The human-like face of the snake demon lord was blown into a charred black by the rune shell that he had just caught in his hand.
It opened its mouth and was about to speak when a cloud of black smoke came out.
It was stunned and even forgot what it wanted to say.
Since entering the realm of demigod, the Snake Demon Lord has never been in such an embarrassing state.
This was the result of it releasing its magic in time when the explosion occurred, summoning a circle of waves containing extremely strong magical power to guard it.
Otherwise, it would definitely be more than just a matter of getting blown to the face!
Even if its cultivation has surpassed level seven and entered the realm of demigod, it will still be injured!
Maybe, like the other little demons nearby, they would be blown up and emit a burning aroma...
Although the snake demon lord only suffered minor flesh injuries thanks to Yao Lang's protection, his head was still shaken and he felt dizzy.
And the questions in its mind are countless:
"Why do these cultivators' flying swords explode? Why are they still so powerful?"
"The power of a single flying sword explosion is comparable to a fourth or fifth level spell. They seem to have formed a magic circle to make the power even stronger. Otherwise, our demon shield would not have been completely blown up in an instant!"
"With such magical instruments, the cultivators just let them explode when they said so? They don't cherish them at all? This is completely different from the cultivators we have seen before!"
The Snake Demon Lord clearly remembered that the flying swords used by the cultivators they had encountered before could chop, split, and stab, but could not explode.
Are all these cultivators in Yinshan wealthy and powerful people?
Make magic weapons explode at any time?
Suddenly, the Snake Demon Lord thought of another thing.
Previously, at the foot of the mountain, a large number of demon lords, including the White Bone Demon Lord, and their demons were all killed, leaving no trace of their bodies.
The explanation given by Demon Lord Heyu was that Demon Lord Baigu and his men were annihilated by the cultivators.
But before today, the Snake Demon Lord and other demon lords who had never seen the strength of Su Mu and others did not believe this statement.
On the one hand, they have all hunted cultivators who entered the Yuanjiao secret realm.
In the eyes of the Snake Demon Lord and others, these cultivators who entered the Yuanjiao Secret Realm were not very strong and had little practical experience. They could barely deal with monsters below level three or four, but it was impossible for them to kill a demon lord above level five!
What's more, the Bone Demon Lord has not only entered the demigod realm, but has also reached the ninth level, and is only one step away from becoming a true immortal or true god.
Although the distance of this step might be a bit far... it is definitely not something that a cultivator can accomplish!
On the other hand, there have been rumors secretly during this period that the deaths of the White Bone Demon Lord and other demons were caused by the Heyu Demon Lord.
The Heyu Demon Lord took advantage of the opportunity when the White Bone Demon Lord was attacking the cultivators to stab the White Bone Demon Lord in the back, and killed all the demons and ghosts who witnessed the incident!
Therefore, most of the demons and ghosts that were wiped out at the foot of Jade Mountain were subordinates of the White Bone Demon Lord, while most of the subordinates of the Heyu Demon Lord were fine.
With the strength of the Heyu Demon Lord, he could stab the Baigu Demon Lord in the back and kill him unexpectedly!
But at this moment, after being bombarded by the cultivators, the Snake Demon Lord's opinion on this matter began to waver.
The strength and fighting methods of these cultivators in Yinshan are obviously different from those of the cultivators they have encountered before.
Stronger! And weirder!
The annihilation of all the demons and ghosts at the foot of Jade Mountain might have been done by this group of cultivators!
Thinking of this, the Snake Demon Lord couldn't help but shiver.
"If that's the case, then we are not vanguards at all, but cannon fodder!"
"The Demon Lord He Yu wants us to risk our lives to explore the way and consume the cultivators' ammunition. Then he and his minions can sit back and reap the benefits!"
"No wonder it placed all its trusted followers in the back. I thought it had a change of heart. Now I know that it has no conscience at all. It is as sinister and despicable as ever!"
Looking around, the Snake Demon Lord discovered that more than half of his men had been killed or wounded in the previous wave of rune shells.
Many injured demons and ghosts were wailing loudly, not only did they look extremely miserable, but their originally high morale was also brought to the lowest point.
Many demons were still shouting at it:
"Demon Lord, let's retreat!"
"Yes, Demon Lord, let's retreat. These cultivators are different from the ones we have seen before. They are too weird. We haven't even seen their people yet, and more than half of them have been killed or wounded. How can we fight this battle? There is no way to fight!"
"It's not that we are incompetent, it's just that the cultivators are too cunning..."
The snake demon lord also wanted to retreat.
Although the previous wave of rune shells did not really hurt it, it caused heavy casualties to the demons under its command.
This makes it very sad.
Looking at the other demon lords who were serving as vanguards, they were also hesitating and wanted to retreat.
But just when the Snake Demon Lord and his men were about to give the order to retreat, they suddenly heard the extremely cold voice of the Heyu Demon Lord.
"Without my order, no one is allowed to retreat. Otherwise, you will be treated as deserters and will be killed without mercy!"
This sound was not only heard by several demon lords, but also reached the ears of demons and ghosts.
The ears and brains of the demons were pierced with pain, as if countless sharp thorns were pricking them!
Be it the demon lords or the demons under their command, they all had no doubt that if they dared to retreat, the voice of Demon Lord He Yu would turn into invisible demon needles and pierce their heads!
This is also true.
There was a group of injured demons struggling to get out of the thick fog, but after just a few steps, their heads exploded and they fell to the ground, dead.
The voice of Demon Lord He Yu once again reached the ears of all the demons:
"These cultivators are not very strong, they just rely on the power of their magic weapons. As long as you rush out of the thick fog and enter the Yinshan Great Wall, you will be able to kill them all! This is the opportunity I give you to make a contribution, don't be so shameless!"
The demons and ghosts were trembling with fear at the voice of Demon Lord He Yu, and they all turned their eyes to their own Demon Lord, waiting for their decision.
Several demon lords looked at each other, and finally succumbed to the threat of Demon Lord He Yu, saying:
"Keep charging!"
"The Demon Lord He Yu said that cultivators only rely on the power of magic weapons. There is nothing to be afraid of!"
"Just now we underestimated the enemy and were not prepared enough. Now we, the demon lords, will put up the shield with all our strength and will definitely be able to protect you. You will rush out of the thick fog without any injuries, enter the Yinshan Great Wall, and kill the cultivators!"
At this moment, several demon lords felt a common hatred for the enemy.
In other words, they know that they are on the same boat and must cooperate sincerely to have hope.
There is a demon lord who is good at healing arts. He mobilizes his demonic power to release magic to stop the bleeding and treat the injured demons.
Two more demon lords sacrificed their magic weapons and transformed themselves into a giant black dragon and a black tortoise respectively, to guard the demons and ghosts.
As for the other demon lords, such as the Snake Demon Lord, they also cast their strongest defensive magic, either condensing shields on the bodies of the demons or giving them buffs that increased their defense.
Just at this moment, another round of rune shells whizzed down.
The huge black dragon roared and flew up, opened its huge mouth covered with rolling black mist, and swallowed a batch of rune shells.
The black tortoise held up its huge shell in the yellow light and blocked another batch of rune shells.
In the violent explosion, the black dragon and the black turtle were blown to pieces.
However, as the two demon lords continued to infuse demonic energy into the magic weapons, a new black dragon and black tortoise appeared.
Although some rune shells were not blocked by the black dragon and the black turtle, they bombarded the monsters and ghosts.
However, several demigod-level demon lords were prepared and used all their strength to intercept most of these rune shells.
Only a few missiles slipped through the net, and although they did hit the monsters, they were nothing compared to the results of the previous round of bombardment.
Seeing this scene, the demons' low morale finally recovered a little.
The demon lords also breathed a sigh of relief and thought to themselves: Although the cultivators' attacks are strange, they can still be blocked as long as we are fully prepared.
Then they shouted loudly to boost the morale of the demons:
"Did you see that? The cultivator's attack is no longer effective! Don't be afraid, charge at me at your fastest speed!"
"Charge! Charge! Charge! Charge! Charge! Ignore the cultivators' attacks. We are here and we will never hurt you!"
The demons charged at full speed again.
But there were also demons who couldn't help but mutter in their hearts: "You said similar things before, but we were killed by the cultivators' offensive..."
The snake demon lord noticed that there was panic and astonishment on the faces of the demons and ghosts.
In order to ease the situation, it rolled its eyes, raised its paw and pointed at a magic trap in the thick fog, and laughed.
The demons all looked at it in surprise, but no one asked, "Why is the demon master laughing?"
Seeing that he had laughed several times without any demons to help him laugh, the snake demon master couldn't help but frown, stopped laughing, and said unhappily: "Why don't you ask me why I'm laughing?"
"Uh, Demon Lord, what are you laughing at?" Finally, a demon ghost came back to his senses and asked.
The snake demon lord took a look at the demon ghost, nodded with satisfaction, and then laughed again.
"I laugh at these cultivators' stupidity and incompetence, and at their ability to only rely on magic weapons to launch sneak attacks! If they could repair the magic arrays and traps in the thick fog, they would undoubtedly pose a greater threat to us. We just gave them the opportunity, but they were useless and didn't know how to repair them!"
The demons and ghosts also laughed, and they all felt that these cultivators were really not that good as the Snake Demon Lord had said.
For a moment, their morale was restored a little.
However, these demons in the thick fog did not know that at this moment on the Yinshan Great Wall, Su Mu was ordering the Yin Monkey: "Activate the magic array and traps in the thick fog, let these demons know whether we are stupid and incompetent!"
Through the monitoring equipment installed in the thick fog, he not only saw the actions of the demons, but also heard their voices.
You want to laugh like the married woman Cao? Okay, I'll help you!
Su Mu sneered.
The Monkey responded loudly with a "yes".
Immediately, he, together with his classmates and monsters who were familiar with magic array technology, activated the magic array and traps in the thick fog through remote control.
