Chapter 209: The Defeat of the Demon Army
The battle within Spirit City shifted dramatically at this moment.
With the appearance of many powerful individuals from the Spirit Hall, the soul masters in the city seemed to find their backbone. Moreover, after the nine-headed great demons were intercepted by numerous strong figures from the Spirit Hall and Sword Douluo, the pressure on the defenders decreased sharply. They quickly reorganized and launched a counterattack.
Although the demons were overwhelmingly powerful, with even the weakest Hellhounds possessing the cultivation of a Soul Elder, they couldn't withstand the sheer number of soul masters in Spirit City. The soul masters outnumbered the demons by two or three times, making up for their slightly weaker average strength.
Before long, the human soul masters in Spirit City seized the initiative.
The demons began to retreat step by step.
At the same time, many auxiliary soul masters at the Contra level freed up their hands to apply various buffs to the Title Douluo level fighters battling the great demons. Additionally, they bombarded the great demons with all sorts of debuffs.
Freezing, burning, petrification, slowing effects, and more created enough trouble for the great demons, slowing their reaction times.
Crack.
The great demon battling Sword Douluo suddenly found himself frozen in an instant.
However, in the next moment, the purple flames on his body melted the ice, but Sword Douluo, riding the sword light, had already reached him. In his haste, the great demon could only use his arm to block.
Rip!
Purple blood splattered as a huge arm was severed.
A howl of pain erupted from the great demon as he began to retreat.
As he retreated, he continuously regenerated his injured body, forming two complete arms in an instant.
Sword Douluo frowned at the great demon. "Such strong regeneration abilities, but your energy has decreased significantly."
"This proves that you are not invincible."
With that, Sword Douluo wielded the Seven Kill Sword and attacked again, moving mountains and filling seas!
As his eighth spirit ring lit up, terrifying sword energy swept towards the great demon.
On the other side.
Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted sharply, "Old Ghost, Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"
As soon as Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice fell, Ghost Douluo's figure floated behind Chrysanthemum Douluo like a ghost.
The two of them, back-to-back, looked extremely ambiguous.
But no one dared to underestimate them.
"Roar!"
A sense of foreboding arose in the heart of the great demon facing them. With an angry roar, purple light gathered in his mouth.
He believed that if given one more second, he could complete the charge, and this attack would be powerful enough to instantly turn the two into ashes.
"Polar Still Domain!"
A voice that was neither masculine nor feminine suddenly echoed. Ripples of strange energy spread from Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo at high speed, enveloping the great demon.
At this moment, wind, clouds, dust, time, and space seemed to stand still.
Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and the great demon remained in their previous positions, motionless.
"Ghost Leopard, strike now! We can't hold this for long!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo urgently communicated to Ghost Leopard Douluo, who was lurking and waiting for the right moment.
In fact, Ghost Leopard Douluo had already made his move.
Enhanced by the auxiliary soul masters in Spirit City, Ghost Leopard Douluo's cultivation had improved significantly. His attacks, speed, and strength were more ferocious, moving like a shadow as he attacked the great demon from behind.
In an instant, he reached the great demon's broad back, his eighth spirit ring glowing as his soul power formed a sharp claw, stabbing fiercely into the demon's back.
Pssh!
Purple blood spurted from the wound.
Before Ghost Leopard Douluo could exert more force, Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice echoed in his mind, "Ghost Leopard, retreat now!"
Without hesitation, Ghost Leopard Douluo immediately withdrew.
### Chapter 210: The Defeat of the Demon Army
At that moment, the great demon's figure broke free from the constraints of the Polar Still Domain. Its massive head twisted eerily by 180 degrees to look at Ghost Leopard Douluo, and then the purple light in its mouth burst forth.
Swish!
Under the gazes of countless onlookers, the dazzling purple light pierced through Ghost Leopard Douluo's body.
With a muffled groan, Ghost Leopard Douluo fell straight down.
"Ghost Leopard!" Ghost Douluo exclaimed in shock.
"Withered chrysanthemums, wounds on the ground, flowers falling, breaking one's heart."
"Kill!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes turned red, unleashing his strongest soul skill in an instant.
Golden light almost illuminated the entire Spirit City.
Meanwhile, Azure Phoenix Douluo, Radiant Wing Douluo, Lion Douluo, and others were engaged in intense battles with their respective opponents, locked in a stalemate.
Golden Crocodile Douluo, however, showcased his extraordinary strength. With the power of his martial soul, he clashed head-on with the great demon.
Every punch landed solidly, and especially after activating his true martial soul form, his thick tail lashed at the great demon, tearing its skin and flesh, forcing it to retreat step by step.
With Golden Crocodile Douluo and Sword Douluo's advantages, it was clear that the victory would ultimately belong to Spirit Hall.
Moreover, the tens of thousands of soul masters in Spirit City were gradually expanding their advantage. Once they were free, even the great demons would have to think twice.
After all, even ants can bite an elephant to death if there are enough of them.
"This situation is very unfavorable for me."
In mid-air, the demon lord Alba felt a sense of panic.
Once the nine-headed great demons were defeated, the balance of victory would tilt towards the humans.
"Hmph, you're distracted while fighting me?"
Suddenly, Qian Daoliu seized the opportunity. The six-winged angel's shadow behind him flapped its wings fiercely, and he turned into a golden stream of light, charging towards Alba. The holy sword in his hand, condensed from angelic divine power, thrust out fiercely.
This sword was meant to pierce Alba's chest.
Alba, with his vast battle experience, reacted in time. There was no time to use the purple-gold greatsword to block or attack Qian Daoliu; the greatsword swung back like a shield in front of his chest.
However, as Qian Daoliu approached the greatsword, his figure twisted at a 90-degree angle, suddenly rising up to target Alba's head instead.
"Despicable human, so cunning."
Alba was furious.
Previously, he had kept Qian Daoliu at a safe distance using the unique features of his purple-gold greatsword. But now, due to a moment of distraction, Qian Daoliu had closed in.
He had to admit that Qian Daoliu's speed was indeed superior.
Despite his anger, Alba couldn't ignore the attack of a peer. He still managed to dodge.
However, the next moment, a burning pain erupted on his forehead.
Qian Daoliu had still managed to wound him.
"Ah, you dare injure me, unforgivable!"
Alba was enraged, and from his back, flame wings erupted, shooting out thousands of purple-black fireballs, heading straight for Qian Daoliu.
Strangely, these attacks were lock-on, seemingly determined to hit Qian Daoliu.
Angel Domain!
Qian Daoliu decided not to dodge anymore, unleashing thousands of golden lights from his body.
Boom, boom, boom.
The purple-black fireballs exploded within the domain.
"Did you think I was afraid of you?"
A fierce glint flashed in Alba's eyes. His entire body burst into purple-black flames, and he charged into the domain with his purple-gold greatsword.
In an instant, their figures became indistinct.
Moments later, the golden domain vanished.
Qian Daoliu and Alba reappeared in the eyes of everyone.
However, Qian Daoliu's six-winged angel shadow had disappeared, and he was covered in blood.
Alba wasn't much better off. One of his flaming wings had been severed, the horns on his forehead were broken, and his left arm was severed, without using energy to regenerate.
The battle was clear; both sides were severely injured with no decisive victory.
But for Alba, failing to kill this human in this desperate fight meant failure.
The reason was simple: the demon army in Spirit City was already defeated and in disarray.
"It seems I underestimated this world. I should leave and reconsider my strategy."
A trace of pain flashed in Alba's eyes.
If he had known the strength of this world's people, he wouldn't have been so reckless. It would have been better to conquer some smaller cities first before attacking here.
But there was no place to buy regret medicine.
"This demon lord is trying to escape! Stop him! If he escapes, who knows what kind of devastation he'll bring to the Douluo Continent!"
Qian Daoliu, keenly aware of Alba's intentions, hurriedly alerted everyone.
Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo struck a heavy blow to the great demon in front of him, forcing it back, and then prepared to attack Alba.
Sword Douluo, too, couldn't afford to stay in his favorable position. He abandoned the heavily wounded and barely recovering great demon before him and aimed to attack Alba from another direction.
"Roar!"
Alba let out a furious roar, conveying his thoughts to the demons: stop these hateful humans at all costs and create an opportunity for him to escape.
The nine great demons, receiving the command, quickly gathered together, forming a straight line in front of Alba to protect him.
More strangely, each demon's tail wrapped around the waist of the demon next to it, creating a linked chain.
"Do you think you can protect him this way?"
Sword Douluo snorted coldly and swung the Seven Kill Sword, slashing a terrifying sword energy at one of the great demons.
Normally, any great demon facing this strike would be scarred, but this time it was different. The great demon blocked Sword Douluo's attack without a scratch.
Sword Douluo couldn't even break through its defense.
"How is this possible?"
A look of surprise appeared on the faces of Sword Douluo and the other strong figures in Spirit City.
"Let me try."
Golden Crocodile Douluo, refusing to believe it, swung his massive crocodile tail.
Boom!
With a loud noise, Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression changed. A powerful backlash forced him back several steps, but the great demon remained unmoved.
"How did they become so much stronger?"
He stared in disbelief.
The combined strength of the demons now felt like facing the High Priest.
In reality, the humans didn't know this was a combined skill of the great demons, allowing them to absorb each other's power to block attacks. The energy conversion was fast and smooth.
"Hehehe, you can play with these humans for a while!"
At this moment, Alba felt his strength recovering. He chose to heal his severed wings and then flapped them, fleeing at lightning speed.
"Damn it!"
Qian Daoliu gritted his teeth and shouted, "Chase him!"
"Yes!"
Azure Phoenix Douluo and Radiant Wing Douluo responded immediately, but before they could move, the nine great demons acted first. A vast snake-like body formed beneath them, appearing as a nine-headed monster serpent, with each great demon serving as one of the heads.
With this tail, they could move flexibly, even in the air.
With a light tap in the void, they blocked Azure Phoenix Douluo and Radiant Wing Douluo. Two great demons attacked, forcing them back hundreds of meters.
Their current power was unimaginable.
Qin Xiao thought hard for a while and remembered the weakness of these combined attacks. "Their strength is shared, concentrating on one demon at a time, giving the illusion of increased power.
"Don't attack one by one; strike together, and they won't be able to defend. Or cut off their tails to break their connection and counter their offensive."
At this moment, Qin Xiao's voice echoed over Spirit City.
He recalled that the demons had used this combat method in the Douluo Continent before.
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo, Bibi Dong, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and about ten other Spirit Hall Title Douluo brightened up and took action.
Meanwhile, Qian Daoliu secretly communicated with Qin Xiao.
"Qin Xiao, act now. Only you can catch Alba. Don't let him escape, and Spirit Hall will greatly reward you."
"Hehe, High Priest, you're too serious. Rewards don't matter. I just enjoy helping others."
Qin Xiao replied with a smile and disappeared like a ghost.
In fact, even without Qian Daoliu's words, he would have acted. Alba's intentions were malicious, and Qin Xiao didn't believe there wasn't a mastermind behind it.
He needed to find the person behind Alba.
"Can I believe this guy?" Qian Daoliu thought skeptically.
He believed Qin Xiao was cunning and wouldn't act without promise of rewards.
Elsewhere.
Three hundred miles from Spirit City, Alba glanced back twice, seeing no one pursuing, and sighed with relief. "No one's coming, I think. I'll rest for a bit."
Muttering, he descended into a dense forest.
However.
Before he could fully relax, his heart tensed again.
Not far away, a young man in purple clothes leaned against a tree, staring at him.
