Chapter 235 Joint Resistance Against the Demon
The Heavenly Demon hovered above Qiang City, his crimson gaze sweeping over the fiercely fighting Ba-Shu allied forces below. A sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth. He knew all too well that the Emei, Qingcheng, and Shushan sects were the main force against the demon. As long as he could hold them off, Qiang City would be his for the taking.

"Pass down the order." The Heavenly Demon's voice, carrying demonic power, pierced through the sounds of battle and reached the ears of the thirty-two Demon Lords: "You will divide your forces into three groups and make sure to entangle the disciples of Emei and Qingcheng. Under no circumstances should they be allowed to reinforce Qiangcheng! In addition, send the Crimson Flame Demon Lord to lead the demon army to attack the Golden Summit of Emei immediately and destroy the Haotian Mirror. Without this treasure that guards the sect, Emei will be nothing to fear!"

The demon lords echoed in unison, transforming into shadows and flying off in different directions. The Heavenly Demon, leading his most elite demon army, headed straight for the southern mountains of Qiang City, the only route for the Shu Mountain Sect's reinforcements. He was certain that Xu Changqing, the leader of the Shu Mountain Sect, would personally lead the reinforcements; if he could stop this strongest Shu Mountain expert, Qiang City's last hope would be utterly extinguished.

Sure enough, less than half an incense stick's time later, the sound of swords cutting through the air came from the direction of Nanshan. Xu Changqing, dressed in the robes of the Shushan Sect Leader and wielding the Seven Star Sword, led hundreds of Shushan disciples on foot. Their bodies shimmered with golden light, and the runes on their swords gleamed in the sunlight, like a white light piercing through the dark clouds above Qiang City.

"Xu Changqing, long time no see." The Heavenly Demon hovered in mid-air, his demonic energy surging like ink: "Today, if you dare to step across this Nanshan Mountain, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Xu Changqing stopped, twirling the Seven Star Sword in his hand, its golden light intensifying: "Heavenly Demon, you slaughtered the people of Bashu and destroyed my homeland! Today, my Shushan Sect will surely rid the world of this scourge!" He had already made his plans. The Heavenly Demon was the core of the demon army; as long as he was restrained, the other demon groups would be leaderless. As for those who intercepted the demon soldiers, the Shushan disciples would handle them.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and killing intent erupted instantly.

"Kill!" The Heavenly Demon struck first, conjuring a massive demonic sphere in his palm and hurling it towards the Shu Mountain disciples. Xu Changqing remained calm, forming hand seals: "Shu Mountain Sword Formation, activate!"

Hundreds of Shu Mountain disciples quickly formed a battle formation, their immortal swords simultaneously gleaming with golden light, creating a massive sword shield that blocked the attack of the demonic orb.

"Is that all you've got?" The Heavenly Demon sneered, his figure flashing as he transformed into several black shadows, attacking Xu Changqing. Xu Changqing, wielding the Seven Star Sword, weaved through the shadows, each swing of the blade unleashing a golden light that shattered the shadows.

"Seven Star Sword Technique Breaks the Heavens!" Xu Changqing shouted, and the Seven Star Sword transformed into a shooting star, piercing towards the Heavenly Demon's true form.

The Heavenly Demon instantly teleported and roared, "You're courting death!" Then, his demonic energy surged, and thirty demonic thorns erupted from the ground, attacking Xu Changqing.

Upon seeing this, the disciples of Mount Shu rushed forward on their swords, using their immortal swords to block the demonic spikes.

"Sect Leader, we're here to help you!" a disciple shouted. Xu Changqing waved his hand, "You go and hold off the demon group, leave the Heavenly Demon to me!" He knew that only by personally restraining the Heavenly Demon could he buy time for the other reinforcements.

The disciples of Mount Shu obeyed the order, turning around and charging towards the demonic forces brought by the Heavenly Demon. Immortal swords clashed with demonic weapons, golden light intertwined with demonic energy, and Mount Nan instantly transformed into a brutal battlefield.

While the Shushan Sect was battling the Heavenly Demon, reinforcements from all sides arrived at Qiang City.

To the north, soldiers from the Tianfu Kingdom, wielding spears, charged towards the Go people's camp. They had already circled behind the Go people, taking advantage of their focus on the siege to launch a sudden attack. "Burn their camp!" the general commanded. The soldiers lit torches and threw them at the Go people's tents. Instantly, raging flames engulfed the Go people's marching camp. Upon seeing this, the Go people were thrown into chaos and had to divide their forces to return to defend the city, thus weakening their attack on the Qiang city.

Outside the west gate, tribal cavalry from the Ruoer Grassland rode swiftly on their horses, wielding scimitars, charging like a whirlwind. Having grown up on the grasslands, their horsemanship was superb; with each swing of their scimitars, the heads of the Go people fell to the ground. "Block them! Don't let the demon soldiers get near the city gate!" the tribal chief roared, leading his cavalry to form a defensive line, firmly blocking the demon soldiers attempting to break through the west gate. Hooves trampled over the corpses of the demon soldiers, splashing up clouds of blood; the ferocity of the grassland cavalry instilled fear in the demon soldiers.

In the direction of the Valley of the Underworld, soldiers of the ancient Shu Kingdom, clad in rattan armor and wielding jewel-encrusted halberds, were weaving among the demonic troops. Familiar with the terrain of the ancient battlefield, they used the narrowness of the canyon to divide the demonic troops into small groups and annihilate them one by one.

"Use the rattan armor formation!" the ancient Shu general ordered. The soldiers quickly moved in formation, and the runes on the rattan armor lit up, forming a blue light shield that blocked all the attacks from the demon soldiers. Then, long spears were thrust out simultaneously, and the demon soldiers fell to the ground one after another. The defense line of Yellow Spring Valley became even more solid with the addition of the ancient Shu soldiers.

Inside Qiang City, the cultivators of the Jialing Spirit Sect finally broke through the demon soldiers' blockade and reunited with their leader, Rimai. Wielding spirit staffs that could manipulate water elements, one cultivator waved his staff, and several jets of water instantly gushed from the wells within Qiang City, drenching the demon soldiers. The water jets, imbued with spiritual power, not only extinguished the demonic fire but also froze the demon soldiers' bodies.

“Chief Rimai, we are here to help you!” said the leader of the Jialing Spirit Sect.

The leader of the Japanese army was overjoyed and immediately ordered, "Follow me and charge back to the north city! Recapture the city gate!"

Behind Qiang City, soldiers from Jin Guan City, carrying relief supplies, joined up with the villagers of Huanglongxi Village. The villagers, disregarding the danger, pushed wooden carts filled with dry rations and herbs, delivering the supplies to the soldiers at the front.

"Quick! Pass the medicine to the brothers over there!" shouted the old village chief, Yang Daiwu.

Yang Yaya helped bandage the wounded soldiers' wounds. With the support of supplies, the morale of the frontline soldiers soared, and their previously exhausted bodies were restored with renewed strength.

The battle situation in Qiang City gradually reversed due to the arrival of reinforcements from all sides. The Heavenly Demon was engaged in a fierce battle with Xu Changqing in Nanshan, but was unable to break through the Shushan Sect's blockade; the Crimson Flame Demon Lord, who was attacking the Golden Summit of Emei, was also held back by the Emei disciples; the Ge people and demon soldiers lost their commander and were attacked from both sides by reinforcements, and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Xu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the reinforcements arriving from afar. The Seven Star Sword in his hand shone with golden light once more as he thrust it toward the Heavenly Demon: "Heavenly Demon, you will never be able to pass through the Shu Mountain Sect!"

……

Looking down, at the very back of the battlefield, the Iron-Eating Beast was charging forward, its four claws flying, its fur covered in mud but it didn't care. It nimbly avoided the limbs of demon soldiers and scattered weapons, dodging the splattered demon blood, and raced towards the Valley of the Underworld. Hearing the roars of the demon soldiers, it didn't turn back, only clutching the bamboo collar around its neck, its round eyes filled with urgency. It had to find its mother, Shen Anzhi, quickly…
