AWB Chapter 301 The Traitor of the Golden Cave, Persisting to the End
Chapter 301 The Traitor of the Golden Cave, Persisting to the End
The surroundings were barren and yellow, with dark clouds obscuring the sky in the distance, and below lay an army of countless demons.
"Report! The Immortal Lord has fallen in battle, and the demons are about to approach the Bear Clan's Lesser Immortal Dojo!"
"Report! The Tiger Clan of Fengshan in the southwest has suffered nearly half its losses, and the Tiger Clan's Little Immortal is still fighting to the death in the training grounds!"
"Report! Demons are advancing along the border. Most of the population has already evacuated to Xilan City, and a demon-slaying formation has been set up in the wilderness!"
"Report! Another distress signal has arrived from the North Sea. A large number of sea monsters, bewitched by evil spirits, are heading towards the Serpent Clan's Little Immortal Dojo!"
"..."
Countless messages came from all directions, leaving Daoist Zhenyi exhausted. The news of the Immortal Lord's death in battle was like a bolt from the blue.
Although she had learned various skills over the long years, she had never had the opportunity to develop macro-level command abilities. If it weren't for the fact that the Vice Sect Master's true form, the Golden Toad of Strength, was right beside her, she wouldn't know how to deal with this calamity in the cave that was no less severe than the one ten thousand years ago.
In reality, Su Ji didn't have much command ability for large-scale operations. He was only able to barely maintain the battle situation thanks to the help of Yan Tianchou's clone.
"Report! The demons seem to have abandoned their scattered small immortal temples and begun a large-scale advance towards White Tiger City, seemingly aiming to wipe out our command center in one fell swoop..."
Apart from newly promoted minor immortals and those who haven't accumulated enough experience, the minor immortals of the Tiger Clan, Bear Clan, and Snake Clan all became Immortal Generals as their blessed lands and grottoes advanced. This made them very difficult to deal with in the eyes of the evil spirits.
Now, the demons are gathering their forces and heading straight for White Tiger City. This seems like a terrible thing, but in fact, it can be used to make some judgments.
"If the demons are advancing step by step, it means that the demonic calamity in the outside world is expanding rapidly. Once the demons concentrate their forces, it means either they are in a hurry, or the demonic calamity in the outside world has been severely hit."
Yan Tianchou continued his analysis:
"In this way, we only need to hold the line, and if necessary, we can even move the command post to Xilan City, which will allow us to hold out until the external demonic disaster ends."
"At that time, we will either experience the same scene as ten thousand years ago again, and with the evil forces running out of manpower, we will definitely be able to gradually reclaim our territory."
"Either the Golden Toad Great Sage will lead immortals and gods to come directly from the outside world to provide assistance, then we can wipe out all the evil spirits in one fell swoop and restore the Golden Cave Heaven to its original state!"
With Yan Tianchou's analysis, those present immediately began to deploy defenses on all sides. The east and west sides were protected by Xilan City and Dongli City, the north side only had some sea monsters coming ashore, and the south side became the important direction of defense.
"Yu Baichuan, lead the mech division to the southeast to deploy defenses!"
Yu Baichuan was originally the garrison commander of the south gate of White Tiger City. After more than 30 years of training, he is now a senior mecha pilot.
"Hu Yuzhu, lead your troops to the southwest to defend!"
Before the Brahma Emperor suppressed the Undying Demon Lord, many soldiers fought against the Barbarian God Clan's army in the White Rock Mountains. Hu Yuzhu was one of the generals who survived the sinkhole and is now a master of the God of Strength level.
"Qian Feng, lead the Ghost Tribe to the due south direction. We must not abandon the Xingjin Mountains until the very last moment!"
Qian Feng had already become a ghost immortal. Before this demonic disaster broke out, he and Su Ji, in their golden toad form, were training in the Golden Cave Heaven. Now they have become the mainstay in resisting evil spirits.
"..."
As orders were given, units began to deploy to the front lines. Many people knew that this time they might not return, but they still marched forward with great enthusiasm.
Half a day later, fierce battles broke out on all sides.
Yu Baichuan's mecha division fought steadily and relentlessly, not letting a single demon cross the defense line.
Qian Feng's Ghost Division absorbed the Ghost Immortals of the Corpse Immortal Sect, and not only held the line of defense, but also took the initiative to send troops to fight back and forth among the demon army in the Xingjin Mountain Range.
Hu Yuzhu's soldiers mobilized their qi and blood, which was relatively effective against evil spirits, and the battle was evenly matched.
However, everyone knew that this was only the vanguard of the evil forces. The final battle would begin when they brought in the demons to attack the various dojos.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Countless sea monsters came ashore from the north. They seemed to have mutated, growing hands and feet that could move on the ground. If it weren't for the timely message from the snake fairy, they would have actually reached the outskirts of White Tiger City.
Fairy Zhenyi, wielding the White Tiger Immortal Sword, took the lead and slaughtered most of the vanguard of the sea monster army. Behind her, the evolved "Sea People" of the Golden Cave Sect from the North Sea also joined the fray, fighting fiercely against the sea monster army.
However, less than an hour later, the entire demon army arrived. Yu Baichuan's mecha army suffered losses, Qian Feng's ghost troops held the pass, and Hu Yuzhu's soldiers began to retreat.
Seeing this, Su Ji followed Yan Tianchou's advice and issued an order for Xilan City to send troops to support Hu Yuzhu. He even sent out the Wind and Fire Fairy that Yan Tianchou had transformed into.
At first, everything went smoothly, but as Feng Huo Xiao Xian charged towards the demon army, Li Shen Hu Yu Zhu suddenly turned against them and joined the demon army in besieging Feng Huo Xiao Xian.
"Hu Yuzhu has actually become a traitor!"
This was unexpected by many, including some of Hu Yuzhu's close associates.
However, reality is cruel. Hu Yuzhu not only betrayed the city, but also set a trap to kill Feng Huo Xiaoxian. Once Feng Huo Xiaoxian is dead, the Xilan City defense line to the west of Baihu City will be destroyed.
"Hu Yuzhu, if it weren't for the Golden Cave Sect providing you with cultivation resources, how could you have broken through to the God of Strength in just twenty or thirty years... Have you even considered the consequences of betraying the demons!"
The Little Fairy of Wind and Fire rebuked him vehemently, but the Mighty God Hu Yuzhu remained unfazed and said:
"The future of the Golden Cave Sect is over. Only by following the Undying Demon Lord can we survive... The Undying Demon Lord is about to refine the origin of the earth and become the Mother of the Earth. Now is the time to submit to the Undying Demon Lord and establish merit!"
These words actually swayed many soldiers, and chaos immediately descended upon the ranks below. Before long, Hu Yuzhu and the demon trapped and killed the Wind and Fire Fairy, who had nowhere to escape, and then began to hunt down those soldiers who refused to defect.
"Hu Yuzhu has betrayed us..."
Su Ji hadn't expected that Hu Yuzhu would actually betray them and join the evil forces right under their noses. That set of seductive rhetoric couldn't have been fabricated in such a short time.
"Could it be that Hu Yuzhu was possessed by the Undying Demon Lord when the ground collapsed, becoming a poisonous needle planted by the Undying Demon Lord in the Golden Cave Sect..."
It's no wonder Su Ji made this guess, because Hu Yuzhu's martial arts talent was just too good. It turned out that he wasn't a late bloomer, but rather that he had been transformed by the Undying Demon Lord's essence.
Not long after, Xilan City, having lost Feng Huo Xiao Xian, fell. Hu Yuzhu used this as a breakthrough point and began leading his demon army toward Baihu City.
"White Tiger City is the place where the White Tiger Immortal General attained enlightenment; we must defend it to the very end!"
Large numbers of people fled towards Dongli City through the underground passages. Fairy Zhenyi led her army in retreat, and Qianfeng's Ghost Division also began to abandon the Xingjin Mountain Range...
Under the control of Fairy Zhenyi, the White Tiger Immortal General, who had been awakened by Su Ji, hovered high above the city and launched an attack on the demon army.
However, demons roamed all around. Besides powerful figures like Hu Yuzhu, there were hundreds of demons at the level of divine soldiers. Even with its tight formation, White Tiger City was still going to be destroyed.
Su Ji controlled the golden toad's physical body to kill more than a dozen divine weapon-level demons, but he did not have the opportunity to fight the Undying Demon Lord's clone Hu Yuzhu head-on. Seeing that some evil demons had already invaded White Tiger City, he couldn't help but sigh.
"The people of White Tiger City have already evacuated, and it's time to abandon White Tiger City and retreat to Dongli City..."
If Dongli City is also breached by demons, Su Ji will continue eastward to the Bear Clan's Little Immortal Dojo, where he should be able to hold out for another day or two.
Fairy Zhenyi's face was filled with murderous intent, and she said with a frosty expression:
"If it weren't for that traitor Hu Yuzhu, the demons would never have been able to break into White Tiger City so easily. They deserve to die!"
With the protection of numerous villains, Hu Yuzhu found it difficult to break through to get close.
Of course, if Su Ji, Fairy Zhenyi, and Qian Feng were to force their way into the demon army, they might have a chance to kill Hu Yuzhu on the spot, but they might end up accelerating the demise of the Golden Cave Immortal Realm by sacrificing their own interests.
Therefore, Fairy Zhenyi had no choice but to swallow her anger and, together with Su Ji and the others, cover the cultivators as they retreated toward Dongli City.
Countless demons swarmed along the way, and even Fairy Zhenyi was injured by the demons. It wasn't until Su Ji returned in time that he was able to rescue Fairy Zhenyi.
"Of the many lesser immortals in the Golden Cave Wonderland, only three should remain now... Could it be that the Golden Cave Wonderland is going to be destroyed in my hands?"
Fairy Zhenyi is the sect leader of the Golden Cave Sect. She seized back the Golden Cave Sect's orthodoxy from the evil immortal Zixiu and continued the sect, which had been broken for over ten thousand years. Unexpectedly, she has now fallen into such a desperate situation.
"All the powerful beings here are surely watching this place closely. They will definitely not let the Undying Demon's conspiracy succeed!"
With the Golden Toad's physical body holding Fairy Zhenyi in its mouth, Su Ji broke through towards Dongli City...
At the same time, a huge roar suddenly resounded in the center of the White Rock Mountains. However, as the Undying Demon Lord made his move, the Five Elements Earth Pillar Calamity Formation returned to normal, giving Su Ji, who was trapped inside, no time to escape.
Su Ji showed no sign of discouragement and looked up at the night sky.
At some unknown time, a thin line extended from the dim moon, and as time passed, it eventually transformed into a huge blade more than ten miles long.
"Ok?"
The Undying Demon Lord was greatly shocked. He couldn't understand why an Emperor would attack him at this time.
At this moment, it represents the origin of the earth. Anyone who is in harmony with the Dao and dares to attack it will suffer a backlash from the heavens and earth, resulting in damage to their Dao foundation.
The powerful avatars are no match for it, and the Emperor's avatars are wary of the backlash from heaven and earth. At most, the Heavenly Emperor would have to intervene to suppress it in the final stage, rather than what is happening now.
At the same time, a pair of fiery red wings unfolded behind the blade, revealing the figure of the Phoenix Clan's Western King.
The next instant, a sound that resounded throughout the heavens and earth rang out.
"By order of the Heavenly Emperor, I will use the Rakshasa Imperial Weapon to slay the Undying Demon Lord!"
Even the Barbarian Emperor, due to the drawbacks of the innate divine light, merged with the giant island of the North Sea. At this stage, only the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor, who was demoted to the Western King, are capable of unleashing the power of an Emperor at any time.
However, even with such combat power, the Western King still had to consider the backlash from the Undying Demon Lord before his death.
The appearance of the Rakshasa Emperor Weapon became a perfect object to withstand the backlash from the Undying Demon Lord, which dispelled the Western King's worries and allowed him to obey the Heavenly Court's order to come here and kill the Undying Demon Lord.
"cut!"
The Rakshasa Emperor Weapon unleashed ninety percent of its power in the hands of the Western King. After all, the Undying Demon Lord was only a being with some characteristics of an emperor, and he had no confidence in withstanding this attack.
Under the watchful eyes of countless immortals and gods, the Undying Demon Lord was constantly repairing himself, but he couldn't keep up with the attack speed of the Rakshasa Emperor Weapon, and he didn't even have time to pay attention to the Five Elements Earth Pillar Calamity Formation.
"call out!"
Su Ji immediately broke free, ignoring the demonic calamity on the ground, and instead leaped towards the entrance of the Golden Cave Heaven. (End of Chapter)
