Chapter 778: Confrontation with Demonic Entities

"What’s so funny?" the Demon General demanded, his voice laced with incredulity. The other demons were equally perplexed, their faces frozen in shock. How could they find humor in this precarious predicament?

Even Shi Ji’s usually impassive countenance began to show signs of cracking as he caught the infectious laughter of Xiao Yun and the others hiding in the void. His gaze narrowed, fixing on the direction where they were concealed.

Shi Ji’s eyes narrowed as he gazed at Shenlian Yingyue. "You seem so calm and carefree, what’s behind that mask? Are you hiding something? Or do you have some, backup?" He hesitated over the last word, unsure if he should reveal his suspicion.

Shenlian Yingyue’s smile grew wider, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Oh, I just thought, since you humans summoned entities from your realm to fight against me, it’s only fair that I call upon my own, allies to join the fun." Her voice was laced with a playful tone, one that sent shivers down Shi Ji’s spine.

The room fell silent as Bi Xue, the demon prince, spoke up in disbelief. "You mean to say this is a, game to you?" Her voice dripped with incredulity. It was the first time she had ever encountered someone who didn’t cower in fear at the mere mention of demons.

Shenlian Yingyue’s laughter echoed through the room, a joyful sound that belied the destruction that was about to unfold. "Ah, yes. A game. Although, I must admit, I’ve been waiting for this moment for quite some time." She gazed around at the cityscape before her, her expression tinged with regret. "I apologize, houses and land and forests and planet. I never meant for this to happen."

With a bow, she apologized to the very earth itself, her words heavy with sorrow. "But alas, war between humans and demons is inevitable. And I, I fear I am its harbinger."

Everyone’s expressions shifted awkwardly as their lips twitched. What an eccentric human!

No sooner had she finished speaking than she darted forward to confront Infernal Volcanic. At the same time, Shenlian Yinzhu and Jun Mu Yang charged toward Demon King Shi, while Bing Xue engaged Yao in battle. Zhiyi squared off against the black-cloaked demon, and Feng Huang, alongside Hong Zuan, clashed with the six-armed ice entity.

Xiao Li, Xiao Lan, Tian Tian, Huan Huan, and Zhizhi clashed fiercely with the Demon Generals and Upper-Rank Demons.

Xie Xie and Xiao Mei scanned the battlefield cautiously. They waited for the Invisible Demon to reveal itself. Sure enough, as the chaos of battle erupted on both sides, they noticed a strange ripple in the void. Determined not to let anyone fall victim to an ambush, Xie Xie’s golden scorpions burst forth from the ground and air, forming a barrier that encircled the Invisible Demon’s hiding place.

The Invisible Demon’s eyes widened in shock, he hadn’t expected to run into the King of Golden Scorpions here.

Meanwhile, the Red Snake’s and Thunder White Wolves’ troops were locked in combat with hundreds of demons. Reinforcements from a nearby city, alerted to the chaos in Demon City, had arrived in droves. The number of demons swelled to over five hundred.

Xiao Yun had employed a technique to mask their auras, making them untraceable. The demons couldn’t discern whether they were facing humans or beasts. All they knew was that these cloaked figures were allies of Shenlian Yingyue, the human who had plunged their city into chaos.

Meanwhile, the battles raged with unrelenting intensity. Shenlian Yingyue’s body trembled slightly under the strain of her fierce duel with Infernal Volcanic. She would occasionally glance back to check on her companions. Seeing that they held their ground without issue, she refocused her attention on her opponent.

Not a word passed between Shenlian Yingyue and Infernal Volcanic. There was no need for conversation, their actions spoke louder than words. Their only goal was to overpower one another.

The two combatants floated high in the air, their relentless exchanges generating massive shockwaves that shattered mountains and leveled entire buildings. Despite the protective barrier surrounding the city, it proved futile against the overwhelming force of these extraordinary beings. The rest of the battlefield was no better, the chaos unleashed by the others had turned the city into ruins.

Above them, the storm grew fiercer. The darkened skies turned even more foreboding, and torrents of rain lashed the battlefield. Thunder rumbled ominously, yet the tempest had no bearing on the battles unfolding below.

None of Shenlian Yingyue’s companions struggled against their demonic foes. Their strength either matched or exceeded that of the demons, and though they were unable to fully destroy their souls, they had no difficulty beating them into submission.
