Chapter 726
The humans were no match for them and kept retreating.
"Kill! Kill all these humans!"
Compared to the humans, the demons were not only orderly, but their attacks were also very brutal. They had already killed many humans with their Primordial Elixir realm.
Boom! A huge tremor suddenly shook the heavens and the earth as a demon self-destructed.
Not all demons were strong, but humans were not necessarily weak either. After swallowing a Blood Explosion Pill, a human's Primordial Elixir realm suppressed a demon. However, before he could kill the demon, the demon took the opportunity to self-destruct.
The two sides had not fought for long, but the humans had already suffered heavy casualties.
Under the command of the leader of the overlord forces, the humans only managed to launch a few effective counterattacks before they began to collapse.
The leader of the demons was a guy with long ears that looked like dog ears. Looking at the corpses on the ground and the fleeing humans, his face was full of pride. The humans were indeed very weak. They had been defeated in a surprise attack. It seemed that the humans had no other advantages other than the fact that the females were slightly prettier.
"Kill all the humans."
The dog-eared demon commanded from the rear and did not go forward to kill the enemies. He had already killed so many that he did not want to kill anymore.
The demons attacked again.
The humans continued to retreat in the midst of the demons' attacks. However, at this moment, a demon discovered a group that was trying to escape.
"Sir, there is a group of humans trying to escape. The strongest is only a mid-stage Primordial Elixir realm cultivator. There are three early-stage Primordial Elixir realm cultivators, and one of them is a human beauty." The demon pointed at Zi Chen, who was leaving with his subordinates.
The dog-eared demon turned his head and saw a group of humans trying to escape. In the middle of the group, there was indeed a beauty. The moment he saw the beauty, the dog-eared demon's eyes widened. He was deeply attracted by Yue Er's beauty.
"She is indeed a human beauty. Her beauty is unparalleled among the humans. To be able to find her here is almost a stroke of luck. You guys continue to attack. I will kill the fleeing humans."
The dog-eared demon's eyes shone with a lustful light. The next moment, he rushed in the direction Zi Chen and the others had left. As a late-stage Primordial Elixir realm cultivator and the leader, his battle power was naturally strong. He was not afraid of these humans at all.
"There are so many leaders, and the team is already weak. Now, it's even more scattered. Everyone is trying to preserve their strength. No one is willing to use their full strength. It's practically impossible for them to defeat the Monster Clan." At this moment, the demonic ape who had left was criticizing the battered forces. Its tone was full of disappointment.
Zi Chen's group did not kill the demons. Under such circumstances, all the forces could only suffer a great loss and truly sense the danger. Only then would they come to their senses and put aside their selfish desires to unite against the enemy.
"Zi Chen, a demon with dog ears is charging towards us. Should we kill him?" The demon ape saw the dog ears and asked Zi Chen.
"That Dog Ears is the leader of the Shifters. Ignore him. Let's go." Zi Chen wanted to let the selfish factions suffer a little, so he didn't plan to make a move.
The group began to speed up.
However, when he saw Zi Chen's group speeding up, the dog-eared demon thought that they were afraid. He laughed sinisterly from afar.
"You humans will all die, but I won't kill this woman. I will take you back to be my concubine. As long as you serve me well, I will let you have a good life in the Shifters' Territory." The dog-eared demon approached from afar. His greedy eyes wandered over Shangguan Yue'er's body. The more he looked, the more he fell in love with her.
"Zi Chen, this guy is too bold. Should we kill him?" The demonic ape asked again.
Zi Chen stopped and turned around. His calm eyes were filled with killing intent. He said coldly, "Kill him. Be decisive and direct."
The demonic ape nodded, indicating that he understood.
The fleeing humans suddenly stopped. The dog-eared demon's smug expression became more obvious. In his opinion, these people knew that they could not escape and knew that they would die. They either stopped to beg for mercy or to hand over the beauty in exchange for a chance to live.
"Are you stopping because you want to use the beauty in exchange for your lives? Let me tell you, that's impossible."
The dog-eared demon pointed at Zi Chen and shouted, "That human, how dare you hold the beauty with your filthy hands. I will cut off your hands first and gouge out your eyes before I let you die."
The dog-eared demon approached while shouting. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong. As he approached, these humans did not open their mouths to beg for mercy, nor did they show the determined expression of someone who was about to die.
There was no fear or other complicated emotions on their faces. Instead, they were very calm. However, there was a hint of pity in this calmness. It was just like how he usually faced the human women who were about to die after being toyed with by him. As for the human men, when he faced them, there was a hint of cruelty in this calmness.
Whether it was compassion or cruelty in this calmness, it was indeed an expression that would only appear when looking at a dead person.
"How is this possible? With just these humans?" The dog-eared demon did not believe that these humans could kill him.
The dog-eared demon had already approached the group of humans. In front of the humans, there was a tall guy who looked like a demon. When he approached, he waved at Zi Chen.
He waved as a greeting, a gesture of goodwill.
Just as the dog-eared demon was puzzled, he felt an inexplicable energy suddenly imprisoning him. The turbulent energy in the demon core in his body receded like the tide.
He suddenly lost control of his body and could not move. The energy in his body could not be controlled. Like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, a look of horror appeared on the dog-eared demon ape's face. At this moment, the demon ape, who had just greeted him, raised a black rod that had appeared in his hand out of nowhere.
After the black rod was raised above his head, it smashed down like a black dragon with terrifying power.
"No."
The black rod smashed down. The dog-eared demon felt the aura of death. At this critical moment, the potential in his body erupted and directly broke through the energy imprisoning him. His body could move in the next moment, and the energy in his body was once again under his control.
But at this moment, the black rod had already landed on his head. The dog-eared demon ape's reaction was still too slow.
Previously, everyone had only heard an extremely shrill cry. When they turned their heads, they saw the demon ape smashing the dog-eared demon's head with the rod.
"Boom!"
The energy surged, and the sky and earth trembled. As the leader of the demon tribe, the dog-eared demon was blown up with a single strike.
His body exploded, leaving behind only a demon core and a spirit ring.
The demon ape killed the enemy with a single strike. It was indeed direct and decisive.
The moment the dog-eared demon beast was blown up, the battle paused for a moment. The battlefield became dead silent.
Everyone's gaze fell on the demonic ape.
The eyes of the humans were filled with shock, excitement, and excitement. They knew that the demon ape was not the only one with such combat power in the group. The demons looked at the demon ape with fear in their eyes. Who said that the demon tribe did not know fear? It was just that they had not met anyone worthy of being afraid.
Their leader was killed with a single blow. While the demons were still in shock, they were already thinking about how to escape alive. However, what happened next stunned everyone present, including humans and demons.
They saw that the elite who killed the dog-eared demon beast, after taking the demon core and spirit ring, turned around and left with the others.
They left. They left just like that. They were so direct and direct.
They actually left. They didn't go and kill the monsters.
The faces of the human cultivators were filled with shock and disbelief. They were all humans. Shouldn't they work together to destroy the demons?
The demons were stunned at first, but when they saw the other's figure disappear quickly, they were relieved. They thought that humans were indeed the most scheming.
Then, the expressions of the demons became even more ferocious.
The fierce battle broke out again.
Their leader was killed, but the demons did not feel the chaos of losing their leader. Instead, they became even crazier. They shouted that they would avenge their leader and launched fierce attacks at their opponents. If they could not win, they would self-destruct.
As for the humans, their morale was at an all-time low. They all felt very wronged. Zi Chen did not attack the demons, but turned around and left. This was heartless and unjust. Now that the leader who killed the leader of the demons had left, the demons did not chase after him. But they all gritted their teeth and treated them as the murderers.
Every one of them felt aggrieved and wronged. Naturally, their battle power dropped to an all-time low. If not for the many late-stage Primal Core elites barely holding on, they would have been slaughtered in this battle.
"Everyone, hold on. Reinforcements will be here soon." The leader of the Overlord forces shouted in vain.
Zi Chen did not care about the outcome of the battle. There were only so many demons. It was not enough to kill all the leaders.
"Zi Chen, we really don't want to save them." Beside him, Yue Er looked at Zi Chen.
Zi Chen shook his head and said decisively, "No. If we save them now, they will feel that it is natural. They will also have extravagant hopes in their hearts. When we attack the demons, they will not work hard."
"That's right."
Monk, who had been silent all this time, nodded and said, "We are all part of the same force. They all want to preserve their strength. Naturally, we have to preserve our strength too. Before the alliance is formed, if the enemy does not attack us, we will not attack the enemy. Moreover, we want to kill the demons for their sake. As for ourselves, even if we break into the demons' base, we can enter and leave as we like."
"Alright, this matter is over. Now, focus on killing the ancient beasts." Zi Chen waved his hand.
Zi Chen and the rest left to kill the ancient beasts to accumulate resources. After the battle lasted for fifteen minutes, everyone dispersed.
The reinforcements from the Bedlam Lands had arrived. The demons began to retreat. As they retreated, no one dared to go forward to kill.
The demons had already beaten everyone to a pulp.
In this battle, the Bedlam Lands had suffered heavy losses. Even two of their leaders had died in the chaos.
As a result, the other leaders were even more frightened. Compared to other Primal Core elites, they were more concerned about their own lives. Thus, they had already begun to think of retreating.
After the crushing defeat, everyone pushed the blame to Zi Chen. They believed that Zi Chen had left alone and did not save them. That was why they had suffered such heavy losses.
The leaders of the Bedlam Lands did not speak, but their ugly expressions showed that they were in an extremely bad mood.
After less than two hours of being the leader, they found that it was not easy to be the leader here. It seemed that it was even more difficult to unite everyone against the demons.
