Under the relentless assault of swarms of small Flame Demons, the City Guard Army was being forced to retreat.
"We can't hold! We're going to break!"
"If this keeps up, we'll suffer devastating losses!"
Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh.
Figures came streaking through the air from the distance, one after another.
"The Kongming Clan has arrived to reinforce!"
"The Wing Dragon Clan has arrived to reinforce!"
"The Tianhun Clan has arrived to reinforce!"
"The Alchemist Association has arrived to reinforce!"
Batch after batch of powerful warriors from various clans surged in from every direction, plunging straight into the fray. The City Guard Army, which had been forced into a desperate retreat, suddenly held its line with the help of these reinforcements and launched an all-out counterattack against the small Flame Demons.
"Kill!"
The City Guard Army's morale surged. Battle cries shook the heavens. Several Black Gold-rank powerhouses charged through the ranks of the small Flame Demons, cutting through them as if there were no one there.
"Seal that fissure quickly!"
Magma continued to surge upward from the crack in the ground in the distance. When the lava spilled onto the ground, it transformed into an endless stream of small Flame Demons. Only by sealing the fissure and destroying the summoning formation could they halt the Flame Demons' onslaught.
Several Black Gold-rank warriors of the Kongming Clan took the lead, fighting their way toward the fissure, slashing down small Flame Demons as they went.
Ye Xiu's gaze fixed on the Abyss Giant Demon. Only by killing this Abyss Giant Demon would their mission truly be complete.
But the Divine Thunder Killing Formation, having gathered the lightning unleashed by every Thunder-attribute Demon Spirit, could only deal a certain amount of damage to the Abyss Giant Demon — nowhere near enough to kill it. After all, the Abyss Giant Demon was a being on par with a Legendary powerhouse!
They had no Legendary-rank powerhouse on their side. How were they supposed to deal with the Abyss Giant Demon?
Just as Ye Xiu was wracking his brain, a figure came hurtling toward them at breakneck speed — none other than
"I'll take over the Divine Thunder Killing Formation!" Nie Li shouted coldly, his hands rapidly forming seals. After stepping into the range of the Divine Thunder Killing Formation, he completed the hand seals in a flash.
Upon seeing Nie Li arrive, Ye Xiu ceded control of the Divine Thunder Killing Formation without the slightest hesitation.
Nie Li wasted no time drawing out the Divine Meteor Thunder Sword. The sword could channel the divine might of heavenly thunder, making it a perfect match for the Divine Thunder Killing Formation!
Without the slightest pause, Nie Li immediately channeled the Divine Meteor Thunder Sword. Bolts of divine thunder rained down from the sky and converged upon the blade. With a single swing of the sword, lightning hammered down upon the Black Gold-rank Thunder Demon Beasts caught within the formation. Struck by the sudden bombardment, the Thunder Demon Beasts went berserk, erupting with far more powerful energy.
Countless bolts of lightning surged skyward from those Black Gold-rank Thunder Demon Beasts, converging into a single concentrated beam. This bolt of lightning was several times thicker than the one when Ye Xiu had activated the Divine Thunder Killing Formation before. The terrifying electric glow illuminated the entire
"Such fearsome divine might!" Even Ye Xiu and the others changed color in shock.
BOOM!
The bolt of lightning descended from the heavens and slammed into the Abyss Giant Demon with devastating force.
ROAR!
The Abyss Giant Demon let out a shrill, furious roar. The earlier lightning had only inflicted minor damage on it, barely making an impact. But this bolt carried several times the destructive power, blowing away a massive chunk of its shoulder in an instant.
The Abyss Giant Demon swung its massive flame sword in rage, bringing it crashing down toward the Divine Thunder Killing Formation.
BANG!
The Divine Thunder Killing Formation was enveloped in a dense web of electricity, deflecting the Abyss Giant Demon's flame sword with ease. The formation merely swayed for a brief moment.
However, the Abyss Giant Demon was far from finished. It continued to bring its flame sword down in violent, frenzied strikes. If this kept up, even the Divine Thunder Killing Formation would eventually be destroyed.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Divine Thunder Killing Formation shook continuously.
It was a pity that the complete Myriad Demon Spirit Formation hadn't been assembled. Otherwise, forget about a single Abyss Giant Demon—dozens of them could have been slain outright.
Nie Li locked his gaze on the Abyss Giant Demon ahead and activated the Divine Meteor Thunder Sword, condensing another pillar of lightning the instant the demon raised its flame sword.
"Die!" Nie Li's eyes gleamed with killing frost, his bearing that of an awe-inspiring god of slaughter. The pillar of lightning in the sky roared down upon the Abyss Giant Demon once more.
With a deafening crack, the Abyss Giant Demon's fist gripping the flame sword was blown to shreds.
The Abyss Giant Demon let out another agonized scream as its flame sword clattered to the ground. Yet even through the searing pain, it reached out with its left hand to grab the fallen weapon.
