Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains
Chapter 845 - 845: 369, Consecutive Conquest of 7 Cities, The Reality and Illusion of the Chan Sect (Part 3)_3

"The Earthshade Monastic Soldiers can't hold them off. We can't just stay here and die. Run quickly!"

......

The sound of defeat echoed in his ear from below, causing Wu Yuan's face to flush red. He regretted bringing the city's Martial Artists over to help defend, almost making his intestines turn green with remorse.

The Red Flame Army are the elite of the Holy Land. He anticipated that thirty thousand Earthshade Monastic Soldiers couldn't hold them off, so he gathered sect members from the city, along with some wandering Martial Artists or those from other factions, to defend together. At least they managed to gather over a hundred thousand people, instantly surpassing the attacking Red Flame Army in numbers. He had been quite proud earlier.

But now that the battle began, having more troops turned into a disadvantage.

The members of Leiyin Temple were still reliable. The Earthshade Monastic Soldiers were exceptional, but the problem lay with those wandering Martial Artists or the other factions' warriors within the city. Wu Yuan knew that people from Hexi were probably causing chaos to unsettle the troops, but he had no way to resolve it.

After all, their defeat was real!

Those wandering Martial Artists could see the defeat, so no one would suspect it was a trick from Hexi. They simply believed someone was fleeing and followed immediately, causing a chain reaction that was, frankly, deadly.

Even the devoted sect members of Leiyin Temple began to flee, and although the elite Earthshade Monastic Soldiers did not directly fall apart, their morale was affected by the confusing sounds and movements. They were struggling to hold on against the Red Flame Army, and now they were starting to retreat quickly.

Pengkang County is really going to be lost!

No, that's not right, there's still hope to hold on.

Wu Yuan suddenly looked up at the sky, and a flash of amazement crossed his pupils.

In mid-air, a seven-thousand-foot-tall Demon Ape Martial Spirit, holding a massive staff shrouded in black aura, was continuously swinging at the five rays of golden light surrounding it. Those lights were clearly the high monks of Leiyin Temple, each showing martial arts, joining forces to deal with the fierce Demon Ape Martial Spirit.

If the five honored ones can defeat Hou Yuxiao, Pengkang County can still be saved!

Seeing the battle above still ongoing, Wu Yuan suddenly came to a realization and turned to shout at the Earthshade Monastic Soldiers struggling below: "Earthshade monks, hold on for a moment longer. Once the five honored ones defeat Hou Yuxiao, the Red Flame Army will scatter like birds and beasts."

However, just as the words left his mouth, before he could see a rise in the Earthshade Monastic Soldiers' morale, a domineering, unparalleled laughter came from mid-air, not only extinguishing the last thread of hope in his heart but also plunging the Earthshade Monastic Soldiers, who had just begun to show some resilience, into utter despair.

"You think you five can defeat me, hahahahaha!"

The Demon Ape Martial Spirit in the sky, resembling a crazed demon, suddenly lifted the staff horizontally over its head and swung it violently around. It shattered the surrounding space with a thunderous wave, causing fierce winds within hundreds of miles. The staff, transformed into a black shadow, swept through with a raging storm of spiritual power, obliterating everything in its path.

The five rays of golden light that had just been surrounding the Demon Ape Martial Spirit were struck in an instant. Five groans echoed from them, and the originally brilliant light dimmed significantly in a flash.

"Five Buddhas, indeed not even the World-Honored One can be sent out now. It looks like Leiyin Temple is in serious trouble this time. With this, there's truly no place left for you baldy monks in Jianye Prefecture!"

Hou Yuxiao's cold laughter made Wu Yuan and the five honored ones tremble violently.
