Chapter 211 Demonic Army Defeated_2

In the sky above, the heart of the Demon Lord Alba was in a panic.

Once the Nine-headed Greater Demons faced defeat, the scales of victory would tilt toward humanity.

"Hmph, you dare to be distracted while fighting me?"

Suddenly, Qiandaoliu seized the opportunity, the shadow of the Seraph with six wings on his back flapped fiercely, turning him into a golden streak of light that rushed towards Alba, with the Holy Sword condensed from the Divine Power in his hand thrusting out fiercely.

This sword, he was determined to pierce through Alba's chest.

Alba, too, had considerable combat experience, and he reacted in the nick of time. It was too late to block or attack Qiandaoliu with the Purple Gold Greatsword, so he turned it around, using it like a shield in front of his chest.

However, as Qiandaoliu neared the greatsword, he veered sharply, shooting up at a 90-degree angle, aiming his attack at Alba's head.

"Despicable humans, so cunning."

Alba was infuriated.

Previously, he was able to keep Qiandaoliu at a safe distance with the uncanny properties of the Purple Gold Greatsword, but because he was momentarily startled, he allowed Qiandaoliu to get close.

And he had to admit, in terms of speed, he truly was inferior to Qiandaoliu.

But anger aside, he still couldn't ignore the attack of another fighter of the same rank and had to evade.

But the next moment, he still felt a burning pain on his forehead.

Qiandaoliu had indeed wounded him.

"Ah, you actually hurt me, unforgivable!"

Alba, furious beyond measure, released thousands of flames from the fiery wings on his back, which turned into purple-black fire meteors, shooting straight at Qiandaoliu.

What was bizarre was that these were homing attacks, as if they wouldn't stop until they caught up to Qiandaoliu.

Angelic Domain!

Qiandaoliu simply stopped evading and his body burst into a myriad of golden lights.

Boom boom boom.

One by one, the purple-black fire meteors were detonated within the domain.

"You really think I'm afraid of you?"

A murderous look flashed in Alba's eyes, and his body burst into purple-black flames, as he charged into the domain with the Purple Gold Greatsword in hand.

For a moment, no one could see their figures anymore.

Shortly afterward, the golden domain vanished.

The figures of Qiandaoliu and Alba reappeared before everyone once again.

Only now, Qiandaoliu no longer had the shadow of the Seraph behind him, and he was stained with blood.

Taking a look at Alba, he was not much better off, one of his fiery wings had been chopped off, the horns on his forehead had been broken, and his left arm had been severed without using energy to heal.

The situation was clear, both sides had suffered losses without a decisive victory.

Yet, for Alba, not having succeeded in killing this human in a bloody battle was a failure.

Simply put, the demon army in Spirit City had already been routed.

"It seems I knew too little about this world. It's better to leave here and plan for the long term."

A twinge of heartache flashed through Alba's eyes.

If he had known humans in this world were so strong, he would never have come to Spirit City so rashly. Wouldn't it have been better to swallow up some smaller cities first?

Unfortunately, he had no place to go to buy regret medicine.

"The Demon Lord is trying to escape, stop him quickly. If he gets away, who knows what calamities he'll bring upon Soul Land!"

Qiandaoliu, with his keen senses, detected Alba's intentions and urgently warned everyone.

Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo threw a punch that pushed back the Greater Demon in front of him and was about to strike at Alba.

Sword Douluo could not care less about the favorable situation, abandoning the severely wounded, even powerless to recover Greater Demon, planning to attack Alba from another direction.

"Roar!"

Alba let out an angry roar, conveying his thoughts to the demons: at all costs, to block these detestable humans and create an opportunity for himself.

And upon receiving the order, the Nine-headed Greater Demons quickly gathered together, forming a straight line in front of the Demon Lord Alba, protecting him behind them.

Even more bizarrely, each Greater Demon's tail was entwined around another Greater Demon's waist, forming a bond that connected them.

```

"Think you can protect him?"

Sword Douluo snorted coldly as the Seven Kill Sword had already been swung, slashing a terrifying blade aura viciously onto the body of a Greater Demon.

Normally, this strike would have left a scar on any Greater Demon that tried to withstand it head-on, but this was not normal, for the Greater Demon unexpectedly blocked Sword Douluo's attack without a single injury.

Even to say, Sword Douluo hadn't been able to penetrate his defense.

"How is this possible?"

At this, astonished expressions appeared on both Sword Douluo and the many powerful beings of Spirit City.

"Let me try."

Golden Crocodile Douluo, refusing to be convinced, fiercely swung out his massive crocodile tail.

Boom!

With a loud sound, Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression changed drastically. A rebound force shook him back several steps, but the Greater Demon remained completely unmoved.

"How have they become so much stronger?"

He stared wide-eyed, disbelieving.

The combined strength of the demons now gave him the impression that he was facing a Great Priest.

In fact, they didn't know that this was the Greater Demons' combo ability, which could absorb the power of other Greater Demons and forcibly defend using the rapidly transformed energy as if it was second nature.

"Hehehe, why don't you all have a good play with these humans?"

At this moment, Alba felt that some of its strength had recovered. It chose to heal its severed wings and then, flapping its wings, escaped the area with the speed of the wind.

"Damn it!"

Qiandaoliu clenched his teeth and shouted angrily, "Chase!"

"Yes!"

Azure Phoenix Douluo and Light Feather Douluo immediately responded, but before they could act, the Nine-headed Great Demon had already reacted first. Beneath them, a vast array of purple-black glyphs coalesced into a large serpentine body, making them look like a nine-headed snake, the nine heads of the snake being those of the Greater Demons.

And with the appearance of this tail, they were given the ability to move flexibly, actually moving through the air.

With a slight touch of the tail in the void, they had already placed themselves before Azure Phoenix Douluo and Light Feather Douluo. Two of the Greater Demons made their move, forcing both Azure Phoenix Douluo and Light Feather Douluo to retreat by over a hundred meters.

It was hard to imagine the terrifying power they now possessed.

Qin Xiao struggled to remember for a moment before recalling the weakness of these Greater Demons' combo attacks, "Their power is interlinked among the nine, and they can instantly gather it within a single demon, which makes it seem as if their strength has increased.

Don't probe them one by one, you must attack together, all nine of you. Then they won't be able to withstand it. Or you can directly cut off their tail to prevent them from connecting and break their offensive."

At this moment, Qin Xiao's voice echoed across the skies of Spirit City.

He remembered that in the Spirit Three realm, the demons had used this method of fighting.

Hearing this, Sword Douluo, Bi Bidong, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and a dozen other Titled Douluos from Martial Soul Hall's eyes shone with realization as they began to take action.

Meanwhile, Qiandaoliu covertly transmitted a message to Qin Xiao.

"Qin Xiao, make your move. You're the only one here who can catch up to Alba. No matter what, you can't let him escape, and upon success, Martial Soul Hall will be sure to reward you heavily."

"Hehe, Great Priest, you flatter me. Whether you thank me or not isn't important. I'm simply someone who enjoys helping others," Qin Xiao responded with a chuckle, and the next moment, he disappeared from his spot as if teleporting.

In fact, even if Qiandaoliu hadn't said anything, he would have taken action regardless. After all, Qin Xiao didn't believe that Alba came with good intentions without someone pulling the strings from behind.

At any rate, he had to find the person behind this all.

"This kid, can I really believe what he says?" Qiandaoliu muttered to himself after hearing Qin Xiao's words.

He felt that this Qin Xiao was very crafty, not the type to throw the bird until the rabbit is sighted. If he hadn't promised him some benefit, he wouldn't have lifted a finger.

....

Elsewhere.

Three hundred li away from Spirit City, Alba looked back and seeing no one pursuing him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Looks like no one's coming, right? I should go down and catch my breath."

Mumbling to himself, he slowly descended into the dense forest below.

However.

Before he could fully relax, his heart rose up again.

He saw, not far away, a youth in purple leaning against a large tree, staring right at him.
