Chapter 427 – 427: Zhang Longxiang Battles the Fifth Great Sky Demon, Anfeng

Chapter 427: Zhang Longxiang Battles the Fifth Great Sky Demon, Anfeng

Above the Suppression Sea.

Within the boundless demonic aura,

Two violet-black figures stood side by side, gazing toward the fortress in the distance.

Both of them stood over three zhang tall, their bodies entirely violet-black.

They were none other than the Fifth and Sixth Great Sky Demons.

The Fifth Great Sky Demon, Anfeng, was tall and thin, almost skeletal.

His bones were clearly exposed, creating a ghastly appearance.

His body bore traits of humans, demons, and flood dragons.

He had two heads—one human, one dragon.

He also had four arms: one human, one flood dragon, one tiger demon, and one bear demon.

Demonic energy surged around him, radiating overwhelming pressure.

The Sixth Great Sky Demon, Anchen, had a massive, imposing figure like a moving mountain.

Anchen resembled a giant black humanoid,

With features roughly aligned with that of the human race.

Anfeng said casually, “The demons we sent to the demon race fortress have already been repelled.”

Anchen replied calmly, “As expected.”

“The main assaults on the Xuanwu Fortress and Vermilion Bird Fortress are what matter most.”

Anfeng smiled. “Xuanwu Fortress is already showing signs of collapse. I expect Zhang Longxiang to make a move soon.”

Anchen grinned. “That’s exactly what we’re waiting for.”

“If we can kill Zhang Longxiang, morale at Xuanwu Fortress will crumble completely.”

“After that, we’ll have two breach points—Xuanwu Fortress and Vermilion Bird Fortress.”

After speaking, he took a deep breath, sounding intoxicated. “I can’t wait to break free of this prison.”

Anfeng pointed at Xuanwu Fortress. “Look, Zhang Longxiang is making his move.”

Anchen followed his gaze.

He immediately saw Zhang Longxiang leading his personal guard up the city walls.

With a sweep of his longsword, a group of True Demon Lords that had rushed onto the wall were sliced clean in half.

“It’s time to make our move,” Anfeng cackled.

“No rush. Let the cannon fodder wear him down a bit more,” Anchen said calmly.

There was no trace of equality in his tone toward the lower-bloodline demons.

To them, those demons were nothing more than slaves, cannon fodder, expendables.

“General, why have you come here?! You mustn’t go up on the wall!”

Zhong Baisheng shouted in a low voice.

Everyone knew that the Demon Suppression General was a key pillar of any fortress.

He stood as a deterrent, locked in standoff against the enemy’s Great Sky Demons.

If the Demon Suppression General entered the battlefield, it would undoubtedly provoke a response from the enemy’s Great Sky Demons.

That would plunge the situation into unpredictable chaos.

Possibly leading to a conclusion that no one could foresee.

Zhang Longxiang was just about to speak,

When a large number of True Demon Lords suddenly surged onto the city walls.

Among them were many powerful Apex True Demon Lords.

The Demon Suppression Guards, already drained of spiritual power and blood essence, were rapidly being pushed back by the enemy’s assault.

Even commanders like Zhong Baisheng, who had been locked in battle for days, were unable to withstand the Apex True Demon Lords.

Worse still, as the demons swarmed the wall, their demonic energy began to erode the fortress.

Though it hadn’t yet formed true Demon Soil,

Within the areas covered by the demonic aura, the Demon Suppression Guards could no longer access the natural spiritual energy.

Their spiritual power couldn’t recover at all.

They could only rely on blood essence.

This forced the guards—most of whom cultivated spiritual power techniques—to face the enemy with their remaining, rapidly dwindling strength.

The situation was rapidly deteriorating.

Zhang Longxiang took action again.

Spiritual power surged from within him, shooting straight into the skies.

In an instant, it condensed into a massive dragon-elephant manifestation over fifty zhang tall!

The dragon-elephant’s form resembled that of an elephant, but it was covered in scales, and dragon horns protruded from its head.

It radiated the mighty aura of the dragon race.

According to legend, in ancient times, the dragon-elephant stood even higher in status than the flood dragon.

However, dragon-elephant bloodlines were incredibly rare.

Because of their natural suppressive power over the demon race, the dragon-elephants were relentlessly hunted.

Before even the start of the ancient era, they had been nearly wiped out—completely extinct.

What remained today were only giant elephants with a few faint traces of dragon-elephant blood.

It is extremely difficult for the dragon-elephant bloodline to resurface.

Back when Zhang Longxiang dominated the Human Ranking for a long time, he obtained a crucial visualization diagram.

It was precisely the dragon-elephant visualization diagram.

Relying on this, Zhang Longxiang’s strength ranked among the top of all Demon Suppression Generals.

None of the other generals dared to claim they could definitely defeat Zhang Longxiang.

All because of that dragon-elephant manifestation!

At this moment, the moment the dragon-elephant manifestation appeared, it unleashed astonishing power.

The demonic aura pressing down on the fortress evaporated like frost meeting blazing sun.

The True Demon Lords fighting on the city wall were shaken to the ground by the manifestation, howling in pain.

As for the lower-tier Lesser Demons, they were directly reduced to minced flesh and shattered bones, unable to even scream.

This was the dragon-elephant’s suppressive power against the demon race.

Very soon, the city wall was clear once more, and the demonic aura had been completely swept away by the dragon-elephant manifestation!

Zhong Baisheng shouted at the top of his lungs, veins bulging on his forehead, “General Zhang has taken action himself! General Zhang is right here with us! The fortress will not fall!”

More Demon Suppression Guards joined in the shouting.

“Kill!”

Two figures of Apex True Demon Lords suddenly appeared in the air.

Their arms transformed into blades and lunged at Zhang Longxiang’s vital points.

They had actually approached this close to Zhang Longxiang by relying on their cultivation techniques!

The speed of the two Apex True Demon Lords was astonishing.

Zhang Longxiang’s personal guard only realized their presence when they were nearly upon him.

Shocked and enraged, they moved to defend—but it was already too late.

The blades of the two Apex True Demon Lords were already about to strike Zhang Longxiang.

“Dragon-elephant manifestation—resound!”

Zhang Longxiang let out a low roar.

The hundred-zhang dragon-elephant lifted its trunk and let out a thunderous trumpet.

The sound echoed throughout the entire Xuanwu Fortress, and even farther beyond.

Within a thousand-zhang radius of the fortress, every demon’s skull exploded under the roar.

Within ten thousand zhang, countless demons bled from all seven orifices, writhing in unbearable pain.

The sound had no effect on the Demon Suppression Guards.

But to the two Apex True Demon Lords, it was a fatal blow.

Their bodies froze mid-charge, as if time had stopped.

Moments later, dark violet demon blood oozed from their bodies.

With a thud, they collapsed to the ground.

When the Demon Suppression Guards investigated, they found that their brains and organs had turned to mush.

After slaying the two Apex True Demon Lords, Zhang Longxiang remained unchanged.

Having stepped into the Manifestation Realm for many years, killing enemies a realm below him was a trivial matter.

But he was well aware of the enemy’s plan—

To exhaust his spiritual power by throwing demon after demon at him.

Even if only a little could be worn down, it was still worth it.

Zhang Longxiang understood this perfectly.

The ten Great Sky Demons were all cunning and treacherous.

They would never reveal themselves easily.

Unless he exposed a fatal weakness, they would never recklessly act to take his life.

This entire performance had to look absolutely real.

Otherwise, he would never achieve his objective.

“General Zhang, to think a mighty Manifestation Realm cultivator would lower himself to bully such weak demons. Don’t you find it shameful?”

A deep voice echoed from the sky.

It was the Fifth Great Sky Demon, Anfeng.

Zhang Longxiang replied calmly, “This is war between races—life and death. What shame is there in that?”

Anfeng laughed heartily. “Very well, then I shall also attack your Demon Suppression Guards.”

Suddenly, the demonic aura in the sky transformed into massive beasts—demon wolves, demon tigers, demon lions—pressing down upon the city walls.

Even before the beasts arrived, the thick demonic aura once again enveloped the walls.

Zhang Longxiang shouted lowly, and the dragon-elephant manifestation roared again.

A deafening boom shook heaven and earth.

The clash of metal echoed through the skies!

Zhang Longxiang and the Fifth Great Sky Demon Anfeng—engaged in battle!
