"Sir, let's head to the front lines immediately! With the combined strength of our entire army, I refuse to believe we can't defeat that Ancient Beast!"
"Shut up! Do you really think we can fight in this situation?" The Purple Robed Demon Lord coldly pointed behind him. The soldiers in the rear, whether ordinary warriors or high-ranking Demon Lords, were already dazed and the formation was in complete chaos. It would take an indeterminate amount of time to regroup them, and without these 'cannon fodder,' even if they could fend off the beast's attacks with just the high-ranking Demon Lords, the losses would be severe. There was no way they could withstand a second assault. Therefore, this plan was absolutely unacceptable.
"Immediately prepare all the elite warriors in the rear for retreat!"
"What!" Hearing that their leader had lost even the courage to fight again left those High-Ranking Demons astonished and confused. "Purple Robed Demon Lord, our comrades are still fighting desperately against the Ancient Beasts up front!"
"Do I need you to remind me of that? But right now, we have no choice but to retreat first; otherwise, not only will we fail to pose any threat to it, but we will also die here! Retreat!"
As the Beast Ancestor twisted its massive body over the corpses of the Demon Clan, they had long since vanished without a trace.
"You guys have truly disappointed me. Although your powers are not strong enough, can't you at least hold them off for a while? If you can just delay them a bit longer, I can arrive and completely crush them! What a pity!"
Wang Long calmly replied to the Beast Ancestor's complaints, "There's no need for that. We don't have to fight them to the death. Even if these people escape, what loss do we suffer?"
"What loss?" The Beast Ancestor couldn't understand Wang Long's meaning at all. "They are our enemies! We chose this secret path precisely to launch a surprise attack on the Demon Clan. Now that they are escaping, they will definitely bring back news. How can we still launch a surprise attack?"
Wang Long smiled and explained, "Don't be so hasty. Although we've let them escape this time, I think it's more advantageous than fighting head-on. Their only chance of survival was to leave here as soon as possible, and we were right in their path—certainly bound to be bitten by them and might not even be able to stop them. Instead of forcing them into a corner, why not let them go? Ahead lies their hope for survival; do you think they will have the courage to turn back and fight us? In this situation, we can simply pursue them without any risk."
"Do you think I'm foolish? Those Demon Clan members aren't pushovers either. I'm not particularly fast myself, and your strengths aren't much higher than theirs. How can we chase and kill them after letting them get so far away?"
Wang Long revealed a slight smile with an indescribable nuance that made the Beast Ancestor feel as if he had been played.
"I would like to formally introduce you to this individual—he is Shunshen Song Shuping from the divine clan. I believe you've heard of his name before; I think you should now understand our tactics."
"Truly cunning!" After staring blankly at Wang Long for a long time, the Ancient Beasts sighed deeply.
The eastern wind blew as war drums beat; the Demon Clan fled exhausted.
Previously, they had managed to withdraw from the battlefield relatively "calmly." Although they suffered significant losses, most of their high-ranking Demon Lords remained intact.
However, their intelligence was clearly lacking; they were unaware of Song Shuping's presence among Wang Long and his group—no wonder; they had been stationed here for countless years and due to their role in guarding this crucial route, their understanding of outside information was too slow. Although Song Shuping had already returned and participated in several major battles, they still did not know about it.
Thus...
When they had retreated a considerable distance and could no longer see the shadow of the Ancient Beasts, the Purple Robed Demon Lord ordered a break.
At that moment!
A massive shadow that nearly covered half the sky descended from above; it was none other than the Beast Ancestor.
Looking down at the "little crawlers" below with a cold smile, the Beast Ancestor felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction!
"Roar!" A furious roar echoed, and everyone present seemed to react a beat too late, followed by the trampling devastation caused by the Beast Ancestor!
The muscles on the Purple Robed Demon Lord's face twisted grotesquely, but he did not waste his breath shouting. Concentrating their forces now would only provide a clear target for this Ancient Beast. The best strategy was to scatter and flee as they were doing now.
Fortunately, this time it was just the Ancient Beast appearing suddenly. If another Army had followed up to hunt them down, they would have faced total annihilation!
However, he did not realize that this was merely the beginning of a disaster.
After finally escaping a considerable distance and slowly regrouping with the other Demon Lords, panting and wanting to rest, another ambush struck.
This time it was Wang Long and his companions who attacked—they had considered waiting behind to hunt down scattered soldiers, letting the Beast Ancestor take the lead. Even the Beast Ancestor was willing to be their "spear."
But Song Shuping's Instant Flash Technique had its limits, especially given the enormous size and strength of the Beast Ancestor; connecting with him placed a heavy burden on Song Shuping.
Thus, both sides took turns attacking, allowing Song Shuping more time to recover.
"Thunder Element Annihilation Sword!" Wang Long charged at the leading Purple Robed Demon Lord with astonishing speed, fully entangling him to prevent any correct commands from being issued.
Their strength was far inferior to that of the Beast Ancestor, so they could not afford to be blindly complacent just because they were attacking in surprise.
Clang! Caught off guard, the Purple Robed Demon Lord barely managed to summon his golden shield, which was immediately sliced in half by the Thunder Element Annihilation Sword.
The Purple Robed Demon Lord was indeed powerful; under normal circumstances, even in a fair fight against Wang Long, he would not be at a disadvantage.
Wang Long did not expect to kill him in one strike. The Thunder Element Annihilation Sword created a continuous barrage of light attacks like fine rain. Although he could not break through the Purple Robed Demon Lord's defenses, he constantly felt immense pressure and could not afford to worry about his companions.
Meanwhile, Dao Lord Wu Jue, Princess Liling, and Evil and Malicious certainly would not hold back.
“Extreme Cold Domain!” A white mist of snow and fog rolled down from the sky, enveloping the entire area and instantly covering it in ice fog. It appeared to have little power at first, but as the battle intensified, the demons realized that the temperature was dropping rapidly, to the point where their bodies and thoughts were almost frozen.
“Breakthrough!” Unlike Dao Lord Wu Jue's wide-ranging attacks, Evil and Malicious focused on a targeted breakthrough. With his strength, there were not many who could withstand his direct assault. The Earth Spirit Essence manifested into a massive axe that seemed to shake the very mountains as he swung it, causing chaos among their ranks and leaving them disoriented.
With one swing of the axe, blood splattered everywhere, rendering the once pitiful demon unrecognizable.
Among them, Princess Liling was naturally the weakest, but she possessed several magical treasures. Instead of charging head-on, she stayed close to Dao Lord Wu Jue, taking advantage of the demons affected by the frost and swooping in to pick off easy targets.
Ice Power complemented her abilities well; her cooperation with Dao Lord Wu Jue significantly increased their power.
Of course, the most crucial factor was that these Demon Clan experts were genuinely frightened by the Ancient Beasts. Wang Long and his companions understood Song Shuping's limitations, but these Demon Clan members were unaware!
Who knew if they would turn around and engage these experts for a couple of rounds? That terrifying beast might descend from the sky and crush them alive!
Forget it! What’s the point of fighting? It’s better to escape! Preserving their lives was what mattered most!
“Fine, this time you’ve got it tough! Just wait!” Although the Purple Robed Demon Lord could not command effectively, he observed everything happening around him. Realizing that they were powerless to Revival, he had no choice but to throw out a harsh remark. After unleashing a Wolf Tooth Club artifact to repel Wang Long, he turned and fled without hesitation.
