Chapter 318: Didn’t Disappoint
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Yuanqing put the square platform into his bag. This arrogant Spirit Child was easily captured.
“Master!”
A light flashed in front of him, and the Man-eating Vine slowly transformed into the body of a young girl. She lowered her head carefully.
“Well done. With your current strength, your attainments in array formations are deep enough to be able to stop them for so long.”
“Thank you for your praise, Master. It’s all thanks to your teachings. Otherwise, Little Man wouldn’t have improved so much in such a short period of time.”
“It was all because you studied it carefully.”
After Li Yuanqing praised her, he heard sounds in the distance. The demon army outside was still attacking the defensive position.
They still did not know that their general had already been captured and was still attacking the golden light shield with all their might.
The light shield had been holding on for so long that it seemed to be on the verge of collapse. The demons were abnormally excited. They thought that they were about to obtain the final victory.
When they saw that these humans could not last any longer, they were happy, because they would definitely be rewarded as long as they took them down.
“Brothers, this is your last effort. Pull yourself together and take down this place. You’ll be heavily rewarded when you return!”
As the demon general below gave the order, the demons all poured their strength into the battle against the golden shield with high fighting spirit.
Little Man could not handle the sudden increase. Her face turned pale. It was obvious that the sudden attack of these demons had caught her off guard, causing her to almost be unable to withstand it.
The golden shield outside suddenly trembled, affecting everyone’s hearts.
“Is everything going to be okay?”
“What’s wrong with the State Preceptor?”
“Could it be that the State Preceptor can’t hold on anymore? It’s already very good that it can hold on to the many attacks of the demons. City Lord, I’m afraid we have to hold on. How long can we last in this situation?”
“City Lord, let’s quickly make a decision. What should we do? If we continue to wait like this, won’t we be sitting ducks? Moreover, the State Preceptor is now…”
In just a moment, the people below immediately let their imagination run wild. It was as if they could already see the Man-eating Vine exhausting her strength because she had used too much of it. In the end, she fell down helplessly and could only let them be slaughtered.
Ye Qiluo’s face was ashen, but a voice in her mind made her feel a little relieved for the time being.
“Nothing will happen to the State Preceptor!”
Everyone did not say anything upon the City Lord’s words. Since the City Lord said so, there must be a reason. However, why would the City Lord say such a thing under such circ.u.mstances?
“I wonder if the City Lord has thought of our next countermeasure. What should we do now? We can’t just sit and wait for death, right?”
Ye Qiluo slowly took out her weapon and placed it horizontally in front of her, as if she was waiting for an opportunity.
“Soon.”
These ambiguous words puzzled everyone. They wanted to get exact information from the City Lord and know what they should do now, but the City Lord could not say anything. In the face of such a powerful enemy, the only thing they could do now was to wait for news that they did not know when it would appear. This was too ridiculous.
“Well…”
These generals all thought that the City Lord was dizzy. Why was she saying such strange words?
“What’s wrong with the City Lord? Could she have been frightened silly?”
“It doesn’t look particularly optimistic. But why did the City Lord become like this? Then what should we do? Should we follow them?”
The remaining generals also began to retreat. They all had their own thoughts.
In the eyes of those people, Ye Qiluo was already scared silly by the current situation. If they continued to stay with such a useless City Lord, they would probably die.
At this moment, the light in the sky gradually dimmed. A large dark cloud had appeared above their heads at some point, and something seemed to be covered in the dark cloud. It was as if a large pot lid had been forcefully covered.
“What’s that?”
“What did the demons summon again?”
“They got the big guy out. If we don’t leave now, we won’t have a chance later. When the demons become stronger, they will kill all of us here!”
The human generals all thought that this was a huge summoned creature summoned by the demons. They wanted to cover all the humans in Sea City and buried them alive.
The demons outside the city were all stunned. They did not receive any instructions from Spirit Child. Moreover, Spirit Child in the back had not issued any instructions for a long time.
Spirit Child was guarding the back. Originally, the plan was very well-arranged, but for some reason, there was suddenly no sound now. It was especially quiet at the back, but everyone could only focus on attacking the city and constantly pouring their strength into the defensive shield. However, the golden shield gradually stabilized again.
Their attacks gradually lost their effect. What made it worse was that they were surprised to discover that the power in their bodies seemed to be suppressed.
Especially when the huge dark cloud above their heads appeared, they felt that they could not mobilize the power in their bodies at all. Their entire bodies seemed to have frozen, and even their limbs began to gradually harden.
They vaguely realized that black threads seemed to suddenly appear in the air.
To their horror, not only were these black threads swimming in the air, but they were also constantly condensing together. In the end, they were deeply embedded in their flesh and skin, firmly binding their souls.
By the time they discovered all of this, it was too late.
“Retreat!”
It was unknown who suddenly shouted at this moment, but all the demons seemed to have found their backbone in an instant and retreated with all their might. They were no longer in the mood to attack.
For a moment, the huge demon army that had gathered outside the city fled in panic like stray dogs.
But Li Yuanqing had already set up his array formation. How could these demons escape now?
The weaker demon had just taken a few steps when his soul seemed to have been sucked out. His entire body instantly collapsed to the ground and he lay there motionless.
The stronger demons could not resist this powerful suction force at all and was pulled back. They were still pushing forward with great difficulty, but their escape speed had already slowed down.
“General! General, what should we do now?”
“Please give the order quickly and tell us what to do!”
“The general is gone!”
It was unknown who suddenly shouted this sentence. All of them were waiting for the backbone in their hearts, so they didn’t collapse. However, after they suddenly heard this sentence, everyone seemed to have been defeated in an instant.
Those demon beasts looked up at the sky fiercely. They roared and released the power in their bodies, wanting to resist the powerful control released from the sky. However, their defense was completely insufficient.
To their horror, they realized that the power in their bodies was still flowing away crazily and was constantly sucked away by the dark clouds in the sky.
What they did not know was that behind the dark clouds was a huge black square platform. The black square platform was as huge as a small mountain. Countless black threads were released from it, holding on to the many demons below.
Li Yuanqing stood on the black platform like a G.o.d and looked coldly at the living beings below.
These demon beasts were originally so arrogant, but now, they were so pitiful like stray dogs.
Fierce beams of light were constantly poured into the dark clouds, but it was as if the dark clouds were wearing a layer of armor. No matter how much power was poured into it, it was safe and sound and was absorbed completely.
For the first time, the demon beasts felt such despair. There was actually such a terrifying thing in this world. What was this? What was it? It suppressed them so miserably that they had no way out at all.
The human generals in Sea City were also stunned. Initially, they thought that their time was up, but they did not expect that this thing would torture those demon beasts to death. Moreover, it instantly controlled tens of thousands of demons.
Those who were about to escape were so shocked that they were speechless after seeing this scene. They thought that the human race had already lost their advantage, but they did not expect such reinforcements to appear. What kind of luck was this?
“The City Lord can actually invite such reinforcements. Our Sea City has a chance!”
“Congratulations, City Lord!”
“Who is this mighty figure that can help in such a critical moment?”
“Our human race has help.”
Many people were so touched that they cried. They had never seen such a powerful human in their lives.
The guy in the sky was really like a G.o.d. No one could think of resisting him.
Ye Qiluo looked up at the dense dark clouds. She knew that there was a man standing there. It was that man who had saved Sea City again.
Ye Qiluo only knew that Li Yuanqing was so powerful, but she had never thought that he could reach this level. There were tens of thousands of demon armies, and there were many Formation Arrangement Realm experts.
Those demon beasts could probably sweep through the entire Demon Realm Continent, but now, they were like a worm under Li Yuanqing.
How powerful was Li Yuanqing?
An hour later, the wailing gradually stopped.
None of these demon beasts could stand up again. The corpses of the demon beasts all over the mountain seemed to be guided by something in the sky as they slowly floated up. After those corpses fell into the dark clouds, they disappeared without a trace, as if there was a huge beast inside that devoured everything.
After another hour, the entire sky fell silent.
The dark clouds slowly dispersed, revealing nothing above the dim sky.
The demons attacking outside had also disappeared completely, as if they had never appeared. They did not even leave any traces.
The defensive shield of Sea City gradually faded, and the entire Sea City returned to peace. It was as if the disaster just now was a dream. They seemed to have never encountered this disaster.
“Is it over?”
They were still dreaming.
“Thank you, Almighty!”
Suddenly, someone knelt on the ground, followed by many others. The city wall and every corner of Sea City were filled with people. They looked at the sky with incomparable piety at the person who had existed like a G.o.d.
There must be a G.o.d that belonged to the human race there.
“It’s the Sword Immortal! It must be the Sword Immortal!” Suddenly, someone said firmly.
“But we didn’t see any traces of the Sword Immortal though.”
“There’s no mistake. It must be the Sword Immortal. Only the Sword Immortal can step forward and save us at this time. Only the Sword Immortal can do it! It must be the Sword Immortal. There’s no mistake!”
Although they did not know what kind of logic this was, they easily accepted this setting.
It seemed that from the beginning to the end, every time the human race was in danger, only the Sword Immortal would stand up for them. It was definitely the Sword Immortal every time. This time, there was no mistake. The Sword Immortal would never disappoint them.
“Sword Immortal!”
After all the smoke outside dissipated, the human generals looked at the kneeling soldiers and the ordinary humans below with confused expressions. They did not even know what had happened for such an immortal to save them. This way, they did not have to escape and could continue to guard here.
“It’s over?”
“City Lord, it’s already over. We’ve successfully survived this calamity. Those demons are all dead and will never come again!”
Suddenly, someone said with extreme joy.
Ye Qiluo kept looking up at the sky. The sky had already become empty. There was nothing left, but Ye Qiluo seemed to be fixed in this position and could not change it. She kept looking up in a daze, looking at something.
“City Lord, what’s wrong? Are you alright?”
“City Lord, what happened? Are you alright?”
Ye Qiluo put away her weapon and shook her head slowly.
“I’m fine. Let’s go down and find some spoils of war. There are still many weapons and materials left down there that should be useful.”
