"There is indeed an ambush!"
Xidaf looked up, countless yellow-green flames erupting in his eyes: "A bunch of hindrances, are you satisfied with the current situation?"
"Enough with the nonsense, can't you handle the current situation?" the Lich sneered. "If you can't handle it, you can hand it over to me, and I'll deal with them!"
"You don't need to worry about it."
Xidaf shouted, "Soldiers, fly up with me and annihilate those disgusting humans!"
With that, he pushed off the ground forcefully, spread his wings, and the crimson greatsword ignited with fierce flames. He raised his hand, and a sword light cleaved a falling boulder as easily as cutting tofu. Then, with unstoppable momentum, he continued to ascend!
The cleaved boulder split into two pieces, crushing two Hell-Guarding Hunters who were flying up behind him.
On the cliffside, Vincent drew his sword and loudly commanded, "Continue the operation, don't stop the explosions! Warriors, follow me to slay the demons!"
Vincent extended his right hand, a dazzling light flashed, and a golden cross sword appeared in his hand.
With a swing of his hand, the cross sword unleashed an immeasurable golden light, shooting directly towards Xidaf. Facing Vincent's attack, Xidaf was not afraid. He neither dodged nor evaded. The crimson greatsword ignited with fierce flames, and he intended to meet Vincent's blow head-on!
The violent collision triggered terrifying fluctuations. Even on the other cliffside, several rocks that had not been blown off by the explosions fell due to this impact!
As a result, several more demons following behind were crushed.
Xidaf retreated a distance, then flapped his wings and flew up again. The holy sword in Vincent's hand still blazed with light, aimed at the demon commander. Another sword strike followed!
This time, his power was more refined. Xidaf was forced to retreat a considerable distance before he could barely stabilize himself.
"Human, your arrangements are exquisite. However, under the inexhaustible might of the undead army, you will ultimately escape nothing but annihilation!"
Floating in the sky, Xidaf's expression was indifferent.
"When one possesses overwhelming strength, everyone will have such a mindset. Although they cannot defeat you in a one-on-one fight, in battle, why would demons engage you one-on-one?"
Vincent looked at the demons and spoke softly, as if recalling something. Then, he refocused and shouted to the opposite side, "Dukal, continue the operation!"
On the other side, the demolitions were still ongoing. This was a cliff protruding from the mountainside, structurally very unstable. Over the past few days, the soldiers had essentially hollowed it out, and now they had to completely blow it apart to make these giant rocks fall!
In addition to this, behind it was a slope. The rocks they had dug out or prepared from elsewhere over the past few days were all ready. Once this section of the cliff was blown apart, they would drop these rocks to completely seal off the path, preventing the demons from advancing further!
With the second round of explosions, rumbling boulders rolled down. The demons had no time to dodge and were all crushed into bloody pulp.
Suddenly, the sky darkened. Rolling dark clouds churned in the sky, and then countless green fireballs descended from the heavens, landing within Xiao Xun's formation!
"It's Lord of Fear," the Lich looked up. "I feel like these humans are about to flee in disarray."
But as if to slap his face, the next moment, soaring holy light pierced the dark clouds. The green fireballs were extinguished one by one, and the dark clouds dispersed with a rumble. In less than ten seconds, sunlight reappeared in the sky!
This immense spell had been completely nullified!
The Lich's expression instantly turned grim.
"The opponent has a means to counter Lord of Fear, so many things still depend on us." Xidaf, who had watched the entire process from the side, said, "Alright, let us proceed. If I don't find a way to kill those people, we will never be able to pass through this canyon."
Another deafening roar. This time, what was about to fall was no longer ordinary rocks, but a real, massive section of the mountain!
A colossal mountain body, nearly a kilometer in length!
"Damn it, Xidaf, you'll kill all of us!" Lapotz, who had just been shouting fearlessly, now wore a look of utter horror. He turned around and bolted backward, "I won't be buried with you, you foolish fellow!"
"Damn it!" Xidaf cursed angrily, then flapped his wings and flew backward as well.
He alone could not shatter such a massive rock. Staying any longer would only result in him being instantly crushed to death!
Dukal looked at the path below that was completely blocked by the mountainside. He let out a sigh of relief and murmured, "My efforts were not in vain after all."
Hearing his words, Vincent also smiled slightly, then waved to the other side and shouted, "Jifuni, continue, drop the rocks we prepared too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the giant rocks along the slope rumbled down the cliff and crashed into the canyon. Since the demons had retreated a distance, this wave did not cause them further casualties.
However, the gaps below were now completely sealed.
Xiao Xun had Bai Yang relay a message to Vincent: "Alright, you can withdraw."
"I wish they would continue to advance," Vincent glanced at the chaotic demons below. "That way, we can set up another ambush at the exit. What do you think, Your Highness?"
"It's better to be cautious. If they go over the mountains, our ambush will fail."
"I will have the magic helicopters continue to monitor them and maintain contact at all times," Xiao Xun glanced down again and added, "Also, retreat as soon as possible. Although I don't know why Lord of Fear hasn't charged up yet, if we wait for him, we will inevitably suffer many casualties."
The previous wave was undoubtedly the spell of Lord of Fear. The overwhelming area it covered truly instilled despair.
"Yes, we are withdrawing." Vincent nodded, then waved to the opposite mountain. On the other side, Jifuni immediately pushed the cannons off the mountainside with her soldiers and retreated rapidly without taking anything.
The demon aerial army wanted to pursue further, but after losing another wave, they received orders and returned to rendezvous with the demons trapped on the other side of the mountain path.
At this moment, in front of Lord of Fear, three individuals were cowering, none daring to speak first.
"Who can tell me what exactly happened over there?" Lord of Fear spoke, his voice as calm as if devoid of anger. "Why was our path suddenly blocked? Reishiler, I gave you a mission?"
"Master, you are wrongly accusing me, Master!" Reishiler prostrated himself on the ground, trembling. "Xidaf and the Lich were actually taken down by those humans! This far exceeded my subordinate's expectations, and for a moment, my subordinate was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do..."
"Shut up, you slandering scoundrel!" Xidaf couldn't help but reprimand, but the next moment, Lord of Fear reprimanded him, "I didn't tell you to speak!"
Xidaf was indignant but dared not disobey Lord of Fear's command.
