Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 494 - 290: Defender_3

"Above, the sound is coming from above," someone reminded.

Everyone looked up and saw a light arrow flying upward, soaring higher and higher as if it were about to fly into the sun.

"Shooting the sun? Who is shooting at the sun?" This thought emerged in everyone’s mind, quickly followed by confusion.

Bang~ The arrow exploded in the sky, penetrating the clouds with a single shot. The force of the arrow’s explosion dispersed the clouds, revealing the sun’s edge to the people below.

A very tiny beam of sunlight fell down, unobstructed by the clouds. The sunlight landed on the ground.

The rapidly strengthening aura of the Demon General halted, and the world gradually stabilized. Its aura declined.

The Dark Day was coming to an end.

Seeing a portion of the sun revealed in the sky, everyone realized the Dark Day had passed.

Immediately, everyone was overjoyed. Although the Dark Day did not last long, the events experienced during this time were far more and more exhilarating than those of the past decades.

The Demon General’s power was restrained by the returning power of the heavens and earth, and it began to be continuously suppressed. However, Su Peng’s strength, which had already reached the peak state of the Demon General, did not diminish.

As long as the Demon General was not dead, or the duration of the Divine Soldiers had not ended, his strength could remain this strong.

Su Peng’s face lit up with excitement. He raised the weapon in his hand, which was enveloped in an indescribable force, and hammered it fiercely at the Demon General.

He couldn’t control this power and could only use it crudely to smash people, which is why his only method of attack was "smashing".

Unless his strength didn’t increase much, otherwise, he could only use it to smash people.

Boom! With unprecedented might, the Demon General’s body was directly smashed to the ground, deeply embedding it into the earth.

Before the Demon General could crawl out of the hole, Su Peng descended with this force, hammering down with no technique, just using sheer power to kill the enemy.

Boom boom boom! The earth shook, mountains crumbled, and over a dozen fissures, each hundreds of meters long, spread continuously outward.

The Demon General felt extremely stifled now. It had understood Su Peng’s divine weapon property and was now getting beaten by its own power.

The key was its power was still declining, increasingly unable to match Su Peng, which made it feel even more frustrated. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Lu Yu and Jing Yang appeared at the edge of the battlefield. Upon discovering that Su Peng could beat the Demon General, Lu Yu returned.

Seeing Su Peng and Jing Yang’s formidable strength made it impossible to have no feelings at all, but Lu Yu didn’t overthink it. They entered the Shenwu Realm much earlier than he did, so it’s normal for them to be stronger.

Moreover, he was about to cultivate to the same realm as the two of them, so, in a sense, he was actually a bit stronger.

Regular Core Formation Realm opponents, Lu Yu could handle as well. Even when facing such a powerful enemy as the Demon General, he was confident he wouldn’t be killed instantly, indicating his strength was already very high.

He was nearly catching up to the strength of Su Peng and Jing Yang.

Boom! The ground suddenly exploded, and the Demon General with a broken horn burst out from underground, Jing Yang raised his bow and shot three arrows, each hitting the Demon General and knocking it back down as it was about to fly away.

Immediately following, Su Peng charged out from underground. Seeing the Demon General landing and preparing to attack Jing Yang, he mercilessly hammered down a few more times.

In the sky, three massive phantom stick shadows, each a hundred meters long, descended toward the Demon General.

Boom boom boom~ Three intersecting giant indentations appeared on the ground. Su Peng had just figured out this usage. He found that the power entwining his stick could change according to his will.

Only very complex changes were unattainable, but creating colossal stick shadows was easily doable.

Swish swish swish~ Just as the Demon General emerged from the indentations left by the stick shadows, it was hit by several arrows. This time, the arrows were not spiritual force arrows, but real arrows.

Moreover, the arrows contained a potent demon-slaying force, and it could feel the three arrows embedded in its body continuously extinguishing the demonic qi within.

If the demonic qi completely vanished, even the Demon General would perish.

As long as they were demons, they could not survive without demonic qi. The demonic qi they relied on was like the air humans rely on, even more crucial than air is to ordinary people.

Pfft~ The Demon General directly pulled out the arrows from its body, unconcerned about the enlarged wounds caused by forcefully removing the arrows.

"Don’t think about escaping!" Just as the Demon General had removed the demon-slaying arrows, Su Peng appeared in front of it.

Boom boom boom~ Swish swish swish~ Bang bang bang~ Swish swish swish...

The two worked together seamlessly, relentlessly depleting the Demon General’s strength, and others wanted to intervene but couldn’t.

Under the duo’s continuous assault, the Demon General’s power weakened more and more, to the point where it couldn’t even heal its wounds.

"Take another blow from me," Su Peng shouted.

As he gathered strength in the air to form a stick shadow, it flickered a few times, then vanished, and Su Peng’s strong aura quickly dropped.

A stick fell on the Demon General, and it was ready to sacrifice an arm, only to find this strike was barely a scratch... or not barely a scratch, but it had weakened to the point where it couldn’t cause significant damage anymore.

The sudden drop in attack power surprised even the Demon General.

"It’s now! Demon-Slaying Dagger!"

A figure suddenly rushed out from less than ten meters away from the Demon General. At such a close distance, for everyone on the battlefield, it was a distance anyone could cross in the blink of an eye.

Facing the sudden assault, the Demon General had no chance to react, or perhaps it lacked the ability to react.

Its power had been severely weakened, dropping to the fourth level of the Core Formation Realm, and if the fight continued, it would soon fall to the mid-core formation realm.

Pfft~ The transparent Demon-Slaying Dagger pierced the Demon General’s body with no resistance, and almost instantly, the Demon General felt that familiar force.

This was already Fei Feng’s sixth sneak attack on it.

The first four attempts failed, the fifth was almost successful, but Zhou Chisheng, under demonic influence, blocked it.

The rules set by Fei Feng took effect rapidly within the Demon General, causing its demonic qi to vanish at an astounding rate.

The Demon General glanced down at the woman before it without speaking. Fei Feng gritted her teeth, nervously watching the Demon General’s changes. Sensing the life force inside it rapidly fading, she couldn’t help but smile.

It turned its head towards the people, spotting Zhang Jingyang at the edge of the battlefield, acknowledging him slightly, for he had caused significant trouble.

If it weren’t for Zhang Jingyang, it might have retreated long ago.

After glancing at Zhang Jingyang, its gaze shifted to Lu Yu, who was the truly troublesome opponent, one who had repeatedly ruined its plans with his modest strength.

Such individuals, who upon appearing would lead to the failure of demon invasion plans, had a special name among the demons — Protectors.

They were like the world’s immune system, capable of automatically eliminating some aspects unfavorable to the world. Unlike ordinary humans, Protectors typically received attention from world awareness, with more targeted luck favors.

Protectors didn’t need immense strength, but when they appeared, regardless of the strength gap between them and their opponents, under the blessing of world luck, they would usually emerge victorious.

The demons had strategies against Protectors as well, focusing on their not-so-strong inherent strength, seeking to kill them promptly to clear the influence of world power, significantly increasing the success rate of invasions.

Not all Protectors were inherently weak, so demons preferred hunting those who had exposed their identity but hadn’t yet grown.

The Demon General used the last of its strength, splitting off a trace of consciousness, forming an indelible mark and leaving it on Lu Yu.

Lu Yu felt a burning sensation on the back of his hand and saw a demon head with a long, curved horn appear.

"What is this?"
