Chapter 281: Chapter 271: Hong Yuan Battles the Three Heroes, None Can Withstand·Part One

In the mortal world, weapons clashed, and blood flowed like rivers, while the heavens inherently possessed benevolent virtues.

Who dared to charge and break through when even demons’ courage shattered and their hearts trembled in fear!

Lang Fanyun, this demon, was already wildly unrestrained, treating the Zero Desolate Army as nothing, charging and ramming arbitrarily, truly domineering and tyrannical.

However, the moment Hong Yuan appeared, he struck terror into Lang Fanyun’s heart, and his face underwent a drastic change.

Dead, I’ll definitely die!!!

Lang Fanyun trembled all over, not daring to think further, hurriedly abandoning Li Jianqiu to return to the safety of his own central forces.

Hong Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. "You go support the battle. Let me meet this wild wolf alone."

Having spoken, a blue light flashed in Hong Yuan’s hands as he tightly clutched the Flood Gathering War Banner.

With a stomp of his foot, he immediately strode forward with Dragon Tiger Stride, as if piercing through the void, reaching directly in front of Lang Fanyun and striking downwards without hesitation.

The howling wind surged as the Flood Gathering War Banner resembled an overwhelming sea, bearing down with heavy momentum.

"What kind of move is this!?"

Hairs standing on end, Lang Fanyun dodged to the side. In his panic, he ascended on a cloud, flipping the treasure vase in his hand and releasing a stream of Black Tribulation Evil.

This was a Tribulation Evil technique originally triggered by Li Jianqiu, but now Lang Fanyun had turned it back, launching a counterattack against Hong Yuan.

Hong Yuan paid it no mind, continuing to bring down the war banner.

In just one encounter, the Black Tribulation Evil dissipated, leaving no trace. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The momentum of the war banner remained unchanged, striking the back of Lang Fanyun’s Azure Grey Wolf, making him howl in pain.

"PUH!"

Lang Fanyun spat out a mouthful of vital blood, hastily withdrawing and darting into his central forces.

Hong Yuan prepared to press the attack, but Lang Fanyun’s central demon soldiers were also ready, launching successive thunderous columns of light, forcing Hong Yuan to sidestep and evade.

A sweeping glance revealed the dire state of his own forces.

Even with the aid of the Black Dragon Army, the battlefield was still dominated by Lang Fanyun’s Swallowing Wolf Army.

Not only that, Zhu Jiushi was leading his Overbearing Pig Army into the fray. Even Liu Hongde was speeding to the scene with his Mad Cow Army, worsening the situation even further.

For the Zero Desolate Army to attempt to confront over a hundred sea regions with merely a dozen or so is too much of a stretch. Hong Yuan sighed silently to himself. If not for my presence here, this situation would have surely been fatal.

Looking down at the battlefield stained dark red, listening to the endless sounds of slaughter, in that moment, Hong Yuan contemplated activating the ’See Me Causing Division’ Divine Power.

On the battlefield, a demon who controlled various Slave Tao Demon Skills could greatly influence the outcome of the battle. And ’See Me Causing Division’ was a rare Slave Tao Divine Power.

Although it was only a human-level Divine Power, soul enslavement knew no difference throughout history. In Hong Yuan’s hands, the power of this human-level Divine Power would definitely not be inferior to that of an earth-level Divine Power. Because Hong Yuan’s soul was a Ten Thousand Dragon Soul, magnified one hundred thousand times!

Let’s wait a bit longer. Once this Divine Power is used, it will alert the enemy, making it difficult to turn the tide of battle again. It must be reserved for a decisive moment.

Hong Yuan’s expression remained unchanged. He promptly tossed the Flood Gathering War Banner high into the sky, executing his technique.

Flood Gathering War Banner—Ninety-Nine Huangqu Array!

Hong Yuan activated the array patterns on the Flood Gathering War Banner.

Beneath the sea, beams of light, either snow-white or water-blue, crisscrossed, forming a large, three-dimensional Energy Array.

Blue and white light burst forth. In an instant, blue and white liquid surged, rapidly covering everything within and outside its reach.

Finally, these blue and white liquids struck at the black streams of light. Midway, the liquids congealed, forming various exotic Water Beasts like Mysterious Water Snakes and Ice Armor Pythons.

RUMBLE!

An enormous explosion resounded, and the entire seafloor area turned into a realm of black and blue-white hues.

And beneath these Water Beasts, numerous unusual dragon-kind revealed themselves.

The Ferocious Dragon was entirely black, dark water dripping from its mouth.

A Purple Mist Poison Dragon was shrouded in smoke and clouds, fierce light glinting in its eyes.

These Water Beast dragons were massive. A single turn of their bodies could cause rivers to overturn and seas to surge, truly displaying terrifying might.

With their involvement, the scales of battle quickly began to tip, and the defensive lines of the Gale Sea Area were re-established, barely maintaining the situation.

「Dragon God Sacred Land, Dragon Transformation Pool.」

Many Demon Saints gathered here to watch the battle.

When Hong Yuan activated the Ninety-Nine Huangqu Array of the Flood Gathering War Banner and changed the tide of battle with his own power, most of the Demon Saints present showed a keen interest.

"This Xuan Guangqiao is truly extraordinary. He first received the inheritance of the Great Moon Saint, and now he is so formidable. The saying about the ’Demon fated to face the calamity’ might not be mere rumor after all!" Thunder Eagle Demon Saint couldn’t help but whisper in admiration.

"Hehe, Thunder Eagle, aren’t you afraid that your beloved disciple, Zhu Jiushi, will be so demoralized by this Xuan Guangqiao that his Dao Heart will shatter?" Mad Bull Demon Saint raised an eyebrow; he was Liu Hongde’s ancestor.

"How infuriating! This young thief is so fierce, he truly infuriates me!!!" Swallowing Wolf Demon Saint’s wolfish eyes bulged with rage.

Swallowing Wolf Demon Saint wished he could join the fray himself, suppress his own level to match Hong Yuan’s, and teach Hong Yuan a lesson.

"Hmm!? Swallowing Wolf, this doesn’t seem like your character at all?" Cold Rain Great Saint’s eyes flashed with surprise and inquiry.

Swallowing Wolf Demon Saint laughed it off with a casual gesture, glossing over the matter.

Indeed, in terms of emotional fluctuations, Swallowing Wolf Demon Saint was far more intense. Consider that Cold Rain Demon Saint had wagered a Holy Artifact, yet his emotions remained stable, while Swallowing Wolf Demon Saint was so agitated.

Having deflected the question, Swallowing Wolf Demon Saint sneered inwardly with contempt:

Great Saint!? You, Cold Rain, are nothing but the beneficiary of the Great Moon Saint’s grace, blessed with a good background. To actually wager a Holy Artifact, truly like selling one’s ancestral lands without a second thought—such a reckless and arrogant bet. But you would never guess that the Great Moon Saint concealed his inheritance in the Green Dragon Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm!

Suddenly, Swallowing Wolf Demon Saint’s gaze sharpened as he quietly observed the battle below in the Gale Sea Area.

Lang Fanyun, Zhu Jiushi, and Liu Hongde, the three Tao Species, were actually joining forces to combat Hong Yuan!

"You whelp, your opponents are us!" the Sword Shark Dragon roared fiercely.

Transforming into a sword shark, he unleashed boundless Sword Light, pressing an attack towards Li Jianqiu.

The other Sea Area Monarchs tacitly coordinated, attacking together to prevent Li Jianqiu from reinforcing Hong Yuan and interfering with the battle above.

Sigh... Li Jianqiu thought, sighing softly.

Facing these seniors, she had no choice but to halt her swift advance and turn to deal with this group.

Her oiled-paper umbrella spun gently, and white ripples expanded in concentric circles like gentle waves.

The Demon Skills unleashed by Sword Shark Dragon and the other Sea Area Monarchs were either interrupted mid-cast or veered off course. In short, they posed no effective threat to Li Jianqiu.

One must not judge Li Jianqiu by how badly Hong Yuan had beaten her. That was due to Hong Yuan’s unique attributes: firstly, he possessed greater martial might than her, and secondly, he possessed a Luck Tao Divine Power.

Against ordinary opponents, Li Jianqiu’s Luck Tao was a profound and inscrutable Great Taoism!

Soldier against soldier, general against general.

The Zero Desolate Army fell back into a defensive position, struggling to hold on.

Meanwhile, Hong Yuan calmly countered the offensive of the three rival Tao Species while roughly tallying how many of the one hundred and eight sea regions had yet to arrive.

Within him, the black ’See Me Causing Division’ Divine Skill Talisman pulsed with a faint, eager glow, yearning for the moment it would be unleashed.

"You little snake! Don’t be impudent! Take a blow from this old man’s cauldron!"

Zhu Jiushi bellowed, raising the Nine Peaks Big Tripod high and furiously smashing it down, seemingly with the force to devour mountains and rivers.

The other two demons decisively unleashed their Divine Powers as a follow-up attack.
