Mo Luo Aotian surveyed the brutal battle raging on the city wall with a grim expression, a flicker of understanding crossing his features. "As expected of Jinyao; the defenses are impenetrable, truly without a single flaw." He then glanced at Mo Luo Zhantian and the others beside him. "Generals, the next move is yours."

"Yes," Mo Luo Zhantian, Mo Luo Zhanfeng, and the seven Heavenly Demon Warriors responded in unison.

The South Gate wall was engulfed in fierce combat.

Roar!! The earth-shaking bellow nearly ruptured the eardrums of every Prague warrior!

Clang!! From the black iron phalanx below the wall, two dazzling beams of golden light shot skyward. After a violent tremor, the city wall shook violently, sending rubble flying. Amidst the swirling dust, two golden figures zipped out, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Countless heads flew from the ramparts. Rain of blood scattered.

"Roar! No!!" Feng Qingtian and Tong Lei’s eyes widened in horror. Among those killed were several elite disciples from the Yun Family and the Vermilion Bird Alliance. A single sword stroke had severed hundreds of Prague Legion soldiers at the neck.

"It's the Heavenly Demon Warriors!" All the Prague warriors were utterly terrified!

The Aotian Legion's assault grew more ferocious. Under the cover of the Heavenly Demon Warriors, the Demon-Sealing Warriors climbing the ladders finally surged onto the walls of Yunchéng, unstoppable! The Wolf’s Tooth operators and log-rolling troops atop the wall had suffered devastating losses due to the massacre wrought by the Heavenly Demon Warriors. Feng Qingtian, Tong Lei, and the others now had eyes blazing red like blood. In mere moments, their side had lost nearly a thousand brothers. More critically, control of the wall was lost, and the Demon-Sealing Warriors who had breached it immediately launched a frenzy of attacks! The South Gate wall was in dire peril.

The Prague Legion's main formation!

"They're finally here!" Jinyao said gravely. "Jidu, Rahu, heed my command: intercept the enemy Heavenly Demon Warriors immediately."

"Yes!" In an instant, Jidu and Rahu charged toward the two golden streaks flashing across the city wall.

"Your Highness should watch closely," Jinyao looked toward me. "The clashes between Heavenly Demon Warriors are not something you see every day!"

"Yes!" I replied respectfully, instinctively activating the Eye of Deathly Desire to lock onto the forms and auras of Jidu and the others. Jinyao was right; a duel between Heavenly Demon Warriors was a sight difficult to witness. If I could glean any insight from their confrontation, it would be endlessly beneficial.

The City Wall!

Roar! Roar! The fierce fighting had reached a fever pitch. The golden figures of the Heavenly Demon Warriors zipped about like ghosts, carving paths of blood and chaos, before making a direct charge toward Feng Qingtian, Tong Lei, and their group.

Roar! Fall back!

Tong Lei violently swung his weapon in a wide arc, unleashing a deadly crescent wave of sword energy to buy time for his comrades to retreat. On the battlefield, conventional troops stood no chance against the Heavenly Demon Warriors; retreating in the face of them was no disgrace.

Once conventional troops encountered a Heavenly Demon Warrior, retreat was the only option to preserve any fighting strength from total annihilation.

"Seeking death!" A cold shout was accompanied by a flash of fierce fire.

Clang!! In just one exchange!! Tong Lei’s body, weighing perhaps two hundred pounds, was flung far away like a kite cut from its string.

Clang!! Thud!! Tong Lei hit the ground, spitting blood from grievous wounds, struggling to rise but utterly unable to move.

"Ah! Brother Tong!" Feng Qingtian, nearly maddened, rushed to Tong Lei’s side, disregarding all else, trying to carry him away from the fray.

Meanwhile, Han Xiya and Han Yunzhen were also in grave danger! They had attracted the attention of another Heavenly Demon Warrior!

Roar! Clang!! In the blink of an eye, two streaks of fierce fire sword energy shot towards Xiya and Han Yunzhen with terrifying speed.

Ah! The gap in strength was simply too vast; Han Yunzhen and Xiya had no way to evade those two blasts of fire sword energy.

Roar! Suddenly, a world-shaking roar erupted—it was Xiya’s Holy Word Divine Beast, throwing itself desperately in front of Xiya.

Clang! Rumbling! A muffled explosion followed as the fire sword energy slammed squarely into the massive body of the Divine Beast. Amidst a blinding flash of light, the Divine Beast’s huge form exploded like a balloon, instantly shattering into fragments that flew in all directions.

What terrifying power! Even the super-defensive Holy Word Divine Beast could not withstand such a thunderous strike. Xiya dared not linger for a second, bolting away the instant the Divine Beast’s sacrifice provided cover.

Han Yunzhen, seeing Xiya’s luck, watched the whistling fire sword energy bearing down on her. Knowing escape was impossible, she could only desperately activate her strongest Magic Shield, trying to absorb the roaring inferno.

Just as the fire sword energy was about to strike Han Yunzhen!

"Roar! Stand down!" A thunderous sound boomed from mid-air, and two golden flashes materialized instantly.

Clang! Rumbling! A dull crash immediately erupted.

Two streaks intercepted the fire sword energy aimed at Han Yunzhen with astonishing speed, while another streaked directly towards Mo Luo Zhanyun’s back!

Hmph! Mo Luo Zhantian did not look back! His long blade sliced in a bizarre arc, sending a counter-slash of fire sword energy straight at the incoming flame.

Clang!! The two supremely powerful streams of fire sword energy exploded in the air with a sound like muffled thunder! The terrifying energy shockwave swept over the city wall like a hurricane, throwing warriors on both sides into disarray. Those nearby were instantly atomized!

"Ah! General Jidu is here!" Feng Qingtian seized the opportunity to quickly retreat while carrying Tong Lei on his back.

Han Yunzhen also scrambled and rolled back a safe distance.

They made it just in time! Honestly, my heart nearly jumped out of my chest; Han Yunzhen and the others were a hair's breadth from death. But before I could even catch my breath!

Roar!

Almost simultaneously, two piercing sounds of objects cutting through the air rang out. Jidu, suspended in mid-air, instantly detected two incoming red sword energies of astonishing intensity shooting toward his chest and abdomen from the left. At the same moment, two sharp tearing sounds echoed from the right as four large blue fireballs hurtled towards his head, chest, abdomen, and back like fiery meteors.

So fast!! Jidu was greatly alarmed! He realized with horror that this was a perfectly crafted kill trap, deliberately set for him. The Mo Luo Zhantian who killed Feng Qingtian was merely bait! The true objective was to lure him out so they could ambush and slay him together.

"It's you," Jidu immediately recognized his ambushers. They were old rivals; he knew their fighting styles almost by heart.

This was the ultimate killing move launched jointly by the two Heavenly Demon Warriors, Mo Luo Zhantian and Mo Luo Tianfeng, and one Heavenly Rainbow Archmage! The two streams of fire sword energy from Mo Luo Zhanyun on the left not only attacked Jidu’s abdomen but also locked down all his upward and downward movement options. Jidu himself was a master of external sword energy projection and knew well that if he simply spread his stance, those two red fire sword energies would instantly pivot for the killing blow. Meanwhile, Mo Luo Tianfeng on the right sent four blue fireballs attacking his vital points from all directions. Although the targets differed, the spacing between them was incredibly tight. If he tried to dodge, the four blue fireballs would inevitably change direction, widening the gaps to seal off his escape routes. Jidu, hanging in the air, saw through this exquisite kill trap in a flash of thought.

His protective battle aura burst forth abruptly, and he simultaneously tapped the air before him, soaring diagonally into the sky like a white crane ascending to the heavens. Almost instantly, one of the two sword energies shot past Jidu's head, circling overhead like a hunting falcon, sealing off his upward trajectory, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment. The four blue fireballs simultaneously pursued Jidu’s rear, engulfing his vital areas like a giant net.

Hmph!! Jidu let out a muffled grunt! His Frost Condensing Sword suddenly slashed out, cleaving the sword energy above his head.

Clang!! The terrifying energy collision instantly generated a startling explosion. A golden silhouette flickered within the brilliant ball of light, shooting straight toward the ground.

It turned out Jidu had calculated his sword strike’s trajectory perfectly; using the explosive force from the collision, he enveloped himself in battle aura and rebounded back to the ground. The other four blue sword energies narrowly grazed past him.

No one expected Jidu to pull such a move; the perfect ambush had failed. However, the four fireballs that grazed him, under Mo Luo Tianfeng’s control, miraculously veered again, relentlessly chasing Jidu’s rapidly descending figure like shadows.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I could never have imagined magic could be used like that—it was even more exaggerated than my Dragon Shadow.

Almost at the same time, Mo Luo Zhanyun’s other red fire sword energy shot towards Jidu’s downward trajectory. One sword energy and four fireballs attacking from above and below—it had morphed into another exquisite trap.

Hmph! Jidu let out a muffled groan in mid-air, repeating his trick. He swung his sword again, striking the lower sword energy. Clang!! Amidst the violent aura explosion, Jidu’s golden figure shot out like a bolt of lightning, slipping past the attacks of the four fireballs and one sword energy. He didn't pause at all.

The golden figure flashed a strange C-shaped arc in the air, and his elusive form instantly appeared three meters in front of Mo Luo Zhaxiong! His cold blade aimed directly for Mo Luo Zhaxiong’s vital chest point!

Such speed!

Mo Luo Tianfeng countered with a flurry of Blood Drink swings! Almost the instant Jidu changed direction, the four blue fireballs followed suit like shadows.

Jidu’s sudden appearance startled Mo Luo Zhanyun greatly!

And behind Jidu, the four relentless blue fireballs followed instantly!

Yet, Jidu seemed completely oblivious to these astonishingly fast four blue fireballs, instead increasing his speed toward Mo Luo Zhaxiong to an extreme degree, ensuring the four blue fireballs trailing him always remained half a meter behind.

Roar! Facing Jidu’s almost desperate, attack-only sword thrust, Mo Luo Zhaxiong dared not be careless and hurriedly sidestepped backward.

And Mo Luo Zhanyun, standing next to Mo Luo Zhaxiong, desperately swept out a wide expanse of crescent sword energy, blocking Jidu’s lightning-fast strike.

Clang!! Jidu crashed unceremoniously into Mo Luo Zhanyun’s midsection crescent sword energy sweep.

However, the elusive golden figure abruptly changed direction again, flying toward the left.

It turned out Jidu’s attack was just a feint; the true killing blow was the four blue fireballs following him. When his strike collided with the crescent sword energy, Jidu used the powerful momentum of Mo Luo Zhanyun’s attack to bounce himself away.

This served two purposes: first, he could attack Mo Luo Zhanyun; second, even if Mo Luo Zhanyun reacted, he would inevitably have to confront the four blue fireballs head-on, allowing Jidu the chance to shake off the relentless pursuit of the four sword energies.

In the Demon Dragon Empire, Jidu was the longest-serving Heavenly Demon Warrior. He wasn't the strongest, but he was absolutely the most experienced. He had fought in no less than a thousand fierce battles in his life. In an instant, he realized his current predicament was unfavorable.

But Jidu’s response was incredibly seasoned; he actually used the enemy’s specialty—their sword energy attack—to borrow strength and strike back!

Indeed! The moment Jidu bounced away, Mo Luo Zhanyun spotted the four blue fireballs streaking like lightning.

Damn it! He’s been tricked!

No one knew better than him how terrifying Mo Luo Tianfeng’s four blue fireballs were. Mo Luo Tianfeng was one of the strongest Heavenly Rainbow Archmages in the Demon-Sealing Empire, proficient in both Fire and Lightning magic. The four blue fireballs he was casting now were called Fatal Flying Wheels. Though they were merely four basketball-sized discs, the intensity of the Lightning and Fire magic contained within them was astonishing; a direct hit would be unbearable even for a Heavenly Demon Warrior.

Even if they didn't die, they’d be half-dead, and in this situation, being injured was no different from seeking death.

In a flash of thought, Mo Luo Zhanyun instantly unleashed his entire battle aura while sweeping his crescent blade, hoping to cleave through the four Fatal Flying Wheels.

On the other side, the Heavenly Rainbow Archmage Mo Luo Tianfeng was also aghast. The four Fatal Flying Wheels that had been pursuing Jidu had, by some trickery, turned to attack Mo Luo Zhanyun! Sensing disaster, Mo Luo Tianfeng immediately danced his Blood Drink in the air, trying to alter the trajectory of the four fire sword energies, but it was too late!

Clang!! The moment the crescent sweep was executed, another terrifying sword energy explosion erupted.

Within the dazzling ball of light, Mo Luo Zhanyun’s golden figure flew backward like a broken kite! From the moment Jidu was ambushed until Jidu cleverly used the four Fatal Flying Wheels to attack Mo Luo Zhanyun took only the flash of an eye, yet in that brief moment, Jidu had traversed the gates of hell several times and escaped perilously.

Mo Luo Zhanyun, who was "set up" by Jidu, took a heavy loss. His sweeping crescent sword energy struck the four Fatal Flying Wheels, but the resulting explosion was absorbed squarely by Mo Luo Zhanyun. Although he relied on his formidable protective battle aura and Heavenly Demon Armor to negate much of the impact, Mo Luo Zhanyun was still shaken violently, spitting blood and looking utterly disheveled.

Mo Luo Tianfeng’s full-power Fatal Flying Wheel attack was not easily withstood.

Clang! Mo Luo Zhanyun, violently thrown back, crashed heavily onto the ground! He felt as though his entire body was about to fall apart. A piercing numbness and the crisp sound of fracturing bones instantly assaulted him.

The situation had turned around in mere moments. Jidu, who had spun away, was not about to let this opportunity slip. The instant he hit the ground, Jidu exploded upward again, attacking the downed Mo Luo Zhanyun!

Ah!! Injured and pinned to the ground, Mo Luo Zhanyun watched the incomparably swift sword aimed at his chest with a face ashen with despair. He was finished this time.

"Roar! Stop!" Mo Luo Tianfeng went even madder, slicing his Blood Drink into a flying rainbow, launching another Fatal Flying Wheel toward Jidu’s rear.

If Jidu hadn't changed his move midway to defend, even if he managed to stab Mo Luo Zhanyun to death, he himself would certainly be killed instantly by Mo Luo Tianfeng's Fatal Flying Wheel.

What a cunning move by Jidu! Mid-air, without turning his sword to block, he merely tapped his left foot, and in a flash of lightning and fire, the golden figure ghosted laterally about a meter, miraculously evading the Fatal Flying Wheel's attack, all without any reduction in speed. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Mo Luo Zhanyun!

Ah! With the force of rushing thunder and the speed of lightning, the sword was about to pierce Mo Luo Zhanyun’s chest.

"Roar! Get lost!" Almost simultaneously! Another golden flash materialized from thin air, and a terrifying, suffocating energy instantly rushed toward Jidu’s flank!

Ah! So powerful! Jidu was greatly alarmed and quickly changed direction in mid-air! He sidestepped to avoid it!

Clang!! The instant Jidu bounced back rapidly!

Mo Luo Zhanyun, who had expected certain death, discovered a person standing before him—and who else but Mo Luo Zhaxiong!

Jidu, having bounced away, cursed inwardly at the lost opportunity to kill Mo Luo Zhanyun.

Like a crane landing lightly, in that brief moment, the exchange between the two sides had been terrifyingly perilous.

Clang! Jidu floated back down with a light flip after rebounding. However, the chaotic aura inside his body made his chest feel as though it was about to explode. During that brief period of continuous changes in moves, Jidu had been solely relying on a single breath to endure. Now that both sides had re-established their stances, Jidu was rapidly stabilizing his energy, striving to recover as quickly as possible.

Although the time elapsed since he repelled Mo Luo Zhantian while rescuing Feng Qingtian and the others was only a few seconds, the danger contained within was something outsiders could never comprehend. Those few seconds felt as long as a century.

But before Jidu could even catch his breath! He sensed three more figures shooting toward him. Before they arrived, the surging, overwhelming killing intent had already locked onto him firmly!

The newcomers were Mo Luo Zhonchong, Mo Luo Zhankong, and Mo Luo Zhanying.

Three men, three blades, instantly closing in, enveloping Jidu as if in a celestial net.

And Mo Luo Tianfeng, Mo Luo Zhanyun, and Mo Luo Zhaxiong all braced themselves, preparing to launch the next wave of attacks!

This is bad!

Jidu secretly cried out in dismay! He hadn't expected the Aotian Legion’s Heavenly Demon Warriors and Heavenly Rainbow Archmages to concentrate their forces to attack the South Gate simultaneously! Earlier, for security, the Heavenly Demon Warriors garrisoned in Yunchéng had been dispersed to guard the other three gates, unintentionally falling right into the Aotian Legion's calculated trap.
