Demon King: Hero, don't run away!

Chapter 826: Faltering


The Holy Light on Changliu River's body spread out, and a red light emanated from Yang Yu's body, activating the [Red Blood Path] in silence.

Utilizing the charge effect from [Red Blood Path], Yang Yu managed to prevent himself from being knocked back.

After preventing the knockback, Yang Yu swiftly disengaged [Red Blood Path], swinging the long sword in his hand towards Changliu River.

Raising the hammer handle, Changliu River barely deflected Yang Yu's strike.

Suddenly, a golden arrow broke through the sky.

But its target wasn't Changliu River; it was Yang Yu. As the arrow neared Yang Yu, it transformed into a mist and infused into Yang Yu's body.

The effect of the [Holy Light Acceleration Stone] in Iyas's hand hadn't ended yet, as he drew the bowstring and bestowed [True Word Blessing] onto Yang Yu.

Changliu River is a Holy Knight. If there's no way to continuously suppress him, it's tough to take him down.

Yang Yu seized this rare opportunity, and naturally, Iyas lent him a helping hand.

Bai Jin was not idle either; swiftly weaving several spells to clear out the retreating soldiers, then communicating telepathically with Yang Yu to confirm the battle plan ahead.

"Yes. Yes.

I understand.

Lotcar, there's no need to flee anymore.

Attack the mages in the distance, and dispel the barrier."

Bai Jin, in place of Yang Yu, issued the command, and Lotcar immediately pivoted its stance.

The [Sacred Ripples] released by Iyas earlier consecutively knocked back several Boxers who could use [Gravity Control], clearing the debuffs on Lotcar.

In the enemy's confusion, Lotcar knocked away several Luo Ze Elites ahead, using sharp claws and teeth to tear a path forward, cooperating with the attacks of Iyas and Bai Jin, and rushed towards the Luo Ze Mage releasing the barrier.

Using the effect of the armor on him to block one of Yang Yu's attacks, gaining some time, Changliu River didn't initially heal himself but instead shouted towards Kui Yi, who was similarly knocked back in the distance:

"Kui Yi, quickly provide support!"

Touching the viscous liquid on his body, Kui Yi, holding dual blades, was somewhat dazed, muttering:

"Support?"

Raising his head, Kui Yi looked bewilderedly at the battlefield, unclear about the situation. He remembered he was invited by Miss Jin to the mansion for a cup of tea... then...

Kui Yi couldn't recall what happened afterwards...

He only remembered he had undergone a very peculiar ritual...

No matter how much Kui Yi tried, he couldn't recall any details about that ritual.

Suddenly, a sweet voice echoed in Kui Yi's ear without warning:

"It's all for Miss Jin. Everything is for Miss Jin."

The sweet voice continuously reverberated in Kui Yi's mind, seemingly twisting something deep inside him completely.

After a few seconds, Kui Yi's scattered and confused gaze strengthened once more.

"Indeed, it's all for that master. Everything is for Miss Jin."

Shaking off the blue liquid beginning to freeze on him, Kui Yi wielded his dual blades and fiercely pursued Lotcar, intending to intercept it before it charged into the ranks.

However, to speed up the journey, Yang Yu augmented Lotcar's speed substantially, making it hard for Kui Yi, who was a beat slower, to catch up to Lotcar.

Holding hands to ensure the reliability of the barrier, the Luo Ze Mage constructing the barrier was unable to attack in this state.

To be safe, Changliu River left some personnel with the mages and priests remaining in place to ensure their safety.

Unfortunately, Lotcar's figure was too massive and uncontrolled—it was like an unstoppable vehicle crashing into the crowd.

Due to the race traits of the Silver Teeth Clan, on the battlefield, the Silver Teeth Clan is considered fast-moving vehicles, taking action infrequently.

This caused many to grossly underestimate the power contained within Lotcar.

Several Luo Ze Elites attempting to intercept were effortlessly knocked aside by Lotcar.

Several mages on standby on the side chant magic and construct defense magic.

By releasing Frost Ice Arrows to knock back incoming soldiers, Bai Jin executed a [Magic Counter], completely nullifying the magic by the Luo Ze Elites.

Lotcar, enduring Luo Ze Elites' attacks, plunged into the mages' group and wreaked havoc.

Iyas's role shifted to healing Lotcar beneath.

Luo Ze Elites used weapons to carve long wounds on Lotcar, but in the next instant, under Iyas's healing, Lotcar's wounds restored completely.

Someone attempted to jump and prioritize resolving Bai Jin and Iyas atop Lotcar, but was kicked far away by Lotcar's hind legs.

Dodging the kicked Luo Ze Elite, Kui Yi swung dual blades to cut through Bai Jin's projected Frost Ice Arrows.

Due to Lotcar's chaos, the thick light-blue barrier began to crumble from above; if not stopped, allowing the mage to construct the stable barrier, they would eventually escape.

This would disappoint Miss Jin.

However, the battlefield never changes just because of some obsession harbored.

A Light Arrow coursed across the battlefield; Kui Yi tried to block this arrow with dual blades but it suddenly vanished before his eyes, appearing at his chest the next moment.

Shifting his body, Kui Yi attempted to avoid this arrow with a minimal angle; regrettably, his effort backfired, the golden arrow piercing his chest and brushing past his heart, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood from Kui Yi's mouth.

Ensured the surroundings were safe, Bai Jin concentrated, projecting several Frost Ice Arrows consecutively towards Kui Yi.

Kui Yi crossed the sword blades to form a cross, barely blocking Bai Jin's Frost Ice Arrows, but he no longer had the strength to attack Bai Jin and them, kneeling on one knee, the bright red blood flowing from his chest staining the white snow.

Just a few more attacks and Kui Yi would meet his end.

However, what puzzled everyone is Bai Jin and the others didn't continue the pursuit.

On the other side, Yang Yu, utilizing the boost from [True Word Blessing], unleashed a suffocating barrage of attacks.

Some Luo Ze Elites wanted to assist Changliu River but couldn't figure out where to start. Moreover, Bai Jin and Iyas had a higher priority for them; aiding Changliu River might have reversed priorities.

In this short period, due to a loss of half his vision, Changliu River completely became a punching bag for Yang Yu's unilateral assault, even releasing skills became extremely difficult.

"Just a mere season, to be suppressed here.

I should have spared no cost at that time to completely eliminate him at Qinghe Volcano."

Regret filled Changliu River's heart, but now there's no chance to escape from Yang Yu's grasp as the blood bar changed from green to yellow, from yellow to orange, from orange to red.

Yang Yu only needed a few more strikes to bury Changliu River in this land.

Yet...

Yang Yu thrust a sword into Changliu River's chest; Changliu River used the armor's skill to cancel Yang Yu's attack, staggering backwards, leaving a trail of blood footprints, kneeling on the ground.

Yang Yu launched a final charge towards him.

Just as the longsword was about to pierce Changliu River's forehead, Yang Yu's blade stopped abruptly before Changliu River's forehead.
