A black demonic claw materialized, carrying the power to tear through space.
The other was a barrage of black spikes that rained down on Xiao Chen, clearly intended to kill him in one fell swoop and save time.
Xiao Chen sensed the terrifying power contained in the two martial arts techniques, his heart sank, and a frantic urge to retreat surged within him.
"We can't stop them! We absolutely can't stop them!"
But looking at his companions behind him, he knew that if he retreated now, not only would he be hunted down, but he would also implicate the others. So he had no choice but to grit his teeth and concentrate all his gun intent on the rusty iron spear to try to defend himself.
Just at this critical moment, a dazzling sword light suddenly flew out from inside Wangyue Gate City!
The sword light was like a shooting star slicing through the darkness, moving at incredible speed, and instantly reached Xiao Chen.
With a clang, it struck the black demonic claw precisely, instantly shattering it; then...
The sword light transformed into a barrier, blocking all the black spikes in the sky. The spikes landed on the barrier and disappeared instantly, like mud oxen sinking into the sea.
Not only that, the sword light, still carrying a fierce aura, slashed fiercely at the two demons!
The two demons' expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly circulated their demonic energy to defend themselves, but they were still forced to retreat by the sword light. Black blood spilled from the corners of their mouths, and their eyes were filled with horror.
"who?!"
The two shouted in disbelief, the power contained in the sword light making them feel a deadly threat!
Everyone on the battlefield stopped in their tracks at the sudden appearance of the sword light, their eyes turning in unison to look in the direction from which it had come.
What was originally a certain death situation was instantly put on hold by this sword.
Two figures were seen flying rapidly from inside the Wangyue Gate city.
A figure in red robes stood ahead, his face resolute, his eyes sharp as swords, and he held a long sword in his hand—the very person who had just unleashed the sword light.
Behind them was a figure dressed as a Confucian scholar, holding a yellowed book. He had a gentle and refined demeanor, yet also exuded an air of elegance.
As the two approached, Xiao Chen recognized their faces, and his eyes lit up with surprise. He exclaimed, "Junior Sister! Junior Brother!"
Stone stopped his charge, looking at the girl in red and the scholar with excitement on his face, waving his fist and shouting, "Senior Sister! Third Senior Brother! What brings you here!"
The visitors were none other than Jiang Li and Su She!
Jiang Li landed beside Xiao Chen, sheathed her longsword, nodded to him, and spoke with a hint of concern.
"Senior brother, we received a message from Master that you were in danger in Sunlight City, so we rushed here immediately. Fortunately, we made it in time."
Su She walked over to Shi Tou and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Junior Brother Shi Tou, don't worry, with us here, these demons can't cause any trouble."
Looking at the two of them, Xiao Chen was overwhelmed with excitement. He had just been thinking about his junior sister and junior brother whom he had not yet met.
Unexpectedly, in this seemingly hopeless situation, they appeared as if from the heavens, instantly turning the tide of the battle!
Lin Jingxing, Luo Qingyang, and Bai Xi looked at Jiang Li and Su She who had suddenly appeared, their eyes filled with doubt, but they also breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of who these two are, their ability to repel two peak-level Creation Realm demons with a single sword strike must indicate immense strength. With their addition, there might truly be a glimmer of hope.
The ten demons in the air looked at Jiang Li and Su She with faces so gloomy they could drip water.
The demon leader stared intently at the longsword in Jiang Li's hand, his tone icy: "Where did this human junior come from, daring to interfere in the affairs of my demon race?"
Jiang Li raised her head, looking at him coldly, her tone filled with disdain: "You demon wretch, how dare you be so insolent before me? Today, I will let you taste the feeling of death!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her aura suddenly surged, revealing that she was also at the peak of the Creation Realm!
Su She also put away his book, and a faint golden light emanated from his body. His aura was actually comparable to that of a cultivator who had reached the late stage of the Creation Realm. Although he was slightly inferior to Jiang Li, he was not to be underestimated.
Looking at their cultivation levels, Xiao Chen was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that his junior sister and junior brother's strength would improve so quickly after being separated for so long!
The mockery on the faces of the ten demons vanished as they looked at the two powerful figures who had suddenly appeared, replaced by solemnity.
They originally thought victory was assured, but they didn't expect these two unexpected variables to suddenly appear, making the battle situation unpredictable.
Jiang Li turned to look at Xiao Chen and said in a deep voice, "Senior brother, you, Shi Tou, and Brother Lin should join forces to restrain the other demons. I'll take care of the leader!"
Su She also said, "I'll help you. Let's deal with them as soon as possible, lest things get complicated!"
Xiao Chen nodded, his fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes: "Alright! Junior sister, junior brother, be careful!"
Stone, even more eager for a fight, roared at the demons, "It's time to settle the score from earlier!"
Seeing the blank expressions on Lin Jingxing, Luo Qingyang, and the others' faces, Xiao Chen knew they didn't recognize Jiang Li and Su She.
But the battle situation was critical, and there was no time to explain in detail. He could only say hastily, "These are my junior sister Jiang Li and junior brother Su She. Let's deal with the demons first, and we'll talk about it later!"
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Li had already drawn her longsword and charged straight towards the four peak-stage Creation Realm demons.
She was going to fight four against one! Her red clothes fluttered in the wind, her eyes were sharp as a blade, and she was surrounded by sword energy, showing no fear whatsoever.
"Are you crazy? One person fighting four peak-stage Creation Realm cultivators?"
"Who is this girl? She's incredibly strong!"
The surviving cultivators on the city wall gasped in astonishment at the sight, their exclamations rising and falling.
Just now, ten peak-stage Creation Realm demons had overwhelmed them, making it hard for them to breathe. Now, someone actually dared to take on four opponents single-handedly. This courage and strength are simply unbelievable.
Lin Jingxing and Luo Qingyang exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
They then gripped their weapons and charged toward the remaining demons. With Jiang Li and Su She sharing the burden, they were now able to put up a fight.
Jiang Li charged towards the four demons, advancing instead of retreating. She gripped her longsword horizontally, twisted her wrist, and uttered a soft shout.
"Sweep Across the Fiery Wilderness!"
As soon as the words fell, the longsword was swung out, and countless blazing sword energies, like sparks from fireflies, wildly spread from the blade.
It formed a huge fan-shaped attack range, enveloping the four demons.
The sword energy carried a blinding red light and was incredibly hot. Wherever it passed, the air was scorched and distorted, and a seductive whisper could be faintly heard.
The four demons' expressions changed, and they hurriedly circulated their demonic energy to defend themselves. They brandished bone knives and bone staffs, and black demonic energy condensed into barriers.
However, Jiang Li's sword energy was not only scorching hot, but also carried a power to confuse the mind. As soon as they made contact, the four demons felt restless and their movements slowed down.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sword energy struck the demonic energy barrier, producing a series of booming sounds, and the black barrier was instantly covered with cracks.
One of the demons was caught off guard and was grazed on the shoulder by a sword aura. His scales were instantly burned through, black blood splattered, and he roared in pain.
"There's something strange about this sword energy!"
