Chapter 477
The three Gold Core Daoist Masters cooperated seamlessly, making it not easy for the Lion Demon General to escape. With the support of its tribe's strength, the Lion Demon General could barely hold on. However, if it separated from its tribe and faced the three Gold Core Daoist Masters alone, it would be no match at all. The Lion Demon General understood this, but it had no opportunity to retreat unscathed.
This situation made the Lion Demon General increasingly anxious. Meng Zhang and his companions were patient, gradually weakening the enemy's strength without showing any signs of rushing.
At this level of battle, victory or defeat could not be determined in a short time. They were mentally prepared for a protracted battle, willing to spend ten days, half a month, or even three to five months to thoroughly deal with the Lion Demon General.
The battle continued, and the Lion Demon General felt the situation becoming more unfavorable. On the ground, the cultivator army of the Taiyi Sect was engaged in a fierce battle with the demonic beast army, and both sides were equally locked in a stalemate. However, the Taiyi Sect boasted an array of elites. Not to mention the Guardian Spirit Generals like the Deep Earth Spirit General and Shocking Thunder Spirit General, even the younger generation, such as Yang Xueyi and Wen Qiansun, displayed strong combat abilities. With these elites as the backbone, the Taiyi Sect's cultivator army suffered controllable casualties while dealing significant damage to the demonic beast army.
Of course, both the Lion Demon General and the three Gold Core Daoist Masters besieging it were not concerned about other aspects. The battle between the two sides had entered a critical stage.
The Lion Demon General's current realm was the result of undergoing numerous trials. It grasped the situation and finally decided that even if it had to pay some price, it must leave here first.
The Lion Demon General was very decisive in its actions, and once it made up its mind, it immediately executed the decision. It seized an opportunity to confront Gu Yue Huaidie directly, took the initiative to leave its tribe, and flew alone into the sky, preparing to escape immediately.
Meng Zhang, while using the Strange and Upright Sword Art to slay the demonic beast tribe, immediately seized the opportunity. Instead of summoning the flying sword, he directly used the Divine Ability Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword. A fierce sword aura mixed with black and white colors flashed like lightning towards the Lion Demon General.
The Lion Demon General knew it couldn't get entangled with Meng Zhang for too long; otherwise, it would lose the chance to escape. It didn't dodge and directly took the blow.
The sharp sword aura broke through its strong defensive demonic energy and struck its left arm.
The Lion Demon General groaned and endured the intense pain as it prepared to continue its escape.
The power of this strike far exceeded its expectations, leaving it with significant injuries. The sharp sword aura continued to wreak havoc in its wound, but it had no time to deal with it and was solely focused on escaping for its life.
Luo Ye, an excellent assassin, was more skilled at finding opportunities and seizing the enemy's vulnerabilities to disrupt their plans than Meng Zhang. While Meng Zhang used the Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword, she threw a black veil at the Lion Demon General.
The black veil turned into a dark shadow in mid-air and gently fell on the Lion Demon General.
The Lion Demon General didn't feel too threatened, and to avoid missing the chance to escape, it decided to take this blow head-on.
After the shadow fell on the Lion Demon General, it didn't cause any direct harm. This made it relax a bit while feeling somewhat puzzled.
As the Lion Demon General was flying high in the air, preparing to flee far away, it felt that something was amiss. After flying some distance towards its lair, the Grand Lion Ridge, it realized the situation was not right.
The seemingly harmless black veil, after falling on it, would produce a strange force that obstructed its demonic energy from functioning at high speed. This significantly affected its flight speed, rendering it unable to fly properly.
Knowing that the situation was not right, the Lion Demon General tried to dispel the shadow. However, no matter what methods it used, the shadow clung to it like a malignant tumor, leaving it helpless. Before coming to the Endless Sea of Sand, Luo Ye, a Daoist Master, had made many preparations for killing the Golden Tiger Demon General. The previous successful ambush against the Golden Tiger Demon General went relatively smoothly, and she had many prepared methods that were unused. Now, she made use of these techniques on the Lion Demon General.
Due to the influence of the strange shadow, the Lion Demon General couldn't escape at full speed. Gu Yue Huaidie, Meng Zhang, and Luo Ye, all Gold Core Daoist Masters, didn't engage with other demonic beasts and directly pursued the Lion Demon General. With its insufficient speed, the Lion Demon General was easily caught up by Meng Zhang's group. After another intense battle, due to the loss of its tribe's support, the Lion Demon General's combat strength significantly weakened, and it couldn't withstand the combined attacks of the three human Gold Core Daoist Masters. With more and more wounds, the Lion Demon General had no choice but to retreat towards its lair, the Grand Lion Ridge.
Meng Zhang's group chased relentlessly, attacking continuously, preventing the Lion Demon General from retreating peacefully. After flying for several hundred miles, they were getting closer to the Grand Lion Ridge.
However, the Lion Demon General was now too weak to continue fleeing. Its injuries were severe, and it could barely hold on. The three cunning human Gold Core Daoist Masters employed various sinister means to harm it. At this point, the accumulated injuries finally erupted. Forced into a desperate situation, the Lion Demon General made up its mind to self-destruct its demon core and take the enemies down with it. However, a Third Rank demonic beast's self-destruction process was far more complex than that of a human Gold Core Daoist Master. It required considerable time to prepare in advance. The three experienced Gold Core Daoist Masters would never give it that opportunity. They closely monitored the Lion Demon General and repeatedly interrupted its plans, thoroughly ruining its intentions.
In the end, the Lion Demon General died in battle without getting the chance to self-destruct its demon core, closing its eyes in resentment.
With the Lion Demon General dealt with, although the three Daoist Masters had expended a lot of energy and suffered injuries, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely at ease.
With the Lion Demon General's death, the outcome of this battle was no longer in doubt, and Meng Zhang had finally removed a serious threat. After a short rest, Gu Yue Huaidie collected the Lion Demon General's corpse, and the three of them returned to the previous battlefield.
While Meng Zhang and the others pursued the Lion Demon General, his senior disciple Niu Dawei had already collected the corpse of the Golden Crocodile Demon General and wiped out the vulture tribe under the control of the Bald Vulture Demon General.
When Meng Zhang's group returned, Niu Dawei was directing his disciples to join other battle groups and mercilessly slaughter the demonic beasts. Despite their current condition, the three Gold Core Daoist Masters quickly gained overwhelming superiority in the battle, completely wiping out the large number of demonic beasts and causing the remaining ones to flee in panic.
Next, it was time for the cultivators of the Taiyi Sect and their allies to chase down the scattered fleeing demonic beasts.
