The Return of Stars to the Jianghu

Chapter 118 Winning the War Between Humans and Demons but Suffering Severe Injuries

Most of the cultivators on the Floating Life Continent stepped into this black vortex in pursuit of immortality, and they arrived at the Profound Heaven Continent through the tunnel.

But at this moment, they were plunged into unprecedented panic. The battlefield was in chaos, with humans and demons fighting each other.

They fled in all directions, trying to escape this sudden disaster, but the ferocious beasts surrounded them like ghosts, forcing them into a desperate situation.

At this critical moment, a ninth-rank Shu Mountain swordsman from the Floating Life Continent stepped forward. He shouted loudly, trying to calm everyone down: "Don't panic, everyone! Let's join forces to fight these monsters!" His voice was firm and powerful, as if injecting strength into everyone.

As he finished speaking, several cultivators stepped forward, weapons in hand, and bravely charged towards the demonic beasts.

However, their strength was ultimately limited, and they quickly found themselves in a fierce battle against the ferocious beasts. Despite their best efforts, they were repeatedly repelled by the beasts.

Just then, the Demon King stood up again, his gaze fixed on Su An. He could no longer maintain his human form, and the hair on his body began to stand out.

Seeing this, Su An's heart tightened. The true form of the Demon King began to appear. She took a deep breath, raised the greatsword in her hand high, and then slashed fiercely at the Demon King.

With a deafening roar, the Demon King was sent flying by Su An's sword. However, this time the Demon King did not retreat as easily as before. Instead, it regained its footing and charged at Su An again.

Su An's heart sank; he could sense that the Demon King's power was even greater than before. He quickly adjusted his stance, preparing to face the Demon King's next attack.

However, the demon king was faster than he had imagined. It punched Su An in the chest, sending him flying.

"Pfft!" Su An fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He struggled to stand up, but his body was as if it were being crushed by a heavy object and he couldn't move.

"Master, aren't you going to help her?" Roland couldn't help but plead with Wen Bin when she saw Su An's miserable state.

“I cannot interfere in the war between humans and demons.” Wen Bin’s tone revealed helplessness and determination. “According to the rules, you cannot go either, otherwise I will have no choice but to expel you from the sect.”

Upon hearing this, Roland felt a pang of inner turmoil. She knew her master's rules couldn't be broken, but how could she stand idly by while Su An was in danger? In the end, she gritted her teeth and decided to go against her master's wishes to help Su An.

“Okay.” Roland said, and then rushed to the battlefield.

Wen Bin watched her retreating figure and shook his head helplessly. He knew that once his apprentice made a decision, it was very difficult to change it.

At this moment, Roman also saw Roland's actions. She hesitated for a second, but finally decided to rush to the battlefield as well.

Wen Bin watched his two apprentices rush into the battlefield, and a sense of worry crept into his heart. He knew that his two apprentices were not yet very strong; what if something happened to them?

However, he also knew that both of his apprentices had their own principles and beliefs. Since they had chosen to rush to the battlefield, it meant they were prepared. Wen Bin could only silently pray that they would be safe and sound.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield was becoming increasingly intense. The demonic beasts seemed to sense the Demon King's aura and grew even more frenzied. They relentlessly attacked the cultivators of the Floating Life Continent, attempting to annihilate them all.

Meanwhile, the cultivators of the Floating Life Continent were also fighting desperately against the attacks of the demonic beasts. However, their strength was ultimately limited, and most of them had already fallen in pools of blood. Those still standing were only alive because the cultivators of the Profound Heaven Continent had shielded them from the attacks.

"Roland, watch out!" Roman suddenly shouted. A monstrous beast suddenly charged towards Roland, its jaws snapping open to bite her.

Seeing this, Roland quickly raised his longsword and thrust it into the beast's mouth. The sword pierced through the beast's mouth, pinning it to the ground. However, the beast did not die; instead, it continued to struggle, trying to stand up.

Roland dared not be careless in the slightest. She gripped her longsword tightly and pressed down hard, trying to pin the monster to the ground. At the same time, she remained vigilant for other monsters around her, preventing them from launching an attack.

In this fierce battle, every cultivator was fighting with all their might for survival. They knew that only by uniting as one and resisting together could they hope to defeat these ferocious beasts and the demon king.

At this moment, Su An also stood up from the ground, her eyes firm and resolute, and charged towards the Demon King. She knew that this battle concerned the life and death of the cultivators of the Floating Life Continent and the Profound Heaven Continent, and she had to eliminate this Demon King as soon as possible.

The greatsword in her hand gleamed coldly in the sunlight as Su An fearlessly launched wave after wave of attacks against the Demon King. Each swing of her sword was imbued with immense power and determination. However, the Demon King's strength was ultimately overwhelming, and her attacks seemed utterly insignificant before him.

The Demon King easily dodged Su An's attacks each time, then swiftly launched a counterattack. Faced with the Demon King's attacks, Su An could only keep dodging while searching for its weakness. She felt a sense of urgency, knowing that if she couldn't find the Demon King's weakness soon, she and her companions would be in mortal danger.

During a skillful dodge, Su An finally discovered a weakness in the Demon King. She immediately seized the opportunity, her greatsword transforming into a bolt of lightning as she thrust it towards the Demon King's vulnerability.

"Pfft!"

With a muffled thud, the giant sword pierced directly through the demon king's body, severely wounding it. The demon king let out a shrill scream before collapsing to the ground. Its body gradually reverted to its beast form, becoming a majestic lion. Then, the demon king's corpse turned into a wisp of black smoke and vanished without a trace.

"Finally solved!" Su An breathed a sigh of relief, a tired but gratified smile appearing on her face. She knew that this victory was hard-won, the result of her and her companions' joint efforts.

However, she looked around and saw that there were not many disciples of the Xuantian Sect left.

At this moment, the cultivators of the Floating Life Continent also launched a counterattack. They joined forces to fight the remaining demonic beasts and quickly annihilated them all. Seeing that the tide had turned, the Demon Queen also vanished in a wisp of black smoke. This war between humans and demons had finally come to an end.

The cultivators of Xuantian Continent cheered and celebrated their victory. Meanwhile, most of the cultivators of Fusheng Continent chose to return to Fusheng Continent immediately.

Su An breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to heal her wounds. The battle had taken a heavy toll on her, and she needed to recover her strength as soon as possible.

As Roland passed by Su An, she whispered, "In the central region of the Ten Thousand Mountains, a forbidden area for demons, lies your way home." With that, she turned and left.

Su An was puzzled by Roland's words, but she didn't press the matter. She knew that everyone had their own secrets and missions, and perhaps there was some deeper meaning in Roland's words, but now was not the time to investigate.

Wen Bin looked at Roland as he approached and asked, "What did you just say to Su An?"

Roland replied, "It's nothing. I just said she's really amazing. Tell him to take good care of his injuries."

"Hmm, we didn't reveal any secrets, did we?" Wen Bin asked.

“No, absolutely not, Master,” Roland replied.

"That's good. Let's go to the Floating Life Continent," Wen Bin said.

"Master, aren't you going to expel us from the sect?" Roman asked softly.

Wen Bin looked at her, his face darkening.
