Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1712: Chapter 1325: Repelled

In an instant, thousands of devil beasts fell to the ground with a crash.

They might not have died immediately, but after enduring the trampling of many devil beasts, they turned into mush!

In fact, the casualties caused by the Li family were far less than that caused by the trampling of the beasts.

”Damn it!”

The Heavenly Immortals of the Devil Race driving the low-level demon beasts from behind looked grim when they saw this scene, not expecting the Li family to have prepared in advance.

What was originally planned as an ambush turned into falling into a trap, resulting in significant casualties on their side.

And the brilliant array in front of them was uncertain to devour how many devil beasts’ lives!

However, there was no way to retreat now, as it would drastically damage the morale and allow the Li family more time to prepare defenses, making future attacks more costly.

”Charge at them! I want to see just how formidable this Li family is.”

With that, this Earth Immortal beast charged out, mana pouring from its body, and a great mountain appeared out of nowhere, hurtling towards the Immortal City below at the fastest speed.

Rumble——

The mountain bore down, instantly raising a series of explosive sounds, but this divine power did not crash into the formation; instead, it was withstood by the giant tree manifested by Li Zhirui!

The massive tree, with its treetop stretching over miles, sturdily withstood the weight of the mountain.

As the two divine powers clashed, a myriad of fragments and broken branches blasted in all directions, but the Li family was protected by the formation, leaving them unharmed, while the group of devil beasts could only use their bodies as shields.

”Aaaaah!”

For a time, cries of misery filled the air, with many devil beasts unable to suppress their agonized screams.

The aftermath did not cause many deaths, yet it inflicted massive injuries upon the devil race, with many beasts harmed by the impact.

Their wailing and tragic conditions severely affected their morale, forcing the devil race to divert attention to care for the wounded, further weakening their strength.

Seizing such a golden opportunity, the Li family, of course, would not miss out, with clan members unleashing their killer moves to slay as many devil beasts as possible during the devil race’s moment of distraction.

”Roar!”

Seeing one devil beast after another fall, the Earthly Immortals could no longer hold back, stepping in to intercept these attacks, shouting angrily, ”Get your spirits up! Do you seriously want to die here!?”

Threatened by death, the devil beasts quickly calmed down and began launching counterattacks in an orderly fashion.

In terms of sheer strength, the devil race held the upper hand; they were merely caught off guard by the Li family’s preemptive strike and ambush, which had left them in such a dismal, tragic state.

Gradually, the devil race began to regain some ground due to their superior strength, no longer being caught passively and pummelled.

”The Li family only has one Earth Immortal; it seems the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance’s attack was effective, putting immense pressure on the Li family, rendering them unable to pull more forces to assist here in the short term, and with our combined strength, are we really not a match for one person?”

Though Li Zhirui’s strength was undoubtedly formidable, they, after all, were six Earthly Immortals, sharing the same major realm; the gap in power was not an insurmountable chasm.

If they united, it wouldn’t be impossible to defeat him!

However, the problem lay in Li Zhirui’s reluctance to leave the formation, making him more challenging to deal with.

Therefore, they had to figure out a way to lure him out, for otherwise, continuing as such would only increase the devil race’s casualties!

”Coward! Hiding in the formation all day, what does that count for, dare you come out and fight with me!” A devil race Earth Immortal attempted to provoke him, trying to lure Li Zhirui out.

Seeing him unmoved, the insults grew nastier.

But Li Zhirui paid no heed, acting as if he hadn’t heard, continuing to attack those Earthly Immortals, not giving them any chance to destroy the formation, and occasionally attempting sneak attacks to see if he could injure them and weaken the devil race’s strength.

There was truly no rush for him now, as the family still held the upper hand, and once Xiaoqing and Cang finished their tasks, they would come to assist, marking the real time to discern the victor!

Although Li Zhirui’s strength was indeed formidable, taking on six at once was still too challenging, especially without encountering any bottlenecks himself; why challenge his own limits unnecessary?

Moreover, if things went awry, affecting the favorable situation for the family, wouldn’t he become a sinner?

No matter how much they taunted him, he remained unmoved, patiently waiting for Xiaoqing and Cang to arrive.

The Earth Immortal of the devil race felt helpless; they understood Li Zhirui’s intention, and could even comprehend his approach, yet in confrontation, understanding didn’t equate to acceptance!

Seeing they couldn’t lure him out of the formation, the only choice was an all-out assault, relentlessly trying to break through this massive obstacle of an Immortal City.

Rumble——

Deafening explosions rang continuously while powerful divine powers unfolded one after another, as the devil race seemingly fought tooth and nail to solve the tremendous obstruction before them.

Li Zhirui led his people to neutralize these attacks, minimizing the damage to the formation while frequently launching counters.

Shortly after their battle with the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain’s devil race erupted, the Li family received the news.

Li Chongmiao did not convene a meeting, directly ordering the clan members to man the cloud boats and transport various supplies to the frontline, with talismans and pills being the most numerous.

She then explained her orders to the elders, saying in a deep voice, ”I didn’t expect the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance to really ally with the devil race!”

The pressure of fighting on two fronts was considerable, although, after so many years of development, the Li family wasn’t lacking in cultivators, high-level cultivators remained incredibly scarce.
