The Demon Race had indeed been well-behaved for a period of time. Since the last time the million strong Demon Race army was repelled, Tiger Roar City had been safe and sound for a month.
A month later, the Great City Barrier Formation was once again activated, and when the Great Formation’s light curtain covered the entire city, the cultivators of Tiger Roar City finally felt safe. This was a Spirit Array set up by Nanmen Dajun, and its performance was several times better than the original Spirit Array of Tiger Roar City. With this Spirit Array, even if another million Demon Race cultivators came, Tiger Roar City would still be able to rely on the power of this Spirit Array.
Not only that, but there was also good news from High Heaven Palace. The first batch of cultivators to enter the Thousand Illusion Dream World had already come out. Although only one-tenth of them had managed to cultivate Wizard Energy, this undoubtedly proved that this method was feasible. As long as they continued to send cultivators into the Thousand Illusion Dream World, sooner or later, there would be Wizards on Star Boundary who could deal with the war between the two worlds.
These existences who had cultivated Wizard Energy and become Wizard were all assigned to Yang Yan. Perhaps it was because she had not been able to help Yang Kai last time, Yang Yan felt somewhat guilty, so this time she directly sent two Great Wizard Expert level existences.
Looking at the current situation, these two Great Wizard Experts could only be considered icing on the cake, but it was better than nothing. At the very least, they could enhance the Martial Artists of Tiger Roar City with some practical spells, saving Yang Kai some effort.
Tiger Roar City had also maintained its connection with the other great cities of the Western Region. Over the past month, the overall situation had not been very optimistic. Many small and medium-sized cities had fallen, and many Star Boundary cultivators had suffered heavy casualties. Those who had survived had been forced to flee to other cities to meet up with other cultivators. Tiger Roar City had also sent a number of people, not too many, but not too few. After accepting tens of thousands of people, Tiger Roar City’s defensive strength had once again increased.
Since the start of the war between the two worlds, the number of casualties on the Star Boundary’s side had already exceeded a few million, and the number of casualties on the Demon Race’s side would only increase. However, the Demon Race continued to increase their forces, as if they would never be able to kill all of them, causing everyone to feel exhausted.
A few days later, Yang Kai, who was cultivating in seclusion in the City Lord’s Mansion, suddenly opened his eyes and took out his Communication Compass. After examining it for a moment, he frowned and stood up to leave.
On the city wall, Yang Kai suddenly appeared and the group of Emperor Realm all bowed.
“What happened?” Yang Kai looked into the distance and asked.
Li Jiao replied, “The Demon Race has come again.”
“How many?”
“Not much, just a few hundred thousand.”
Chi Gui sneered, “We can even repel an army of a million, what does a few hundred thousand count for?” The last time the Great City Barrier Formation had not been completed, Tiger Roar City had been able to obtain such a victory. This time, with the support of the Great Formation, Tiger Roar City had several tens of thousands more people, so Chi Gui was naturally full of confidence.
“Don’t be careless!” Yang Kai said solemnly, “Since the Demon Race dared to come here, they naturally have something to rely on.”
Gao Xueting suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise, “You mean…”
Yang Kai said, “I hope my guess is wrong, otherwise this battle won’t be easy.” Turning his head to look at Ma Yin, Yang Kai said, “Let’s send some people out to check if there are other Demon Race armies nearby.”
Ma Yin nodded and quickly walked down the city wall.
Not long after, more than a dozen figures rushed out from Tiger Roar City and rushed towards various directions.
An hour later, Ma Yin came to report, “City Lord, there is no trace of any other Demon Race within a thousand kilometer radius, only one.”
Yang Kai nodded and shouted, “Relay my orders, prepare for battle!”
The sound of horn rang out and Tiger Roar City began to operate at full speed. Nearly two hundred thousand cultivators took up their respective positions, and under the leadership of a number of Emperor Realm, they arranged themselves into a square formation and guarded the city walls from all directions, waiting for the Demon Race to arrive and attack with all their might.
Information was sent back from the scouts outside. The Demon Race army was constantly approaching Tiger Roar City, obviously heading straight for it.
On top of the city walls, the atmosphere was solemn as many Emperor Realm gazed into the distance.
The traces of the Demon Race’s army gradually appeared in his field of vision, and just as the intelligence said, there were less than a million of them, because compared to the last time he had seen them, there were far fewer. It was probably the Demon Race’s army that had been defeated last time.
However, this army, which had suffered a great loss in Tiger Roar City, was now valiantly charging forward with an unstoppable momentum.
As time slowly passed, the Demon Race’s army suddenly stopped fifty kilometers away from Tiger Roar City. The army split up and a figure and a Demon Flame Foal slowly walked out from the army.
The Demon Flame Foal’s four hooves burned fiercely, its entire body filled with a violent aura. At first glance, it looked like a horse, but it was several heads taller than an ordinary horse, making it look incredibly majestic.
On the back of the horse, the Demon Race youth staggered as if he was drunk, his eyes closed as he slowly approached Tiger Roar City.
Everyone stared at this Demon Race, many of them frowning because no one could see the depths of this Demon Race. At first glance, this Demon Race seemed like an ordinary person, but at this moment, how could an ordinary person come here to die?
It was impossible to tell because this Demon Race’s cultivation was extremely high.
Tap, tap, tap, tap. The sound of a horse’s hooves galloping across the ground was heard. Finally, the Demon Race’s Demon Flame Foal arrived not far from the city wall. With a loud snort, the Demon Flame Foal stopped.
At this moment, the Demon Race cultivator yawned and slowly opened his eyes.
It was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed across the world, and with the opening of his closed eyes, the world suddenly trembled as a great pressure descended from the sky, like an invisible mountain pressing down on the chests of many Emperor Realm, making it impossible for them to breathe.
“Pseudo Emperor!” Li Jiao cried out.
The expressions of Gao Xueting and the others also changed drastically.
Yang Kai’s expression was also incomparably gloomy. Although he had long known that the Demon Race would definitely be prepared if they came again, perhaps they would send out a Pseudo Emperor master, when such a Pseudo Emperor appeared in front of him, Yang Kai still felt a slight headache.
Tiger Roar City wasn’t a big city, so naturally, the Demon Race wouldn’t pay too much attention to it. However, in the previous two roar, Tiger Roar City had won a great victory and killed countless enemies. It was likely that they had attracted the attention of the Demon Race, which was why they had dispatched a Pseudo Emperor level master to deal with them.
As expected, a tall tree attracts the wind!
“Pseudo Emperor?” The Demon Race youth obviously heard Li Jiao’s words and turned his eyes towards him, a clear and bright smile appearing on his face. Coupled with the beard stubble on his chin, he gave off a different kind of charm. Raising a finger, he slowly shook it and said, “Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Pseudo Emperor is just a name for your side. In the Demon Territory, I am called a Half-Saint!”
Whether it was a Pseudo Emperor or a Half-Saint, both of them were only a step away from becoming Great Emperors or Demon Saints, not something an ordinary Emperor Realm could resist.
Yang Kai bared his teeth and cursed Qiong Qi a hundred times in his heart. If it weren’t for this old man taking Yang Xiao and Yang Xue to the Four Seasons Land on his own, Yang Kai wouldn’t be lacking in high-end combat strength right now. With Qiong Qi and Liu Yan’s strength, this Half-Saint in front of him probably wouldn’t be able to win.
Now that the Demon Race had sent out a Half-Saint, he and his Embodiment had to go all out to deal with them. Even if the remaining people of Tiger Roar City could defeat the Demon Race army, they would likely suffer heavy casualties.
What’s more, whether he could win or not was still unknown. The first two times he had been able to win so easily, he had put in a lot of effort. Without him this time, Tiger Roar City’s combat strength would definitely fall sharply.
The Half-Saint suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Jiao, laughing wildly, “Old man, since you’re so talkative, come out and accept your death. This old master can give you a quick death!”
Hearing this, Li Jiao’s face darkened. Just because he said something, he was going to be the first to die? What kind of logic was this?
Yang Kai said lightly, “Sir’s words are quite bold. Whether it’s a Pseudo Emperor or a Half-Saint, if you want us to die, you’ll have to show us some real ability.”
When the Half Saint heard this, he immediately tilted his head to look over, his eagle-like eyes piercing through everyone’s skin as he gently nodded, “You’ll be the second to die…” He then stretched out his hand and pointed towards the others, “You’ll be the third, you’ll be the fourth…”
He chattered on for a long time, causing everyone to become angry, as if they were really going to die under his command.
Lighting his finger, the Demon Race Half-Saint suddenly swallowed his saliva and couldn’t lift his finger anymore. Squeezing his eyes, he stared at a certain spot on the city wall for a long time.
The people on the city wall all wore blank expressions as they followed his gaze, not knowing what he was seeing.
After a long time, the Half-Saint retracted his hand and smiled awkwardly, “I suddenly remembered that I still have something important to attend to. En, I’ll take my leave first!”
Saying so, he turned his horse’s head and galloped back the way he came.
What the hell!
Li Jiao and the others were all stunned, all of them wondering if this Demon Race Half-Saint had some kind of abnormality in his brain. He had come so aggressively and even said such big words, but in the end, it was all just big thunder but small rain?
Was he really a Half-Saint? Could he be an impostor? But his aura was not inferior to that of a Pseudo Emperor.
The current situation was too strange, and no one knew how to deal with it. All of them turned to look at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai’s eyes flashed for a moment before he made up his mind and shouted, “Activate the formation and kill the enemy!”
Gao Xueting quickly said, “Yang Kai, be careful!”
The actions of this Half-Saint were too strange, making it easy for others to think that he was doing this on purpose. Luring everyone out of the city was a difficult task to deal with, and without the protection of the Great Formation, even the Emperor Realm masters present would not be enough to kill him.
Gao Xueting wasn’t the only one who had such concerns, most of the others did.
Yang Kai stared at Gao Xueting and said solemnly, “Believe me!”
Gao Xueting hesitated for a moment before turning around and shouting, “Activate the formation!”
With a rumbling sound, the Great City Barrier Formation opened.
A complex incantation rang out as the light of Bloodlust Technique and Life Chains burst forth, enveloping the entire city’s army.
Without saying a word, Yang Kai shot out like an arrow towards the Half-Saint riding the Demon Flame Foal.
