Chapter 151 - 87: Zhang Xianlong Provoked, Slays Every Demon Fiend Encountered

"Six thousand years of power!"

Wei Fan glanced at the panel, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over him.

Although he only struck twice, both slashes erupted with sword momentum.

This is the ultimate power that a Celestial Martial Artist can wield, and for someone like him at the Celestial Human Second Layer to exert it, his heart spirit was somewhat overloaded.

Zhang Xianlong’s expression was complex: "Remember to erase all traces of your energy, don’t let the Demon Fiends collect it."

The Young Master Bai Xiang was unexpectedly taken down like that, his skull completely split open.

Wei Fan erased his energy traces, dismantling two enormous ivory tusks over three meters long from the Young Master Bai Xiang, each weighing several thousand pounds, feeling more practical in hand than the previous rhino horn.

Unable to store them in his waist token, he had to carry one in each hand.

Dragging the massive ivory tusks, he approached Zhang Xianlong: "If you can’t hold on anymore, head back first; I still haven’t collected the aura of even a single Demon Fiend!"

Zhang Xianlong’s mouth twitched; you cut down everyone you see, what’s the point of collecting auras.

"I’m fine, pop a healing elixir, and I can keep fighting!"

He flipped his hand to swallow a healing elixir, intending to leave with Wei Fan.

"Roar..."

A gigantic roar came from afar, and Wei Fan recognized it as the roar of Yuan Xiao, the Great White Ape who attacked Jin Wucheng, son of the White Ape Demon Monarch.

The roar seemed not out of anger, but as a gathering call for companions.

Zhang Xianlong paused: "No need to go; these beasts have retreated."

The voluntary retreat suggests the Demon Fiend alliance is inferior.

This time on the Demon Hunter side, there were many experts, including veterans like Jin Wucheng, a Celestial Human Ninth Layer, and prodigies like Long Xueyi.

Secretly, they also had Wei Fan with his Horizontal Cultivation of Innate, likely having killed many Demon Fiends.

...

South of the city!

Jin Wucheng watched the departure of Yuan Xiao, son of the White Ape Demon Monarch, knowing that further struggle would only lead to mutual destruction.

Although this breakthrough attempt failed, there were still chances.

Yuan Xiao, wielding a club as thick as a barrel, enveloped in Demonic Wind, flew to a mountain peak.

A large gaping hole was in his abdomen, but it was slowly healing under the effects of demonic power.

He didn’t care, as he also landed a blow on Jin Wucheng, likely fracturing a few bones.

"Roar"

Standing atop the mountain peak, he let out another roar!

"Although I couldn’t take down Jin Wucheng, they should have slaughtered quite a few Demon Hunters!"

As the leading Great Demon of the Demon Heaven Alliance, Yuan Xiao knew their forces were stronger than the Demon Hunters.

A Demon Hunter or two should have died; his kin infiltrating the city had likely wiped out Jin Wucheng’s kin, well-fed and satisfied.

When Jin Wucheng returns, his heart will surely ache!

"Roar..."

"Roar..."

Alongside his roar, echoing roars resounded throughout the wilderness, soon followed by gusts of demonic wind converging onto the mountain peak, forming into fearsome Great Demons filled with evil qi.

"Greetings to Lord Yuan!"

"Has Lord Yuan slain Jin Wucheng!"

...

Each Great Demon spoke up.

Yuan Xiao’s gaze swept over them, noticing that most of his companions were wounded, though not severely, as their injuries were slowly recovering under the effect of demonic power.

He realized one of his kin was missing, casting a shadow over his expression: "Where’s Yuan Qi? Has anyone seen him? Could he still be in the city foraging!"

All the Great Demons shook their heads, indicating they hadn’t seen Yuan Qi.

A Bear Demon with wings spoke: "Besides Yuan Qi, the Rhino Demon hasn’t returned either, what if they’ve been killed!"

Snake Fairy commented: "He encountered Zhang Xianlong; it’s uncertain whether Zhang Xianlong killed him or not. At that time, the Young Master Bai Xiang went to kill Zhang Xianlong, trying to force the whereabouts of the Horizontal Cultivation of Innate Wei Fan from him. Oddly enough, how come Young Master Bai Xiang hasn’t returned either; could Zhang Xianlong have counter-killed him?

Zhang Xianlong doesn’t have the capability to slay Young Master Bai Xiang."

Yuan Xiao’s expression grew darker; it didn’t bother him much if his kin died, nor did the loss of the Rhino Demon matter, but if Young Master Bai Xiang perished, the wrath of the White Elephant Demon Monarch was beyond his bearing.

Yuan Xiao growled low: "That damned fool, wasn’t he tasked with dealing with Long Xueyi. Zhang Xianlong isn’t some pushover. Can the location of the Horizontal Cultivation of Innate be forced out? To recklessly get himself killed is to drag us into trouble."

Snake Fairy suggested: "Let’s wait a bit longer, perhaps Young Master Bai Xiang has a penchant for battle. He’s never been one to easily obey Lord Yuan’s orders, and Young Master Bai Xiang isn’t that weak; even if it were Jin Wucheng, it would take some effort to kill him. Since he didn’t encounter Long Xueyi and Jin Wucheng, he shouldn’t be dead."

Yuan Xiao nodded: "Who else hasn’t returned?"

After tallying up the Demon Heaven Alliance members, besides the Rhino Demon, Yuan Qi, and Young Master Bai Xiang, they found a Silver Fox of the Eighth Grade of Core Formation also hadn’t returned.

Yuan Xiao scanned the faces of the Demon Heaven Alliance members: "How many Demon Hunters have you killed?"

Most Great Demons remained silent; only the son of the White Tiger Demon Monarch spoke, claiming to have slain a Demon Hunter of the Celestial Human Sixth Layer.

In an instant, all the Great Demons’ faces looked grim. Having only killed one Demon Hunter, it seemed they had lost three to four Demon Heaven Alliance members, marking a defeat on their side.

The silver moon gradually descended, and the atmosphere atop the mountain grew heavy.

The group of Great Demons waited for another half hour, realizing no more companions appeared.

"Let’s go; it seems they’re already dead!"

No matter how disobedient Young Master Bai Xiang was, he wouldn’t continue fighting to the death when everyone else had retreated; that was a death wish.

With no further appearance, the only conclusion was that they were already dead.

"Roar!"

With a roar towards the distant Fodong Forest City, Yuan Xiao leaped down the mountain, transforming into a gust of demonic wind and flying away. The Flying Bear, Snake Fairy, and the son of the White Tiger Demon Monarch also leaped up, transforming into demonic winds and disappearing from the mountain peak.
