In just three minutes, ten demon marshals had been killed by Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu.
Wan Lei was like a gust of wind, appearing behind a demon marshal and smashing his skull with his hammer. The demon marshal cried out in pain, but before he could escape, his head was blown apart by a laser from the sky.
Immediately after, Wan Lei disappeared again and reappeared in the enemy ranks, continuing his fierce assault.
He spotted an injured enemy and immediately pursued. The demon marshal, seeing a afterimage charging towards him, was struck with terror and turned to flee.
Behind him was a familiar friend, Marshal Qian Niao.
The demon marshal immediately dodged past Qian Niao, sighing with relief, thinking that the Grim Reaper behind him would no longer pursue him and would instead engage Qian Niao in a fight.
Qian Niao saw Wan Lei's afterimage charging at him. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to act.
After all, that person was his comrade, and no matter how much he disliked him, he couldn't betray his teammate.
But Wan Lei was also his friend, so he decided not to go all out. He just needed to stall for a while and let that comrade escape.
Qian Niao swung his long staff at Wan Lei, but he wasn't using his full strength. In Wan Lei's eyes, his movements were slow, as slow as a crawling turtle.
Wan Lei ignored Qian Niao and continued to chase after the demon marshal. He was too fast; before Qian Niao could even finish his swing, Wan Lei had already reached the demon marshal.
Wan Lei decisively killed him. The demon marshal's body plummeted downwards, and as he fell, he cleared Wan Lei's line of sight, allowing Wan Lei to see Qiong Ku not far away.
Qiong Ku was emitting a bright light, his hands constantly forming hand seals, performing some unknown spell.
Wan Lei recalled that Qiong Ku had not participated in the battle earlier and surmised that he was preparing this ultimate move.
Therefore, Wan Lei unhesitatingly charged towards Qiong Ku.
Whatever your killing move is, I'll just interrupt it.
Wan Lei immediately used his Wind Blade Escape Technique to appear behind Qiong Ku and swung his hammer down.
However, Qiong Ku did not dodge. Instead, he took Wan Lei's attack head-on.
Qiong Ku vomited a mouthful of blood, his body staggering, but he did not stop casting his spell.
To be able to continue casting under such a heavy blow demonstrated Qiong Ku's incredible resilience.
"Stop right there!"
Wan Lei roared, summoning multicolored lightning in his hand and striking Qiong Ku's back.
A large hole was blasted into Qiong Ku's back, and he was sent flying, flying directly towards Qian Niao's location.
Qiong Ku crashed heavily into Qian Niao, who immediately caught him. Seeing this, Qiong Shen also rushed over to protect Qiong Ku.
Qiong Ku looked up, a sinister grin appearing on his blood-stained lips.
Then, he finished forming his hand seals. His entire body radiated with light, the radius of which covered seven or eight demon marshals, including Qian Niao and Qiong Shen.
In an instant, the light, along with the seven or eight demon marshals it encompassed, vanished.
Wan Lei was stunned and blurted out,
"You spent all that time casting a spell just to escape?!"
Wan Lei had actually thought Qiong Ku was about to unleash some heaven-defying spell.
In fact, after Wan Lei had instantly killed the two Old Ancestors of the Huo family, Qiong Ku learned that his divine artifact was a Creation-level artifact, and he knew that they were no match for Wan Lei.
From that moment on, Qiong Ku had begun planning his escape.
However, the combat power and speed displayed by Wan Lei were too terrifying. He knew that if he tried to escape on his own, Wan Lei would easily catch up. Thus, he had Qiong Shen lead the others to围攻 Wan Lei, creating conditions for his own escape.
While the other demon marshals were holding off Wan Lei with their lives, Qiong Ku began casting his spell. If he had fled alone, it wouldn't have taken so long, but he wanted to take more people with him.
He also couldn't tell the other demon marshals about his plan to escape, otherwise, they wouldn't have had the resolve to fight to the death.
It was precisely for this reason that they were so scattered, and Qiong Ku only managed to take some of the demon marshals near him.
Including himself, he only successfully took away eight demon marshals.
As for the demon race and the allied forces below, he could no longer care for them.
The reason Qiong Ku chose to flee was that he had a fallback. If he had truly no escape, he wouldn't have been able to leave this universe, and no matter where he fled, he would be caught, making a desperate fight a better option.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Wan Lei still had to deal with the demon marshals left behind by Qiong Ku and had no time to think carefully about these matters.
At this moment, ten demon marshals remained on the battlefield, all of them mid-level or low-level.
When these demon marshals saw Qiong Ku abandoning them and fleeing, they cursed him furiously. However, not a single one of them fled or retreated. Instead, they all charged at Wan Lei.
They knew that with their strength and Wan Lei's speed, they had no chance of survival. These battle-hardened soldiers still chose to stay.
No matter how much they cursed Qiong Ku in their mouths or how much they hated him in their hearts, they still chose to use their lives to stall for time.
Without the restraint of the higher-ranking demon marshals, none of these demon marshals could withstand even three rounds against Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu.
With the help of the Creation God Disk, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu swiftly and decisively killed all the demon marshals.
Below, the demon race and the allied forces, under the fierce counterattack of the Thunder Emperor Alliance, were steadily retreating.
Before they could even reform their ranks to resist the counterattack, they suddenly realized that all their tribulation-crossing experts and demon marshals in the sky were gone.
Now, the allied forces and the demon race were thrown into disarray. Seeing the corpses of demon marshals scattered across the ground, they immediately lost all will to fight and fled madly backwards.
In fact, in terms of numbers, the demon race and the allied forces still had more troops than the allied forces. However, because their high-level combat power had almost all been wiped out, their morale collapsed, and they lost all fighting spirit.
The collapse of morale meant they no longer had the determination to continue fighting, because everyone knew that the tribulation-crossing experts of the enemy above had finished their tasks and they could not withstand the slaughter of tribulation-crossing experts.
The allied forces fled madly, with the allied forces in the rear in pursuit.
Some who were caught up knelt down and surrendered in despair. However, the Dream Alliance Army, which had been attacked for so many days and had finally reached the point of counterattack, had already gone bloodthirsty. Whether they resisted or surrendered, they were killed with a single sword upon sight.
They had lost too many relatives and fellow disciples at the hands of these people, and there was no way they would allow their enemies to survive just by surrendering.
They wanted to kill, to slaughter all these scoundrels.
At this moment, Fang Huifeng arrived before Wan Lei, carrying Fang Guling, and advised,
"Let the enemies surrender. We have already won. Fighting further will only result in unnecessary casualties for our side. It would be better to let these people surrender and give them a chance to atone for their crimes."
