Within the barrier, more and more great demons were falling into a disadvantageous position.
The deaths of the Green-Eyed Golden Eagle and the escape of Gray Mouse, along with the retreat of great demons like the Blood Spider and Bioluo Bee, had caused the entire situation inside the defensive barrier to swing completely in favor of the human race from Shanhetal.
Seeing that the tide had turned, more and more great demons began to put distance between themselves and the battle, choosing to retreat.
Even swathes of low- and mid-level demons, sensing that something was amiss, began to flee.
At the crack in the barrier, they were packed together in a crush. The human martial artists who pursued them out instead beat them while they were down, leaving another great number dead or wounded.
Lu Yang seized the chance to profit amid the chaos, making several more strikes and reaping quite a harvest.
However, throughout the process, he kept a firm grip on his restraint, not casually attacking those high-level demons.
The situation outside Dragon Sleep Valley was dire. For the martial artists of Shanhetal, since these demons were leaving, it was best to let them go if possible.
If they were driven into a corner and fought back, they would put considerable pressure on his own side.
"Who let you out? Get back in there!"
Seeing more and more demons escape through the crack, Xue Ji was seething with anger. The terrifying aura of a Demon King descended, pressing the demon hordes into trembling submission.
"Hmph! Xue Ji, what are you doing?" the Three-Headed Green Lion King said, displeased. The violent demonic power within him spread as well, completely canceling out the pressure Xue Ji had unleashed.
Xue Ji said coldly, "Azure Lion, don't forget what you promised me!"
