Boom!!!
The sword glow dissipated. The earth-yellow light screen vibrated a few times, and Wan Lei stumbled back a few steps.
This was Earth Thunder!
"Hmph, let's see how many of these swords you can block!"
Liu Naiweng's long sword flew to his front, its tip pointing forward. Immediately, countless sword lights pierced towards Wan Lei.
In mid-air, Liu Naiweng appeared like a machine gun, continuously firing at Wan Lei.
The sword lights collided with the Earth Thunder. The indestructible gold-elemental sword lights exploded one by one upon hitting the lightning. Wan Lei's Earth Thunder light screen immediately became unstable, shaking violently, and finally shattered with a boom after resisting for over ten seconds.
The following sword lights, without pause, struck Wan Lei's body. Wan Lei was instantly blasted away, creating a large pit in the ground.
Wan Lei stood up, the lightning on his armor crackling. He flew up again, charging towards Liu Naiweng.
Wan Lei knew he could hardly free his hands. The enemy's Tribulation Transcenders far outnumbered their own.
Currently, each of his Tribulation Transcenders was entangled by an opponent, and there were even two or three Demon Marshals wreaking havoc among their army. No one could spare time to help him hold off Liu Naiweng, nor could he destroy the teleportation array.
This filled Wan Lei with deep worry.
Although this was the first battle, it was essentially an unprepared encounter. Their Tribulation Transcenders were almost all deployed, facing only the Liu family and half-descended demons, yet they were already at a disadvantage.
Moreover, demons were still continuously descending and joining the fray.
Wan Lei suddenly lost his optimistic outlook on the war's prospects.
He absolutely had to destroy the teleportation array quickly!
But this time, the demons had clearly learned from their past mistakes. They had the Liu family's fifty thousand troops on defense, they had sabotaged the Dongmo City teleportation array, and now six Demon Marshals were guarding the teleportation array to the death, making it impossible to destroy.
The battle was fierce. The Three Allied Forces and the rogue cultivators did not know that their mission was simply to destroy the teleportation array; they thought they were here for a deathmatch against the demons, so they naturally went all out from the start.
However, going all out could not bridge the gap in combat power.
Fortunately, they had numbers, otherwise, they would likely have been routed by now.
The three allied Tribulation Transcenders, including Fang Xiaoyu and Xi Renyuanjun, were all battling one or two Demon Marshals each, and the situation was extremely grim.
Qian Duoduo was fighting a Resentment Demon. Having only broken through to Nascent Soul two years ago, he had already killed two Resentment Demons with his extraordinary combat power. He was now locked in a bitter struggle with a top-tier Resentment Demon.
Ba'ernu, He Shiba, Li Lei, and Wang Chao, all at the mere Nascent Soul cultivation, were fighting a single Resentment Demon together but were at a distinct disadvantage. They gained a new understanding of the demons' might.
The three siblings of the Fang family had also arrived and were now engaged in fierce combat.
The Kui Lian Sect, led by their sect master and a group of disciples, stabbed into the Liu family's army formation like a sharp knife. Yue Lingxi and other disciples followed their sect master, attacking enemies on the flanks.
Even Qi Manyao, a mere Core Formation cultivator, had joined the battlefield, her small face covered in bloodstains.
It was fortunate that her cultivation was weak, and she was protected by her senior sisters. Otherwise, with her cultivation level, if she were to charge into the enemy ranks, she would likely not even stir up a ripple before being annihilated in the human tide.
This night was extremely brutal, with constant deaths and individuals gravely injured choosing self-detonation to kill enemies!
Blood and wails became the theme of this desolate desert.
Wan Lei charged forward again.
In a short period, he had already exchanged blows with Liu Naiweng for three hundred rounds.
Each time, he was blasted away, spitting blood, only to painstakingly stand up and charge at the enemy again.
When he was injured, Wood Thunder would descend from the sky, not only healing his injuries but also restoring his thunder power.
The armor he wore was crafted by the Thunder Emperor from the best materials in the Thunder Wind Realm before his ascension. It could not be damaged by ordinary mortal realm cultivators.
Liu Naiweng was grinding his teeth in anger at Wan Lei, who, despite his inferior cultivation, fought like an unkillable cockroach.
In the sky, purple rain continuously dripped down, mostly in the demon's territory. Five black dragons opened their bloody mouths, blowing silver phoenixes at Liu Naiweng, weakening his vitality.
The demonic heads of the Blood Demon Art were also continuously absorbing the cultivation of the numerous enemies below to replenish Wan Lei's energy.
Boom!!!
Wan Lei was smashed away again.
"Little thief, aren't you dead yet?"
Liu Naiweng sneered, holding his Azure Scale Sword and walking towards Wan Lei.
Wan Lei stood up, and a green lightning bolt struck him again.
Suddenly, at this moment, an earth-shattering cheer erupted from the Liu family's allied forces.
They shouted,
Reinforcements had arrived.
Wan Lei turned his head in astonishment. He saw two battle fleets advancing towards them majestically from the southeast and southwest directions.
On the battle fleet from the southeast, a fiery red flag with the character "Fire" was flying.
On the battle fleet from the southwest, the flag with the characters "Kai Tian" fluttered in the wind.
Wan Lei felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Their side could not even defeat the current enemy, and now with enemy reinforcements arriving, how could they possibly fight on?
The Three Allied Forces and the rogue cultivators cursed the Huo family and Kai Tian Sword Sect loudly, denouncing them for colluding with the Liu family.
It was at this very moment that a powerful and terrifying pressure emanated from the teleportation channel.
The people on the battlefield all stopped fighting and looked towards that direction.
A demonic figure appeared in the channel.
This demon was enveloped in black mist, exuding a terrifying and majestic aura. The pressure was so immense that it made it impossible to even conceive of resistance.
Many of those present had participated in the Ten Years Grand Competition and had seen the previous Demon Lord.
The pressure emanating from the demon before them was even stronger than that of the previous Demon Lord.
The enemy's Demon Lord...
had arrived.
Everyone knew what a Demon Lord represented – an immortal realm being, an immortal, an existence absolutely invincible in the Thunder Wind Realm.
The demons' cheers reached the heavens.
The Three Allied Forces were as if their parents had died.
"Hahahaha, double happiness, double happiness! Our reinforcements are here, our Demon Lord is here! Hahaha, the great plan is complete, the great plan is complete!
Little thief, what else can you use to fight me? Die!"
Liu Naiweng laughed maniacally. As he laughed, he suddenly saw Wan Lei also laughing.
"No, why is he happier than me?"
"Hahahaha, finally, I've waited for this moment."
Wan Lei's voice was very soft, but Liu Naiweng heard it clearly.
Being the astute person he was, he immediately guessed the problem.
"No, what did you do to the formation?"
At this moment, the problematic red crystal within the teleportation array, unable to withstand the Demon Lord's terrifying pressure, exploded with a bang.
What happened ten years ago was about to be re-enacted.
