Chapter 220: Chapter 24 The City Falls, Demons Rise (Extra for Alliance Hierarch 'Qtso-??')_2

He reached the Divine Travel Realm at an even younger age, yet no one knew!

Now, after that great battle, everyone thought that the father went easy during the father-son duel, which is why Li Hao was ranked fifth.

But who would have thought, based on the portion of strength that Li Hao displayed today, that if he were to go all out, he could possibly contend with those from the Three Immortal Realms. After all, at that time, Li Tian Gang had broken his heart oath, was severely injured, and his realm had fallen, no longer as invincible and undefeated as he was during the Northern Yan campaigns.

It's one thing for the world to underestimate him, but for Tianji Tower to do so as well? Isn't that harmful?!

Feeling the angry gaze from the middle-aged Arhat, Hermit Tianji came back to his senses, realizing the anger and feeling somewhat embarrassed, so he had no choice but to step forward. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, a huge booming sound erupted from afar!

The sound was earth-shattering as if a meteorite had struck the ground.

Everyone was jolted, including Li Hao. They all turned their heads to look, only to see that on the nearby city wall, a dazzling purple array pattern emerged. However, it quickly extinguished, like flames passing over it.

At the same time, a huge arrow tower and cannon tower within the city had their tops violently shattered!

The faces of the people present all turned pale, and then they swiftly changed color, looking shocked at this scene.

The way the array disappeared clearly indicated it had been breached!

This was the divine array that protected Dayue City. With this array, even if only a Heavenly Human realm Grandmaster were sitting in the city, they could use the City-Protecting Formation to fend off a Three Immortal Realm Demon leading a monster invasion for half a day!

With half a day's time, it would be enough to call for reinforcements and obtain support from powerful allies.

But now, this City-Protecting divine array had actually been broken!

And since the array had been breached before it was even activated, it meant it was broken from the inside.

Only people or Demons that had infiltrated the city could achieve such a feat!

However, if a Demon were to enter the city, they must be registered and carry a pass; otherwise, the divine array would have already been triggered to kill them.

As everyone was in doubt, two more arrow towers were also suddenly reduced to rubble. When one of the arrow towers was destroyed, two shadowy figures violently shot out from the inside. One silhouette flew straight towards the city wall and smashed into it, while the other shadow pursued and killed, wearing a long robe and having a tall and bulky figure.

He held down the head of the person who had hit the wall, and then crushed it with a squeeze.

After cultivating the Bright Jade True Demon Skill, Li Hao's vision had become sharper than before. Even from a distance of over a dozen miles, he could clearly see the scene there, even the gaps between the bricks on the city wall.

The one whose head was crushed was, unmistakably, a city-defending officer in armor.

The towering figure, with his robe lifting, revealed large patches of crimson muscles, dense body hair, and slightly protruding pointed horns on his head. He was unmistakably a Demon!

Moreover, his aura was as vigorous and powerful as a furnace, not of the Heavenly Human Realm but of the Three Immortal Realms' Great Demons!

And for this reason, without transforming, he easily crushed the Heavenly Human realm officer!

"It's a Demon!"

"A Demon has invaded the city!"

Not only Li Hao, but others with Grandmaster Realm Visual Strength could also barely make out the scene, and some invoked their Divine Soul to scrutinize and discern the situation.

In an instant, at the edge of the Debate Platform, all the Grandmasters' faces changed color.

A Demon had actually taken advantage of the opportunity to attack Dayue City, which was the heartland of the northwest, some distance from the border!

"It's a Great Demon from the Three Immortal Realms!"

The middle-aged Arhat named Wen Tian'en, immediately had a very grave expression. Such a Great Demon attacking and destroying the array spelled out too much alarming information.

He realized that something was not right. He glanced at Hermit Tianji, and as their eyes met, they both sensed a certain crisis.

The unrest at the Liangzhou border was not only known to the Li Family; Tianji Tower had also detected some information. Before embarking on his journey to attend this Grandmaster assembly, Wen Tian'en's bodhisattva master had told him about this matter, instructing him to be careful on the way and not to linger at the border.

But unexpectedly, a Demon had actually been so bold as to invade the city, and judging by the situation, it seemed as if they were attempting to breach the city!

"Damn, there's a Demon army's shadow outside the city!"

Suddenly, a Grandmaster exclaimed.

Several Grandmasters had their Divine Souls ascend and had already probed other directions, sensing the commotion outside the city.

The area outside Dayue City was an extensive plain, with a view that stretched for a hundred miles, leaving no place for Demons to hide. But now, at the edge of the sky, there was a black tide-like line rolling in.

"These Demons have plotted their approach, hurry and contact the city lord's mansion!"

"Damn it, the City-Protecting Formation has broken, how can we defend now?"

"What's there to fear, these Demons have picked the wrong time to attack, with all the grandmasters from across the world gathered here they've kicked an iron board!"

"Gentlemen, as the demons close in, we martial practitioners are duty-bound to slay demons and eradicate evil. Who will join me in demon hunting?"

There were many Grandmasters present. Although not all grandmasters in the world had arrived, at least eighty percent of them were there, so there was no fear.

Boom!

As they finished speaking, the last cannon tower on the eastern wall also shattered, and a figure in grey robes flew out of it, merely glancing over at the Dragon River side.

Just that glance, though only from a distance of over a dozen miles, sent a chill down the spines of Wen Tian'en and Hermit Tianji, who had just been preparing to take action, causing their bodies to stiffen.

That glance brought such a coldness that they felt a terrifying shadow of death.

The next moment, a multitude of screams erupted from a distance within the city. The tall figure revealed its true form, turning into a Bull Demon of immense size.

Its body rammed at will, destroying houses. It opened its mouth to inhale, and a demon wind swept through, sucking up the citizens trying to flee from the ground. It swallowed dozens of people in one gulp, and as it chewed, vivid red blood sprayed from the corners of its mouth, like the juice of ripe fruit.

"Refreshing!"

The Bull Demon laughed loudly and chased after more prey.

Upon witnessing this, everyone was filled with rage. Lin Qingfeng, who had been previously defeated by Li Hao, now swallowed a pill. His arm injury healed at an astonishing rate, visibly to the naked eye.

He stepped forward, the power of a fully realized Great Grandmaster Realm giving him the courage to confront that Three Immortal Realm Bull Demon, hoping to stop it.

With the strength of the many Grandmasters, there might be a chance to stop the demon's charge.

But just as he took his first step, a shadow flew out from the distant horizon and came crashing down onto the Debate Platform, smashing the platform's stone into a deep pit.

Inside the pit was an armored figure with a broken helmet, glazed eyes, and a cracked skull.

Recognizing the face, Hermit Tianji's complexion changed drastically. It was none other than the lord of Dayue City!

With a thunderous noise, the ground shook violently.

Two figures descended from the sky, landing in front of everyone, creating deep craters in the ground.

As the dust rose, one of them waved his hand, dissipating the dust cloud to reveal his tall and sturdy form.

His face was handsome, but his cheeks were covered with thick hair, his eyes a purplish hue, radiating a demonic light. He looked around at everyone casually, his gaze pausing for a moment on Li Hao's Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation.

"Such delicious essence..."

The robes he wore now revealed their true color, a purple-gold long garment, looking extraordinarily noble.

Behind him stood the grey-robed elder.

The elder smiled, his gaze seemingly on everyone, but at the same time, as if they weren't really there.

"Two Great Demons!"

Everyone's heart quaked, feeling the intense presence, causing a tremble in their hearts and minds.

While the Grandmasters there were all powerful figures in their own right, they were somewhat at their wit's end in front of the Three Immortal Realm Great Demons.

Fortunately, their numbers were also substantial, and with the presence of Wen Tian'en and Hermit Tianji, they were not at a disadvantage.

"Finally, I can release myself. I've been suffocating these past few days."

The purple-gold robed bearded young man stretched out his arms and twisted his neck, a playful smile on his lips as he walked straight toward the crowd.

The disciples and relatives of these Grandmasters involuntarily stepped back, their faces deathly pale.

They were not Tianren Grandmasters; under the presence of these Great Demons, they trembled uncontrollably, as if they were in an ice cave.

At that moment, the two to three hundred Grandmasters there felt utterly oppressed by the presence of these two Great Demons, experiencing a sense of terror.

And the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation that had been pressing its finger upon Qin Wuque now withdrew its hand, and the chess piece in its hand shone brightly. It was suddenly thrown, shooting towards the purple-robed young man like a shooting star, tearing a gap through the terrifying and overwhelming demonic presence.
