CHAPTER 431: CHAPTER 80: ANNIHILATION_3

The great axe descended with the force to split the heavens. Yue Meng timely blocked it with the staff in her hand, retreating dozens of steps involuntarily and leaving deep footprints in the ground.

"Those disgusting Elixirs are the ones you refined, right?"

"Hmph, they are Immortal Pills!" Yue Meng retorted.

"It really was you! Go to hell!"

The stronger Li Kui, Bai Ya, and Ming Yujing—the Three Beasts—each tied down several enemy officers, managing to gain the upper hand for the moment.

However, while their top-tier forces had the advantage, their lower-tier forces were significantly weaker.

The Asura could barely hold their ground against the True Demon Clan; in a one-on-one fight, they were sure to lose, generally needing two of their own to take on a single enemy.

The Crystal Clan was also considered a major clan. Although not as strong as the Asura, the difference wasn’t huge, but they too required three of their members to fight one True Demon.

As for the remaining races, they were far weaker. Forget three against one; even five against one might not be enough for them to win. Fortunately, there weren’t many powerful individuals in this True Demon Clan army. Relying on Chen Jiuge’s other Contracted Spirit Beasts to patch things up, they could barely maintain the battle lines.

High above, Chen Jiuge and the others, now arrayed on opposing sides once more, looked down at the battlefield below, their expressions somewhat grim.

"How can this be?" Jing Gao, encountering the True Demon Clan for the first time, found it hard to believe. "We have the advantage in both numbers and condition, so how are we still caught in such a bitter struggle?"

"This is the might of the True Demon Clan. You prey wouldn’t understand. You three have decent strength. How about becoming my pets?"

"I can take you to the Supreme True Realm to let you witness a real world," Luo Te arrogantly claimed.

"Pets? Heh, I’ll beat you to a pulp in a moment!" the hot-tempered Yue Jun roared.

Luo Te’s expression darkened, and he sneered coldly, "Just you try!"

Although they argued fiercely, both sides knew that without external intervention, it would be difficult to determine a victor between them.

As Chen Jiuge watched his subordinates fall one after another, he grew anxious. Just then, a boisterous laugh rang out, "Hahaha, it seems I’ve arrived at just the right time!"

"Eat this!"

With a green face, fierce fangs, and bone wings sprouting from his back, resembling an Evil Ghost, the newcomer was revealed to be Yaksha Jing.

BANG.

The sneak attack knocked Luo Te directly from the sky, embedding him deeply into the ground. Yaksha Jing laughed heartily, "Jiuge, am I right on time?"

"Hahaha, perfect timing! Truly perfect!" Chen Jiuge exclaimed joyfully.

With Yaksha Jing and his Yaksha Clan joining the fray, victory was no longer in doubt.

However, those two strongest members of the True Demon Clan were indeed formidable. They withstood the siege of four opponents for an entire day and night before reluctantly falling, transforming into a rain of blood that filled the sky.

"Phew, they’re truly monstrous. The strength of this True Demon Clan is somewhat outrageous," Yaksha Jing remarked, observing the drizzling blood rain.

"I wonder if their status within the clan was high. If not, then we’re in trouble. If individuals this strong don’t even hold high positions, I can’t imagine how powerful the truly mighty members of the True Demon Clan are," Jing Gao said, his face etched with worry.

"No worries. With our brothers from the Yaksha Clan joining us, we can always hold our ground," Yue Jun coughed; he had sustained a significant injury from Luo Te’s dying counterattack.

"Alright, let’s put these matters aside for now. It’s time to take stock of our gains," Chen Jiuge interrupted, steering the conversation away from the heavy topic before it could further demoralize the troops.

Speaking of gains, Jing Gao looked at the large handful of crystals in his hand with visible excitement, his face lighting up. "I never expected the reward of Law Crystals to be so plentiful!"

"Neither did I."

"It seems the path to becoming Golden Immortals for the likes of us lies on this battlefield," Yaksha Jing said with a faint smile.

"But before that, we still need to make more preparations. The True Demon Clan’s next attack will likely be even fiercer," Yue Jun cautioned.

"We need to find more allies," Chen Jiuge stated solemnly.

"Agreed."
