80: Demon Lord

"Don't let them in! Quickly send a team to kill them all!"

As soon as the City Lord spoke, three hundred cultivators leaped outside the city walls in unison, each summoning their Magical Artifacts and charging towards the demon seeds pouring out of the hole.

There were too many demon seeds; tens of thousands surged in at once, and more cultivators continuously joined the battle on the city walls.

Seeing that the city could not be breached for a long time, the black giant hand behind stretched out again, striking the Grand Array once more.

"Crack~"

A sound like shattering glass echoed in the ears of all cultivators, and their movements involuntarily paused. They looked up at the Grand Array above, sensing great danger.

The Grand Array was broken!

In an instant, countless demon seeds swarmed forward, devouring the cultivators who hadn't managed to escape, leaving not a single trace behind.

In just two breaths, hundreds of cultivators perished. With no further obstruction, all the demon seeds charged towards the city gate.

At this moment, the city gate opened on its own, and a thousand copper-armored soldiers marched out in neat rows. The City Lord's voice rang out from above.

"Soldier Formation, rise!"

As soon as the words fell, a thousand armored soldiers immediately took their positions, forming a large soldier Formation.

"Kill!"

With the Formation set, a thousand people shouted in unison, clashing with the oncoming demon seeds.

After only a few breaths, armored soldiers began to fall. The remaining soldiers, instead of retreating, advanced, madly hacking at the charging demon seeds like moths to a flame.

They were buying time. As early as when the Grand Array was raised, the City Lord had ordered the city's common people to evacuate through the back gate.

Unfortunately, they couldn't hold out for even ten breaths before not a single armored soldier remained.

Seeing this, the City Lord above instead calmed down, silently summoned his Magical Artifact, and flew into the sky without a word.

The other several Nascent Souls nodded to each other, leaped up, and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the City Lord in mid-air, unleashing powerful techniques, intending to jointly kill the demon seeds.

When there was truly no other way, they would immediately flee.

However, before they could unleash their ultimate moves, a gigantic monster, wreathed in black mist, appeared from afar.

In the blink of an eye, this thousand-zhang-tall monster took a step and stood before them, then, as they revealed expressions of horror, it directly reached out and grabbed them.

The entire process took less than half a breath; they had no time to react before they were caught in the giant monster's hand.

The monster's powerful aura left them utterly incapable of resistance, as if they were facing a Soul Transformation cultivator directly.

Just as they were about to be sent into the monster's mouth.

A five-colored light, like a celestial river, shot from the horizon, leaving a thousand-zhang-long five-colored light path in the sky, rushing towards the monster at extreme speed.

The monster's meal was interrupted. It raised its hand, wanting to block the five-colored light, but how could it block such light?

In just a flash, the monster's body was pierced by the light, leaving only the giant hand that held the City Lord and the others.

The light passed through the giant monster, then continued to penetrate tens of millions of demon seeds below before finally dissipating.

"Hiss..."

"This is..."

The City Lord and the others finally reacted, their eyes filled with disbelief. A monster comparable to a Soul Transformation cultivator was instantly killed by a single attack... Looking at the more than half of the monsters below that had died, they were completely stunned. What kind of attack could be so powerful?!

While the few of them were stunned.

The more than twenty Soul Transformation cultivators who had arrived with them were no better off, all looking at Ye Ming with shock. Could this really be an attack unleashed by a Soul Transformation cultivator?

Even a Peak Soul Transformation cultivator would be no more than this!

"Why are you all looking at me? Aren't you going to take the opportunity to kill all the demon seeds?"

Ye Ming's face was slightly pale; it seemed that attack had consumed a lot of his Origin Qi.

Sect Master Gao, who was following behind, happened to notice this scene. A glimmer of shrewdness suddenly flashed in his shocked eyes.

Although Ye Ming was powerful, he also had weaknesses. What if... Sect Master Gao seemed to have thought of a scheme to deal with Ye Ming, and a malicious glint flashed in his eyes.

He then returned to his previous demeanor, pretending to be trembling as he flew past Ye Ming to kill the demon seeds.

After all, Ye Ming had designated him as the leader of the charge, and everyone here supported Ye Ming. He still needed to find another opportunity, so he would pretend for a while.

Watching them go to encircle and suppress the demon seeds, Ye Ming's mouth curved slightly, but his gaze lingered on Sect Master Gao for a moment longer.

Withdrawing his gaze, Ye Ming took a step and stopped on the high wall of a city.

"Thank you, two Seniors, for saving our lives!"

The City Lord and the others came behind Ye Ming and bowed deeply to Ye Ming and Cold Edge.

Although they didn't know who unleashed that attack, they were alive.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming turned around and asked these few people, "Which force are you from?"

"Reporting, Senior, we are from the Muhua Imperial Dynasty!" The City Lord answered truthfully.

"Hmm, alright, I have no more questions!" Ye Ming waved his hand, and those few people discreetly left, as if he had only asked out of boredom.

After those few people left, Ye Ming looked at the battle in the distance outside the city. The more than twenty Soul Transformation cultivators almost quickly cleared all the demon seeds.

And this was just one team of the demon seed invasion; there were more demon seeds causing destruction elsewhere.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, it's all cleared!"

Those Soul Transformation cultivators, covered in Evil Qi, came to Ye Ming's side. Sect Master Gao still dared not show his face, but what he was thinking remained unknown.

"If it's cleared, go to other places. Which place is the closest?" Ye Ming nodded, then looked at Sect Master Fei and asked.

Sect Master Fei immediately replied, "There's a large Sect thirty thousand li to our east, still waiting for our support!"

"Then let's go!"

With that, Ye Ming took the lead and rushed in that direction, with the others following closely... The Seven Swords Sect, one of the five great Sects of Meteorite Land, possessed two Soul Transformation Old Ancestors, and its Disciples numbered over a hundred thousand.

Yet, even such a large Sect encountered an unprecedented disaster of annihilation.

The once magnificent mountain gate was now tattered and broken, almost half of its Disciples and Elders had perished there, and the air for several miles around reeked of blood.

Even the two Soul Transformation cultivators couldn't hold out for long, being besieged by four thousand-zhang-tall giant monsters and constantly forced to retreat.

Seeing the heavy casualties among the Sect Disciples, the two Soul Transformation cultivators had no choice but to fight the giant monsters to the death. Just as they were about to use self-harming ultimate moves to repel the monsters.

Ye Ming and his group finally arrived.

This time, Ye Ming didn't use his Five Elements Power. Before even getting close, he directly condensed two cloud palms. One palm slammed down onto the demon seeds on the ground, and the other struck the four giant monsters besieging the two Soul Transformation cultivators.

The other Soul Transformation cultivators also quickly joined the battle. Instantly, the battlefield changed rapidly. The demon seeds that were previously chasing the Sect Disciples were directly annihilated by the arriving Soul Transformation cultivators.

One of the four monsters was instantly killed by Ye Ming's large cloud palm, and the other three were also quickly surrounded and killed.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the demon seeds were thoroughly wiped out.

Ye Ming and his group now descended beside the corpses of the four giant monsters, pointing at them.

"So these are the Demonic Lords comparable to Soul Transformation cultivators? They are even fiercer than what the Heavenly Dao Pavilion said; they didn't die even after being hacked dozens of times in the head!"

A Soul Transformation cultivator said with a solemn expression, and the others agreed. They were indeed difficult to kill, of course, except for Ye Ming, this Prodigy among monsters.
