CHAPTER 750: CHAPTER 673: ASCEND TO THE PEAK 72

It can be said that the Demon Clan of Half-step Martial King level was successfully killed by Shuangshuang and the others this time, partly because the opponent underestimated them. After all, the opponent’s Combat Power was much stronger than Shuangshuang’s side.

The Demon Clan of Half-step Martial King level never expected that Shuangshuang, this Great Martial Artist, could fight him for so long, nor did he expect to be controlled by Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Entanglement and then be harassed and attacked by everyone, leading him to die with regret on the spot.

After killing the Demon Clan of Half-step Martial King level, there was no time for everyone to rejoice, because while Shuangshuang and the others were controlling this Half-step Martial King level demon, there were always High-level demons nearby coming to try to rescue this demon.

The High-level demons that were killed by Shuangshuang before were only the few closest and fastest. Shuangshuang and the others killed the Half-step Martial King demon so quickly that those rescuing High-level demons hadn’t arrived yet when Shuangshuang finished off the opponent swiftly.

Seeing the demon they intended to rescue killed, the approaching High-level Demons were instantly enraged. With blood-red eyes, they charged at Shuangshuang recklessly, clearly hating Shuangshuang and intending to kill her to avenge the Half-step Martial King demon.

Fighting with the Half-step Martial King earlier had been very exhausting, nearly emptying Shuangshuang’s Spiritual Power. In a hurry, she swallowed a Spiritual Power-restoring Elixir, feeling the rapidly replenishing Spiritual Power in her Spirit Mansion Meridian, and once again commanded the Thousand Silk Entanglement to charge.

The battlefield training was unimaginable; continuous combat rapidly improved Shuangshuang’s control over the Thousand Silk Entanglement. Nowadays she could simultaneously command twenty threads, unleashing them for large-scale group attacks.

Those High-level Demons with red eyes charging forward faced Shuangshuang and fell one after another in droves. Shuangshuang wasn’t worried about being besieged; her attack style was least afraid of group attacks, and these proactive High-level demons saved her the trouble of finding them one by one.

This was a one-sided massacre; the swarming High-level Demons fell like Low-level demons under a crush. Shuangshuang’s fierce slaughter forced the angry High-level Demons to calm down once again, the previous fear of Shuangshuang dominating their minds.

The Demon clan also cherished life and feared death. When anger calmed down and fear dominated their reason, the first thought of these High-level demons was to escape! To run away from Shuangshuang, a demon even scarier than them!

But it was too late. While High-level Demons fought Shuangshuang, the rest of the High-level cultivators had already tacitly surrounded them from the outside to prevent their escape.

With Shuangshuang possessed by a killing god internally and a solid Protective Shield externally, these High-level Demons were slaughtered cleanly by Shuangshuang in despair.

When the fierce battle ended and everyone inspected the battlefield, they realized they had harvested quite a lot this time, not only killing countless High-level demons but also a Half-step Martial King demon, gaining plentifully.

The army and the sect were both thrilled and wary upon learning of this achievement. After all, Shuangshuang’s side had specifically attracted a Half-step Martial King level demon to assassinate them. If it weren’t for Shuangshuang’s unexpectedly formidable combat power, they wouldn’t know who would’ve died this time.

Originally, the army and sect planned to send a Martial King level expert to guard Shuangshuang’s side, in case the demon clan dispatched another Martial King level demon to assassinate Shuangshuang and other Advanced Cultivators.

However, Shuangshuang and everyone resolutely refused. Pulling away a Martial King level expert would significantly increase pressure on other experts, posing great danger and potentially costing countless lives. Naturally, Shuangshuang’s side was unwilling to agree.

The military and sect also understood the drawbacks of such action; but, as Shuangshuang and her companions represented the sect’s future, they couldn’t ignore the potential threat. In the end, Shuangshuang came up with a solution: equipping everyone with protection artifacts for safety.

Shuangshuang herself didn’t need to take anything else. She had a protective Jade Token given by her master Ling Wuchen, each containing three full-force Sword Qi attacks of Martial Sect level to ensure her safety.

The solution proposed by Shuangshuang was undoubtedly the most reliable. After researching, the army and sect found it feasible, and subsequently provided Shuangshuang and her companions with life-saving magic treasures.

Shuangshuang didn’t want one initially since she didn’t lack protective gear. But upon reconsideration, refusing might not look good for those receiving it, and besides, accepting could allow others to use it—one never has too many safety items on a battlefield where danger lurks everywhere.

Leaving the tent where the high-level sect and army meeting was held, Shuangshuang returned to her quarters, cleaned up, ate, and then meditated for a while.

This time, the demon clan suffered heavy casualties, and the follow-up forces couldn’t launch high-intensity battles anymore. However, the demon’s Protective Shield was strong; just as Shuangshuang’s crew couldn’t sneak attack the Demon clan shielded within their stronghold, they couldn’t either attack the Human clan’s fortress, forcing them to abandon the sneak attack and rest properly.

During this period, Fei Hu had been fighting alongside the magic beasts in another battlefield, and the brief rest between battles left Shuangshuang without time to check on Fei Hu, which kept her worried.

Now the demon clan should cease attacks for a while. With free time, Shuangshuang planned to spend time with Fei Hu. She wasn’t sure if this little one was accustomed to fighting alone or if he was injured.

Honestly, if magic beasts were suitable to fight alongside humans, Shuangshuang would never allow Fei Hu to leave her side.

Unfortunately, the fighting methods of magic beasts differ from humans. If the battlefield involved individual opponents or groups of ten, tens, or even dozens, humans and magic beasts working together naturally complemented each other.

But in this chaotic battlefield where numerous demon clans and humans were entangled, except for riding-type magic beasts, other magic beasts cooperating poorly with humans wouldn’t help.

Winning on the battlefield requires discipline, with all soldiers advancing and retreating together for greater combat effectiveness. However, the individual strength of magic beasts is too strong, and combining them actually restricts their Attack Power.

Their strong attack power also spreads widely when fighting, so their battle style of independent carnage and mutual protection suits them. Hence, whenever fighting the demon clan, the magic beast battle is isolated rather than along with human attacks.

The place where magic beasts reside is different from the human cultivators’ tents, appearing chaotic and crude, with diverse and varied living arrangements.
