Linghu Chong glanced at the seemingly endless demonic sect members all around him, then looked at the figures still fighting ahead and called out.
"Junior brother."
A sword aura was unleashed, killing several members of the Demonic Sect. Jiang Ning, who was fighting the enemy, heard Linghu Chong's voice behind him. He turned around and saw Linghu Chong looking exhausted, and knew that the other party could not hold on any longer.
"Something's not right. It feels like we can't kill them all."
Linghu Chong voiced his doubts.
Logically speaking, with the help of his fellow disciples and the two ferocious beasts, the Xuan Turtle and the Spirit Serpent, they should have been able to break through the encirclement. However, the surrounding demonic forces seemed endless, and the battle lines had not been pushed forward at all, nor had they seen any of their own people. This was highly abnormal.
Listening to Linghu Chong's complaints, Jiang Ning also realized the problem and said something.
"Senior Brother, please wait a moment while I see what's going on."
After saying that, Jiang Ning swept away the surrounding demonic sect members with a sword, then stomped his foot and landed on the back of the Xuan Turtle.
Jiang Ning looked around and saw that, with him and Linghu Chong at the center, waves of members of the Demonic Cult were constantly surging in.
Ok?
Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes, looked into the distance, and finally noticed the problem.
In the rear of the Demonic Cult, a man was directing troops. With each wave of his hand, waves of Demonic Cult members joined the various battlefields, especially on his side.
"Ren Yingying".
Looking at Ren Yingying, who was directing the demonic sect members in battle, Jiang Ning's eyes flashed with killing intent.
Meanwhile, Ren Yingying, who was deploying troops in the rear of the Demonic Sect, seemed to notice Jiang Ning's gaze and looked in this direction, where she saw Jiang Ning on the back of the Xuan Turtle.
A cold smile appeared on Ren Yingying's face.
Ever since Jiang Ning chased her for three hundred miles, she and Jiang Ning have been sworn enemies.
Ren Yingying hated Jiang Ning to the bone and dreamed of killing him, but she knew that the gap between her and Jiang Ning was widening, like an insurmountable chasm. It was impossible for her to kill Jiang Ning with her martial arts skills, so Ren Yingying suppressed her idea of seeking revenge on Jiang Ning.
But now that the great war between the righteous and the demonic forces has broken out, and Ren Woxing has joined the fray, Ren Yingying has taken over the command of the demonic sect's battle. Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong have also invaded their territory. Ren Yingying knows that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she keeps sending people to besiege and kill Jiang Ning.
As Ren Yingying continued to issue orders, more and more members of the Demonic Cult joined the battlefield on Jiang Ning's side, almost overwhelming Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong.
Jiang Ning glanced coldly at the other party, then leaped to the ground.
"Senior Brother, it's the demoness from the Demonic Sect targeting us."
Jiang Ning explained the situation to Linghu Chong.
Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong frowned.
Can we call for help?
Jiang Ning shook his head.
They had penetrated deep into the heart of the Demonic Sect, far from their own battlefield. Even now, they were still quite a distance away, and Ren Yingying was constantly sending people to surround them, both killing them and resisting reinforcements from their own forces.
Seeing this, Linghu Chong felt a sense of despair.
Are we going to die here today?
"Junior brother, it's my fault that you've been harmed."
Linghu Chong looked at Jiang Ning with a face full of apology.
"If you hadn't fought your way into the heart of the Demonic Sect to save me, the Demonic Sect's demoness wouldn't have had the chance."
Linghu Chong is now filled with regret. He acted impulsively and recklessly charged into the Demonic Sect, only to find himself in danger, which has now implicated Jiang Ning.
It doesn't matter if he dies, but if he kills Jiang Ning too, how can he face his master?
Jiang Ning has already been designated as the successor of the Huashan Sect, and the future leader of the Huashan Sect is a foregone conclusion. If Jiang Ning were gone, who knows how crazy Yue Buqun would go?
"Junior brother, don't worry about me. You and the Xuan Turtle Spirit Snake go first."
Linghu Chong gritted his teeth and said.
His internal energy is almost depleted, and continuing would only be a burden. Rather than that, he should do his best to help Jiang Ning escape danger.
"What do you mean by that, Senior Brother? We are brothers fighting side by side to kill the enemy. How could I abandon you and live on in disgrace?"
Jiang Ning shook his head.
There's no point in saying anything more now that things have come to this.
"Senior Brother, there's only one way now."
"any solution?"
Linghu Chong quickly asked.
Jiang Ning looked in Ren Yingying's direction.
"Ren Yingying is now in full command of the Demonic Sect. Only by killing her can the Demonic Sect be thrown into chaos."
Jiang Ning turned around and glanced at Linghu Chong.
"Senior Brother, I will have the Xuan Turtle and Spirit Snake lead you out of the encirclement. I will go and kill Ren Yingying."
"no!"
Linghu Chong was shocked upon hearing this and immediately refused.
"How can you manage all by yourself?"
"It's a pipe dream to think that Yu Wanjun can take the enemy's head from among the enemy's troops. It's no different from sending them to their deaths," Linghu Chong advised.
"Junior brother, don't worry about me, go first. You and Master can avenge me."
Linghu Chong wanted to persuade Jiang Ning, but Jiang Ning had already given orders to the Xuan Turtle and the Spirit Serpent, and then flew into the air towards the rear of the Demonic Sect.
"Junior brother!"
Linghu Chong's shout quickly disappeared into the surrounding shouts of battle. Jiang Ning leaped into the air, soaring a great distance. Just as he was about to land, the Demonic Sect below had already raised their weapons, ready to pierce him with countless holes as he fell.
Jiang Ning glanced down, his expression showing no panic. With a surge of internal energy, he managed to stop his descent and leaped forward a considerable distance.
The demonic sect members beneath Jiang Ning's feet were knocked to the ground in disarray by Jiang Ning's internal force.
call out!call out!call out!
Arrows shot out from the demonic cult below, heading straight for Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning flicked his sleeve, unleashing a surge of internal energy that sent the arrows flying into the demonic sect below, accompanied by a chorus of screams.
Jiang Ning, relying on his profound internal strength, flew over the Demonic Sect and was already not far from Ren Yingying.
Ren Yingying had already noticed Jiang Ning's approach and kept sending people to attack him, but Jiang Ning thwarted them all. Seeing that Jiang Ning was about to attack, Ren Yingying did not panic, and even showed a cold smile.
Ren Yingying raised her hand and waved it, and the surrounding members of the Demonic Cult quickly surrounded her, engulfing her in their presence. They disappeared in the next second.
Ren Yingying was not as arrogant as Ren Woxing. She would not joke with her own life. Seeing that Jiang Ning, this madman, wanted to take her life in the midst of thousands of troops, she would not gamble that her subordinates could protect her.
Chapter 722: The Demon Tide
Ren Yingying's figure quickly disappeared into the crowd. By the time Jiang Ning arrived, she was already gone, leaving only an endless number of demonic cult members surrounding him.
Jiang Ning scanned left and right, seeing enemies everywhere he looked.
Without further hesitation, Jiang Ning looked up to the sky and roared loudly.
A terrifying sound wave spread outwards from Jiang Ning, and countless demonic sect disciples screamed in agony, falling to the ground and wailing, blood flowing from their seven orifices and their faces contorted like vengeful ghosts.
However, one wave subsided only for another to rise, with wave after wave of noise spreading in all directions like ocean waves, affecting even the members of the demonic sect who were a little further away.
Ren Yingying, who had already retreated some distance away, couldn't help but turn around and look at this scene with a horrified expression.
Jiang Ning's move was so powerful and wide-ranging that it even affected her side. The demonic sect experts protecting her were also affected, their figures swaying as if they could not hold on.
Ren Yingying's face was extremely pale.
Even she felt uncomfortable with Jiang Ning's move.
If she were close enough to Jiang Ning, he probably wouldn't even need to lift a finger; the opponent's shriek alone would have been enough to make her bleed from all seven orifices and die.
However, although Ren Yingying was shocked by the terror of Jiang Ning's move, she couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Such a powerful and wide-ranging move must consume a great deal of internal energy. Jiang Ning is now trapped in their rear, surrounded by enemies, with no one to help him. Once the enemy's internal energy is exhausted, it will be their death.
Ren Yingying couldn't help but sneer.
Regardless of the outcome of this battle, as long as Jiang Ning can be killed, it will be enough to quell her deep hatred.
With this in mind, Ren Yingying continued to command her followers to surge towards Jiangning, determined to bury him there.
The shrieks continued unabated. Jiang Ning walked among the demonic cult members like a human-shaped natural disaster, searching for Ren Yingying's figure. Wherever he went, countless people died or were injured.
After clearing an area, Jiang Ning temporarily stopped the output of Ghost Domain Yin Wind Roar and adjusted his internal energy.
At this moment, Jiang Ning was surrounded by the corpses of the Demonic Sect, and the Demonic Sect members around him did not step forward for the time being. They looked at the person in the center with a look of fear in their eyes.
The deaths of their own men in droves instilled fear in them towards Jiangning.
Jiang Ning was also watching them. His clothes were completely soaked in blood, emitting a strong smell of blood. Blood kept dripping from the blade of the Zhenwu Sword, running down to the tip and onto the ground.
Jiang Ning's jade crown had fallen off at some point, and his long black hair was disheveled. Coupled with his cold and fierce eyes, this image left a great shadow among the members of the Demonic Sect, frightening them so much that they dared not approach.
But only a moment later, a man stepped forward and shouted.
"The Holy Maiden has decreed! This man must be killed, no matter the cost!"
Ren Yingying gave the order, and the members of the Demonic Cult surrounding Jiang Ning did not hesitate. One of the Demonic Cult members raised his knife and was the first to attack Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning glanced at him coldly and casually dismembered him with a single sword stroke.
But more members of the evil cult surrounded them.
The battle started again.
At this point, Jiang Ning stopped using the Ghost Domain Yin Wind Roar, intentionally conserving his internal energy.
Now that he is in the enemy's rear, he cannot recklessly squander his inner strength. Although his inner strength is very profound, it is not inexhaustible. Apart from large-scale killing moves such as Ghost Domain Yin Wind Roar, Jiang Ning tries to conserve his inner strength and rarely uses sword energy. He only uses his inner strength to cover the True Martial Sword to form sword light to kill the enemy.
Nevertheless, many members of the Demonic Cult died under Jiang Ning's sword.
"drink!"
A skilled swordsman from the Demonic Sect charged in from the left, his eyes contorted with rage.
Jiang Ning glanced at him, flicked his wrist, and swung his sword. With a clang, the demonic sect expert was cut in two by the True Martial Sword, sword and all.
The tragic death of this member of the demonic sect did not arouse fear among others; instead, it brought a look of surprise to some of the sect's experts nearby.
They've been fighting for so long, and Jiang Ning hasn't used that terrifying sonic attack or his sword energy, which is enough to show that his internal energy is probably insufficient.
A hint of excitement appeared in everyone's eyes.
Although many of them have died by now, if they can really kill Ning Yanwang, that will be something for them to boast about.
Thinking of this, everyone wanted to kill Jiang Ning right now, but they restrained themselves the next second.
Now that Jiang Ning is surrounded, his death is inevitable. But they must be wary of a desperate counterattack. They all want to kill Jiang Ning, but they don't want to be dragged down with him.
After fighting for a while longer, one of them laughed loudly at Jiang Ning.
"Ning Yanwang, you really do lack internal energy, otherwise why can't you even use sword energy?"
The other experts who were besieging Jiangning couldn't help but burst into laughter.
At this moment, a burly man, thinking that Jiang Ning was probably at his last gasp, could no longer hold back and strode towards Jiang Ning. After getting some distance away from Jiang Ning, he pounced on him and tried to take him down.
Upon seeing the man's attack, Jiang Ning's gaze turned cold. He raised his leg and kicked out, striking the man squarely in the chest. The burly man flew backward at an extremely fast speed, crashing into several members of the Demonic Cult behind him before finally stopping.
"Wow!"
The burly man couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood as soon as he landed, along with fragments of his internal organs.
Although Jiang Ning did not use internal force in this kick, his physical strength alone was enough to take half the strong man's life.
Jiang Ning kicked a skilled member of the Demonic Sect, crippling him, and then continued fighting.
The other members of the Demonic Sect showed no fear at Jiang Ning's terrifying kick; instead, they became even more excited.
They were all discerning enough to know that Jiang Ning hadn't used any internal energy in that kick; he had only relied on his superior physical strength.
Ning Yanwang's internal strength is indeed insufficient!
