Journey to the West: Signing in for 500 Years-Chapter 624 - 618: Give Me Some Face (Seeking Subscription and Monthly Tickets)_1

Zhao Gongming let out a hearty laugh, his eyes brimming with frenzy.

He had led troops to attack the Demonic Cave for more than five years. The Heavenly Court had long been dissatisfied with him and constantly applied pressure. Today's decisive battle was also, in a way, a favor from the Jade Emperor.

Luckily, hard work pays off, and today's outcome exceeded his expectations.

Although the demons stubbornly resisted, his overwhelming strength still allowed him to dominantly suppress them.

Moreover, the fact that the demons were already considering retreat today proved his victory was imminent.

He couldn't possibly let Red Boy and the others go, so he had to speak to dampen their morale and confidence.

As expected, the morale on the side of the Demon World collapsed, and the Bull Demon King and others were filled with despair.

But Red Boy and the others viewed death as a return home; their aura was even more formidable, their eyes filled with rage and the determination for a last stand.

However, combat isn't solely dependent on morale but is also closely related to one's own strength.

The gap between their strength and Zhao Gongming's was too vast. Zhao Gongming's abilities were superior, his cultivation profound, and his mana boundless.

This was something they could not hope to match. Nor was it something they could surpass merely by relying on spirit.

As both sides fought desperately, the Bull Demon King's side was ready to die in resistance, even prepared to self-destruct.

Zhao Gongming's side, on the other hand, became more and more secure. They did not wish to die heroically, nor did they want to sacrifice themselves for duty. Capturing these demons and returning to the Heavenly Court with the report was sufficient; to pay with their lives was simply not worth it.

Just then, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and from within that fissure, three balls of firelight flew out.

Everyone was greatly shocked, feeling intense heat from the firelight. Then they saw clearly that it was comprised of three phoenixes.

The colors of the three phoenixes varied, but they were all exceptionally beautiful and incredibly terrifying.

They were The Phoenix Clan's three sisters, who had been transported here by Sha Chen, and they immediately sensed the aura of a great battle.

The three sisters were naturally eager and ready for a fight.

They also sensed familiar auras, such as those of the White Bone Demon, the Black Bear Demon, and Marshal Tianpeng from the Demon World.

Jade Rabbit and others, who were battling demons at a far distance, also had their presence caught by the sisters, uplifting their spirits.

The three sisters didn't understand the situation at first, but they knew which side they should help.

The White Bone Demon also noticed The Phoenix Clan sisters and hesitated to recognize them at first. This was because she had not expected the sisters to possess such terrifying cultivation; they had already reached the Intermediate Stage of Semi-saint and, coupled with their true phoenix forms, emitted a formidable heavenly majesty unmatched by others within the same realm.

However, once she recognized them, the White Bone Demon quickly called out, "Bai Luan, come help us quickly and deal with these gods and Buddhas."

The Phoenix Clan sisters exchanged glances and immediately joined the battle.

They themselves sought battle to hone their skills and were even more eager to help Sha Chen. Staying at the Flowing Sand River offered little opportunity to assist, but here, Sha Chen's followers were threatened, so lending a hand was also, in a way, doing Sha Chen a favor.

Once the three sisters joined the fight, fire blazed to the sky, emitting a chilling killing intent.

Wherever The Phoenix Clan passed, groups of celestial soldiers fell like dumplings, turning to charcoal and plummeting into the abyss.

Zhao Gongming's face changed drastically, and he roared in uncontrollable anger, "What kind of fiends dare to assist tyranny? Watch as I capture you!"

Bai Luan shouted fiercely, "You must be Zhao Gongming, right? We haven't even settled the score with you, yet you come to us, making life difficult for us everywhere. Do you really think we're easy to bully?"

Zhao Gongming was bewildered. He didn't understand how he had offended these phoenixes, with whom he had no enmity in the past nor any recent grudges.

But he could tell that the three phoenixes seemed to be in cahoots with these demons, so he didn't intend to hold back.

It would be a good choice to capture these three phoenixes, whether to adopt them as righteous daughters or refine them into mounts.

However, he clearly underestimated The Phoenix Clan sisters. The three sisters together set up the Three Talents Phoenix Array, which was powerful enough to contend with a High-rank Quasi Saint.

Even though Zhao Gongming was at the Quasi-Sage Peak, an extraordinarily strong combatant, he was already exhausted, and other formidable experts were besieging him.

Forget facing a High-rank Quasi Saint; one or two more at the Intermediate Stage of Semi-saint, or even ordinary Quasi-Saints, would be enough to throw him into disarray.

The result was that The Phoenix Clan sisters, by joining forces and arranging a Formation, managed to unleash the strength of a High-rank Quasi Saint, naturally causing Zhao Gongming to be overwhelmed and struggle to respond.

In just a hundred moves, Zhao Gongming was already falling behind, and after a thousand moves, he began to show signs of defeat.

Zhao Gongming was furious. He immediately gathered gods and Buddhas from all directions to his side, planning an ultimate high-tier showdown.

The Demon World had already lost many of its high-tier combatants, while the Heavenly Court and Buddhism remained relatively intact.

Once their forces were consolidated, with high-tier facing high-tier, the common celestial soldiers faced increased pressure, but the Demon World's high-tier combatants were instantly hampered, the strain on them suddenly surging.

They all understood one thing: this battle was never a contest between the weak. The ultimate outcome would depend on the victory or defeat of these high-tier combatants.

The Emperor of the Five Sacred Mountains stood beside Zhao Gongming. Various experts gathered there; all high-tier combatants, including Daluo Golden Immortal-level Quasi-Saints, were present.

Such an assembly was earth-shattering, causing countless demons from the Demon World to feel despair.

The Bull Demon King's side also gathered its experts. With the addition of The Phoenix Clan sisters, they finally saw a gleam of hope.

Moreover, The Phoenix Clan used True Fire to help them heal and provided them with Healing Pills to cure their wounds, offering them a chance to breathe.

However, the ultimate outcome still hinged on the final clash.

Zhao Gongming said, "Where exactly do you three come from? Ever since the ancient era, The Phoenix Clan has secluded itself in the mountains, disengaged from worldly affairs."

"Now that the Heavenly Court wants to capture the dregs of the Demon World, does your involvement not make you fear bringing calamity upon your entire clan? I hope you three consider carefully and do not repeat your mistakes."

But as soon as he finished speaking, The Phoenix Clan sisters scoffed.

"It's clear that you were in the wrong from the start, and yet you have the nerve to ask us to consider? You gods and Buddhas opposing them is the same as picking a fight with us sisters!"

Zhao Gongming frowned. "You seem to bear a deep grudge against me, but I have no recollection. I don't remember ever encountering you, let alone having any feud with you."

The Phoenix Clan sisters wanted to bring up Sha Chen's name, but after hesitating for a moment, they decided to remain silent.

Seeing this, Zhao Gongming decided not to dwell on it further, intending instead to take them all down in one fell swoop.

At that moment, a sigh descended from heaven. The sky split open again, and a dazzling golden light enveloped everyone present.

Sha Chen's voice resonated, "Zhao Gongming, do me a favor and call for a ceasefire between both sides."
