Black blood gushed out, the demon's body froze on the spot, his eyes filled with disbelief, before he collapsed heavily, completely lifeless.
The remaining three demons panicked completely. They finally realized that the red-clad girl in front of them was not someone they could underestimate!
Her swordsmanship was not only fast, but also terrifyingly penetrating. Even those with thick skin could not withstand being pierced through time and time again!
"There's something wrong with this girl's sword! Quickly set up a defensive formation!"
The leader of the demons roared, trying to reassemble the demonic energy array, but was interrupted by Jiang Li.
Jiang Li moved leisurely among the three demons, her longsword thrusting rapidly, alternating between Meteor Chasing the Moon and a flash of cold light. As the cold light flickered, the three demons sustained more and more wounds.
Their once-proud physical bodies were as fragile as paper under Jiang Li's sword. Every time the sword light grazed them, it left a deep wound that exposed the bone.
"Don't hide! Fight her!"
Driven to desperation, one of the demons abandoned his defenses and swung his bone knife at Jiang Li.
But as soon as he got close, Jiang Li's longsword pierced his heart. The cold light penetrated his body, carrying a scorching power that instantly shattered his soul core.
In a short while, Jiang Li killed two of the four demons. The remaining two were exhausted, their bodies covered in wounds, their scales stained with black blood, and they were no longer as arrogant as before.
They looked at Jiang Li's figure, which resembled a god of death, and their eyes were filled with fear. They only wanted to escape the battlefield as soon as possible.
"Trying to run now? Too late!"
Jiang Li gave a cold shout, her figure moving like lightning as she caught up with one of the demons. Her longsword pierced through his back, the cold light penetrating his chest. The demon screamed and fell to the ground.
The last demon was terrified upon seeing this and turned to try and escape into the black mist.
Jiang Li gave him no chance, throwing her longsword, which transformed into a cold glint that precisely pierced his knee.
The demon screamed and fell to the ground. Jiang Li slowly stepped forward, her long sword pressed against his neck, her eyes icy: "Speak! When will your main force of the demon race arrive?"
The demon, seeing the longsword pressed against his neck and feeling its intense heat and sharpness, dared not hide it any longer.
He said, trembling, "The...the main force will arrive in three days...the leader said we must take down Sunlight City in one fell swoop..."
A hint of seriousness flashed in Jiang Li's eyes. Then, she exerted force with her wrist, and the longsword slashed through the air, causing the demon's head to fall to the ground.
She sheathed her longsword, turned around and looked at the battlefield where Xiao Chen and the others were fighting. The battle there was also nearing its end, with only a few scattered demons still putting up a last-ditch resistance.
Jiang Li took a deep breath, her figure blurred, and she flew towards Xiao Chen, wanting to provide support.
Meanwhile, the cultivators on the city wall were stunned by Jiang Li's heroic figure as she slew four demons. After a long while, they finally erupted into a deafening cheer.
In this battle, they not only defended the Moon Gazing Gate, but also killed many peak-level demons, greatly dampening the demons' morale!
With the last demon falling in a pool of blood, the battle in front of Wangyue Gate finally came to an end.
Seeing their leader dead, the remaining demon soldiers had lost all will to fight and fled like stray dogs towards the plains outside the city.
The black demonic energy gradually dissipated into the air as the demonic soldiers retreated, revealing the originally clear sky.
On the city wall, the surviving cultivators collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, but their faces were filled with the joy of surviving a calamity.
The battle just now was too dangerous. If Jiang Li and Su She hadn't appeared in time, they would probably have become food for the demons.
Xiao Chen, Shi Tou, and the others also put away their weapons and began to recuperate. After continuous fierce fighting, they were already extremely exhausted.
Jiang Li's red clothes were stained with a lot of black blood, and Su She's books were slightly yellowed, clearly showing that he had also put a lot of effort into them.
"Finally... it's over."
Lin Jingxing leaned against the city wall, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He watched the demon soldiers gradually disappear into the distance outside the city, his heart filled with emotion.
He turned to look at Xiao Chen, his eyes filled with gratitude, "Brother Xiao, we really owe a lot to your junior brothers and sisters this time, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to hold on."
Xiao Chen smiled and was about to speak when he saw a figure staggering towards him from afar—it was Lu Mingyuan!
His left arm hung limply, clearly injured. His face was pale, and his breathing was much weaker than before. It was obvious that the battle with the demon leader had cost him a great deal.
"Senior Lu!" Xiao Chen and the others hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Lu Mingyuan landed on the ground, catching his breath. His gaze swept across the battlefield, and when he saw the corpses of demons scattered everywhere, especially the bodies of several demons at the peak of the Creation Realm, his expression instantly changed: "This...you guys took care of all of this?"
When he left, he left Xiao Chen and the others to face five Creation Realm demons.
I thought I would see a terrible battle when I returned, but I didn't expect to kill so many high-level demons, and even several corpses of peak Creation Realm cultivators.
Lin Jingxing quickly relayed the situation: "Senior Lu, after you left, the Demon Clan sent ten more peak-level experts. We were already in dire straits, but fortunately, Brother Xiao's junior sister Jiang Li and junior brother Su She arrived in time and turned the tide of the battle."
"Ten peak Creation Realm experts?!" Lu Mingyuan's pupils constricted sharply as he stared at Xiao Chen, a cold sweat instantly breaking out on his back.
He had just fought a near-death experience against a demon at the peak of the Creation Realm, and his arm was seriously injured. If he were to face ten of them, even if he had ten times the courage, he would have absolutely no chance of winning!
“That’s right.” Xiao Chen nodded, pointing to Jiang Li and Su She, “These two are my junior sister Jiang Li and junior brother Su She. It was they who took action, fighting against four peak-level Creation Realm demons by themselves, and helped us stabilize the situation.”
Lu Mingyuan's gaze immediately fell on Jiang Li and Su She, carefully examining their cultivation levels.
Jiang Li was only at the late stage of the Creation Realm, and Su She was a Confucian scholar. Yet these two cultivators, whose cultivation levels were even lower than his, were able to fight against four peak Creation Realm demons and successfully kill several of them!
A storm raged within him, and he couldn't help but ask, "Young friends... may I ask which sect you belong to? Is there such a powerful force in the Xuanqiong Realm that can cultivate geniuses like you?"
It should be understood that even among the top forces in the Xuanqiong Realm, large families like the Lin family and the Liuyun Dao Sect would find it difficult to cultivate a genius capable of fighting four peak Creation Realm experts while only at the late Creation Realm level.
Not to mention that Su She, at the mid-stage of the Creation Realm, could crush a demon at the peak of the Creation Realm. Such strength had already exceeded the comprehension of the Xuanqiong Realm.
Jiang Li and Su She exchanged a glance and said with a smile, "We are disciples of the Qingyun Sect, and our master's name is Lin Zhou."
"Qingyun Sect?" Lu Mingyuan frowned, quickly searching his memory for the name of this sect, but he had no recollection of it.
"There doesn't seem to be such a force in the Xuanqiong Realm, right? Is it a recently risen sect?"
Xiao Chen explained, "Our Qingyun Sect is not a force from the Xuanqiong Realm, but comes from another realm. We came here for two reasons: first, to support the Xuanqiong Realm in resisting the demons, and second, to gain experience."
