169: Everything is for the sake of humanity.
"Too strong!"
Inside a mountain stream, two Dragon Country elites watched the scene occurring in the distance with shock.
Just now, a Seventh-Tier battle had broken out there!
And one of the combatants was their Dragon Country's Fang Bai!
And that Seventh-Tier Demonic Beast was a giant python as massive as a mountain!
A Seventh-Tier Demon King, the Twin Spirit Snake!
One body with two heads!
The opponent's aura was at the early Seventh-Tier, and Fang Bai had taken the initiative to seek it out.
The two who had followed Fang Bai all the way originally thought it would be a difficult battle, but they didn't expect it to be a one-sided crushing!
That giant python had no power to resist in Fang Bai's hands!
The battle had ended less than half an hour after it began!
The corpse of the Seventh-Tier Demonic Beast lay quietly on the devastated ground, announcing the fall of the Demon King of this region!
Now that there was no Demon Lord, Fang Bai moved through the Chaotic Plains as if it were uninhabited; no demonic beast was a match for him!
Fang Bai took out the Seventh-Tier Demonic Beast's demon crystal; he planned to take these resources back for his mom's cultivation.
Bai Ying's talent was not low, but her realm was stuck at the Sixth-Tier, unable to break through to the Seventh-Tier, and obviously, breaking through required a massive amount of resources!
Looking at that Seventh-Tier corpse, Fang Bai grinned.
He remembered that not long ago, a Seventh-Tier Demon King could kill him with a single breath, but now, it was no longer his match!
A moment later, those two Dragon Country elites arrived.
"Captain Fang, the spirit plants in this mountain stream have been completely looted!"
Fang Bai nodded and said, "Withdraw!"
"Huh?"
Both were stunned, and one of them asked in confusion, "Why? The Chaotic Plains are so big, and we haven't even gone deep into the innermost parts yet."
Fang Bai said indifferently, "It's about enough. Being able to last until now is the most ideal result. Those beast tides should be retreating now. If we don't leave, it will be too disadvantageous for us once the Demon Kings and Demon Lords return."
Hearing this, both were somewhat regretful.
From going deep into the rear until now, dozens of space rings were already full, but as the saying goes, who would complain about having too much money? Moreover, they hadn't entered the so-called Demon Lord's lair yet. As the overlords of the Chaotic Plains, their lairs would surely contain extremely rich treasures!
Fang Bai decisively said, "Gather everyone immediately! Return!"
"Understood!"
Soon, Da Qing and the others had gathered together.
Da Qing looked at Fang Bai: "We can't fleece them anymore?"
Fang Bai nodded: "I've already sensed many demonic beast auras approaching; they've likely already fled back."
Hearing this, Da Qing was also helpless: "Fuck! We just got into the groove!"
This Buddy had already entered bandit mode; not just him, but everyone else as well.
After all, who doesn't love a looting spree?
Fang Bai said slowly, "It's enough. The resources you've collected are sufficient for a long period of cultivation. If we keep searching, there's no guarantee we'll keep our lives."
Da Qing nodded: "I understand. We'll return immediately. But are you coming back with us?"
Fang Bai grinned: "Give me all the empty space rings."
Hearing this, Da Qing showed an 'I get it' expression: "Then stay safe!"
He knew Fang Bai wanted to stay and go deeper, but he didn't stop him. After all, for the current Fang Bai, unless a Demon Lord acted, no demonic beast could pose a threat to him.
This kid has already surpassed his old man!
Da Qing didn't waste time and directly led everyone back to the defensive line.
Fang Bai watched their figures disappear at the end of his vision, then turned to look deep into the Chaotic Plains.
His goal, naturally, was the lair of the fallen Demon Lord!
As for the location? Fang Bai had known for a long time!
Thinking of someone, Fang Bai thought to himself: I hope you don't die that quickly!
His figure disappeared from the spot like a phantom... Just as Fang Bai suspected, the demonic beast army had fallen into a state of collapse.
Especially the wave of demonic beasts invading the Dragon Country's defensive line; they were being suppressed and beaten by the Dragon Country's soldiers!
Especially with the return of the missing Old Man Qiu, they formed an encirclement of the demonic beasts along with the forces at the stronghold!
Although Old Man Qiu was seriously injured, he was an Eighth Order after all and still couldn't be ignored.
Soon, the Dragon Country's defensive line was completely stabilized! Moreover, those demonic beasts were utterly defeated—some dead, some injured, and some fleeing.
The entire Dragon Country defensive line suddenly erupted in a tsunami of cheers!
Victory!
Old Man Qiu returned to the top of the city wall, and Fang Tiandao quickly hurried over.
When he saw Old Man Qiu's injuries, his face immediately darkened: "Did the Demon God act?"
Old Man Qiu was an Eighth Order Late Stage martial artist, and in the Chaotic Plains, except for the White Fox, no other Demon Lord had reached the Eighth Order Late Stage. Furthermore, even the White Fox couldn't have seriously injured Old Man Qiu!
Old Man Qiu said with a complex expression, "If it were the Demon God, this old man wouldn't have been able to return at all."
"Facing just a wisp of the Demon God's power forced me to this point. The Ninth Order... truly terrifying!"
Fang Tiandao said solemnly, "Is the gap between the Ninth Order and the Eighth Order really that large?"
Old Man Qiu nodded slightly, "Even larger than you imagine. To the Ninth Order, the Eighth Order is like a mayfly looking at the vast sky."
"If a Ninth Order acts, any random wisp of energy is enough to kill an Eighth Order!"
Fang Tiandao's expression was complex.
The Ninth Order is known as the pinnacle of martial arts, the ultimate goal pursued by all martial artists! But even since the spiritual qi recovery, very few have been able to reach this realm!
Taking just the last hundred years, the only one who broke through the shackles of martial arts was Su Yunsheng!
Fang Tiandao considered himself exceptionally talented, but facing those layers of realm barriers, he couldn't help but feel despair.
To break through to the Eighth Order was already as difficult as climbing to heaven, let alone the Ninth Order!
Unless... Blue Star could have another spiritual qi recovery!
"Have everyone clean the battlefield, and the injured use healing medicine to recover. The situation is not yet settled, so we must still beware of those demonic beasts counterattacking."
Old Man Qiu said slowly, "My injuries are somewhat heavy. From here on, I'll have to rely on you all."
To put on a show, he didn't hesitate to sacrifice himself... Everything was for the human race!
...Little Japanese defensive line.
At this time, with Ten Thousand Dragons participating in the battle, the demonic beast army had been reduced by half!
Ten Thousand Dragons, an Eighth-Rank Expert, was like a tiger among a flock of sheep to the demonic beasts; they simply couldn't withstand his offensive!
Even Seventh-Tier Demon Kings, Ten Thousand Dragons had forcefully killed four of them!
The pressure on the Little Sun Country was greatly reduced. They had certainly suffered heavy losses, but to have held out until now without being breached was indeed very rare.
Ten Thousand Dragons stood with his hands behind his back. With a wave of his hand, countless demon crystals flew toward him like a tide, and the energy within those demon crystals was instantly absorbed by him to recover his spent energy.
At this moment, he suddenly looked up, raising an eyebrow: "So useless?"
At the same time, many human experts seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky!
