Huff, it seems that this time the adventure has more than a fifty percent chance of success. Seeing that the Brahma Demon King did not appear, Wang Long, although appearing calm on the surface, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, they were not blindly placing their hopes for success on the Brahma Demon King's absence. After all, with the battle having reached this point and the Army so deeply infiltrated, if they fell into an ambush, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Wang Long's other layer of confidence came from the fact that although the Demon Clan appeared strong and stable, within the Demon’s Swamp, at least two top experts, Abyssal Demon and Beast Ancestor, were eyeing the Brahma Demon King closely.
What was particularly troubling was that if it were just one of those two experts, he would still have a considerable chance of winning. However, if he were caught off guard by both attacking simultaneously from the shadows, he might really be in trouble.
Thus, while it was not difficult for the Brahma Demon King to notice their "attack" on the Demon’s Swamp, what was challenging was whether he dared to take such a significant risk to engage them in a decisive battle.
Now, although the reinforcements from the Demon Clan were quite powerful, they were still within Wang Long's plans.
"Block them!"
As the dark clouds dispersed, the reinforcements from the Demon Clan immediately took advantage of Dao Lord Wu Jue and Evil and Malicious not having joined forces with Wang Long's Army in time and launched an attack amidst some confusion.
The Demon Lord leading the Demon Army may not be as formidable as the Nine-Headed Demon Lord, but he was certainly no ordinary foe.
Just as they were forming a formation to withstand their first wave of attacks led by Wang Long—within such a short time frame, it was impossible for even the elite of Dragon City to gather Dao Lord Wu Jue and Evil and Malicious into a large formation—suddenly, an overwhelming killing intent surged around them!
Unlike the previous sense of destruction and gloom from within the dark clouds, this aura carried boundless chaos and devastation!
Then, four massive black shadows charged toward them.
Just four shadows brought such a terrifying sense of pressure.
Wang Long's brow furrowed for the first time: "I didn't expect that even though the Brahma Demon King didn't come, he still takes us seriously enough to send out the Four Great Ancient Beasts!"
At this moment, Wang Long faced the reinforcements from the Demon Clan while Dao Lord Wu Jue and Evil and Malicious had yet to recover. Facing the Ancient Beasts charging from four different directions, it seemed there was no power left to stop them!
Although their strength could not match that of the Brahma Demon King, they were still at a level comparable to that of the Four Great Sect Leaders. The True Navigator had once been ambushed by one of these Ancient Beasts; although he ultimately killed it directly, he suffered significant injuries in doing so. As a result, when the Nine-Headed Demon Lord launched a surprise attack with the main force of the Demon Clan later on, he found himself unable to unleash his powerful Martial Arts to defeat them.
Now, although Wang Long and his companions had greatly increased their strength and brought in several experts from Xuanmen and Holy Divine Gate who had reached Ancient Giant God level, dealing with these four top experts still proved quite challenging.
Wang Long ordered Wuxuan, Tian Xuan, and Pei He from Holy Divine Gate to each block one beast while Dao Lord Wu Jue, Evil and Malicious, along with Zhong Xuan and Ming Xuan from Xuanmen would jointly resist the last one!
However, in the four directions, only Elder Wuxuan and Dao Lord Wu Jue were able to hold their ground against a formidable opponent. Elder Tian Xuan and Pei He were directly overwhelmed by the Ancient Beasts, and it was only a matter of time before they collapsed.
Progress on the front lines was also not smooth. With so many top experts absent, their impact had significantly diminished. While it was impossible for the Demon Clan's Army to crush them, they also could not push them back.
The two armies had inevitably become entangled, appearing to be at a stalemate. However, the problem was that this was on the Demon Clan's home turf. Regardless of how things unfolded, any prolonged engagement would certainly favor the Demon Clan. Moreover, it was evident that since the Brahma Demon King had not appeared, he must have some hidden moves left. He could take advantage of the Divine Coalition's fatigue from prolonged entanglement and suddenly strike, potentially defeating them before the Abyssal Demon and Beast Ancestor intervened!
Such a gamble was definitely worth trying for the Brahma Demon King!
However, just as they began to engage, the Demon Clan's reinforcements aimed to entangle the Allied Forces of the divine race, preventing them from escaping easily. Suddenly, another ambush appeared on the battlefield!
"Shen Walking Dragon Technique! Heaven Covers!"
A melodious chant echoed through the air as the world transformed. The soldiers of the Demon Clan felt as if they had been pulled away from the battlefield; their bodies floated in emptiness, weak and unable to exert any strength. A strange pressure descended upon them, leaving them gasping for breath.
And this was naturally Jiang Xue.
Before this battle, Wang Long had deliberately placed himself among the central army to reassure the Brahma Demon King.
He knew that his past "notorious deeds" had made all enemies wary of him. As long as he did not appear, they would be cautious of any variables on the battlefield, fearing that Wang Long might exploit any weaknesses again.
This time, however, they reversed their approach by having Wang Long command the Army and even personally fight on the front lines to put both the Brahma Demon King and the Demon Clan at ease. The real attack came from Jiang Xue, who usually exuded an aura of calmness and stability!
Moreover, Jiang Xue's Shen Walking Dragon Technique was just as powerful on the battlefield as Wang Long's—if not more so.
As soon as Jiang Xue's Army appeared, they caught the Demon Clan's reinforcements off guard. If not for their elite status within the Demon Clan, their rear forces would have likely been crushed by this sudden blow!
Wang Long smiled slightly and suddenly withdrew from the front lines, rising into mid-air among his rear forces. He quickly formed a strange seal with his hands while chanting an incantation that was not human language.
"No!"
Suddenly, dark clouds in the sky formed into a demonic visage of the Brahma Demon King, roaring angrily at Wang Long.
At that moment, Shunshen Song Shuping, who had been prepared in advance, flashed in front of Wang Long to block this attack.
Although Song Shuping's strength is far inferior to that of the Brahma Demon King, this was merely a strike from his clone, and he was still capable of achieving it.
However, even so, Song Shuping was directly knocked away by this strike, gasping for breath for quite some time.
"Damn it! Wang Long, stop this at once!"
Gone was the calmness and wisdom from previous battles; the Brahma Demon King now appeared incredibly furious and enraged. However, mere anger could not stop Wang Long.
Although Wang Long had not learned the method of controlling Ancient Beasts like the Beast Ancestor did, nor did he know how the Abyssal Demon made the Ancient Beasts rebel, he had learned how to break such control.
The four Ancient Beasts suddenly froze in their actions, confusion appearing in their eyes, rendering them unable to unleash their divine might.
Seeing this situation, Wuxuan Daoist and others immediately halted their attacks according to the plan they had previously established with Wang Long. They feared that even if Wang Long broke the Brahma Demon King's control over them, they would be unable to kill them on the spot. In that case, these Ancient Beasts would surely react instinctively and treat them as enemies again. At that point, any method they used would likely be futile.
No matter how loudly the Brahma Demon King roared at this moment, it was already too late to stop Wang Long!
Ultimately, the Four Great Ancient Beasts finally recovered from their confusion. They glanced around the battlefield in bewilderment, realizing there were no kin among them and having no idea how they ended up there. With a slight retreat of their heads and a yawn, they shook their heads and ran off without a trace—during the battle between gods and demons, they had never been interested in the conflicts of various races. In fact, even after dealing with them for tens of thousands of years, their habits remained unclear.
If only one race were present here, they would have undoubtedly begun an assault without hesitation. However, when multiple races were mixed together in battle as they were now, they couldn't be bothered with such trivial matters.
"Looking at the direction they're heading, it seems to be towards the Game God Sect," Wang Long said while suspended in mid-air, shaking his head in lament. "What a sin; this is going to cause a big problem for the Game God Sect! Victory Over Heaven, Heavenly Slayer, you two mustn't blame me!"
Boom!
The ground shook violently!
It seemed as if the entire battlefield had been struck by some immense force.
Wang Long was well-prepared and smiled as he watched the furious Brahma Demon King appear: "Why has the Demon King kept me waiting? It seems I have been waiting for quite some time!"
Hehe, his army had suffered heavy losses again, and several beasts he had painstakingly subdued were destroyed by True Navigator last time; now he had released four more. Even if the Brahma Demon King remained calm, it was impossible for him to keep his composure now.
"Wang Long! I will kill you!"
Now, for the Brahma Demon King, this is no longer just a struggle between two factions; it has become intertwined with personal hatred towards Wang Long. This time, he has suffered a significant loss. If he does not avenge this grudge, he is unworthy of being the number one in the divine realm!
"Well..." Wang Long innocently glanced into the distance, "It seems that your old enemy will be the one to take your life first!"
Suddenly!
The aura of the Beast Ancestor surged towards the Brahma Demon King!
"What! How could it appear so quickly!" The expression on Brahma Demon King's face shifted between uncertainty and fear. Could it be... have you all secretly collaborated again?
Wang Long neither confirmed nor denied it: "You don't need to worry about that, Brahma Demon King. You should just enjoy its wrath."
Looking at the current situation, Brahma Demon King realized that he was powerless to determine the outcome against the Beast Ancestor in a short time. However, the forces he had sent were likely not a match for the Divine Coalition!
Thinking of this, the anger that had previously consumed Brahma Demon King vanished without a trace, and he made the wisest choice.
"Retreat!"
