Chapter 504: Battle of Qingyu
When the Demon Clan discovered the ambush in their rear, more than ten third-tier Demonic Beasts had already been killed in the attack. Moreover, their assailants were elusive, making it impossible for them to defend effectively.
The dozens of Golden Core Cultivators in their rear were even more formidable than the cultivators on Yunxia Mountain because the battles on Yunxia Mountain were fought openly, with both sides engaging directly.
However, these Golden Core Cultivators in the rear did not engage in direct confrontation with them at all.
Upon receiving the news of the recent attack on a third-tier Demonic Beast, they immediately gathered dozens of third-tier Demonic Beasts and rushed to the scene.
Upon arriving at the scene, they found that the attackers had already taken away the Demonic Beast's corpse, leaving no trace behind.
Just then, in another direction, a lone third-tier Demonic Beast was ambushed and killed by a human Golden Core Cultivator.
After this incident, the third-tier Demonic Beasts of the Demon Clan could only travel in groups and were no longer willing to go alone.
Three more days passed without any lone third-tier Demonic Beasts being attacked.
However, these despicable human Golden Core Cultivators had shifted their focus to the lower-tier Demonic Beasts.
Whenever they found an opportunity, they would charge into the midst of the lower-tier Demonic Beasts from behind, cutting down one or two-tier Demonic Beasts in large numbers before leaving swiftly.
Due to the limited areas they could guard against ambushes, the attackers often found opportunities to strike.
During these few days, the number of lower-tier Demonic Beasts led by them had decreased by ten percent.
Originally, they had come to attack Yunxia Mountain with great momentum, but now they found themselves under attack from all sides.
This situation made the Demonic Beasts feel extremely frustrated. Fortunately, one day later, Qingyu Patriarch successfully resolved the Golden Crow Fire and returned to the battlefield.
The Golden Crow Fire could incinerate all things and was extremely overbearing. In order to deal with this fire, Qingyu Patriarch had paid a considerable price, aggravating the injuries that had not fully healed.
When it returned to the battlefield once again, it saw that several days had passed, yet there had been no progress in the attack on this side. It immediately urged all the Demonic Beasts to launch a full-scale attack on Yunxia Mountain.
The Human Clan cultivators on this side were unaware of Qingyu Patriarch's return. Seeing the Demonic Beasts launching a full-scale attack on Yunxia Mountain, the Golden Core Cultivators hiding in the rear saw an opportunity and decided to use their old tactics.
At this moment, the horde focused all their strength on launching a sustained and fierce attack on Yunxia Mountain.
A five-person team quietly emerged from a thicket of bushes. However, as they were about to attack the Demon Clan from behind, a middle-aged being suddenly appeared in front of them, with a fluffy tail behind it, smiling at them.
"Hehe! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
The five individuals froze in their tracks, breaking out in a cold sweat. It turned out that the Demon Clan had set up an ambush long ago, and a fourth-tier Patriarch was waiting for them here.
Seeing this, the leader of the cultivators clenched their teeth and roared, "Attack!"
Following their command, the five individuals simultaneously summoned their Flying Swords and launched an attack. At this point, with fourth-tier Demonic Beasts in front of them, escaping was hopeless, and they decided to fight to the death.
Just as the five Flying Swords flew into the air, a shadow of a claw appeared in the sky, reaching out and firmly grasping all five Flying Swords.
