Chapter 945: Chapter 765: Return

“What nonsense are you speaking of? We must all fight together. The sect calamity is upon us; who can escape unscathed?” Bi Yaoyao said firmly.

“I’ll join forces with You Qingyi, and the three of you assist from the side,” Rong Xuejian said calmly.

His suggestion was the most practical and received unanimous agreement from everyone.

“Cowardly humans, I’ll swallow you all whole!”

The White Tiger Demon charged forward fiercely, its momentum wild, not taking the five people seriously at all.

You Qingyi, Bi Yaoyao, Rong Xuejian, and the others pushed their alertness to the limit, their eyes fixed intensely on the rapidly approaching White Tiger Demon, palms sweating, hearts racing.

The opponent’s strength was indeed far beyond theirs, leaving them with no confidence at all.

‘Bang!’

However, before they could make a move, a gray shadow flashed by, and a crisp sound of bones cracking echoed.

When they looked again, the White Tiger Demon’s head had already exploded, with its hard skull completely shattered, undeniably dead.

Lou Er, dressed in a gray robe, stood quietly to the side, his amber eyes devoid of any emotion.

“Isn’t that Yi’s Lifebound Corpse? When did it become so powerful?” the chubby Dai Xiang exclaimed in shock.

Rong Xuejian and the middle-aged female cultivator wore expressions of astonishment.

However, Bi Yaoyao and You Qingyi were unfazed, since Lou Er had appeared before and saved them more than once.

“Ah!!”

In the distance, the screams of other fellow disciples erupted.

“Can you help the others?” Bi Yaoyao asked Lou Er.

Lou Er made no response, standing motionless.

But as long as any danger dared to approach the two women, it would strike decisively, killing the threat, as if it were programmed to do so.

Bi Yaoyao’s eyes darted around, then she proactively ran toward the danger, even though You Qingyi and the others couldn’t stop her.

But using this method, she made Lou Er ‘passively’ kill many demons, saving the lives of numerous sect fellows.

At this moment, the Corpse-Driving Sect and Cyan Wolf Ridge had already descended into a frenzy of killing.

Many elders of the sect had fallen, and numerous disciples had sacrificed themselves.

Even the three Fake Pill cultivators and the only Golden Core Daoist Cang Yu in midair could hardly hold on.

Just then.

In a certain part of the Corpse-Driving Sect, the Three Corpses Daoist’s aura had already reached its peak state.

Directly above his head, the sky emitted a thunderous roar.

The terrifying blue-purple electric light gathered in vast quantities, ready to strike at any moment!

“Not good, I don’t know what method he used, but he’s already accelerating, about to undergo the Thunder Tribulation!” True Master Qiangu observed this phenomenon from high in the sky, somewhat discolored.

Once a Second Realm cultivator genuinely starts undergoing the Thunder Tribulation, others dare not interfere.

Otherwise, it is highly likely to draw the Thunder Tribulation onto oneself, a risk that no one can bear.

Thus, the best chance to kill the Three Corpses Daoist is before the heavenly thunder strikes down, either to eliminate or severely injure him.

“He won’t have the chance,” said Hua Baiyu, who was hovering in the void, sitting cross-legged with closed eyes, suddenly speaking out.

Soon, other masters understood why Hua Baiyu said what he did.

In the void around the Three Corpses Daoist, suddenly there appeared a short spear about three feet long.

The spear was a green-yellow camouflage, the spearhead was ghostly black with a faint sheen as if coated with some liquid.

Upon closer inspection, you would find that the spear was covered in dense bristles, constantly wriggling in the breeze.

“Not good, other Demon Clan members are launching a sneak attack!”

The Daoist Cang Yu, Daoist Qingmu, and others who were engaged in fierce combat were all in a panic, wanting to help.

But at that moment, several Great Demons of Cyan Wolf Ridge suddenly went berserk, increasing their output, making it impossible for them to break away.

The Three Corpses Daoist, who had been sensing the world, brewing his aura, and nearly pushing his cultivation to its limit, abruptly opened his eyes, a hint of blue light flashing within.

He pointed out a finger, and immediately there was a gray light appearing ahead.

It swiftly formed a gray light shield the size of armor, indistinguishable from a real object.

The light shield was more than a foot thick and was engraved with numerous runes.

The runes rapidly moved, forming a menacing lion head, roaring continuously at the rapidly approaching short spear.

The spearhead pierced fiercely into the lion’s head, silencing its roar, then unfalteringly passed through the light shield.

By this point, its speed had significantly decreased.

Three hairless, browless, beardless, expressionless middle-aged men appeared simultaneously.

Their skins gleaming with red and silver that seemed to carry golden hues, the six fists of these men jointly struck the camouflaged short spear.

‘Pop!’

The spear’s forward momentum finally halted, getting smashed, and with a ‘whoosh,’ it cut through the sky.

“Huh?”

In the void, a demon appeared faintly where the short spear vanished.

It vaguely resembled a massively enlarged bee, as large as a multi-story building, its aura obscure, and its body enveloped in multicolored light.

Its tail was embedded with several dozen short spears similar to the one just seen, clearly its tail stingers.

This was also a Great Demon, though evidently not from Cyan Wolf Ridge.

“Wasp Valley intervened…”

Within the Corpse-Driving Sect, an elder recognized the identity of the Great Demon and said with grief and indignation.

Wasp Valley, located in the Southern Demon Kingdom, held power much stronger than Cyan Wolf Ridge, having birthed more than one Demon King in the past.

Maybe due to being of the same Demon Clan, they didn’t wish to see the Corpse-Driving Sect survive this calamity.

“Impressive strength; without external interference, you might indeed have crossed into the Third Realm.

But how many more times can you block?” the Bee Demon’s sneer echoed in the air.

In the next moment, it shot three tail stingers at once from its tail!

‘Whoosh whoosh whoosh!’

The tail stingers sped with astonishing rapidity, carving long-lasting white trails in the void, arrowing toward the Three Corpses Daoist from different angles!

Three Corpses Daoist’s complexion changed, and he once again manifested defense magic such as Yin Light Shield and Ghost Wall, while throwing out high-tier talismans like they were worth nothing.

At the same time, three peak Silver Corpses took action, barely managing to fend off the opponent’s three tail stinger attacks.

However, this time, Three Corpses Daoist used a significant amount of primordial qi, with fresh blood seeping from the corner of his lips.

His aura began to decline from its peak.

Though not obvious, the heavenly tribulation above could descend at any moment.

If he faced it while at his peak, he might have some chance of overcoming it.

Now injured, the success rate plummeted dramatically; one wrong step and he would be utterly destroyed!

“Oh, you blocked it again? Then let’s do it again.”

The Bee Demon said indifferently.

This time, its tail had more than ten stingers vibrating intensely, making a ‘buzzing’ sound.

“This demon is too outrageous; why meddle in other people’s affairs at random?”

On the other side, the Masters from the other three sects in the Northern Domain were infuriated.

True Master Baoshan of the True Blood Sect, True Master Ziyang of the Red Sun Sect, and True Master Yunyi of Qingluan Palace flew up together, intending to prevent the Bee Demon’s actions.

However, a silver talisman silently appeared in front of them.

On it, a spectral image of a long spear almost piercing through the heavens materialized, exuding an astonishing force, yet restrained, full of threatening intent.

“I said before, no one is allowed to interfere, have you forgotten?”

“Celestial Destiny Half Monarch, it was the Demon Clan who first meddled in the battle, why stop us!”

True Master Yunyi spoke, her voice like the gentle breeze of early spring, refreshing and uplifting.

Of course, her tone carried evident anger at this moment.

“Demons never understand righteousness nor adhere to the law, but differing factions are beyond my control.

Afterward, I will report this to the Immortal Alliance, demanding they negotiate with Ten Thousand Demon Mountain for a resolution.

However, you cannot take action. Otherwise, it will be unclear, and our justified cause will become unjustified.” An indifferent voice came through.

“Then disregard the life and death of so many people in the Corpse-Driving Sect?” True Master Baoshan shouted angrily.

“Foolishness. If disputes arise between Humans and Demons, it’s not just one sect that would perish, but countless people.

I can distinguish what matters and what doesn’t without needing your instruction.” Hua Baiyu remained unmoved and waved the banner of inter-race conflict.

“What inter-race dispute, clearly you are using this opportunity to suppress dissent…” True Master Baoshan hadn’t finished speaking.

“How dare you!”

Suddenly, that silver talisman released dazzling light, transforming into a silver long spear appearing in the world, brimming with murderous intent.

It pointed towards True Master Baoshan and shot out a brilliant silver light column.

So fast that True Master Baoshan had no time to react, nor could his domain block it, leaving a large bloody hole in his chest.

“Puh!!”

Blood gushed from the wound, with a sizzling, crackling sound emanating from the injury.

True Master Baoshan’s face turned extremely pale, unable to maintain even his flying posture, plummeting headfirst from the sky.

True Master Ziyang and True Master Yunyi were shocked, red and green mana unfurled from their bodies like curved ribbons, rushing downward to intercept him.

Unexpectedly, the silver spear moved again, the silver light column continued to pierce, directly tearing through both ribbons.

‘Boom!’

True Master Baoshan fell freely from high up, smashing into the ground and creating a bottomless pit.

From the hole’s opening, one could see he was heavily wounded, continuously vomiting blood even unconscious, in a dire state.

“This… afraid he’s harmed down to the core, no recovery possible in a century.”

“So ruthless, True Master Baoshan’s path forward is probably severed, his dao severely damaged.”

In the void, several other figures were observing all this.

Among them were Masters from the Lotus Sect, Profound Yin Sect, and Zhenyue Sect…

Due to ties with the Red Hero, they initially thought to see if there was any chance to assist the Corpse-Driving Sect.

But witnessing True Master Baoshan’s tragic fate, their hearts chilled, not daring to make any movement.

“Blessed be, just hope the heavens might show some favor to the Corpse-Driving Sect, giving them a path to survival…”

Master Jingcheng of the Lotus Sect folded his hands in prayer and wished for the Corpse-Driving Sect.

Inside the Corpse-Driving Sect, Three Corpses Daoist was already on the brink of despair.

More than ten camouflage-colored Great Demon tail stingers vibrated the void, all aimed at the injured Three Corpses Daoist, full of sharpness.

A trace of despair involuntarily appeared in Three Corpses Daoist’s eyes.

He knew he could hardly withstand this attack.

Daoist Cang Yu, Daoist Qingmu, Great Elder Zheng Jingming, and all others in the Corpse-Driving Sect felt their hearts sink to rock bottom, sharing in the despair.

“Heaven wants to annihilate my Corpse-Driving Sect!”

“I refuse! We’ve always fought for the Human Race, why be treated like this?”

“Fight, fight, fight! Even if I die, I want to bite off a piece of the Demon Clan!”

Masters from Qingluan Palace, Red Sun Sect, Lotus Sect, Profound Yin Sect and others showed eyes troubled with both indignation and unwillingness.

‘Whoosh whoosh whoosh!’

In eyes filled with sympathy, shock, or despondency from everyone.

Over ten Bee Demon tail stingers arrived before Three Corpses Daoist, stirring ripples in the void to make him a thousand wounds.

“Aah!!!”

Three Corpses Daoist forcibly drew a breath, refusing to sit idly and await death, if he must die, he wanted to die standing.

At the critical moment.

A figure flashed, standing in front of him.

“Roar!”

A terrifying visible white sonic wave crazily surged forward.

Sweeping away the Great Demon’s tail stingers like autumn leaves, scattering them, powerless to resist!
