The "Chaos True Demons" were so excited that they almost forgot their mission.
A voice of immense authority from a certain senior, transmitted through the "Statue of Merit," boomed out.
"Kill the enemy!"
Few words spoken, great presence!
With this declaration, heaven and earth trembled as if a heavenly decree had been shattered.
Not only were the seventy-two Chaos True Demons startled, but even the attacking Daoist Mao Tu and Daoist Si She couldn't help but narrow their eyes, their hearts filled with apprehension.
Such powerful aura!
For a moment, they actually entertained the thought of "temporarily avoiding the sharp edge."
They hadn't expected such a powerful guardian within "Mu Wang City."
Daoist Mao Tu and Daoist Si She exchanged glances, seeing caution and the intent to retreat in each other's eyes.
If it really comes to it, let's just withdraw!
At this moment, "Wo Long Tian Mo" stood up and shouted to the surrounding Chaos Heavenly Demons.
"Everyone, for Father's great cause, let the battle commence!"
"Feng Chu Tian Mo" was not to be outdone. She also stepped forward and yelled loudly.
"Sisters, charge!"
The Chaos Heavenly Demons all rolled their eyes.
What the heck? We're all 24k pure men, and you're calling us "sisters"? You're insulting us!
Despite their internal grumbling, the Chaos Heavenly Demons dared not slack off. "Hao Ren Dad" had already urged them, and if they didn't act soon, they would face severe consequences if "Hao Ren Dad" was displeased.
For "Hao Ren Dad," fight!
Roar, roar, roar!
With roars of fury, the Chaos True Demons transformed, each activating their "True Demon Dharma Manifestations."
Golden light of merit erupted and shone, while fierce demonic energy surged to the heavens.
Thirty-odd-zhang tall True Demon Dharma Manifestations stood tall between heaven and earth.
Though these Dharma Manifestations were not incredibly tall, their bodies were incomparably solid, imbued with the "True Demon Origin Power" and "Merit Power."
The powerful aura they displayed at this moment made Daoist Mao Tu and Daoist Si She's hearts pound with fear.
Holy crap!
So strong!
So impressive!
Daoist Mao Tu and Daoist Si She, seasoned veterans, possessed a far greater sense of danger than ordinary people.
Upon seeing the seventy-two Chaos True Demons condense their Chaos True Demon Dharma Manifestations, they turned and fled without a word.
Alas, it was all too late.
The seventy-two Chaos True Demon Dharma Manifestations divided into two groups.
One group, led by "Wo Long Chaos True Demon," surrounded the "Mao Tu Dharma Manifestation."
The other group, led by "Feng Chu Chaos True Demon," surrounded the "Si She Dharma Manifestation."
Immediately, a world-shattering battle erupted.
It must be said that Daoist Mao Tu and Daoist Si She were indeed quite formidable.
Under the siege of the Chaos True Demons, they held out for a full three seconds.
Three long seconds!
Then...
The "Mao Tu Dharma Manifestation" and "Si She Dharma Manifestation" were shattered almost simultaneously.
"Daoist Mao Tu" perished, and all of his "Mao Tu Dao Soldiers" were annihilated.
The "Si She Dharma Manifestation" was destroyed, and all of his "Si She Dao Soldiers" were wiped out.
The crisis of "Mu Wang City" was successfully resolved.
The relieved citizens rejoiced with excitement.
"The Protector Lords are victorious!"
"The Protector Lords are invincible!"
"The Protector Lords are awesome!"
...
Cheers echoed through the sky above "Mu Wang City," lingering for a long time.
Even Princess Yin Lihua sincerely bowed to the seventy-two Chaos True Demons.
"Your life-saving grace is unforgettable! On behalf of all the soldiers and citizens of Mu Wang City, I thank you, esteemed Protector Lords!"
The seventy-two Chaos True Demons were ecstatic.
This feeling of being admired and thanked by thousands was truly wonderful!
Previously, as villains, everyone feared them, trembled before them, or kept their distance. Who would have genuinely loved them?
Now, this feeling of being adored by the masses was so novel and marvelous!
It made the seventy-two Chaos True Demons utterly engrossed, unable to extricate themselves!
However, these fellows were accustomed to being proud. Despite their hearts roaring with joy like pigs, they maintained a cool and detached demeanor.
Meanwhile, a certain senior was heartbroken.
Oh dear!
The cost of protecting "Mu Wang City" this time was too great!
A full 5,000 points of "Merit Power"!
Their recent earnings were all spent in one go.
As "Guardians of the Di Hua Divine Cult," the seventy-two Chaos True Demons could not only use "illusions" but also expend "Merit Power" to forcibly activate a small portion of their "Origin Power."
This move, though excellent and powerful, consumed an exorbitant amount of "Merit Power"!
The seventy-two Chaos True Demons had only fought for three seconds, yet they had depleted 5,000 points of "Merit Power."
The consumption was too high; it was like a "bottomless pit"!
Hao Ren made up his mind that unless it was an extremely urgent situation, he would never use this move again; it was too expensive to burn!
News of the "Great Victory at Mu Wang City" spread, bringing joy to some and sorrow to others.
The "Rebel Army Faction," led by Liu Xiuer, was naturally overjoyed.
They were surprised by Mu Wang City's outstanding performance, not only repelling the "Imperial Army's" assault but even killing Daoist Mao Tu and Daoist Si She. How impressive!
At the same time, Liu Xiuer couldn't help but feel a pang of fear.
It was too dangerous!
If not for the protection of his Master and the might of the seventy-two guardians of the "Di Hua Divine Cult," Mu Wang City would not only have failed to kill Daoist Mao Tu and Daoist Si She, but it would have been breached in minutes.
Once the city fell, the "Rebel Army's" rear would be exposed, their morale would waver, and they would be unable to continue.
Even the "Heze Important Town" would not be defensible.
Of course, this was not what Liu Xiuer worried about the most. His greatest concern was the safety of Princess Yin Lihua and all the citizens of the city.
If the city were breached, Princess Yin Lihua and the citizens would all suffer.
Given the conduct of the "Great Xin Dynasty," the fate of Princess Yin Lihua and the citizens would be extremely tragic, a fate worse than death.
At this thought, Liu Xiuer shivered uncontrollably.
He absolutely could not bear such consequences!
Liu Xiuer made a firm resolution in his heart: he would protect Princess Yin Lihua and the citizens who followed the "Rebel Army" at all costs, ensuring they never faced any danger again.
Meanwhile, the "Imperial Army Faction" was consumed by grief and indignation.
"Impossible! I don't believe it. Mao Tu and Si She were the best at rapid assaults, and their cultivation was not weak. How could they have been killed?"
