Chapter 1425: Battle Against the Ghost Clan
Ao Hao the Great Saint’s words made several demons who harbored hatred toward the Human Clan bow their heads. If they could escape this time, they indeed needed to thank the Human Clan.
At the same time, Ao Hao was also reminding them not to lose their composure in the face of such a major event.
Yuan Sensen exerted great effort before finally pulling the iron nail out from Ao Hao’s chest. The bleeding wound was oozing black blood.
She hurriedly fed Ao Hao Chen Nan’s refined Essence Pill and Bursting Qi Pill, and within a moment, Ao Hao’s weak face regained its rosy hue, as if reaching its peak state.
Bang! Bang!
Two crisp sounds echoed as Ao Hao shattered the iron hook binding him, and even the chain piercing his palm. A formidable aura immediately filled the cave.
"Elixir Pills too?" he asked, looking down.
Yuan Sensen nodded repeatedly: "Yes, he is called Chen Nan. The elixir pills were refined by him, but after taking the Bursting Qi Pill, although the cultivation can temporarily recover, the duration is short and once the drug’s effect wears off, weakness will ensue again."
"Moreover, he was the one who devised the plan to distract the Ghost Clan’s guards here."
"Don’t forget Daoist too!" Divine Calculator echoed from outside the cave, afraid that his contribution would be left unrecognized.
Ao Hao smiled and nodded: "He deserves gratitude. I know this person; Master Canglan of the Righteous Alliance betrayed and joined the Demon Sect because of him."
"From this, it’s evident that this young Human Clan boy isn’t weak at stirring trouble."
As he spoke, vast demonic power swelled within the cave, coiling around the iron nails stabbed in the other Demon Clan members’ chests, slowly pulling them out.
Yuan Sensen quickly distributed the elixir pills to the Demon King and Great Demons; those who didn’t receive pills felt somewhat regretful.
After being sealed for so long and having much essence energy absorbed, they could hardly contribute in the upcoming battle.
All Demon Clans were rescued, and some gentle-natured demons even shed tears, remembering the name Chen Nan.
"Did Chen Nan say what should be done after lifting the seal?" Ao Hao looked down at Yuan Sensen, asking.
The other Demon Clans were very surprised, knowing Ao Hao was the Great Saint of the Demon Clan, the strategist behind the war with the Human Clan, praised for his talent and ambition, certainly not a simple-minded man.
Among the Demon Clan, he held high prestige. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Yet, this Great Saint of the Demon Clan was asking whether a human had any arrangements, which left many demons shocked and increasingly curious about Chen Nan.
Yuan Sensen nodded repeatedly, saying: "Chen Nan said that after restoring cultivation, focus the power to escape Fengdu City. He also mentioned sending someone to support him."
Ao Hao nodded, turning to look at the assembled Demon Kings and Great Demons: "That’s correct, who among you is willing to rescue Chen Nan?"
The Demon Clan remained silent; after all, rescuing would mean helping a human with whom they were just fighting to the death.
"Alas, it seems I must go myself." Ao Hao sighed.
A Demon King immediately got anxious: "Great Saint, you still need to oversee the central command; rescuing Chen Nan is something I should do!"
Ao Hao smiled, reached out, and patted the Demon King’s shoulder: "Yu Chao, I knew I chose correctly. Go, bring Chen Nan back!"
"We might end up owing him!"
The Demon Clan realized anew that, through Yuan Sensen’s few words, they knew Chen Nan was a highly skilled alchemist.
With most of the Demon Clan severely injured now, they might rely on Chen Nan for refining elixir pills.
Thus, several Great Demons stepped forward, willing to accompany Demon King Yu Chao to rescue Chen Nan.
"Alright, then let’s go!"
Ao Hao focused his thoughts, summoning the flying boat they traveled on, and let all the Demon Clan enter the vessel.
Despite many damaged parts on the flying boat caused by the Gang Wind after entering the Heavenly Cutting Abyss, even Luan Kong’s Prohibition Array couldn’t completely shield against the Gang Wind.
That time, Ao Hao stepped up to protect the clan, but the Gang Wind also injured him, making him incapable of resisting the Ghost Clan upon entering Fengdu.
Now his injuries were temporarily suppressed by the Bursting Qi Pill, confident he wouldn’t lose to those Ghost Kings.
On the other hand, Chen Nan was being relentlessly pursued by several Ghost Clans, alerting many ghosts in the city along the way.
Those Ghost Clans seemed lifeless at first glance, but before Chen Nan, they transformed into their true appearances.
Though not terrifying, they coldly sneered at Chen Nan, as if staring at meat on the chopping block, chilling him to the bone.
"Boy, you cannot escape; no living being entering Fengdu can escape!"
A Big Ghost roared, leaping upward, immense yin energy surged forth, coiling around the Wolf Fang Club, releasing haunting cries, gripping the heart.
"Die!"
The Wolf Fang Club fiercely swung down, its robust power generating a gust of wind, pressing Chen Nan directly to the ground!
Simultaneously, another Ghost Clan member expelled a dense black mist, engulfing Chen Nan grandly.
In the black mist, many figures appeared, clawing wildly like demons from Hell, clutching at Chen Nan’s body, attempting to tear off his flesh.
With a bang, the Wolf Fang Club struck heavily on Chen Nan’s head, leaving several blood marks yet failing to break his defense.
The blow awakened Chen Nan, shaking his head hard; the Soul Capturing Demon Sound was incredibly annoying, making it hard for him to break free quickly.
The fierce ghosts tearing his body made him infuriated, his body suddenly shook: "Get out!"
Heaven-Burning Transformation!
Resplendent flames surged from his body, the golden Heaven-Burning Flame being Supreme Yang Fire, having a colossal restraining effect on Ghost Clans living in yin energy.
As the flames erupted, even the surrounding black mist immediately diminished significantly.
Seeing the flames working, Chen Nan took a deep breath, pointing sharply forward: "Meteor Fire Rain!"
Fireballs coalesced in mid-air, plummeting like meteors below, exploding with a "boom."
Flames scattered, instantly forming a sea of fire, the explosive power destroying structures, Ghost Clans closeby were engulfed by flames, emitting pitiful screams.
"Damn, a Human Clan ant dares to act wildly in my Fengdu City?"
A Ghost King rushed from afar, flying with his legs transformed into a streak of black mist, resembling a legendary ghost.
Arriving before Chen Nan, his hands suddenly extended, compressing vast amounts of yin energy into two dark chains, covered with hooks on the surface.
The chains whistled forward, tightly wrapping around Chen Nan!
