Chapter 453: Undead Army
The old demon cackled maliciously as he stared at the dark flying creatures descending towards Hestia's group. These creatures had long scythe-like arms and grisly sharp teeth! And all of them were now striking towards Hestia and the other two!
"Hahaha! Die!" Necromancer Emperor Skull let out a malevolent expression as he watched the scene. These humans dared to provoke him, so they should face the consequences of their actions! As for their mysterious leader, who cares about that guy? He could just escape here after killing these three maggots!
"No!" An enraged voice resounded, followed by a flying figure moving towards Hestia's group to aid them.
"Demon Empress Ganda, why are you here?" Lu Sulan asked in surprise as she blocked dozens of flying creatures. These dark and winged beings weren't that strong. The only problem here was that there are too many of them!
The Demon Empress hacked her way towards them with her giant heavy sword. She then glanced helplessly at Lu Sulan. "Your master, Jiu Shen, would definitely skin me alive if something happens to his disciples near my territory. Leave this place! We'll buy time for you guys!" She then stared at Lou Baiqing who just arrived at the scene. "Lou Baiqing, tell your men to protect them at all cost! Don't allow them to be harmed!"
Lou Baiqing nodded his head solemnly. He then glanced at his subordinates at commanded them. "You heard Her Majesty! Protect our three friends!"
With the help of the Demon Empress and the others, Hestia's group of three felt less burdened. However, they were overwhelmed by their favor, especially Hestia who was now guilty for the bad treatment she showed earlier.
"How foolish! Hahaha! Even if you help them, they would still end up dead and you guys might even die along with them! Hahaha!" The old demon laughed eerily in a high-pitch voice. The aura of darkness around him had noticeably become stronger as he summoned spells after spells to attack the two groups!
The Demon Empress glared at the old necromancer as she muttered. "You don't know what you're doing, Elder Skull! Of the three humans you attacked, two of them are Wine Master Jiu Shen's disciples! You might have heard of that name, right?"
The face of the old demon changed upon hearing the Demon Empress' words. She was right. He has heard a lot about this Jiu Shen fellow. He even heard of an absurd rumor that this Jiu Shen killed the Valley Master of Poison Valley with just one punch! Who in their right mind would believe something like that?
Valley Master Jiao was a mid stage Void God Realm poison master and he even drank a strong poison that enhanced his overall abilities! And they were saying that such an individual was killed with just one punch? Even he couldn't do such a thing! However, were the rumors about him true, or was it merely fabricated by the humans to strike fear among the demons?
The Necromancer Emperor sneered. "As if I care about him! Hahaha! I joined the great continental war more than fifty thousand years ago and I've never heard of any human expert that goes by the name Jiu Shen. And even if his cultivation is the same as mine, would he be able to defeat my undead army? Hahaha!"
Can Ye who was busy battling against several dozen winged creatures suddenly erupted into laughter. "You don't know what you're talking about, old fool! Master is the strongest expert in this whole world!"
Can Ye had seen his master doing all sorts of unimaginable things. He even knew all sorts of professions and he was also the best in all of that! His master also gave an average mercenary like him the chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with the top experts of this world! Not just anyone can do that!
The old demon furrowed his eyebrows. "Such boastful remarks! The strongest person in the world? No one dares to say that in front of me, little human! Even your ancestors who fought bravely fifty thousand years ago dared not utter such absurd claims!"
The Necromancer Emperor decided to no longer hold back. "Perhaps it's time to announce my reappearance to this world! Hahaha! Come out my undead army!"
All sorts of undead creatures suddenly appeared all over the place! The once lush forest was now covered by a dark and gloomy atmosphere as millions upon millions of strange-looking undead creatures emerged!
The Demon Empress' face fell. This undead army was dangerous for the Narda Principality! If she didn't do anything, everyone living in her territory would die a miserable death! She couldn't allow this to happen!
"Baiqing, have one of your men go back to the territory and tell him to blockade the territory! Get the army to prepare for war!"
Lou Baiqing immediately sent his fastest subordinate to leave at once.
"We've implicated you, Demon Empress Ganda. I'm so sorry this happened." An exhausted Lu Sulan hovered beside the Demon Empress. The former had all kinds of wounds all over her body. If not for her unique physique, she would have already gone unconscious from the loss of too much blood.
Hestia also appeared beside Demon Empress Ganda. She then muttered. "I also apologize for acting like that earlier. You aren't the same as the other demons. At least you and your group are somehow reliable."
The Demon Empress glanced at the two women and smiled at them. "We will talk later, ladies. We still have millions of enemies to kill!"
She then flashed towards the center of the undead army and struck with her giant heavy sword.
Bang!
Hestia and Lu Sulan smiled and began their slaughter...
However, as more time passed by, the more exhausted they've become. Some of Lou Baiqing's subordinates even perished during the onslaught! If this continues, more of them would die!
Looking at this dire scene, Hestia and the rest almost lost hope, but then a calm voice suddenly echoed in the skies.
"It seems like I'm late to the party...."
