In the face of danger, the Demon King Race King-Ranked martial artist quickly dodged. He only felt a shocking sharpness brush past him. His strong body felt like it was being torn apart, and he felt a sharp pain.
He shifted his feet, and the demonic saber cut through the air. The ferocious demonic creature condensed again, and its sharp claws tore through the air as it viciously clawed at Chen Zong.
Under those sharp claws, it was as if everything in the world would be torn apart.
The extreme danger made Chen Zong's hair stand on end. He took a deep breath, and as the void sword force surged, the third sword force followed suit. All his strength was channeled into the sword in his hand. The sword trembled violently as it was swung out diagonally. It was as if it was cutting through cloth, and a silver sword mark extended for thousands of meters.
Heaven's Scar!
The power of this sword was many times stronger than before. It was terrifying. It stretched for tens of thousands of meters before it disappeared. That ferocious demonic creature was also split apart by this sword.
The saber and sword clashed, and the terrifying power impacted both sides. Chen Zong and his opponent could not help but retreat a few meters.
"Although the True Intent Sword Restriction Unsealing Technique gave me great strength and gave me the strength of a King-Ranked martial artist, it cannot last for long," Chen Zong said to himself as he continued to fight.
At the end of the day, the strength of a King-Ranked martial artist was not his own. It was obtained through the use of the forbidden technique. Once the duration was up, the side effects of the forbidden technique would appear. By then, not only would he not be able to maintain his strength, but he would also fall to an even lower level.
This Demon King Race King-Ranked martial artist was very strong. He was already a King-Ranked martial artist. Now that he had used the secret technique to increase his strength by fifty percent, he was even more terrifying. Even if the secret technique ended, he would still be a King-Ranked martial artist.
It would be too difficult to kill him.
Once the True Intent Sword Restriction Unsealing Technique ended, it would be very disadvantageous for Jiang Yi.
…
In the Demon Suppressing Army camp, in a spacious palace, there was an oval-shaped table. At one end of the table, there was a huge chair. On the left and right sides of the table, there were three chairs each.
The seven chairs were originally empty, but all of a sudden, there seemed to be a strange fluctuation. Layers of ripples spread out like water, and silhouettes appeared on the three chairs on the left. Then, a silhouette appeared on one of the three chairs on the right, making a total of four silhouettes.
Each figure seemed to be shrouded in clouds, and they could not be seen clearly. What's more, they were constantly emitting shocking auras.
After a few breaths, a figure appeared on the second chair on the right.
"Fifth Army Commander, what's the result?" one of the figures asked.
The commander of the Fifth Army!
If an outsider heard this, they would be incomparably shocked.
These five people were the five generals of the five armies of the Demon Suppression Army. They were all gathered here.
As for the other two empty chairs, one was for the Head of the Demon Slaying Division, while the other was for the Head of the Army.
"Very tricky." The Fifth Army Chief replied, "I've infiltrated the seventh level of the Earth Demon Abyss. I can't infiltrate the eighth level anymore."
The other four generals listened quietly to the Fifth Army's words.
"The Devil Race has been planning this for a long time. Now that they have mobilized, the camp won't be able to hold on." The 5th Army emphasized.
"Since we can't hold on, let's give up," said the Third Army's commander decisively.
The construction of the Demon Suppression Camp had taken a lot of effort and resources. It would be a pity to give it up. However, the Fifth Army's commander would not do something without reason.
If he said that he couldn't defend it, it meant that the Devil Disaster this time was very shocking and the Devil Race was very powerful.
"Give up," said the Second Army's commander coldly.
"Even if we have to give it up, we can't let the Devil Race occupy it so easily." The Fourth Army's commander smiled, his gentle voice like a breeze.
"Fourth Army, speak." The First Army's commander's voice was deep and forceful.
"The Demon Suppression Camp was built by the Demon Suppression Army with painstaking efforts. We won't give it up unless we have no other choice. Since we have to give it up, let's destroy it in one fell swoop and not leave anything for the Devil Race." The Fourth Army's commander's gentle voice contained a trace of decisiveness.
"I suggest that since we have to destroy the camp, we make some arrangements in the camp as a gift to the Devil Race. At the same time, we can blow up the door so that the Devil Race Army can't enter the surface." The Second Army's commander's voice grew colder.
"Blow up the door …" The other four generals were shocked.
The door was the only door that connected the surface to the Earth Demon Abyss. If it was blown up, it would be difficult for the Devil Race Army to enter the surface. It would also mean that human cultivators could no longer enter the Earth Demon Abyss to train.
There were advantages and disadvantages to blowing up the door.
The advantage was that the Devil Race Army could not invade the surface.
The downside was that human cultivators would lose an excellent training ground and a source of magic herbs and magic ores, and so on.
However, in the current situation, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
"I'm afraid that even if we blow up the door, we won't be able to completely stop the invasion of the Devil Race. They will open up another door." The Fifth Army's commander said worriedly.
"The Devil Race will definitely open up another door. This is also the result that I want. Opening and stabilizing a door is not an easy task. The Devil Race will expend a lot of resources and it will also take time." The Second Army's commander spoke, his voice still cold. "We also need time to gather the various Sects to come and help us fight against the invasion of the Devil Race."
"In that case, we will blow up the door and give the Devil Race a big gift." The First Army's commander concluded.
…
"Retreat. Return to the Demon Suppression Fortress."
The order from the Demon Suppression Army's higher-ups was immediately known to everyone through the imprint.
"Retreat!" Chen Zong was slightly stunned and did not understand what was going on.
However, since the order was given, they had to follow it.
In an instant, the Demon Hunters, as the first wave, quickly retreated and flew back to the camp. The Devil Race's elites naturally took the chance to chase after them.
The Demon Hunters were not as orderly as the Demon Suppression Army. As they retreated, many of them were killed.
The Demon Slayers also took the chance to retreat. Compared to the majority of the Demon Hunters, the Demon Slayers were stronger and had better survival skills. They also suffered fewer casualties.
Retreat!
Chen Zong did not hesitate as he slashed with his sword. The silver sword light instantly exploded and turned into thousands of finger-thick silver sword lights that shot out. They were densely packed and attacked the Demon King Race's King-Ranked martial artists like a silver rainstorm.
However, at that moment, he activated his Mystic Heart Transformation Art. His body turned nine times, and his speed increased to the maximum. He flew towards Xiang Liang and killed the Demon Race member that was chasing after Xiang Liang. He grabbed Xiang Liang's arm and sped towards the Demon Suppression Fortress.
After the Demon King Race's King-Ranked martial artist destroyed the sword light, he immediately chased after them.
He knew very well that this human had the strength of a King-Ranked martial artist because he had used a powerful secret technique. Or rather, it was a forbidden technique. Once the forbidden technique was used, his strength would decrease, and he would be able to kill him.
Furthermore, this human's potential was shocking. If he wanted to kill him, he could not let him escape.
However, Chen Zong's speed was extremely fast. Moreover, he was intentionally retreating. For a moment, the Demon King could not catch up.
Following that, the Demon Suppression Army also consciously moved. They changed the Demon Slaughtering Formation and no longer focused on killing the Demon Race. Instead, they focused on defending the Demon Race's army and helping the Demon Hunters and the Demon Slayers retreat.
With the help of the Demon Suppression Army, the Demon Hunters and the Demon Slayers all retreated into the camp and quickly rushed towards the door.
At the same time, around the Demon Suppression Fortress, figures flashed past from time to time. They circled around the eight Demon Suppression Pillars at an extremely fast speed. They seemed to be doing something.
Chen Zong only took one look and realized that these figures were extremely fast. He could not catch sight of them at all. He knew that they were at least Earthly Spirit Realm martial artists. What they were doing, he did not know and did not have the time to find out.
Carrying Xiang Liang and rushing towards the door at high speed was a huge burden for Chen Zong.
Following the crowd, Chen Zong rushed through the door. Through the door, he quickly left the Demon Suppression Fortress and returned to the surface.
The moment he stepped out of the door, Chen Zong let go of Xiang Liang's arm. At the same time, he stopped using the forbidden technique, True Intent Sword Comprehension.
In an instant, the tyrannical energy in his body receded like the tide. Chen Zong felt as if he had been emptied. An intense feeling of weakness swept through every part of his body. He could not help but sway, almost falling over.
Xiang Liang hurriedly helped Chen Zong up.
"Brother Chen, are you alright?" Xiang Liang sent a voice transmission.
"I'm fine," Chen Zong replied. He quickly took out an elixir and consumed it, trying his best to alleviate the weakness in his body.
However, the aftereffects of the forbidden technique were not so easily removed.
Fortunately, they were on the surface and not in the Earth Demon Abyss. Fortunately, under the current circumstances, everyone was focused on targeting the Demon Clan and had completely let go of their conflicts.
Chen Zong was safe.
After consuming the elixir, Chen Zong's weakness was somewhat alleviated. Relying on his strong willpower and Xiang Liang's protection, he finally stepped into the Demon Suppression Fortress and headed in the direction of the Demon Suppression Barracks.
Once he entered the Demon Suppression Barracks, Chen Zong also felt slightly relieved.
Then, when he returned to the Demon Slaying Department, Chen Zong truly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Brother Xiang," Chen Zong said somewhat weakly.
"If not for you, I would probably have been killed," Xiang Liang said with a smile.
"If that's the case, it was you who sacrificed your doppelganger to save me." Chen Zong said with a smile. Then, he asked somewhat nervously, "Brother Xiang, did the death of my doppelganger affect you?"
"Some, but not much," Xiang Liang said with a smile. "Brother Chen, you need time to recover. I won't disturb you any longer. Let's catch up another day."
Then, Xiang Liang stood up and left.
Once Xiang Liang left, Chen Zong opened up his defenses and completely relaxed.
Tired!
Really tired.
First, he fought with the Demon Army. Then, he fought with the Demon Clan's killing team. Then, he used the forbidden technique, Sword Comprehension, to fight with the Demon Clan's King-Ranked martial artists. All these things made Chen Zong tense up all the time. He was extremely tense.
Now, he was finally safe. He could finally relax. Exhaustion drowned Chen Zong like a tidal wave. Combined with the aftereffects of the forbidden technique, Chen Zong's entire body went limp on the ground. He could not get up for a long time.
He fell into a deep sleep. This sleep lasted for one day and one night. When Chen Zong woke up, he still felt weak all over. It was as if he was seriously ill. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
