Chapter 386: Let Loose the Channel

ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Due to the relationship with the Third Rank Demon General, who commands this army of demonic beasts, the Giant Lizard tribe under its control holds a special position within the ranks of the demonic army, possessing significant authority. When the Demon General is absent, these Second Rank Giant Lizards take charge and lead the demonic army in its place.

So, when all the Second Rank Giant Lizards went crazy and led their tribes in a desperate attack against the Guardian Mountain's great formation, the entire demonic army was forcibly driven to fiercely assault the Guardian Mountain's forces. Even other demonic tribes dared not openly defy the orders and obediently rushed in to fight with all their might.

The frenzied attacks from the demonic army exerted immense pressure on the Guardian Mountain's great formation, pushing it to its limits. Wen Qiansun, who was in charge of the great formation, communicated with Meng Zhang and informed him that the Guardian Mountain's great formation could only hold out for at most half an hour under such circumstances. Without the protection of the great formation, the cultivators from both sects would undoubtedly face certain defeat against the demonic army.

Meng Zhang quickly inquired if Wen Qiansun had any countermeasures. Wen Qiansun promptly provided an answer: they could deliberately open a few passages in the great formation, through which the demonic army, out of habit, would mostly pour in and not focus their full attack on other areas of the great formation. Cultivators could then gather at the end of these three passages and, with the support of the great formation's power, block the onslaught of the demonic beasts.

Upon hearing Wen Qiansun's strategy, Meng Zhang only took a moment to consider before deciding to proceed accordingly. After a tense arrangement, Wen Qiansun voluntarily opened the passages in the Guardian Mountain's great formation. There were three passages that cut through the great formation, providing direct access to its interior.

The keen demonic army immediately noticed this change, assuming that the human cultivators could no longer hold on. Consequently, the demonic army split into three groups and charged into the three passages. They poured in like a raging tide, packing the passages so tightly that they were nearly trampled on by their own comrades.

The passages extended from the foot of the mountain to its waist, not very long, just seven or eight miles. Given the speed of the demonic army, they quickly reached the end. At the end of each passage, cultivators from the three sects were already waiting in formation.

The puppets engaged in bloody battles with the demonic beasts, resulting in numerous casualties on both sides. However, even if the puppets were missing limbs or had their bodies severely damaged, as long as their cores remained intact, they would continue fighting the enemy. Even if they had to crawl or roll, they would still willingly confront the enemy.

Seeing the efficiency of the puppets, Meng Zhang found them quite expensive to operate, as it required a significant amount of spirit stones to drive them. Nonetheless, compared to losing Taiyi Sect's disciples, he believed it was well worth the costeven if it meant depleting their reserves of spirit stones.

After the initial frenzy, many demonic beasts began to grow more cautious, instinctively feeling fear. Especially when Meng Zhang, with the assistance of others, charged into the midst of the demonic army, activated the Golden Crow Lantern, and directly killed two Second Rank Giant Lizards.

Then, flying high in the air, Meng Zhang took out the tongue of the Third Rank Giant Lizard, waving it vigorously in front of the numerous demonic beasts. The fate of the Demon General Giant Lizard could be easily imagined from the severed tongue, which still exuded a strong aura, leaving no room for doubt.

Moreover, the tongue was still fresh, and the aura of the Demon General Giant Lizard remained potent, evidently proving its authenticity. A few remaining Second Rank demonic beasts, still possessing some reasoning, began to lead their tribes to retreat.

After suffering heavy losses among the Giant Lizard tribe, they were no longer capable of suppressing other demonic tribes. Without the commanding presence of the Third Rank Demon General, they naturally lost their authority over the other demonic tribes. As a result, several demonic tribes began to retreat, causing the demonic army as a whole to fall into disarray.

Taking advantage of the situation, Meng Zhang led the cultivators from both sects to launch a counterattack and quickly routed the remaining demonic beasts. Now, the entire demonic army could no longer hold its ground and started retreating like a receding tide.
