Chapter 1350 - 410: Battle Between the Human Clan and Demon Clan
For so many years, Luo Qianche and her father had always been proud of bearing the Water God Bloodline and possessing the Divine Power to summon the Water Clan.
But after seeing what happened tonight, Luo Qianche finally realized that Ye Lingyue’s Divine Talent was even stronger than hers.
Luo Qianche couldn’t even see Ye Lingyue draw any Array; in almost the blink of an eye, she had "summoned" so many beasts.
Not only that, the other party could actually control different Beast Clan creatures in such astonishing numbers and varieties—this kind of ability was something even she didn’t have.
How could Luo Qianche know that Ye Lingyue didn’t need to bother with drawing or chanting at all; she only needed to move her spiritual power, and could whoosh—drag out all the "little brothers" in Hong Meng Heaven.
"You’ll soon understand that it’s not only the Water God Bloodline that has that kind of talent. Listen up, everyone. What we’re facing is a blood battle—one misstep and you could die. But if we win, we’ll save the lives of countless people."
It was also Ye Lingyue’s first time facing an enemy force of this scale.
Her voice wasn’t rousing, but there was a soul-seizing Magic Power in her gaze. Whether Three-legged Birdman Warriors or Bloodthirsty Snake Bees, all of them were fired up.
Even Luo Qianche and Jiang Ce, who had held a hostile attitude toward Ye Lingyue earlier, unknowingly followed her command.
Bloodthirsty Snake Bees excel at night raids; they swarmed together and launched the first wave of attacks against those of the Demon Clan.
The Three-legged Birdman were good at aerial assaults; they took advantage of flight, picking off stragglers and plugging gaps, shooting a Slaughter God Arrow that brought instant death to those demons who stubbornly resisted.
Meanwhile, under cover of night, Ye Lingyue darted toward Luo Qian’s residence.
The Dark night was silent; while Ye Lingyue was rousing the beasts, Di Shen and the others also slipped into the City Lord’s Mansion, guided in secret by the Water Clan.
This was a head-on clash between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan; no one knew what the outcome would be.
Inside the room, Shadow Concubine, who was in the middle of Cultivation, twitched her ears slightly.
She seemed to hear some strange sound carried in the wind.
It sounded like a drum—coming from far away, drifting closer bit by bit.
How could there be drums in the City Lord’s Mansion? Shadow Concubine tilted her head to listen.
The drumbeat was very monotonous, but listening closely, it was somewhat unusual. Shadow Concubine’s expression changed.
"Someone!"
"Lord Shadow Concubine, what are your orders?"
Hong Mingyue, who lived right next door to Shadow Concubine, came in when she heard the call.
"Where are the demon soldiers at the door?"
Shadow Concubine felt a sudden, inexplicable irritability in her heart.
The drumbeat seemed to have disappeared again.
"Still where they were."
Hong Mingyue glanced outside; those demon soldiers were all standing there like javelins, motionless.
Motionless?
Shadow Concubine and Hong Mingyue both sensed something was wrong. Hong Mingyue walked up to one of the demon soldiers and patted his shoulder.
The demon soldier’s body stiffly toppled to the ground, an arrow stuck in his chest.
"Enemy attack!"
Hong Mingyue was on high alert, and just then, from some unknown corner, several cold arrows suddenly shot out.
The frigid arrow wind grazed past; Hong Mingyue instantly transformed, using the Ghost Valley Moth’s flight ability to narrowly dodge several arrows in a thrilling escape.
Even so, Hong Mingyue broke out in a cold sweat.
This was the first time she’d encountered such an ambush since fusing with the Ghost Valley Moth.
Boom—
Those few arrows struck the ground dead-on, and the blue stone tiles paving the floor of the City Lord’s Mansion abruptly exploded.
The thunderous sound made Hong Mingyue and Shadow Concubine’s hearts jolt at the same time.
What kind of arrows were these, with such terrifying power.
Just when Hong Mingyue thought she had shaken off the ambush, from the trees, from the corners, from the Dark, swarms of Bloodthirsty Snake Bees rushed in to kill. They were like blood-sucking leeches—vicious, savage, and so numerous that Hong Mingyue had no mind left to care about Shadow Concubine.
"Come out, you coward who only hides in the shadows."
Shadow Concubine swept a look around. The thick stench of blood in the air and the demon soldiers all slain to the last enraged her to the extreme.
"The one hiding in the shadows should be you."
Ye Lingyue walked out from the darkness.
"You are that Dancer?" Shadow Concubine showed a strange look when she saw Ye Lingyue.
"Ye Lingyue, it’s you!"
Hong Mingyue, tangled up by the Bloodthirsty Snake Bees and in utter disarray, saw Ye Lingyue and momentarily lost focus, getting savagely stung by one of the Bloodthirsty Snake Bees.
"You’re the City Lord of Huangquan City, Ye Lingyue?"
Shadow Concubine had clearly heard that this Ye Lingyue was a black-faced, plain-looking woman; she simply couldn’t connect that image with the great beauty in front of her whose looks were almost on par with Guangzi’s.
"A man’s name, a tree’s shadow—yes, I am Ye Lingyue. But you, hiding all this time inside Luo Qian’s body, not even daring to show your true face—so the so-called Sky Demon from the Demon World is just like this."
Ye Lingyue said mockingly.
Looking at Ye Lingyue, then at the City Lord’s Mansion that had been washed in blood in the blink of an eye, both Shadow Concubine and Hong Mingyue understood that they had been completely and utterly fooled by Ye Lingyue.
Hong Mingyue’s face alternated between red and white, seething with rage. She had thought herself clever, yet her schemes had been turned back on her by Ye Lingyue again and again.
Once like this, twice like this—this Ye Lingyue was simply her destined nemesis, the bane of Hong Mingyue’s existence.
"Human, you do have some skills. But did you really think that these little lackeys of yours can handle me?"
Shadow Concubine finished speaking and suddenly began to chant, using Luo Qian’s Summoning Power to activate an Array.
"In my name, believers of the Water God, answer the summon."
Seeing that Ye Lingyue commanded so many Beast Soldiers, Shadow Concubine didn’t dare be careless; she resolved to summon a mighty Water Army.
When Ye Lingyue saw Shadow Concubine preparing to summon the Water Army, she grew more cautious.
The Merfolk King was Luo Qian’s strongest Combat Power, but even without the Merfolk King, Luo Qian could still summon other Water Army troops. Their numbers were staggering; against Ye Lingyue’s beasts, they might not be at any disadvantage.
Yet after the Array was formed, the expected Water Army did not appear.
"What’s going on?"
Shadow Concubine hadn’t expected that not a single Water Army troop would show up.
"Are you looking for them?"
Just then, a voice rang out, laced with mockery and a hint of coldness.
Di Shen barged in, leading a host of Water Clan.
Seeing the Water Army, Shadow Concubine flew into a rage.
"How dare you. Are you rebelling? How dare you defy the Water God’s command!"
"You are not of the Water God Bloodline at all. Water Clan, hear my order—the City Lord has been possessed by a Demoness. I, Luo Qianche, in the name of the sole heir of the Water God Bloodline, command you: kill the demon and defend Shui City!"
Luo Qianche and Jiang Ce and the others walked out.
As she spoke, the power of the Merfolk Elixir within her body erupted. Sensing that Merfolk Elixir power, the Water Clan hesitated no longer and all took their stand on Luo Qianche’s side.
"Tsk tsk, looks like this time I, Shadow Concubine, really capsized in the gutter and let you lot catch me in the act."
Facing such a dire situation, Shadow Concubine not only showed no panic, she actually revealed a bizarre smile.
