Chapter 65 Reinforcements Arrive
Kunwu Mountain, the core council hall.
Xuan Qingzi spread out a detailed map of the human realm on the huge jade table, and solemnly introduced the tragic state of the human realm to Linglong Demon Consort and Xuanhun Venerable.
"Please look, seniors," Xuan Qingzi said, tracing a large area marked in black on the map. "The Chaotic Star Sea has lost contact, and the Five Dragon Sea is also in grave danger. In the Great Jin mainland, apart from the million-mile area around Kunwu Mountain, the rest of the territory has been occupied or ravaged by ancient demons. Cultivators in various places have suffered heavy casualties, and the survivors have either gone into hiding or fled towards Kunwu Mountain."
He paused, his voice low: "Currently, although the main force of the ancient demons has not directly besieged Kunwu Mountain, they are diverting their troops to sweep across various places, intending to completely eliminate the resistance forces of the human race and isolate Kunwu Mountain completely. If we do not provide timely assistance, the ancient demons will surely besiege Kunwu Mountain once the human forces in various places have been wiped out."
Linglong Demoness and Xuanhun Venerable listened attentively, their eyes scanning the map, their expressions growing increasingly serious.
"Dividing forces and gradually encroaching on each other, what a vicious strategy." The enchanting concubine sneered.
"We must take the initiative, break the ancient demons' blockade, rescue cultivators from all over the world, and re-establish contact," Master Xuanhun said in a deep voice. "If we sit and wait for death, we will only be slowly worn down."
"What you say is absolutely right, senior!" Xuan Qingzi nodded hurriedly. "However... Kunwu Mountain's forces are currently limited, with only seven Nascent Soul cultivators left to guard the area. We are truly... willing but unable to do so."
"It's alright." Venerable Xuanhun waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over the thousand Nascent Soul reinforcements standing solemnly in the plaza outside the hall. "We brought a thousand men, all elites from the Spirit Realm. Although their strength is somewhat diminished due to the suppression of the interface, they should be more than enough to deal with these ancient demons."
He exchanged a glance with the enchanting concubine and quickly reached a consensus.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanqing," the Demon Consort Linglong spoke, her voice clear yet carrying an undeniable authority, "we have discussed dividing the reinforcements into several teams."
She lightly tapped the map with her jade-like finger: "I will personally lead two hundred Nascent Soul cultivators to reinforce the Five Dragon Sea. The relationship between the demon race and the human race in the Five Dragon Sea is still relatively good, and the sea area is vast. If we can stabilize the situation, we can preserve a significant fighting force for the human realm."
Led by Fellow Daoist Xuanhun, two hundred Nascent Soul cultivators are responsible for clearing out ancient demon strongholds within the Great Jin territory, opening up passages to fleeing cultivators from various regions, and escorting them to Kunwu Mountain.
Led by Fellow Daoist Xuan Qingzi, two hundred Nascent Soul cultivators went to support the Chaotic Star Sea and eliminate the demonic cultivators there.
With two hundred Nascent Soul cultivators supporting the Tiansha Continent.
The remaining two hundred Nascent Soul cultivators will remain at Kunwu Mountain to strengthen its defenses, provide support to all sides at any time, and protect this last foundation.
Xuan Qingzi listened to this meticulous plan, his heart filled with excitement. Once these armies were mobilized, they would surely deal a heavy blow to the ancient demons ravaging the human realm!
"Excellent! Excellent!" Xuan Qingzi nodded repeatedly. "With our seniors leading the way, the revival of the human realm is promising!"
"There's no time to lose." Master Xuanhun stood up, his gaze sharp as lightning. "Send the order: all armies, depart immediately!"
Meanwhile, in the sky above Tianxing City.
The battle between Wang Tianlong and the ancient demon leader Kongyu has reached a fever pitch.
Kong Yu, at the peak of the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, possessed profound demonic arts. With each swing of his demonic blade, countless black blade beams, tearing through space, swept across the land. Furthermore, he was rich in combat experience, and his supernatural abilities were unpredictable and bizarre.
Although Wang Tianlong had broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm and possessed the unparalleled wonder of the "Wind-Treading Technique," as he had anticipated, the lack of a suitable Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure became his biggest weakness. While the wind blades he conjured were sharp, they were unable to inflict fatal damage on Kong Yu. He could only rely on his exceptional escape techniques to dodge and maneuver through the countless demonic blades, appearing quite disheveled.
"Boy! Your escape technique is indeed impressive, but do you think you can contend with me with that alone? You're dreaming!" Kong Yu sneered repeatedly, his attacks becoming increasingly ferocious. Seizing a moment when Wang Tianlong dodged, he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a ball of pitch-black demonic fire. This fire swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into a sea of flames, sealing off all of Wang Tianlong's escape routes!
Wang Tianlong's expression changed slightly. His wind spiritual power surged wildly, forming layers of wind walls in front of him. However, with a hissing sound, the wind walls quickly melted away under the scorching of the demonic fire.
"This can't go on..." Wang Tianlong's mind raced as he scanned the battlefield.
He saw that the other human cultivators were in even worse shape. Surrounded by ancient demons many times their number, they were falling one after another, their screams echoing endlessly. Ling Yunchen and the others were fighting desperately, but they were already at their limit. What sank even deeper into his heart was that several Nascent Soul ancient demons, having defeated their opponents, were grinning maliciously as they closed in on him, intending to join forces with Kong Yu in a siege.
Once surrounded, even with his extraordinary escape techniques, he would be doomed!
"Fine... As long as the green hills remain, there's always firewood to burn!" Wang Tianlong made a decision instantly. Without further hesitation, he frantically channeled his magical power into the Sky-Stepping Boots beneath his feet, preparing to unleash his strongest escape technique and flee a thousand miles away.
As for the lives of others... he had done his best, but there was nothing more he could do.
However, just as Wang Tianlong was about to use his escape technique and the remaining demonic fire was about to engulf him—
"Buzz—!"
A deep yet powerful spatial fluctuation suddenly emanated from the dilapidated teleportation array area in the center of Tianxing City!
Immediately afterwards, a series of incredibly powerful auras, far surpassing those of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, shot into the sky from the teleportation array!
"Ancient Demon, prepare to die!"
A clear, cold shout echoed throughout the entire battlefield. A streak of seven-colored light swept across like a bolt of lightning, instantly extinguishing most of the remaining terrifying demonic fire!
Behind Xuan Qingzi, dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators dressed in uniform and exuding a fierce aura poured out of the teleportation array one after another. Without saying a word, they unleashed various powerful magic weapons and divine abilities to attack the ancient demons around them!
These cultivators were the spirit realm reinforcements sent by the Demon Consort Linglong to the Chaotic Star Sea! They arrived just in time via the ancient teleportation array between the Star Palace and Kunwu Mountain!
The sudden turn of events brought the entire battlefield to a standstill.
The sinister smile on Kong Yu's face froze instantly, replaced by shock and anger: "Spirit Realm cultivators?! How did you end up here?!"
Wang Tianlong was also dumbfounded, staring at the group of reinforcements descending from the sky. While overjoyed, he was also secretly relieved that he had been a step too slow. If he had run away just now, he would have missed this golden opportunity to turn the tide of the battle!
"Haha! Old Demon Kong Yu, your death is near!" Wang Tianlong laughed loudly, his figure, which was originally preparing to flee, suddenly stopped. Wind spirit power gathered in his hand again, and his eyes were fixed on Kong Yu. "Now, it's my turn to retaliate!"
With the arrival of reinforcements from the Spirit Realm, the tide of battle turned instantly. Although the ancient demons still outnumbered the demons, the Spirit Realm cultivators were all powerful and possessed exquisite magical artifacts. As soon as the battle began, they forced the ancient demons into a series of defeats.
Wang Tianlong's pressure was greatly reduced. Although Wang Tianlong and Xuan Qing did not communicate, they tacitly attacked at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, to launch a pincer attack on the empty space!
"Damn it! So what if there are reinforcements from the spirit realm? I can still kill you all!" Kong Yu roared, his demonic energy surging as he bravely faced two opponents alone!
The elite reinforcements from the Spirit Realm, led by Xuan Qingzi, charged out fiercely, with hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators cutting into the ancient demon army like sharp blades. The Spirit Realm's magical powers and treasures were astonishing, instantly turning the tide of the battle.
The previously despairing human cultivators were greatly encouraged and joined forces with reinforcements to launch a counterattack. Wang Tianlong's pressure eased considerably, and he and Xuan Qingzi joined forces to attack Kong Yu from both sides. Although Kong Yu was strong, he was overwhelmed by the tacit attack of the two and his demonic body was injured. Seeing the army's defeat, Kong Yu roared in anger and ordered a retreat, using the momentum to escape far away.
