now. She took a deep look ahead—thanks to the time they had bought, the arranged rear guard had begun their second line of defense. Although their power was significantly weaker and those in another direction from the Demon Clan Army were thrown into chaos, their main force was now very far away. While she did not know what the outcome would be against the pursuing Demon Clan, they had at least achieved their goal under the current circumstances.
Even in death, one must find purpose!
Jiang Xue suddenly turned to face the fully concentrated attack from Master of Victory. With Water Elemental Power gathered in her hands, she was determined to see just how great the gap was between herself and a peak expert of sect master level!
Corpses piled like mountains and rivers flowed with blood. Standing atop a peak, Wang Long surveyed the scene around him with eyes sharp as swords and cold as frost.
They had finally broken through this formation.
Although this was by no means the last line of defense for the Demon Clan, in the end, they were unable to completely eliminate the remaining Demon Lords. After this battle, unless the Brahma Demon King personally led their main forces to assist, it would be nearly impossible for the remaining dozen or so Demon Lords to hold the line.
"Leader, I have just finished tallying the losses from this battle, and they are severe."
Wang Long's heart sank. He understood that for the fearless warriors of Dragon City, describing the losses as severe indicated that this was indeed a brutal battle.
Even though he had mentally prepared himself after witnessing the scene in Great Yu, Wang Long still felt a pang of pain in his heart.
"There should be no enemies around now. Leave the Hundred Battles Warriors to clear the battlefield and bury our fallen comrades. The rest should take a short break and then immediately prepare for another full-scale assault!"
"Hahaha, Leader, I truly admire you this time." At that moment, Beast Ancestor approached with hearty laughter. "What a relief! I have been trapped by that little man Brahma Demon King for so many years, and today I finally feel somewhat liberated. Moreover, you are incredibly brave; you dared to make such a huge gamble based solely on your intuition without knowing the enemy's situation, and you won! In all my years, I have never seen a commander like you!"
"Beast Ancestor, we are preparing to directly destroy the Demon Clan's stronghold. What do you think?"
"Of course! My strength is still slightly inferior to Brahma Demon King ’s; if I directly confront him in a life-and-death battle, I would certainly be the one to die. I'm not that foolish! It would be better to join forces with you all; we can clean out Brahma Demon King's stronghold together. I believe that old bastard will have quite an interesting expression when he sees it! It's settled then!"
Wang Long looked at him steadily. "As long as Beast Ancestor does not doubt my judgment this time, that's all that matters. Please take some rest first; later we will launch a full-scale attack and not give the Demon Clan any chance to catch their breath."
"Oh?" Beast Ancestor looked at Wang Long with some surprise. "So you're not planning to use that previous tactic of pursuing them to death? Wouldn't that leave the Demon Clan with no chance to retaliate?"
"They no longer have any power to retaliate," Wang Long shook his head in judgment. In fact, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord was indeed a top talent within the Demon Clan, but his learning and improvement in tactics were quite rare. Fortunately, he did not have much power at his disposal this time; even if he wanted to maneuver against Wang Long, he lacked the resources. This time, Wang Long would not give him any chance to turn things around.
"There are only about a dozen of them left. They are insignificant compared to our forces. More importantly, they were scattered by us; by the time they regroup, we will have had enough time to rest. They won't be able to activate their powerful formation in their stronghold either. I even doubt whether their numbers are sufficient to maintain such a large-scale magic array."
"Ha ha, indeed, there is the demeanor of a great general. It seems victory is already in hand."
Victory in hand? Wang Long couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Even if there were a great victory here, what would it matter? The Divine Coalition outside had suffered significant blows and losses, so all their efforts here would be in vain.
"Alright, you all rest here for now. Princess Liling, you will coordinate here. Limitless Path friends, Evil and Malicious, let the three of us move ahead first. If we have the chance to take down the Nine-Headed Demon Lord directly, then this battle can end sooner."
"That suits me just fine." Dao Lord Wu Jue agreed, while Evil and Malicious, unable to sit still, immediately responded to Wang Long's suggestion.
Beast Ancestor was taken aback: "Why can't I join you this time?"
"Ha ha," Wang Long glanced at him with a half-smile, "Beast Ancestor's strength is unquestionable, but your size is simply too large. By the time we get close, they will have already detected us. How can we carry out a surprise attack? So, you should protect the main force this time. Let's go, you two."
The three figures sped away.
It wasn't until they had exceeded Beast Ancestor's sensing range that their speed slowed down.
