Sect Master’s Immortal Journey - Chapter 476
Spiritsnake Spear is the top-tier spiritual weapon passed down by the Taiyi Sect’s ancestors, with countless glorious achievements, having slain numerous enemies. Its fearsome power even makes its owner, Meng Zhang, not dare to underestimate it.
One Yin and one Yang do not just refer to the two Third Rank flying swords controlled by the Strange and Upright Sword Art. The Fierce Yang Sword is Yang, and the Shadow Killing Sword is Yin. The Strange and Upright Sword Art can also be Yang, while the Spiritsnake Spear is Yin. luring enemies on the Yang side and launching deadly attacks on the Yin side, the interplay of Yin and Yang complement each other, making it difficult for people to defend against.
Meng Zhang has only recently grasped the true meaning of Yin and Yang, allowing him to quickly put it into practice and apply it effectively.
Just now, the Demon General of the Vulture tribe twisted its body but didn’t completely avoid the vital attack. A fierce aura emanated from the Spiritsnake Spear, spreading wildly along the deep wound and wreaking havoc inside its body.
For a demonic beast to advance to the Third Rank is more difficult than a human cultivator forming the core. The Vulture Demon General’s evolution to the Third Rank is the result of numerous trials and ordeals, having endured all kinds of hardships. Its tolerance for pain surpasses that of many Gold Core Daoist Masters.
However, the tremendous pain coming from the wound is something it has never experienced before, causing it to let out a miserable scream. The fierce aura raging inside its body relentlessly destroys everything within, mercilessly erasing its vitality.
The instinct peculiar to a wild beast tells the Vulture Demon General that if it continues to stay here, it will truly die. It is acutely aware of the severity of its injuries and the dire state of its body.
At this moment, it doesn’t care about the Lion Demon General, let alone its own Vulture tribe. Nothing matters more than its own life.
As an avian demon, the Vulture Demon General is naturally swift. When facing a life-threatening crisis, it activates its life-saving natal demon technique. Its entire massive body transforms into a stream of light, darting away like lightning.
After severely injuring the Vulture Demon General, Meng Zhang can’t catch up and can only watch it escape. He feels a bit regretful as the Spiritsnake Spear hasn’t been fully repaired and can only exert a fraction of its power. Otherwise, the Vulture Demon General wouldn’t have had a chance to flee after being hit.
Escape is escape. The great battle is not over, and he must focus on the current situation.
The Vulture Demon General’s escape leaves its massive demonic beast tribe behind. The Fierce Yang Sword and the Shadow Killing Sword come from two different directions, easily turning the Vulture tribe into a mess, leaving a ground full of corpses.
Without the leadership of Third Rank demonic beasts, no matter how large the demonic beast tribe is, it can’t withstand the attacks of Gold Core Daoist Masters.
Meng Zhang has no time to slaughter these Vultures who can hardly resist. After defeating the enemy’s troops, he leaves these Vultures to his disciples to handle and flies towards the battlefield of the Lion Demon General and Gu Yue Huaidie.
After killing the Savage Crocodile Demon General, Luo Ye, a Daoist Master, takes a moment to stabilize her injuries and then flies towards the Lion Demon General.
At this moment, the Lion Demon General is leading his tribe, engaged in a fierce battle with Gu Yue Huaidie. Having their own tribe’s support can greatly enhance the combat power of demonic beasts, but in certain situations, their own tribe can also become a burden.
Initially, in order to trap Fei Shi, the Daoist Master of the Flying Swan Sect, the Lion Demon General and his Third Rank demonic beasts traveled lightly and launched a thousand-mile surprise attack to catch the enemy off guard.
Unless under such special circumstances, Third Rank demonic beasts generally won’t easily leave their own tribe.
In recent years, the Lion Demon General has put in a lot of effort to finally cultivate such a tribe. It’s reluctant to let it go easily.
This is not due to emotional factors, but without the support of its tribe, its combat power would significantly decrease, making it even more difficult to face future battles. Despite having a considerable number of tribe members, their speed is not fast. Hindered by their tribe, it is simply impossible for the Lion Demon General to escape the pursuit of the Gold Core Daoist Masters. Facing this dilemma, the Lion Demon General hesitated for a moment.
In just that moment, Meng Zhang and Luo Ye, a Daoist Master, flew in from two different directions and joined the battle directly.
The Spiritsnake Spear has not been fully repaired yet and should not be used for an extended period. Meng Zhang put away the Spiritsnake Spear and wielded the Shadow Killing Sword and Fierce Yang Sword, displaying the Strange and Upright Sword Art, attacking the Lion Demon General from the side. He did not directly target the Lion Demon General but focused on the tribe under its control. Taking advantage of the fact that the Lion Demon General was fully occupied with Gu Yue Huaidie and unable to take care of its own tribe, Meng Zhang showed his might and slaughtered the demonic beast tribe under its control.
Luo Ye, a Daoist Master, chose the same fighting method as Meng Zhang. She also did not rush to directly attack the Lion Demon General but first weakened the demonic beast tribe under its command. The tribe under the Lion Demon General consisted mainly of First Rank lion-type demonic beasts, among which were many Second Rank lion-type demonic beasts acting as leaders, commanding various squads.
The two Gold Core Daoist Masters made their moves, avoiding a direct confrontation with the Lion Demon General and targeting these low-level demonic beasts that were entangled by Gu Yue Huaidie. The Lion Demon General found it challenging to defend against their attacks.
Each time the Lion Demon General attempted to strike a heavy blow on Meng Zhang and Luo Ye, Gu Yue Huaidie promptly stopped it, leaving it without any success. With Gu Yue Huaidie’s agility and combat experience, the Lion Demon General found no opportunity to exploit.
As Meng Zhang and Luo Ye killed a large number of demonic beasts, the Lion Demon General’s massive tribe rapidly diminished in number, and the rate of reduction accelerated.
As the number of subordinates diminished, the power it received from them weakened. Gu Yue Huaidie, who was confronting the Lion Demon General head-on, became more and more adept at dealing with it.
At this point, the Lion Demon General finally realized that its painstakingly cultivated tribe was impossible to preserve. If it continued to entangle with its opponents, it feared it wouldn’t be able to escape.
The Lion Demon General was not a stubborn and brainless fighter who would fight to the death no matter what. Seeing the unfavorable situation, it naturally had to change its strategy in a timely manner. Since it was escaping, it had to abandon the tribe it had cultivated for many years.
The thought of escape was not hidden from its three opponents. Meng Zhang and his companions were all experienced in battle and astute individuals; how could they fail to discern the Lion Demon General’s intentions?
While the Vulture Demon General could be temporarily spared, the Lion Demon General absolutely could not be let go. The Taiyi Sect and the Flying Swan Sect launched this large-scale attack on the Demon Wind Gobi mainly to eradicate the Lion Demon General and completely eliminate the tremendous threat from the Demon Wind Gobi. They were willing to calculate even the Northern Desert Qi Family to make the Lion Demon General their primary target.
Without eliminating the Lion Demon General, Meng Zhang would not feel at ease, and the Taiyi Sect would not be able to enjoy the fruits of victory that were within reach. Gu Yue Huaidie and Luo Ye, who genuinely came to help, would naturally not leave such a huge potential danger for Meng Zhang.
Without needing to communicate in the midst of the battle, Meng Zhang and his companions had a tacit understanding and each demonstrated their skills to entangle the Lion Demon General and prevent it from escaping.
