The six grand secretaries immediately began preparing for battle without thinking about anything else. As a protected Hanlin, Fang Yun's first action was to observe the enemy.
On the opposite side were the nine-headed demon kings, all of whom were injured, and Fang Yun had seen them all before.
These nine demon kings were none other than the group of demon kings from the Baofeng tribe. Their base was fifty miles away from the Yun family’s base. Originally, there were supposed to be seventeen demon kings.
The tribal chief Xiong Sha still served as the leader of the team, but compared to the previous meeting, the blood in his eyes was as sticky as glue and his anger doubled.
The demon kings' bodies have strong recovery abilities, but Fang Yun saw difficult-to-heal wounds on five of them. They were still bleeding, and it was obvious that they were caused by verbal sparring or the power of war poems, not traces of the demons' minions.
They encountered a powerful team of university scholars.
There are not many powers that can make it difficult for the Demon King's wounds to heal. The most likely power that can be used at the Grand Secretary stage is the power of the stars, followed by the literary treasures with righteous aura.
"They should encounter the team of grand scholars from the six sub-saint families." Fang Yun said.
The other six grand secretaries nodded. The only tribes that could fight against the six sub-saint families were the top four. The Baofeng tribe was ranked ninth among the top ten tribes, so it was normal for it to be defeated and flee.
At the same time, the seven people were a little surprised, because the blood of the Nine-headed Demon King was very strong, which meant that the battle would be very short and would end before they consumed a lot of blood. This meant that the university scholar team had an overwhelming advantage, and the outcome might even be decided as soon as they fought.
Fang Yun and the other seven people were somewhat gloating in their hearts. These bear monsters in the ancient land of Xuemang had obviously underestimated the power of the sub-saint families, otherwise they would not have been so miserable. As the second most powerful force in the human race after the Confucius family, the foundation of the six sub-saint families was no less than that of the demon saint tribe in the demon world, and only slightly less than that of the Great Saint tribe.
Most of the semi-saint tribes in the demon world have a heritage of more than ten thousand years, but even their power is not as good as that of the sub-saint families, let alone the Baofeng tribe.
Yun Zhaochen spoke in a demonic voice, "Chief Xiongsha, you are injured. If you fight with us, both of you will be hurt. Instead of that, it is better not to bother each other and go your separate ways."
A trace of hatred flashed across Xiong Sha's eyes, and then he smiled contemptuously and said, "Haha, we are powerless in front of the Grand Secretary of the Mengzi family. But it is easy to kill you little demons and barbarians! Hand over your Hanhu shells, and we will turn around and leave!"
The seven people's faces darkened, and Lian Pingchao was furious, cursing: "Every item in my Hanhubei was earned with my blood and sweat. You actually want to take them all away? It's simply wishful thinking! If you think that nine beasts can defeat the six of us, then let's fight hard. Let's see who can step into the Five Dragons Hall in the end!"
Fang Yun didn't expect that Lian Pinghu would exclude himself. A strange look flashed across his face, which seemed to be mocking or joking.
"The Five Dragons Hall?" Xiong Sha looked at the seven people with resentment and said, "We, the Baofeng tribe, have completely abandoned the Five Dragons Hall and are only looking for treasures in the ruins! It was you humans who killed the eight demon kings of our tribe. You seven should give us an explanation! You must have obtained a lot of treasures. Leave all the treasures you got from the ruins of Dragon City and we will let you go. We don't need other items including lake shells!"
All six university scholars looked hesitant. Although the treasures obtained from the ruins of Dragon City were quite good, if they were exchanged for letting these demon kings leave, it would be worth it and not a loss.
When Fang Yun saw that the six university scholars were silent for a while, he quickly understood that, after all, the six were city lords and university scholars. If they simply bowed to the demon king, it would be very detrimental to their literary talents and future practice.
What's more, even if these demon kings get the treasure, they may not leave.
"You don't deserve even a grain of rice from me!" Ye Fangge suddenly said firmly.
"If you want to take my things, you have to exchange your life for them!" A smile appeared on Lian Pingchao's face, full of cruelty and ruthlessness.
"Stop talking nonsense and fight!" A military book appeared in front of Qiu Meng.
These six university scholars did not walk to this day, but killed until today!
Seeing the six university scholars' extremely firm attitudes, the nine-headed demon king hesitated, and the other eight heads looked at Chief Xiongsha together.
"Since you are seeking death, don't blame us! If you enter the ruins of Dragon City and don't kill a group of scholars, how can we show the might of our demon race? Kill!"
"Ah..."
The nine-headed bear demon king roared towards the sky, with demonic energy all around him. The bright red evil spirit all over his body flowed upwards like a burning flame.
"Kill them all!" The nine-headed bear demon king, whose body was as big as an elephant, got on all fours, lined up in a row, and rushed towards Fang Yun and the other seven people.
Yun Zhaochen quickly ordered: "This nine-headed demon king is much more powerful than the ten-headed giant elephants. We must not underestimate them. Hemu, you and Lao Qiu will entangle the four demon kings on the far left. Pingchao and Fangge will hold back the other four. Shan'a, you and I will join forces to attack the youngest bear demon king. Yunfang, you act according to the situation."
"Yes!" Fang Yun and the other six agreed together, and no one objected.
"In the first round of attack, write "Ghostly Talent"!" Yun Zhaochen said.
The distance of ten miles was an extremely short journey for the Demon King. They soon came within one mile, and what was waiting for them were six identical war poems "Pouring Talent".
The sky ten feet above the Nine-headed Demon King suddenly turned into a pitch-black hole with a radius of one mile. Then, huge meteorites with a diameter of more than ten feet seemed to fall from outer space and hit the Nine-headed Demon King through the pitch-black hole.
Fang Yun focused his eyes and saw densely packed meteorites falling from the pitch-black hole. Each meteorite was wrapped in red flames and flew down obliquely with a tail of flame.
But in the blink of an eye, the sky and earth within a mile radius was covered by dense and ubiquitous meteorites, as if the sky was about to fall!
One song of "Pouring Talent" is enough to destroy a city, and the power of these six songs of "Pouring Talent" overlap, making meteorites rain down and flames spread like forests.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…
The earth-shaking sounds of meteorites hitting the ground rang out one after another, and powerful shock waves continued to erupt.
The scorching flames seemed to burn the entire Dragon City.
The sky and the earth were all red.
Fang Yun could no longer see the nine-headed demon king.
It took a full ten breaths before the meteorite rain dissipated and the flames on the ground gradually weakened.
The nine-headed bear demon was seen curled up on the ground in a defensive posture. All the bear hair on its body had been burnt off, and its powerful blood and qi armor had disappeared. In addition to the previous wounds, there were many tender red scars on its body that had just healed.
The nine-headed bear monster's skin turned pale, and no one knew how much blood had evaporated just now.
A moment later, the nine-headed bear demon kings stood up at the same time, their blood, qi and armor condensed again, and the evil spirit slowly formed a demonic flame.
For the Bear Demon King, the previous attack only consumed some of his energy and blood, without causing any fundamental damage.
"What a powerful demon king!"
Fang Yun pondered in his mind and realized that if he joined the battle, the chances of winning would be fifty-fifty and there would definitely be casualties on his side, which would be very disadvantageous for entering the Five Dragons Hall.
"Everyone, be prepared for a fight to the death!" Yun Zhaochen's words made everyone's heart sink.
Seeing the nine-headed almost crazy bear demon king rushing towards him, Fang Yun suddenly said: "Mr. Pingchao, if I can scare off the nine-headed bear demon king, will it be considered a merit and the reward will be increased?" .
(To be continued.)
