The addition of seven or eight thousand righteous disciples made this battle between good and evil even more brutal. The sun moved silently, reflecting the splattering blood, along with severed limbs, which fell like rain, soaking the green mountains and turning the verdant vegetation red.
With the arrival of these seven or eight thousand reinforcements, the morale of the Yuandao Sect disciples soared, and the demons finally began to suffer casualties. However, the demons were already bloodthirsty, and the deaths of their comrades did not frighten them at all. On the contrary, it made their fighting spirit even higher and their attacks even more ferocious.
Since the righteous forces arrived, Li Gan has not made any further moves. He simply looked at Liu Lingying's figure with his eyes half-closed, his gaze extremely complicated.
At that moment, Liu Lingying was charging into the demons and slaughtering them. The sunlight shone on her blood-stained face, casting a cold, icy light.
The sun moved slowly, its rays gradually shifting from gentle to scorching. What had arrived at the gates of the Yuandao Sect from the demon realm in the early morning was now noon. Then the sun's light softened, from bright to dusky.
By this time, both the righteous and demonic sides were extremely exhausted. The Yuan Dao Sect on the righteous side had suffered nearly 60% casualties, and the reinforcements that arrived later also suffered nearly 30% casualties. On the other hand, the demonic side only suffered 30% casualties, giving them a significant advantage.
Seeing this result, and glancing at the sky, Li Gan shouted, "Have you demon generals had a good fight? Alright, let's retreat for today!"
The demons were already exhausted. Upon hearing Li Gan's command, they all abandoned their opponents and flew back to gather behind him, Li Molin, and Liuli.
Yu Ke and Yu Xin were exhausted, but fortunately they were not injured. They came to stand behind Li Molin and Liu Li respectively.
The righteous disciples had no will to fight to begin with and had been forced to defend against the demons' attacks. Now that the demons had retreated, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Under the command of their masters, all the righteous disciples gathered together and confronted the demons from afar.
Li Gan looked at the group of righteous disciples with a sinister gaze and laughed evilly, "Today's battle is to tell all of you righteous dogs that I, Li Gan, have arrived! I also want you to understand that the Central Plains, this beautiful land, will sooner or later belong to my demon race!"
Having said that, he laughed loudly twice, his laughter arrogant. Then he lowered his head, waved to the many demons, and flew away first.
Li Molin and Liuli followed closely behind, while the remaining seven or eight thousand demons shouted for a while before flying away.
The demons flew away in an instant, while the righteous disciples in front of the Yuandao Sect's mountain gate remained silent for a long time, watching the scene before them with mostly sorrowful expressions.
The dim, yellow sunlight of the setting sun illuminated the horrific scene. The once ethereal mountain was now stained red, and the corpses and blood scattered everywhere turned the place into a hellish landscape.
After a long silence, the righteous disciples, under the orders of their elders, began to silently collect the corpses of their fellow disciples, and all got busy.
The leaders of many Taoist sects came to Yuan Ling's side, exchanging pleasantries and offering him comfort.
At a glance, one could see deep worry on the faces of all the righteous disciples, including Yuan Ling and the masters of these Daoist sects; they all looked anxious.
Only Liu Lingying remained, far removed from all the righteous disciples, floating silently in the air. Her body and face were covered in blood, though it was unclear whether it was hers or someone else's. She had fought for a whole day, and the light from the flying sword beneath her feet had dimmed; she seemed to be almost too weak to fly anymore.
She was gazing into the distance in the direction where Li Gan and Li Molin had disappeared, her face cold and her eyes filled with sorrow. There was no trace of her former arrogance in her eyes.
