Because the local elite fighters have inevitably noticed the movents of the demonic army, they cannot afford the risk of their holand being destroyed.
Rumble!!!
At this mont, the defense formation of Shuyue City, which was withstanding the onslaught of over a thousand demon lords, finally couldn’t bear it anymore. It completely exploded, scattering countless illusory characters over a thousand miles, turning from shining to nothingness, leaving Shuyue City entirely without formation defenses.
This wasn’t because the formation itself was weak or the superior innate cultivators inside weren’t trying hard but because the energy level of the battle on both sides was truly terrifying.
In fact, it’s already impressive that the Shuyue City formation lasted until now before breaking. Without the internal superior innate cultivators intercepting most of the attacks, Shuyue City would have been destroyed at the start of the battle.
In an instant, like a thousand giant mountains, the demon lords surged forward, stepping into the territory of Shuyue City.
A large expanse of Shuyue City began to see a massive collapsing of houses, accompanied by screams and panic, pervaded by a heavy scent of blood.
Ordinary people and low-level cultivators were utterly too weak in the face of such a situation, they couldn’t even hope to escape. The aftereffects of any single demon lord’s action were enough to reap thousands of lives.
"Split the enemies up!"
"Divide and conquer!"
"Lure them outside the city!"
...
The superior innate cultivators had already engaged in chaotic battle with the nurous demon lords, but where the demon lords attacked recklessly, they were rather unwilling to engage in a slugfest on the spot.
After all, this is Shuyue City, a renowned city in the Calamity Realm, and they preferred the grand battle to unfold in the wilderness. Therefore, many cultivators started deliberately guiding the demon lords toward the outskirts, using themselves as bait.
Currently, Wang Zhifan was using a strategy of fighting while retreating, alongside the Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber, drawing the attention of at least three demon lords around them, flying towards the outskirts step by step.
As for Qingyangzi, Mieyue, and others, they were originally supposed to be near them.
But after the chaotic battle began, the situation changed rapidly, and given the movent speed of the superior innate cultivators, it was commonplace to be tens of miles away in the blink of an eye.
As a result, Wang Zhifan’s previous advice for them not to spread out too much was already ignored, with everyone fully focused on dealing with the surrounding enemies, completely forgetting about things like their soul link.
Wang Zhifan didn’t mind too much; he couldn’t expect others to act according to his thoughts, so he could only take things one step at a ti.
"Dream Splendor Frenzy Slash!"
At this mont, he shot out from a ruin, his figure bursting forth with incredible speed, crossing nearly a kiloter in an instant to reach the neck of a huge demon lord with a lion head, slashing down with his Blade of Ti at this formidable enemy.
However, this demon lord seed to be very wary of him, making no move to evade or defend, instead, its demonic Qi condensed, causing its massive body to disperse into countless "lion-headed humans" the size of an adult, dividing up and fleeing in all directions, making it impossible to determine which was the true form or if each one was the true form.
As a result, Wang Zhifan’s terrifying blade only managed to eliminate less than a hundred of the small lion-headed humans, causing so damage to the enemy but making it evident that defeating the opponent was not feasible, especially with two other demon lords converging on him at that mont.
"Fan, be careful!"
At this mont, Mieyue and her Thunder and Fire Dual Sabers were engaged in a fierce battle with a demon lord resembling a giant stag beetle, neither side able to gain an advantage, allowing her enough leeway to warn Wang Zhifan who wasn’t too far away.
Wang Zhifan, of course, understood what she ant, and his figure suddenly flashed in mid-air, evading the bite of a sudden red and white striped flying snake that appeared where he had just been.
This red and white flying snake was actually a demon lord as well, its size very small compared to other demon lords, only comparable to the size of three human males combined, but it had short wings on its back, incredibly fast, and appeared to have a spatial movent ability, making it a very hard-to-defend demon lord.
During his first encounter with it, Wang Zhifan had unwittingly been ambushed by its teleportation, but luckily, with his biological force field, protective divine light, invisible deceitful clothing, demon king battle armor, and Vajra Indestructible Body, layer upon layer of defense, when this flying snake demon lord bit down, it couldn’t even pierce his skin before he escaped, realizing from this encounter that perhaps its attack capability wasn’t that formidable.
Having just dodged the flying snake’s sneak attack, he was imdiately beset by a three-headed, six-ard gigantic demon lord and another strange demon lord covered in red fur. Wang Zhifan had been keeping an eye on their maneuvers, and at once his figure moved in a complex zig-zag, avoiding both attacks while darting towards the three-headed, six-ard demon lord’s head, slashing a curve with his Blade of Ti, cutting off two of the demon lord’s heads with a single swipe.
"Finally managed to kill one!"
Seeing this, Wang Zhifan planned to press on and, bursting with speed, sever this foe’s third head as well.
But in the next instant, he was speechless because he suddenly sensed that the two heads he had just chopped off flew back to the demon lord’s body, seeming to reconnect with the stumps, and at the sa ti, the demon lord with red fur over its entire body used so secret technique, unleashing countless small red worms that flew towards him, encircling him.
This wasn’t even the entirety of the situation, as Wang Zhifan also noticed that other demon lords nearby were eyeing him, slowly closing in, with a more malicious presence brewing amidst the city ruins around him, its exact nature unknown.
"Die for !"
Bearing all the pressure, he suddenly slashed out, a huge, brilliant blade wheel pierced through the night, directly cleaving off the third head of the three-headed, six-ard demon lord, along with its raised defensive arms, causing the massive demon lord to crash down with a rumbling into the rubble below.
He had no choice, as Wang Zhifan’s sword intent had the destructive effect of prohibiting self-restoration and resurrection. Even if those two heads returned to the stumps, they couldn’t truly reconnect; with all three heads severed, there was no hope of revival.
However, after Wang Zhifan finally disposed of this foe, he wasn’t in great shape either, surrounded by a swarm of ominous red worms that threatened him with a potent sense of danger.
"Ice Source Power! Teleportation!"
He imdiately slowed the movent speed of these threats and then utilized the teleportation skill of the Blank Winding Belt to escape.
At this mont, over a dozen terrifying heat lasers suddenly ca from afar, sealing him in all directions, quickly sweeping over him, only to be reflected back by his surrounding biological force field.
"Why are there enemies using lasers?"
This was extrely bizarre to Wang Zhifan because demon lords were enemies of the fantasy type, incapable of emitting lasers.
As he turned to look at the location from which the enemies had attacked, he saw four or five stocky humanoids with light blue skin dodge into the surrounding ruins, with a few already scorched corpses on the ground from his earlier laser reflection.
From the bodies, it seed these guys were equipped with distinctly technological weapons, like laser guns, barrels, exoskeleton armor.
"Hostile players? But why do they look non-human?"
Wang Zhifan imdiately realized he had encountered the hostile players that the master had warned him about, but their appearances weren’t what he had imagined, clearly not originating from any country in the world of Xia Country.
"Could they be... otherworldly players?"
A thought instantly erged in Wang Zhifan’s mind, and he felt he sowhat understood the origins of the hostile players.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have the leisure to chase after them now, with surrounding demon lords closing in again, and Mieyue and her Dragon Saber section falling into crisis, their soul link conveying pain, a sign of the Dragon Saber being hurt.
"The enemy’s nurical advantage is too overwhelming, it’s hard to take them down here... and many cultivators have already teleported away. We’ll have to avoid the edge for now and abandon Shuyue City first."
Heading over to aid Mieyue and her Dragon Saber, Wang Zhifan made such a judgnt in his heart, deciding not to stubbornly fight it out here but to organize forces for a guerrilla warfare strategy to wear down the enemy.
