Chapter 440: Relentless Pursue, Nowhere To Go (2)

“There’s no hurry. Even if they’re at the first rank, how long can they last?” A first-rank demonic beast sneered. “This is the Demon Realm. We can replenish our Demon Realm army at any time, and their spiritual essence is not endless. If we can kill these first-rank humans, it will be worth it.”

He added, “Besides, that human hasn’t appeared yet.”

What they feared the most was Zhou Shu.

During the previous battle, Zhou Shu had always been the one to deal with them. This time, he actually didn’t appear. The demonic beasts were bewildered.

They suspected that Zhou Shu was plotting something. After all, even the Great Demon Yao Lian had died in his hands. If he dug a trap, none of the first-rank demonic beasts were confident that they could survive.

“He showed up!”

After another fifteen minutes, Meng Bai and the others had exhausted most of their spiritual essence and had no choice but to retreat. At this moment, Zhou Shu finally appeared.

As soon as he appeared, the hundred-plus first-rank demonic beasts in the air involuntarily retreated dozens of feet.

When they came to their senses, they looked around awkwardly.

Realizing that their companions were also frightened by Zhou Shu, they immediately relaxed. If everyone was like this, they wouldn’t be the only embarrassed ones.

Boom!

Zhou Shu took a step forward, and the ground shook. The Demon Realm army on the ground involuntarily took a step back.

Demonic beasts also had intelligence. They hadn’t forgotten how Zhou Shu had been like not long ago.

In that battle, countless demonic beasts had died under his sword. This human was invincible.

“Those who retreat will be killed without mercy!” a first-rank demonic beast roared.

The Demon Realm army hesitated for a moment before roaring and continuing to pounce forward.

“Divine ability, One Against Ten Thousand!” Zhou Shu sighed helplessly. His body lit up, and a translucent city wall that stretched for dozens of kilometers appeared at the top of the mountain.

The first-grade demonic beasts looked at each other. This man had become even stronger!

They could see that the translucent wall was definitely longer than last time.

An unbelievable feeling flashed through their hearts. With such powerful cultivation, logically speaking, it would be extremely difficult to become more powerful. Why was this man always stronger than before?

Could this be the genius of the human race?

Realizing this, all the first-rank demonic beasts saw the killing intent in each other’s eyes. They couldn’t let such a human continue to live.

If he was allowed to live, the human race might really produce an expert comparable to a Demon King!

Although he was strong now, he was still a distance away from the Demon King realm. With more experts on their side, they might be able to kill him!

“Everyone, charge!” a humanoid demonic beast said in a deep voice.

“Charge!” All the humanoid demonic beasts let out a low roar.

Hundreds of innate divine abilities swept toward Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu looked up, and a mocking expression seemed to flash across his face.

Boom!

Hundreds of lights landed on Zhou Shu’s body, but he actually didn’t dodge and allowed himself to be swallowed by the lights.

The group of humanoid demonic beasts that attacked together was all stunned.

What situation was this?

He knew that he was no match for them, so he simply accepted his fate?

After taking more than a hundred attacks, even a Great Demon would die.

Boom!

Just as the humanoid demonic beasts were feeling bewildered, another loud bang erupted.

The mountain standing before them collapsed with a crash.

The mountain collapsed!

The expressions of the demonic beasts changed, and they all cursed.

A landslide was not a threat to first-rank demonic beasts, but it was different for the Demon Realm army.

For a moment, they couldn’t care about anything else. They all took action to protect the Demon Realm army and temporarily retreated.

A mountain collapsed. Everyone could see how big the commotion was this time.

Almost everything within a radius of dozens of kilometers was affected by the landslide. The ground shook, dust flew, and rocks flew in all directions. Such power was enough to kill anyone below the sixth rank of the Martial Dao.

If a stone hit them, even a fourth or fifth-rank martial artist would be severely injured.

Unless one was above the third rank of the Martial Dao, it was difficult to resist such a natural disaster.

The Ten Nations Alliance army watched the landslide in shock.

Although first-rank martial artists had the ability to overturn rivers and seas, this was just an exaggeration. If a first-rank martial artist attacked with all his might, they could indeed collapse a small mountain.

But what collapsed in front of them was not a small mountain!

This mountain was hundreds of meters tall and stretched for almost a hundred kilometers!

Not to mention a first-rank martial artist, even an attack from a Great Demon wouldn’t have such power.

“Everyone, continue!” Zhou Shu descended from the sky, his face a little pale.

Taking the lead, he flew forward along the river bank.

In his consciousness, Zhou Shu faced Shi Changsheng and cupped his hands. “Elder Shi, thank you! I owe you a favor this time.”

“I’m glad you remember.” The figure created by Shi Changsheng was somewhat illusory. He seemed to be very tired, and even his voice sounded weak.

“I’ve used up most of my ten thousand years of accumulation. I won’t have the strength to fight anymore,” Shi Changsheng said weakly. “If you want to use the Longevity Sword, that’s fine. Use your own spiritual essence to activate it. The Longevity Sword has surpassed heaven grade. When used as an ordinary weapon, its power is unparalleled.”

With that, Shi Changsheng disappeared from Zhou Shu’s consciousness.

Even though Shi Changsheng had disappeared, Zhou Shu still cupped his hands in his consciousness.

This time, it was all thanks to Shi Changsheng.

If he hadn’t destroyed the foundation of the mountain range, even Zhou Shu wouldn’t have been able to make such a huge mountain collapse.

Causing a landslide had bought them at least another two hours!

Zhou Shu glanced at the heavily injured soldiers of the Ten Nations Alliance. After taking the Breakthrough Pill, they had gradually recovered.

The overall situation of the Ten Nations Alliance was actually better than before, and their speed also increased by more than 10%.

But when they left the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space, there had been more than ninety thousand of them. Now, there were less than half of them.

No matter how strong a person was, there was still a limit to what they could do.

… Unless one’s strength could really reach the point where they could kill a million troops with one strike.

Zhou Shu sighed in his heart. The losses of the Ten Nations Alliance had exceeded his expectations. This place was still quite a distance from Yao Lian’s secret lair. He wondered how many of them would be left when they finally made it there.

Besides, he didn’t know if the secret lair would give them a chance to breathe.

They had yet to encounter another Demon Realm army, but their situation was already extremely dangerous. If other Demon Realm armies came over after hearing the news…

Zhou Shu sighed. He had long thought that coming to the Demon Realm would be difficult, but the actual situation was still more difficult than he had thought.

“How far is that place you mentioned, Your Highness?” Meng Bai came to Zhou Shu’s side and walked beside him.

Zhou Shu estimated, “At the rate we’re going, we should reach the place in about seven or eight days.”

“Seven or eight days?” Meng Bai smiled bitterly. It hadn’t even been a day since they left the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space, but more than half of their army had already been lost.

Seven or eight days was such a long time.

“Your Highness, let’s divide our forces,” Meng Bai said with a sunken voice. “We’ll split up and distract the pursuers. Maybe some of us can get to the place you mentioned, Your Highness.”

The Demon Realm army refused to let them off, and they couldn’t completely shake off the pursuers. To last for another seven to eight days was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!

Only by sacrificing a portion of their people could they exchange for a portion of their lives. Otherwise, the Ten Nations Alliance would sooner or later be caught up by their pursuers and slaughtered.

“We can’t divide our forces.” Zhou Shu shook his head and refused. There were not many members of the Ten Nations Alliance to begin with. If they split up, there would be too many casualties. How useful would the Ten Nations Alliance be then?

They would have to deal with more than just getting rid of their pursuers.

“Let’s take a chance, Great General.”

Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes and looked ahead.
