News of the Decisive Battle

Li Xiao did not rush to finish off the giant scorpion. Instead, he steadily controlled the rhythm of his Sword Qi, leaving it no chance to break free.

He knew that as long as he held this Round Marrow Great Demon here, the battlefield beneath the city would become a one-sided rout.

Sure enough, after most of a day had passed, the Demon Race's front-line defenses were utterly shattered.

Du Tianshan's strength was truly ferocious. Even among Marrow-Piercing cultivators, he stood among the very best.

Li Xiao even reckoned that Du Tianshan could wrestle with a Round Marrow expert.

The scorpion demon was no weakling either. Even with Li Xiao and Du Tianshan joining forces, they only managed to wound it and force it to retreat, unable to keep it there for good.

The Marrow-Piercing and Bone-Generating Demonic Beasts were crushed under the joint assault of Du Tianshan and the Commandery Governor, scattering in all directions. The Demon Race camp outside the city was a scene of chaos: banners toppled, tents collapsed, and corpses lay strewn everywhere.

Seeing that the tide had turned against it, the giant scorpion let out an unwilling roar. It swung its two pincers fiercely, knocking aside the black Sword Qi, then turned and fled into the distance.

Li Xiao did not pursue. He merely hovered in place, watching the massive dark red figure vanish into the distant mountain forests.

There was no need to chase.

If a Round Marrow Great Demon fought back desperately, even if he won, the price would not be small.

Besides, the most important thing now was to open a connection with the west, not to chase down a fleeing enemy.

He slowly withdrew the black Sword Qi, landed atop the city wall, and looked down at the Human Race army
