Chapter 782: 774. A Shocking Demon Race_2 Gong Cao was crushed into a pile of mush in the palm of the Titan Giant Ape.
"Gong Cao!"
Wen Venerable shouted in disbelief at the scene unfolding before him.
Next, the Titan Giant Ape spoke in human tongue and punched towards Wen Venerable, "I haven’t even used my full strength, and he’s already down!"
This time, Wen Venerable didn’t intend to confront the Titan Giant Ape head-on.
Because the methods of the Demon Race exceeded his imagination.
In the past, the Demon Race could grow larger or smaller.
But they never transformed into flowers, grass, or fish.
Besides, where did this Giant Ape come from?
During the Demon Realm war, it had never been seen.
"Retreat!"
The more he thought, the more panicked he became, and Wen Venerable immediately issued the order to retreat.
At that moment, Huaikong leaped into the air, transforming into a massive Taotie.
In the sky, he spoke in human tongue, roaring loudly, "Kill!"
His voice was like thunder, crashing to the ground.
Two million Demons immediately charged forward like mad, relentlessly pursuing.
And on the Hundred Sects Alliance’s side, with Wen Venerable’s retreat, the frontline soldiers quickly fell into disarray. As they attempted to retreat, they were engulfed by the Demons chasing from behind.
Thus, the Demon Race pursued for fifty miles, driving the Hundred Sects Alliance back into the waters of Bright Mirror Lake.
In the first battle, a great victory was achieved!
The Demon Race lost only two to three hundred thousand.
But within this brief period, the Hundred Sects Alliance left behind a million corpses in the Wangchuan Mountain Range.
Including one Golden Level Chief!
The people at Bright Mirror Lake were dumbfounded to see the sudden retreat of the Hundred Sects Alliance.
"Weren’t they going to crusade against the Immortal Sect?"
"Yeah, why did they retreat?"
"Are you stupid? Can’t you see a lot of people are missing?"
"No way, are they already in a dire state at the start? Is the Immortal Sect that strong?"
Amidst the discussions at Bright Mirror Lake, Wen Venerable set up camp again by the lake, observing how the morale of the two million people had plummeted to an extreme.
Afterward, when discussing the Demons’ sudden appearance in the Wangchuan Mountain Range, everyone was apprehensive.
The reality of Demons transforming into flowers, grass, and fish was terrifying upon reflection.
The Demon Race seemed no longer like the Demons they once knew.
...
Immortal Sect.
When Chen Xie received the battle report back from Zi Ran, he immediately delivered it to Wen Ping.
"Sect Leader, the first battle was a great victory!"
Chen Xie was somewhat excited.
The invincible Hundred Sects Alliance had now suffered such a significant loss.
Even he was shocked by the methods of the Demon Race.
It was at this moment that he realized the Demon Race had long surpassed the Hundred Sects Alliance in strength.
Wen Ping glanced at the elated Chen Xie and cautioned, "Don’t be too eager to rejoice. If the Hundred Sects Alliance were only so, they wouldn’t have been able to dethrone the Demon Race as the rulers of Heaven and Earth Lake. Have your people keep an eye on the Hundred Sects Alliance’s movements. This time we caught them off guard, but next time it might not be so easy."
Chen Xie quickly stifled his smile and said, "Understood."
After handing the hastily written battle report to Wen Ping, Chen Xie exited Tingyu Pavilion.
Wen Ping glanced at the battle report for a moment before deciding to leave the Immortal Sect to check out the Wangchuan Mountain Range.
The Hundred Sects Alliance, having suffered such a loss, certainly wouldn’t let it rest.
Similarly, the forces behind them, like Zhentian Tower, wouldn’t stand idle.
He dared to underestimate the Hundred Sects Alliance, but not Zhentian Tower.
Because compared to Zhentian Tower, the Immortal Sect was not strong enough yet.
...
Meanwhile, as Wen Venerable was resting by Bright Mirror Lake, he had already ordered the second wave of the coalition to head to East Lake.
The second wave of the Hundred Sects Alliance coalition, though not numbering three million, was still substantial, with a force between one and two million.
