Chapter 519: Chapter 400: The Rout of the Ten Thousand Demons, an Unexpected Complication

Inside the Blood Flame Cave, although the Grandmasters were locked in their own fierce battles, they were all paying close attention to the unfolding situation.

"What a ferociously tyrannical strike!" one Grandmaster exclaimed, catching a glimpse of the Blood Demon Hand’s fate amid his own battle. He couldn’t help but be horrified.

"The Ice Soul Divine Needle! It truly lives up to its reputation!"

"..."

The Grandmasters from the Garrison Commandant’s Office couldn’t help but feel relieved that Gu Qingchan was on their side. Otherwise, they feared they would not have been able to escape such a ferocious attack either.

Meanwhile, the expressions of the Ten Thousand Demons Grandmasters turned incredibly grim, their eyes glinting with deep apprehension. If Gu Qingchan were to pull a move like that again during a heated battle, they feared they would suffer the same fate as the Blood Demon Hand.

"Fairy Gu is of peerless elegance and possesses astonishing combat power! With Fairy Gu here, we will surely crush the Ten Thousand Demons Sect in one fell swoop!" a Grandmaster from the Garrison Commandant’s Office shouted. His voice boomed like rolling thunder, filled with inspiring power.

"Fairy Gu!"

"Everyone, fight alongside me! Victory in this battle is certain!"

"Everyone, the time has come to sacrifice ourselves for righteousness!"

"Kill!"

"..."

The many elites participating in the siege all roared, their morale soaring. It was as if they could see the dawn of victory, and every one of them fought with all their might.

The fall of the Blood Demon Hand also freed up Qu Zhaocheng to join the fray, and the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. The Ten Thousand Demon Thieves, even with the aid of the blood mist, began to appear flustered and were forced onto the defensive. In contrast, the forces from the Garrison Commandant’s Office fought with increasing valor, their morale sky-high.

"Damn it!" The Blood Chain in the Blood Robe Man’s hand danced like a frenzied dragon, blocking a heavy, powerful slash from Situ Ba. The fall of the Blood Demon Hand and the sudden downturn on the battlefield made his expression utterly foul.

"Retreat!"

The Blood Robe Man’s eyes were crimson, and his voice carried a trace of unwillingness and despair, but in the end, he still gave the order to retreat.

WHOOSH~

The bloody light around the Blood Robe Man instantly flared, like a surging Sea of Blood, momentarily repelling the fierce attacks from Gu Qingchan and Situ Ba.

Burning Blood Escape!

This was his ultimate life-saving technique. By consuming his True Essence, he could burst forth with astonishing speed. A thick bloody aura coiled around his body. Amidst the flickering crimson light, his figure instantly blurred like a phantom, and he rapidly pulled away.

"After him!"

Seeing this, a harsh glint flashed in Situ Ba’s eyes. ’Things have come to this; how could I let him escape so easily?’ His True Essence surged, and he shot off in the Blood Robe Man’s direction.

Blue light flickered around Gu Qingchan as her graceful figure followed closely behind.

With the Blood Robe Man’s order to retreat, the Ten Thousand Demon Thieves on the scene immediately fell into chaos. They had been holding on to a sliver of wishful thinking, hoping to gain an advantage in the battle. But now, with their Altar Master’s retreat, the outcome was sealed, and their hopes were shattered.

At the same time, the four remaining Ten Thousand Demons Grandmasters on the scene also began to retreat. Instantly, True Essence surged and light filled the air as each of them unleashed their ultimate life-saving techniques, intending to escape.

"Hmph. Trying to run? Have you asked my sword for permission?"

Seeing the black-robed man attempting to flee, Feng Wuhen snorted coldly. With a sudden swing of his Longsword, he blocked the man’s path.

He had wanted to support Qing Chan earlier but had been tied down by this black-robed man, unable to break away. Now that his opponent saw the unfavorable situation and wanted to flee, there was no way Feng Wuhen would let him get his wish.

In an instant, elegant flashes of the sword and intersecting sword shadows formed an invisible net, trapping the black-robed man in place.

...

Aside from the black-robed man, the escape of the other three Ten Thousand Demons Grandmasters was not going smoothly either.

Qu Zhaocheng temporarily gave up his pursuit of the Ten Thousand Demons’ Remnants below, choosing instead to join the Grandmasters’ battle and create a numbers advantage.

"Beidou Mountain-Bashing Fist!"

Following his furious roar, his fists instantly erupted with a brilliant light, like a cluster of starlight, containing astonishing power.

BANG! BANG! BANG! Amidst the thunderous impacts, the Grandmasters used their superior numbers to firmly trap the Ten Thousand Demons Grandmasters.

Chen Ping’an assessed the situation on the battlefield and finally decided to give chase.

’There are too many Grandmasters here. Even if I make a move, I won’t gain much from it. I might as well chase after these fleeing Ten Thousand Demons’ Remnants and rack up some merits.’

...

SWOOSH!

In a winding, rugged, and dimly lit cavern, a blood-colored figure shot past like a phantom, leaving behind a heart-stopping crimson afterimage. SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Not long after the crimson afterimage faded, two more figures appeared in quick succession within the cavern. They were just as fast, covering a vast distance in the blink of an eye.

These two figures were none other than Gu Qingchan and Situ Ba. Spiritual Energy flickered between their brows as they stared intently at the blood-colored figure ahead, their eyes filled with determination and Killing Intent.

’This Blood Robe Man’s identity is extraordinary. He is very likely the Altar Master of this Ten Thousand Demons Sub-Altar. He absolutely cannot be allowed to escape.’

Inside the cavern, the three figures weaved through in a high-speed chase. They traversed the narrow passages, sometimes leaping, sometimes soaring, and sometimes dodging, each displaying their astonishing Body Techniques and power.

However, the Blood Robe Man was extremely familiar with this network of caverns. Relying on his knowledge of the terrain, he constantly used the winding paths and traps within to hinder Gu Qingchan and Situ Ba’s pursuit. This made their chase exceptionally difficult, and for a time, they were unable to close the distance between them and the Blood Robe Man.

Just when they thought the chase would be a long one, the Blood Robe Man suddenly ran through a hidden Shi Men. The two figures flickered and pursued him without a moment’s hesitation.
