Chapter 688 - 452: Power Up, Second Battle! (Double - )
On the Red Earth Continent, two giant hundred-foot rocks stood opposite each other, less than a mile apart.
On both rocks stood groups of figures.
On one side, demon qi surged to the skies, and large fox tails swayed in the wind.
Among them, Xi Yanxue’s six fox tails were the most eye-catching, fanning out and gathering a significant amount of demon power, exuding an indescribable allure.
Beside Xi Yanxue were Prince Cui and Hu Tomb.
At this moment, Prince Cui’s crown was nowhere to be found, his long hair was slightly messy, and his king’s robe was damaged.
All of this was the result of the fierce battle earlier.
Among the Thirty-Six Kings, Prince Cui was known for his martial prowess, and to push Prince Cui to such an extent proved how strong his opponent was.
This was the Changsheng Clan; no matter how downtrodden, they were still a tough bone to crack.
Fortunately, Prince Cui’s aura hadn’t dropped much, clearly still capable of fighting.
In contrast, beside him, Hu Tomb, the Grand Marshal of the Command Department, was much more seriously injured and found it difficult to even stand.
He had previously faced many Su Family Grandmasters alone, maneuvering strenuously; managing to hold on until now was extremely difficult.
For him, escaping death and still being alive was a gain.
On the other side of the rock, Pure Yang’s Gang Qi naturally gathered, forming strong gusts of wind that passed through, causing rocks to crack and crumble.
The powerful presence of Grandmaster Powerhouses opposed the group of fox demons, seemingly giving the Su Family’s Grandmasters the upper hand.
At the forefront, Su Dong Pill chuckled lightly: "To think a Grand King of the Human Race, a vassal appointed by Emperor Yun, has fallen to collude disgracefully with the Demon Race to harm my Changsheng Family, how despicable and laughable!"
Prince Cui looked at his torn king’s robe, brushed some dust off, and was indifferent to Su Dong Pill’s mocking sarcasm.
His mind was only pondering how to deal with the life-and-death enemy before him.
The battle between Grandmaster Powerhouses might not be difficult to determine victory, but it was hard to decide life and death.
After all, both had tremendous skills, and at this level of Martial Tao, Grandmaster Powerhouses had almost no weaknesses to be exploited.
To kill a Grandmaster Powerhouse, without overwhelming power, fighting for three days and nights might not suffice to truly kill them.
Prince Cui didn’t care, but Hu Tomb found the words grating, and coldly said: "There are no outsiders here, so why put on an act? Go ahead and summon your Bull Demon."
He referred to the Bull Demon as the Black Soul Nether Bull that lured Hu Donghuo earlier.
He was convinced that the Bull Demon was summoned by the Su Family to aid in the plot against Hu Donghuo.
At this stage, Su Dong Pill didn’t bother denying.
He had long decided that fending off the fox demons would suffice, while Prince Cui, Hu Tomb, other Hu Clan Members, and their loyal followers must be eradicated!
He feared Prince Cui’s rise and the powerful abilities he exhibited, knowing that the Hu Family couldn’t be controlled any longer.
If so, they must be destroyed.
On the surface, it would be the Demon Race at fault as always.
Later, a new king from the Imperial City would soon arrive to retake Cui Bai Dao.
Then, he would employ the same old tricks to control the ’naïve’ and unestablished new king.
Both sides engaged in trash talk, but their objectives were exactly the same.
They had fought for so long; both were significantly worn out and were now gathering strength for the second wave.
Once recovered sufficiently, one side would inevitably initiate the battle again.
On the Su Family side, Su Fengye stared dazedly at his former wife in the distance, his expression changing rapidly.
His thoughts were complex, contemplating much, and ultimately he was fixated on the scene of his elder brother Su Gongming critically injured and dying, and his final instructions.
Xi Yanxue’s expression remained frosty, not even glancing at Su Fengye.
Her demeanor was rooted in hatred!
She sought revenge against the Su Family, including Su Fengye!
The tale of love turning into hatred was not uncommon, and Xi Yanxue’s situation was no exception; the end was destined to be a tragedy.
Her surrounding demon power surged more violently, and even Prince Cui glanced at her twice, secretly admiring her as an exceptional member of the Nine-Tailed Divine Fox lineage.
Although her Tao Practice among the Great Demons was not profound, the demon power she exhibited, along with her combat strength, far exceeded that of ordinary Great Demons!
This was the formidable strength of the Nine Tailed Divine Fox bloodline.
In the group of Fox Race Great Demons she led, she was undoubtedly the leader.
During the previous battle, she was evenly matched with the Su Family’s Middle Realm Grandmaster.
In terms of strength, Su Fengye, who had just entered the Grandmaster Realm, was no match for Xi Yanxue.
Before long, Xi Yanxue was already restless.
Prince Cui knew she couldn’t hold back any longer and turned to Hu Tomb and said: "You should retreat to heal first."
"I can still hold on..." Hu Tomb replied firmly.
Prince Cui and the fox demons were still at a disadvantage against the Su Family; he understood that they couldn’t lack his combat strength at this time.
"You’re too badly injured; I can’t spare attention to you. At least stabilize your condition before returning to help!" Prince Cui frowned, emphasizing with an undeniable tone.
Hu Tomb, upon hearing this, agreed as he had no choice.
Without delay, he retreated directly, seeking a place to heal quickly.
"Ji Chuan, you go," Su Xiang suddenly transmitted in secret.
Su Jichuan understood this as an order to track Hu Tomb and eliminate him, and he immediately agreed too.
