1226: Chapter 1226 A Difficult Struggle, a Crisis in the Situation

Meanwhile, the forty Early Stage Tier 5 experts and twenty Middle Stage Tier 5 experts charged into the heart of the Demon Beast Army.

Their target was the Demonic Beasts currently slaughtering ordinary soldiers, the Demonic Beasts hiding in the shadows, and the escape route of the Four Demon Generals!

The battle situation reversed in an instant.

—

The Sword Demon's opponents increased from two to four.

Zhou Tianxing and Zhao Houshan, along with the newly joined Protector Elder Chen Daoyuan of the Radiant Star Domain and Protector Vajra Tie Rushan of the Houtu Sect—four Late Stage Tier 5 powerhouses—launched an attack simultaneously from four directions!

"Nine Heaven-Splitting Styles—Seventh Style, Shatter the Galaxy!"

Zhou Tianxing roared, his long blade slashing out a hundred-foot blade radiance that tore through the Void Realm!

"Houtu Seal—Suppress the Myriad Worlds!"

Zhao Houshan struck out with both palms, the golden palm print descending like a mountain!

"Star Sword Art—Sword Pierces the Firmament!"

Chen Daoyuan drew his long sword, the sword light like a rainbow, aiming straight for the Sword Demon's throat!

"Vajra Subdues Demons—Suppress!"

Tie Rushan struck out with both fists, the golden fist radiance carrying immense, fierce power as it slammed toward the Sword Demon's chest!

Four attacks from four directions sealed off all of the Sword Demon's escape routes!

The Sword Demon's expression was grave as he danced his black sword wildly, weaving an impenetrable sword net before him—

"Clang, clang, clang, clang—!"

The dense sounds of clashing weapons were like a rainstorm hitting iron tiles, with sparks flying everywhere. The Sword Demon blocked with all his might, but the four attackers' strikes were too dense and too fierce; his sword net shattered violently after holding for only ten breaths!

"Pfft—!"

A blade radiance slashed across his shoulder, blood gushing out! A palm print slammed into his back, causing him to spit blood!

A sword light grazed his side, leaving a wound deep enough to see bone!

A fist radiance smashed into his chest, blasting him away!

The Sword Demon retreated dozens of feet, barely steadying himself.

His black robe was soaked with blood, and his body was covered in wounds, but his eyes remained sharp, and the great sword in his hand remained steady.

"Is this all you've got?"

He sneered, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, yet he did not retreat a single step.

The Flame Demon's situation was even more perilous.

Lie Riyang and Heifan, along with the newly joined Red Sun Star Domain Warrior Liehuo and Black Cloud Empire Warrior Moying—four Late Stage Tier 5 powerhouses—surrounded him completely!

"Heaven-Burning Art—Fire Phoenix Scorches the Plains!"

Lie Riyang roared, the raging flames around him transforming into a giant fire Phoenix that lunged toward the Flame Demon!

"Shadow Kill—Invisible Blade!"

Heifan's figure merged into the Void Realm, appearing silently behind the Flame Demon, his black long blade aiming straight for his heart!

"Red Sun Palm—Burn the Eight Wildernesses!"

Liehuo struck out with both palms, two crimson palm prints like two scorching suns descending to suppress the Flame Demon!

"Black Cloud Slash—Darkness Covers the Sky!"

Moying drew his long blade, a pitch-black blade radiance tearing through the Void Realm and slashing toward the Flame Demon's head!

The Flame Demon roared, his demonic flames surging, and he struck out with both fists, colliding head-on with the four attackers' strikes!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Four collisions, four massive explosions.

The Flame Demon was blasted back repeatedly, the demonic flames on his body suppressed to the point of near extinction.

His arms were covered in cracks, and black blood dripped down, turning into clusters of black mist in the Void Realm.

"Come again!" The Flame Demon gritted his teeth and lunged forward once more.

But the four attackers' coordination grew increasingly tacit, and their offensive became increasingly fierce.

After only a few hundred exchanges, the Flame Demon was covered in wounds, and his aura had greatly diminished.

He knelt on one knee in the Void Realm, gasping for air, yet the Battle Intent in his eyes remained intense.

The Sky Demon's battle was the most tragic.

Lin Qingfeng and Youying, along with the newly joined Yunze Star Domain Elder Bai Yunfei and Ghost Star Domain Ghost General Youming—four Late Stage Tier 5 powerhouses—completely suppressed his speed advantage.

"Demon-Suppressing Palm—Net of Heaven and Earth!"

Lin Qingfeng struck out with both palms, the golden palm print transforming into a giant net that sealed off the Sky Demon's escape route!

"Ghost Thorn—Soul Devour!"

Youying transformed into a ghostly green light, stabbing straight at the Sky Demon's throat!

"Yunze Sword Art—Boundless Sea of Clouds!"

Bai Yunfei drew his long sword, the sword light transforming into a sea of clouds that enveloped the Sky Demon!

"Nether Claw—Soul Ripping!"

Youming struck with both claws, the ghostly green claw wind tearing through the Void Realm as it swiped toward the Sky Demon's wings!

The Sky Demon flapped his wings, attempting to avoid these attacks.

But the four attackers' blockade was too tight; his speed advantage could not be utilized at all in the face of such dense attacks.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Three attacks hit his body simultaneously—a sword light grazed his left wing, blood gushing out; a claw wind tore open his back, deep enough to see bone; and a palm print slammed into his chest, blasting him away!

The Sky Demon groaned, his figure staggering, his wings covered in wounds.

Black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, yet the light in his eyes remained cold.

"It's not over yet…" he muttered, struggling to stand up.

The Blood Demon's battle was the bloodiest.

Tie Kuang and Shen Xingyuan, along with the newly joined Chaotic Star Domain Warrior Kuangdao and Xingsu Heaven Star Envoy Yaoguang—four Late Stage Tier 5 powerhouses—completely dismantled his eerie movement techniques.

"Frenzied Axe—Cleave the Heaven!"

Tie Kuang swung his giant axe down, the axe radiance like a waterfall, carrying world-destroying power!

"Starlight Pillar—Star Fall!"

Shen Xingyuan formed Seals with both hands, a brilliant pillar of starlight blasting toward the Blood Demon!

"Frenzied Blade Art—Slash the Firmament!"

Kuangdao drew his long blade, a hundred-foot blade radiance slashing toward the Blood Demon's head!

"Xingsu Seal—Seal All Things!"

Yaoguang formed Seals with both hands, a Seal array composed of starlight descending from the sky and enveloping the Blood Demon!

The Blood Demon transformed his figure into blood mist, attempting to avoid these attacks.

But Yaoguang's Seal array locked him firmly in place, preventing him from escaping.

Tie Kuang's giant axe, Shen Xingyuan's starlight pillar, and Kuangdao's long blade all slammed into him simultaneously!

"Boom—!!!"

The Blood Demon was blasted away, his blood armor shattering, crimson-gold fragments drifting in the Void Realm.

Black blood sprayed from his mouth, his aura dropping sharply.

That slender blood blade was also covered in cracks, and the faces of Vice Marshal Han Zhao and the others emitted even more harrowing wails.

"Heh heh…"

The Blood Demon barely steadied his figure, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, yet he was still laughing, "Four against one… you really… hold me in high regard…"

But there was no longer the composure from before in his smile.

In the Void Realm, sixteen Late Stage Tier 5 powerhouses surrounded the Four Demon Generals, their offensive like a tide, wave after wave.

The Four Demon Generals stood back-to-back, their bodies covered in wounds, their auras weakened to the extreme.

But they still did not retreat a single step—behind them was the King's flagship; before them were strong enemies several times their number.

"Hold on."

The Sword Demon said in a low voice, his hand gripping the sword trembling slightly, but his voice remained firm.

"I can hold on."

The Flame Demon gritted his teeth; although the demonic flames around him were weak, they never extinguished.

"Won't die."

The Sky Demon spread his wings; although covered in wounds, they still blotted out the sky.

"Haven't killed enough yet."

The Blood Demon licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, a flash of madness in his eyes.

Four figures, four auras, like four pillars on the verge of collapse, yet they still held up the entire sky.

And behind them, the Demon Beast Army was being frantically slaughtered by the coalition's powerhouses.
