Chapter 444: Chapter 442: Killing Intent Of course, the monsters weren’t attacking just to send themselves to their deaths. As more and more monsters stepped into the array. The white mist generated by the array was being consumed intensely, becoming thinner and weaker in effect. Meanwhile, the so-called Five Kings of Yishan made their move. ’Whoosh whoosh whoosh!’ Indistinct phantoms entered the city defense array, weaving agilely back and forth, making any magic nearly impossible to hit. At the same time, they swung their sharp claws, sending semi-circular blue wind blades several feet long shooting towards the cultivators on the city tower. "Quick, dodge!" The cultivators on the city tower dodged in a frenzy. Yet there were disciples who couldn’t evade in time and were sliced into two, dying miserably without even uttering a sound! Most importantly, the top of the city tower originally stood round stone pillars as thick as big trees, carved densely with complex lines and emitting a faint white glow. Two pillars were hit by the wind blades. Though not immediately shattered, they showed significant cracks, and their glow dimmed. These pillars were the array base of the city defense array, each one being a crucial component of the formation. Once damaged, the originally city-encompassing white mist’s density became slightly reduced. It was imaginable that if these pillars were all destroyed, the city defense array would cease to exist. Everyone would have to face these massive ferocious monsters with their flesh! "Stop them, protect the array base!" someone shouted angrily. Then a flurry of talismans and magic turned into streaks of light flying towards those Leopard Men. But they couldn’t hit at all because their speed was just too fast! The three slightly smaller Leopard Men had speeds close to the level of sound, occasionally reaching supersonic speeds at peak. And the two Leopard Men with sharp horns definitely exceeded supersonic speeds. Even Lou Yi’s gaze became serious. After probing, he assessed the precise cultivation levels of the Leopard Men. Three were at the peak of Little Demon, one was an early stage Demon General, and one was a mid-stage Demon General. Not to mention the Little Demon, the speed of that early stage Demon General was not inferior to his own, reaching around 1.5 times the speed of sound. The mid-stage Demon General’s speed clearly exceeded some, possibly close to twice the speed of sound! In martial arts, there is only the unbreakable, only the fast that remains undefeated. When speed reaches the extreme, it becomes extremely troublesome. The five Leopard Men were simply coming and going freely in the city defense array, as if walking on flat ground. Fortunately, Elder He, this Foundation Establishment great cultivator, was still intimidating to them. "Stay here for me!" A twenty-foot-long semi-transparent black giant hand, billowing with dark smoke. Abruptly appeared above the head of the weakest Leopard Man, then struck down hard! The expression of the Leopard Man changed involuntarily. Because it found that the air around it had frozen, the immense pressure was fully injected into itself, making its movements suddenly stiff. "Sky-ripping Claw!" The strongest black-horned Leopard Man flashed its figure under the giant hand, swung several claws fiercely towards the sky, the dense blue light slashing through as if trying to tear the sky apart! A dozen gigantic wind blades formed a circle, then charged upwards, unrelentingly colliding with the black giant hand! ’Bang!’ Sharp wounds instantly appeared on the black giant hand, causing it to start disintegrating and shattering. The scattered black energy fell chaotically downward, ’boom boom boom,’ crushing a large number of monsters. Yet the palm center of the giant hand continued its advance unabated. It reached the front of the two Leopard Men and was forcibly shattered by the horned Leopard Man’s sharp claws, turning into a large area of black wind blowing towards all directions! On its face, however, appeared a touch of abnormal flush. This made Lou Yi, observing secretly from the side, feel stirred in his heart. It’s clear that while the Leopard Men’s speed is unrivaled, their strength is weaker compared to monsters of the same level. Under Elder He’s intimidation, the Leopard Men’s actions were somewhat restrained, yet no one could do anything about them. After today’s battle ended. The ground beneath the city was left with a sea of monster corpses, blood flowing like rivers, but the two array base pillars on the city tower top were completely destroyed. Calculating seriously, this side of the cultivators still suffered losses. After all, the number of monsters was too many, merely expendable. Yet the number of array base pillars on the city tower was limited, each missing a piece weakened the array’s power by a fraction. "It’s really hard to kill them," Elder He frowned deeply, finding it difficult. If there were only one or two Leopard Men, he could completely fight desperately using secret techniques to kill them. The key was five Leopard Men, two Demon Generals, and three that were as difficult as common Demon Generals. If he dared to take risks with his body, the outcome would likely not be good. The possibility of falling was not high, but he would be severely injured, leading to the fall of the city, and that would be a serious crime. "Damn it all because of that turtle Chen who is unwilling to help!" Elder He, full of anger, couldn’t help but swear loudly. "Master, are there other elders in the sect?" Lou Yi asked. "There are those guarding the sect, some assigned to protect the small world, some transferred to perform the duties of the Human Race sect at the Abyss, and some in closed-door life-or-death seclusion. The rest, those who can be sent out have been sent." Elder He shook his head. A sect manages a country and many small worlds, spreading too thin, and upon encountering the Demon Clan attack, it’s impossible to keep up. "Master, how about we go to Pan City to invite Elder Chen over?" Lü Tianran proposed. "It’s useless, that old turtle is determined, a rarity I’ve seen in my life. Once he decides something, not even ten dragons can bring him back." Seeing Elder He in a bad mood, many disciples were at a loss, not daring to speak up. Lou Yi was calmly standing still, face like a still water. At night. A figure silently walked out of the room, ’whoosh whoosh whoosh,’ flashing a few times, quickly leaving the city. Upon arriving at the Demon Clan’s headquarters, its appearance was revealed, looking like someone in their thirties, appearance dull and ordinary. Before him, countless monsters lied prone. Red, yellow, white, black, all fluffy chaos, there were wolves, tigers, and leopards, all big and bulky, some seven to eight feet long, the dense stench was overwhelming. Lou Yi naturally had no interest in these little monsters, walking straight towards the deeper part. Utilizing his Disguise Talent, he made these monsters completely ignore his existence. Even at a distance of a few feet, they didn’t perceive a figure moving in front of them, as if they were blind. Lou Yi walked grandly into the deepest area as if it were a land without monsters. There stood a gigantic stone table, four to five feet in diameter, rugged and uneven, seemingly pieced together violently with many stones. Five glittering Leopard Men, some sitting on the stone table, some walking around aimlessly, surrounded by a group of little monsters crouched respectfully, as if waiting to be commanded. Lou Yi scanned with his eyes, his pupils suddenly shrank, overwhelming killing intent erupted from the depths of his heart, almost unable to maintain his disguise. It turned out that beside the stone table, the ground was piled with a stack of dense white bones. Mostly ribs and skulls, with a few still having their flesh, faces showing extreme fear... These monsters were eating humans! Though aware of this long ago, Lou Yi was still encountering it for the first time, his emotions boiling. He instinctively distanced himself, and after calming down, dared to approach again. The sense of the Demon General level is extremely keen. If they detect something amiss, his assassination plans would be difficult to succeed. "That old Human Race elder is truly troublesome, I’m afraid not one of us is his match singly!" "He’s strong alone, but what’s the use, once the city’s array is broken, we’ll swarm him, he won’t return alive!" "I’ve heard that Human Race cultivators’ flesh is rich in Spiritual Qi, extremely tender. Eating these ordinary people is not satisfying, we need to snag a few cultivators to feast on." "Fifth brother, don’t rush, once we break the city, those cultivators will be open season!" "Hahahahaha..." Lou Yi quietly stayed aside, listening to the five Leopard Men chat, waiting for an opening to seize. Several hours passed, the five Leopard Men still sticking together, without any intention to separate, making Lou Yi frown. Even if he could instantly surprise or seriously wound one, he would face the encirclement of the other four Leopard Men at the same time. The speed of these Leopard Men is astonishing, not to be underestimated, or he would face the risk of falling. Just then, he heard faint voices coming from not far away. "Help..." Lou Yi’s expression changed slightly, stealthily heading toward the direction of the voice. ...
