A rare opportunity

Chapter 771: Not as Good as Monsters

Seeing the terrifying power of the Sun's True Fire, the dozen or so people immediately turned and fled. Unexpectedly, the human army, fearing Li Yu like a tiger, had already retreated far away, leaving a large gap around them. This, in turn, led them to be surrounded by Hou Rujing and his men!

The dozen or so people were terrified and shouted for help, hoping that Duan Kaishan would send someone to rescue them.

Duan Kaishan had indeed ordered the monks to launch a siege on Li Yu and his group, but no one dared to approach due to the power of Li Yu's Sun True Fire! Of course, they didn't want to give up either. They looked around, hoping that someone would step forward so that they could follow behind.

As the saying goes, all people share the same heart and mind. With everyone holding this thought, naturally no one wanted to be the first to step out! As a result, they watched helplessly as more than a dozen cultivators tragically perished at the hands of those angry monsters!

Li Yu had already fed the weakened vulture some healing elixir and placed it in his space ring. He then turned to look at the surrounding cultivators. His eyes were cold and his face grim.

As they looked around, the monks were frightened and took a step back involuntarily! It was obvious that they were all frightened by Li Yu's Sun True Fire!

Duan Kaishan was extremely anxious when he saw this! He already had a psychological shadow on Li Yu. Now that he had revealed the Sun True Fire, he was even more afraid to face Li Yu directly! But he was unwilling to give up such a massive attack halfway! So he shouted:

"Everyone, attack! Quickly unite to surround and kill Li Yu! Anyone who bravely strives to be the first will be rewarded handsomely by our Xianxia Sect! Anyone who hesitates will have their family and sect disciples forever barred from joining our Xianxia Sect!"

Upon hearing this, the monks hesitated for a moment before rushing towards Li Yu and the others like crazy! No one wanted to miss the opportunity, and no one wanted to be blacklisted by the Xianxia Sect!

However, everyone's common concern was to avoid a direct confrontation with Li Yu. Consequently, a strange phenomenon occurred. While it was described as a siege, in reality, everyone rushed to attack Li Yu from behind. As a result, Li Yu's back was so crowded and crammed together that he couldn't freely attack. Meanwhile, his true front was completely empty, with very few people around! Even those few unlucky souls were squeezed out by others.

He was terrified! As soon as he was squeezed out, he fled without hesitation! Blacklist it! He wouldn't die if he didn't join the Xianxia Sect, but if he hesitated for a moment, he would die!

The monks kept pushing their way behind Li Yu, but they seemed to have forgotten one thing: Li Yu could turn around at any time!

Seeing that there was no one in front of him, but behind him was shouting and killing, Li Yu immediately turned around and rushed towards the crowd!

Before Li Yu could charge, the monks quickly changed direction and circled behind him again! This repeated several times, and Li Yu couldn't help but frown! What should he do? He avoided me like a snake and scorpion, avoiding fighting. But like a fly, he couldn't get rid of it!

He tried to surprise them several times, but each time they were spotted and quickly moved away. It seemed that even though they were fighting, they were mostly focused on themselves.

Although the human cultivators suffered some damage due to the fierce fighting of Hou Rujing, Xiao Qinglong, Da Baitu and others, this small loss was completely negligible for the entire human army.

Practitioners aren't made of iron; they need a break. However, if they continued fighting like this, even if they weren't injured, they would be worn down! Li Yu sensed that his opponent had changed their offensive strategy. Instead of attacking all at once, they were dividing their forces and engaging Hou Rujing and the others in a rotating battle! Clearly, they had a master who was determined to wear them down!

Seeing that his Nascent Soul cultivators were already showing signs of fatigue, and even a few demon kings had died on the spot! Li Yu couldn't help but make up his mind! Since this is the case, then there is no need to worry about so many things!

Immediately shouted:

"Brothers! Come closer to me!"

Li Yu's strength had already vanquished those monsters. Upon hearing Li Yu's command, they, like the Blue Jade Star cultivators, immediately moved closer to him. This significantly reduced Li Yu's defensive area! Consequently, the enemy couldn't gain an absolute advantage in numbers in a localized attack. After all, their attack area was significantly reduced. That small area couldn't hold so many people!

Although the other side did not have an absolute advantage in numbers, the advantage still existed! It just relieved the pressure on Hou Rujing and others a little!

In reality, Li Yu hadn't anticipated losing his opponent's absolute numerical advantage. His goal was to shrink his defenses, forcing his own cultivators to gather around him to avoid accidental damage from the Sun's True Fire. This way, he wouldn't even need to turn around; he could unleash his Sun's True Fire with impunity!

Originally, he didn't want to use it lightly, and only wanted to confront the other party head-on, but seeing that the other party was trying to drag him down, he immediately made a painful decision and decided not to show mercy to the other party!

When he felt that his own troops had retreated to his side, Li Yu did not hesitate to summon his own Sun True Fire and threw it at the enemy's crowd!

The sudden change caught the other side off guard! In an instant, dozens of people were caught by sparks of the Sun's True Fire! The sparks caught them and burned more and more fiercely! Dozens of people howled and fell to the ground.

At the moment when dozens of people were on fire, Li Yu turned around and shouted to the monks:

"Come at me!"

He immediately led all the monks and rushed towards the stunned crowd!

Seeing Li Yu leading the monks charging towards them like a tiger descending from a mountain, the human monks finally reacted. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they turned and ran away!

However, running away wasn't so easy! After all, there were so many people gathered in one place, and the crowding would naturally slow down their escape.

Li Yu chased them while waving his hands. Sparks fell down, leaving those people with nowhere to hide. They fell to the ground with wailing sounds.

Hearing the howling behind them and looking at the crowded crowd before them, several Saint-level monks couldn't help but glare at the sight! Since they couldn't squeeze out, they had no choice but to fight their way out! They immediately swung their weapons and chopped at those who stood in their way!

As the saying goes, "seem, see." Since someone had already done it, and it seemed to be working well, all those Saint-level experts among the crowd immediately raised their butcher knives to those around them in order to quickly escape danger!

Instantly, the entire aerial battlefield was filled with the shimmering flashes of swords and the howling of ghosts and wolves! Even the white rabbit was stunned upon seeing this! Humans always said that demons were ferocious and brutal, and loved to kill each other. But now it seemed that these humans were even more like demons than they were!

Li Yu also had a look of reluctance on his face! But thinking that the Xianxia Sect would not let him go after all, and that there would be more powerful opponents in the future! Now he had to beat these people hard! Beat them into fear! Only in this way could some people retreat! So that those who came later would not dare to act rashly!

Therefore, he showed no mercy and led those monks and demons, who numbered less than a hundred, to hunt down the fleeing enemies!

It's a pity for those Nascent Soul cultivators, who were once considered the pride of heaven and powerful. But now they have become the targets of slaughter by both the enemy and us!

Sparks flashed, swords gleamed, and howls wailed! The slaughtered monks fell to the ground like raindrops! The entire aerial battlefield became a purgatory on earth!

Duan Kaishan, who was hiding in the back supervising the battle, looked at the scene before him and glanced at the ground. He couldn't help but sigh, and with a grim expression, he retreated with the six elders! He knew that those monks had been frightened and there was no chance of victory!

The battle in the air was already a foregone conclusion. And in the battle on the ground, the human race was also suffering a crushing defeat!

Although the demons were numerous, they were ultimately weak. Logically, the human army should have crushed the demon army with overwhelming force. However, this was a truncated understanding of the human race's perception of demonic beasts. After all, they believed that demonic beasts were all foolish creatures, relying solely on brute force to fight on their own, rather than uniting to fight the enemy together.

However, this time, the demon tribe has Yin Zijuan's command!
