The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 704: Chapter 704: Blood Battle Under the City

Boom!!!!!

The earth started shaking as if an earthquake was taking place, but everyone noticed that it only seemed to be this ancient battlefield that was vibrating, with no abnormalities outside.

“We must retreat quickly!” Mei Yingxue said. This place was too bizarre, and no one knew what was going to happen. The safest course of action was to immediately leave.

Just as everyone was about to retreat, the people and demon beasts around them, which resembled stone statues, all turned into powder and disappeared with the wind.

At the same time, the ground under everyone’s feet also started splitting open.

“Not good!” Fang Lin shouted, but everyone had lost their Inner Strength, which meant they had lost the ability to move in mid-air. A series of cries followed, as people fell directly into the crevice.

····

At this moment, outside the Demon Suppressing City, only one remained of the original three arrays, standing defiantly outside the city.

But this last array, too, was under daily attack, relentlessly battered by hordes of demons. It was clear it wouldn’t be able to withstand the onslaught for much longer.

Although many demons had died, not a single Demon King had. And compared to the vast number of demons, the deaths of several hundred or several thousand were inconsequential.

The array’s barrier flickered, on the verge of collapse. It was the last line of defense for the Demon Suppressing City. Once this array collapsed, the hordes of demons would directly assault the city walls, leading to a desperate fight for survival.

The Demon Suppressing King was standing at the city’s head, continuously activating the Demon Suppressing Seal. Every time he used it, a large number of demon beasts were killed.

But for the Demon Suppressing City, it was the powerful Demon Kings that were the real threat, not the Three or Four Transformations demon beasts. Regardless of how many were killed, it wouldn’t solve the underlying problem.

Only by killing enough Demon Kings could the hordes be driven away.

And the biggest threat was already approaching the Demon Suppressing City.

It was the phantom image of the giant turtle!

When the many powerful individuals atop the Demon Suppressing City saw the slow approach of the turtle apparition, they froze in place, their faces filled with despair.

“The Giant Demon King is making his move, we can’t hold the city!” Someone cried out in despair, only for the Demon Suppressing King to cut off his head with one swipe of his sword.

“Those who sow discord within the ranks will be killed without mercy!” The Demon Suppressing King said coldly, his ruthless gaze sweeping over everyone as if warning them.

But even after making an example of someone, the atmosphere inside the city remained tense. Even though they said nothing aloud, many inside had already given up hope.

The pressure brought by the turtle’s apparition was enormous, and even though it wasn’t the physical form of the Giant Turtle Demon King, it was still terrifying.

With only one array remaining to protect the Demon Suppressing City, their situation was already precarious. Now, with the turtle’s apparition approaching, it seemed as if the city would be dealt a fatal blow.

The Demon Suppressing King looked at the phantom image of the giant turtle. His expression was grave, and his eyes were filled with foreboding. He still had measures left unutilized, and Demon Suppressing City still had significant reserves they could call upon. @@novelbin@@

But in the face of this phantom turtle, it seemed like all strategies, all resources were, pathetically inadequate.

At this moment, the Demon Suppressing King found himself questioning the purpose of all he and his ancestors had defended. The so-called suppression of demons appeared to be nothing more than self-deception; when the demon beasts of the Hundred Beast Mountain truly revolted, the grand city couldn’t stop them.

Can it really be defended?

The Demon Suppressing King smiled bitterly. Known throughout Xuan Country as one who held sway over the Ferocious Mountain, he was a hero.

But at this moment, he was raising doubts about his ancestors’ purpose, about the meaning of defending the city.

“Regardless, my roots are here. If the city falls, then I will perish with it.” The Demon Suppressing King said to himself, no longer confused.

Boom!

The hordes of beasts attacked, slamming into the array’s barrier and making it dimmer.

Powerful individuals of all backgrounds made their move. At this moment, no one could afford to slack off; everyone had to give it their all to prevent the demon beasts from attacking the city.

“Beast-killing Guards, leave the city and kill the demons!” The leader of the Beast-killing Guard, a man in his forties, was unremarkable but robust, standing a head taller than most people.

Now, he gave a roar, bowed his fist to the Demon Suppressing King, before leading a group of Beast-killing Guards down from the city wall.

“Kill!!!” The Beast-killing Guards held swords in their right hands and shields in their left, charging out of the array to fight the demon beasts.

This fight was predestined to be a life or death struggle. The Beast-killing Guards were all resolved to stop the demon beasts from continuing the attack on the array, even if just to buy some time.

Of course, the cost of this would be all these Beast-killing Guards. None would be likely to return alive; they were destined to die in battle at the foot of the city.

The leader of the Beast-killing Guards was incredibly powerful, reaching the Spirit Vein realm. With a broadsword in his hands and a spirit treasure to protect him, he was virtually unstoppable amongst the demon beasts.

“Form the formation!” But there were too many demon beasts. The leader of the Beast-killing Guards yelled out to his men, forming a formation to face the enemy.

Having dealt with demon beasts for years, the disciplined Beast-killing Guards of the Demon Suppressing City naturally had a set of formations specially designed to fight the beasts, which could minimize casualties.

The many Beast-killing Guards formed their formation and charged into the pack of demon beasts. The leader of the Beast-killing Guards was even fiercer, fearlessly charging straight at two Demon Kings.

Atop the city walls, seeing the bloody battle unfolding before their eyes, everyone had an expression of sorrow. They were also quietly admiring the Demon Suppressing King; only such a leader could groom such fearless subordinates.

Watching the bloody battle below, the sights of the Beast-killing Guards dying objectionably caused the Demon Suppressing King’s eyes to twitch. He desperately wanted to draw his Longsword and join the Beast-killing Guards in the battle.

But he couldn’t!

The Demon Suppressing City was still standing, and he had to command the situation here. Only when the city was breached, and there was nothing left to worry about could he disregard his life and fight fiercely.

In less than half an hour, all the Beast-killing Guards who leapt off the city wall had fallen in battle without a single one backing away even half a step.

“Kill!!!” The leader of the Beast-killing Guards was still alive. His formidable strength allowed him to contend against the Demon King, and he had a spirit treasure protecting him. He was like a fish in water amidst the beasts.

“Good!” Cheers suddenly erupted from atop the city walls. The leader of the Beast-killing Guards had killed a Demon King, beheading it.

“Demon Suppressing City! Eternal and Invincible!” He stood atop the Demon King’s body, holding its enormous head high, roaring at the horde of beasts.

Upon hearing his roar, everyone was deeply moved. How sad was it, and yet how heroic.

In a flash, a Silver Fox appeared. Its giant tail swept over, targeting only one person — the leader of the Beast-killing Guards.
