Sect Master’s Immortal Journey - Chapter 475: Suffering a defeat and fleeing

Upon receiving the message from Fei YuDaoist Master, Qi Nangui, a Daoist Master, immediately knew that things were going awry. They were finding it increasingly difficult to withstand the Dark Crow Demon General and its forces. They had no choice but to abandon everything and make a desperate attempt to break through.

As for the Qi Family cultivators who were currently engaged in a fierce battle with the demon beasts, they were simply left with no time to spare. Blood relations, lineage, and the future of their family were all insignificant compared to preserving their own lives. As long as the two Gold Core Daoist Masters were still alive, the Northern Desert Qi Family would not perish. However, without the two Gold Core Daoist Masters, the Qi Family would lose its value in the eyes of Qi Mingyun True Monarch and would lack the strength to survive, leading to its slow decline and extinction.

The two Gold Core Daoist Masters wanted to escape, but it was not an easy task. Facing the Third Rank middle-grade demon beast, Dark Crow Demon General, and the assistance of the Poison Sand Demon General, breaking free in the midst of battle was truly arduous. Even with the protective treasures bestowed by the Primordial Spirit True Monarch, it was still extremely challenging.

After a desperate struggle, Qi Nangui, the Daoist Master, ultimately failed to escape and was killed by Dark Crow Demon General on the spot. Qi Nanfei, another Daoist Master of the Qi Family, managed to escape with serious injuries.

With the downfall of the two Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Qi Family, the cultivator army of the Qi Family naturally collapsed without putting up a fight. The demoralized Qi Family cultivators disregarded formations and scattered in all directions to flee for their lives.

Without the protection of formations, the numerous Dark Crow demon clan, who held the numerical advantage, easily gained the upper hand. Dark Crow Demon General, injured by Qi Nangui’s last counterattack before his death, was also too proud to bother chasing a group of defeated soldiers. Although Poison Sand Demon General joined in the pursuit, it couldn’t fully display its combat power and was unable to capture all the escaping enemies.

The Qi Family cultivators scattered and fought desperately against the intercepting demon beasts. In the end, only a few lucky Qi Family cultivators managed to escape far from the battlefield.

The battle between the Qi Family cultivators and the demon beasts ended in a resounding victory for Dark Crow Demon General.

Having achieved this victory and slaughtered a large number of human cultivators, Dark Crow Demon General’s anger subsided slightly, and it regained some composure. At this moment, it had no knowledge that Lion Demon General was currently engaged in a battle with human cultivators.

Having sustained injuries and lacking confidence in annihilating the invading human cultivators completely, Dark Crow Demon General continued its advance, seemingly uninterested.

Having vented its frustrations, Dark Crow Demon General led its group of demon beasts back to its nest, the Crow’s Nest.

Meanwhile, the battles of Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect against the demon beasts had also reached their conclusions. Among the three Third Rank demon beasts that Taiyi Sect faced, the Crocodile Demon General was already the weakest and still wounded.

Luo Ye, a Daoist Master and an assassin from Hidden Shadow Sect, excelled in identifying the weaknesses and flaws of enemies, then seizing the opportunity to strike and kill with a single blow. Taking advantage of the Crocodile Demon General’s rough and straightforward fighting style, which paid no attention to various changes, Luo Ye first activated a precious Third Rank embodiment talisman, creating a nearly identical incarnation.

Seizing the chance while the embodiment was engaging the Crocodile Demon General, she turned into a shadow and infiltrated the shadows on the ground. Just as the Crocodile Demon General dispersed the embodiment, Luo Ye’s shadowy figure emerged from an inconspicuous shadow and leaped onto the head of the Crocodile Demon General.

With her Shadow Killing Sword transforming into a shadow, it silently and swiftly stabbed deep into the head of the Crocodile Demon General from above.Even as the dying Demon General struggled, delivering a fierce blow to Luo Ye, the Daoist Master, she stood her ground without flinching. She withstood the attack with all her might, ensuring that her sword remained unaffected and unleashed its full power.

The Shadow Killing Sword is a secret assassination weapon passed down in the Hidden Shadow Sect. Its destructive power is already astonishing, but when activated by Luo Ye using a secret technique, it becomes a deadly strike.

At the cost of her own injuries, Luo Ye, the Daoist Master, finally managed to kill the Demon General.

After a fierce battle with Meng Zhang, the Vulture Demon General, although the Vulture tribe under its command suffered significant losses and many demonic beasts were slain by Meng Zhang, it did not appear to be at a clear disadvantage and still had the capacity to observe the surrounding situation.

When the Demon General was killed by Luo Ye, it knew things had taken a turn for the worse. It and the Lion Demon General were both entangled by their respective opponents and were unable to provide timely assistance, resulting in the Demon General being slain on the spot.

If a Gold Core Daoist Master from the human side were to join the battle, the balance of victory would tilt in favor of the humans, and the outcome of the battle would be overturned.

The Vulture Demon General has always been clever and can be considered an intelligent demon. Initially, when the Lion Demon General was in a dominant position, it readily sided with the Lion Demon General. Now that the situation is unfavorable, it immediately had thoughts of retreat. It could both attack and defend freely in its battle with Meng Zhang.

It planned to find a suitable opportunity to lead its tribe in a gradual retreat from the battlefield. However, it was not in a hurry to act at the moment. After all, the Lion Demon General was still engaged in a fierce battle. If it were to escape directly, it would likely anger the Lion Demon General.

It intended to communicate with the Lion Demon General first. It believed that the Lion Demon General was not the kind of rigid individual who would fight to the death without considering alternatives. If the Lion Demon General proved to be inflexible, it would have to prioritize its own safety.

As long as its own strength remained intact and its tribe was still present, it would not be difficult to find a foothold in the Demon Wind Gobi.

After the Demon General was killed, the Vulture Demon General began to consider its retreat and became temporarily distracted. Meng Zhang keenly seized this subtle flaw.

Utilizing the power of the formation, Meng Zhang unleashed the tremendous destructive force of the Strange and Upright Sword Art. It seemed that he had exerted all his strength without holding back. However, in reality, he always kept a bit of reserve.

Especially in the previous battle, he gained some understanding of the Yin-Yang True Intent and benefited greatly from it. He immediately wanted to demonstrate the power of the Yin-Yang True Intent to this crude beast.

The Fierce Yang Sword radiated a dazzling light in the air, while the Shadow Killing Sword lurked in the shadows, concealing its killing intent.

After fighting with Meng Zhang for a while, the Vulture Demon General believed it had figured out the background of this Gold Core human. This Gold Core cultivator had a solid foundation and formidable strength. In particular, the sword technique he displayed, with two Third Rank flying swords, one bright and one dark, possessed considerable power. However, as long as precautions were taken in advance, it would not be difficult to withstand.

When the Vulture Demon General shifted its attention to the Strange and Upright Sword Art, especially guarding against the hidden Shadow Killing Sword, Meng Zhang unleashed his true killing move.

Breaking free from the cover of the formation, Meng Zhang suddenly charged into the massive Vulture tribe.

As a Gold Core Daoist Master, Meng Zhang’s speed was astonishing, and he possessed an irresistible momentum.

In the blink of an eye, Meng Zhang appeared in front of the Vulture Demon General, who was at the forefront of the Vulture tribe.

The Spiritsnake Spear silently appeared in his hand and ruthlessly stabbed the Vulture Demon General.

The Vulture Demon General only had time to slightly twist its massive body before being struck hard by the Spiritsnake Spear.
