Wang Mubai fled. The other three Demon Spirit Generals were not fools either; they detected the danger at the first instance and imdiately scattered to evacuate.
A Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger could only target one person. Compared to one’s safety, the lives of others counted for little.
At this mont, Shen Changqing unleashed a finger strike, its montum so grand it seed to tear apart the heavens and split the earth.
That fluctuation made Wang Mubai’s heart palpitate. However, he soon realized sothing was amiss.
Though the strike was powerful, it didn’t tear through the void; it didn’t even cause a spatial disturbance. In an instant, Wang Mubai ca to a realization.
"Not good! Co back!"
Because everyone had withdrawn, several Demon Spirit Generals and Shen Changqing had all moved beyond the Domain’s reach. Without the Domain, it ant there was no way to constrain the opponent’s bizarre Divine Skills.
As Wang Mubai spoke, Shen Changqing forcibly halted the burning of his Essence Blood. The backlash caused him internal injuries, but the corner of his mouth, dripping with blood, revealed a smile.
"Too late!"
He took a step forward.
Shrinking Earth into Inches.
Within the next breath, he appeared behind a Demon Spirit General. Without using Divine Skills, he simply struck with his full force, instantly causing the opponent’s flesh to burst.
PFFT!
Balro, taken by surprise and heavily hit, coughed up blood and was sent flying.
Imdiately, before Balro could react, Shen Changqing used Shrinking Earth into Inches again, and another punch ca crashing down.
BANG—
The flesh disintegrated, sending blood and flesh flying, revealing the pale golden skeleton underneath.
"No—"
Balro no longer bore his previous arrogance; his face showed only panic and was deathly pale.
However, Shen Changqing didn’t give him a chance to live. Another punch was launched, landing squarely on the opponent’s head.
BANG!!
The head burst open, and a Demon Spirit General, comparable to a high-priced Demon Evil, fell on the spot.
Without lingering, Shen Changqing took a step and appeared in front of another Demon Spirit General.
"Shen Changqing, you dare!" Wang Mubai was infuriated beyond asure.
He realized that from the very beginning, the opponent had not intended to die with him, but rely to intimidate him and find an opportunity to break through the Domain.
Upon understanding the opponent’s plan, Wang Mubai didn’t hesitate and launched an angry strike.
However, as he made his move, Shen Changqing had already unleashed a finger strike. With force like a star falling to earth, it landed fiercely on Balrey.
The Divine Skill channeled into that single finger strike directly obliterated the opponent.
Then, before Wang Mubai’s attack could reach him, Shen Changqing had already stepped forward, disappearing from the spot.
The only remaining Demon Spirit General was now so frightened that he hurriedly moved closer to Wang Mubai, not daring to make a rash move.
"Wang Mubai, it seems you’ve lost this ti!" Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back. His chest heaved violently, but his face bore a gratified smile.
Not only had two Demon Spirit Generals fallen, but he had also freed himself from the constraints of the opponent’s Domain.
Indeed, possessing the Divine Skill Shrinking Earth into Inches, he could now leave or stay as he wished.
"I underestimated you!" Wang Mubai’s face was as dark as water. He felt as if his intelligence had been utterly crushed by his opponent.
The very spot where Shen Changqing stood was just over a hundred zhang away, beyond the coverage of Wang Mubai’s Domain.
Even though the Domain was not limited to a re hundred zhang, its effect would be greatly weakened beyond that distance. It could work against ordinary experts, but not against an opponent as powerful as the one before him.
Moreover, the opponent was obviously on guard. It wouldn’t be easy to pull him into the Domain as before.
The corners of Shen Changqing’s mouth curled up slightly. "No, you’re just too foolish."
"You—" Wang Mubai was utterly furious.
He wanted to attack, yet he hesitated. Previously, even with three Demon Spirit Generals, we couldn’t kill him. Now, with two dead, there’s even less chance, he thought.
Shen Changqing’s smile faded, and his expression cooled. "Wang Mubai, the Great Wilderness Prefecture is not a place for you. Leave now, and I’ll give you a chance to live. Otherwise, you will die!"
"Even though I can’t kill you, your dream of killing is pure folly," Wang Mubai sneered. Does he really think I’m easily scared? I was just tricked by him, and now he thinks he can threaten ?
Just then, several powerful auras arrived swiftly from afar, rapidly drawing closer.
Sensing those auras, Shen Changqing smiled. "Wang Mubai, it looks like you won’t even have a chance to escape this ti!"
He was all too familiar with those auras. Only the Defender Envoys of Great Qin possessed such presence.
Instantly, Shen Changqing stepped forward, boldly re-entering Wang Mubai’s Domain.
With Great Qin Defender Envoys arriving as reinforcents, why should I retreat? Shen Changqing thought. Before, not expecting reinforcents, I didn’t want to face Wang Mubai and the Barbarian Clan head-on. Now, with two Demon Spirit Generals dead, Wang Mubai and Yarman pose less of a threat. Alone, I wasn’t confident I could capture them. But with several other Defender Envoys arriving, it’s a different story.
As Shen Changqing stepped into the Domain, Wang Mubai lost his will to fight.
"Do the Barbarian Clan still have experts on the way?" His lips moved, a faint voice reaching Yarman’s ears.
Upon hearing this, Yarman shook his head, his expression miserable. "No more. Currently, in the Great Wilderness Prefecture, there were only us three Demon Spirit Generals. Now that Balro and Balrey have died in battle, I’m the only Demon Spirit General left. The ssage has already been sent out, but it will take so ti for our experts to arrive as reinforcents."
The Barbarian Clan had special ans to send ssages without human carriers. But, no matter how unique their ssaging thods were, it would still take ti for reinforcents to arrive.
Having received his answer, Wang Mubai turned and fled without a mont’s delay.
Since the Barbarian Clan has no more support, staying here would truly be a death sentence. If not now, when should I flee? Wang Mubai thought.
His sudden departure left Yarman stunned. After a mont, his face twisted in anger.
"Wang! Mu! Bai!"
If it weren’t for him, the Barbarian Clan would never have lost two powerful Demon Spirit Generals! Now, the mont he sensed danger, Wang Mubai left without a second thought! Such an act left Yarman utterly cold.
However, Wang Mubai didn’t slow his pace at all and had already fled the area.
Seeing this, despite his rage, Yarman also considered fleeing.
Only, just as he was about to make his move, Shen Changqing appeared before him.
"Where do you plan to go, sir?"
"..." Yarman’s face filled with shock.
Before he could speak, Shen Changqing struck with Star Finger, unleashing terrifying force.
The threat of death did not leave Yarman waiting passively for his demise. He threw a desperate punch with all his might, colliding with the Finger Gang.
The next mont, his entire arm burst apart, flesh and blood scattering everywhere. The destructive force, relentless, sent his body flying.
BOOM—
Dust billowed everywhere.
Yarman’s mangled body lay on the ground; he had not yet perished completely.
However, as Shen Changqing landed another finger strike, Yarman’s consciousness plunged into total darkness.
Withdrawing his hand, Shen Changqing cald his mind and looked at the panel.
The Slaughter Value had increased significantly, but it hadn’t unlocked any new functions on the panel. This reveals that there isn’t much difference between Demon Spirit Generals and Demon Evils; slaying them yields Slaughter Value, Shen Changqing mused. As for why no new panel functions were unlocked, there are two possibilities. One, the panel has no new functions left. Two, Demon Spirit Generals haven’t transcended the category of Demon Evils, so they can’t unlock new functions.
Although it didn’t unlock new panel functions, the Slaughter Value from these three Demon Spirit Generals is almost the sa as that from three high-ranking Demon Evils. It should be enough for the subsequent fusion of Divine Skills, Shen Changqing thought, nodding in satisfaction.
The three Demon Spirit Generals had given him a total of 2,600 Slaughter Value. On average, each Demon Spirit General contributed over 800 points. All in all, it was quite satisfactory.
Collecting his thoughts, he looked towards Jincheng. Its walls had partially collapsed, and the Barbarian Clan Army stationed there was fleeing in disarray.
After all, with all three Demon Spirit Generals dead, remaining there ant certain death for them.
In that regard, Shen Changqing did not make a move.
Frequent use of Divine Skills and slaying three Demon Spirit Generals had not entirely exhausted him, but he was severely drained. Indeed, he thought, without the support of the Demon-Subduing Division, in my current state, Wang Mubai could have killed . Attacking other mbers of the Barbarian Clan now would be beyond my capabilities.
Before long, the auras of several Defender Envoys finally arrived.
Shen Changqing turned to look. Three people approached, all unfamiliar faces. Judging by their auras, all three were King Rank Defender Envoys.
Seeing Shen Changqing standing there alone, the newly arrived Defender Envoys were montarily astonished. Imdiately thereafter, they seed to understand the situation.
"Shi Kaitai of the Dragon City Demon-Subduing Division in Great Wilderness Prefecture. Greetings, Defender Shen!"
"Yang Yu of the Panlong City Demon-Subduing Division in Great Wilderness Prefecture. Greetings, Defender Shen!"
"You Hong of the Beihuang City Demon-Subduing Division in Great Wilderness Prefecture. Greetings, Defender Shen!"
"Greetings to you all!" Shen Changqing replied, clasping his fist.
He had not t the three before, but he had heard of their nas and the three major Demon-Subduing Divisions they represented. Indeed, the three individuals present were the Dominators of the three major Demon-Subduing Divisions in the Great Wilderness Prefecture.
However, Shen Changqing’s gaze lingered a bit longer on Yang Yu.
According to information from the Heavenly Inspection Guard, Panlong City has already been captured by the Barbarian Clan, aning the Panlong City Demon-Subduing Division should no longer exist, Shen Changqing recalled.
Yet, he said nothing, instead smiling faintly. "Thank you all, fellow Defender Envoys, for coming to assist."
"Defender Shen, you are too polite. We Defender Envoys should naturally unite and support each other," Shi Kaitai said with a smile. Then, looking around, he voiced the doubt in his heart. "According to reports, Defender Shen, you encountered an ambush by the Barbarian Clan. What is the situation now?"
The anticipated grand battle seed to have already ceased. The ground was pitted and scarred, indicating the recent battle had been fierce; even one side of Jincheng’s wall had significantly collapsed.
However, what puzzled him was how such a battle could have stopped so abruptly. Could it be that, sensing our approach, the Barbarian Clan chose to retreat? he wondered.
