491: Chapter 491 Assault

The Great Demon King of the Cloud Deer Clan turned ashen-faced and fell completely silent.

Demon Venerable Chong An cautioned, "Right now, panic is spreading throughout the city. If other Yao tribes catch wind of our weakness, the Cloud Deer Clan will likely be the first to be sacrificed. Pass down the orders: everyone must stay sharp and be careful in all things."

“Yes.”

“Go now.”

Chong An sighed inwardly; currently, he could only pray that the Human Race would not launch a counter-offensive into the Demon Realm.

In mid-air.

In a place where no one was paying attention.

Xiao Weiqing had overheard the conversation between the Cloud Deer Clan's Demon Venerable and Great Demon King perfectly.

“Only four demigods?”

Glancing toward the city, Xiao Weiqing flew in that direction.

As for the tens of thousands of Yao at the entrance and the several Demon Venerables, Xiao Weiqing had no desire to act against them. Times had changed; the Demonic Race Demigods were now his true targets.

According to the intelligence gathered so far, there were approximately six hundred Demonic Race Demigods, seventy percent of whom were attacking the Spirit Beast Civilization.

Another twenty percent of the Demonic Race Demigods were required to guard the various royal cities.

The number of demigods attacking the Blue Star Civilization was at most ten percent, roughly sixty to seventy individuals.

Over the past three months, Blue Star had recorded a total of thirty-one Demonic Race Demigods entering its world.

Before entering the Demon Realm.

Xiao Weiqing had assumed there would be at least seven or eight demigods here, since both the Night Owl Demigod and the Rat Race Demigod had fled back to the Demon Realm yesterday.

He hadn't expected there would only be four Yao demigods now.

In other words, excluding the six demigods who had attacked the Red Flower Base yesterday, only two Demonic Race Demigods had originally been left behind to stand guard.

“Perfect, I'll deal with them all at once.”

If there were too many Demonic Race Demigods, Xiao Weiqing wouldn't dare act blindly, but with only four, he didn't even consider them a threat.

Silently.

Xiao Weiqing slowed his speed as he approached the Yao city. Soon, two Yao characters appeared on the high city walls—Nakagawa.

Inside the city.

Within a certain tall building.

A heated argument was breaking out.

“Baizhong, I believe we should retreat. This is no place to linger,” Night Owl said solemnly.

The one named Baizhong was a Dog Clan demigod with white fur all over his body and a flame-shaped red mark on his forehead. He was powerful, his strength not inferior to Pan Shan's.

Pan Shan had led five demigods into Blue Star, while Baizhong had stayed to oversee the rear.

For three months.

Baizhong had been waiting—waiting for the entrance to stabilize again so he could enter Blue Star and take down the Human Race's Vermilion Bird Empire in one fell swoop.

He never expected the sudden bad news last night: the Night Owl Demigod had fled back to the Demon Realm in a pathetic state, the Yao army was decimated with less than one in ten remaining, and the Yao Race had suffered a total defeat.

Four of the six demigods had been slain.

This was the greatest loss since the war with the Blue Star Civilization began.

“Yes, Baizhong, let's retreat. Nakagawa City is too close to the entrance. If the humans charge in, none of us will escape.”

“I saw it with my own eyes. That human named Xiao Weiqing killed Pan Shan in just a few breaths. It was terrifying.”

The Rat Race Demigod also spoke up to persuade him; Xiao Weiqing's ruthlessness was still vivid in his mind.

“Hmph!”

“Killing Pan Shan in a few breaths? I don't believe it.”

“He must have used some treasure we don't know about,” Baizhong shouted. “As for the humans, they only know how to hide in their bases to survive. Would they dare enter the Demon Realm?”

“Even the Spirit Beast Civilization has fought us for over a decade. When have you ever seen them invade the Demon Realm?”

“The matter of retreat is not to be mentioned again.”

The Night Owl Demigod and the Rat Race Demigod exchanged looks of helplessness. With Pan Shan dead, Baizhong was the supreme commander and the strongest among them; they couldn't resist him.

Otherwise, they would face severe punishment, perhaps even having their Demon God Bloodline weakened. This was a rule established by the thirteen Demon Gods after the civilization war began.

In a war of civilizations, one must go all out; it was a fight to the death.

However, despite those words.

Both the Night Owl Demigod and the Rat Race Demigod had made up their minds: the moment things went south, they would retreat immediately. Even if they were punished, it was better than losing their lives.

In their view, Baizhong could not possibly be Xiao Weiqing's opponent. Now they only hoped the humans wouldn't dare enter the Demon Realm, but if they really did attack, they definitely wouldn't stay to defend the city.

Seeing that the Night Owl Demigod and the Rat Race Demigod were no longer mentioning retreat, Baizhong nodded with satisfaction.

“Rest assured. If that human Xiao Weiqing you spoke of dares to enter the Demon Realm, I will personally take action. I'd like to see if he really has three heads and six arms.”

Baizhong's body radiated a powerful Aura, even more intense than that of the Pan Shan Demigod.

This was the confidence brought by his own strength.

Right at that moment.

Suddenly.

A cold light flashed through the hall.

*Pfft!*

A massive pig head fell.

The Pig Clan demigod, who hadn't spoken the entire time, was killed instantly.

The sudden sneak attack terrified the remaining three demigods.

Baizhong did not hesitate for a second and immediately revealed his true form.

“Roar!”

A pure white giant dog appeared, the red flame on its forehead flickering as its four limbs stepped upon burning fires.

Night Owl crashed through the roof, intending to fly high into the sky.

The Rat Race Demigod fled in the opposite direction.

However.

How could Xiao Weiqing let them go? The moment he killed the Pig Clan demigod.

Golden light burst from within his body.

His Domain instantly enveloped the three demigods.

Boom~

Flames spread across Xiao Weiqing's entire body as he transformed into a flaming giant.

“Damn it!”

“It's Xiao Weiqing!”

Night Owl screamed in terror.

Baizhong was filled with shock upon hearing this. Even though he had revealed his true form, he still couldn't resist the pressure coming from all directions.

How was this possible?

Could this human really have killed Pan Shan using his own strength?

“Damn it!”

“Three against one, let's attack together!”

“Fine!”

The Night Owl Demigod and Rat Race Demigod responded simultaneously.

Baizhong's eyes were sharp as he opened his massive maw. The mark on his forehead flashed as he mobilized his Bloodline Power to the limit.

Crimson flames condensed in his mouth.

“Tiangou Fire!”

On the other side.

The Night Owl Demigod and Rat Race Demigod also attacked at the same time.

“Eagle Feather Strike!”

Countless sharp feathers condensed into an arrow and flew outward.

Indeed.

The Night Owl Demigod's attack was not aimed at Xiao Weiqing, but was intended to break through the Domain.

The Rat Race Demigod let out a shrill cry, carrying Mental Energy as it struck toward Xiao Weiqing.

After attacking, they didn't hesitate for a moment, following the Night Owl Demigod through the passage left by the arrow to fly out of the Domain.

If they didn't run now, when would they?

Within the Domain.

Everything was clearly presented in Xiao Weiqing's mind.

He had originally thought these three demigods were actually going to join forces to attack him, which would have played right into his hands, ensuring none could escape.

However.

He hadn't expected.

The Night Owl Demigod and Rat Race Demigod to sell out Baizhong without the slightest hesitation.

“I'll kill you first!”

The Night Owl Demigod was fast; chasing him would only waste more time.

Although the Rat Race Demigod had a mental attack, his strength was the weakest; he wouldn't be able to run far even if he tried.

So, Xiao Weiqing decided to kill the Baizhong Demigod first.

Playing with fire in front of him was simply like showing off one's slight skills before a master.

*Whoosh~*

Within the Domain, Xiao Weiqing reached his physical limit, rapidly assassinating the Baizhong Demigod. Facing the so-called Tiangou Fire, he simply waved his hand, and it vanished into thin air.

“How is this possible?”

Baizhong was completely dumbfounded. This was the fire bestowed upon him by the Great Demon God, and it was the source of his confidence in dealing with Xiao Weiqing.

But why was it different from what he imagined? His fire was like a child's toy in front of Xiao Weiqing, extinguished with a casual gesture.

“Mountain Elephant!”

*Thud!*

With just one strike.

Baizhong's massive head caved in, and blood gushed from his nostrils.

“Die!”

“Soul Slash!”

A diagonal slash.

A third of the massive dog's head was sliced away.

The giant dog's body stiffened and collapsed heavily, crushing several buildings.
