Chapter 182 182: Involved
" These Demons are strong, but at the end of the day, they aren't real demons. They are artificially created. If they were real demons, their strength would've been stronger than the Divine Queen herself."
Xu Shan placed the glass of wine to the side, before standing up. He patted the dust off his clothes. "Of course I'll have to get involved."
....
Elsewhere, a group of cultivators attempted to protect the civilians, urging them to evacuate to safety. But the demons were relentless, and they seemed to target the weak with particular malice. Amidst the chaos, a mother clutched her child tightly, her eyes filled with terror as a demon closed in on them.
Just as the demon lunged forward, a flash of silver caught its attention. Another powerful cultivator, her robes billowing in the wind, swiftly intercepted the attack, clashing her sword against the demon's clawed hand. Her eyes blazed with determination as she shielded the mother and her child from harm.
It was clear that this cultivator possessed extraordinary strength and skill, yet the difference in strength of the Demon was evident.
With each strike of her sword, she sent waves of energy rippling through the air, pushing the demon back. The mother and her child watched in awe and relief, their faith in humanity renewed.
Summoning her strength, Lan leaped through the air, intercepting the demon just in time.
She traded blows with the creature, her determination matched only by her will to protect the innocent. More Immortal Cultivators joined her in the battle, and together, they formed a formidable wall of defense around the vulnerable civilians.
Over ten Cultivators were stopping a single demon while the woman ran away, holding her child tightly.
As the day wore on, the city's resistance showed no sign of faltering, but neither did the demons' onslaught. The Immortal Cultivators were pushed to their limits, their resources strained as they attempted to subdue the relentless invaders.
The energy of the Cultivation World hummed with tension, the clash between god-like beings reverberating across the land.
Unfortunately, in the meantime, quite a lot of Demons had reached the barrier. Every other Celestial Warrior outside was busy in battles with the rest of the feelings.
Just seventy percent of the demons had managed to hold back all the Guards in the Outer Zone, bringing the City to its knees. Moreover, not a single Demon was killed so far. Only a few had received significant wounds.
The other thirty percent of the Demons stood before the barrier. Using their fists, they started attacking the barrier. Their strength made the barrier flicker with each passing second. No matter how strong the barrier was, but under the constant attack, it was clear that it couldn't last long.
Amidst a desolate landscape, the ground trembled with an ominous energy as two towering demons emerged faced Xue. While tens of Celestial Guards were needed to hold back a single Demon, Xue was holding back two alone.
The eyes of Demons glowed with a malevolence that sent chills down everyone's spine, and their colossal forms exuded a palpable aura of darkness.
As the demons bellowed in challenge, Xue's robes fluttered with a gust of his Qi. He drew his gleaming swords, their blade crackling with electricity, and a confident smirk tugged at the corners of his lips.
"Let's see if you're as strong as you appear!"
His heart pounded in his chest, adrenaline coursing through his veins, as he faced the monstrous adversaries before him.
Without a moment's hesitation, Xue unleashed his power. He channeled his Celestial Energy, and the air around him shimmered with an otherworldly glow. In a blur of motion, he darted towards the demons, his movements as swift as a striking serpent.
The first demon swung its massive claw at him, but Xue expertly dodged the attack, his agility allowing him to evade the crushing blow.
With a graceful spin, he counterattacked, his sword singing through the air. Arcs of lightning danced along its edge, slicing through the demon's tough hide and drawing forth a roar of agony.
A two inch deep wound was left on the Demon's chest, but to Xue's surprise, the wound healed right before his eyes.
Xue was taken aback by the strange discovery. Not only were these beings strong, but they also had such powerful healing? He didn't understand just where these people came from, without the City having any idea.
It was as if they just appeared inside the city, out of thin air. He was clear that someone had helped these things invade but at the moment, he didn't have time to think about that. He grabbed his Swords firmly.
"Your healing isn't bad. Though I really wonder if you'll be able to regrow your head!" Xue revealed an intent to fight.
The Demon let out a low growl. With a swift movement, it lunged towards Xue, allowing its instincts to guide its every strike. As the battle raged on, he noticed that no matter how grievous his injuries, the beings seemed to quickly mend themselves, their wounds magically closing.
Xue tried to take off the head of one of the Demons, but it was proving to be much harder since the second demon kept interfering. He was sure he could've killed a Demon if the second demon wasn't here, or if someone was here to hold the second demon back.
The second demon lunged at him, its ferocity matched only by its hunger for destruction. It summoned dark tendrils of energy from the ground, attempting to ensnare Xue in a sinister trap.
"You keep irritating me!" Xue roared, furiously, as he moved back to avoid the Second Demon's attack while keeping an eye on the first Demon.
"You look like you could use some help." While Xue was getting frustrated, he heard an aloof voice.
Turning his head, Xue saw a man standing in the distance, with his back resting against a wall, as if he was enjoying a spectacle.
The General looked at Xu Shan in confusion.
