As the Grand Preceptor of the Underworld Cult approached, several leading sect masters, elders, the Bottomless Old Mother, Hu San Tai Nai, and other demon immortals who were at the forefront immediately launched their attacks.
"Die!"
"Roar!"
"..."
In an instant, various talismans, magical artifacts, and demonic arts were hurled at the Grand Preceptor.
The Grand Preceptor was indeed powerful, there was no doubt about that.
However, he had not reached the Human King realm; he was merely skilled in formations and sacrifices.
Facing the combined assault of multiple powerful beings, the Grand Preceptor was killed on the spot, his soul scattered, almost in the blink of an eye.
Hu San Tai Nai, the Bottomless Old Mother, and others immediately rushed towards the altar, preparing to slay the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor, filled with resentment and unwillingness, could only let out a roar and charge down to engage with the masses.
"Damn it, you've ruined my plan for ascension. I will slaughter all of you."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Waves of spiritual energy erupted, demonic light surged towards the sky, and the battle was incredibly fierce.
Meanwhile, I, supporting Qing Dai and Master:
"Qing Dai, Master!"
"Your Master is fine. Go quickly and help defeat this fellow."
"I'm also fine. Killing Wang Mang has been my lifelong wish."
Master and Qing Dai both spoke.
With Wang Mang and the Grand Preceptor of the Underworld Cult no longer in control, and with one of the light pillars I had severed, the Demonic Light Array began to collapse.
At this moment, I no longer hesitated.
Picking up Master's Ghost King Saber, I charged out.
At this time, Wang Mang was fighting one hundred to one, facing the siege of numerous Daoist cultivators. Not only was he not at a disadvantage, but he even held the upper hand.
He had absorbed a significant amount of our luck and cultivation, his strength reaching the Half-Step Void God realm.
In this era of declining magic, the Human King realm was already rare.
In the past hundred years, only True Man Cang Song had reached this realm among humans.
The others were demonic cultivators and ghost cultivators like Qing Dai who had cultivated for thousands of years.
Furthermore, after the great battle, and having been trapped in the Demonic Light Array earlier, we had lost too much spiritual energy.
Even with our superior numbers, if we were not careful, we could truly be annihilated by him alone.
However, fortunately, I had also reached the Human King realm.
Combined with the Ghost King Saber, and my cultivation of Yin-Yang two energies, along with everyone else, I still had the strength to fight.
I leaped into the air, activating the Qian Kun True Method, pushing my cultivation to its peak.
Simultaneously, I channeled the Yin-Yang two energies and unleashed a saber strike towards the besieged Demon Emperor.
"Accept your death, Wang Mang."
"Boom!"
With this saber strike, even the Half-Step Void God realm Wang Mang could only retreat several steps, unwilling to face it head-on.
At this moment, I felt as if I had been injected with adrenaline. The moment I landed, I began a fierce assault on Wang Mang.
The Bottomless Old Mother and Hu San Tai Nai attacked from the sides, while the large group of people surrounded them, occasionally releasing talismans and magical artifacts to cheer us on or launch sneak attacks.
Yet, even with three of us in the Human King realm, with the Bottomless Old Mother at the mid-Human King stage, we were still unable to suppress the Demon Emperor.
He wielded a great sword of black mist, his attacks exceptionally sharp.
But at this moment, True Man Cang Song charged forward.
However, True Man Cang Song's face was now covered in runes, and blood was flowing from the corners of his eyes.
It was obvious without even thinking that True Man Cang Song had employed a secret technique.
Otherwise, in his weakened state, he would certainly not be able to unleash his current combat power.
True Man Cang Song's cultivation was also at the mid-Human King stage, representing the peak combat ability.
Now, with four of us fighting one, plus the assistance of hundreds of cultivators, we could only fight him to a draw.
The Demon Emperor, at this moment, let out another roar:
"I failed once in Kunyang.
I will not fail again here in Black Demon Valley."
"Ah!"
He roared and swung his sword down.
The surging demonic energy directly split the massive altar in half.
Even several fellow cultivators were affected and injured.
But at this very moment, the sound of horse hooves echoed.
Qing Dai, leading the remaining eighty elite royal guards, charged towards the Demon Emperor Wang Mang.
Qing Dai, clad in white armor and wielding a long sword:
"Kill!"
The military formation charged forward. Wang Mang looked at Qing Dai and roared,
"Die, Nine Saints."
"Boom!"
With another sword strike, this one suppressed Qing Dai, and the twenty-odd ghost soldiers behind her were instantly annihilated.
The remaining cavalry were also sent flying.
However, I saw his opening.
The Yin-Yang Two Orbs flew out with a "whoosh."
The stronger the cultivation, the greater the power these two orbs released.
Like two fireballs, they shot directly at Wang Mang.
Wang Mang raised his hand to block. With two "bangs," he swept the Yin-Yang Two Orbs away. Before he could stabilize himself, cultivators from all directions hurled talismans and magical artifacts.
Qiu Xi shot steel needles, Martial Uncle unleashed lightning arts, and Xiao Yao produced a treasure mirror to shine.
In an instant, flying swords, talismans, golden mirrors, and the like all struck Wang Mang.
Old Mo, at this moment, unleashed the Four Spirits Curse.
Terrifying death energy surged, and soul-hooking chains flew out with a "clatter," directly targeting the Demon Emperor Wang Mang.
This Four Spirits Curse was terrifyingly powerful; against ordinary ghosts, it was a "crunch, crunch" massacre.
The surrounding crowd gasped in shock upon seeing this.
But against Wang Mang now, it didn't seem as prominent.
This was a Half-Step Void God realm expert, the peak combat power of the mortal realm.
Even the Four Ghost Messengers, the魑魅魍魉, might not be able to defeat him.
The result was predictable; the four soul-hooking ropes were broken in just a few blows.
Wang Mang's might stunned everyone.
But even ants can gnaw down an elephant.
Even though Wang Mang evaded the four soul-hooking ropes, the combined attack of so many magical artifacts and talismans still caused him significant strain.
Even a stream of talisman light unleashed by the Mao Shan sect leader, Bai Zhongzi, managed to injure Wang Mang.
Causing him to let out a cry of pain.
"Ah!"
He staggered backward repeatedly.
He attempted to break through the encirclement and began to dodge.
But True Man Cang Song, Hu San Tai Nai, and the Bottomless Old Mother attacked him from three sides.
The Demon Emperor Wang Mang roared and struck left and right.
And I, too, followed suit and unleashed the Four Spirits Curse.
"Hasten as the law commands,敕!"
Death qi permeated the air, and four iron chains appeared with a "clatter," targeting Wang Mang.
Along with Hu San Tai Nai and others, two of them managed to bind him.
We thought we had succeeded and didn't have time to rejoice.
Wang Mang roared and instantly shattered the soul-hooking iron chains.
He even kicked the Bottomless Old Mother away and stabbed the Bottomless Old Mother with his sword.
However, due to the continuous attacks, the Demon Emperor Wang Mang was also struggling to cope.
At this moment, he was ensnared by the tail of the Bottomless Old Mother.
Hu San Tai Nai exhaled a fox's breath, activating her innate ability, the demon art "Charm."
The Demon Emperor Wang Mang was instantly dazed.
True Man Cang Song immediately followed up with a sword strike, piercing his abdomen.
"Ah!"
The Demon Emperor screamed, and with a downward sword strike,
True Man Cang Song had his arm severed.
When performing the Four Spirits Curse at the Human King realm, the backlash was no longer as severe.
I could still fight.
Seizing the opportunity, I charged forward, leaped into the air, and thrust my sword into his chest:
"Die!"
"Ah!"
Wang Mang cried out in pain again.
"Get out of my way!"
Wang Mang trembled, and terrifying energy erupted.
The few of us were instantly sent flying, rolling more than ten meters on the ground.
We all spat up blood, severely injured...
But at the same time, the remaining Western Han elite royal guards charged out.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," they stabbed at the Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor raised his sword and killed more than ten ghost soldiers in a single exchange.
However, following the ghost soldiers was Qing Dai.
Qing Dai, with a sword in mid-air, pointed directly at Wang Mang.
"Rebel!"
Wang Mang could no longer evade and raised his sword to stab at Qing Dai.
"Come on!"
"Whoosh, whoosh."
Sword light flashed, and terrifying spiritual energy vibrated, forcing everyone around to retreat.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," the spiritual wind vibrated, stirring up a gust of wind.
And after the storm, everyone was astonished to discover.
The two of them had simultaneously pierced each other's bodies.
"Qing Dai!"
My face changed drastically, and I roared maniacally.
Instantly, I scrambled to my feet, grabbed the Ghost King Saber, and disregarding my injuries, charged forward again...
