The army of over ten thousand drew their swords and charged straight into the Thousand Vine Poison Forest.
Wang Chao and Ma Han led the army, plunging directly into its heartland.
"Don't retreat! Hold them back!"
Several Demon Gods roared. The roots forming the defensive barrier had been destroyed, and the Samadhi True Fire kept spreading. From the breach, the entire Thousand Vine Poison Forest began burning outward in every direction.
