98: Chapter 98 One Man Surrounds Three Thousand Demon Guards

Mad Demon Fortress.

This massive city, rebuilt from human ruins, stood deep in the Northern Territory.

The city walls were stacked with giant black rocks.

Outside the walls, thousands of human martial artist skulls were piled up.

Inside the main hall of the fortress.

Commander Gu Sha sat on a bone chair.

He held a polished skull in his hand, filled with blood.

Commander Gu Sha tilted his head back and drank the blood in one gulp.

A subordinate hurried into the hall, knelt on one knee, and lowered his head to report.

"Commander! The scout team we sent has lost contact. It is confirmed that the entire force has been wiped out."

Commander Gu Sha exerted force with his fingers, and cracks appeared on the surface of the skull.

"Who did this?"

"The people from the Pojun Division Northern Territory Branch came out of the city to fight. The leader is their new department head, Li Zhengyang, who just advanced to Martial Venerable. They dispatched a total of five hundred people." the scout replied.

Commander Gu Sha let out a burst of laughter.

"Five hundred humans, and a greenhorn who just stepped into the Martial Venerable realm, daring to leave the barrier and come out of the city with a few broken blades."

Several demon adjutants on both sides of the hall laughed along.

An adjutant stepped forward and reminded him.

"Commander, Xue You died at the hands of that Li Zhengyang."

Commander Gu Sha turned his head to look at the adjutant, his mouth curling in a mocking tone.

"Xue You was an idiot. He devoured a severely injured Nether Dragon Venerable to forcibly raise his cultivation realm, and he didn't even refine the Martial Venerable's blood and qi properly. Is he worthy of being called an Overlord Level demon?"

Commander Gu Sha stood up from the bone chair, and the blood and qi of a 4th-Grade Martial Venerable spread throughout the hall.

The air became heavy, and the demons standing on both sides began to tremble.

"I have stepped into the Martial Venerable realm for decades, and my foundation is deep. A piece of trash like Xue You could be killed with a single slap from me."

Commander Gu Sha walked towards the hall gate, looking down at the demon camp below.

"This person killed a piece of trash and actually thinks he can provoke the entire Mad Demon Clan?"

"Pass on my order: mobilize three thousand Elite Blood Demon Guards and go capture all five hundred of these humans."

"Don't kill a single one. Capture them alive, drain their blood and qi, and pour it into the blood pool to use as fertilizer."

The adjutant lowered his head and accepted the order.

Horns sounded over the Mad Demon Fortress.

Three thousand demons wearing bone armor rushed out of the city gate, holding blood-colored spears, and galloped toward the south.

Pojun Division Northern Territory Branch.

In the center of the plaza.

Li Zhengyang stood on the flat ground, looking down at the array disk embedded in the ground.

The Four Symbols Thunder Array was deployed.

Silver luster flowed on the surface of the array disk, and the array patterns extended to the surrounding walls.

Assistant Chen Feng brought the logistics personnel to check the final connection lines.

"Department Head, the array is connected, the mountain protection defense mechanism is activated, and charging is complete." Assistant Chen Feng reported.

Li Zhengyang nodded.

With this array, the branch's defense was as stable as Mount Tai.

He could also take everyone out to have a big fight.

The door to the command hall was pushed open.

Zhao Yi walked quickly to Li Zhengyang and projected a radar map.

A large area of red light spots appeared at the top of the map.

"The radar detected a large-scale high-energy reaction." Zhao Yi pointed to the red dots on the screen.

"The number is three thousand, all high-level demons. They are still one hundred kilometers away from us. We expect to engage in half an hour." Zhao Yi reported.

Lei Hu walked up holding his thunderstorm warblade.

"Good fellow, we haven't even attacked yet, and those beasts have already attacked first."

Five hundred Pojun Division veterans assembled in the plaza.

Li Zhengyang turned to face the crowd.

"Three thousand demons." Li Zhengyang said.

"Three thousand demon cores. Each of you can get six."

The veterans gripped their warblades, their eyes burning.

Li Zhengyang pointed his spear tip to the north and gave the order.

"Open the gate, the whole army attacks."

Assistant Chen Feng pressed the console button, and the gate slowly rose.

Li Zhengyang stepped on the ground with his right foot.

"Soaring Dragon Sky-Stepping Footwork."

Ripples spread out in the space in front, and Li Zhengyang's figure disappeared from the spot instantly.

He crossed space in an instant and appeared above the Northern Territory.

Zhao Yi drew his warblade and shouted: "Follow the Department Head! Kill!"

Five hundred people rushed out of the branch and stepped into the wasteland.

...

Deep in the Northern Territory.

The three thousand Elite Blood Demon Guards of the Mad Demon Fortress were advancing rapidly.

Leading them were the left and right commanders, who were Half-Step Martial Venerables.

The order they received was to capture the humans ahead alive.

The demon guard commander looked at the open space ahead, and suddenly a distortion appeared.

A human appeared out of thin air directly in front of the demon guard army.

The distance between the two sides was less than a hundred meters.

The demon guard commander stopped, and the three thousand demon guards behind him stopped simultaneously.

"Human? One person?" The demon guard commander sized up Li Zhengyang.

Li Zhengyang took a look at the demon guard troop.

The Martial Venerable blood and qi in his body roared, and the abyssal meteor dragon spear let out a clear chime in his hand.

"Nine Heavens Thunder Control Spear."

"Thunder Fall."

Li Zhengyang jumped up, and the long spear, carrying black thunder, smashed directly into the demon guards' formation.

Boom!

Thunder light exploded.

Dozens of demon guards at the very front were hit by the thunder.

The demon guards raised their bone shields to block, but the armor-piercing effect of the abyssal meteor dragon spear took effect, and the bone shields shattered directly.

The bodies of the demon guards were penetrated by the high-voltage arc, their flesh exploded, and severed limbs scattered on the ground.

The demon guard commander panicked and hurriedly gave the order.

"Kill him!"

Hundreds of blood-colored spears stabbed at Li Zhengyang simultaneously.

Li Zhengyang stood in place.

"Indestructible Golden Body," red-gold light covered his skin.

The spears stabbed onto Li Zhengyang, and the spear tips snapped on the spot.

Li Zhengyang swung his long spear horizontally, the Twist Technique was detonated, and the long spear cut through the bodies of the demon guards.

Dozens of demon guards were cut in half at the waist.

The Dragon Soul Bone Erosion effect stopped the wounds from healing, and the demon guards rolled on the ground in pain.

The commander on the side felt his brain couldn't keep up.

Hundreds of Elite Blood Demon Guards didn't even last half a second in front of that young man in black.

Those Elite Blood Demon bone shields, famous in the Northern Territory for being tough, were directly pierced as soon as they touched that long spear.

Those were the elites of the Mad Demon Tribe!

The commander swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Did he just advance to Martial Venerable?"

"Are you blind? Look at his level of blood and qi, does he look like he just advanced?" Another commander cursed.

"This is at least mid-stage Martial Venerable! The oppressive feeling is no worse than Commander Gu Sha!"

The two didn't have time to think too much because Li Zhengyang had already turned his head.

With a flick of his wrist, the black blood on the spear tip was shaken off.

Two Half-Step Martial Venerables, these were walking ATMs; he absolutely couldn't let them run.

He took a step forward.

Soaring Dragon Sky-Stepping Footwork!

The left commander only felt a blur before his eyes; the person who had been standing a hundred meters away was already right in front of his face.

"Die!"

The abyssal meteor dragon spear, carrying thunder, swept over.

Thunder Fall!

The two commanders were at least Half-Step Martial Venerables, so they reacted at the critical moment of life and death.

The two roared simultaneously, crossed their arms in front of their chests, and their blood and qi forcibly condensed a blood-colored bone shield in front of them.

Clang!

The long spear smashed onto the bone shield, making a loud noise.

Cracks appeared on the surface of the bone shield instantly.

Immediately after, the violent thunder poured into the shield along the spear shaft.

Bang.

The bone shield exploded.

The left and right commanders were knocked flying for hundreds of meters.

The two spat out a large mouthful of black blood, most of their bone armor was shattered, and their bones were clearly broken.

Li Zhengyang carried the long spear on his shoulder and raised an eyebrow.

"Yo, your bones are quite hard."

He didn't use lethal force in that previous strike, only half his strength.

He had expected to kill them instantly, but he didn't expect these two demons to have some foundation.

"Since you aren't dead, good, I'll add some more force."

Li Zhengyang walked forward step by step, carrying his spear.

The left commander struggled to crawl up, his internal organs hurting as if they had been shattered and reassembled.

"Number Two! Don't hold back!" The left commander roared, "Use that technique! If we don't, we'll all die here today!"

The right commander gritted his teeth and plunged his claws into his chest.

"Mad Demon Blood Evil Strike!"

The blood and qi of the two Half-Step Martial Venerables were forcibly fused into one.

The air behind them turned dark red, and a blood-colored skull appeared out of thin air.

The skull opened its large mouth, and the surrounding spiritual energy was all drained away.

The power contained within had truly touched the threshold of the Martial Venerable realm.

The remaining three thousand demon guards saw this scene and retreated one after another.

The commanders were going to risk their lives; no one wanted to be caught in the crossfire.

"Go to hell, human!"

The two commanders waved their hands simultaneously.

The blood-colored skull smashed down on Li Zhengyang's head.

The airflow caused the ground to collapse by several meters.

Li Zhengyang stood in place without moving, looked up at the smashing skull, and frowned in disgust.

"Flashy."

He didn't even activate his Tyrannosaurus Bone.

The blood and qi of a 4th-Grade Martial Venerable surged madly in his meridians, pouring into the abyssal meteor dragon spear.

On the tip of the spear, the killing intent was compressed into a black dot.

Nine Heavens Thunder Control Spear, Silent Kill.

Li Zhengyang bent his legs slightly, and his whole body turned into a black line, crashing directly into the skull.

Sshh.

The skull was cut in half from the middle, exploding and turning into a rain of blood that filled the sky.

The two commanders didn't even have time to react.

Li Zhengyang had already passed through the rain of blood, and the long spear thrust forward violently.

Pfft.

The spear tip pierced directly through the left commander's heart.

Before the right commander could run away, Li Zhengyang flipped his wrist and smashed backward.

Bang.

The right commander's head was smashed directly into his neck cavity by the butt of the spear, like a watermelon that had been stepped on and exploded.

Li Zhengyang landed and pulled out his spear.

Smooth and fluid.

The two Half-Step Martial Venerables died on the spot.

Li Zhengyang skillfully used the spear tip to pry open their chests, dug out the two demon cores, and put them away.

He looked up.

The three thousand Elite Blood Demon Guards in front were all stunned.

Their own two great commanders had even revealed their trump cards to risk their lives, but they didn't even take one move from the opponent and were directly skewered like candied haws?

Although demons are warlike, they are not idiots.

It was unclear which demon guard dropped the spear in his hand first.

"Run!"

"Monster! He is a monster!"

The three thousand Elite Blood Demon Guards completely collapsed, their formation in chaos, and they fled like headless flies toward the direction of the Mad Demon Fortress in the north.

"Running?"

Li Zhengyang laughed.

"You are all my renovation funds; if even one of you runs away, count it as my loss."

Soaring Dragon Sky-Stepping Footwork was activated frequently, and Li Zhengyang directly transformed into a ruthless harvester, diving into the scattered crowd of demon guards and starting a one-sided slaughter.

Meanwhile, in the south.

Lei Hu ran in the very front, speeding all the way.

Five hundred Pojun Division veterans followed closely behind.

"Fast, fast, fast! Run faster!"

Zhao Yi shouted at the top of his lungs, "The Department Head rushed up alone! The opposite side has three thousand elite demon guards, and they have commanders! Even if he just stood there and let them hack at him, he would still be exhausted!"

Assistant Chen Feng's severed arm had just grown back, and at this moment, he was desperately urging his blood and qi.

"Don't break the formation! When we get up there, shield bearers stay in front and provide cover for the Department Head!"

Lei Hu's eyes were bloodshot.

"Three thousand demons! Damn it, I'm going to hack you all to death today!"

Five hundred people were holding back a burst of energy.

In their eyes, no matter how good Li Zhengyang was at fighting, he was just a newly promoted Martial Venerable.

Human strength has its limits.

Being surrounded by three thousand high-level demons, one careless move would result in being drained of blood and qi and eaten alive.

Over the dirt slope ahead was the engagement zone.

"Brothers! Draw your blades!" Lei Hu roared.

Five hundred standard-issue thunderstorm warblades were drawn in unison, and thunder light flashed.

"Kill!!!"

Accompanied by the thunderous shouts of killing.

Five hundred veterans rushed up the dirt slope aggressively, preparing to meet a bitter battle.

And then.

Lei Hu, who was rushing at the very front, paused, almost tripping over himself.

Zhao Yi, who was following behind, bumped into Lei Hu's back.

"Why did you stop! Charge!"

Zhao Yi scolded while poking his head out.

A sentence stuck in his throat, and he couldn't make another sound.

On the wasteland below the dirt slope.

There was no intense battle as they had imagined.

There was only a ground full of corpses.

Those were Elite Blood Demon Guards of the Mad Demon Tribe, each one covered in hard bone armor.

Now, they had all become pieces of meat scattered all over the ground.

Lei Hu opened his mouth wide, his warblade falling to his feet.

"This... did he do this all by himself?"
