Chapter 113: Demon Race Temporarily Retreats
Seeing the massive casualties among the Demon Race, Mo Yuetian quickly adjusted his strategy.
He regrouped the Demon Clan Army.
Each army unit was led by a Void Refinement or Body Integration Demon, keeping a certain distance from each other.
to avoid losing too many in a single wave.
After the adjustment, the Demon Clan Army continued to attack Demon Suppression City.
However, the attack intensity was far less fierce than it had been at the beginning.
The Cultivators on the city wall found it extremely easy to cope.
Everyone either used Divine Abilities and Dharma Treasures, or manipulated Demon-Slaying Crossbows and God-Shattering Cannons.
They concentrated their firepower to attack those demons trying to approach the city wall.
The momentum of offense and defense instantly reversed.
Facing the fierce attacks from the Cultivators on the city wall, the Demon Clan Army was overwhelmed.
They hardly had any chance to spare time to attack the defensive light barrier above Demon Suppression City.
Occasionally, some demons launched attacks at the city light barrier, but they were basically all intercepted by the Cultivators.
If it were not for the ten Great Ascension Realm existences among the demons outside, everyone would have wanted to rush out for a fierce slaughter.
The battle lasted for sixteen days.
Over these sixteen days, the Demon Clan Army continuously launched countless impacts on Demon Suppression City.
However, the defensive light barrier above Demon Suppression City had always been as stable as Mount Tai.
There was no sign of shaking at all.
Fighting to the end, Mo Yuetian had no choice but to order the troops to withdraw and retreat.
In this battle, the Demon Race lost a massive amount of elite power, and even severely injured a Demon God Guard.
As for the battle results?
It could be said to be zero.
Because the Cultivators stood on the city wall and were protected by the defensive Formation, they would not suffer any damage at all.
As for the Heaven Sealing Spirit Banishing Grand Formation, under the brave resistance of the Cultivators, it had not suffered too much consumption either.
With the passage of time, it could quickly recover.
Seeing the Demon Clan Army retreat, Zhang Yuhe flew to Feng Xiaotian's side and said to him,
"Sect Master, there shouldn't be much going on here for the time being. I'll go back to cultivation first."
"Alright."
Feng Xiaotian smiled and nodded in response.
The strength Zhang Yuhe displayed in today's battle deeply shocked him.
Even a Mahayana Middle Stage Demon God Guard could not block a punch from Zhang Yuhe.
As for the Great Ascension Early Stage demons, they did not dare to approach at all.
Although they stood on the city wall and had the blessing effect of the Formation,
everyone's strength would receive a certain enhancement.
However, this kind of enhancement was more of a quantitative improvement and would not bring about a qualitative change.
Wanting to cross realms to fight relying on the enhancement of the Formation was completely impossible.
If that were possible, he wouldn't be dawdling with Mo Yuetian there.
Instead, he would turn around and figure out a way to defeat the other Demon God Guards first.
However, this was impossible.
Feng Xiaotian knew his own strength.
Under the blessing of the Formation, he might be able to fight to a draw with a Mahayana Middle Stage Demon God Guard.
But he definitely wouldn't gain any advantage.
Therefore, he chose to stall Mo Yuetian to get it over with, lest this Mahayana Late Stage Palace Master of the Demon God Palace
bring too much damage to the defensive Formation of Demon Suppression City.
Yet Zhang Yuhe was able to severely injure a Mahayana Middle Stage Demon God Guard with a single punch.
This showed that Zhang Yuhe's strength was much stronger than his.
Thinking that Zhang Yuhe had just promoted to the Great Ascension Realm for less than a year,
he possessed such strong strength.
If he were given a bit more time to cultivation,
once he reached the Mahayana Middle Stage, the demons outside might no longer be anything to worry about.
Feng Xiaotian believed that with Zhang Yuhe's talent, it wouldn't take too much time to cultivation to the Mahayana Middle Stage.
Perhaps in another few hundred to a thousand years, Zhang Yuhe could breakthrough.
What he needed to do now was to stall the Demon Race as much as possible and buy more Cultivation time for Zhang Yuhe.
Feng Xiaotian planned that as long as no major changes occurred, he would not let Zhang Yuhe come out to support again.
Zhang Yuhe flew back to Galaxy Peak, leaving his three thousand Incarnations on the city wall to continue defending.
As for his main body, he returned to Galaxy Peak, intending to enter closed-door Cultivation.
Unless the Demon Race could truly threaten the safety of Demon Suppression City,
otherwise, he would cultivation until the Mahayana Middle Stage before coming out of seclusion.
Zhang Yuhe threw out the Spirit Gathering Tower and then stepped into the nine-tier cultivation platform in one stride.
...
The Demon Clan Army retreated, and the entire Demon Suppression City was in an uproar.
Under everyone's brave efforts, the fierce, tide-like offensive of the Demon Race was finally repelled.
After this battle, the towering image of Ancestor Zhang became even more deeply rooted in people's hearts.
In this great battle, many Cultivators saw Ancestor Zhang severely injure a Great Ascension Realm demon with a single punch.
Furthermore, he materialized three thousand Incarnations, every single one of which possessed Void Refinement Realm strength.
The three thousand Incarnations were like three thousand mighty artillery batteries, beating the Demon Clan Army to a pulp and making them completely unable to approach the city wall.
Ancestor Zhang's powerful strength and miraculous Incarnation Divine Ability left everyone extremely in awe.
In everyone's view,
even without the help of other Cultivators, Ancestor Zhang alone could firmly guard Demon Suppression City.
With Ancestor Zhang being so mighty, what is there to fear about the Demon Race?
...
Compared to Demon Suppression City where the Cultivators were excited and boiling with enthusiasm,
the Demon God Palace was dead silent.
After successive battles, they did not get the results they wanted.
Although everyone was mentally prepared for the defense of Demon Suppression City,
Demon Suppression City was, after all, a stronghold painstakingly managed by the Dao Saint Sect.
It was indeed not that easy to break through.
What surprised everyone was that after successive battles, they actually hadn't made the slightest progress.
If things continued this way, when on earth would they be able to break through Demon Suppression City?
Could they still break through Demon Suppression City?
In the hearts of all the Demon God Guards, they had completely no confidence.
Mo Yuetian sat at the upper seat, tapping his fingers gently on the table, and suddenly asked,
"Gu Xiao, how much longer do you think the defensive Formation of Demon Suppression City can hold out?"
Gu Xiao silently considered for a moment before slowly speaking,
"Reporting to the Palace Master, the Heaven Sealing Spirit Banishing Grand Formation has a certain automatic recovery capability."
"If we use our previous attack intensity, I'm afraid we won't be able to break it even after fighting for a hundred years."
"To break the defensive Formation of Demon Suppression City, we can only increase the attack intensity further."
Hearing Gu Xiao's words, before Mo Yuetian could speak, the other Demon God Guards present instantly erupted in commotion.
"What? Increase the attack intensity even more? We already tried our best just now."
"Yeah, if we strengthen the attack intensity further, how many people will have to die?"
"Exactly, these armies are all elites from the Sacred World. Are we going to let them all die here?"
"Why don't we simply take the Flowing Cloud Corridor as the boundary and occupy the east of Yu Fantian for now."
The Demon God Guards spoke one after another, expressing their opposition to continuing to strengthen the attack intensity.
Some people had even started to think about backing out.
Successive attacks had already severely damaged the Demon Clan Army, and they were somewhat afraid of Zhang Yuhe.
If they had a choice, they wouldn't want to continue attacking the city, let alone strengthen the attack intensity.
Hearing the words of the Demon God Guards,
Mo Yuetian suddenly stood up, flicked his sleeves, and rebuked loudly,
"Alright, stop arguing. The losses of the army can be replenished, but the attack on Demon Suppression City must absolutely not stop."
"Once the Dao Saint Sect recovers their wits, how can we still gain a foothold in Yu Fantian in the future?"
"That Zhang Yuhe, you have all seen him."
"Right now he is only at the Great Ascension Early Stage, yet he is already so difficult to deal with."
"Once this person breaks through to the Mahayana Middle Stage, what will we do then?"
"Therefore, I have decided to replenish manpower from the rear and continue to strengthen the attack on Demon Suppression City. We swear not to withdraw until this city is broken."
"Yes, Palace Master."
Hearing Mo Yuetian's words, the Demon God Guards could only nod and respond helplessly.
Since the Palace Master wanted to fight, then they would fight.
Anyway, those sent to die were low-tier Demon Cultivators, and they themselves would not take risks.
They certainly didn't want to end up like Ren Tong.
Didn't they see that Ren Tong's face beside them was still pale?
That move Galaxy Divine Dragon Fist by Zhang Yuhe had brought him extremely heavy injuries.
It would probably take several decades of recuperation to slowly recover.
