As the Demon King slowly withdrew from the formation, the gaps in the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Formation began to slowly repair and close thanks to the efforts of the Golden Core cultivators.
The cultivators saw hope again and began to kill the monsters trapped in the formation one by one.
The Blood Demon King outside looked at the bloody hole in his chest and his eyelids twitched.
With its peak sixth-tier strength, although it cannot immediately heal the injury, the wound will eventually close up with the help of the body.
But now, the wound is filled with powerful sword energy, just like before, both suppressing its automatic healing and frantically drilling into the body, trying to further damage the flesh.
"Bai Yan..."
The arrogance that once filled the demon king's eyes was gone; only fear remained.
However, unexpectedly, he did not choose to continue fighting head-on, but instead transformed into human form and fled into the depths of the Wanling Mountains.
Are you kidding me? If we don't run now, are we just waiting to be beaten to death?
Master Bai Yan drew his sword, intending to give chase, but after glancing at the surrounding situation, he sighed silently and went to help the other Golden Core cultivators out of their predicament.
With the great formation repaired, the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Formation resumed operation. This formation, which was originally designed for both offense and defense, once again demonstrated its terrifying power.
"Buzz".
As the spiritual light continued to converge, nine light swords gradually formed in the sky.
At first it was very illusory, but it gradually became more and more solid, and its powerful aura made many Golden Core cultivators present tremble with fear.
A clear and melodious sword cry suddenly rang out between heaven and earth, and nine dazzling beams of light shot into the sky from the array nodes, intertwining in the depths of the clouds to form a sky-covering sword diagram.
At first, it was just a hazy halo, but in the blink of an eye, it condensed into nine towering swords, exuding a chilling and murderous aura.
The oppressive aura emanating from the nine light swords at that moment made the Golden Core cultivators present feel their scalps tingle.
The next moment, all nine swords trembled, and in an instant, the entire battlefield was engulfed by blinding sword light.
The dozen or so third-tier demonic beasts closest to the sword energy didn't even have time to scream before turning into blood mist in the aftershocks.
A certain demon king frantically burned his life essence in an attempt to escape, only to find himself locked in by a great formation. The Spirit Vulture Demon Emperor, who caught a glimpse of this from afar, suddenly narrowed his eyes in surprise:
"This Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Formation is indeed quite impressive."
It had only been a little over ten years since he and Fenyu came to the Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain Range, and this was the first time he had ever seen this great formation in action. Even the Golden Core cultivator felt a dangerous aura emanating from it.
If it were a Nascent Soul cultivator, they would likely suffer considerable damage.
"It's time to go."
The demon emperor glanced at the low-level demon beasts below, whose casualties were almost half, but it was within expectations. As long as they weren't demon kings, he wouldn't care how many died.
Anyway, we've already achieved our goal.
The Spirit Vulture Demon Emperor deflected the natal magic weapon from True Monarch Dianqiu, and then sent a message to the two demon emperors who were still locked in combat:
"Fellow Daoists, it's time for us to retreat."
Nine Spirits Demon Emperor nodded in agreement, but Burning Feather Demon Emperor seemed to still be enjoying the fight.
However, the three demon emperors had reached a consensus beforehand that they should retreat when the time was right and not linger in battle.
Then it revealed its true form, flapped its wings, and was about to flee towards the Wanling Mountains.
"It's actually a Blazing Golden-Winged Roc!"
The Xuanchan Zhenjun, who was locked in combat with it, had an incredulous expression. He was so surprised by this true form that he stood there stunned for a few moments. By the time he came to his senses and tried to give chase, it was already too late.
Seeing Fen Yu retreat, the demon kings present, with the help of the two demon emperors Jiu Ling and Ling Jiu, also used their own methods to escape towards the mountains.
"Cultivators from the six sects, clear out the demonic beasts first."
As True Monarch Dianqiu watched the departing Spirit Vulture Demon Emperor, he and the other Nascent Soul cultivators went to chase after him while simultaneously sending messages to the Golden Core cultivators:
"You guys stay behind and assist, don't follow us."
"Yes."
The few Golden Core cultivators who remained nodded solemnly. They had all suffered considerable injuries, and chasing after them would likely result in their deaths. Staying here was the best course of action.
As the Nascent Soul cultivators departed, they looked down at the city below. At this moment, the entire Tianliu City was filled with corpses, a sight that even Golden Core cultivators found chilling.
This is the first time since the formation was built that a gap has been torn open by a demon beast.
The reason for this is still that array-breaking bead.
But that's not their concern right now, the leader said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, let's deal with these monsters first, and leave the rest to the True Lord and the others."
With the arrival of the Golden Core cultivators, the remaining demonic beasts collapsed within a quarter of an hour, utterly dead.
"Is it over?"
The cultivators who were still able to move looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground, and saw that there were no more demonic beasts standing in their sight. Only then did they feel relieved and wanted to sit down on the ground to rest.
But the surrounding area was almost entirely filled with the corpses of his companions, so he could only find a monster corpse to sit down.
Zhang Lingyu was panting heavily. In fact, she didn't have much magic power left at the end. She could only barely keep her life by relying on talismans. Now, looking at the horrifying scene in front of her, her expression was complicated.
"Spirit Jade!"
A shout came from afar, and Zhang Xingyao led the remaining members of the Zhang family to rush over, asking worriedly, "Are you alright?"
"Don't worry, Chieftain, I'm fine."
He shook his head and looked at the clansmen behind the other party, and found that there were still nine late-stage Qi Refining cultivators and ten mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators left from the clansmen who had come with him.
As for the recruited rogue cultivators, more than half of them were killed or injured.
Zhang Xinghao, Zhang Yuanyi, and the others who survived remained silent, standing quietly behind him.
"Thanks to the talismans and magical artifacts we obtained at Qingfeng Mountain, most of our clansmen were able to save their lives."
Zhang Xingyao's face was filled with grief and helplessness as he choked out:
"Compared to other aristocratic families, our Zhang family is quite fortunate. It's just a pity about the Seventh Elder."
Everyone witnessed Zhang Yuanming's self-disclosure; this clan elder sacrificed himself to protect his descendants.
The boy saw Zhang Lingtai in the crowd. Because the old man had exploded, the remains could not be retrieved. Only some of the clothes and storage bags were recovered.
She is standing silently now, sobbing quietly.
Actually, this is already considered lucky; many cultivators can't even find clothes.
"what!"
Just as everyone was preparing to rest, they heard a scream from afar. A cultivator was rolling around on the ground, and his right hand was gushing blood, obviously having just been cut off.
A Golden Core cultivator descended from mid-air, sword in hand, and said coldly:
"No one is allowed to pick up the storage bags on the ground. Six cultivators will come to collect them later."
"After the great battle is over, each family can come and claim their rights!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately bowed their heads in agreement. After the great battle, there were many petty thieves, and such shameful behavior of picking up corpses has always been despised by the immortals.
Now everyone is looking at that cultivator with cold eyes, wishing they could kill him on the spot.
Just as Zhang Lingyu and the others were sitting cross-legged to recover their magical power, a golden light suddenly flew in from the horizon and was caught in the hand of the Golden Core cultivator.
"This is a top-level flying sword message. What happened?"
His expression turned grave as he quickly processed the message. A moment later, his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed in disbelief:
"Lingyue Mountain has been breached by the Demon King!?"
