Chapter 113 The Demons Temporarily Retreat

Chapter 113 Demon Race Temporarily Retreats

Seeing the heavy casualties among the Demon Race, Mo Yuetian quickly adjusted his strategy.

He reorganized the Demon Clan Army.

Each army unit was led by a Void Refining or Body Integration Demon Race member, maintaining a certain distance from each other.

This was to prevent too many of them from being killed in a single wave.

After the adjustment, the Demon Clan Army continued their assault on Suppressing Demon City.

However, the intensity of their attacks was far less fierce than at the beginning.

The Cultivators on the city wall found it extremely easy to deal with.

Everyone either used Divine Abilities and Magic Treasures, or operated Demon Extermination Crossbows and God-Shattering Cannons.

They focused their fire on the Demon Race members attempting to approach the city wall.

The tide of offense and defense instantly reversed.

Facing the fierce attacks from the Cultivators on the city wall, the Demon Clan Army was hard-pressed to cope.

They had almost no opportunity to spare time to attack the defensive light barrier above Suppressing Demon City.

Occasionally, some Demon Race members launched attacks at the city's light barrier, but these were mostly intercepted by the Cultivators.

If it weren't for the ten Mahayana Realm Demon Race members still outside, everyone would have wanted to rush out and slaughter a wave.

The battle continued for sixteen days.

During these sixteen days, the Demon Clan Army launched countless assaults on Suppressing Demon City.

However, the defensive light barrier above Suppressing Demon City remained as stable as a mountain.

There was no sign of it wavering in the slightest.

In the end, Mo Yuetian had no choice but to order a retreat.

In this battle, the Demon Race suffered heavy losses of elite forces, and even one Demon God Guard was severely wounded.

As for the battle results?

It could be said to be zero.

Because the Cultivators stood on the city wall, protected by the Formation, they were not harmed at all.

And the Heaven Sealing Spirit Banishing Grand Formation, under the brave resistance of the Cultivators, did not suffer too much consumption either.

As time passed, it would quickly recover.

Seeing the Demon Clan Army retreat, Zhang Yuhe flew to Feng Xiaotian's side and said to him,

“Sect Master, there should be nothing here for now. I'll go back to Cultivate first.”

“Alright.”

Feng Xiaotian smiled and nodded in response.

The strength Zhang Yuhe displayed in today's great battle greatly astonished him.

Even a Demon God Guard in the Great Vehicle Middle Stage could not withstand a single punch from Zhang Yuhe.

As for the Demon Race in the Mahayana Early Stage, they dared not even approach.

Although they stood on the city wall and received the enhancement effect of the Formation.

Everyone's strength would be boosted to a certain extent.

However, this kind of enhancement was more of a quantitative improvement, and would not bring about a qualitative change.

It was completely impossible to achieve cross-rank combat relying on the enhancement of the Formation.

If it were possible, he wouldn't have wasted time with Mo Yuetian.

Instead, he would have turned to find a way to defeat the other Demon God Guards first.

However, this was impossible.

Feng Xiaotian knew his own strength.

With the enhancement of the Formation, he might be able to fight a Demon God Guard in the Great Vehicle Middle Stage to a stalemate.

But he certainly wouldn't gain any significant advantage.

That's why he chose to simply tie down Mo Yuetian, to prevent this Demon God Palace Master in the Great Ascension Late Stage.

From causing too much damage to Suppressing Demon City's defensive Formation.

Yet Zhang Yuhe was able to severely wound a Demon God Guard in the Great Vehicle Middle Stage with a single punch.

This indicated that Zhang Yuhe's strength was much greater than his.

Considering that Zhang Yuhe had only just advanced to the Mahayana Realm less than a year ago.

And already possessed such formidable strength.

If he were given more time to Cultivate.

Once he Cultivated to the Great Vehicle Middle Stage, then the Demon Race outside might no longer be a concern.

Feng Xiaotian believed that with Zhang Yuhe's talent, it wouldn't take too long for him to Cultivate to the Great Vehicle Middle Stage.

Perhaps in a few hundred or a thousand years, Zhang Yuhe could Breakthrough.

What he needed to do now was to stall the Demon Race as much as possible, to buy Zhang Yuhe more time to Cultivate.

Feng Xiaotian planned that as long as no major unforeseen circumstances arose, he would no longer allow Zhang Yuhe to come out and provide support.

Zhang Yuhe flew back to Silver River Peak, leaving his three thousand Incarnations to continue defending on the city wall.

His true self, however, returned to Silver River Peak, intending to enter seclusion for Cultivation.

Unless the Demon Race could truly threaten the safety of Suppressing Demon City.

Otherwise, he would remain in Cultivation until he reached the Great Vehicle Middle Stage before coming out.

Zhang Yuhe tossed out the Gathering Spirit Pagoda, then stepped into the Ninth-Floor Cultivation Platform.

With the retreat of the Demon Clan Army, the entire Suppressing Demon City erupted in cheers.

Through everyone's brave efforts, the Demon Race's fierce, tide-like offensive was finally repelled.

After this battle, the majestic image of Zhang Old Ancestor became even more deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

In this great battle, many Cultivators witnessed Zhang Old Ancestor severely wounding a Mahayana Realm Demon Race member with a single punch.

Furthermore, he manifested three thousand Incarnations, each of which possessed Void Refining Realm strength.

The three thousand Incarnations were like three thousand mighty炮台, thoroughly routing the Demon Clan Army and preventing them from approaching the city wall.

Zhang Old Ancestor's formidable strength and such wondrous Incarnation Divine Ability greatly impressed everyone.

In everyone's opinion.

Even without the help of other Cultivators, Zhang Old Ancestor alone could firmly defend Suppressing Demon City.

With Zhang Old Ancestor being so mighty, what was there to fear from the Demon Race?

In contrast to the excited and cheering Cultivators of Suppressing Demon City.

Within the Demon God Palace, there was a deathly silence.

After continuous battles, they had not achieved the desired results.

Although everyone had been mentally prepared for the defenses of Suppressing Demon City.

Suppressing Demon City was, after all, a fortress painstakingly managed by the Dao Saint Sect.

It was indeed not easy to breach.

However, what surprised everyone was that after continuous battles, they had not made even the slightest progress.

If things continued like this, when would they ever be able to breach Suppressing Demon City?

Could they even breach Suppressing Demon City?

The Demon God Guards felt completely uncertain in their hearts.

Mo Yuetian sat at the head, his fingers gently tapping the table, when he suddenly asked,

“Gu Xiao, how long do you think Suppressing Demon City's defensive Formation can hold?”

Gu Xiao pondered for a moment before slowly replying,

“Reporting to Palace Master, the Heaven Sealing Spirit Banishing Grand Formation has a certain degree of automatic recovery capability.”

“If we maintain our previous attack intensity, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to breach it even after a hundred years of fighting.”

“To break through Suppressing Demon City's defensive Formation, we must increase the attack intensity.”

Upon hearing Gu Xiao's words, Mo Yuetian had yet to speak, but the other Demon God Guards present instantly erupted in uproar.

“What? We need to increase the attack intensity even more? We've already done our best just now.”

“That's right, if we strengthen the attack even more, how many people will die?”

“Exactly, these armies are all elites of the Sacred Realm, are we going to let them all die here?”

“How about we just take Flowing Cloud Corridor as the boundary and just occupy the eastern part of Yu Fan Heaven for now.”

The Demon God Guards spoke one after another, expressing their opposition to continuing to increase the attack intensity.

Some had even begun to show signs of wanting to retreat.

The continuous attacks had severely damaged the Demon Clan Army, and they were somewhat afraid of Zhang Yuhe.

If they had a choice, they did not want to continue besieging the city, let alone increase the attack intensity.

Hearing the words of the Demon God Guards.

Mo Yuetian suddenly stood up, flicked his sleeve, and shouted loudly,

“Enough, stop arguing! Army losses can be replenished, but the attack on Suppressing Demon City absolutely cannot stop.”

“Once the Dao Saint Sect recovers, how will we establish ourselves in Yu Fan Heaven in the future?”

“That Zhang Yuhe, you've all seen him.”

“He's only in the Mahayana Early Stage now, and he's already so difficult to deal with.”

“Once this person Breakthroughs to the Great Vehicle Middle Stage, what will we do then?”

“Therefore, I have decided to replenish our forces from the rear and continue to strengthen the attack on Suppressing Demon City. We will not rest until this city is breached!”

“Yes, Palace Master.”

Hearing Mo Yuetian's words, the Demon God Guards could only nod in resignation.

Since the Palace Master wanted to fight, then let them fight.

Anyway, those who would die were the low-level Demon Race Cultivators; they wouldn't risk themselves.

They didn't want to end up like Ren Tong.

Didn't they see Ren Tong's face, still pale?

Zhang Yuhe's Galactic Divine Dragon Fist had inflicted extremely heavy damage on him.

He would probably need to recuperate for several decades to slowly recover.
