290: Chapter 290 Resisting the Heavenly Demon Army

After repelling the vanguard of the Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators, the faces of the Xuan Yue Sect members were filled with excitement and pride.

Their morale burned like a raging fire, and they were filled with unprecedented confidence in completing the mission to guard the border.

Under the leadership of Yi Kuhan and Yun Chenfei, the group quickly arrived at the frontier of the Xuan Yue Sect's territory—Mount Yuncang.

However, the scene before them was heartbreaking; the Xuan Yue Sect Disciples stationed at the Mount Yuncang stronghold had tragically fallen to the vanguard of the Heavenly Demon Clan, with no survivors.

These abominable Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators were truly too bloodthirsty and cruel; not only did they take the precious lives of many Xuan Yue Sect Disciples, but they even devoured their remains entirely.

Only a few tattered pieces of clothing and broken Magic Treasures remained at the scene, as if silently recounting the brutal battle that had once taken place.

With reddened eyes and tears in their hearts, everyone silently and carefully buried the belongings of their fellow Disciples.

Every movement was so gentle, for fear of disturbing the souls resting beneath the ground.

"Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, Junior Brothers, and Junior Sisters, please rest in peace on your journey home! The Saint and the Saintess have already led us to successfully defeat those brutal beasts and avenge your deep blood feud."

"Please believe that we will do our utmost to completely exterminate the Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators who dare to invade the Human Realm."

Gazing at the silent graves, everyone emotionally made their vows.

Their voices were resonant and powerful, echoing through the mountains, as if conveying their unwavering conviction to their departed fellow Disciples.

Not long after they had settled down, the follow-up troops of the Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators arrived.

At this moment, an army of nearly four thousand Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators, led by a Fifth-Rank Mortal Transformation Realm Demon General, was rapidly approaching Mount Yuncang.

They were aggressive, and were now less than three hundred li away from Mount Yuncang.

"Senior Sister, the follow-up troops of the Heavenly Demon Clan are about to arrive, and the leader is a powerhouse at the Fifth-Rank Mortal Transformation Realm!"

"We must formulate a detailed battle plan."

After receiving the message from the Sect scouts, Yun Chenfei said with a solemn expression.

"I will lead four thousand Sect Disciples to confront the enemy head-on, while you lead some of the higher-cultivation Disciples to hide within a Concealment Formation Array, waiting for the right moment to launch a surprise attack to secure victory."

After a moment of thought, Yi Kuhan quickly made the arrangements.

"Let me be responsible for facing the enemy head-on. I have recently comprehended a mysterious Divine Ability that is very suitable for direct confrontation."

However, Yun Chenfei spoke with confidence.

Hearing this, Yi Kuhan did not insist on her own idea.

Soon, she set up a Concealment Formation Array near Mount Yuncang and led three hundred Xuan Yue Sect Disciples at the Hedao Realm or above to sneak into it.

Yun Chenfei led a group of Disciples and stood at the foot of Mount Yuncang, waiting in battle formation.

In the distance, the Heavenly Demon Clan army gradually approached, a vast dark mass that brought endless pressure.

Yun Chenfei took a deep breath, a flash of determination in his eyes. He circulated his Cultivation Technique, his Aura rising steadily, and the long sword in his hand glinted with a cold light.

"Kill!"

With a roar, he immediately unleashed Heavenly God Descends and charged out first; seeing this, the Disciples behind him followed without hesitation.

The two sides immediately clashed, engaging in a fierce battle.

Yun Chenfei's sword style was fierce, and every strike contained powerful energy; for a time, no one could stop him.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yi Kuhan was closely monitoring the situation of the battlefield from within the Concealment Formation Array, looking for the best opportunity to strike.

Soon, that Fifth-Rank Mortal Transformation Realm Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivator noticed Yun Chenfei in the crowd.

His eyes were like torches as he stared fixedly at Yun Chenfei and snorted coldly: "Hmph, a mere Hedao Realm cultivator, yet you possess such an extraordinary Divine Ability."

His eyes revealed a trace of greed and jealousy, and he secretly thought to himself: "You must be a Core Disciple of the Xuan Yue Sect. I will behead you first and claim the first merit!"

Thinking of this, the Fifth-Rank Mortal Transformation Realm Demon General did not hesitate to lead dozens of guard soldiers, charging towards Yun Chenfei like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

Yun Chenfei naturally noticed the Demon General, but he remained calm and unhurried. His sword technique became increasingly fierce, and every strike precisely cut down the surrounding Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators.

He knew that the mission he shouldered was significant, and he could not retreat in the slightest.

At the same time, he also reckoned that Yi Kuhan must have noticed the Demon General in the crowd and was waiting for his arrival.

As expected, it didn't take long for the Demon General to reach Yun Chenfei.

He had a tall and powerful figure, exuding a strong Aura, and without a word, he launched a fierce attack on Yun Chenfei.

He waved the black spear in his hand, the tip glinting with cold light, and with a sharp gust of wind, he thrust it straight at Yun Chenfei's chest.

Yun Chenfei dodged to the side, avoiding this fatal blow.

His eyes were calm and firm, and he swung his long sword, carving out a brilliant sword radiance as he counterattacked against the Demon General.

The Demon General dodged to the side, swung his spear, and swept it towards Yun Chenfei with a sharp gust of wind.

Yun Chenfei leaped into the air, avoiding the attack while his sword traced an arc in the air, aiming straight for the Demon General's head.

The two exchanged blows, neither giving an inch, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi became increasingly violent with their fighting.

Just as both were gathering their ultimate moves, preparing for a life-or-death struggle.

Yi Kuhan moved; she led hundreds of elite Xuan Yue Sect Disciples as if they were divine soldiers descending from heaven, suddenly rushing out of the Concealment Formation Array and charging at the Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators.

Seeing this, the Demon General was startled, immediately stopped gathering power, and wanted to turn and flee.

"Space Imprisonment!"

Accompanied by a low roar, the Demon General's body seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, unable to move.

"White Tiger Slaughter Art!"

At the same time, Yun Chenfei did not hesitate to abandon the Eight Forms of Reversal Chaos he had been secretly gathering, and quickly unleashed the faster Four Sacred Arts.

With the perfect coordination between Yun Chenfei and Yi Kuhan, it didn't take long for the Demon General to gradually fall into a disadvantage.

"Senior Sister, let's finish this battle quickly; I cannot maintain this Heavenly God Descends state for much longer."

Yun Chenfei suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of weakness welling up in his heart and hurriedly spoke to Yi Kuhan via sound transmission.

"Could it be that the strain on him over this period has been too severe? Why has he become so weak?"

Yi Kuhan thought to herself.

At the same time, she immediately changed her tactics, shifting from support to active offense.

"Instant Radiance!"

A dazzling crimson stream of light flashed across the sky like lightning, resembling a meteor burning with raging flames, instantly piercing through the Demon General's head at an astonishing speed.

Following the fall of their commander, the Heavenly Demon Clan army lost its command and soon scattered and fled like birds and beasts.
