Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

The White Ape Demon Saint swung his black iron rod with a fierce roar.

"Get them!"

"Raze Shule City to the ground! Leave no one alive!"

"roar!!!"

Eight thousand demon soldiers roared at the same time and charged toward Shule City. The earth trembled violently under their feet, and dust rose into the sky, blotting out the sun.

On the city wall, the protective array lit up, and Hu Cheng suddenly drew his waist knife and roared.

"Shoot arrows! Rolling stones! Logs!"

"Give it a good beating!"

A fierce battle erupted instantly.

"Boy! Prepare to die!"

The White Ape Demon Saint also moved.

His figure moved like lightning, cutting through the surging demon soldiers and rushing straight towards Li Yuan.

The black iron rod shone brightly, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, and exuded a suffocating pressure.

This time, it didn't hold back.

The power of a half-step demon saint was unleashed without reservation.

Li Yuan did not retreat at all. He circulated the power of the five elements within his body to the extreme, and the nameless blade shone with a dazzling five-colored light, soaring straight into the sky as he met the White Ape Demon Saint with a single strike.

"clang!!"

A deafening roar followed, and a visible shockwave rippled outwards from the center of the collision, sending several demon soldiers who couldn't dodge in time spitting blood and flying backwards.

An overwhelming force surged from the blade, causing Li Yuan's tiger's mouth to split open, blood flowing down the hilt. His feet plowed two deep furrows in the ground, and he slid backward for more than ten feet.

Such incredible power!

This white ape didn't use its full strength yesterday, as expected.

The White Ape Demon Saint, having landed a successful blow, did not pause for a moment. He followed up again, his staff shadows filling the sky as they rained down on Li Yuan.

Its moves are wide and sweeping, each strike containing enough power to split mountains and shatter rocks. It moves at an extremely fast speed, striking one after another without end, giving Li Yuan no chance to catch his breath.

Li Yuan dared not take the attack head-on, so he used his movement technique to dodge and weave, perfectly avoiding the White Ape Demon Saint's attack.

The White Ape Demon Saint was known for its speed, but now that it had encountered the monstrous Li Yuan, it was even faster than Li Yuan, transforming into streaks of light and weaving through the shadows of the staff.

Seeing that his attacks had not harmed Li Yuan in the slightest, the White Ape Demon Saint became even more resentful and let out a series of roars.

The two chased and fought each other on the battlefield, leaving a trail of wind and clouds in their wake. Some unfortunate demon soldiers were swept in and either died or were injured.

On the city wall, Hu Cheng calmly directed the battle, holding off three demon kings from the front. He occasionally glanced at the direction of the battle and was shocked to see Li Yuan seemingly being overwhelmed by the white ape.

"General Hu, please rest assured."

Wu Yu was in charge of operating the protective array. Compared to Li Yuan, a genius, his brilliance was completely overshadowed. In fact, he was also a rare seventh-level talent with extraordinary skills.

Seeing Hu Cheng looking over, he said with a grin, "My brother Li hasn't even gone all out yet. That white-haired monkey will be crying soon."

Hu Cheng glanced at him helplessly, unsure whether to call him carefree or heartless.

On the other side of the battlefield, Yuan Zheng, the head of the Demon Suppression Division, led a team of demon-hunting guards to hold off the giant bear demon king's attack.

With all four demon kings tied down, the battle was essentially even, entering a stalemate.

The White Ape Demon Saint grew increasingly anxious as he failed to break through Li Yuan's defenses. He had thought that with his strength, taking down Li Yuan would be a piece of cake, but he hadn't expected this young man to be so troublesome.

What annoyed it even more was that this kid, who was clearly completely overwhelmed and powerless to fight back, always fell just short, and refused to admit defeat in words.

"Old monkey, your staff is so weak, didn't you eat?"

"Is that all the strength you have? It seems you've not only lost your skill level, but also your courage, haha."

"Are you sure you're really a Demon Saint? I feel like you're not even as good as a Demon King."

This guy spewed venom from his mouth, every word piercing to the heart, enraging the White Ape Demon Saint, who grew increasingly irritable and his attacks became heavier and heavier.

"No wonder Mr. Mo said you're just a worthless, stinky monkey, tsk tsk!"

Li Yuan took a moment to shake his head at it with a sympathetic expression.

Mentioning Mo Wentian enraged the White Ape Demon Saint.

"Roar!"

It suddenly stopped, slammed the black iron rod into the ground, formed a hand seal, roared, and spat out a pitch-black stone seal, which caused the wind to swell.

A terrifying wave erupted from its body, the air began to distort, and black demonic energy soared into the sky, condensing above its head into a black demonic ape phantom several meters tall.

The phantom had blood-red eyes and bared fangs, emanating an immense, world-destroying pressure.

"The Demonic Ape Seal that Suppresses Mountains!"

The White Ape Demon Saint glared fiercely at Li Yuan, "Boy, you have reason to be proud that you could force me to use this magic weapon!"

It pushed forward with both hands.

"Awooo!"

The black demonic ape phantom let out a deafening roar, holding a huge seal in its palm, and slammed it down fiercely towards Li Yuan.

Before his hand even landed, the ground began to collapse. The earth beneath Li Yuan's feet could not withstand the terrifying pressure and began to crack and sink. An invisible aura locked onto him.

Li Yuan's expression finally changed.

It was actually the aura of a Celestial-level magic weapon.

Back in the Three Gorges, that masked man almost killed him by relying on a celestial-level magic weapon. Now, the magic weapon in the hands of the White Ape Demon Saint has an even more terrifying aura.

Li Yuan sensed a strong sense of crisis. He immediately made a decision, frantically pouring all the five elements of spiritual energy into the sword while simultaneously communicating with the power of the stars.

"The Five Elements revolve, the stars shatter!"

He slashed out with a single stroke.

Five-colored, swirling blades shot into the sky, interspersed with dazzling starlight, to meet the colossal black hand that blotted out the sky.

The blade's edge collided violently with the giant hand.

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar resounded, and violent energy spread outwards, sending all the demon soldiers within a radius of dozens of feet flying.

A huge crater with a diameter of more than ten feet appeared on the ground, and smoke and dust rose into the sky, obscuring everyone's view.

The smoke and dust cleared.

Li Yuan knelt on one knee, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. The nameless knife was stuck in the ground beside him, supporting his body.

His face was pale, and his hand holding the knife was trembling slightly.

The White Ape Demon Saint remained standing still, motionless.

It looked down at Li Yuan, a sinister smile appearing on its lips.

"Kid, you are indeed very strong."

"With your cultivation at the Qi Condensation Realm, you forced me to use my natal magic weapon; you already have reason to be proud, but..."

That's all for now.

It pulled out the black iron rod from the ground and walked towards Li Yuan step by step, the ground shaking with each step it took.

Li Yuan slowly stood up, drew his nameless sword, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the approaching White Ape Demon Saint. Suddenly, he smiled.

"You stupid monkey, is that all you've got?"

The White Ape Demon Saint paused slightly, a flash of anger crossing his eyes.

"Even when death is imminent, you still dare to be stubborn!"

"I'm telling the truth."

Li Yuan gripped the knife, showing no fear.

"Your celestial-grade magic weapon is indeed powerful. But how many times can you activate it?"

"Once? Twice?"

He gave a mocking laugh. "In your current state, each time you activate the Mountain-Suppressing Demonic Ape Seal, it consumes at least 30% of your demonic power. Once your demonic power is exhausted, what will you use to fight me?"

The White Ape Demon Saint's expression changed. Li Yuan was right. Although the Mountain-Suppressing Demon Ape Seal was extremely powerful, it also consumed a great deal of demonic energy.

In its current state, it can only be activated three times at most. After that, its demonic power will be depleted.

A ruthless glint flashed in the White Ape Demon Saint's eyes: "Three times is enough to kill you a hundred times over!"
