After a long while, Jintian finally calmed down, and then, with a hand like a knife, he swiftly chopped off the injured finger.

But he was still a step too late; the black liquid had already soaked most of his palm. He took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes.

As the blade flashed, it sliced ​​straight off the wrist, and finally, bright red blood began to flow.

Jintian breathed a sigh of relief, but his inner shock was far from over.

If he had some disbelief at first, he was now completely subdued.

The most famous thing about the six-eyed lion is its potent toxin. As long as it penetrates the skin and comes into contact with even a little bit, the toxin can instantly spread throughout the body. Even if a celestial being were to come, they would be helpless and could only watch their death unfold.

"Not bad, not bad, I didn't expect you to give me so many surprises."

Jintian's eyes showed indescribable joy, but also contained a somewhat complicated expression.

If he were to learn that his entire clan had been imprisoned, given how much he values ​​family interests, he would inevitably rebel against the evil clan. Having such a formidable enemy would not be good news for either him or the great wizard.

Therefore, once the Grand Wizard ordered Zhou Tong's clansmen to be imprisoned, their fate was already sealed.

Zhou Tong was smug at the moment and did not see the deeper meaning in Jintian's eyes.

His gaze fell on the now evenly matched contest. With a gentle wave of his hand, the six-eyed lion-like monkey, upon receiving the command, dashed out like a black streak of light. The strong wind did not scatter its fur; instead, it caused a sonic boom and drew out bursts of dazzling cold light.

Boom

As soon as the six-eyed lion appeared on the battlefield, it let out a few sharp cries. Then, its fur began to grow wildly, forming a waterfall-like spray that enveloped the protective shield in a short moment.

Its jet-black fur was like thick ink, giving it an air of indestructibility.

Originally, the demon army's attacks and shields were evenly matched, with both sides struggling to maintain a dynamic balance.

Of the 100,000 troops, at least 80,000 were novices going to the battlefield for the first time, so they were far inferior to those veterans who had been through countless battles, and their coordination was somewhat rusty.

This is why Jintian was willing to lower himself to ask Zhou Tong for help.

If they were to actually mobilize 100,000 well-trained veterans, not to mention whether Feng Qizi would agree, the Elders' Hall alone would not be able to pass the test. Therefore, they could only piece together the forces in this way. Fortunately, the final fighting force they assembled overcame the disadvantage of quality with its sheer numbers.

However, it is clear that the demon army, which is cooperating for the first time, is not suitable for a protracted war. The longer the battle lasts, the more disadvantageous it is for the demon army. Moreover, the method of concealing their aura can only be maintained for a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, the aura of the demons will spread throughout the entire Desolate Heaven Domain.

When an army is deep in enemy territory, exposing its presence is tantamount to suicide.

Boom

The distant black Milky Way locked onto the protective shield that shone with dazzling golden light, and with a crisp sound, violent ripples immediately spread across the shield.

After the ripples, hexagons formed one after another. Finally, as if reaching its limit, with a sudden burst of brilliant golden light, the countless swirling swords turned into fragments of spiritual energy and dissipated into the air with a loud boom.

Both Zhang Tianjian and Han Fei coughed up a mouthful of blood, their faces turning deathly pale.

The sword formation was maintained by the two of them, and now that it has been forcibly broken, they have suffered a great backlash and are both seriously injured. Their aura has instantly weakened, making it difficult for them to form an effective fighting force.

Fang Yun and Hei Bo were not much better off. They were forced back several steps by the immense force, leaving several deep footprints on the ground. Their faces were pale to varying degrees.

When everyone saw the figure in mid-air, even with Uncle Hei's composure, they couldn't help but show a hint of shock, and their brows furrowed tightly.

"Six-eyed Lion-like Monkey!"

He spoke almost word by word.

Zhou Mu and Feng Qitong also looked up abruptly, their pupils contracting instantly, as if a major earthquake had struck their hearts.

"Is that monkey even more powerful than Sun Wukong?"

Seeing the reactions of the others, Nezha asked, somewhat puzzled.

Lu Shan exhaled a breath of turbid air, his expression softening slightly, and said, "So, even ten Sun Wukongs might not be able to defeat him."

"That powerful?" Nezha was still somewhat incredulous.

Zhou Mu's expression turned solemn, and his gaze suddenly shifted away, landing on Zhou Tong on the cliff not far away.

"This guy really has a lot of trump cards up his sleeve. I underestimated you after all. You even managed to pull off the Six-Eyed Lion Monkey."

"Just who is this six-eyed lion-like creature? You all look so surprised," Zhang Tianjian asked.

He was indeed somewhat alarmed by the power of the six-eyed lion-like monkey, but he didn't take it to heart, assuming it was the combined power of the 100,000 demon soldiers and the six-eyed lion-like monkey. However, judging from the appearance of these people, the six-eyed lion-like monkey did not seem to be a creature of the mortal realm.

Uncle Hei said, "The Six-Eyed Lion Monkey is ranked second among the Ten Great Ancient Ferocious Beasts."

"Only second place?" Zhang Tianjian said dismissively. "The three-headed demonic ape that was ranked first just now was nothing special either."

Hei Bo said solemnly, "On the ancient battlefield, no fewer than ten warriors of the Great Emperor realm from the Nine Provinces Continent perished at its hands. If it hadn't been for a major encirclement and annihilation campaign, at the cost of nearly a third of the Nine Provinces Continent's living forces, that the Six-Eyed Lion Monkey could have been sealed."

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianjian's eyes widened suddenly, and he gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine.

This is too outrageous! One-third of the living force, which means that one out of three Great Emperors will perish. How terrifying would it be if the number of people involved increased?

"Hehehe..."

The six-eyed lion-like monkey let out a strange cry, its flowing black hair billowing out like sharp steel blades piercing through the air.

"Be careful, there is a deadly toxin inside. Do not let even a drop touch your body, or you will die instantly from the poison."

Blackie reminded him.

Upon hearing this, everyone wilted like eggplants after a frost, but seeing the attack approaching, they had no choice but to brace themselves and prepare for it.

"I'll go and hold them off."

With a roar, Blackie's thin body suddenly burst forth with powerful energy, rising slowly like a sun. Blackie's lean figure also expanded infinitely at this moment, becoming a giant hundreds of feet tall in a short instant.

Its palm was covered with a layer of hard stones, densely packed without a single gap, completely isolating it from the outside world, like wearing a thick layer of armor.

"As expected of the legendary Black Emperor, his reputation is well-deserved."

Not far away, Zhang Heng watched quietly, a strange smile playing on his lips.
