Chapter 295: Cat and Mouse, Rules of the Demon Realm (2)
Yao Ji’s eyes flickered, and he suddenly let out a sharp cry.
The demonic beast army attacking the Huaxia Pavilion’s Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch suddenly retreated.
Just as the demonic beast army was about to attack the camp, they suddenly retreated.
Although they didn’t know what was going on, Mei Wushang and the others were relieved.
“Damn!” Yao Buqi looked at the sword pressed against his neck. He wanted to curse, but he didn’t dare.?These bastards, when we were in the Demon Realm, they all acted like they were my boss. Why aren’t they killing these people now?
“Mei Wushang!” Yin Wuyou shouted.
“Yes!” Mei Wushang responded.
“Take a headcount!”
“Yes!” Mei Wushang roared.
After a moment, he raised his voice and said, “Your Highness, in this battle, fourteen people on our side died. Sixty-eight people are still alive, eight seriously are injured, and the rest are all slightly injured.”
Mei Wushang sounded pained.
They had less than a hundred people to begin with, but now they had lost more than ten in the battle.
The enemy hadn’t even sent out an expert yet. How were they going to fight next?
Even a man like Mei Wushang felt a weight on his back, an unbearable feeling.
Yin Wuyou fell silent.
She didn’t know why Zhou Shu was so confident that he could guard this camp. In her opinion, it was impossible for them to do this with their current strength.
Previously, they were already unable to resist the 5,000-strong demonic beast army.
Now, another 5,000 demonic beasts had arrived!
Moreover, if she wasn’t wrong, there were two first-rank humanoid demonic beasts in this army of 10,000 demonic beasts.
Even though they had an expert like Zhou Shu, what could they do?
Zhou Shu alone might not even have a chance of winning against the two first-rank humanoid demonic beasts. Coupled with the army of 10,000 demonic beasts, they had no chance of winning.
In fact, as long as Zhou Shu was held back by the enemy, he might even be surrounded by the army.
Yin Wuyou’s sparkling eyes revealed determination.
No matter what, she couldn’t let Zhou Shu be surrounded by the army.
Even if all of them died, they had to fight for a chance for Zhou Shu to escape.
She calculated in her heart. With her second-rank Martial Dao cultivation, if she didn’t care about her life, she could still hold back a first-rank martial artist for a moment!
…
“Yao Ji, why did you stop fighting? Do you want to make use of them to kill Yao Buqi?” Yao Qing said coldly. “That’s right. Everyone in the Demon Realm knows that you’ve taken a fancy to Yao Buqi’s concubine. You’ve been rejected several times, but now is a good opportunity.”
Yao Ji looked at Yao Qing in surprise.?This stupid black bear has such thoughts?
The corners of his mouth turned up a little. “Yes. If Yao Buqi dies here, all his concubines will be mine. Why not?”
Yao Qing was slightly taken aback. He had never been good at bickering. Yao Ji’s reaction left him speechless.
Yao Ji sneered.?You want to bicker with me, kid? You think you’re qualified?
His eyes narrowed, and he smiled grimly. “You have to let your preys’ fear grow bit by bit. When their fear reaches its limit, send them on their way. That’s what makes hunting fun.”
Yao Ji licked his lips, his eyes flickering with a cold light.?There’s obviously a trap. You want me to be the pathfinder? What makes you think you’re able to hide your thoughts from me?
“Yao Qing, do you know how beautiful the terrified eyes of your prey are?” Yao Ji bared his teeth in a smile. “From now on, I will send a wave of attackers every two hours. Have your men join them.”
“Are you giving me orders?” Yao Qing sneered.
They didn’t have the history of leading each other.
“Yao Qing, the lord already knows about what happened here. If Yao Buqi dies, neither of us will be able to escape responsibility.”
Yao Ji sneered. “What do you think the lord will think if I tell him that your people were just watching by the side? Will he give you a chance to explain?”
Yao Qing’s eyes narrowed, and a grim expression crossed his face.
The hierarchy in the Demon Realm was strict. Even they, who were qualified to have the Yao surname, would die if they provoked an existence like a great demon. No one would stand up for them.
Why?
In the Demon Realm, whoever was stronger had the last say.
“Hmph, so be it. I’ll send as many men as you send.” Yao Qing snorted.
Yao Ji’s eyes flashed with pride.
Yao Qing, you want me to scout the way for you? Dream on.
I want to see what’s so strange about this small camp that it could trap Yao Buqi and make you hesitate.
Although Yao Qing wasn’t smart, he was extraordinarily bold.
There were many people in the Demon Realm who wanted to defeat Yao Wudi, but only Yao Qing dared to announce it.
…
In Huaxia Pavilion’s Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch…
Mei Wushang and the others buried their fallen comrades, then each simply bandaged their wounds.
“Maintain and repair your weapons on the spot.”
Mei Wushang said solemnly, “Brothers, today is the day we die for our country!”
He had already seen figures moving in the distant Demon Realm army camp. Clearly, the demonic beasts were preparing for battle.
There was almost no chance that they could withstand another wave of attacks.
“Your Highness!” Mei Wushang cupped his hands at Yin Wuyou.
“When the enemy attacks later, please leave this person to me. Your Highness, escort His Highness out of this place,” Mei Wushang said sternly.
“He’s a first-rank martial artist. You can’t control him.” Yin Wuyou shook her head. Zhou Shu didn’t need her protection. It was more suitable for her to stay and block the enemy.
“I can do it!” Mei Wushang said seriously. “His Highness taught me the peerless divine technique Golden Bell Shield. I was fortunate enough not to disappoint him and have already cultivated to the eighth level!”
If Zhou Shu heard what Mei Wushang said, he would definitely be shocked.
Back then, he had spent a lot of time increasing his Golden Bell Shield Technique to the eighth level.
Mei Wushang had only used a short time to cultivate to the eighth level.
Mei Wushang was really relying on himself to cultivate.
Talent was sometimes an unreasonable thing.
In time, it might not be impossible for Mei Wushang to reach perfection in the Golden Bell Shield Technique.
At the perfected twelfth level of the Golden Bell Shield Technique, he could fight a first-rank martial artist.
Mei Wushang’s Golden Bell Shield Technique was at the eighth level. He might not necessarily lose to a fourth-rank martial artist now.
His spiritual essence cultivation was only at the sixth rank of the Martial Dao.
This was the advantage of his physical strength.
This was why Mei Wushang dared to say that if he used his full strength, he could kill Yao Buqi, whose cultivation was sealed.
Yin Wuyou shook her head. Before she could speak, she saw hundreds of demonic beasts leaving the camp of the Demon Realm Army in the distance and heading in their direction.
“Say no more, General Mei. Prepare for battle.”
Yin Wuyou pulled out her sword.
Mei Wushang had never been good with words. He nodded and gripped the Heavenly Halberd.?Since Her Highness is unwilling to leave, I will use my life to protect Her Highness!
He growled as a faint white light lit up around him. His Golden Bell Shield Technique was actually showing signs of breaking through to the ninth level.
“Kill!”
On the walls, the dozens of remaining Great Xia soldiers let out a shocking roar in unison. With their swords unsheathed, they were invincible!
Boom!
Hundreds of demonic beasts collided with the steel city walls. The walls shook, and the demonic beasts had already pounced onto the city walls.
Swish!
There was the sound of weapon piercings into flesh. Blood instantly stained the walls.
This blood belonged to demonic beasts and humans.
Mei Wushang ignored the attacks of the demonic beasts and kept swinging his Heavenly Halberd. One by one, the demonic beasts were swept off the city walls. The attacks of the demonic beasts only left white marks on his body. There wasn’t even any blood.
As someone who cultivated the Golden Bell Shield Technique, he had a huge advantage on the battlefield.
In the distance, Yao Ji noticed Mei Wushang and clicked his tongue in wonder.
“Yao Qing, does this human have the bloodline of your bear demon?”
Yao Qing snorted and ignored him.
“Interesting. Crane One, Crane Two, go take that man down. Try to take him alive. I’m interested in him.” Yao Ji licked his lips.
Behind him, two bird-type demonic beasts spread their several-meter-long wings, soared into the sky with a roar, and rushed toward Mei Wushang.
