Chapter 139 The Second Wave of Reinforcements Will Not Return Without Death

On the Shifang Academy side, the top combat power of the Ximo Clan was damaged, and the battle situation suddenly reversed.

The teachers and students of the academy, who had been suppressed, began to fight back.

The only Purple Demon who escaped from the City Lord's Mansion to support the High Priest at the Ten Directions Academy was Purple Six.

When Zi Liu arrived at her destination, she realized it was too late.

The battle here is nearing its end. The high priest is gone, and of the three purple demons who led the attack, one is dead and the other two are crippled.

He knew that even if he rushed into the fray now, he couldn't prevent the collapse of the entire empire.

Zi Liu usually doesn't have a strong presence among all the purple demons, but he was one of the first members of the fine demon race to be promoted to purple demon.

Of those who advanced to Purple Demon at the same time as him, only he and the High Priest remain; the other Purple Demons have all died on the battlefield of territorial expansion.

Zi Liu has survived until now not only because of his powerful combat strength, but also because of his caution and quick reaction speed.

For example, when he heard the high priest's mournful cry, his two companions were still stunned, but he reacted immediately, desperately breaking free and rushing to support the high priest.

However, when he realized that the battle on the side of Shifang Academy was beyond saving, he also made a quick decision and decisively turned around and left.

The High Priest brought a total of eleven Purple Demons with him, including Zi Liu. However, in the two battle zones, out of the seven Purple Demons including the High Priest, it is estimated that he is the only one who escaped with minor injuries.

At this moment, Zi Liu decisively let out a shriek of retreat, something only all the Purple Demons could do.

If the high priest were to hesitate any longer after his disappearance, all the people he had brought with him would perish in Five Elements City.

The first reinforcements from the Sky Alliance to arrive were led by Venerable Martial Spirit.

He was always grateful to Bo for giving him medicine, which saved his beloved granddaughter Qu Lingyun.

Therefore, upon seeing the distress signal from Five Elements City, he did not hesitate to have his subordinates burn their life essence to accelerate the flight speed of the top-grade spirit boat.

Even so, he was worried that he wouldn't make it to the rescue in time.

When he led his men to the skies above Five Elements City, they indeed smelled a strong stench of blood.

The smell is the bloody stench unique to humans, while the blood of the Demon race, being a hybrid of plant and animal, has a strong seaweed-like smell when severely injured. The two smells are completely different.

The Martial Spirit Venerable's heart sank to the bottom. Was he too late?

Or perhaps, even if he could arrive on time, he wouldn't be able to stop the massacre of humans by the Demon Clan.

In this situation, if he were rational and cautious enough, he should have led the group to escape immediately.

But then he thought, if the Demon Clan were to launch a large-scale war, even if he escaped today, could he keep escaping tomorrow and the day after?

Filled with grief and indignation, Venerable Wuling shouted to his subordinates, "Gentlemen, follow me into Five Elements City to avenge the fallen humans! Today, we will fight to the death!"

"We will fight to the death!" The crowd, inspired by his words, shouted loudly.

Zi Liu had just issued the order for a full retreat when he was the first to rush out of Five Elements City.

Then he saw a spirit boat speeding towards him from afar, and more than a hundred human cultivators jumped out of the spirit boat one after another, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

The first one to jump was at the Tongtian Realm, followed by at least a dozen Wentian Realm cultivators and over a hundred Tongling Realm cultivators.

Zi Liu let out another shriek to warn the tribespeople that enemy reinforcements had arrived and they should quickly scatter and flee.

Then, he glanced back at Five Elements City one last time before resolutely heading towards the Qiyan Mountains.

There were still many people there waiting for the high priest to lead his people back in triumph, but unfortunately they were destined never to see him again.

What he needs to do now is to bring all his people to the teleportation channel near the spatial rift.

Once things get out of control, the only option is to take them back to their ancestral homeland.

After Venerable Wuling led everyone to jump off the spirit boat with heavy hearts, they indeed saw limbs and broken bodies scattered all over the ground.

The situation was so dire that even though everyone was mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with grief.

The once bustling and prosperous Five Elements City has now become a scene of hell on earth.

Then they saw the Blue Demon and the Green Demon moving like ghosts through the mist.

Everyone thought they had slaughtered everyone in Five Elements City and were now planning to swarm over to kill the reinforcements.

"Kill all these demons and avenge the fallen human race!" someone shouted, charging towards the demons.

The panicked Demon Clan, seeing so many human reinforcements suddenly appear out of nowhere, finally understood why Lord Zi Liu had ordered a retreat when they were having a good time killing.

The enemy was strong and we were weak, and the morale of our troops collapsed instantly.

Even with the presence of four Purple Demons sent to attack the Nameless Sect and other rogue cultivators and minor sects, the low- and mid-level Fine Demons still lost their fighting spirit.

They discovered that the retreat order was given by Lord Zi Liu, but the High Priest did not appear, which meant that the High Priest had most likely perished.

The four purple demons, being more intelligent, naturally figured out the reason immediately.

At this point, they all panicked.

The High Priest didn't appear, Zi Liu ran away, and the other five Purple Demons also didn't show up. If they didn't run away quickly, they would definitely be surrounded and killed by these humans.

However, at this point, even if they wanted to run, they couldn't escape.

The Martial Spirit Venerable first entangled one of the purple demons, and his subordinates at the Heavenly Questioning Realm also split into groups of four to entangle the other three purple demons that were trying to escape.

After slaying all the purple demons from the Ten Directions Academy, the dean immediately summoned several instructors at the Heavenly Inquiry Realm to head to the City Lord's Mansion.

The dean knew that even if everyone in the city lord's mansion fought to the death, they would not be a match for the three purple demons.

However, when they were halfway there, they encountered four purple demons who were fleeing in panic.

With the aim of killing as many as possible, the Dean and Ah Chen immediately joined the battle.

The dean's first attack was on the Purple Demon who was entangled by the Martial Spirit Venerable. With the combined efforts of the two Tongtian Realm experts and the opponent's panicked state, the Martial Spirit Venerable quickly seized the opportunity and delivered a fatal blow to the Purple Demon.

On the other side, Achen launched a mental shock drill at a purple demon that was being entangled by five people at the Heavenly Realm.

The Purple Demons had already activated an invincible cheat code in the previous battle, allowing them to slaughter human cultivators with impunity.

At this moment, without the protection of the invincible purple light, the mental impact drill pierced into the brain of this purple demon without any hindrance.

The Purple Demon was subjected to a severe attack on his soul, and he was in excruciating pain, which immediately made him slow down.

Long Batian's tongue swelled up and wrapped around Zi Mo's waist, cutting his body in two.

Two of the four purple demons were severely injured, and the remaining two simultaneously activated the Soul Burning Technique, their bodies turning into phantoms as they forcibly fled the battlefield.

The remaining low- to mid-level demons did not possess such abilities and were all killed.

Thus, their campaign to attack Five Elements City was a complete failure.
