"You want to end this war? You really dare say that? You think you alone can defeat us?"
At that moment, Murong Mingtian let out a cold laugh. Although Chu Feng was a fourth-rank Martial King, anyone with experience could tell that Chu Feng had obtained this level of cultivation through some special method.
Murong Mingtian, who had cultivated at the Ethereal Immortal Peak, understood better than anyone how Chu Feng had achieved his current strength. But even if Chu Feng was a fourth-rank Martial King, he felt no fear. After all, he didn't believe that Chu Feng — a fourth-rank Martial King like Jiang Qisha — could possibly be Jiang Qisha's opponent. And that was only considering the one-on-one aspect. Right now, Chu Feng stood alone, while they commanded an army of tens of millions.
"Heh. Murong Mingtian, if you think I'm standing here by myself, then you're sorely mistaken." Chu Feng smiled faintly, and the distant horizon began to rumble and tremble once more.
Before long, tens of millions of figures clad in black robes appeared in everyone's vision, ultimately arriving on the battlefield.
These, of course, were none other than the army of the Night Demon Sect. Not only the Night Demon Sect's forces, but Qiushui Fuyan and Taikou were also among them.
"The Night Demon Sect? The members of the Night Demon Sect have actually gathered? They really came to attack this place?"
Upon seeing this scene, many of those present were shocked. Everyone knew exactly what the Night Demon Sect was. Though the forces that now appeared were identical to the mysterious army from before in terms of combat power, the intimidation they carried was entirely different.
Among them were Qiu Canfeng, Fu Liansheng, Xue Xiyue, and Youming Deng — the Four Great Protectors of the Night Demon Sect. Which one of them wasn't a legendary demon lord of the Eastern Sea?
As for the Five Element Kings — Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth — they were no simple characters either.
It could be said that the lineup the Night Demon Sect had assembled now was virtually identical to their peak formation. Save for the Sect Master himself, every true heavyweight had arrived.
"Greetings to the Sect Master!!!"
But at that very moment, something even more shocking occurred. The Night Demon Sect's army of tens of millions, including the Four Great Protectors, dropped to one knee in perfect unison and performed a grand bow toward Chu Feng.
"What? Sect Master? Chu Feng is the Sect Master of the Night Demon Sect?"
This scene left the already-shocked crowd completely dumbfounded. Not in their wildest dreams had they imagined that Chu Feng had become the Sect Master of the Night Demon Sect.
But after a moment's thought, it did make sense. The Demon Sealing Sword in Chu Feng's hands had always been the Night Demon Sect's greatest treasure. Combined with his heaven-defying talent and his recently surging cultivation, he truly possessed the qualifications to lead the Demon Sect.
"Heh, so it was you lot who activated that grand formation earlier."
"Though in my eyes you're nothing but a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the fact that you'd willingly come to die for a single Chu Feng — I'll admit, that's a bit beyond my expectations."
Murong Mingtian let out a cold laugh. Regardless of how others viewed the Night Demon Sect, in his eyes, they were a pack of trash he could annihilate single-handedly. Numbers? Mere clouds before the wind.
"Heh. You look down on my Night Demon Sect? If you and Jiang Qisha don't step in, do you really think your Immortal Slaying Archipelago could be a match for us?" Chu Feng shot back coldly.
"That—" Many who heard this felt their hearts tighten. Although the Immortal Slaying Archipelago had no shortage of experts, the Night Demon Sect's lineup was far from weak. Everyone knew that the Night Demon Sect had once been the supreme overlord of the Eastern Sea. Though they had scattered years ago, the legend they left behind made them seem terrifyingly powerful.
If Murong Mingtian — that seventh-rank Martial King old monster — didn't intervene, forget the Archipelago fighting alone; even if the Three Great Demon Races joined forces, they might not be able to defeat the Night Demon Sect.
"What a joke. You really think your Night Demon Sect is invincible under heaven? Even without me stepping in, your Night Demon Sect still can't match the Immortal Slaying Archipelago and the Three Great Demon Races combined."
Murong Mingtian smiled coldly. He felt no fear. Setting aside the fact that four great forces were united — giving them the advantage in both lineup and overwhelming numerical superiority—
"Very well, then. Allow me to show you just which army is stronger — your alliance, or the experts of my Night Demon Sect." As Chu Feng spoke, the palm gripping the Demon Sealing Sword suddenly flashed with light, and an invisible wave of energy surged outward from the blade.
Hummm—
As that wave swept across the battlefield, the aura of the Night Demon Sect's tens of millions of soldiers began to skyrocket. Though their cultivation levels remained the same, the feeling they projected was utterly different from before.
"The Night Demon Sect's Battle Formation?" Murong Mingtian's brow furrowed at the sight. He knew the Night Demon Sect possessed a technique that could enhance the combat power of all their forces — the Battle Formation.
But the Night Demon Sect's Battle Formation was an enormously complex array that only existed within their own territory. They were on Immortal Slaying Archipelago land right now — how could there possibly be a Battle Formation here? And judging by the dramatic boost in the Night Demon Sect soldiers' power, this particular Battle Formation was extraordinarily potent.
"Could it be… the Demon Sealing Sword? Did that boy actually have a Battle Formation embedded within himself?" Murong Mingtian's mind raced, and when this possibility occurred to him, even he couldn't help but be quietly alarmed.
"Brothers of the Night Demon Sect, hear my command! Today, we annihilate the Immortal Slaying Archipelago and the Three Great Demon Races. Whoever stands in our way — dies!"
At that moment, the Demon Sealing Sword in Chu Feng's hand descended, pointing straight at the Archipelago's army.
"KILL~~~~~~~~~~~~"
The instant Chu Feng gave the order, the members of the Night Demon Sect erupted like awakened demons. A murderous aura exploded from each of them as they unleashed every brutal technique at their disposal, charging straight into the ranks of the Immortal Slaying Archipelago and the Three Great Demon Races.
"KILL~~~~~~~~~~~~"
The Archipelago and the Three Great Demon Races' forces naturally wouldn't cower. Bellowing with fury, they surged forward to meet the Night Demon Sect head-on.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM"
Tens of millions of soldiers crashing into each other — the resulting shockwaves and ripples were earth-shaking and terrifying beyond measure. This was no mere clash of armies; tens of millions of real lives were fighting and dying. Every figure that fell represented a life extinguished.
But when two armies met, only one could prevail. Though both sides' formations were comparable — and the Immortal Slaying Archipelago and the Three Great Demon Races held an absolute advantage in numbers — once the real fighting began, the balance shifted almost immediately. The Night Demon Sect's army, armed with their overwhelming combat strength and flawless coordination, turned their smaller numbers into a decisive advantage.
