Xuan Ling looked at Xiao Man, covered in blood but brimming with fighting spirit, and couldn't understand why Xiao Man would go to such lengths. A mere human, attempting to kill a god? Was she not afraid of death? Cultivators, upon reaching the Transformation Realm, cherished their lives greatly, for cultivation was not easy. Yet, Xiao Man was fearless!
"Xiao Man, why do you fight?" Xuan Ling asked.
"For myself, and for the human race!" Xiao Man replied coldly. "The Celestial Demon race, to control the human race, inflicted a blood poison upon them. If any human disobeyed them, their clan would be exterminated, even their entire race. My ancestor, the Qin clan, was annihilated by them. My parents and family were also harmed by the Celestial Demon race. Among those who were harmed were your parents, wives, children, brothers, and sisters. Do you still wish to fight for the demons?"
"If you wish to accuse, why worry about finding fault?"
"If you wish to accuse, why worry about finding fault?" Xiao Man sneered. "Why was the Heavenly Shield Sect annihilated? What are the Hundred Jians? Do any of you Celestial Demons dare to tell them?"
"The Hundred Jians are demonized humans," Xuan Ling replied.
"Yes, the Hundred Jians are demonized humans, but why do humans become demonized? Because they are disobedient. The Celestial Demons triggered the demon poison within them, which is why they became demonized, turning into the Hundred Jians. This is a method for the Celestial Demons to make humans slaughter each other!"
"Do not be swayed by her demonic words!" Mo Ya reminded Xuan Ling. "She is losing and wants to drag you all down with her. Attack together and kill her!"
"You rely on numbers to bully me?" Xiao Man retreated repeatedly, and with a wave of her hand, hundreds of people appeared behind her.
Qing Ti stepped forward. "These are people from Zhongzhou Street... they... they have all entered the Transformation Realm!"
"Today, we will seek justice for the human race!" Xiao Man pointed her sword at the demon kings in the sky. "You have over a hundred Transformation Realm experts, and I have three hundred Transformation Realm mighty figures. I will also bully the fewer with the many! The Demon King is mine, and this group of scoundrels is yours!"
Jiang Lan stepped forward. "Brother, go ahead. We'll deal with these scoundrels."
The Celestial Demons had initially believed they had the upper hand, but Xiao Man had suddenly produced three hundred Transformation Realm mighty figures. In such a short time, she had transformed all the humans from Zhongzhou Street into Transformation Realm mighty figures. This was simply unbelievable!
"How is it possible that you all became Transformation Realm experts?"
"Without consuming your pills, without cultivating with your techniques, we naturally entered the Transformation Realm!" Jiang Lan replied. "Demons, you have gone too far. Today, you will pay the price. Attack! Don't let any of them escape! Think about the bullying you have suffered, the grievances, and the devilish training during this period. It was all for today, to seek justice from the demons!"
As the crowd charged forward, a bolt of heavenly lightning struck down, instantly hitting a Celestial Demon. The demon turned to ashes before their eyes!
"The Demon Extermination Array of the boss is working! Brothers, charge! Heaven itself is helping us!"
The Celestial Demons, originally confident in their superior numbers and disdain for the humans, had also conscripted the most talented human powerhouses, believing the human race would never be able to resist them. But an accident had occurred!
"Mere humans dare to kill gods! Kill!"
Xuan Ling stood at the center of the battlefield, watching the humans and Celestial Demons clash. His gaze, however, was fixed on Xiao Man, who was fighting the Demon King. The Demon King's cultivation was unfathomable, and he controlled the rules of heaven and earth. Where did she find the courage to confront him?
Nangong Yu helped Xiao Man contain the Demon King. The Demon Extermination Array could not withstand the Demon King's attacks and was showing signs of collapse. Xiao Man alone was no match for the Demon King, who had lived for tens of thousands of years and possessed a cultivation and combat experience far beyond Xiao Man's.
Moreover, the Demon King's understanding of the laws of heaven and earth was more profound than Xiao Man's. If the Demon King managed to shatter the Demon Extermination Array, even with their numerous Transformation Realm experts, they would not be able to defeat him.
"Man'er, the Demon Extermination Array is about to collapse," Nangong Yu warned Xiao Man, having been blasted away once again. Xiao Man summoned both the Gluttonous Beast and the Fire Phoenix. The four of them ganged up on the Demon King.
"Gluttonous Beast, you dare oppose me!" The Demon King was furious upon seeing the Gluttonous Beast. If he hadn't shown mercy and spared the Gluttonous Beast back then, it would have perished long ago. Now, it dared to stand against him!
The Gluttonous Beast sneered. "I've harbored this grudge for a long time, waiting for this day to exact my revenge. What's opposing me? I'm waiting to feast on your flesh!"
"His flesh must be too old and tough to chew, not tasty," Xiao Man interjected opportunistically.
"Stewing it might work. The older it is, the more nutritious the stew!"
"If it's so tough to chew, where would the nutrition come from?" Xiao Man shook her head. "However, his demon core must be highly beneficial."
"It's mine!"
"It's mine!" Huowu flapped its wings and spewed out a stream of Samadhi True Fire, only to be immediately extinguished by the Demon King. "You can't claim everything."
"He can eat anything without restraint, but you can't. I fear you'll get a stomach ache," Xiao Man quickly said. "At that time, I'll pick a few of the smaller ones and stew them for you."
"And I want braised and steamed too."
"Alright, all for you."
"Seeking death!" The Demon King roared. He had sat on the divine throne for too long and had forgotten the taste of being bullied. Now, a mere human dared to provoke his majesty. Did he really think he was a god for nothing?
The giant palm conjured by the Demon King slammed towards Xiao Man. Just as Xiao Man was preparing to block, the attack shifted direction and struck the barrier, causing cracks to appear in the already precarious formation.
"Everyone, stay alert! With the Divine Lord here, we will surely be safe."
Heavenly lightning raged within the barrier, and the Celestial Demons scattered, but they found they couldn't evade it no matter what. They thought heaven was abandoning them, but then they realized the Demon Extermination Array was crumbling under the Demon King's assault. If they could just hold on, they would survive!
"Brothers, we cannot lag behind Boss Xiao. Charge! Killing one is breaking even, killing two is a profit!"
Xuan Ling had retreated to the edge of the battlefield. He sighed silently. Once the Demon Extermination Array was broken, Xiao Man and the others would have no hope of survival. To attempt to fight the Demon King with mere mortal bodies, they were no match.
As Xiao Man and the others were once again blasted away, the Demon King seized the opportunity and unleashed three consecutive palm strikes. The Demon Extermination Array shattered, and the Celestial Demons below cheered. Their morale surged. Su Dan Novel Network
Xiao Man fell to the ground, spitting blood. Despite her thorough preparations, she had still underestimated the Demon King's strength. If this continued, they would all perish here. She had to find a way to turn the tide.
"Well, well, quite lively," a voice boomed. "I wonder, are we a little late?"
Xiao Man quickly looked behind her. Two figures stood in the sky, one black and one red. The black-clad figure was none other than the Demon Lord Yu Ju, and the red-clad one was the Celestial God Xuan Xin!
