My gorgeous wife-Chapter 1732 - 1701: Urgency

Upon hearing this voice, a look of surprise appeared on Yue Gouchen’s face for the first time.

"Monk Wuxuan?"

A crack split through the creatures of the Demon Realm, and a middle-aged monk with a calm expression stepped through, fighting his way to where Li Chen and the others were located.

He was also a Heavenly King, and moreover, a Fifth Rank Heavenly King.

Li Chen sighed inwardly; finally, someone had come to help. Otherwise, with just them, they probably wouldn’t be able to hold out for three days. Although having one more person might not make much difference, having additional strength was always a good thing.

At this moment, strong figures began to emerge from the Demon Realm army, although none were Heavenly King level, the power of these Demon Realm creatures was becoming increasingly formidable.

Moreover, Li Chen noticed that the endless Demon Realm army seemed to have diminished somewhat.

Indeed, if there were so many high-grade Demon Realm creatures, there wouldn’t even be a need to battle the Heaven Realm.

Soon, after Monk Wuxuan’s arrival, the group faced their first crisis.

A group of over a hundred Fifth Rank Demon Realm creatures charged forward.

At such a level of cultivation, these Demon Realm creatures also seemed to possess extraordinary intelligence, quite unlike the mindless cannon fodder.

While joining the attack, they rarely showed themselves, preferring instead to hide among countless cannon fodder and launch surprise attacks.

Although Li Chen and the others wanted to ignore these Fifth Rank Demon Realm creatures, if they really did, the power of the Fifth Rank could still cause them significant trouble with a sneak attack, so they dared not be careless.

Soon, with these Fifth Rank Demon Realm creatures keeping them in check, the group found themselves in a predicament of being able neither to advance nor retreat.

Although with the stacking of domains, these Fifth Rank creatures posed no great threat, their presence meant that Li Chen and the others could no longer slaughter indiscriminately as before.

"Damn it! If this continues, we’re really in trouble," Bai Shi’s face darkened.

At this moment, he had transformed into his true form, wielding a large iron rod like a madman.

The Qilin Clan Youth, having recovered significantly with Li Chen’s pill, also joined the battle.

Just then, the previously low-key Daolan Heavenly King suddenly raised his long sword.

"Sword!"

At that moment, an unusual light burst from the long sword, and the aura around Daolan Heavenly King became enigmatic and unpredictable.

"Dao!"

With Daolan Heavenly King’s second powerful shout, Li Chen’s Eye of the Dao observed lines beginning to extend from Daolan Heavenly King’s long sword.

Even he had never seen such power before, unable to analyze what kind of power was on these lines.

But soon, the group of strong fighters noticed points of light similar to the glow on Daolan Heavenly King’s long sword emerging among the Demon Realm’s army.

These points of light were precisely the batch of Fifth Rank Demon Realm creatures that had caused the group so much difficulty!

"Fall!"

In the air, a cold shout came from Daolan Heavenly King.

Immediately, a series of sounds rang out.

"Crack!"

"Crack, crack..."

Li Chen was shocked to discover that those Fifth Rank Demon Realm creatures, which had nearly driven them mad, suddenly had a clear crack appear on their heads.

The crack seemed as if it had been cleaved into their skulls, resembling a sword mark!

"What is this power?" Li Chen’s eyes widened, as Daolan Heavenly King’s move seemed to open the door to a new world for him.

He could feel that this was also an application of the Way of the Sword, but the manner of application was unheard of.

Li Chen’s use of the sword was still fixated on the sword itself, at most combining his power with his sword technique.

But Daolan Heavenly King seemed to have reached a whole other realm.

"Good!" Monk Wuxuan’s staff swept out, raising a mysterious wave that annihilated several hundred Demon Realm creatures in front of him before he looked at Daolan Heavenly King and exclaimed in approval.

Without the Fifth Rank creatures to hinder them, their combat became much more fluid.

However, when the group saw yet another batch of several hundred Fifth Rank Demon Realm creatures charging over, they could no longer smile.

"Is the Demon Realm trying to open a second battlefield here?!" Daolan Heavenly King’s face turned grim.

No one answered Daolan Heavenly King’s question, nor could anyone answer.

But this again batch of Fifth Rank Demon Realm creatures truly did create a bigger problem.

"Boom!!"

Bai Shi was struck in the back by a huge fist, vomiting blood as he was sent flying. Fortunately, Li Chen used the Power of Space to hold Bai Shi steady, preventing him from being flung directly into the Demon Realm army.

Li Chen squinted slightly, identifying the attacker as a giant with Fifth Rank Peak power.

This batch of several hundred Fifth Rank creatures was no longer as weak as before; among them, powerful figures were appearing.

This giant with a horned helmet at Fifth Rank Peak was one such figure.

Although not yet at Heavenly King level, Li Chen was sure the giant wasn’t far from it.

"Cease Spear!"

Seeing the giant attempting to retreat after the surprise attack, Li Chen’s sword tip quivered.

"Buzz~"

"Unsheathing the sword!"

A blood-red blade light swept across, obliterating the entire group of Demon Realm creatures, including the giant, yet Li Chen’s expression remained grim.

"This is troublesome."

The strength of these individuals was growing, increasing the threat they posed. If this continued, they were bound to falter sooner or later.

"Old Bai, are you okay?" Li Chen patted Bai Shi’s shoulder, asking.

"No problem, just a minor wound." Bai Shi grinned.

However, Li Chen’s heart sank, for he noticed Bai Shi had accumulated quite a few wounds over time, minor injuries from the battle.

He had his share of such wounds as well.

Though minor, accumulating too many small wounds could become major, even fatal.

And so far, only half of the three days had passed.

He had no idea if even more Demon Realm strongmen would appear later, but at this pace, they wouldn’t last much longer.

Li Chen saw that with these Fifth Rank strongmen intercepting, many Demon Realm creatures had already started rushing beyond the Remnant Cloud Forest.

Presumably, within the range of Nanxiang Prefecture, many Demon Realm creatures had already begun attacking Martial Artists.

"Is it really meaningful for us to push ourselves like this?" This thought inevitably surfaced in Li Chen’s mind.

He didn’t know if it was meaningful, but by now, he had to start considering their own safety.

Fifth Rank enemies weren’t weak anymore, and if they continued like this, they risked losing their lives if not careful.

Many times, Li Chen had been fearless of death, but that didn’t mean he was a saint.

In his view, he was just an ordinary person with slightly more power. He had his own self-interest, and sacrificing his life here in vain wasn’t worth it. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Is there really no hope?" Li Chen glanced at the few around him, sighing deeply in his heart.
