Chapter 249: Chapter 35: Coming for Him (Two-in-One Chapter)_4
If the Dragon Lord were to make a move, they would surely seize the opportunity to strike like lightning!
The Dragon Lord sensed the killing intent of the two, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, as the enemy was at the end of their rope. But the more desperate they became, the more fearsome they were, not knowing whether they would be pushed to a dead end and resort to some irreversible attack, dragging them down together.
In their journey of cultivation, they had experienced countless battles over ten thousand years. With abundant experience and a broadened horizon, they had grown more cautious and prudent.
After all, if they suffered grievous injuries, even if they managed to take down Li Hao and his group, they might be swallowed by others upon their return.
Although the three Demon Kings were temporary allies, they were not of one mind; such concerns were the reason they did not choose to fight Li Hao and his group to the death. Otherwise, without these concerns, they would have already fought with all their might.
Beyond the pass, the sounds of battle roared, but on Li Hao’s side, the three stood in confrontation with the three Demon Kings, none of them making a move.
Each party’s energy was locked onto the other, waiting for a gap and an opportunity.
If the Demons outside the pass were to reach Li Hao and the others at this moment, it would be the opportunity for the three Demon Kings to attack.
But as the slaughter continued, neither side moved.
Compared with the fierce battles outside the pass, this place seemed unusually silent.
The battle still raged on, and the number of Grandmasters who had come to reinforce was not small since, at that time, more than half of the world’s Grandmasters had convened for the discussion.
However, the number of Grandmasters under the Demon King Wan Shan was not as numerous, primarily relying on several Great Demons of the Three Immortal Realms leading the charge, causing Grandmasters to perish one after another outside the pass.
Demon King Wan Shan narrowed his eyes, and a slight smile curled on his lips as he saw his forces gaining the upper hand.
But just then, outside Dragon Pass Road, a thundering of horse hooves approached.
Demon King Wan Shan’s face changed drastically, and looking up, he saw reinforcements arriving, a vast banner gradually becoming visible atop Dragon Pass Road, fluttering proudly in the wind.
It was indeed an official army that had come to the rescue!
Demon King Wan Shan’s face looked awful, as this place was after all the border of the Dayu Divine Dynasty, where it was not surprising for armies to come to reinforce. However, he hadn’t expected them to arrive so fast.
The several beacon signals from earlier would cause nearby reinforcements to arrive one after another; the longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it became.
“Shall we try?”
The silver-robed youth glanced and said with a frown to Demon King Wan Shan.
His words meant for Demon King Wan Shan to take the initiative and test out Li Hao’s mysterious attack.
If Demon King Wan Shan himself did not act, neither he nor the Dragon Lord would naturally charge forward for him, after all, it wasn’t their own sons who would be dying.
Demon King Wan Shan had an ugly expression. The death of Brother Gao had left him apprehensive, feeling as though he had been killed by a mere mung bean, in an inexplicably tragic manner.
But he also knew that if he didn’t break the stalemate, they could only retreat if they dragged it out any longer.
And the reason he had summoned the army without a moment’s delay was precisely because he didn’t want to give the other side a chance to breathe.
After all, with Brother Gao dead and their combat strength reduced, if the human race were given a chance to catch their breath, there would be no opportunity for revenge anymore!
“I’ll do it!”
Thinking of his deceased child, Demon King Wan Shan’s eyes emitted a fierce light, and with a roar, he took the initiative to break the deadlock.
His body swelled dramatically, unleashing an overwhelming demonic aura, revealing his true form, and then he slammed a giant palm ferociously towards the ground.
Feng Boping and Song Qiumo both changed colors, knowing that in their current state, they could not withstand the blow. If they were to act, the two Demon Kings at their side would seize the chance to strike at them.
Li Hao took a deep breath and offered up the sacred heart talisman awarded to him by His Majesty.
The talisman absorbed a trace of his power, quickly activated the runes, and burst forth with divine light that spanned thousands of feet, transforming into a dazzling sun that rose in front of Li Hao, enveloping the three of them and blocking that demonic hand that spanned hundreds of meters.
