CHAPTER 980: CHAPTER 677 THIS TIME IT’S NOT 1/4_2

The leading Demon Chief felt something was wrong: "These people have all retreated and are about to launch the most ferocious attack on us."

The so-called calm before the storm, it was nothing but this.

"Whizz, whizz, whizz!"

Suddenly, trails of fire came flying, they were actually flaming arrows.

They all landed in the Spirit Mine, the forest burning, flames towering to the skies.

In addition to these, not too far away, silhouettes were approaching,

The leader among them possessed quite strong cultivation levels.

"This isn’t good, these are all the elite warriors under the Three Cities’ Lords, it seems this time I won’t be able to hold them back."

The Demon Chief who swallowed Wang Yang’s elixir turned pale, even though his strength was strong, he was ultimately not a Heavenly Demon powerhouse, and the opponents had three Half-Step Celestial Demon experts.

Along with nearly twenty thousand demon soldiers, how could he resist?

The Demon Chief took a deep breath: "You all retreat quickly, I shall hold this place!"

The others were stunned: "But, sir, how will you alone withstand such a multitude of demon soldiers?"

"I have promised, Your Majesty, to hold until the last step, go back and tell Your Majesty, I did not break the promise."

Afterward, this Demon Chief’s entire body began to glow, clearly intending to burn all his power to fight against these demon soldiers to the end!

The other Demon Chiefs could only retreat from the Spirit Mine, after all, the opponent’s numbers were indeed large, and they had too many experts.

Only the last one was left to guard, standing alone atop the Spirit Ore Mountain.

"Hmm? They’ve all escaped, leaving only this one person? What does this mean?"

Some of the demon soldiers attacking the Spirit Mine were puzzled, looking at that person at the highest point.

If they were to escape, why not all escape, and if they wanted to guard the Spirit Mine, why did so many people flee?

Ye Luomo expressed concern: "Only one person left to guard, could there be a trick among them?"

"So what? We have so many experts here, plus so many troops, are we afraid of him alone?"

This person was an elite warrior under Tianyang City, who rushed forward first.

Seeing him advance, others followed suit.

The last guard at the Spirit Mine dashed down from the Spirit Ore Mountain, killing dozens of demon soldiers at first strike.

His power had already been pushed to the extreme, and even Demon Generals of the same realm dared not contend with him.

"It seems this person has gone mad, actually burning his own demon power."

A few others showed slight surprise, wondering what had happened to make this person sacrifice his life?

This battle lasted a full hour, and during this hour the person seemed to have endless power, having killed hundreds of demon soldiers.

But he must have a moment when he is depleted, eventually exhausting his power and half-kneeling on the ground.

"Hmph, it seems he has reached his limit."

A Demon General, holding a long spear, was about to thrust it, but at that instant, the surrounding space seemed to ripple.

"Buzz, buzz..."

The Demon Chief guarding the Spirit Mine seemed to hear a very strange sound, and then a figure flickered into view.

"Your Majesty!"

In the blur, he seemed to see Wang Yang’s figure, but it vanished the next second.

The long spear pierced through the Demon Chief, yet no blood was seen.

The Demon General paused, not understanding what had happened.

Looking back, the Demon Chief had disappeared without a trace.

When he intended to raise the long spear again, he suddenly felt his head grow heavy, and it rolled down to his feet!

"What... What exactly is happening?"

Others panicked too, no one reacted in time.

The Demon General’s head had been severed, and the Demon Chief had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Such anomalous occurrences made the Three Cities’ Lords far away pause as well.

"What’s happening?"

Everyone shook their heads; if they could see what was happening clearly, they wouldn’t have come to such an end.

Then again an invisible light beheaded Ye Luomo.

This invisible power instantly killed hundreds more demon soldiers!

These demon soldiers were all cut in half, as if by a sharp longsword.

These demon soldiers began to fear and fled in panic.

In the chaos, no one noticed a silhouette weaving through the frenzied crowd, leading away the exhausted Demon Chief.

With Wang Yang’s departure, more members of the Demon Clan suddenly appeared, emerging from afar.

A thousand, two thousand, finally reaching over six thousand!

During this time, Wang Yang’s forces evidently expanded again.

These people surged into the Spirit Mine because of the recent anomalous events.

Plus so many Demon Chiefs, the already panicked demon soldiers dared not look back.

The Spirit Mine was finally guarded again, the Three Cities’ Lords’ faces were grim.

Besides the Weishui City Lord’s subordinates, the elite warriors of the other two lords were killed by strange power.

"Your Majesty..."

The now extremely weak Demon Chief, upon seeing Wang Yang, finally showed a serene smile.

Wang Yang gently tapped him, and he fell asleep.

He had expended too much power, and upon waking might restore only to a Half-Step Celestial Demon level.

But this was enough, he fulfilled his promise and met Wang Yang’s expectations.

Wang Yang certainly wouldn’t believe they could fend off so many demon soldiers and generals.

Yet, during this time, they had achieved the desired effect, causing much attrition and motivating his followers.

This battle heavily damaged the Three Cities, and the Spirit Mine wasn’t retaken.

This left them anxious; if this continued, they’d lose not just sesame but also the watermelon.

"What should be done, if these Demon Chiefs occupy the Spirit Mine, all we’ve done before will be in vain."

Tianyang City Lord paced back and forth, heart aching from losing an elite warrior.

Weishui City Lord suddenly spoke: "Why not find Youzhou City Lord, whose strength is formidable and skilled in deploying troops and formations, perhaps he can help us reclaim the Spirit Mine."

Tianyang City Lord immediately rejected: "Hmph, absolutely not, if these bandits collude with him, wouldn’t it be falling into his trap?"

Lord of Duvor City sneered: "Tianyang City Lord has a great heart, if you have such ability to bring these bandits under you, I shall be deeply impressed."

"What do you mean? Do only you suffer losses this time, and I don’t?"

Seeing the two argue, Weishui City Lord quickly intervened: "Stop arguing, the current priority is finding a way to reclaim the Spirit Mine, not pointless bickering here."

Lord of Duvor City spoke: "I agree with Weishui City Lord’s idea, let’s bring Youzhou City Lord, if successful, we can give him one-fourth of the mining rights, if unsuccessful, at least we’ll have someone to share the blame."

Tianyang City Lord, despite reluctance, found it the only viable option now.

On this day, the three personally arrived in Youzhou City, while Youzhou City Lord sat in a garden, sipping tea, admiring flowers.

Youzhou City Lord looked at the three with an amused smile: "Oh? The Three Cities’ Lords actually came personally, I am indeed flattered."

Weishui City Lord chuckled: "Youzhou City Lord seems quite leisurely, enjoying flowers and tea here."

"Stop keeping me in suspense, wouldn’t seek me without a reason, am I right?"

Youzhou City Lord stood up, looking at the three.

The three exchanged glances, then explained the situation.

Of course, Youzhou City Lord was aware of everything, pondering briefly: "You’ve said so much, but essentially wish for me to eradicate the Demon Chief bandits in the Spirit Mine, correct?"

The three nodded repeatedly: "That’s exactly our intent!"

Youzhou City Lord laughed: "But this time, agreeing won’t just earn you a quarter of the mining rights!"
