Chapter 244: Chapter 179: The Fall of the Martial Saint (Request for Monthly Tickets)_3
Every moment, human Martial Artists and demons perish in battle, and even the skies see a continuous fall of corpses from both Celestial beings and demons.
Long after, a sudden earth-shattering boom erupted from the high skies, followed by a dismembered corpse plummeting down.
It was the green-clothed Martial Saint, Chen Sicheng.
His body looked as if it had been brushed over by something, not a single inch remained intact.
Suddenly, a purple-robed figure descended from the heavens, catching the mutilated corpse of the green-clothed elder.
His eyes were bloodshot with rage, for Uncle Chen had sacrificed himself to block the fatal blow from Huang Lang, the Demon Saint, saving his life.
At this moment, the turmoil in the skies intensified, thunder roared, and yellow clouds spread.
Following that, the pervasive Demon Energy was torn apart, revealing a gigantic figure wrapped in thunder, descending like the Thunder God incarnate.
"Damn it, Elder Yuan has resorted to a Forbidden Technique."
Yan Fu, the purple-robed Martial Saint, saw this scene and his face turned ugly.
For what Elder Yuan manifested was the Primordial Spirit Dharma Form.
Under normal circumstances, even top-level Martial Saints couldn’t utilize the Primordial Spirit Dharma Form, as any injury would cause the Primordial Spirit to collapse, leading to death and the vanishing of their path.
Only those at the Great Saint level were capable of wielding the Primordial Spirit Dharma Form.
But now, Elder Yuan had forcibly driven the Forbidden Technique to exhibit the Primordial Spirit Dharma Form, which was a life-threatening gamble.
"You human madman..."
Huang Lang, the Demon Saint, was also greatly startled at this scene.
For a top-level Martial Saint to employ the Primordial Spirit Dharma Form was simply courting death.
Only the Myriad Phenomena Martial Intent of the Fifth Layer or above could sustain the Primordial Spirit Dharma Form; otherwise, the resulting backlash would surely lead to the collapse of the Primordial Spirit.
Now that this human Martial Saint was using the Primordial Spirit Dharma Form, it created an immense pressure on him.
As soon as a Thunder Sword was swung, torrents of thunder spread, easily tearing apart his Myriad Phenomena Demon Domain.
Puh!
Huang Lang’s cloak instantly disintegrated.
He spurted a mouthful of blood, and his aura weakened drastically.
Two more sword strikes followed, and Huang Lang, with no place to dodge, begrudgingly endured the two hits, one of his arms breaking off completely.
However, being a Demon Saint, unlike humans, he could regenerate his severed limb.
Suddenly!
The Thunder God-like Primordial Spirit Dharma Form, holding the Thunder Sword, appeared in front of Huang Lang, stabbing fiercely.
Huang Lang sensed an imminent calamity.
He opened his mouth and spat out a bead.
Intense yellow Demon Energy gush forth, forming a wall of wind that blocked the Thunder Sword.
The thunder on the Thunder Sword permeated, tearing through layers of wind barriers, until finally, the Thunder Sword struck the bead.
Huang Lang trembled all over; the bead was his Lifebound Demon Pill, the source of his greatest strength as well as his weakness. Should the Lifebound Demon Pill shatter, his death was certain.
Just when Huang Lang felt his Lifebound Demon Pill couldn’t withstand much longer, suddenly, the Thunder Sword vibrated violently and dispersed.
Immediately afterward, the eyes of the Thunder God Dharma Form conveyed a sense of profound regret, sighing deeply, and then the Dharma Form began to collapse.
The next moment, the one-armed body of Yuan Chenggang fell from the skies.
"Elder Yuan..."
Witnessing this, the Green-clothed Elder was filled with fury and grief, screaming out as he swiftly flew up to catch Yuan Chenggang’s body.
"Retreat at once."
Elder Yuan uttered a weak voice, and his last breath of life completely faded away.
Yan Fu, the purple-robed Martial Saint, glared hatefully at Huang Lang in the high skies. Being just a junior Martial Saint, even if Huang Lang had been gravely injured by Senior Brother Yuan, he was undoubtedly no match for him.
"Retreat!"
Instantly, he shouted loudly, his voice echoing far and wide.
The tense battlefield instantly quieted down, and all Dao Sect and various martial arts forces’ experts began to abandon their fight against demons and retreat.
Many demons were suppressed by Yan Fu’s Myriad Phenomena Martial Intent and had no way to pursue.
After all the human clan experts withdrew from the battlefield, he swiftly retreated, carrying the bodies of Elder Yuan and Yan Fu.
High in the skies, Huang Lang, the Demon Saint, retracted his Lifebound Demon Pill, watching the retreating human Martial Saint without pursuit.
For his injuries were extremely severe.
Even though the Thunder Sword ultimately disintegrated at the last moment, his Lifebound Demon Pill was still severely damaged, now showing cracks.
Perhaps if he made a move, he could retain that junior Martial Saint, but doing so would exacerbate his injuries due to the forced use of demonic power.
Moreover, the goal of this battle was already achieved.
The Dao Sect’s power within Chang Country was no longer enough to threaten Lion Camel Demon City.
"Minions, from this moment on, within a thousand li radius, this will be the hunting grounds of Lion Camel Demon City."
Huang Lang, the Demon Saint, let out a long howl.
Wuu wuu wuu...
For a moment, numerous demons danced wildly, emitting various earth-shaking roars and howls...
...
In Hechen County City.
The Celestials from Divine Sword Sect have already retreated here.
This great battle led to the fall of several Celestials from Divine Sword Sect.
As for the number of fallen Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters, that number was even greater.
"Lion Camel Demon City has already turned the area within a thousand li into their hunting ground... Going forward, unless we receive stronger reinforcements, the Dao Sect will definitely have to consolidate its power."
Elder Qing Song had a grave expression, analyzing calmly.
Facing such a situation, he felt an intense sense of powerlessness.
Even Dao Sect had lost two Martial Saints.
Not to mention Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials and ordinary Celestials, those were even more.
"Are we to just let those cities... fall into the hands of the Demon Race?"
A Heavenly Person said somberly.
"For the moment, our Divine Sword Sect must prioritize self-preservation; we cannot provoke Lion Camel Demon City for now."
Elder Qing Song said solemnly, "Hence, we must withdraw all our forces from within a thousand li radius of Lion Camel Demon City."
