On the ground, Xiao Chen and the others heard the conversation in the air clearly and were all shocked. They never expected that behind this demon invasion, there was such a story of love and hate.
"Senior Brother, this Xuan Yin is so pitiful..." Shi Tou couldn't help but say, but quickly shook his head, "But he betrayed us and killed so many people, that's too much!"
Xiao Chen nodded, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes: "Hatred is understandable, but it cannot be a reason to harm the innocent."
"But it's none of our business."
"What we need to do now is to guard the Moon Gazing Gate and prevent the demon soldiers from setting foot in the city. As for the battle in the air, we can only rely on Senior Lin Zhen."
As soon as he finished speaking, he gripped his rusty iron spear and thrust it towards the charging demon soldiers. The spear's power surged, instantly piercing the chests of several demon soldiers.
Jiang Li, Su She, and Lin Jingxing also attacked simultaneously, their sword light, talent, and flames intertwining to build a solid defensive line beneath the city gate.
The battle in Sunshine City grew increasingly fierce. In the air, the fight between Lin Zhen and Xuan Yin gripped the hearts of everyone.
On the ground, demonic soldiers surged like a tidal wave, while human cultivators fought valiantly, risking their lives to protect the city and their people behind them.
On the battlefield of Sunlight City, amidst the clang of metal and the roars of battle, the clash of Xiao Chen's four brothers became the most dazzling presence.
Xiao Chen held a rusty iron spear, its spear intent swirling like a dragon. Each thrust carried an unstoppable sharpness, the spear tip leaving no trace in its wake.
The demon's scales were pierced as easily as paper, black blood splattering everywhere; Jiang Li's longsword transformed into points of cold light, her Yinghuo Sword Qi and Meteor Chasing the Moon techniques alternating, the sword light flashing past...
The demon was left with a deep, bone-revealing wound, and the scorching sword energy further burned their demonic power.
Stone, bare-handed, his body surging with pale golden blood energy, his muscles bulging, charged forward like an iron tower, a single punch capable of shattering a demon's bone spear, his physical body able to withstand demonic attacks without sustaining any damage.
Su She stood in the center, his body surrounded by layers of golden energy that formed protective shields, upon which flowed "righteous spirit."
The inscriptions of poems such as "Peace and Prosperity for the Nation" not only kept the demonic energy out, but also occasionally sent out golden characters that shot towards the demons like sharp blades, each character carrying the power to restrain evil.
Although the four did not deliberately coordinate, they formed a tacit understanding of offense and defense, with Xiao Chen and Jiang Li taking the lead in the attack, while Shi Tou withstood the pressure head-on.
Su She provided a strong defense, and the twenty-odd Creation Realm demons surrounded them for a long time, but they couldn't even touch the hem of one of their clothes. Instead, five or six of their own kind were killed.
"Such incredible talent!"
In mid-air, Xuan Yin was watching Lin Zhen's movements, but his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the battle below.
He glanced at the age and combat strength of Xiao Chen and his companions, a hint of jealousy and killing intent flashing in his eyes.
These four people are even more amazing than he was at his peak. If they are allowed to grow, they will become a major threat to the demon race in the future, and may even become an obstacle on his path to revenge!
Xuan Yin ultimately did not act rashly. He knew very well that he and Lin Zhen were both at the Nirvana Realm, and if they made a move, they would inevitably open up a new battlefield; otherwise, the aftershocks of the battle would be enough to kill all the geniuses and demon soldiers below.
Now he has to take charge of the Demon Clan's overall situation and also restrain Lin Zhen; he absolutely cannot afford to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains.
"Since we can't take action ourselves, let them die amidst the corpses of their own kind!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Xuan Yin's eyes as he transmitted his voice to the demon commander below, "Reinforce the troops! Regardless of the cost, surround and kill those four human brats! Even if you have to pile up corpses, you must kill them!"
Upon receiving the order, the demon commander immediately mobilized his troops. The Creation Realm demons, who had been scattered across other battle zones, surged towards Xiao Chen and his companions.
In the blink of an eye, the number of demons surrounding them increased from twenty-odd to more than thirty!
Even more terrifying, these demons deliberately spread out, weaving a large net with demonic energy to completely separate Xiao Chen and his companions from the other human cultivators.
The allied forces that could have been vaguely responding to each other were now isolated by demonic energy and demonic soldiers, and not even a shadow of them could be seen.
"Oh no! Brother Xiao and the others are surrounded!"
Lin Jingxing saw this scene from a short distance away and was extremely anxious. He was about to rush over to help when he was entangled by two Creation Realm demons. Their bone knives and bone spears blocked his retreat, making it impossible for him to escape.
Lu Mingyuan on the city wall also noticed the predicament of Xiao Chen and his companions. He fought desperately to kill the demons in front of him, trying to break through and provide support, but the demon soldiers around him surged like a tide, and three demons at the Creation Realm were specifically watching him, making it difficult for him to move an inch.
Not only them, but all the human cultivators who noticed Xiao Chen and his companions' predicament wanted to rush to their aid, but without exception, they were all held back by the demons.
Clearly, the demons had already made preparations to isolate these four exceptionally talented human prodigies and kill them one by one!
"Damn it! There are so many bastards!" Stone punched the demon in front of him, sending it flying. Looking at the increasing number of enemies around him, he couldn't help but roar.
His blood aura grew increasingly dense, and his Nine Nether Demon God Body fully erupted. Faint black demonic patterns appeared on his skin, and his strength and defense increased even further. However, facing a gauntlet of more than thirty Creation Realm demons, his breathing gradually became rapid.
Xiao Chen's situation was also not optimistic. Although his spear intent was strong, it required a lot of spiritual energy. After fighting for so long, more than half of his spiritual energy had been used up, and his cyan spear intent had dimmed a bit compared to before.
He had just pierced the heart of a demon when a black demonic aura attacked from behind. Fortunately, Jiang Li blocked it with her sword in time, allowing him to escape a fatal blow.
"Senior brother, be careful!" Jiang Li's red clothes were already stained with a lot of black blood, some from demons and some from her own blood.
Just now, in order to shield Xiao Chen from the attack, her shoulder was grazed by demonic energy. Although she was protected by sword energy, she was still burned and was in a throbbing pain.
Su She was under the most pressure. Although his talent shield could defend himself, it required a constant infusion of talent to maintain.
More than thirty demons simultaneously unleashed their demonic energy to attack the shield. The poems and runes on the shield began to flicker, and the golden light gradually dimmed. With each line of poetry he uttered, his face grew paler, clearly indicating that he had reached his limit.
"Hold on, everyone!" Xiao Chen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his exhaustion, and slammed his rusty iron spear into the ground.
The azure spear intent erupted like a volcano, forming a massive spear shadow that forced the surrounding demons back several steps. "Su She, help everyone stabilize their breathing! Jiang Li, attack from both sides with me! Shi Tou, break through from the front and tear an opening!"
"Okay!" the three replied in unison.
Su She immediately closed his eyes and recited: "There will be times when the wind will break the waves, and I will set sail to cross the vast ocean!"
The golden energy surged instantly, the runes on the light shield lit up again, and a "Long Wind" poetic shadow flew out, sweeping towards the demons like a hurricane, temporarily disrupting their attack rhythm.
