Chapter 784: 776, Demon Power Shield "Rear demon troops, hear the order, activate the Demon Pills!"
Huaikong immediately shouted loudly.
The moment Huaikong’s voice fell, the originally scattered rear demon troops began to gather once again.
After all, the Demon Emperor is the strongest of the Demon Race.
With the Demon Emperor present, they have confidence.
After the gathering of millions of demons, the Demon Pills within their bodies immediately began to activate, and the surging demon qi instantly rippled around them. Witnessing this scene, the high-ranking members of the Hundred Sects Alliance glanced at each other, utterly puzzled.
"What’s going on?"
"Demon Pill?"
"What is a Demon Pill?"
Amidst these discussions, the Demon-slaying Crossbows once again tightened their bowstrings.
One hundred thousand Demon-Slaying Arrows were loaded within a dozen breaths, then aimed at the rear of the demon troops under the confident gaze of the Hundred Sects Alliance soldiers.
The rain of arrows, dense enough to cover the sky, rushed over in an instant, and the Hundred Sects Alliance soldiers seemed to once again envision the demise of the demon horde.
At this moment, Huaikong nervously watched Wen Ping, waiting for Wen Ping’s next command.
"Raise the demon power!"
Just as the last word left Huaikong’s mouth, he immediately shouted towards the demon race, "Rear demon troops, raise the demon power!"
Words fell!
Countless demons’ surging demon qi around them rose into the sky like umbrellas. Though a single piece of demon qi is indeed insignificant, especially for the Demon Race members who are still unrefined in their use of demon power, this bit of demon power is not yet usable against enemies.
But at the moment when the demon power of tens of thousands of demons rose, sheets of golden demon power began to converge, then stood like a shield over the heads of the demon horde. At that moment, the rain of Demon-Slaying Arrows descended.
Swish!
Tens of thousands of arrows fell simultaneously, scaring many demons below to close their eyes.
Yet a few moments later, they slowly opened their eyes, finding themselves unharmed, and the surrounding demons were unharmed too.
A glance overhead, and the demons were in uproar.
The Demon-Slaying Arrows, which could penetrate their demon bodies before, were now all blocked by their demon power mid-air.
It now truly looked like a black cloud floating above the heads of the demons.
"The Demon Race will surely win!"
"The Demon Race will surely win!"
In the next second, the demons shouted in unison, their morale instantly soared.
The Hundred Sects Alliance troops, witnessing this scene, were dumbfounded once more.
Even Wen Venerable, who was fighting Taishan, couldn’t help but pause, staring at this scene.
None could comprehend what the layer of golden light shield was.
"Fire again!"
The Silver Level Chief commanding the Demon-slaying Crossbows on the Hundred Sects Alliance side was flustered.
Ordered the coalition to reload the Demon-Slaying Arrows once again.
A dozen breaths later, a hundred thousand Demon-Slaying Arrows were loaded once more.
"Fire!"
Upon command, a hundred thousand Demon-Slaying Arrows were once again shot towards the demon horde.
Yet still, as before, when the arrows hit the shield formed by the demon power, they could not advance any further.
The high-ranking members of the Hundred Sects Alliance were completely panicked this time.
"What’s the matter?"
"What is blocking the Demon-Slaying Arrows?"
Taishan, fighting Wen Venerable from afar, burst into laughter, "Hundred Sects Alliance, did you truly think our Demon Race is the same as before? This is demon power, demon power! Your ignorance is laughable to me."
After Taishan’s taunt, the Demon Race erupted again.
"The Demon Race will surely win!"
"The Demon Race will surely win!"
With the tide-like sound, the Hundred Sects Alliance troops hurriedly reloaded the Demon-Slaying Arrows once more.
However, this was merely a futile effort.
The third volley, the fourth volley, were still ineffective.
And by the fourth time, they were left with only one Demon-Slaying Arrow in hand.
Witnessing this scene, Huaikong chuckled, "Sect Leader, so demon power can be used like this."
Wen Ping said, "Demon power is different from vein qi; demon power itself is a weapon. Once you learn to wield it, it can rival our Human Race’s Vein Technique. As your cultivation years increase, demon power will grow stronger; you must have sensed this."
