HPDBC Chapter 2377 - 2376: Phase Victory
Chapter 2377 - 2376: Phase Victory
Demon Lord Lei Ang’s eyes turned red as he fiercely tore down a bolt of lightning towards the Chaos Beast.
The electric glow stretched thousands of feet, striking the Chaos Beast’s body with a thundering crash.
The massive current made the Chaos Beast tremble, but its body had become immortal, extraordinarily resilient.
These lightning bolts were nothing to it; it dodged swiftly into the void.
Lei Ang wanted to get away from Long Fei’s grasp, gathering rolling thunder around his body to form a sea of lightning.
He intended to use this sea of lightning to drive Long Fei back.
But Long Fei, sharing the lightning sea with him, remained utterly unaffected.
Standing on Lei Ang’s back, he punched Lei Ang’s head furiously, each impact making the void tremble.
Yet Lei Ang’s body had become immortal, comparable to an Immortal.
Long Fei’s fists were powerful, but Lei Ang managed to withstand several blows.
The Chaos Beast poked its head out from the void, shouting at Long Fei, "Master, stop playing around and finish him off!"
Long Fei was not playing; he merely wanted to test the resilience of the Demon Lord’s body.
If he relied solely on physical strength to confront the Demon Lord, it would take considerable effort.
Lei Ang screamed hoarsely, "If you kill me, the Demon Race will surely tear you limb from limb!"
Long Fei laughed derisively, "That’s not your concern!"
A longsword flashed in his hand, and he sliced down at Lei Ang’s head.
Sword Qi streaked across three thousand miles, cutting through the void like a comet descending.
With a crack, Lei Ang’s head separated from his neck.
The sea of lightning dispersed instantly, revealing Long Fei’s Demon King-like form.
He kicked Lei Ang’s head, sending it flying.
The Chaos Beast, prepared in advance, opened its mouth wide and swallowed Lei Ang’s head into its belly.
The Heavenly Dao sensed it, and a downpour of bloody rain fell across the universe, like a meteor shower streaking across the sky.
The experts on the ground in Southern Capital City witnessed the scene.
The Demon Race experts sensed it too.
The battlefield erupted into chaos, as the human race at the city walls unprecedentedly issued orders for a counterattack.
The giant battle armors that had been prepared in the city emerged outside.
Standing over a hundred meters tall, like giants, they bared their claws and teeth at the demon soldiers.
Various cannons and flying fleets opened fire densely all at once.
The city gates swung open, and the soldiers under various generals’ leadership charged out, launching an offensive against the demon soldiers.
The demon soldiers, who had held absolute advantage on the battlefield, were now dumbfounded by the human race’s assault.
They didn’t even hold their ground, retreating madly upon the Demon King’s command.
The black encirclement around Southern Capital City receded like waves retreating in all directions.
In the void, Long Fei used Taihua’s light to roast Lei Ang’s flesh, eating the magical body like a primitive man.
The Chaos Beast, having swallowed a head, had a belly bulging round.
Despite being nearly full, it greedily approached Long Fei, asking for a thigh.
This Demon Lord flesh transcended the Immortal Realm and was incomparable to worldly things.
After eating this, the Chaos Beast felt as though the Demon King it previously consumed was like rotten meat, revolting.
Upon returning to the ground, the defense battle for Southern Capital City was already over.
For the first time, the Human Race had repelled the Demon Army’s siege, and on the battlefield, they had remarkably launched a counterattack against the Demon Race.
The army rescued the wounded in the city and rested for three days.
Ji Wanrong hosted a grand victory celebration at the martial arts field in the city, emotionally speaking from the high platform to the citizens and the army, "Citizens, as you have witnessed, we have won the defense battle for Southern Capital City. This is our Human Race’s first complete victory, but I believe this is merely the beginning. We will launch counterattacks against the Demon Race starting from Southern Capital City. We will reclaim Southern Ridge, North Yangtze, Jingzhou, and West Shu. We will take back our homeland, and we will achieve the final victory over the Demon Race!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"..."
The cries echoed across the square, spreading throughout Southern Capital City.
In the Imperial Palace of Southern Capital City, Long Fei met with Liuu Jiangnan, Wang Xun, Guo Cunyi, Guo Xiang, Ji Xiaolian, Fang Qian, and the Five Tiger Generals and others.
Guo Cunyi’s sister Guo Xiang was now Liuu Jiangnan’s wife.
This brother of Long Fei, now a former disciple, had entirely abandoned thoughts of cultivation to immortality.
Their Liuu Family’s business had spread across the Great Xia Country before the Demon Calamity.
It could be said they were the wealthiest family in the Great Xia Country.
Everyone sat around a table laden with Peach Wine, Spirit Fruit, and Celestial Venerate Flesh from Long Fei’s Storage Ring.
Immortal Flesh, Long Fei had it too.
But the distinction between mortals and immortals was vast. Mortals couldn’t eat immortal flesh; even a drop of an Immortal’s blood could explode a mortal to smithereens.
Everyone stood up, first toasting Long Fei with a cup, thanking him for relieving the siege of Southern Capital City and saving their lives.
Wang Xun excitedly said, "Brother Long’s return gives us all peace of mind. During the years you were away, the Demon Race bullied us miserably."
Everyone had been holding a stomach full of anger, now finally able to vent it freely.
In mid-level and lower-level forces, the Human Race was actually on par with the Demon Race.
Only the top-level forces were lacking, allowing frequent victories for the Demon Race.
Long Fei told everyone, "The Demon Calamity is not just the Great Xia Country’s issue, nor the Nine Domains’, but a problem throughout the Three Realms. The Great Catastrophe of the Three Realms has descended; no one can escape it. To defeat the Demon Race, we must unite the forces of the Nine Domains, and even the anti-demon forces of the Three Realms to achieve final victory. This path is challenging, and everyone still needs to keep working hard."
Everyone nodded solemnly, lifting their glasses to drink another round with Long Fei.
After three rounds of drinks, Wang Xun eagerly inquired about his brother Wang Jie’s whereabouts.
Liuu Jiangnan also asked anxiously, "Master, how come Elder Brother Chu didn’t come this time?"
Long Fei candidly told them, "They went to the Immortal Realm, and cannot be seen for the time being."
"Immortal Realm?"
Everyone was astounded, eyes wide, asking, "Does such a place truly exist?"
Long Fei nodded, recounting the events of the Three Realms Pass to them.
Everyone was shocked, lamenting, "Ancient Heavenly Court, such a wonderful place, has it really fallen apart?"
"If the Ancient Heavenly Court were here, the Demon Race couldn’t be so arrogant!"
"Speaking of which, if only we could establish a force uniting the Three Realms!"
Liuu Jiangnan’s mind worked fast.
Long Fei, sipping his wine, had harbored such thoughts long ago but lacked the strength for it now.
With the Great Xia Country’s Demon Race unattained, how could he rebuild the Heavenly Court?
As everyone was drinking, Ji Wanyu hurriedly came over, shouting at the group, "Quick, quick, my sister is about to give birth!"
Ji Wanrong had inspected the troops at the square, addressed the citizens, and returned only for her stomach to start acting up, reaching the moment of childbirth.
