However, this demon army was indeed powerful. Even when suddenly attacked like this, they didn’t panic at all. All the hell demons quickly gathered together, while the bear demons guarded them one-on-one, quickly completing the pairings. The mad demons and demon race dealt with the situation on their own.

Among them, half of the demons flew into the air to intercept the falling rocks in the first wave. They had to break the rocks and reduce their size.

Moreover, a portion of the demons braved the difficulty, flying directly towards the tops of the mountains on both sides. They moved with incredible speed.

Undoubtedly, the surprise attack from the mountain peaks on both sides came from Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian, who had finally found a suitable place to launch their attack.

Long Haochen wasn’t worried about their safety. After fighting the demons for so long, they naturally knew what to do. The Demon Suppression Mountain Range was the best place to hide themselves. With their spiritual stoves, equipment, and cultivation, it wouldn’t be easy for the demons to catch them. They would retreat after one strike and wouldn’t give the enemy a chance to surround them.

While the demons were busy dealing with the falling rocks, Long Haochen quickly summoned the Four Great Saint Guards. He briefly explained the current situation, including his objective.

“Expose the enemy’s tracks as much as possible and delay their advance.”

Among the Four Great Saint Guards, the other three simultaneously turned their gazes towards Saint Guard Number Nine.

After a moment of contemplation, Saint Guard Number Nine looked at the other three Saint Guards and then turned to Long Haochen, saying, “Master, how important is it to delay and inflict damage on these enemies?”

Long Haochen replied without hesitation, “Very, very important.”

Saint Guard Number Nine nodded silently, turned to the other three Saint Guards, and said in a deep voice, “Lend me your strength.”

Then, he turned to Long Haochen again and said, “Master, after helping you solve this problem, we will all need to sleep for at least a month to recover the soul power we expend through the Eternal Tower.”

Long Haochen was startled. Just as he was about to ask, the other three Saint Guards had already taken action.

Their movements were uniform as they quickly surrounded Saint Guard Number Nine. Then, their bodies began to tremble violently, and the soul fires in their eyes flickered intensely.

Long Haochen was shocked to see strands of milky white light separating from their eyes and flowing into Saint Guard Number Nine’s body.

The aura of the three Saint Guards weakened at an alarming rate. In contrast, Saint Guard Number Nine was growing stronger at an alarming rate, breaking through from the peak of the seventh rank to the eighth rank in almost an instant, and continuing to rise.

This is… After a brief moment of shock, Long Haochen understood. The three Saint Guards were injecting their soul energy into Saint Guard Number Nine. And not just ordinary soul energy, but their most fundamental soul energy. Otherwise, how could they become so weak?

“Whoosh—”

A red light was the first to return to Eternal Melody; it was Saint Guard Number Twelve. After it returned, Long Haochen immediately couldn’t sense its existence anymore. Clearly, it had fallen into slumber as Saint Guard Number Nine had said.

Saint Guard Number Eleven only lasted a little longer than Number Twelve, followed by Saint Guard Number Ten.

The entire process of transferring soul energy only lasted for a dozen seconds. When all three Saint Guards disappeared, Long Haochen was shocked to discover that Saint Guard Number Nine had undergone a complete transformation.

His body size remained the same, but the yellow soul fire in his eyes now had a faint golden hue. At the same time, the white bones of his body gained a layer of diamond-like fire color. Although it wasn’t intense, it gave people a crystal-clear, incredibly tough, and substantial feeling.

Saint Guard Number Nine didn’t say much, just nodded towards Long Haochen. The next instant, he soared into the air, silently heading towards one of the mountain peaks. He disappeared in an instant. Before leaving, he left Long Haochen with only one piece of information: hold back these demons and don’t let them leave the area between the two mountains.

Although he didn’t know what Saint Guard Number Nine was going to do, Long Haochen absolutely trusted the loyalty of these Saint Guards. Moreover, Saint Guard Number Nine’s actions were aided by the soul power of the other three Saint Guards. How could it be an ordinary spell?

A golden light flashed, and Yating was summoned to Long Haochen’s side. At this time, the falling rocks in the air had stopped, and Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan must have already withdrawn. After realizing there was no danger, these demon troops would definitely continue to advance. In their view, they had at most been discovered by the Temple Alliance. And at this point, they had already penetrated deep into the Demon Suppression Mountain Range, so it was obviously impossible to retreat just like that. After all, this elite force could even face the Exorcist Pass head-on. It wouldn’t be easy for the Temple Alliance to stop them from entering human territory.

Therefore, if Long Haochen wanted to keep them here, he had to make these demons feel the existence of danger. Only in this way could he keep them in a defensive formation instead of leaving.

After a brief exchange with Yating, Long Haochen flashed behind Yating and pressed down with his hands, pouring extremely pure light attribute spiritual power directly into Yating’s body.

Radiance of the Heavens and Earth – Yating wasn’t the only one who could use this skill; Long Haochen could use it as well. Long Haochen was a knight, not a mage. Although he could use light magic, most of it was for auxiliary purposes. Even the spells that could play a role in combat had to be combined with his own abilities. He couldn’t attack remotely. Otherwise, wouldn’t knights be omnipotent?

But Yating was different. As a light elemental sprite, she was a genuine light-type mage. Her affinity for light elements was much stronger than that of human mages. After gaining a large amount of life force in Dream Paradise and merging with Long Haochen’s original Saint Guidance Spiritual Stove, Yating had evolved into a powerful being close to the high elf race. Her strength had been constantly increasing with the improvement of Long Haochen’s cultivation. This was because she herself lived in Long Haochen’s spiritual aperture. At least half of Long Haochen’s rapid cultivation progress was due to her.

Yating, who had a seventh-rank cultivation, was assisted by Long Haochen, who also had a seventh-rank cultivation. Her ability to condense light elements increased by at least one level.

The staff was slowly raised, and the surrounding forest was instantly illuminated. Yating’s clear chanting sounded like the most beautiful music, refreshing the heart.

Long Haochen’s own spiritual power and Yating’s spiritual power rapidly fluctuated and became more and more intense. Long Haochen’s golden eyes also became brighter and brighter. Four spiritual wings spread out behind him. At this point, he no longer needed to hide himself. His spiritual wings and Yating’s wings were lightly flapping, and in this state, their speed of absorbing light elements would definitely reach a terrifying level.

How could such intense condensation of light elements not attract the attention of the demons? Almost immediately, the spore demons and imp demons in the air noticed the movement here.

The imp demon’s sharp screams served as a warning, and a team of twenty great demons, led by an eighth-rank demon lord, immediately flew over.

A fifth-rank great demon was led by an eighth-rank demon lord. The strength of this force was no weaker than the demons Long Haochen and his team encountered in the Fear Howling Cave. Moreover, they had reinforcements.

The enemy’s actions naturally appeared in Long Haochen’s perception, but he didn’t react at all. He was still wholeheartedly pouring spiritual power into Yating. What he had to do now was to do everything possible to assist Yating in completing this magic.

At this time, Yating’s body was like a bottomless pit. Long Haochen was completely unfamiliar with the elven incantation she was chanting. He was certain that this was a spell that Yating had never used before. As for its power, he would have to wait until Yating cast it to see. Whether it was the Saint Guards or Yating, they were all people he could absolutely trust.

Long Haochen’s location was about two thousand meters away from the demon army. Although the distance was not short, it wouldn’t take long for the rapidly flying demons to cover it.

Moreover, it wasn’t just demons that were flying over; a team of spore demons was following them as well. Obviously, they were going to keep Long Haochen here.

After all, Long Haochen was on the ground, unlike Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian, who were on the mountaintop and could easily escape by relying on their spiritual wings to fly away immediately after breaking through the rocks. The spore demons’ flight speed was also limited.

Soon, the enemy was approaching. Long Haochen’s eyes narrowed slightly. At this moment, he fully demonstrated the composure of a Saint Knight and the head of a demon hunting group.

At this moment, within Long Haochen’s perception, he clearly knew the position of each demon. He could even clearly feel what kind of attacks these demons were preparing to make.

At the same time, he raised one of the hands that was casting the Radiance of the Heavens and Earth. Intense orange-red light surged out, almost instantly enveloping him and Yating. It was the guardian knight’s powerful defensive skill, Shield Wall.

It was also Shield Wall, but this defense was different from when Long Haochen cast it in the Gloomy Marsh. In the Gloomy Marsh, he had to protect the entire team, but at this time, he only needed to protect himself and Yating.

The orange-yellow shield looked like only two sides had appeared, like a giant snail shell protecting the two of them. The rich orange-red light was peaceful and gentle. If you looked from a distance, the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield looked like a large orange embedded in the mountain.

The first to arrive was not the demons’ attack, but the mucus spat out by the spore demons. The green mucus with a strong fishy stench came overwhelmingly, covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters at once.
