Chapter 503: Chaotic War |
The two figures forced out by the White Lion Demon King appeared in front of everyone and were immediately recognized.
"Hong Siming, Qi Nanfei, how did you two end up together?" Fei ShiDaoist Master shouted sternly.
Neither of them paid any attention to Fei ShiDaoist Master and were busy evading the attacks of the White Lion Demon King.
Ever since Meng Zhang formed the core, he had been gathering information about the surrounding Gold Core cultivators.
Meng Zhang had heard of Hong Siming, a Gold Core cultivator from the Yellow Lotus Sect East River Branch.
As for Qi Nanfei, Meng Zhang had interacted with him several times during the joint attack on the Demon Wind Gobi by the three sects.
The appearance of the two of them together seemed unexpected at first glance, but upon closer thought, it made sense.
Qi Nanfei had no choice but to reveal the secret of the Layered Mystery Sect's heritage treasure. Besides diverting the attention of the Flying Swan Sect, he also aimed to provoke a conflict between the Taiyi Sect and the Flying Swan Sect.
He definitely wouldn't willingly give up the heritage treasure of the Layered Mystery Sect.
They had secretly infiltrated this place and hid themselves, obviously intending to take advantage of the situation and strike when the opportunity arose.
What Meng Zhang could think of, the Gold Core cultivators present could naturally think of as well.
Fei ShiDaoist Master snorted coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent. However, with the great enemy before them, he temporarily couldn't spare the time to confront Qi Nanfei.
The White Lion Demon King was pleased with itself, thinking that it had once again thwarted the plot of human cultivators and forced the hidden ambushers out.
After forcing Qi Nanfei and Hong Siming out, it immediately involved the two of them in the battle.
Knowing that it was difficult to escape, Qi Nanfei and Hong Siming reluctantly engaged in the fight.
Facing seven opponents alone, the White Lion Demon King showed no fear and exuded an air of confidence.
Ironically, when the five Gold Core Daoist Masters originally fought against the White Lion Demon King, they were only slightly at a disadvantage.
Now that two more Gold Core Daoist Masters had joined as allies, the situation should have improved.
Who would have thought that the addition of two Gold Core Daoist Masters not only failed to provide assistance but instead became a burden.
Among the seven Gold Core Daoist Masters present, their main focus was on preserving their own strength, and no one was willing to face the enemy head-on.
With a formidable enemy before them, their guard against each other surpassed their attention towards the White Lion Demon King.
All seven of them prioritized evasion, only resorting to defending against the attacks of the White Lion Demon King when absolutely necessary.
Although the seven Gold Core Daoist Masters still had some rationality and didn't turn on each other at this critical moment, they were all looking out for their own interests and hoped that others would act as the main force against the White Lion Demon King. Sometimes, they would intentionally or unintentionally scheme against each other.
In this situation, the White Lion Demon King displayed its might and completely dominated the seven individuals, taking the initiative.
Among the people present, Meng Zhang was not the weakest, but he concealed his own aura, appearing much weaker than even Wu Mingwei.
When dealing with the attacks of the White Lion Demon King, he appeared the most miserable.
Several times, Meng Zhang narrowly avoided being hit by the White Lion Demon King's attacks, almost getting struck.
Putting on a posture of barely holding on, Meng Zhang shouted, "Everyone, with a formidable enemy before us, we shouldn't fight amongst ourselves. Let's deal with this big guy in front of us first, and then we can discuss the ownership of the Layered Mystery Sect's heritage treasure."
"Fei Shi, what do you think?" Meng Zhang shouted to Fei ShiDaoist Master.
Fei ShiDaoist Master couldn't overlook Meng Zhang's hidden strength. Even if Meng Zhang acted convincingly, Fei ShiDaoist Master wouldn't believe him.
However, Meng Zhang's words did make some sense.
If they continued like this, they would only hinder each other. If they were individually defeated by the White Lion Demon King, it would be a huge joke.
Among the people present, Fei JiangDaoist Master was actually in the worst condition. He was already heavily injured and had been ambushed by the White Lion Demon King.
Now, he was just barely holding on with his heavily injured body.
If they continued like this, he would likely be the first to collapse.
As the only mid-stage Gold Core cultivator among the seven, Fei ShiDaoist Master seemed to naturally take on the role of leader.
"Everyone, I will kill this beast first, and then we can discuss the rest," Fei ShiDaoist Master said.
Fei ShiDaoist Master's charisma was unmatched by Meng Zhang. After hearing Fei ShiDaoist Master's words, the two disciples of the Flying Swan Sect didn't need to be mentioned, and the other Gold Core Daoist Masters all nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Fei ShiDaoist Master knew that as long as the great enemy wasn't eliminated, they still had the basis for cooperation.
As the leader, Fei ShiDaoist Master naturally had to exert more effort and take the lead.
He formed hand seals and summoned his own natal spiritual tool, a massive mountain peak, directly crashing into the airborne White Lion Demon King.White Lion Demon King, sensing its impending demise, let its beastly nature drive out any remaining rationality. Its ferocity erupted, and even if it were to die here, it would not let its enemies off easily. It was determined to drag them down with it.
With a roar that shook the surroundings, the White Lion Demon King unleashed its full power, attacking with all its might. Its massive claws swiped fiercely at its opponents, targeting the other six individuals.
While some of the others hesitated in the face of the sudden outburst from the White Lion Demon King, Meng Zhang launched another fierce attack. Both of his flying swords were swept aside, but he continued to fight back.
Some of the onlookers even underestimated Meng Zhang, thinking that as a Gold Core Daoist Master, he should not be so easily defeated. However, they failed to consider that the greatest advantage of a demonic beast compared to a human cultivator was its powerful physical body.
Even though the White Lion Demon King's current combat strength might not surpass that of a Gold Core late-stage cultivator, the several Gold Core Daoist Masters besieging it had yet to fully react.
In an instant, the White Lion Demon King became furious, unable to bear the humiliation. It unleashed its full strength, but it was unable to turn the tide and regain the upper hand.
One after another, spiritual tools struck the massive white lion phantom, causing it to tremble incessantly. The White Lion Demon King was now clearly at a disadvantage and continuously weakened.
Despite knowing that these human cultivators were deliberately provoking it, the White Lion Demon King couldn't help but be consumed by rage.
In battles at this level, anger did not bring more power; it only led to more mistakes. After a bitter struggle, the White Lion Demon King gradually lost its ability to resist.
Even at the critical moment, the massive white lion phantom did not show any intention of begging for mercy from these human cultivators. Of course, even if it were willing to beg for mercy, there was no guarantee that they would spare it.
On the contrary, knowing that its fate was sealed, the White Lion Demon King harbored a desire to take down as many enemies as possible with it.
The main peak and the numerous surrounding peaks, including the ongoing battle, were all part of the Layeredcore Daoist Master is their ability to control demonic beasts. Meng Zhang's strength lies not in his personal cultivation, but in his mastery over the White Lion Demon King.
As the battle raged on, the other six Gold Core Daoist Masters also joined the fight. They each displayed their own formidable power, no longer resorting to deceit and trickery. This time, they fought with all their might.
Meng Zhang, undeterred by their combined efforts, continued to unleash his attacks, targeting the remaining six individuals. The sudden onslaught of the White Lion Demon King left the others momentarily hesitant. However, before they could fully react, the Fourth Rank heritage magic tool of the Layered Mystery Sect, the Myriad Layers Peak, transformed into action.
The remnants of the White Lion Demon King's soul had already devoured a large portion of the Myriad Layers Peak's tool spirit, gaining control over this powerful Fourth Rank magic tool. With its newfound power, the White Lion Demon King launched a devastating assault on the remaining six Gold Core Daoist Masters.
The situation became increasingly dire as the White Lion Demon King unleashed its full might. The six Daoist Masters struggled to defend themselves against the overwhelming force. Their hesitation earlier had cost them precious time, and now they were paying the price.
Feeling the urgency of the situation, Fei ShiDaoist Master, as the leader among them, took charge. He mustered all his strength and summoned his own natal spiritual tool, a massive mountain peak, to confront the airborne White Lion Demon King head-on.
The clash between Fei ShiDaoist Master's mountain peak and the White Lion Demon King's power created a shockwave that reverberated throughout the battlefield. The other Daoist Masters, inspired by Fei ShiDaoist Master's bravery, followed suit and unleashed their most powerful attacks.
The chaotic war continued to escalate, with each side unleashing their full strength. The outcome of this battle would determine the fate of not only the Gold Core Daoist Masters but also the entire realm.
