107: Fierce battle!

The Insect Demon Clan is also called the Demonic Insect Clan.

All creatures that have appeared on the Otherworldly Demon Battlefield are collectively referred to as Otherworldly Demons.

Among the Otherworldly Demons, there exist numerous races.

For example, the Sword Bones and Golden Core that Lu Sheng previously obtained from the Sword Demon Clan belonged to an extremely powerful race among the Otherworldly Demons.

However, the Insect Demon Clan currently before them is not a very powerful race among the Otherworldly Demons.

But the Insect Demon Clan has a huge advantage!

Their reproductive capacity is terrifying!

For ordinary races, even the Human Race, it is generally not easy for a single birth to produce two offspring.

But the Insect Demon Clan... can produce dozens of offspring at once, and some special queen insects can even give birth to hundreds of offspring at a time.

Under such unique abilities, although the top combat power of the Insect Demon Clan is not much to the Human Race, their numbers have always been the most vexing problem for Great Xia.

Furthermore, the Insect Demon Clan's size is relatively small, making them most suitable for use as scouts.

As well as for sneak attacks.

And now... what Lu Sheng discovered was the presence of the Insect Demon Clan!!!

Clang! Clang! Clang!!!

A resounding bell suddenly echoed throughout the entire Tianxing Great Wall. Immediately after, Lu Sheng saw that a red flame suddenly ignited on Beacon Tower No. 99, where he was located.

In this pitch-black world, it appeared so dazzling.

“Under normal circumstances, an orange-red flame lit on a Beacon Tower signifies a state of combat readiness, and a blue flame signifies a state of peace!”

“As for the current red flame...”

Wang Yang's face revealed a cruel smile.

“That means a state of battle!”

As he spoke, an extremely massive axe appeared in Wang Yang's hand. Dark red bloodstains remained on the axe.

The moment the giant axe appeared, Lu Sheng sensed an extremely dense Evil Qi.

“I originally thought you guys were lucky to come here to complete this mission. Although it's a state of combat readiness, Otherworldly Demon invasions rarely happen!”

“But now...”

Wang Yang smiled at Lu Sheng.

“It seems your wish has come true, kid!”

“Since that's the case, do you dare to spar with these Demon brats?”

Listening to Wang Yang's words, the corners of Lu Sheng's mouth curled slightly upwards. The Dragon Slayer Sword slowly appeared in Lu Sheng's hand, its cold gleam still flickering even in the dark world.

“Why not?!”

“Good!!”

Wang Yang burst out laughing and suddenly said loudly.

“Squad 56, heed my command!!”

“Here!!”

Below the Beacon Tower, all members of Squad 56, who were originally resting, walked out in unison, already equipped with their gear, each exuding an extremely dense Evil Qi.

“Attack!!”

As Wang Yang's cold voice fell.

In an instant, figures swiftly stood at the edge of the Tianxing Great Wall, their Qi and blood surging as they launched attacks in unison, charging towards the Insect Demon Clan experts below the Great Wall.

Lu Sheng and Wang Yang stood on the Beacon Tower. Wang Yang held his giant axe and said indifferently, “Our mission is to guard this Beacon Tower well!”

“This red flame... must not be extinguished!”

As he spoke, Wang Yang looked at the burning flame, his eyes filled with determination.

Lu Sheng involuntarily tightened his grip on the Dragon Slayer Sword. While excited, he also felt a hint of nervousness.

Suddenly, a black shadow flickered. A creature with an extremely ferocious appearance, much like a beetle, suddenly charged towards Su Yu's position.

As its aura surged, it was actually an Insect Demon comparable to the Blood Refinement Realm!

A Rank 2 Otherworldly Demon!

A cold glint flashed across Lu Sheng's eyes.

The Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand was instantly swung out.

In the black world, only a white light could be seen piercing through this area.

In an instant, a sharp Sword Qi whistled.

Carrying extreme sharpness, it instantly beheaded the Rank 2 Insect Demon, which resembled a beetle, right before his eyes!

“Good! Not bad!!”

Wang Yang, seeing this, also brightened his eyes.

He had already noticed that Rank 2 Insect Demon and was about to make a move, but who knew that Lu Sheng's reaction would be so fast.

He didn't seem at all like someone who had just stepped onto the battlefield.

He easily dealt with it.

Feeling a warm current flow through his body, the excitement in Lu Sheng's eyes grew even more intense.

“Is this... the feeling of slaying an Otherworldly Demon?”

Lu Sheng's heart pounded.

A unique feeling also swirled within his heart.

Regarding the existence of Otherworldly Demons, Lu Sheng had always maintained a very indifferent attitude before.

However, with the scenes that appeared on the first fifty Heart-Questioning Steps, a strong sense of disgust towards these Otherworldly Demons arose in Lu Sheng's heart.

It was as if... robbers had broken into his home, and all he was doing... was driving these robbers to extinction!

Thump! Thump! Thump!!!

Dull thuds suddenly echoed, and terrifying surges of Qi and blood shot up from various corners of the Tianxing Great Wall.

They seemed to transform into a blood-colored giant Dragon, circling in this pitch-black world, letting out a majestic roar at the invading Otherworldly Demons.

Beside Lu Sheng, Wang Yang's Qi and blood had already fully erupted.

As a squad leader, Wang Yang was naturally a Martial Artist in the Hundred Meridians Realm.

Moreover... he was a Martial Artist at the sixth layer of the Hundred Meridians!

Infinitely close to the Late Stage of the Hundred Meridians Realm!

Surging Qi and blood swirled around the giant axe. With one swing of Wang Yang's axe, the Insect Demons in front of him instantly turned into dust.

Green blood splattered in mid-air, finally falling onto the ground.

“Why are you still standing there? Kill these scoundrels!!”

Wang Yang's face was stained with green blood at some point, making his expression even more ferocious.

“The more Otherworldly Demons we kill, the fewer descendants will die at the hands of Otherworldly Demons in the future!”

Wang Yang smiled, but under the dense Evil Qi, Wang Yang's smile appeared somewhat savage.

Lu Sheng took a deep breath, and the Qi and blood within his body, along with his Physical Body strength, instantly burst forth.

His cultivation at the Peak of Blood Refinement and Middle Stage of the third layer of Body Refining erupted in unison.

Crimson Qi and blood power, mixed with the Physical Body strength filled with endless power, swirled around Lu Sheng's body.

Holding the Dragon Slayer Sword, at this moment, Lu Sheng seemed to have transformed into a War God.

Ahead, the dense swarm of Insect Demons finally stopped concealing their tracks, emitting piercing screeches, and surged towards the Tianxing Great Wall.

Lu Sheng's face was expressionless as he swung his sword.

Insect Demons fell tragically under the Dragon Slayer Sword!

Although the Dragon Slayer Sword was only a Low Grade treasure, it had a certain suppressive effect on Otherworldly Demons.

Under these circumstances... not to mention that the overall strength of the Insect Demons was not strong, and most Insect Demons were even weaker than Lu Sheng. Even if an Insect Demon's cultivation surpassed Lu Sheng's, under the suppression of the Dragon Slayer Sword, it would only face death!

Kill!!

Facing the dense Insect Demons, countless Tianxing Army soldiers on the various Beacon Towers of the Tianxing Great Wall bravely fought the enemy, intending to completely isolate them outside the Great Wall.

Lu Sheng also continuously wielded the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand. Streams of Hidden Dragon Sword Qi swirled around the Dragon Slayer Sword, carrying fierce power, crushing the hard bodies of these Otherworldly Demons.

Green blood had already drenched Lu Sheng's clothes.

But for some reason... Lu Sheng felt as if he had inexhaustible strength within his body, and even in the depths of his Soul, there was an endless resentment towards Otherworldly Demons.

As more and more Otherworldly Demons died at Lu Sheng's hands, warm currents continuously surged into Lu Sheng's body.

“Slaughter”!

The target of “Slaughter” was not just Vicious Beasts! As long as the target was killed by Lu Sheng, he could steal one ten-thousandth of their Physical Body strength.

In other words, even if he killed a Human Race member, Lu Sheng could still obtain Physical Body strength!

Not to mention these Insect Demons.

So much so that... Wang Yang, who was beside him, felt an extremely strange sensation.

Clearly, Lu Sheng's cultivation was not as high as his, and even his Physical Body strength had only barely reached his Realm.

But surprisingly, as more and more Otherworldly Demons appeared, Lu Sheng's aura became even stronger!

“My goodness, are these the people from Star Academy?”

Wang Yang couldn't help but mutter, but he still swung the giant axe in his hand, continuously blocking the arrival of the Insect Demons!

However, not long after.

The Insect Demons' attack gradually slowed down, seemingly exhausted.

“Is it over?”

Lu Sheng waved his hand, slaying a second-Rank Demon Insect nearby, and asked.

Now, second-Rank Otherworldly Demons could not bring Lu Sheng the slightest pressure; one-shot kills were not just talk.

Only third-Rank Otherworldly Demons could barely give Lu Sheng some pressure.

However, Lu Sheng saw Wang Yang's solemn expression. He shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Not yet. The Demon Insects are scouts, cannon fodder, to put it plainly. After the cannon fodder..."

"That's when the true elites of the Otherworldly Demons appear!"

Wang Yang's low voice reached Lu Sheng's ears.

Before Lu Sheng could fully grasp the meaning of Wang Yang's words, a piercing shriek suddenly echoed from the sky beyond the Tianxing Great Wall.

"Awoo!!!"

Accompanying these shrieks, colossal, grotesque creatures appeared in the dark sky.

They resembled ancient dinosaurs, yet also giant eagles, each one bizarrely shaped, but every creature emanated an extremely powerful cultivation fluctuation.

"This is..."

Lu Sheng's pupils contracted sharply as he gazed at the strange Otherworldly Demons in the sky.

Wang Yang spoke calmly, "Now, the true invasion of the Otherworldly Demons begins."

"However, these are not for us to worry about. Don't let their powerful auras deceive you; our Tianxing Great Wall is not without its own powerhouses!"

Wang Yang spoke with a hint of disdain.

As his voice faded, an ancient voice suddenly resonated from within the Tianxing Great Wall.

"You beasts, how dare you step even half a pace into my Tianxing Great Wall!!!"

The ancient voice echoed between heaven and earth like a sudden clap of thunder.

Immediately after, Lu Sheng saw figures emerging from the depths of the Tianxing Great Wall, directly treading the Void Realm, enveloped in powerful auras, like shooting stars, charging straight towards the Otherworldly Demons in the sky.

Among them, Lu Sheng also saw a very familiar figure.

Lan Zhan!!

"Is Teacher... also participating in the battle?"

Upon seeing Lan Zhan's figure, Lu Sheng felt a slight relief in his heart.

After all, his teacher was a Half-Step Golden Core powerhouse!

"Look, that's where our opponents are!"

Wang Yang, standing beside him, tugged at Lu Sheng's clothes and pointed downwards towards the Tianxing Great Wall.

Below, on the barren land, grotesque creatures frantically charged towards the Tianxing Great Wall.

These Otherworldly Demons had crimson eyes, filled with an extremely violent aura that seemed to want to destroy everything.

"Kid, now is when it truly gets tough!"

Wang Yang's expression also became much more serious at this moment. He gripped the giant axe in his hand and smiled at Lu Sheng.

"Get ready... to fight for your life!"

Lu Sheng's heart suddenly trembled.

Roar, roar, roar, roar!!!

A series of roars suddenly reverberated across the battlefield, followed by the sight of countless Otherworldly Demons launching an attack on the magnificent Tianxing Great Wall.

These Otherworldly Demons appeared brutal, but in reality, they were very different from Vicious Beasts!

They possessed intelligence!

Their intelligence was even no less than that of the Human Race!

One by one, the Otherworldly Demons used themselves as a Foundation, forming an 'Otherworldly Demon Ladder'!

The Otherworldly Demons behind them stepped on the 'Otherworldly Demon Ladder' and charged directly onto the Tianxing Great Wall.

"Kill!!!"

In an instant, shouts resounded endlessly across the Tianxing Great Wall.

And on Beacon Tower No. 99, Lu Sheng and Wang Yang also began to constantly fight against the surging Otherworldly Demons.

Lu Sheng continuously swung the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand. In his Dantian, that wisp of Sword Qi, like a flood Dragon, suddenly raised its head, as if sensing the emotions in its master's heart, and slowly opened its eyes.

Roar!

A Dragon's roar echoed from within Lu Sheng's body.

In an instant, it unleashed an ultimate killing intent, erupting instantly!!

Hidden Dragon Sword Qi!!

Immediately after, a profound fluctuation also emanated from Lu Sheng's body at this moment.

Under the enhancement of this profound fluctuation, the sharpness of the Hidden Dragon Sword Qi increased several times over at this moment!

First-Rank Hidden Dragon Sword Intent!!

The fusion of two highly compatible powers instantly granted Lu Sheng unparalleled strength.

The Dragon Slayer Sword swung, as if transformed into a meat grinder, unleashing ultimate slaughter upon the Otherworldly Demons charging towards the red flame of Beacon Tower No. 99.

Pfft, pfft!!

Only the sounds of blades piercing flesh could be heard, and the lives of the Otherworldly Demons rapidly faded.

However, those Otherworldly Demons seemed unafraid of death, continuously charging towards the Tianxing Great Wall.

Lu Sheng had lost count of how many times he had swung the Dragon Slayer Sword.

So much so that even Lu Sheng's Physical Body, already at Body Refining Third Layer Middle Stage, felt somewhat sore and weak at this moment.

Lu Sheng gritted his teeth, forcing himself to mobilize the Qi and blood within his body, engaging in a frantic slaughter.

One, two, three... Lu Sheng didn't know how many Otherworldly Demons had died by his hand. Despite the Physical Body enhancement from "Slaughter," the increase ultimately couldn't keep up with the rate of consumption!

So much so that... after only a few minutes, the Qi and blood within Lu Sheng's body were already showing signs of not being able to recover quickly enough.

If Lu Sheng was like this, let alone the other Tianxing Army soldiers.

Aside from the Hundred Meridians Realm captain-level Tianxing Army, the ordinary Tianxing Army soldiers were all relying on their willpower to resist the Otherworldly Demon invasion.

Not for any other reason, but because they knew that once they retreated, many more lives would tragically perish under the claws of these beasts!

On Beacon Tower No. 99, the red flame seemed to hold a great allure for the Otherworldly Demons. Countless Otherworldly Demons charged towards that red flame, one after another, eager to extinguish it.

Lu Sheng and Wang Yang stood beside the flame, fending off the Otherworldly Demon invasion.

Lu Sheng's movements in wielding the Dragon Slayer Sword began to stiffen.

Despite the Dragon Slayer Sword's suppression of the Otherworldly Demons and Lu Sheng's formidable strength, he couldn't withstand the terrifying numbers of the Otherworldly Demons!

Furthermore, as the Low Grade Otherworldly Demons were slain, most of the Otherworldly Demons now charging forward had already reached the third-Rank level!

Under such circumstances, even with Lu Sheng's Heaven-Defying talent, there were moments of exhaustion.

"Damn these bastards!!!"

Lu Sheng gritted his teeth, urging the somewhat dry Qi and blood within his body, and once again swung his sword, attacking the nearby Otherworldly Demons.

However, in a place Lu Sheng didn't notice, an Otherworldly Demon, seemingly merged with the shadows, quietly approached Lu Sheng.

This Otherworldly Demon's aura was extremely faint, making it difficult to detect even in normal times, let alone in the current chaotic battle.

It approached Lu Sheng inch by inch. It knew very well that to extinguish the flame, it had to kill the two Human Race individuals in front of it.

And Wang Yang's cultivation was above its own, so it set its sights on Lu Sheng!

As long as it could deal with Lu Sheng, even if Wang Yang's cultivation was superb, he wouldn't be able to last too long amidst the attacks of numerous Otherworldly Demons.

In an instant, it got closer and closer to Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng's attention at this moment was entirely focused on the Otherworldly Demons constantly attacking from all sides, and he truly hadn't noticed its arrival.

Watching the distance shrink, it finally entered attack range.

Without any hesitation, it leaped out of the shadows in an instant, its claws, like lightning, struck directly at Lu Sheng!

At this moment, Lu Sheng, who was in the thick of battle, only felt a strong sense of crisis filling his mind.

Then he saw an extremely ferocious claw charging straight at him.

Lu Sheng's pupils contracted sharply. He wanted to dodge, but found that at such a short distance, he had no chance to evade!

In an instant, Lu Sheng's entire mind couldn't help but sink.

However, the next moment... a figure suddenly appeared in front of Lu Sheng, pushing him away.

Immediately after... the claw pierced through that figure, and blood-red fresh blood gushed out, spilling into the world, and also onto Lu Sheng's cheek.
