Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 559: Chapter 556: Fall

The entire world, in that instant, seemed to turn blood-red.

Gone was the silence of before, gone was the former beauty, all that remained was the overwhelming slaughter and the continuous thunderous booms.

”Mom, why do we have to kill them?” Su Yao looked up at Xiao Yuhui.

Xiao Yuhui remained silent, then after a moment said, ”Perhaps what you should ask is... why they want to kill us.”

”I want to learn sword techniques!” Su Qing said loudly.

Xiao Yuran indulgently touched Su Qing’s head, ”Alright, how about your aunt teaches you sword techniques?”

”No, I want to learn sword techniques from daddy!”

Determination shone in Su Qing’s eyes, ”Daddy’s sword technique is the most powerful in the world, I want to learn from him!”

Hearing this, Xiao Yuran and Xiao Yuhui exchanged glances, joy flickering in their eyes.

Clearly, the gains Su Han made leading Su Qing into the group of Extraterritorial Demons were immense.

”When your daddy has time, he’ll teach you,” Xiao Yuhui said with a smile.

”Daddy is so amazing!” Starlight filled Su Qing’s eyes.

”Grandpa Shen Li is amazing too!” Su Yao argued.

”Daddy is amazing!”

”Grandpa Shen Li is amazing!”

Their crisp voices mixed in the bloodied world, adding a childlike innocence to the city walls.

”You two little ones, don’t forget that you also have a grandpa of your own!” Xiao Yuran tapped their little heads.

”Right, there’s also grandpa, grandpa is also amazing.”

The two finally reached an agreement.

...

As time passed, noon arrived.

On the ground, two colors intermingled, blood-red and green.

The green was the fresh blood of the Extraterritorial Demons, and the red was the blood of the Phoenix Sect Disciples.

The number of Extraterritorial Demons was simply too vast.

Even though the disciples of the Phoenix Sect coordinated seamlessly with each other, some of the lower Cultivation Base individuals ultimately perished at the hands of the Extraterritorial Demons.

”Boom!”

Su Han swept away the surrounding Extraterritorial Demons with a slash, lifted his head, and his expression was somewhat grim.

”Retreat to the Sect Residence!”

His voice boomed, shaking the heavens.

The Phoenix Sect Disciples, already showing signs of exhaustion from fighting from dawn to noon, had swallowed countless pills. If they did not retreat now, without further supplies, they would eventually fall to the Extraterritorial Demons.

A massive throng, at that moment, transformed into a torrent, all retreating towards the Sect Residence.

And the endless hoard of Extraterritorial Demons pursued them, chasing after the Phoenix Sect Disciples all the way to the Sect Residence, with some still managing to follow them inside.

”Rumble!”

The Nine Clouds Immortal Illusion Formation vibrated, a massive cloud descended like a gate, blocking all of the Extraterritorial Demons outside.

Those that followed inside were surrounded by the Phoenix Sect Disciples and all cut down.

In the end, Su Han slashed seven times, not using the Sun Sword God’s Seven Swords Technique, but simply seven ordinary cuts.

These seven cuts killed thousands of Extraterritorial Demons.

The final showdown was a clash between Shen Li and Xius, the Great Demon God.

As the last crack in the Nine Clouds Immortal Illusion Formation sealed, as Shen Li returned to his Sect, this battle, at last, came to a halt.

Many Extraterritorial Demons outside roared furiously, but they simply could not break in. Those four Demon Gods, as well as Xius, the Great Demon God, seemed to have exhausted themselves, and did not continue their assault.

Standing atop the city walls at this moment, as far as the eye could see, there was still a dense mass of Extraterritorial Demons. Their numbers were so vast that they looked like a crimson sea, spreading to the end of the horizon.

”Everyone, immediately enter the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son to recuperate.”

Su Han said, ”Lian Yuze, compile the losses and gains from this battle within one day and report them to me.”

”Yes.”

Lian Yuze nodded.

With a flash of light, a stream of figures all entered the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

Outside the entire Sect Residence, only the howls of the Extraterritorial Demons remained...

...

Meanwhile, as the Phoenix Sect clashed with the Extraterritorial Demons, the entire Yuanshan County, the entire Yunyang County City, the entire Wang’an Mansion, the entire Dongling Kingdom...

...all fell in the midst of this war!

Some Cultivators were possessed by demons, others chose to submit, to save their lives but lost their freedom.

This kind of Cultivator is known as a traitor!

There was another kind, like the Phoenix Sect, preferring death to submission!

By noon, the Phoenix Sect’s Deputy Sect and its twenty thousand disciples from the Phoenix Sect had all retreated to the Sect Residence.

The once strongest Sect in Yuanshan County, the Eighth-Rate Cold Cloud Sect, was besieged by a massive horde of Extraterritorial Demons. Over half of its disciples were dead or injured, and the survivors, under the leadership of Ling Qinghai, retreated to their last line of defense.

All the major County Cities have fallen, the prosperity of the past gone forever, leaving only the crimson slaughter and angry roars.

Powerful figures emerged, slaughtering countless Extraterritorial Demons, but ultimately, due to the overwhelming numbers, after a long struggle, they were forcefully driven back, even... they met their deaths!

The world seemed to be filled with gloom.

...

”No wonder those Super Sects sealed their gates...”

Inside the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, Su Han’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

”They really had quite the strategy. In this catastrophe, they sealed their gates and didn’t let any disciples out, while those Extraterritorial Demons couldn’t blast open their Sects...”

”Their aim is to exhaust! To use the lives of the entire Dragon Martial Continent’s Cultivators to wear down the enemy!!!”

”When the Cultivators have completely perished, or when the powerhouses of those Super Sects feel it’s time to make a move, only then will these Super Sects take action!”

”But their intervention will not be a timely help, rather they want to use this catastrophe to solidify their Super Sects’ status once and for all!”

”This bunch of scoundrels...”

The thoughts of the Super Sects were not unique to Su Han; anyone with a bit of sense could figure it out.

But even if they did realize it, what could they do?

They couldn’t resist the invasion of the Extraterritorial Demons; they perished, and this couldn’t be blamed on the Super Sects. If there was blame, it could only be placed on their low Cultivation Base, on the fact that they were not members of a Super Sect!

”The Super Sects don’t make a move, those Hidden Families don’t make a move, nor do Grand Powers like the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.”

Su Han’s gaze flickered: ”For the Cultivators of the Dragon Martial Continent today, there is only one way out, and that is... the Barren Land!”

”There are rumors that there is something within the Barren Land that makes the Extraterritorial Demons wary. The entire Dragon Martial Continent is engulfed in calamity, and yet the Barren Land alone, within this horde of Extraterritorial Demons, has become a vacuum zone.”

”If we’re to speak frankly, even if the Cultivator Alliance imposes conditions on those who enter the Barren Land, both Cultivators and Sects, it is still far better compared to those Super Sects and Hidden Families, who seal their gates and disregard everything!”

”At least, in the Barren Land, there is still a path to survival...”
