Chapter 58: Ah Chuan is Here!

With a flash, Liu Qiyue appeared beside Dean Zhong Qianhe . They joined forces to pin down the two terrifying demon commanders .

“Dean,” Liu Qiyue said in a low voice . “The special flame is very draining on my Quintessential Energy . I can only fire another 80 arrows at most . ”

Dean Zhong wasn’t surprised . Liu Qiyue was only at the late-stage of the Mortal Shedding realm . It was difficult for her to maintain the Phoenix Divine Body’s abilities .

“Don’t be anxious . We’ll try our best to stall for time,” said Dean Zhong with a voice transmission . “We will stall them for as long as we can! As long as the Godfiends win, we’ll be saved . ”

“Yes . ” Liu Qiyue nodded and shot arrows with all her might .

“You can shoot slower,” said Dean Zhong with a voice transmission . “I’ll use my full strength . Just support me . As long as we can hold back the two commanders, that’s enough . ”

“Okay . ” Liu Qiyue was extremely solemn .

…

“We can’t delay . Any delay might lead to unforeseen circumstances . Perhaps, a Godfiend might come to save this human woman who has awakened her phoenix bloodline,” said Commander Wyrm with a voice transmission to his companion . “We have to be fast . As long as we capture this human woman alive, we will immediately send her back to Nine Convocation fief and offer her to the Mountain Lord . ”

“Yes, you’re right . As long as we capture this woman, sacrificing all the demons under us will be worth it . ” Commander Ox agreed as well . The demons followed the law of the jungle and thought nothing of the ordinary demons beneath them . In fact, these brutal and bloody battles were something the demons were pleased to see . A brutal battle would cause many weak demons to die and also temper the powerful demons .

Wasn’t it good to save on food while grooming the strong if more died?

Therefore, the human Godfiends that presided over important city passes would often encounter demon attacks .

“Charge! The two of us will hold back the two sharpshooters . Destroy this Blazing Sun Castle!” Commander Ox roared .

“Charge, destroy Blazing Sun Castle!” Commander Wyrm gave the same order .

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

Immediately, a group of demon lieutenant commanders charged forward with a large number of demons . When the two armies gathered, their numbers increased greatly . Liu Qiyue and Dean Zhong were busy holding back the two commanders . This made it easy for the lieutenant commanders . In just a few seconds, they rushed to the bottom of Blazing Sun Castle .

The dense horde of demons immediately leaped up towards the windows .

“Fire!” Large bolts shot out from the windows and penetrated the demons’ bodies . However, there were too many demons . Some managed to jump up to the windows .

“Brothers, charge!” A large group of human experts was inside the castle . They blocked the demons that were flooding in through the windows .

The battle at Blazing Sun Dao Academy had entered a brutal melee fight!

One demon after another charged in . There were even lieutenant commanders leading the charge . The moment the lieutenant commanders struck out with their axes, the ballistae exploded . The soldiers and disciples who were operating the ballistae were sent flying backward as blood splattered everywhere . They were instantly killed .

“Kill!” The human experts held the terrain advantage . Thanks to the windows, they could fight numbers that exceeded theirs . They killed demon after demon . The demons fell to the ground .

When Dean Zhong saw this cruel scene, his eyelids twitched, and he immediately ordered, “Light up the fire beacon and release the smoke . ”

“Yes . ” Immediately, one of the lecturers responded and went to light the fire beacon .

Lighting the fire beacon meant that a Dao Academy had reached a dire situation . It wouldn’t be long before it was completely destroyed .

Soon, one of the large smoke pipes in Blazing Sun Castle billowed with smoke—which rose into the sky . The entire Eastcalm Prefecture could see it . Whoever had survived in Eastcalm Prefecture knew what this scene meant—Blazing Sun Dao Academy was in a desperate situation and was requesting help!

The bloody battle in Blazing Sun Castle continued .

“Die . ” A muscular man wielding a shield and a great-axe chopped down upon a demon lieutenant commander . His body was covered in blood, and his eyes were red . But then, two lieutenant commanders joined forces and charged towards him . “A human expert who has comprehended Force . Join forces and kill him . ”

The advantage the demons had with their overall strength was too great .

The lieutenant commanders were all formidable . The greater demons were comparable to those with Seamless realm bodies . Many of them had reached the Unity realm . Even if humans had the advantage of terrain, they were still suppressed and forced to retreat constantly .

As the number of demons that ascended Blazing Sun Castle increased, the humans began to lose their terrain advantage .

“I really can’t hold on any longer . ” Dean Zhong looked at the pale-faced Liu Qiyue—who had used up all her Quintessential Energy . Yet, she had begun desperately casting forbidden spells . He then looked at the human warriors—who were forced to retreat—frantically fending off the demons . Be it the experienced soldiers, the retired soldiers, or the young disciples of the Dao Academy, all of them were using forbidden spells to fight for their lives .

There was no way out . They could only give it their all .

“Each one we take down counts . If I can take down two, it will be worth it!” A crippled veteran charged forwards and put himself between the Dao Academy disciples and the demons .

“Senior Sister Yi, if we survive, will you marry me?”

“Yes, I promise you . ”

“Dad, I’ve killed demons as well . ” The young disciples also went into a frenzy . They had reached the Marrow Cleansing realm and were considered to have great potential among their generation . However, they had already been forced into a corner .

Tears streamed down their faces as they watched their fellow disciples die in battle . They were also going all out .

“Are we still going to lose?” Liu Qiyue—who had used forbidden Godfiend spells—was trembling slightly . “Dad and Ah Chuan… I really want to see them again . ”

At that moment, Liu Qiyue missed her father terribly as well as Ah Chuan .

As a sharpshooter, Liu Qiyue often used Quintessential Energy to nourish her eyes . This allowed her to see things that were very far away clearly . As she stared at the two demon commanders—who were located far away from Blazing Sun Castle—while shooting at them, she suddenly noticed a figure clad in lightning charge over .

“That’s…” Liu Qiyue couldn’t help but tear up . They grew up together . Although the figure was very fast, she was certain . “Ah Chuan! Ah Chuan is here!”

“Ah Chuan!” Liu Qiyue suddenly let out a hiss, her voice sounding a little shrill . “Leave! Don’t come here! Leave, do you hear me!?”

The entire Blazing Sun Dao Academy was in a dire situation . Before the Godfiend realm, it was impossible for mortals to rescue them with their individual strength . In the eyes of almost all mortals—including Liu Qiyue and Dean Zhong—the dire situation that Blazing Sun Dao Academy was facing now was only salvageable if a Godfiend came to save them .

“There’s a human . ” The demons—who were still charging forward—discovered a lightning-clad figure charging towards them .

“How dare you attack our demon army . You must be tempting fate . ”

“Tear him apart . ”

These demons wouldn’t dare to defend against such a fast-moving human in a one-on-one fight . But now that they were two armies combined, they were surrounded by a dense cluster of allies! Their numbers bolstered their confidence . They felt that as long as it wasn’t a Godfiend, they would be able to tear anyone apart if they dared to charge in .

“Kill him . ”

“Squash him!”

A group of demons threw their flying axes or spat out venom . Others spewed threads, attempting to pin Meng Chuan down .

Swoosh!

The lightning-clad figure blurred as it streaked across the sky . Meng Chuan easily avoided many obstacles and charged into the demon horde .

“This human really has a death wish . ” The demons rushed over crazily . Since demons were attacking Blazing Sun Castle, a dense horde of demons surrounded the castle . Instantly, nearly a hundred demons charged towards Meng Chuan with confidence .

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Six dazzling arc-ing saber beams swept across the area . Each beam was dozens of feet long, and their speed terrifying . The demons were packed too close to each other and couldn’t dodge in time .

With just six saber beams, he sliced through nearly a hundred demons that had come charging at him . Instantly, the entire area was filled with dismembered demon bodies . This caused the castle siege to falter slightly as many demons couldn’t help but look over . After all, the two armies combined numbered about two thousand demons . And nearly a hundred had died in the blink of an eye?

The soldiers, retired veterans, and Dao Academy disciples naturally noticed as well .

They saw a bolt of lightning rapidly charge through the demons . Six blinding saber beams whistled through the air . Many demons were culled like wheat being harvested .

“You two deal with the other demons . Leave the two commanders to me . ” A voice resounded throughout Blazing Sun Dao Academy as the lightning-clad figure headed straight for the two demon commanders .
