Chapter 1599: Demonic Assault (Part Two)

From Mu Guyue’s appearance, to Ling Shan realizing she was ambushed, and to Mu Guyue’s attack, everything happened in a flash. Both sides’ actions were completed in the blink of an eye.

Ling Shan actually hadn’t seen clearly who the attacker was, but she could already tell that the other party was a Body Cultivator, carrying an irresistible momentum.

Ling Shan flicked the red long whip in her hand, coiling it around the moonlight that was slashing towards her neck. The red long whip instantly transformed into a long fiery snake, its mouth opening to swallow the moonlight.

“Clang!”

The moment the moonlight and the giant mouth of the fiery long snake met, a burst of red light erupted from its mouth.

At the same time, the moonlight stopped in front of its large mouth. The fiery long snake also failed to swallow the opponent in one bite, but instead emitted a crisp sound, like a saber striking a tooth.

Ling Shan’s body first paused abruptly, then her entire body tilted back rapidly, retreating at an even faster speed.

‘Such strong power!’

Ling Shan’s heart chilled. With just one blow, the other party had shaken her so much that she couldn’t control her figure at all. She was a mid-stage Spirit Transformation expert.

It was only at this moment that Ling Shan truly saw the attacker clearly. It was a slender woman who was a head taller than her, her face flashing with strange demonic patterns.

Ling Shan could vaguely recognize that the other party should be the woman named Mu Guyue.

“This person is indeed from the Demon Clan!”

Ling Shan was shocked as she was forced back.

But Mu Guyue followed her like a shadow. Once her offensive started, it was like a storm, never stopping.

Instead, she almost stuck to the flying Ling Shan’s body and followed her. While still in mid-air, she had already thrust a knee up, fiercely ramming towards the other party’s lower abdomen.

Seeing that the other party was taking advantage of the moment she was knocked back, and was even entering her central gate in a mutually destructive manner, a sharp killing intent also appeared in Ling Shan’s eyes.

While still retreating, she circled the fiery long whip in her hand. The whip’s body, which had turned into a red long snake, suddenly circled around, and the snake’s head disappeared in an instant.

The tip of the whip blurred and turned into a sharp whip spike, fiercely stabbing down at the back of Mu Guyue’s head, who was in her embrace.

At the same time, she quickly moved her other hand down to block her lower abdomen. And as her jade hand moved down, a fish-scale-like magical treasure had already appeared in her hand.

Just as Mu Guyue’s knee came up, this treasure was blocked in front of her by Ling Shan.

“Thump!”

At the same time Ling Shan blocked Mu Guyue’s knee, Mu Guyue, without looking back, swept her right elbow back horizontally.

The other Crescent Moon Handguard Saber immediately expanded along her forearm, turning into a ball of silver light that protected her forearm and elbow.

“Bang!”

At the same moment, another violent collision sound erupted at the point of Mu Guyue’s elbow and the tip of the red long whip, bursting out a dazzling two-colored light.

But both of them were extremely high-level cultivators, and they had both controlled their strength very well, not letting the aftershocks of their duel spread out too far.

The large wave of qi that surged out only disappeared into the dense fog after reaching a distance of ten zhang from the two of them. Otherwise, at a distance of a few li, even those Nascent Soul cultivators might not be able to block the aftershocks. In fact, this was also the reason why Mu Guyue had deliberately not waited for Ling Shan to go deeper before she launched her attack.

She had already calculated all of this. In this kind of group battle, once one or a few experts were trapped, these people would attack with all their might without any scruples.

These attacks were not only aimed at themselves, but the aftershocks of their duel with the opponent could also damage the grand formation and the people inside from within.

And Mu Guyue also did not want to bring any extra burden to Ren Yanyu. So, the two sides were entangled together. This was the close combat of the Demon Clan.

As soon as the two made contact, it was a series of actions that were impossible to see clearly. Although Ling Shan was not good at close combat, she was just not good at it, not that she couldn’t do it.

The Mark Incarnation, in the end, made it not very comfortable for Mu Guyue to use. In addition, she was distracted by controlling Yu Banjiang and the others.

So, if she wanted to kill Ling Shan in a short period of time, she also couldn’t do it that easily. And just at this time, Ling Shan heard a series of tragic screams.

“Ah!”

“Don’t get close to them… Pfft!”

“What is this…”

As the screams and the sound of spitting blood rang out, Ling Shan heard the shouts of the Bright Flame Sect disciples. In her busy schedule, she swept her divine sense over.

She saw a scene that she could not believe. In just this short moment of contact, the Bright Flame Sect disciples had suffered heavy casualties.

What was most shocking was that every single cultivator of the Broken Army Sect had an even more bizarre appearance, their eyes completely black, and their speed was so fast that cultivators of the same rank could barely dodge.

In the Bright Flame Sect, only a few people had managed to dodge because of their special cultivation methods, but most of the disciples’ speed seemed too slow.

They were simply rammed into by the other party with a head-on collision. Even many of the male cultivators on the other side had no pity for the fairer sex.

Their entire bodies turned into a flash of black lightning, breaking through the dense fog, and rammed straight into the embrace of the Bright Flame Sect’s female cultivators.

And the two soft mounds on the chests of those female cultivators were instantly shattered, and then their entire bodies were torn apart. Immediately after, their entire person dissipated into specks of crystal light.

Some people even only had time to let out half a tragic cry before completely disappearing from this world…

And all the cultivators of the Broken Army Sect had long received Mu Guyue’s order to directly attack the other party’s body. The first wave was not to use any arts.

They were to rely on their speed and their demonic qi-infused physical bodies to get close and kill. Only after the other party was far away were they allowed to use arts.

This was the most ferocious chisel-through tactic of the Demon Clan, and it relied on the incomparably ferocious demonic qi infusion.

When the Bright Flame Sect was studying the Broken Army Sect, it wasn’t just the Spirit Transformation cultivators who were studying the other party; the Nascent Soul cultivators were also studying the cultivation methods of Yu Banjiang and the other two.

And the Golden Core cultivators were the same. They also listed out all the core disciples of the Broken Army Sect at the Golden Core realm, and then analyzed their cultivation methods and characteristics one by one.

Many people not only studied on their own, but also studied together with others, thinking of the best way to deal with these Broken Army Sect cultivators.

But today, upon meeting the other party, they were horrified to find that these Broken Army Sect cultivators were as if they had been afflicted with some kind of terrifying evil art.

They were simply like some of the ferocious beasts of the races in the Heavenly Demon Prairie, directly charging over. And that speed left them unable to react.

Like a black lightning bolt, it split out from the dense fog!

At such a short distance, eight or nine out of ten of their cultivators were simply unable to dodge in time. The Broken Army Sect cultivators either rammed into them with a slanted shoulder.

Or, right in their face, they would throw out a fierce punch…

There was no fancy flair in these people’s attacks. Under the infusion of demonic qi, their muscles and tendons had become extremely thick and strong.

All of this, in the eyes of the Bright Flame Sect cultivators, could be described in only two words: “speed, power!”

For a time, although there was no flesh and blood flying everywhere, amidst the streaks of tragic screams, there were bodies being shattered into specks of crystal light.

In Ling Shan’s astonished gaze, it was as if a burst of firecrackers and fireworks had been set off here in an instant…

And at this time, in the plaza of the Blood Lantern Sect, a group of people were waiting dryly.

Several hours had already passed, but the cultivators of the two sects sitting cross-legged were still motionless, each one as if they had entered a deep state of meditation.

Here, apart from a few Void Refining cultivators who would occasionally talk in low voices, their faces all had an unhurried expression.

All the other remaining people, including Master Wei, Elder Yu, and Shangguan Tianque, had already started to feel anxious.

On Master Wei’s side, he could still occasionally whisper a few words with Elder Yu to alleviate the anxiety of waiting.

But Shangguan Tianque was different. He could only look at the figures of the crowd in front of him and constantly guess in his heart.

‘The two teams still haven’t engaged? According to Junior Sister Mu’s plan, if the demonic clan’s battle tactics can be used in the Mountain River Diagram, they will not use avoidance to delay time. Instead, they will adopt a direct confrontation. This will also make the Bright Flame Sect completely unexpected that we would actually use this kind of tactic. That will definitely make the other party suffer a big loss. If the enemy suffers a great loss, we will have more opportunities… But, so much time has passed, and there is still no movement from either side. Is it because the demonic clan’s art cannot be used inside due to the Mark Incarnation?’

The more Shangguan Tianque thought, the more he couldn’t help but worry. After all, many of their previous preparations were made without knowing the rules of the assessment.

Just as the vast majority of people were waiting very anxiously, suddenly, an abnormality appeared on the Bright Flame Sect’s side.

“Bang bang bang…”

In just an instant, balls of light exploded on the bodies of many people. And then, before the others could react.

“Ah!”

“Ah!”

“Pfft!”

Among the cultivators whose bodies had exploded with light, many of them let out continuous tragic screams.

And among them, many of them had already fallen back, their faces turned up, and they spat out a large mouthful of blood towards the sky.

“What’s happening?”

Master Wei, who was talking with Elder Yu, was also startled and immediately looked at those sect disciples.
