Da Xuan Martial Saint

As many demons gradually approached the city pass,

"The demons are coming."

The various generals and disciples of the Seven Profound Sect, already accustomed to the wind and sand and having steadied their stance, each focused intently, ready for the confrontation.

Just as the demons, like a tide of evil, swarmed thickly up the walls, about to reach the top of the city pass,

Buzz!!!

Amidst the sandstorm, the force of the fierce wind howled together, accompanied by a terrifying demonic aura. Suddenly, a multitude of sand spheres appeared, hurtling through the air like flung rocks, slamming into Yunlu City Pass!

These sand spheres were huge, nearly ten feet in size, and the tremendous demonic power they gathered, combined with the force of the wind and sand, caused many of the Bone Tempering Realm generals to turn pale before the spheres even landed.

Great Demons of the Fifth and Sixth Rank took the lead!

"You insignificant demons, how dare you act so recklessly!"

Xiahou Yan's cold shout exploded as he leaped forward, his spear piercing through a giant sand sphere. Flames suddenly ignited on the surface of the sphere, and with a flick of his arm, he hurled it down from the city pass, where it burst open in mid-air!

The shattered sand sphere, melted by the fierce flames into red-hot fragments, engulfed several demons that were about to climb over the city wall in its blaze. They let out piercing screams before plummeting down, toppling others along their fall.

"Hmph!"

Chu Jingsui snorted coldly, leaping up as well. Unlike Xiahou Yan, he simply reached out, his right hand forcefully catching one of the huge sand spheres. Yuan Gang Force erupted, dispersing the demonic power within and replacing it with the power of Xun Wind, before hurling the giant sphere back down below the city pass.

With a series of screams and blood spattering everywhere, another group of demons was crushed to death.

At the same time,

Meng Danyun, Zhao Zhenchuan, and others also took action almost simultaneously, including the Five Viscera Realm commanders and stewards, each dealing with the smaller sand spheres, either knocking them down or throwing them back.

Only Chen Mu stood firm on the spot, his expression indifferent, without any action, until a giant sand sphere flew overhead. Only then did he lazily press upwards, causing the sand sphere to come to a halt mid-air, then violently shrink, reducing significantly in size to form a mottled sandstone before rolling back, tearing through the wind and sand on its path.

Within the torn wind and sand,

A thin and withered figure appeared, yet another Sand Demon.

"Ga."

The Sand Demon issued a strange cry, then the wind and sand nearby surged together, forming two streams of sand that interwove and resisted the heavy, mountain-collapse-like impact of the giant sand rock, barely managing to stop it.

With a somewhat terrified look, it glanced at Chen Mu before retreating quickly, disappearing deeper into the sandstorm along with its presence.

"Indeed, a bit more troublesome."

Chen Mu watched this scene, his tone unwavering.

The aura of this Sand Demon was not much stronger than the one he had previously killed, but the more violent the sandstorm, the more difficult it became to deal with. Especially now, with the demons attacking the city pass and the Sand Demon acutely aware of the presence of powerful figures like Xiahou Yan and Chu Jingsui on the walls, it dared not approach, only disturbing them from a distance within the storm.

Sand Demons, creatures with weak physiques completely reliant on demonic power and the elements, completely suppressed by the Strength of Qian Heaven, would be easily killed by Chen Mu if they dared to come within thirty feet of him.

It was just that the Sand Demon from before was too far away.

Finally,

As the great demons hidden within the sandstorm locked in a distant confrontation with Chen Mu, Xiahou Yan, and others, the demons at the foot of the city pass finally climbed to the top, suddenly clashing with the numerous martial artists amidst the wind and sand.

In an instant, the wind and sand raged, with screams echoing, turning the area into a battlefield.

"Damn it!"

Cui Sheng, holding his spear not far from Chen Mu, killed a Fourth Rank demon with a single thrust but was then sent flying several feet backward by a sand wave that surged from the sandstorm, barely managing to stop his retreat. Your journey continues with empire

The demonic power brewing within this sand wave from the storm was no more formidable than that of an ordinary Fifth Rank demon. However, the problem was the direction of the sandstorm, as it faced the city pass head-on, meaning the many great demons within the storm were acting 'with the flow', so even a casual attack was powerful and surging.

On the other hand, the people atop the city pass, even as strong as Yuan Gang Realm beings like Xiahou Yan were, could only passively defend against the attacks, struggling to counter the demons hidden deep within the storm.

Crossbow bolts shot against the wind and those shot with the wind carried completely different magnitudes of force.

Yet, Xiahou Yan and others were ultimately powerful and more or less masters of the Artistic Conception of 'Xun Wind', so they weren't completely passive. Even in adverse conditions, they were still able to withstand the numerous attacks from the front.

Chen Mu was no longer stationary but moved along the top of the city pass, occasionally acting to block attacks like sand waves and sand spears emerging from the storm, no longer expending energy to counter far-off attacks. At most, he casually crushed some Third and Fourth Rank demons climbing the city pass, smashing them into pulp.

However,

As the storm raged on, the number of demons climbing the city pass showed no signs of diminishing. Moreover, the various attacks launched from the sandstorm became more frequent. More often than not, they weren't directed at Chen Mu and the others, but aimed at the Bone Tempering Realm generals.
