Ji Meng easily broke free from the entanglement of the Twenty-Eight Constellations and charged into a group of heavenly soldiers, like a tiger among sheep. With a single sword strike, he slaughtered tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers.
When Ji Meng left, the Twenty-Eight Constellations all breathed a sigh of relief. They thought that with one less opponent, things would be much easier from now on.
But the result left them somewhat dumbfounded.
Bai Ze, the Demon Saint, and Ying Zhao applied a little more force to them, and they already felt they couldn't handle it.
"Why are we still struggling even though they're down to one person? Could it be that they were holding back before? This is their true strength now..."
Amidst the self-doubt of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the battle between the Demon-Subduing Grand Marshal Yuan Zhen and the Great Sage Kui Long has already been decided.
Suddenly, the Demon-Subduing Grand Marshal withdrew and retreated several miles away. Then, he raised his sleeve, and a golden light shot out.
The Great Marshal of Subduing Demons is able to subdue demons and eliminate evil spirits, mainly relying on the Three Treasures of Subduing Demons.
The first is the Demon-Slaying Sword, the second is the Demon-Subduing Pestle, and the third is the Demon-Suppressing Seal.
At this moment, he unleashed the Vajra Pestle.
The Vajra Pestle, enveloped in a burst of golden light, shot towards them. Although the Great Sage Kuilong was unaware of the treasure's true nature, he dared not let it hit him. He pointed his spear, and the tip of the spear struck the Vajra Pestle with unparalleled accuracy.
With a clang.
The Vajra Pestle flew backward, and even though the Great Sage Kuilong was confident that his arms had the strength of a million catties, he was forced to retreat several steps.
However, before he could regain his footing, a Demon-Suppressing Seal appeared above his head and suddenly transformed into a streak of golden light, crashing down heavily.
Its speed was as fast as thunder, as fast as lightning, and the Demon-Suppressing Seal had already landed on his head.
At the critical moment, he only had time to slightly turn his body to avoid a fatal blow to his head, but he was still struck on the shoulder by the Demon-Suppressing Seal.
"Um!"
Kui Long Da Sheng cried out in pain, his body staggering. If he hadn't cultivated a powerful physical body, he would probably have already turned into a pile of minced meat.
Even so, he was in no good shape at this moment. Not only were the bones in his shoulders shattered, but he also nearly fell headfirst from the sky.
The Grand Marshal of Subduing Demons, seizing the opportunity, raised his hand and threw out the Demon-Slaying Sword in his palm, which transformed into a streak of cold light and shot straight towards the Great Sage Kuilong.
"Bah! You actually used a magical treasure to launch a sneak attack, you are truly unworthy of being called a son."
Kui Long the Great Sage dodged the sword, glared fiercely at the Demon-Subduing Grand Marshal, turned and transformed into light, retreating back to the rear.
Although he was unwilling, he knew that with his shoulder injured, continuing to fight would not bring him any advantage, so he could only withdraw temporarily.
The Grand Marshal of Subduing Demons was about to give chase, but after taking only two steps, he was stopped by some fearless demons.
Back at the rear, he ordered his men to bring two golden pills. He swallowed one of them, then ordered someone to bring a bowl of water. He put the remaining golden pill into the bowl and dissolved it, turning it into a bowl of clear, misty liquid, which he then applied to his shoulder.
In just a split second, the injury on his shoulder was completely healed...
After his injuries improved, he casually built a tall platform. Standing on the platform, he looked around the arena and realized that his side was clearly losing ground. If they continued to fight, they might not only suffer heavy casualties, but also suffer a crushing defeat.
So he hurriedly ordered people to condense clouds in the sky as a foundation, then set up a camp and a protective formation.
Then he looked into the arena and saw that the demons were being defeated by the heavenly soldiers and generals, with countless corpses falling from the sky.
Once they fall into the layer of gale-force winds and thunder-fire, they are either blown into dust by the gale-force winds or struck into ashes by the thunder-fire.
He immediately ordered the bell to be rung to signal the troops to return to camp.
Upon hearing the bell tolling from behind, the demons immediately knew that King Kuilong was summoning them to retreat to their camp.
They were already feeling the pressure to the limit, and now they felt as if they had been granted a pardon. Led by their respective officers, they slowly retreated while resisting the attacks of the heavenly soldiers and generals.
This also shows that they are well-trained and able to maintain order during their retreat.
Otherwise, if it were some rabble, they would have scattered like birds and beasts long ago upon hearing the order to retreat.
Of course, the reason these demon soldiers were so disciplined was largely due to the secret training that Bai Ze, the demon saint, had given to Kui Long, the great saint.
When they retreated to the front of the camp, the Great Sage Kuilong led tens of thousands of demon soldiers out of the camp, each throwing out a ball of lightning, which fell like raindrops among the heavenly soldiers and generals.
Rumble...
The lightning ball exploded, throwing the Heavenly Court into chaos. They could no longer afford to continue pursuing the demons.
After the generals calmed the chaotic heavenly soldiers and restored their formation, the demon soldiers had already taken the opportunity to escape their pursuit and, with the help of the Great Sage Kuilong, retreated into their camp.
Then, the Great Sage Kuilong ordered his men to close the camp gates and hang up a sign of truce outside.
Seeing that the opposing camp was already shrouded in a protective array and that the enemy had raised a sign of truce, the Grand Marshal of Subduing Demons ordered a halt to the pursuit and set up camp several miles away from the enemy.
Kui Long, the Great Sage, sat down in the central command tent and ordered his demon generals to go out and check the casualties of their respective troops.
After a long while, the demon generals returned and reported a series of numbers.
After calculating, the Great Sage Kuilong realized that in just the first battle, their demon race had lost nearly 10% of their forces, which made him feel extremely distressed.
Although he knew that he had suffered so many losses, the number of casualties on the other side was probably no less.
However, how could their strength compare to that of the Heavenly Court?
They had already mobilized their entire forces, yet they had only managed to gather a few hundred thousand demon soldiers. Although the Heavenly Court had also dispatched a million troops, he believed that this was not the limit of the Heavenly Court's strength, and the other side could send reinforcements at any time.
Therefore, even if it meant exchanging the lives of his men with the Heavenly Court on a one-to-one basis, it would still be extremely unprofitable for the demon race.
They absolutely cannot afford to expend resources in a war of attrition...
While feeling distressed about the losses, the Great Sage Kuilong ordered his demon generals to set up camp and appease his demon soldiers.
Soon, camps rose from the clouds in the rear, connecting with the camps previously established by the Great Sage Kuilong, stretching for thousands of miles.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Court also had a fortified camp, twice the size of the demon race's camp...
After setting up camp, both sides rested for a night.
The next morning.
The Grand Marshal of Subduing Demons ordered his men to arrive in front of the demon camp and begin to loudly challenge them.
Demon race.
Inside the central command tent, a group of demon generals sat solemnly, with the Great Sage Kui Long, seated in the main seat, looking grim.
The atmosphere inside the military tent was somber and oppressive.
A moment later, a demon soldier came in to report that the Heavenly Court was challenging them outside.
Kui Long the Great Sage said he understood and then ordered his men to leave.
Next, he glanced around, his gaze finally settling on Bai Ze Demon Saint's face...
