The twelve Ancestor Witches had already made Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi extremely wary and given them no end of headaches!
If the Witch Race really gained a thirteenth Ancestor Witch—
then in the struggle between the two races, the Demon Race would likely be defeated in short order!
That was why the Demon Race's countless troops had come today: to wipe out the roots!
To forever put an end to the possibility of Xiao Ran becoming the Witch Race's thirteenth Ancestor Witch!
At the thought, Xiao Ran's expression darkened further!
His hatred for Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi deepened as well!
"Buzz!"
A violent ripple suddenly stirred in the Void.
A figure darted out of the Void and, in the blink of an eye, appeared above the Xiao Ran Tribe.
Jiu Ying, one of the Ten Demon Saints, glanced at the several million Witch troops.
His face showed utter disdain.
He sneered. "I am Jiu Ying, Demon Saint of the Demon Race!"
"By order of the Demon Emperor and the Demon Emperor, I have come to execute Xiao Ran and wipe out the Witch Race!"
"Today, my countless Demon Race troops are here. Not one of you beasts of the Witch Race will escape!"
Xiao Ran's eyelid twitched almost imperceptibly.
He knew exactly what sort of figure Demon Saint Jiu Ying was.
Throughout the entire Demon Race, aside from Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi,
the Ten Demon Saints were the most powerful!
And Jiu Ying was among them!
Jiu Ying was at the Late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.
Xiao Ran, meanwhile, was only at the Early Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.
In terms of strength,
he was no match for Jiu Ying.
What was more, the Demon Race had brought countless troops this time!
And they were all elite forces of the Demon Race!
It seemed the Demon Race was determined to wipe out his tribe!
The disparity in strength between the two sides was enormous!
This battle was sure to be fierce and extraordinarily dangerous!
Yet despite all that, Xiao Ran showed no fear!
Even if it meant mutual destruction, even if they had to fight to the bitter end,
he would not take a single step back!
At that moment, Gu Shi, Heng Lei, and the other Middle Witches said gravely to Xiao Ran, "Lord Xiao Ran, the Demon Race's countless troops are attacking!"
"The several million troops of our tribe alone aren't nearly enough to hold them back!"
"Our only option is to send a signal at once and request reinforcements from our people!"
Xiao Ran shook his head and narrowed his eyes. "It's no use!"
"The Chaos Bell has sealed the space and time of our entire tribe!"
"Our people won't be able to come to our aid anytime soon!"
The Middle Witches gaped at him, hardly able to believe it!
A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Ran's eyes. He bellowed, "All warriors of the Witch Race, heed my command!"
"Fight!"
"Even if we shed the very last drop of blood!"
"Even if we die on the battlefield, we will fight to the end!"
Xiao Ran's words set the several million Witch troops ablaze.
They clenched their fists and gazed at Xiao Ran, their blood surging.
The countless Demon troops in the sky seemed no more than a pack of mongrels and clay chickens.
They weren't worth fearing at all!
"Fight to the end! Never retreat!"
Countless Witch Race beings felt their blood boil and roared in fury.
Their earth-shaking cries tore through the clouds above.
The ground for hundreds of millions of miles around trembled violently!
Their fearless, unyielding spirit struck an inexplicable dread into the entire Demon Army!
Only Demon Saint Jiu Ying still wore a faint, disdainful smile.
So what if the Witch Race were fearless and their morale soared?
They had only a few million Witch troops!
Against the Demon Army's overwhelming strength,
they had no chance of escape!
Their tribe was doomed to be wiped out!
"Kill that bastard Jiu Ying!"
"Let's kill a Demon Saint first and use him to raise our banner!"
Several Middle Witches roared.
With a tremendous surge of divine might, they charged toward Jiu Ying.
Jiu Ying sneered. "A mayfly trying to shake a tree! You're asking for death!"
As he spoke, Jiu Ying struck with one palm.
A colossal palm shadow blotted out the sky, shaking the endless heavens and tearing through layer upon layer of the Void.
A wave of terrifying power surged forth, sweeping toward the Middle Witches with unstoppable force!
Their bloodcurdling screams rang out.
The bodies of several Middle Witches instantly burst apart!
They dissolved into a rain of blood!
The several million Witch troops erupted in fury!
These were the Heavenly Prides of their tribe!
They had just fought alongside them, clearing trial after trial in the Chaos Trial Tower.
Now Jiu Ying had slain them!
The Witch Race beings felt cold all over, and boundless fury surged in their hearts!
Xiao Ran's eyelid twitched. Without hesitation, he blew the True Dragon Horn!
When two evenly matched foes meet, the braver one wins!
He would seize this chance to raise the Witch Race's morale.
Perhaps they really could carve a path through the Demon Army's countless troops
and find a glimmer of hope for the people of his tribe!
"Roar!"
A sharp, terrifying blast shook heaven and earth and resounded through the skies!
Under the influence of the True Dragon Horn,
the eyes of the several million Witch Race beings turned blood-red, and their fighting spirit surged!
Their morale and battle intent had reached a terrifying height!
Now, all they could see was slaughter and bloodlust!
They would not stop until they had killed the last Demon Race being!
Demon Saint Jiu Ying raised an eyebrow.
