Chapter 1854: More Than One

The army of the Hundred Flowers Alliance stood quietly in formation as they fixed their gazes in front. On the horizon, a dark cloud was rus.h.i.+ng towards them. It gave the army a feeling that they were about to be destroyed.

Naturally, the dark cloud wasn’t a true dark cloud, it was the Heavenly Demon Army. It was an army of 13 million troops. Although the Hundred Flowers Alliance had 5 million, their hearts still shook upon seeing the enemy in front of them.

However, everyone had a resolute look on their eyes. They knew that they couldn’t run away from this battle. If they retreated, their sects would be finished. For the sake of their sect and families, they need to face the army in front of them.

Li Xunhua stood in front. He was able to successfully group everyone. He also told them that Zhao Hai was going to give help. At the same time, Li Xunhua found that they could now be considered people of the Freedom Alliance. This was because these sects have agreed to join the Black Tiger Gang.

As for the cultivators of the Hundred Flowers Valley, Li Xunhua heard that they were prepared to join the Black Tiger Gang and become its disciples.

But if they want to become disciples of the Black Tiger Gang, then they would need to perform. They can’t retreat. If they retreated, they wouldn’t be able to join the Black Tiger Gang.

These disciples knew that their Valley Master intended to surrender to the Heavenly Demons. They didn’t want to surrender to the Heavenly Demon Race. Just like how the Heavenly Demons think that they were n.o.ble beings, the cultivators of the Great Realm of Cultivators also think that they were above the Heavenly Demons. They didn’t want to surrender to the enemy. Therefore, they decided to join the Black Tiger Gang instead of returning to their sect and following the Valley Master in surrendering to the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Naturally, there’s another reason why they wouldn’t surrender to the Heavenly Demon Realm. The Freedom Alliance was heading towards them. If they surrendered to the Heavenly Demons, the Freedom Alliance would clean them up. The best decision they could make right now was joining the Black Tiger Gang.

As the Heavenly Demon Army got closer and closer, they began to blot out the sky. Everyone could feel a chill in the air. But they couldn’t retreat.

Then at this moment, more than a thousand figures flew out of the Heavenly Demon Army. Each one of these figures had overwhelming auras. Although their aura couldn’t overwhelm the army behind them, they still gave out a sharp aura like a sword.

All the cultivators knew that these figures were immortal-stage Heavenly Demons. Their expressions couldn’t help but pale. If the opponent was within their level, then they would have courage to risk their lives in battle. However, facing immortal experts, they couldn’t help but panic.

It wasn’t just Li Xunhua and the others who were panicking. The immortal experts of the Hundred Flowers Alliance were also nervous. There were less than 100 immortal experts on their side. Meanwhile, they were faced with ten times their number. How can they be unafraid?

At this moment, a loud laughter was heard, “Hahaha. It seems like I came in time. I thought I would miss the good show.” A cultivator in black robes appeared. He had a smile on his face as he flew over.

Seeing this person, everyone couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. Everyone knew who this person was. He came over in the past and fought with them. It was Zhao Hai.

Li Xunhua was also relieved when he saw Zhao Hai. He knew that Zhao Hai was coming, but he didn’t know when. He was afraid that Zhao Hai would wait until the sects had exhausted their strength before coming over.

Zhao Hai flew towards Li Xunhua and cupped his fist as he said, “Senior Brother Li, I’m late. I made you worried.”

Li Xunhua looked at Zhao Hai and knew what he was planning. Zhao Hai wanted to improve his standing. Li Xunhua was aware of Zhao Hai’s status in the Great Realm of Cultivation. Zhao Hai was now more formidable than the sect masters of the nine super sects. Now that Zhao Hai called him Senior Brother, Li Xunhua’s standing would improve in everyone’s eyes.

Li Xunhua returned the greeting and said, “You’re not late at all. The Heavenly Demons just arrived. Mister, it’s not the right time to chat. We still need to block the Heavenly Demon Army.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Leave it to me. Heavenly Demons, hahaha.”

After he said that, Zhao Hai appeared not far away from the Heavenly Demon Army. He laughed loudly and said, “Heavenly Demons, we meet again. You should have returned to the Heavenly Demon Realm. I wouldn’t have chased you. But you stayed. And if you stay, you are my enemies. I have never been polite to my foes.”

The immortal-level Heavenly Demons immediately recognized Zhao Hai. When they saw Zhao Hai, the Heavenly Demons stopped and looked at Zhao Hai with vigilance.

One of the immortal-level Heavenly Demons looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Zhao Hai, you have no business here. You better not partic.i.p.ate.”

Zhao Hai laughed and said, “I have no business here? Are you joking? This is the Great Realm of Cultivation. I have the entire realm standing behind me. And you say it’s none of my business? Also, I forgot to tell you, the people behind me have joined the Freedom Alliance. Being the commander of the Freedom Alliance’s first army, I have the responsibility to protect them. I’ll give you one last chance to return to the Heavenly Demon Realm. If you decide to return, I’ll promise you that I won’t give chase.”

The immortal-level Heavenly Demon’s complexion changed. Then he coldly snorted and said, “Zhao Hai, you’re too arrogant. Do you really think that the Heavenly Demons are afraid of you? Look how many troops we have and look at yours. Even if we fight to the death, we will destroy you.” After he said that, the Heavenly Demon waved his hand. The immortal-level Undead didn’t move. Instead, it was the more than 10 million Heavenly Demons that rushed towards Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai laughed and said, “Ten million Heavenly Demons want to kill me? Hahaha. Heavenly Demons, you don’t know how many people this Zhao Hai has killed!” Zhao Hai waved his hand and released an overwhelming amount of Undead. There were so many Undead that it became impossible to count them all.

Most importantly, all of the Undead were at a cube formation. Their organization made one feel their scalp tingle just by looking at them.

It wasn’t only the Heavenly Demons who s.h.i.+vered at the sight. Li Xunhua and the others also felt cold upon looking at the Undead that appeared all around them. They simply couldn’t count them all. 100 million? 1 billion? 10 billion? It was a lot of Undead.

The Heavenly Demon Army looked like it hit an invisible wall. All of them stopped all of a sudden. The scene in front of them was just very shocking. None of them thought that Zhao Hai would have so many Undead.

Zhao Hai took Alien out. As he stood on the giant beast, he looked at the Heavenly Demons and then laughed, “You have more than me? Hahaha. Take a good look! Attack!” Zhao Hai swiped his hand forward. The cubes behind him slowly pressed forward. All of these Undead had rifles in their hands.

Bullet after bullet began flying. Giant beasts who had cannons behind them also fired sh.e.l.l after sh.e.l.l. Millions upon millions of projectiles began flying towards the Heavenly Demons.

The Heavenly Demon Army began to panic. They couldn’t fathom the monster that they were facing. As the army were panicking, the rain of bullets began to hit them.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Demons were able to react in time. All of them released their dao avatars. At the same time, the Heavenly Demon Army began to retreat. Only fools wouldn’t retreat when faced with such a situation.

These Heavenly Demons knew that these Undead were far weaker than them. However, this wasn’t important. With so many Undead, they could drown under the sheer numbers.

The immortal-level Heavenly Demon who spoke earlier had an ugly face. He wanted to drown Zhao Hai with numbers as well. But now, it was him who was afraid of being drowned by Zhao Hai’s Undead. He began to feel regret. He suddenly thought of Zhao Hai’s previous words. His eyes couldn’t help but narrow as he muttered, “Perhaps returning to the Heavenly Demon Realm was the best choice.”

The Heavenly Demon Army continued to retreat as Zhao Hai’s Undead pushed forward. The distance between the two sides neither shortened nor widened. The Heavenly Demons found that Zhao Hai doesn’t intend to wipe them all out. The panic in their hearts calmed down. Then they began to hasten their retreat.

Seeing the Heavenly Demons, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but grin. He didn’t let the Undead move faster because there was no need to do so.

Upon confirming that Zhao Hai wasn’t going to chase them down, the Heavenly Demons felt relieved. Before long, the Heavenly Demons gained a considerable distance from Zhao Hai’s Undead. But at the same time, they all turned around and left the area as quickly as they could.

Zhao Hai stopped his Undead. He just looked at the retreating backs of the Heavenly Demons. Strictly speaking, the Heavenly Demons didn’t do anything wrong. Zhao Hai wasn’t a saint. To be honest, the Great World of Cultivation wasn’t any better than the Heavenly Demon Realm. Zhao Hai has no intentions of destroying the Heavenly Demon Race.

When the Heavenly Demons disappeared, Zhao Hai waved his hand and received all of his Undead. Li Xunhua and the others who couldn’t see what was happening finally saw Zhao Hai once more.
