Chapter 54: Overwhelming
“Hold him back.”
“As long as we restrain him, he’s dead.” The two demon lieutenant commanders commanded as the demons under them charged forward fearlessly. Five avian demons swooped down from the sky.
ng Chuan also felt pressure.
These two demon lieutenant commanders. One of them can release their demonic aura while the other has condensed a demon core. ng Chuan imdiately determined his opponents’ strength through his perception. There are also 19 greater demons and 176 lesser demons. As long as a demon restrains , a horde of demons will imdiately rush over. The two lieutenant commanders will then kill .
Although I’m stronger than the two demon lieutenant commanders, my strength is limited. Once I’m restrained, I will be torn apart.
This was the battlefield. A large group of demons lunged at him. If not for his sensory domain, he would have long dodged the demon army.
“Kill!” Although he felt a little wistful, his speed did not slow down. Compared to experts in the sa realm, he was very good at dealing with group attacks. He could even make his enemies hit themselves!
ng Chuan unleashed terrifying speed, transforming into a blur and charged towards one of the demons in the group.
“He isn’t dodging and instead charged over?”
“Stop him.”
“Quick!”
These two hundred demons were sowhat scattered and had yet to completely surround him before ng Chuan took the initiative to attack.
You’re too slow. As ng Chuan rushed forward, he unsheathed his saber, and the blade lit up.
With one saber beam, three demons were sliced apart. The saber beams flashed again and again.
He charged straight towards the black bear demon Commander. Several saber beams flashed, and the 30 demons that barely managed to gather around him were easily culled. A single saber beam was about twenty to thirty feet long. It sliced the demons into two. This left the other demons—who were prepared to pounce over—shuddering in fear. Even their charging speed slowed down.
He sensed the demons charging towards him as he swung his saber repeatedly; his speed could not help but slow down.
“Make way.” Two demon lieutenant commanders charged over. One was a spider demoness, while the other was a goat demon.
The spider demoness was faster. She had six arms that each held a scimitar. She was the first to reach fifty feet within ng Chuan. Without warning, she opened her mouth, and a white spider web flew out, enveloping ng Chuan. The distance was too close, and its speed was too fast.
However, having been forged in the crucible of arrow volleys, ng Chuan’s reaction speed had been honed to new heights. Besides, everything within a hundred feet was within his sensory domain! The mont the spider demoness opened her mouth, ng Chuan was imdiately prepared.
His figure vanished.
The white spider web only covered two unlucky lesser demons. The two lesser demons wailed in pain as they rapidly turned into at paste as they were pinned to the ground by the spider web. When the spider demoness saw her killer move dodged, she was sowhat indignant.
“Kill!” ng Chuan used his movent technique and attacked the two demon lieutenant commanders.
The spider demoness brandished her scimitars. and instantly, a slew of saber slashes rained upon ng Chuan. As for the goat demon, he engaged in close combat.
Pfft. Pfft.
ng Chuan moved to a spot between the two demon lieutenant commanders. His control of the situation was very fine. He could see the traces of the two demon lieutenant commanders’ attacks clearly. With a saber beam, one of the spider demoness’ scimitars was redirected towards the goat demon.
What’s going on? The spider demoness and the goat demon were alard. Why were they attacking each other?
They didn’t know that two of the Skydemon Sect’s Eastcalm branch’s leaders had once encountered a similar situation before. However, ng Chuan had only managed to do so by using the Power of the Soul previously. Now, he could accomplish it easily.
Clang! The goat demon imdiately blocked the spider demoness’s attack.
Pfft.
Following the spider demoness’s attack was a silent and gentle slash from ng Chuan.
What? The goat demon’s heart jolted. The saber beam had already reached its neck, and soon, its head flew up.
The goat lieutenant commander was dead.
The spider demoness imdiately thought sothing was amiss, but ng Chuan turned his head and furiously chopped down. This was the first strike of the Five Lightning Descent! It was extrely fast, and lightning was released. The power of the lightning was still very weak, so it would’ve been easily resisted by the spider demoness’s powerful body—not causing any negative effects. However, the terrifying power of that strike made it extrely difficult to block it. Fortunately, the demoness had a total of six arms. The six scimitars were barely able to block it. Even so, an opening was revealed.
The second strike ca with even more speed.
When the spider demoness sensed the danger of death, she imdiately opened her mouth and attempted to spit out another web. Just as her mouth opened, ng Chuan sensed it extrely clearly. At this distance, he didn’t want to have a taste of the spider web. He imbued his second strike with the Power of the Soul, causing the saber beam to move faster by 30 percent. Following the opening the spider demoness revealed, the beam sliced across her neck.
Before the spider demoness could spit out the spider web, her head flew up.
The lieutenant commanders—the goat demon and the spider demoness—died in battle one after another.
The surrounding demons were alard. These two lieutenant commanders were powerful. One was capable of releasing their demonic aura while the other had condensed a demon core. Yet, they were killed in just one or two moves?
I can’t be caught by them. ng Chuan knew very well that he had already used a few tricks.
In terms of strength, he was indeed superior to the two demon lieutenant commanders. However, the strength difference wasn’t ridiculously large. In a one-on-one fight, his opponent would use forbidden techniques. He would’ve then needed two to three moves to kill the goat demon. He would’ve needed ten moves to kill the spider demoness.
However, if he were to engage in a drawn-out battle, he would have long been surrounded by more demons. He needed to seize every opportunity to save Qiyue. Therefore, he had to pass through the demons’ obstructions quickly!
He first used his speed and made them hit each other, then taking the opportunity to kill the goat demon with one strike. Afterward, he used his full strength and fused a wisp of his Power of the Soul into his saber art, thus quickly killing the spider demoness.
Swoosh.
ng Chuan rushed towards the black bear demon commander. He felt the pressure and had sched to finish the two demon lieutenant commanders in quick succession.
However, in the eyes of the surrounding demons, this human was simply too terrifying! First, he wantonly decimated the ordinary demons that surrounded him before killing two demon lieutenant commanders in the blink of an eye. He was so powerful that it was inconceivable for anyone who wasn’t a Godfiend or demon monarch.
“Oh?” The demon lieutenant commanders in the distance noticed the deaths of the goat demon and spider demoness—who had similar strengths as them. They felt threatened.
Furthermore, not only did ng Chuan not choose to escape, but he also rushed towards the black bear demon commander.
“You killed two of my lieutenant commanders?” The black bear demon commander watched from afar. His fifty-foot tall body was a lot taller than the surrounding buildings. His arms were even thicker than ordinary trees, and he stared coldly at the puny human.
“Since he has a death wish, surround him. Don’t let him escape,” said the black bear demon commander. “I want to crush this ant to death.”
“Surround him.”
“Don’t let him escape.”
“Surround him.”
The army that had been charging towards Mirror Lake Dao Academy with all their might stopped under the lieutenant commanders’ orders and began surrounding ng Chuan.
Almost a thousand demons—spread across a region that spanned over half a kiloter—began to surround him. The pressure on ng Chuan was imnse.
ng Chuan’s gaze turned cold.
If they were to reach Mirror Lake Dao Academy, the Dao Academy would really be in big trouble. With the aid of armants, the Dao Academy can still fend off ordinary demons. However, it would be rather difficult for them to face demon lieutenant commanders. If they encountered a demon commander... they would probably need a large number of people to help with the defense. They would need to rely on numbers to make up for the difference in strength.
“Catch him.” The black bear demon commander pointed at the charging ng Chuan.
A hundred demons near the commander pounced over.
“Kill!”
At this mont, ng Chuan drew his saber. He lashed out wildly.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Saber beams that were several dozens of feet long flew out. In the blink of an eye, ng Chuan had swung his saber over a hundred tis.
The saber beams surged towards the demons that pounced at him.
After comprehending Force, he could release Quintessential Energy. After condensing his core, Quintessential Energy would undergo a qualitative change and beco Quintessential Essence. His foundation was even more robust than an expert in the sa realm. His body and Quintessential Essence were several tis stronger! The saber beams ford by Quintessential Essence even drew in the Heaven and Earth powers to form beams that were dozens of feet long! Over 100 dense saber beams flew out, scaring the demons.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft—
The saber beams were too fast. Although the large group of demons fled in panic, they were mostly sliced apart. So demons were cut in half. So saber beams sliced through three demons at once.
In the blink of an eye, over half of the hundred demons died. Only a dozen demons were lucky enough to survive. They were too frightened to charge forward.
My Quintessential Essence has been depleted by half in an instant. I really can’t do this too often. ng Chuan felt his dantian beco much more empty.
