Global Evolution: I Transplanted the Supreme Divine Heart-Chapter 433 - 430: Rescue

Zhu Que quickly gathered the native oath warriors and came over.

The majority of these oath warriors followed the Vermilion Bird Oath, making up 70%. Those following the Cyan Dragon Oath comprised 20%. External reinforcements like Bai Pu following other oaths were few and far between.

Zhu Que scanned the group, sighed, and said, "Upon hearing that we’re going to the demon lair at Flame Mountain, many have grown fearful. The number of people gathered is at least ten fewer than I expected."

Bai Pu smiled and said, "Fewer people isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If our hearts aren’t united, no number of people will be of any benefit."

"That’s also true."

Zhu Que didn’t concern himself with the whereabouts of the Overlord, Crazy Zen, and the others, instead said, "Mr. Gangxin, the enemy has taken my daughter hostage for at least an hour. My suggestion is to dispatch those faster Daoist school disciples as the vanguard to intercept in front of the demons, while the slightly slower central core follows to support. What do you think?"

This is the effect of strength; Bai Pu at this moment had not yet garnered Zhu Que’s respect in actuality, but Zhu Que was consulting and negotiating because Bai Pu demonstrated even stronger combat power than him, making him the strongest support for rescuing his daughter, hence the politeness.

Bai Pu nodded in agreement; this was indeed a good strategy.

...

Flame Mountain appeared entirely dead black.

On the ground, occasional rifts would appear, spewing steaming hot mist.

Above the rifts, one could vaguely see the air currents twisting.

A group of demons was advancing on the black wasteland.

Leading the front was a robust demon covered in blue scales; its eyes bulged like the eerie pupil of a frog or fish.

This robust blue-scaled demon was one of the demon commanders under the Red Emperor: Ring Eye! He was wielding a large black ring saber.

At the rear of the group, the demon responsible for bringing up the rear was clad entirely in heavy armor, with six limb-like limbs, its humanoid upper body also covered in a natural shell, and its deformed giant arm bulging with veins, wielding a vicious and heavy black hammer.

This six-limbed demon was also a demon commander, named Ghost Crab.

In the middle of the demon group, two demons were carrying a tall, bound beauty, the coarse demon skin ropes cleverly looped over her shoulders and abdomen, accentuating her prominent balloon-like bosom.

The tall beauty was clad in red, her eyes almost spitting fire.

"I advise you to save your efforts, Flame Blade Princess. Resistance is futile."

Beside the tall beauty, the third demon commander, Shark Teeth, licked his sharp teeth, revealing a wicked smile, "Being chosen as the human form for the Red Emperor is an honor for you."

Compared to the low-level Spirit Realm with Heart Demon: Oath, the demon commanders of the mid-level Spirit Realm had richer emotions, and could even mimic human language for communication.

For instance, the demon commander Shark Teeth’s eyes were like drooling tongues, scanning over the Flame Blade Princess’s balloon-like bosom, lingering on her slender, firm waist, his desire evident.

If the Flame Blade Princess weren’t the "human form" for the Red Emperor, Shark Teeth would have pounced long ago, tearing through her red dress and indulging himself.

Of course, having rich emotions and being able to speak human language didn’t mean demons could coexist peacefully with humans.

In the emotional systems of demons, the only constant was a deep-seated hatred towards humans.

"Pah!"

The Flame Blade Princess coldly said, "If it weren’t for a traitor in Demon-Subduing City, do you think you could capture me?"

Just as Shark Teeth was about to retort, his expression changed slightly.

From the front, the Demon General’s Ring Eye boomed, "Illusion’s crimson connection has disappeared."

"I feel it too," the Demon General Ghost Crab chimed in from the back. "Could that guy have been killed by the humans?"

The Demon General Shark Teeth spoke, "Seems so. Illusion was rather useless."

"No helping it, she was the weakest among us. The only noteworthy thing was that Illusion couldn’t escape; most likely ’Heaven-Burning’ Zhu Que personally intervened."

"Illusion bought us an hour and a half, which isn’t too bad. There’s still half the distance to the Red Flame Hall. Even if Zhu Que brings people in pursuit, they can’t catch up."

The hope in the Flame Blade Princess’s eyes gradually dimmed.

She had been unconscious the whole time, and only just woke up.

Turns out, she had already been taken deep into Flame Mountain.

Even her father might not be able to save her now.

Could she manage to take her own life?

Even in death, she refused to become the Red Emperor’s vessel!

Dammit, if only she had heeded Blood Spider’s warning and been more vigilant, she wouldn’t have ended up like this...

Lost in thought, suddenly there was a whistling sound, followed by anguished demon cries, mixed with the angry shouts of Demon General Shark Teeth:

"Wolf demons, you four protect the Red Emperor’s human form! The rest of you, kill these foolish human martial artists for me!"

Flame Blade Princess Zhu Lingyan found herself "thud" thrown to the ground, with four demons forming a back-to-back formation, "protecting" her in the center.

She strained to look from the gaps between the legs of a leader-level wolf demon.

One by one, the martial artists of the Vermilion Bird Oath were fighting to the death.

Among them was her female friend, Blood Spider. She was crouched, firing crossbow arrows to support the oath warriors on the field.

"These are mostly the disciples skilled in speed from the Daoist school... It seems like the vanguard. Father must be on his way with others who are slightly slower to support!"

The Flame Blade Princess couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope, though accompanied by shame and guilt.

These speed-adept martial artists employed a strategy of skirmishing, constantly harassing the demons.

But in the face of formidable strength, such tricks held little meaning.

After all, the demons had three commanders, all strong at the Enhanced Leader Level.

The Demon General Ring Eye’s black saber slashed diagonally, producing a powerful suction force, as if all the surrounding air was being drawn away! In front of the blade, an oath warrior couldn’t struggle and was dragged forward, killed by a slash.

The Demon General Ghost Crab, moving like the wind with six limbs, wherever his hammer struck, there was a mess of flesh.

The Demon General Shark Teeth opened his mouth, spewing sawtooth qi force. It landed on a human martial artist, causing them to be bitten invisibly, with several blood fountains erupting from their body!

Thankfully, there were the crossbow arrows fired by Blood Spider.

Long-range attacks inherently had limited power, but Blood Spider could embed mystical arts into the arrows, directly sending the arrows into the target’s body, with the specially prepared bursting crossbow arrow exploding inside.

This effectively ignored most of the opponent’s defenses!
