The Seventh Crown Prince Congyun marshals his forces against a formidable Bone Demon Legion, finding the battle challenging. He orders Jii Hua to retrieve a Blood Banner, but Jii Hua hesitates. Jii Dai volunteers instead, belittling Jii Hua as a coward, and leads his troops into battle, while Jii Hua and his contingent remain behind, observing.

"Jii Hua, you coward, watch carefully, learn how a true warrior fights!"

"Attack!"

Laughing loudly, Jii Dai and another Dao Realm member of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, Jii Jiian, led their six thousand elite Three-eyed Demon Clan members to charge at Ye Zhen’s Demon Soul Army.

Among these six thousand elite Three-eyed Demons, there were six hundred at the Realm King Realm, and the rest were all at the Dark Palace Realm.

The ratio of Dark Palace Realm to Realm King Realm reached an astonishing ten to one.

This configuration ratio is extremely rare, even on the Human Demon Battlefield.

So, even though they were facing a Demon Soul Army of nearly twenty thousand with a formidable aura, Jii Dai was not afraid at all.

His forces were the elite of the elite. Not only here but even on the Human Demon Battlefield, they could walk sideways in battles between small legions.

After all, the individual combat power of the Three-eyed Demon Clan was incredibly strong.

From afar, Ye Zhen, who was floating in the sky, also showed a surprised smile.

Because Ye Zhen also saw his old friend Jii Hua.

Meeting Jii Hua here was truly unexpected.

But when Ye Zhen saw that Jii Hua and his main forces didn’t attack with the Three-eyed Demon army, but stayed in the rear, Ye Zhen laughed even more heartily.

"Haha, our old friend is so sensible, we must save him some face!"

Amidst laughter, Ye Zhen issued a military order, "Hei Qi, Hei Jiu, no need to hide your aura anymore. Use your full power to annihilate the Three-eyed Demon Clan Army quickly!"

Almost in the same instant, the aura of the entire Demon Soul Legion exploded. The aura of seven thousand Realm King Realm demon souls surged skyward like a monstrous wave, sweeping towards Jii Dai’s Three-eyed Demon Clan army.

The overwhelming battle intent and killing intent directly paled the face of Jii Dai, who was leading the charge.

Seven thousand at the Realm King Realm.

On the battlefield, there is no absolute comparison of strength. There are countless examples of the weak defeating the strong.

However, the examples of directly defeating or annihilating the opponent with overwhelming power and crushing advantage are inexhaustible, like the sands of the Ganges.

And the seven thousand Realm King Realm demon souls of the Demon Soul Legion before them had a crushing advantage over their six thousand Three-eyed Demon Clan army.

To put it bluntly, it’s like seven thousand adults attacking five hundred adults leading fifty-five hundred children. The outcome was basically decided the moment the battle began.

At the rear, Jii Hua, who was watching with a self-deprecating smile as if to say he didn’t care about losing face, suddenly grinned.

You pretentious fool, now you’ve hit a steel plate.

Seven thousand Realm King Realm demon souls.

Even though Jii Hua had grossly overestimated what he knew of Ye Zhen’s strength, he didn’t expect the military power Ye Zhen casually displayed would already give him a major fright.

The thousand elite of Jii Hua’s family who had earlier looked ashamed, now had their expressions of shame quickly replaced by relief.

If their commander Jii Hua had led them into the charge just now, they would have been on the front line.

In that case, it would be uncertain how many could have survived.

For a moment, the elites behind Jii Hua looked at him with a different expression.

But, the movements on Ye Zhen’s side were just beginning.

Almost at the moment when the seven thousand Realm King Realm demon souls fully unleashed their aura, the War Soul Blood Flag above Ye Zhen’s Mystical Mechanism Avatar erupted with boundless blood light.

Within the range of the blood light, the aura and battle intent of each demon soul in the army began to surge.

In an instant, the aura and battle intent of Ye Zhen’s Demon Soul Legion of less than eighteen thousand warriors began to soar crazily.

Instantly, Jii Dai’s face turned even paler.

Originally, they had little chance against seven thousand Realm King Realm demon souls and over ten thousand Dark Palace Realm demon souls. Now, as the battle intent surged, their chances were close to zero.

Inexplicably, Jii Dai glanced back at the smiling Jii Hua, feeling tricked.

But no matter what, this pit was one he jumped into voluntarily.

If he retreated before engaging, Jii Dai would be finished.

Fortunately, the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, who was battling the Bone Demon Lord Bai Fan, also noticed the situation and had an immediate plan.

"Jii Hua, immediately lead your army to strike from the left to support Jii Dai!"

"Yii Tuo, lead your Heavenly Wings Army in a lightning strike from above on the Demon Soul Legion!"

"Yue Yan, lead your Moon Demon Clan elite to flank this Demon Soul Legion and support Jii Dai!"

The team of the Moon Demon Clan vying for inheritance was another group recruited by the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun. However, the Moon Demon bloodline is stronger, and offspring are difficult to reproduce.

So, the main elite brought by the Moon Demon Lineage only numbered three thousand.

But among these three thousand, five hundred were at the Realm King Realm, and the other two thousand five hundred were all late-stage Dark Palace Realm elites, with combat power that could be considered strong.

The Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor’s command of the Moon Demon elite had always been reserved for handling unexpected situations and delivering a fatal blow to the enemy at crucial moments.

But the powerful combat prowess displayed by the Demon Soul Legion forced him to deploy the Moon Demon Army ahead of time.

The Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, is one of the heirs meticulously cultivated by the Demon Clan, and besides the innate arrogance and pride in his bloodline, the Seventh Crown Prince at his age, has gone through over ten thousand actual battles of various sizes, not to mention knowing military strategies.

He has even been the commander in chief of an army, indicating that the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, has incredibly strong military command capabilities.

It is safe to say that the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor’s reaction strategy was very correct.

With Jii Hua’s thousand troops supporting from the flank, Yii Tuo’s Heavenly Wings Army launching lightning strikes from the air on Ye Zhen’s Demon Soul Legion, and the Moon Demon Army flanking for an assault, they could halve the pressure on the Three-eyed Demon Soul Army in an instant.

And leave Ye Zhen’s Demon Soul Legion under attack from all sides.

Unfortunately, for a strategy to work, it must be implemented.

On battlefields, there are always disobediences, not to mention these demon clans who are just a temporary alliance at this moment.

Jii Hua had already disobeyed the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun’s command once before, and now he didn’t dare to openly defy him, but.....

"Yes, sir!"

Jii Hua loudly accepted the order, waved his hand, and his thousand family elites plunged to the left side of Jii Dai’s army.

Yes, to the left rear of Jii Dai’s army, which could be seen as joining the offensive sequence, fulfilling the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun’s military order.

However, from a high altitude view, Jii Hua’s thousand troops looked like a tail, trailing on the left rear of Jii Dai’s army.

Essentially, Jii Dai’s army was given a long tail, offering no military advantage.

By the time Ye Zhen’s Demon Soul Army reached this tail, Jii Dai’s Three-eyed Demon Soul Army would likely have already been wiped out.

This scene nearly made the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, fume with anger.

If it were on the battlefield, just with this, he could have executed Jii Hua by military law.

But this isn’t the real battlefield.

However, what made the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun of the Demon Emperor so frustrated he almost spit blood was Yi Tuo leading the Heavenly Wings Army.

The moment his order was given, Yi Tuo’s Heavenly Wings Army made a swift rush, charging directly to the left rear of the Bone Demon Legion, instantly doubling the distance from Ye Zhen’s Demon Soul Army.

Moreover, because of the Bone Demon Legion in between, the Heavenly Wings Army certainly couldn’t breakthrough immediately to the Demon Soul Army above.

At this moment, Yi Tuo finally responded slowly with a complicated look, "Seventh Prince, I’m afraid we can’t launch a timely surprise attack on the Demon Soul Army. We need...some time!"

Need some time...

Seventh Crown Prince Congyun was at a loss for words.

On the battlefield, opportunities diminish in a flash; by the time this span is over, the situation might already be entirely overturned.

Seventh Prince Congyun was utterly frustrated; he never imagined that out of the three military orders he issued, only one would be executed, and the other two would both have issues.

In fact, until now, Seventh Prince Congyun still didn’t know why his orders were not smoothly executed.

In this world, the hardest thing to control is the human heart!

Jii Hua knew about the War Soul Blood Flag and this abnormal guy Ye Zhen.

As for Yi Tuo, he was afraid.

Afraid of Ye Zhen possessing the bane divine skill geomagnetic field of their Heavenly Wings Army.

Each of their private soldiers is invaluable, and those before already pained him to heartache; now, he wouldn’t want to send them to die at Ye Zhen’s hands.

Even though Ye Zhen had transfigured into the appearance of a Demon Clan member at this moment, he was too familiar with the imposing Demon Soul Army and that Blood Flag.

Therefore, the instant Yi Tuo received the order, he led the Heavenly Wings Army to the rear of the Bone Demon Legion.

Anyway, with the battlefield situation changing in a flash, after dragging a bit, maybe the situation would be different.

Because of Jii Hua deliberately twisting the orders and Yi Tuo’s delay, Seventh Prince Congyun’s strategy wasn’t carried out; the consequences were extremely serious.

A three-thousand-strong detachment of the Moon Demon Army was led by Hei Jiu to intercept.

However, Jii Dai’s Three-eyed Demon Clan army suffered a calamity.

Like the screeching of a ghost, a howl suddenly burst from Ye Zhen’s Mystical Mechanism Avatar’s mouth, almost tangible shockwaves rushing toward the just advancing Three-eyed Demon Clan.

In an instant, all the Three-eyed Demon Clan, including Jii Dai, experienced a violent primordial spirit shock, still due to Jii Dai’s Dao Realm.

The Three-eyed Demon Clan in the Realm King Realm and Dark Palace Realm, however, were even more unbearable.

Under the Nightmare Impact attack of the Soul Demon, they were all dizzy and bloated, the Spiritual Armor shattered, and the originally menacing army immediately lost its momentum.

And at this time, Ye Zhen’s Demon Soul Army attacked like a rainstorm pouring down.

The screams from the Three-eyed Demon Clan Army immediately echoed out.

Jii Dai and Jii Jiian’s expressions instantly changed dramatically, and struggling to endure the discomfort from the primordial spirit shock, they intended to break into the Demon Soul Army.

With their Dao Realm strength, breaking into the Demon Soul Army could instantly change the unfavorable situation.

This was also their only chance for victory.

However, at this instant, a sharp killing intent simultaneously locked onto Jii Dai and Jii Jiian.

That was the killing intent of Ye Zhen and Wang Baimu.

Jii Dai and Jii Jiian understood they had lost the chance to break into the Demon Soul Army and turn the tide.

The only chance now was to kill these two guys and then find a way to reverse the situation.

The next instant, Jii Dai and Jii Jiian roared, soaring into the sky, and a thin light as thick as an arm shot from their third blood eyes towards Ye Zhen and Wang Baimu like crossbow bolts.

The thunderous cracking wind sound of Wind Flash and Sweep resounded, as Ye Zhen and Wang Baimu crossed past each other, dodging the two beams of blood light and respectively advancing towards them.

This blood light was the unique life-bound innate divine power of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, incredibly powerful, and equally sinister.

If hit even a little, the flesh and skin would be pulverized, and the blood light carried countless negative slaughter auras that could impact an enemy’s divine soul.

In large-scale combat, the blood light unleashed by highly cultivated Three-eyed Demon Clan members exerted overwhelming superiority.

This was also one of the reasons for the Three-eyed Demon Clan’s esteemed status among the Demon Clan.

However, the blood light in Jii Dai and Jii Jiian’s eyes aiming to strike an elusive pair like Ye Zhen and Wang Baimu was too difficult.

In an instant, due to the Soul-locking Technique, their minds almost telepathic, Ye Zhen and Wang Baimu took the opportunity to switch opponents, directly launching a surprise attack to their opponents’ sides.

Wang Baimu’s side was straightforward; his strength was just average among Dao Realm experts and only served as restraint.

But for Ye Zhen’s side, he attacked with a killing move right away.

The Three-eyed Demon Clan Demon Lord Jii Jiian, regarded as Ye Zhen’s opponent, was destined for bad luck.

At the moment of close proximity, Ye Zhen suddenly shouted, "Explode!"

The moment the word ’explode’ was uttered, under the stimulation of Big Ears at the rear, a sound wave appeared out of thin air, exploding within the ear canal of the Three-eyed Demon Clan Demon Lord Jii Jiian.

Directly bursting the flesh and blood of Jii Jiian’s ear canal, and rupturing one of his eardrums entirely.

Losing hearing in one ear was merely minor, but the blast and sharp pain in the ear canal made Demon Lord Jii Jiian involuntarily scream with agony, and for a moment, he lost concentration.

No matter who you are, having your eardrums ruptured would certainly throw you off focus.

Just as Jii Jiian let out the scream of agony, a purple-golden sword light flew from behind Ye Zhen’s head. The elegant purple-golden sword light gently rotated, and in the blink of an eye before Jii Jiian could react, his head soared into the sky, and blood arrows burst from his neck cavity, shooting ten zhang high.

A hand formed by spiritual power flew, directly grabbing Jii Jiian’s head, and before Jii Jiian’s primordial spirit could escape, Little Demon’s thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles pierced deeply into the unguarded Jii Jiian’s head in an instant.

The Devouring Divine Ability was activated in a flash.

Jii Jiian’s primordial spirit instantly collapsed, the Heaven and Earth Laws power diligently comprehended within it was swallowed by Little Demon in a boom.

Then channeling through Little Demon’s body, under Ye Zhen’s guidance, Little Demon invoked a part of Ye Zhen’s spiritual power control, directly crashing into the Sixth Stage Spatial Sealing Barrier inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

The thick Sixth Stage Spatial Sealing Barrier of the Mirage Dragon Pearl once again melted massively like ice and snow.

The Heaven and Earth Laws power comprehended by Jii Jiian did not include the Wood Element Heaven and Earth Rules; Little Demon couldn’t use it, so it could only be wastefully utilized.

Almost instantly, Jii Jiian’s powerful primordial spirit aura completely dissipated.

Dissipated without a trace.

The moment Jii Dai, who had just engaged with Wang Baimu, sensed Jii Jiian’s aura suddenly and completely disappear, he screamed in terror,

"Jii Jiian!"
