CHAPTER 323: CHAPTER 318 JIAO PENG

"Boom."

Over the Demon City, the Great Elder of West Emperor Palace, Murong Gang, approached and looked at the Great Demon, saying, "You demons wreak havoc; today, the cultivators of the West Sea will flatten Nine Infant Island."

The Great Demon rolled his eyelids, his heavy eyelids drooping with a sense of disdain, then his eyes showed a hint of mockery, smiling, he said, "You really don’t know life and death. Do you think we have been waiting for you? After this battle, the West Sea will return to the rule of our Demon Race."

"Humph." Murong Gang snorted coldly, but inside he wasn’t as confident as he said, his gaze turned to the distant central island, where the sun and moon hung in the sky, with a terrifying Sword Intent hidden up above.

Similarly, Demon Energy surged to the sky, the heavens rolling and roaring, truly resembling an apocalyptic scene.

The battle there will decide how the balance of victory and defeat will tilt.

But what they must do is to kill as many demons as possible, eliminating the living forces of demons in the West Sea to prevent future disasters.

Behind Murong Gang, on the battlefield, the demon army had already erupted into a melee with the human cultivators, with rampant Demon Energy and Mana, constantly claiming lives of both humans and demons.

Where Li Fan and Lu Yuan were fighting, the two were invincible, slaying demons wherever they went, even if they were at the Late-stage of the Fifth Realms.

Yuwen Jing and the sword cultivators of West Emperor Palace were similarly strong, their presence boosting the morale of the human cultivators, driving them to frenziedly charge toward the demons.

"Kill all these abominations." At that moment, an elder at the Late-stage of Condensation was excitedly killing his way to the rear of the demons, his palms waving, mana roaring, transforming into countless golden shuttles swirling forward to slay demons.

A demon let out a miserable scream, its head crushed; he directly reached into the demon’s body, extracting the Demon Core and held it in his palm, glancing at it with a satisfied expression.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, a sense of crisis rushed in; the elder’s hand waved sharply forward, and the golden shuttles instantly shot forward, only to see a figure moving at extreme speed, with a bang... The golden shuttles were instantly repelled back, causing the elder to stumble backward.

But it was already too late, a giant claw like a hook clamped onto his head, the claw was extremely fierce, each nail like a divine weapon blade, piercing into the elder’s head.

The elder screamed in pain, with a squelching sound, his head was crushed.

The demon stabbed its left claw into the elder’s abdomen, extracting his inner core and opened its mouth to swallow it whole, causing the nearby human cultivators’ scalps to tingle.

The demon was entirely pitch black, appearing armored, covered in many sharp spikes, its head sharp with a hooked nose, black wings sprouting from its back, giving it an extremely eerie presence, like a hybrid demon, with features of both the Peng Bird and the Jiao Dragon.

The demon’s evil gaze swept forward, wings shaking, transforming into a black lightning in the air, leaving streaks of afterimages, too fast for the naked eye to discern.

"Pfft..." Another Condensed Core Realm cultivator’s head was directly pierced, the demon moved so fast the cultivator couldn’t react, and was slain, the demon still carved out the core and tossed it into its mouth.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

Relentless slaughter, the demon’s killing speed was incredibly fast, wherever it went, human cultivators fell, those who saw it moved away fast.

"Be careful, that demon is strong." Human cultivators from a distance cast a glance over.

Besides this demon, several other extremely powerful Fifth Realms peak demons appeared on the battlefield, hunting where they were located.

Clearly, not only do human cultivators have top cultivators, but there are demons among them with extraordinary combat power too.

The Jiao Peng slaughtered his way forward, many human cultivators converged towards him, several Condensed Core cultivators stood at different angles, with two of them simultaneously unleashing their magical treasures, a resplendent golden bell flew towards the space above Jiao Peng, sweeping down waves of light, and the bell smashed down fiercely.

From the other direction, a chain coiled toward Jiao Peng’s body.

"Binding Dragon." A loud voice rang out, numerous spells exploded simultaneously, all heading toward the Jiao Peng Great Demon.

The Jiao Peng Great Demon glanced upward, its evil eyes showing a touch of disdain, sizzling... Black lightning flickered around its body, containing destructive energy, like black lightning.

"Boom."

An afterimage appeared, Jiao Peng’s figure vanished from its original place, the crashing magical treasures hit empty space, and the Binding Dragon Rope lost its target.

Several cultivators scanned with Divine Sense trying to track the enemy’s form, but Jiao Peng’s speed was too fast, even Divine Sense couldn’t keep up.

"Careful..." One shouted warning, only to see his opponent’s figure beheaded by Jiao Peng’s claw, blood spraying out.

"So fast, how can such a movement technique exist." The human cultivators surrounding it felt a sense of despair, among them were those who practiced movement techniques, but this speed was beyond the reach of Condensed Core Realm human cultivators.

Even swords couldn’t compare to such speed, could they?

Is it the demon’s talent?

The Peng Bird Demon’s speed was unmatched, this demon likely mixed with the Peng Bird’s bloodline.

"Buzz..." Black lightning sliced through, and the person who had just given the warning hadn’t recovered from the shock, it was too late to retreat, a claw pierced through the side of his head, pinning him in mid-air.

"Retreat." The others found the scene before them hopeless, the morale ignited by Li Fan and Yuwen Jing slaying demons extinguishing within them.

Earlier, seeing Li Fan and Yuwen Jing sweep away everything, they thought they too could be so carefree and wanton, slaying demons fast and with satisfaction.

But now realizing, this is brutal warfare, they too may die, be killed by demons, becoming food for the enemy.

One was about to retreat, only to feel a pain in the abdomen, looking down, seeing a claw penetrate his abdomen, forcibly extracting his inner core, his eyes wide with fear and desperation as he watched the enemy swallow his inner core.

Pfft...

A claw sliced through his head, the pain vanished, body and head separated.

The surrounding human cultivators battling also saw this powerful demon and felt a wave of despair in their hearts, such speed, such powerful physical attack, how could it be shaken?

"Boom."

An explosive thunderous sound rang out, and resplendent golden light shot straight towards the demon.

"It’s the Golden Brilliance Sword."

The surrounding human cultivators showed excitement, Yuwen Jing was at Mid Stage of Condensed Core, but he had once slain a Fifth Realms peak Jiao Dragon at West Emperor Island, dragging its corpse into the island, shocking West Emperor Island.

Now, with the Golden Brilliance Sword drawn, could it eliminate this demon?

Golden lightning streaked across the sky, killing intent blasting forth, black lightning materialized around Jiao Peng as the Golden Brilliance Sword struck a shadow, while Jiao Peng’s figure stood at another location.

The Golden Brilliance Sword drew a brilliant arc, continuing towards Jiao Peng’s figure, its speed equally extreme, but still only hitting shadows.

"Can’t hit." Everyone looked towards the battlefield, the Golden Brilliance Sword unable to track the enemy, golden Sword Intent surged in that space, golden sword lights filled the sky against the dark lightning, but the enemy continued to maneuver easily, even the Golden Brilliance Sword unable to hit the demon.

Yuwen Jing arrived on the sword, the Golden Brilliance Sword flew back to him, only to see a dark lightning following along, making Yuwen Jing raise his brow at such speed.

"Boom..."

His Sword Intent erupted, enveloping him entirely, Golden Brilliance Sword Intent flowing through, raising his hand to cast out a Hand Seal.

With a fierce clash, the giant claw met with Yuwen Jing’s Hand Seal, as they collided, destructive black lightning swept out wildly, aiming to devour Yuwen Jing’s body, yet simultaneously, overwhelming Golden Brilliance Sword Intent exploded forth, between their palms, a golden and black curtain shot straight into the sky.

Yuwen Jing’s body was forced back, the Golden Brilliance Sword returned to his hand, his gaze towards the enemy became heavy, speed, movement technique, strength, all were immensely difficult to deal with, more so than the Fifth Realms peak Jiao Dragon he had previously encountered.

"Yuwen Jing was pushed back, could it be that even Yuwen Jing can’t deal with this demon?"

The surrounding cultivators thought to themselves that if Yuwen Jing couldn’t handle the demon, they could only watch as the enemy rampaged.

Yuwen Jing’s eyes showed gravity, with a thought, numerous flying swords aligned behind him, Golden Brilliance Sword Intent locked onto the enemy.
