Chapter 183: Demon Tide (Second Update)
Chapter 183: Demon Tide (Second Update)
"Roar!!!"
With the roar of the Demons, the Demon Tide approached like a dark cloud, filling the Pass.
On the City Wall, the Deputy General of the Blood Fiend Army commanded, "Activate the Array!"
A golden light emerged over Cangya City, enveloping it in the Array's protection.
"So many War Banners!"
In the Demon Tide, the four Great Demons of the Three Eternities Realm saw the Heavenly Battle Flags planted on the City Wall and their faces darkened slightly.
"However, at such close range, if these War Banners explode, they will likely be affected as well, won't they?"
"But it's unclear if the Array attacks within these War Banners target only Demons."
The four Great Demons of the Three Eternities Realm had a grave expression. They had anticipated this scenario, but they hadn't expected the number of War Banners to be so numerous.
"First, breach the city and let the Lesser Demons destroy the War Banners, then we'll retreat!"
They had already planned their strategy. After a brief pause, they sounded the charge.
Instantly, the Demons behind them responded, charging toward the city enveloped in golden light.
But at that moment, a dragon's roar echoed from a distance, sweeping across the land!
It seemed to come from dozens of miles away, roaring and sweeping through the air!
The four Great Demons of the Three Eternities Realm all looked up, and the soldiers on the City Wall couldn't help but do the same. They saw a streak of Golden Sword Light flying from the city, soaring high over their heads like a brilliant meteor.
"It's a sword!"
"It's the Dragon Dawn Sword!"
The faces of the Great Demons of the Three Eternities Realm changed dramatically as they recognized the famous sword.
This renowned sword, now in Li Hao's possession, had grown even more formidable, its reputation spreading across the five thousand miles Beyond the Pass!
As they recognized the Dragon Dawn Sword, it soared out of the Array, its blade covered by Li Hao's Object Control Divine Sense. With Li Hao's presence and the Array command, the Flying Sword passed through the Array without hindrance.
Swoosh!
The Demon Soul on the Dragon Dawn Sword was activated, roaring toward the sky, its sound echoing for a hundred miles Beyond the Pass!
Then, like a True Dragon entering the sea, it unleashed a torrent of Sword Qi. In an instant, the blade split into countless sword rains, forming a terrifying Sword Tide!
Standing alone, it dominated the sky!
The vast Sword Tide surged forward like a sea, pressing down on the five thousand Demons.
The Dragon Dawn Sword, surrounded by divine light, darted through the Demon Tide like a golden dragon, moving at incredible speed. It was like a golden bolt of lightning, drawing golden arcs through the Demon Tide.
Wherever it passed, Demons were pierced through. Those with lower Cultivation were torn apart by the Sword Qi, unable to even scream.
The Sword Tide also surged forward, colliding with the oncoming Demon Tide. Instantly, the Demons at the front were pierced through, blood flying everywhere, their auras dispersing, leaving them riddled with wounds!
This shocking scene left the soldiers on the City Wall speechless.
Most of these Haotian Army soldiers were the Martial Artists from various states who had come to reinforce Li Hao. When they arrived, they saw Li Hao, covered in blood and flesh, looking extremely miserable, under the attacks of several Demon Kings.
Their impression of Li Hao was still from the time he stood alone against the sky at Daiyue City, beside the Dragon River.
After all, that wasn't long ago.
But now, the overwhelming power unleashed by the Dragon Dawn Sword left them speechless.
A single sword cut through five thousand Demons!
Among them were dozens of Demons at the Tianren Realm, and they weren't fighting one by one as in a Grandmaster Discussion, but could launch combined attacks!
Yet, they were still slaughtered, their forces shattered and unable to resist!
Noble Family heirs from various parts of the city followed, some climbing to the tops of nearby buildings to watch, while others summoned their Divine Souls to observe from high in the sky.
Seeing the endless Sword Tide outside the Array and the True Dragon Divine Sword darting through it, they were all left in awe.
"Is that sword the Young General's?"
"It's his sword, I recognize it—it's the Dragon Dawn!!"
"The first of the world's famous swords, that's it!"
Many of the Noble Family heirs were familiar with famous swords, having seen their images and descriptions spread far and wide.
What makes a sword renowned is not just its name, but also its form and posture, known to all under heaven!
At this moment, under the watchful eyes of the entire city, the Dragon Dawn Sword unleashed countless sword waves, decimating the Demon army.
This gruesome and shocking scene felt more like a one-sided massacre by the dragon sword, rather than a Demon Tide attacking the city!
Blood flowed freely, and countless Demons roared in anger, yet they were instantly pierced through, as fragile as paper or tofu, offering no resistance to the Dragon Dawn Sword!
As the Dragon Dawn Sword plunged deeper into the Demon Tide, it soon targeted the four great Demons of the Three Eternities Realm.
In the Wattle Yard,
Li Hao gently placed a chess piece.
With the Demon Tide surging outside the city, he had already sensed the presence of four Three Eternities Realm Demons, two of which were hidden, thus undetected by the scouts. This was a deliberate oversight by the great Demons.
The coordination, one overt and one covert, was like the placement of pieces on a chessboard, black and white intertwined.
Apart from these few great Demons of the Three Eternities Realm, there was no sign of a Demon King, perhaps hidden even deeper.
But it didn't matter; they would slaughter the entire Demon Tide.
In the face of absolute power, shallow tricks were useless.
"Capture!"
Li Hao's four pieces surrounded and captured a black piece, which was an extension of Xu Zhouyuan's black chess piece, attempting to encroach on more white territory but was cut off and trapped by Li Hao.
Boom!!
The Dragon Dawn Sword suddenly pierced through the void, aiming to slay a Three Eternities Realm great Demon!
"Damn it!!"
This Three Eternities Realm great Demon was terrified, the divine sword's might was too overwhelming. Could it be that the young man didn't go to the Heavenly Mechanism Tower but was instead stationed in the city?
Or was it just his avatar controlling the sword?
He roared, revealing his true form, a massive bull, and charged at the divine sword with his horns. His body was brimming with demonic energy, forming a towering Ox Demon silhouette behind him, a trace of ancient Demon King bloodline hidden in his lineage.
The Ox Demon's shadowy eyes glowed with a crimson light, attempting to sweep and grab the Dragon Dawn Sword.
But the Dragon Dawn Sword erupted with even more powerful and explosive sword qi, like a dragon's roar piercing the air, swiftly dodging the Three Eternities Realm great Demon's horns and thrusting straight at his head.
A dull thud echoed.
The skull shattered.
The golden divine light of the Dragon Dawn Sword vanished above his head, and the Three Eternities Realm great Demon's eyes widened, his pupils contracting, his body stiffening in place.
In less than two seconds, brilliant sword light split his body from all sides, his form fracturing like shattered pottery, countless cracks radiating divine light, and then exploding outward.
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, his body torn to pieces!
A divine soul escaped from his body, heavily injured, screaming as it fled, burning with divine energy at an incredible speed.
But the Dragon Dawn Sword was even faster, swiftly catching up and slicing through the divine soul, extinguishing it!
The divine soul burned like gold paper, twitching in the air as the sword's attack inflicted searing pain and damage. Its body was consumed by flames, struggling to move forward, eyes filled with despair, regret, and unwillingness.
But in the end, the divine soul was completely burned away, leaving nothing behind, like a gust of wind that dispersed into the air.
The Dragon Dawn Sword whistled toward the other three great Demons, unrelenting, its power growing even more intense.
"Damn it, what kind of power is this?!"
"Run!"
The remaining three great Demons were horrified, witnessing the sword pierce through a Three Eternities Realm demon and slay it instantly.
That was the Indestructible Realm, with a body as strong as a divine weapon, yet it was shredded into countless pieces by this divine sword?!
At this moment, they finally realized the young man had not left Cangya City; it was all a ruse, a deliberate trap!
But their realization came too late.
They scattered, fleeing in all directions, no longer concerned with the Demon Tide they had summoned, only thinking of their own survival.
But the Dragon Dawn Sword was too fast, instantly catching up to another Three Eternities Realm demon. Despite its desperate resistance, a towering sword qi, hundreds of feet tall, like a blade descending from the clouds, split its body in two!
The overwhelming power left the crowd on the City Wall feeling their blood boil, a mix of shock and joy as they clenched their fists.
After slaying one demon, the Dragon Dawn Sword turned to chase the other two Three Eternities Great Demons. The main sword pursued them, while the Sword Tide it generated formed a dragon composed of countless sword lights, which scattered to chase another Great Demon.
The Great Demon being pursued by the Sword Qi dragon fled in panic. Though he was also in the Indestructible Realm, the brutal death of the Ox Demon without any resistance had left him with no will to fight.
He was overjoyed to see the Dragon Dawn Sword’s main form chasing his so-called "old friend."
He fled for his life, but the Sword Qi tide surged from behind. He roared, “Shatter!”
He thought that just a split-off Sword Qi could slay him, did they really think he was a soft target?
Enraged, he roared and his palms, like divine iron, unleashed a vast demonic aura that condensed into a mountain-sized palm print, pushing it forward.
But the moment it made contact, he sensed something was wrong. The penetrating power of the Sword Qi dragon was far stronger than he had imagined.
The Demon Palm shattered, and the countless Sword Qi fragments rushed at him, piercing his body.
He felt a thousand needles stabbing him, and blood splattered from his body.
“Ahahaha!!”
He roared in anger, revealing his true form, but just as he transformed halfway, a Sword Qi struck him, and his Divine Soul and strength seemed to be instantly taken by death.
It felt as if all his blood and marrow were being drained in an instant.
“H-How… how could this be…”
His pupils contracted, filled with horror, but more so with despair.
He could feel his life force rapidly fading, as if he were falling into an abyss.
He tried to release his Divine Soul to escape, but it was like falling off a cliff, struggling to climb out of his body but ultimately failing, and it fell with his body.
Thud!
His body collapsed on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Countless Sword Qi struck it, tearing it to pieces.
Elsewhere, the Dragon Dawn Sword’s main form had caught up and slain the Three Eternities Realm Great Demon.
The demon was in the Indestructible Realm, using Enduring Power to unleash his full strength, even burning his Divine Soul and bloodline, but the True Dragon sword spirit from the Dragon Dawn Sword, with the aura of a former Demon King, cut him down with a single strike.
His physical body could not withstand the Dragon Dawn Sword’s blade. Despite his immense strength, he was like rotten wood, easily shattered.
Having dealt with the few Great Demons, the Dragon Dawn Sword returned to the Demon Tide. Countless Sword Tides rained down, drenching the ground in blood.
The Demon Tide let out mournful cries, scattering in all directions, but the Sword Qi washed over them, covering them all.
Though the Demon Tide numbered fifty thousand, with many in the Tianren Realm and Fifteen Li, and overall extremely strong, Li Hao had once slain an equal number of demons in Qizhoucangyu City when he was only in the Fifteen Li Realm!
Now, things were different. None of these demons escaped. In less than half an incense stick’s time, including the four Three Eternities Realm Great Demons, they all fell.
Outside the city, corpses lay strewn about, and blood flowed like rivers.
The broken bodies of countless demons were scattered, creating a scene of hell.
The Dragon Dawn Sword flew in an arc, paused briefly, then shot back like a golden rainbow, returning to the array, and raced straight toward the city center, toward the Wattle Yard.
Countless people looked up, watching the divine sword retract its golden light, landing in the city.
They knew that was where the young man was.
Throughout the entire battle, he never showed his face. Just a single flying sword had slain fifty thousand demons, and four Three Eternities Realm Great Demons!
That young man… he was only fifteen this year!
Compared to the battle at Daiyue City that shocked the world, this young man had become even more terrifying!
The entire city fell silent, a brief moment of stillness, followed by a deafening cheer.
On the City Wall, countless soldiers embraced each other in excitement. The battle that had made them tense and solemn was over before they even had a chance to participate.
The power of that young man alone had cut through the Demon Tide!
“General Haotian!!”
Someone started the excited cry.
Countless soldiers couldn’t help but raise their arms in celebration.
Some excitedly grabbed the war flags on the City Wall, waving them in the wind, shouting loudly!
In the city, the children of noble families, young men and women, and the merchants and civilians who lived there all heard the cheers from all directions.
At that moment, the name of that young man resonated in their minds.
Hao Tian!
