Chapter 339: Chapter 339 The Ruins of Shuiyang City, Monsters Competing for Supremacy
“It’s a large pack of demonic beasts!”
Jia Yulan elevated on her pink flying bird, extending her Spirit Eyes to survey the distance, and spotted a Gold-Skinned Buck-Toothed Pig leading the group, realizing that the beast possessed the Cultivation Level of a Lower-Rank Demon General at its peak.
Behind the pig demon, there were hundreds of Buck-Toothed Pigs, tough in skin and flesh, and skilled in charging and upturning humans.
Boom, boom, boom…
From other directions, more packs of demonic beasts attacked.
Wild Bulls, Furious Sheep, Vile Lizards…
There were actually six different kinds of demonic beasts, all coming ferociously.
“We’ve arrived at quite the opportune moment, just in time to encounter six armies of demonic beasts disputing over territory,” Mo Ying said, carrying Yan Ruyu and Jia Yulan into the sky, not wanting to get involved just yet.
Soon enough, the Buck-Toothed Pigs, Wild Bulls, and the other four demonic beast armies reached the ruins of Shuiyang City but did not charge in.
The reason was that there were too many Spiritual Medicines here.
Even Wild Boars knew that if they charged in, they would trample these precious Spiritual Medicines.
“Gurgle, gurgle!”
“Moo!”
“Ssss!”
The six armies of demonic beasts, led by their Demon Generals, confronted each other through the air, their roars expressed anger, and their formidable presences burst forth like gales sweeping through the void, intent on scaring off the other demonic beast armies.
However, their presences were quite similar.
After a moment of contesting, no winner was determined.
Hundreds of meters up in the sky.
Mo Ying, Yan Ruyu, and Jia Yulan flew on their swords.
“Senior Sister Mo, what should we do?”
“There are quite a few Demi-transformed Demon Beasts down there, but it seems they’re fighting for territory. If we join the fray now, we can easily be ganged up on, suffer heavy injuries or even fall,” Yan Ruyu and Jia Yulan said with a look of concern.
“Don’t worry, I am here,” Mo Ying whispered.
She had already scanned the area with her Spiritual Sense.
The leading Demon Generals were at the peak of Lower-Rank Demon Generals, the equivalent of the third peak of the Element Gathering Realm.
Though there were six of them, even if they joined forces, Mo Ying was confident she could handle them.
“Roar!”
The six great Demon Generals below could no longer restrain themselves and commanded their vast armies of demonic beasts to clash on the open ground outside of the ruins.
They were clever enough not to join the battle themselves.
For the six great Demon Generals simultaneously looked up, all twelve eyes fixed on her, revealing a cruel glimmer.
“Whoosh!”
The six great Demon Generals attacked at the same time, aiming for Mo Ying.
They decided to eliminate the human race first.
“You go fight; leave this place to me,” Mo Ying’s presence shook as she pushed Yan Ruyu and Jia Yulan several hundred meters away, drew her Breeze-riding Sword, and cut towards the six great Demon Generals, engaging in a desperate fight.
“Let’s each choose our own opponent!”
Separated by ten meters, Jia Yulan and Yan Ruyu each went after a Demi-transformed Demon Beast and immediately fell into a disadvantage.
Deep underground.
“Fight well, let those disciples from Misty Sect distract the demonic beast army first, then we’ll sneak attack and kill them,” Hu Yuan sneered.
He did not recognize Mo Ying and the other two ladies, but Dong Qiang did.
“Is this really okay? I bear no grudges against Sect Master Ye,” Dong Qiang felt conflicted inside, attempting to refuse.
“Ha! All from Misty Sect deserve to die!” Hu Yuan stuck to his opinion, continuing to persuade Dong Qiang to make a move.
“I won’t go!” Dong Qiang outright refused on the spot.
“Heh, such a weak and incompetent dog!” Hu Yuan was disappointed and spoke no more.
“Cackle, cackle, cackle, you little demon, got beaten, didn’t you?” Dong Dongqiang took the chance to mock, infuriating Hu Yuan who puffed his beard and glared.
Further, Dong Dongqiang said, “Dong Qiang, be wary of that mysterious person also lurking underground. This old ancestor detected that his aura is peculiar, as if he’s not a typical cultivator but someone who specializes in the use of telekinesis. If this old ancestor hasn’t guessed wrong, he’s from the Divine Race.”
“The Divine Race?” Both Dong Qiang and Hu Yuan were intrigued.
“The so-called Divine Race is just their own boasting. In reality, they are a foreign race, continuously attempting to invade the Shenzhou Continent to find opportunities. Let’s take him out first, then steal his Cultivation Techniques,” Dong Dongqiang said in a grave tone, greatly shocking both Dong Qiang and Hu Yuan.
A foreign race invading Shenzhou?
That’s truly terrifying!
The Shenzhou Continent has many Holy Lands, with Ancient Saints as their guardians. Would the Divine Race dare to invade Shenzhou… could it be that they too have Ancient Saints backing them?
Dong Dongqiang guessed the concerns of the two and sneered:
“Stop overthinking it! The Divine Race isn’t that strong.”
“Back in the day, this old ancestor fought a great battle against the divinities of the Divine Race, severely injuring three of them. My battle achievements were indeed extremely glorious.”
“As far as I know, the Divine Lords of the Divine Race are only at the peak of the Divine Origin Realm.”
“Therefore, the Divine Race only dares to invade Three-star Forces like the Mystique Kingdom.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Yuan and Dong Qiang both breathed a sigh of relief.
In the sky.
Mo Ying was fiercely clashing with six Great Demons.
Although she could battle a Middle Rank Demon General, now surrounded by six Great Demons, she was unable to use many of her techniques.
However, facing six opponents alone and achieving this much was already commendable.
“Truly troublesome!”
Mo Ying continuously executed “Backstab” to get behind her opponents, seizing the opportunity to wound the Gold-Skinned Buck-Toothed Pig with her sword. But then the other five Demons would surround her before she could inflict a fatal wound on the Pig.
She couldn’t help but glance at the Middle Grade Spirit Sword behind her.
If she used this Spirit Sword, her combat power could directly enter the Fourth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm, and advancing into the Fifth Layer with the display of “Water Radiance Technique” wouldn’t be difficult.
In that case, she could sweep through the six Great Demons.
But for some reason, Mo Ying always felt she had to hold back, as if there was a formidable enemy hidden in the shadows.
On the ground.
Jia Yulan executed “Light Body Technique”, and behind her, a pink bird formed from “Falling Blooms in Profusion” helped her guard her back.
At the same time, she continuously urged the Qingfeng Sword, unleashing sharp Sword Qi to block the charge of a Demi-transformed Bull Demon.
The opponent, standing two meters tall with a human body and a bull’s head, wielding a Mad Blade, hacked away relentlessly with each strike leaving terrifying trenches in the ground, forcing Jia Yulan to keep retreating.
Compared to her, Yan Ruyu’s battle was much easier.
She dodged using “Light Body Technique” and occasionally hit the Demi-transformed Pig Demon that was chasing her with a Vitality Bullet.
Bang!
The two women stood back-to-back.
“Let’s switch opponents.”
“Okay!”
With that, the two switched directions, one charged at the Bull Demon, and the other at the Pig Demon.
Fighting one-on-one, without going all out, it was difficult for them to kill a Demi-transformed Demon Beast.
But restraining the enemy and ensuring they themselves remained unharmed didn’t pose too much difficulty.
And that was enough to fulfill the purpose of their training.
Deep underground.
Han Er remained in hiding.
He recognized Mo Ying and the other two ladies as disciples of the Misty Sect, and immediately a murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
“What formidable disciples of the Misty Sect!”
“There don’t seem to be any other strong presences nearby. With my Nine-Turn Heavenly God Technique at Fifth Order, comparable to the Peak of the Element Gathering Realm of the Human Race, a single move of mine would surely sweep them away.”
“Ye Feng, I want you to taste the bitter flavor of losing disciples, hehehe!”
Thinking this, Han Er prepared to make his move.
But just then, the ground began to shake as though a severe, localized earthquake was occurring, drawing the attention of all cultivators and Demonic Beasts present.
Boom, boom, boom…
In the distance, the ground was actually bulging as if a giant mole was sprinting wildly under a carpet, bringing with it a wave of mud and soil.
“Why is it heading for us!”
Underground, Han Er and Dong Qiang were horrified to find that the terrifying wave of mud was approaching, and that their location was its target.
Crack!
The next moment, a massive figure broke out from the earth’s surface, the surrounding soil exploding, forcing Dong Qiang and Han Er to be launched into mid-air.
Sensing the commotion, Mo Ying and the six Great Demons all retreated hundreds of meters, watching each other from a distance.
“Roar!”
An ear-splitting roar sounded, and everyone’s eardrums trembled violently, on the verge of collapsing, as they quickly looked towards the source of the sound.
On the ground, a worm-like strange beast had emerged!
It was a hundred meters long with a diameter of ten meters, its mouth full of sharp serrated teeth. It held its head high as if surveying all the living creatures present.
And, it regarded them as prey!
