Chapter 722: Demon King (3)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As the Demon King spoke, the entire palace started shaking. A dark mist rose from the ground, covering those demon corpses. Their dried-up bodies rapidly filled out and those originally lifeless forms suddenly crawled up from the floor. However, their eyes were completely black with not the slightest hint of light.
As those demons dragged themselves off the ground and stood upright, the demon vines inserted in their mouths also came loose. They surged toward the entrance of the palace.
“These demons are not dead?” Linghe stared in shock at the resurrected demons.
Liu Huo shook his head.
“They are already dead. The Demon King is using his power to transform them into his puppets.”
“This is the Demon King whose powers are nearly depleted?” Ji Fengyan’s smile faltered as she eyed the growing horde of demons.
Liu Huo nodded.
Ji Fengyan had a slight headache. No wonder Liu Huo said she had only one chance. The Demon King was still so powerful despite being on the final dregs of its energy. If allowed to replenish its powers back to peak condition after swallowing the new Demon King…
Ji Fengyan didn’t dare to imagine what would happen.
She would not be able to handle that—at least in her present state.
Ji Fengyan gritted her teeth. “Let’s get this over with as soon as possible.”
At that, Ji Fengyan raised her evil-vanquishing sword and dashed towards those puppet demons.
The soldiers all snapped out of their reverie. Dispelling the fear in their hearts, they surged forward with their weapons!
The resurrected demons still held the level of combat power they had when alive. To be chosen by the Demon King to enter the palace—even the lowest-level demons possessed exceptionally strong fighting capabilities. Despite having lost their own will, they remained extremely ferocious.
Fortunately, the Blaze Army was highly experienced in dealing with demons. They made use of their vast numbers to surround and attack the demons.
Sharp blades slashed across the demon bodies, cutting off their limbs. However, those demons had no awareness of fear or death—even after being chopped in two, they continued surging at the soldiers with their battered bodies.
“What monsters are these?”
Even the highly experienced Blaze Army were at a loss at how to deal with these indestructible demons.
These demons had no concerns or inhibitions. Under the control of the Demon Clan, their bodies had turned into weapons. Unable to feel pain or fear, they were like a giant killing machine unleashing a ma.s.sive bloodshed among the troops!
The only effective attack against them was Ji Fengyan’s evil-vanquishing sword!
Any demon wounded by the evil-vanquishing sword would have its demon aura sucked into the sword. Without the support of the aura, they turned back into lifeless corpses and collapsed on the ground again.
But…
There were just too many demons in that palace. As mighty as Ji Fengyan was, she could not eliminate all those demons within a short span of time.
“Time is running out. The new Demon King is about to be born.” Liu Huo could feel a disturbance in the demon aura within the palace. A fresh aura was radiating from the throne. The moment the new Demon King was born, the old Demon King would swallow it and everyone here would perish.
