168: Timely rescue

Near Tianlin City.

After receiving the news, Su Feng quickly rushed over, bringing Baras and the Yin Liao Soul-Devouring Flood Dragon with him.

The massive body of the flood dragon streaked through the high sky, bringing with it gusts of powerful wind.

"I only left for three days; I didn't expect such massive changes to have occurred on Blue Star."

"However, it's a good opportunity to test my current strength. I don't yet know what level my power has reached, and I also want to see what the abilities of an Eighth-Rank Demon are..."

Standing atop the head of the Yin Liao Soul-Devouring Flood Dragon, Su Feng soon spotted the dense army of demons in the distance.

Meanwhile, the human side was already showing signs of decline.

"Why are these demons endless?! They've been attacking for so long, and the number of wounded is increasing, yet those demons don't seem to be decreasing at all!"

"The civilians should be finished evacuating by now, right? When is it our turn to retreat? They can't possibly expect us to completely block the demons here, can they?!"

"I can't take it anymore. I just watched with my own eyes as my teammate's body was torn apart by demons. If this continues, I'll die too; I'll definitely die..."

At this moment, the tide of the battle was already overwhelmingly one-sided.

The Eighth-Rank Experts still had not intervened in the course of the war, leaving the fighting to adventurers of the Seventh Rank and below.

Furthermore, after locating the emergence points, the demons had dispatched a significant force, intending to completely break the seal of the Abyss.

This had pinned down some of the Dragon Kingdom's Eighth-Rank Experts.

"Damn it!"

"We still underestimated the speed of the demons' invasion. And we can't make a move; if Eighth-Rank Experts intervene in the battle, the situation might change completely!"

Luo Yuhua looked down at the crowd below, his expression somewhat despondent.

Although the casualty situation was still relatively optimistic—after all, the main focus was on evacuating ordinary civilians rather than engaging in life-or-death struggles with the demons—

they could only wait to gather resources before they could launch a counterattack against the demons.

"Being eroded away bit by bit like this is truly frustrating!"

Song Yun also clenched his fists, staring at Zexio, who was floating a few hundred meters away with a smile on his face.

That guy was clearly having a great time!

"The Dragon Kingdom has more than just you three Eighth-Rank adventurers, right?! Why have you three been the only ones blocking me, yet refusing to attack?"

Zexio licked his lips with his long, crimson tongue, his face full of undisguised mockery: "Humans are truly cowardly, only knowing how to retreat blindly. If I had been born a thousand years ago, the Dragon Kingdom would already be a part of the Abyss by now!"

Roar!

Before Zexio could continue, a dragon's roar that shook the heavens echoed out.

At this moment, the battlefield seemed to enter a brief period of stagnation.

Whether human or demon, everyone involuntarily looked toward the distant horizon.

A figure that blotted out the sky was rushing rapidly toward Tianlin City.

The powerful magic surrounding it was awe-inspiring.

As the Yin Liao Soul-Devouring Flood Dragon sped over, Zexio was only slightly taken aback.

Immediately after, he regained his composure.

"A Seventh-Rank flood dragon, that is indeed rare!"

"But wanting to join the battle... it's still not enough!"

Zexio narrowed his eyes and suddenly spotted a young man standing with his hands behind his back atop the massive head of the Yin Liao Soul-Devouring Flood Dragon.

Standing behind him was another demon whose strength was in no way inferior to his own.

"A demon?!"

"How have I never seen this guy in the Abyss?!"

"Could it be a newly born Eighth-Rank Demon?"

Zexio's initially tense expression now relaxed.

"With another Eighth-Rank Demon intervening, the battlefield will instantly tip in my favor. These guys won't be able to stop my advance now."

A glint of greed flashed in Zexio's eyes: "Maybe... I can keep these guys here permanently!"

Boom!

Before Zexio could think any further, he saw a figure in front of him rapidly growing larger.

It was none other than that demon, having coalesced his arm into a long spear, rushing violently toward him.

"What's going on?!"

"Has this guy been kicked in the head by a donkey?"

But before Zexio could fully react, he had no choice but to use his own demonic body to take the hit head-on.

Bang!

Dust and debris scattered everywhere; Zexio, who had been floating in the sky, was directly smashed into the ground.

"What's happening!?"

"Are the demons infighting?!"

Luo Yuhua and the others were dumbfounded.

They had naturally sensed the moment the demon appeared.

Their hearts immediately sank.

Resisting one Eighth-Rank Demon was already strenuous enough.

But who could have imagined that the opponent would actually go after Zexio?

After Baras intervened in the battle, the Yin Liao Soul-Devouring Flood Dragon also used its massive body to completely sweep away those low-rank demons.

Every time its tail swept past, it would kill quite a few demons.

The situation on the battlefield turned around in an instant.

"Reinforcements! Did the Dragon Kingdom's high command come to support us? Did they adjust the plan temporarily and bring such strong helpers?"

"Holy crap! This flood dragon is so cool! I knew it... the Dragon Kingdom wouldn't abandon us. I'd better kill a few more demons while I have the chance!"

"Oh my god! The demon army has been cut in half in an instant; this killing speed is simply inconceivable!"

...

After the Yin Liao Soul-Devouring Flood Dragon and Baras intervened, the direction of the battle became very clear.

Luo Yuhua's mouth twitched: "Does this... count as us deploying an Eighth-Rank Expert?"

The situation before them left everyone confused.

Could there have been some kind of dispute?!

Just then, a nimble figure floated over rapidly, leaving everyone somewhat astonished.

This young man was truly too composed.

If they weren't mistaken, he must have come down from the body of that Yin Liao Soul-Devouring Flood Dragon.

Furthermore, they couldn't see any magical energy flowing on him at all.

His strength was somewhat terrifying!

"This senior... may I ask which faction you are from?!"

Luo Yuhua racked his brain but could not find any information about the young man before him in his memory.

However, being able to control a demon and a flood dragon, he must be backed by a massive faction.

"The Dragon Kingdom!"

The young man's expression remained indifferent, just watching the demons fighting in the distance.

Hiss!

The group involuntarily sized up the young man.

"I'm in a hurry; I have other things to do."

"I'll take all these demons."

Su Feng raised his palm, and a gentle breeze slowly blew past.

The demons below all fell down involuntarily; they didn't even see any damaging skills used.

"Devour of the Nether Moon!"

In the previously clear sky, a strange and sinister crescent moon instantly appeared, and all the demons below were involuntarily sucked upward toward it.

Before everyone's eyes, those demons entered the Nether Moon and vanished without a sound.
