Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

This scene immediately lifted everyone’s spirits!

Chu Xiu and his two companions quickly hid themselves, taking advantage of the enemy’s attention being drawn to this Heroic Spirit squad, and stealthily moved toward the center of the Black Death Pillar.

However, before long, the excitement on everyone’s faces turned to bitterness.

The sky lit up with dazzling radiance, as streams of Spiritual Light fell like meteors!

The speed of each meteor easily exceeded ten times the speed of sound! Incredibly agile, they precisely collided with our attacking Heroic Spirits in the blink of an eye!

As deafening roars echoed, resembling nuclear explosions, an intense burst of light and heat erupted in the middle of the city wall!

The enemy’s Heroic Spirits were also taking action!

Their numbers were overwhelming, averaging at least three times that of the Human Race Heroic Spirits! This meant that each human Heroic Spirit had to fight three Heroic Spirit Horned Demons simultaneously!

In such a scenario, even though the average strength of the Awakened was superior, they were far from reaching three times the power level, quickly being suppressed by the Horned Demons,

forget about breaching the frontline; some weaker Heroic Spirits were already in grave danger, facing the risk of falling at any moment!

The front few Heroic Spirits exerted every ounce of their strength, managing only to barely lead the battle to the vicinity of the city wall, and the aftershocks of their clashes destroyed the second city wall, but that was their limit.

Between the second and third city walls were layers of interception formed by over ten thousand Horned Demons! The Heroic Spirits’ attacks couldn’t penetrate through! Moreover, Horned Demons from other regions were quickly moving to reinforce this location!

Seeing this situation, a few Heroic Spirits suddenly halted their advance, instead choosing to flee backward!

The Heroic Spirit Horned Demons they had been fighting didn’t pursue them, allowing them to leave and continuing to besiege the remaining Heroic Spirits, making it even harder for those still struggling on the battlefield!

”Damn it, the order for these bastards was clearly to breach the third city wall! How come they just started running?!” Divine Power Daoist couldn’t help but curse furiously using Sound Transmission!

Initially, although the human Heroic Spirits were locked down by the enemy forces three times their number, they merely needed to scatter a single attack past them to pierce through the third city wall! It was still incredibly difficult, but at least there was a sliver of a chance.

However, this chance required risking their lives!

And quite clearly, the Heroic Spirits were unwilling to sacrifice themselves.

Zhao Fengming’s expression was very unpleasant, and Chu Xiu said nothing.

Human nature is inherently selfish, and it was completely normal for those Heroic Spirits to make such decisions, even in a role reversal, Chu Xiu would do the same.

Having become Heroic Spirits, gifted with immense strength and prolonged lifespans, even without further progress, one could enjoy life like a top-tier tycoon for thousands of years!

In such a situation, who would be willing to sacrifice themselves?

Many of them might still be thinking if worst comes to worst, they could surrender to the Outer Realm Demon; abandoning their human dignity, they could still survive!

The trio had no right to demand their sacrifice; however, without the third city wall destroyed, it would be a lot harder for them to approach the inner layers of the Black Death Pillar, significantly increasing the difficulty of their assault.

Just as Chu Xiu prepared to forcefully breach the defense line of tens of thousands of Horned Demons, suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps came from behind!

Chu Xiu turned to look, only to see that behind him, Awakens dressed in military uniforms had somehow charged inside the city wall and were rapidly moving deeper in!

Chu Xiu merely glanced over and showed a look of disappointment.

Despite the numbers, only three of them were Heroic Spirits, and not even many were King Tier or General Tier, with the majority being Fierce Tier!

What could such a troop achieve?

Yet, just a second later, Chu Xiu greeted with a look of astonishment.

Witnessing this team, as if they had rehearsed a thousand times, seamlessly divide into squads after crossing the city wall, the outermost layer was composed of Fierce Tier teams, who once within reach of the enemy’s forces, dispersed like fragmented shrapnel, fearlessly thrusting themselves into the enemy!

Even in groups of five or six, these Fierce Tier teams stood no chance against the General Tier Horned Demons, as a flash of Spiritual Light would erupt on a Horned Demon’s head, immediately blowing the first heavily armored member into pieces!

Yet, what Chu Xiu didn’t imagine was that even as their comrades perished so miserably before their eyes and with insurmountable Horned Demons ahead of them, the others bore no fear, roaring madly like frenzied wild bulls as they charged forward!

Some even leaped over those Horned Demons, attacking the ones further behind!

Unable to confront even one, they dared to attack two at once!

These individuals did not aim to kill the Horned Demons before them but to use their lives to stall them even for a second!

The soldiers whose bodies were severed continued to unleash powerful roars before landing, casting out Spiritual Power Chains to ensnare the enemies!

All this was nowhere near its end, as the Fierce Tier could not match the speed of the General Tier or King Tier, this charging force regrouped like a multi-stage rocket continually unleashing waves.

With each separation, masses of soldiers charged forth as cannon fodder, like moths to a flame!

Starting with Fierce Tier, then to General Tier, and finally King Tier!

All attacking higher-ranked beings, only to shield those three at the very forefront, the Heroic Spirits!

Suddenly, Chu Xiu’s eyes widened!

He saw a Golden Giant Dragon ascend, with Zhang Qingshan sitting on its back, wielding a ten-meter-long giant spear, roaring as he charged toward the Heroic Spirit blocking his way!

A General Tier charging toward a Heroic Spirit!

Not only him, everyone in his battle array was charging! Even though it was like using a mantis to block a chariot, they still swung their blades forward without hesitation!

”Clang!”

Zhang Qingshan’s spear collided with the body of a Heroic Spirit Horned Demon, the tremendous impact causing his hands to instantly burst at the tiger’s mouth, and even the Supreme Level weapon snapped in an instant.

Meanwhile, his opponent lightly caught his spear with just one hand.

The next moment, under the indifferent gaze of the Heroic Spirit Horned Demon, a stream of energy capable of obliterating King Tier and Heroic Spirit Level poured forth!
