Supreme Alchemist-Chapter 1682 - 1672: Reinforcements Arrive

If one looked closely, some of the attacks from the Demon Clan powerhouses that landed on the Beast Emperor were being devoured by him, directly transforming into his own energy.

This was a divine ability that the Beast Emperor had awakened from the Chaos Devouring Python’s bloodline, which was also the reason for his confidence in facing dozens of demons alone.

These dozens of strong ones from the Demon Clan were simply no match for the Beast Emperor; in his eyes, these demons were all going to become his energy supply.

Outside the Giant Sword City, with Lei Zhan and the Beast Emperor at the forefront, all the members of the Zhenyang Sect fought fiercely. However, with powerhouses like Lei Zhan and the Beast Emperor being tied down by the Demon Clan, the disciples of Zhenyang Sect faced double the pressure, and for a time, they were actually suppressed by the demons.

Time passed slowly, with the disciples of Zhenyang Sect suffering heavy casualties; the defensive lines they maintained were about to collapse.

The assaults from the Demon Clan were incredibly fierce, resembling a disregard for their own lives. The disciples of Zhenyang Sect were already at a disadvantage; it was remarkable they had held on until now.

Once the lines were breached, the demons would break through the defenses and enter Giant Sword City, which would not be able to withstand the onslaught any longer.

"The Jiu Xiao Dynasty has come to the aid of the Zhenyang Sect!"

Just then, a deep voice came from the distant sky, from behind which Jun Lingtian led the great army of the Jiu Xiao Dynasty, approaching the Giant Sword City.

This time, the Jiu Xiao Dynasty had mobilized its core strength, with Jun Lingtian bringing over fifty thousand warriors. Although there were not many Emperors, there were many from the Emperor Realm.

"The Jiu Xiao Dynasty is here, our reinforcements are here!"

"Great, the Jiu Xiao Dynasty has come just in time!"

"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, kill! We must defend the Giant Sword City!"

...

With the arrival of the reinforcements, everyone in the Zhenyang Sect was revived, fighting the enemy with renewed vigor.

Very quickly, Jun Lingtian and the great army of the Jiu Xiao Dynasty arrived outside the Giant Sword City—a formidable force of fifty thousand.

"All members of the Jiu Xiao Dynasty, heed my command, assist the Zhenyang Sect and slaughter the Demon Clan!"

Jun Lingtian gave a long cry and then was the first to rush into the battlefield.

"Kill!"

The warriors of the Jiu Xiao Dynasty also roared, joining the fray and engaging the demons in fierce battle.

With the addition of the Jiu Xiao Dynasty’s great army, the pressure on the disciples of the Zhenyang Sect greatly diminished.

The entry of fifty thousand martial artists meant that, in terms of numbers, the Zhenyang Sect was no longer at such a disadvantage against the Demon Clan, and the sides were almost even now.

"Jiu Xiao Emperor, you’ve arrived just in time; otherwise, we would has been preparing to retreat to the Great City."

Hua Tianxiong, covered in blood, walked up to Jun Lingtian and looked at him gratefully.

"The Jiu Xiao Dynasty and the Zhenyang Sect are allies. When the Zhenyang Sect is in trouble, the Jiu Xiao Dynasty will naturally offer its full support, not to mention that facing the calamities is not only a matter for the Zhenyang Sect."

Jun Lingtian spoke.

He understood very well that the current status of the Jiu Xiao Dynasty compared to the Zhenyang Sect was like that of the ground to the sky; at most, the Jiu Xiao Dynasty could be considered an affiliate of the Zhenyang Sect, but the Zhenyang Sect truly treated the Jiu Xiao Dynasty as an ally.

Moreover, Long Yan had shown great kindness to the Jiu Xiao Dynasty. Just for these two reasons, the Jiu Xiao Dynasty would also do its utmost.

"Now is not the time for reminiscence, let’s repel the Demon Clan first!"

Hua Tianxiong said.

"Right!"

Immediately, the two of them once more plunged into the midst of the battlefield.

"Sheji Map!"

Jun Lingtian leaped into the sky, flipping his hand to reveal an ancient scroll which he swiftly waved, transforming it into a mysterious light that spread throughout the battlefield, manifesting a world that pulled in countless members of the Demon Clan.

"River Mountain Pen!"

At the same time, a River Mountain Pen appeared in Jun Lingtian’s hand; with a sweeping stroke, the pen scribed dragons and snakes, and within the Sheji Map, numerous attack methods were derived, sweeping toward the Demon Clan.

With his current cultivation base, Jun Lingtian was even more adept at wielding the River Mountain National Map, an artifact.

.........

Zhenyang Sect.

"Master, the situation is as follows."

Li Yuanba relayed the current state of the Southern Wasteland Continent without omission to Long Yan, as well as the situation across the entire imperial area.

"The Demon Clan is truly not simple, actually wanting to swallow the entire imperial area in one bite. They have quite the appetite," Long Yan muttered softly.

He too had discerned the intentions of the Demon Clan, but for them to achieve their goal was absolutely impossible.

"Yuanba, Giant Sword City is the core city of Zhenyang Sect and must not be lost. With my and Lei Zhan’s strength, we can only hold off for a while. Once the Demon Clan deploys their true powerhouses, we will definitely not be able to resist. Take ten thousand elite disciples with you and go with Red Lotus Saint to situate yourselves in Giant Sword City. I’ll handle the rest," Long Yan instructed Li Yuanba.

The elite disciples all possessed Emperor Realm cultivation, and with the strength of the Temple of Beasts, the Thunder Clan, and the Jiu Xiao Dynasty, it should not be difficult to defend Giant Sword City. If the Demon Clan deployed its powerhouses, with the Red Lotus Saint present, it shouldn’t be an issue.

Moreover, with the Seven Absolutes Puppets on Li Yuanba, he was effectively accompanied by two experts who had survived Three Divine Tribulations.

"Master, the Demon Clan besieging Giant Sword City is only a small part; their real target is the Ancient City of Taihuang. Are you confident?" Li Yuanba asked.

The Demon Clan’s army attacking Giant Sword City numbered just over a hundred thousand, a mere fraction of their force on the Southern Wasteland Continent. Zhenyang Sect had a grasp on the Demon Clan’s movements; tens of thousands from the Clan were attacking from another direction, aiming for the Ancient City of Taihuang.

The Ancient City of Taihuang was as important to Zhenyang Sect as Giant Sword City, but even more crucial. Should the Demon Clan breach the city, they could drive straight through to Nine Suns City, and Zhenyang Sect would have no great city left to defend.

"Don’t worry, your master has plans of his own," Long Yan assured.

Even if he could not hold off the Demon Clan’s army on his own, he still controlled a power he was willing to use as a last resort.

"Alright, I will prepare at once!" Li Yuanba immediately excused himself.

"That damned dog should have finished his retreat by now; it’s time for him to contribute," Long Yan muttered, and without delay, he headed for the Back Mountain, approaching the entrance to a valley. He broke The Prohibition that sealed the valley and entered.

"Kid, do you realize how dangerous what you’re doing is?" As soon as Long Yan entered the valley, a voice he was very familiar with, and which carried a hint of anger, echoed out from within.

No sooner had the voice faded than a figure appeared before Long Yan.

"Are you Black Dragon?" Upon seeing the figure before him, Long Yan’s eyes widened in surprise.

He was certain this person was Black Dragon, but the appearance was unexpected.

Now, Black Dragon was no longer a black dog but had transformed into a human form, that of a child barely 1.2 meters tall with a well-proportioned body and a round, chubby face with large eyes, which, in fact, looked quite adorable.
