Chapter 175: Chapter 177 Siege Battle

Mu Can was utterly unaware of the shock his actions had brought to those around him.

A severed head held in his hand was still alive; Zheng Ming almost stumbled and fell when he saw the head of the Demon Lord.

As a Saint Heir of the Sect, he certainly knew how incredibly powerful one must be to live without a body, an existence terrifying enough to match his master’s cultivation. But now, it was in Mu Can’s hands.

"Hehe, it looks like things aren’t going well for you?" The Demon Lord woke from his slumber, opening his eyes and instantly understood the situation as he gazed at the dark masses of the Demon Clan army.

"Clamorous." Mu Can coldly said as he looked at the Demon Lord.

"Today, I brought you out to let you watch with your own eyes how this army of the Demon World soldiers will be annihilated," Mu Can said coldly with a smile, holding out the head of the Demon Lord. This was partly to intimidate those from the Demon World, and partly to boost the morale of his own troops.

The one-to-ten strength comparison was enough to chill the soldiers on the city walls; displaying the head of the Demon Lord at this moment had a significant effect in boosting morale.

Soldiers were already stealing glances at the head Mu Can was lifting.

"Is that the Demon Lord? Doesn’t look scary at all."

"They talk as if he’s terrifying, but now he’s just bald like an egg, nothing frightful."

"No, the power of the Demon Lord can crush everyone here; there have been precedents where a Demon Lord broke through a city guarded by a Martial Saint alone," a soldier aware of the Demon Lord’s power quietly countered.

Mu Can suddenly lifted up the head of the Demon Lord, "This is the Demon Lord of the Demon Clan, nothing more. Do not fear, as long as they dare to invade, we will annihilate them all."

Mu Can suddenly shouted out loud.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" The morale of their side was instantly elevated, as soldiers roared, driving fear out of their bodies.

"My Lord Demon Lord!" The Demon Clan soldiers obviously noticed this scene on the city walls, a weak figure holding an imposing head, which had been sealed by the Reincarnation Pearl into the size of an ordinary person’s head, now watching the distant Demon Clan army with an indifferent face.

As if he didn’t take Mu Can’s words to heed at all.

The soldiers of the Demon Clan were clearly disturbed, it seems the head of a Demon Lord had greatly shocked them.

"Die! Die! Die!" The frenzied elder also shouted loudly, with miraculous visions manifesting behind him, quite surreal.

"Martial Saint!" Zheng Ming whispered, the highest combat power on the surface of the Mortal World. When a Martial Saint operates their Cultivation, there will be visions related to their own Domain.

That crazy old man who easily knocked him down like a dead dog turned out to be a Martial Saint. Who exactly is this mysterious youth, and the mysterious woman who easily blocked all his Sword Qi, holding the head of a Demon Lord? From Zheng Ming’s perspective, the head in the youth’s hand was indeed a true Demon Lord, and he wondered why someone had sealed it.

"Little friend, are you confident in defending this city?" The Golden Armor General asked, feeling certain about Mu Can’s exceptional identity and immediately inquiring.

The Golden Armor General’s question revealed that he was not very confident about defending the city himself.

"General, rest assured." Mu Can nodded. If he couldn’t defend the city here, there would be no talk of resisting the invasion of the Demon Clan.

"General need not worry about me, you may command the battlefield, but please rest assured and leave the high-end combat power to me." After a pause, Mu Can continued.

Mu Can knew his strengths; he could fight, but commanding a war was indeed a bit too much for him. He understood the principle of specialization well.

During the conversation, the chaos in the Demon Clan army across slowly subsided. A major characteristic of the Demon Clan is obedience; in strength inferior to others, obedience to the strong has become a deep-rooted habit in the Demon World, which also created an issue — the Cultivators of the Demon Clan often unleash formidable combat power in team battles.

"Kill them all, leave no stone unturned." The highest commander of the Demon Clan army, a Demon Clan person with an odd appearance shouted. There are two types of Demon Clan people, one type resembles ordinary mortals with greyish and black skin. The other type, with peculiar appearances, generally retains humanoid forms but looks bizarre and typically boasts much stronger power.

The highest commander of the Demon Clan army loudly proclaimed, this city is the first tough nut to crack that the Demon Clan encountered after descending into the Nanyuan Empire. As the commander of the Demon World Vanguard Army, he must take this city. Only by conquering the satellite cities of the Nanyuan Empire Capital could they attack the Capital itself.

According to a Great Power of the Demon World silently recovering, these satellite cities form a massive Array, spanning nearly half of the Nanyuan Empire and protecting the Capital, hence the Demon Clan dispatched forces to each satellite city to break through the external defenses and then attack the Nanyuan Empire Capital.

Only by conquering the Nanyuan Empire Capital would the whole Nanyuan Empire fall under the Demon Clan, and then the Nanyuan Empire could serve as the first base of the Demon World Demon Clan in the Mortal World.

"When we take down this city, heh, I’ll claim the merit," The Commander of the Demon Clan suppressed the excitement in his heart. As for who knows if the head of the Demon Lord he held was just picked up cheaply after a battle, such incidents had happened before.

The Commander of the Demon Clan guessed right. Mu Can had indeed taken advantage while the Demon Lord had just completed the Heavenly Tribulation.

"All units, prepare." Upon seeing the Demon Clan’s movement, the Golden Armor General immediately ordered, battle drums sounded - these drums, imbued with a Spiritual Array, were the strongest catalyst, instantly boosting the morale of all soldiers on the city wall, filled with the will to fight.

Upon the command, numerous catapults and huge crossbow arrows were ready, the front-line archers all began preparing to attack orderly, without the slightest panic despite the enormous number of the Demon Clan.

"Let’s prepare as well!" Mu Can instructed in a low voice. Having promised the Golden Armor General, Mu Can was determined to follow through fully.

"Be careful." Mu Zi inclined a glance at Mu Can and advised. With his Immortal Venerable Level body, it wasn’t easy to get hurt here, so he was only concerned about Mu Can’s safety, given that war is different from competition, where conditions on the battlefield can change in an instant, and even a Martial Venerate may find it tough to face a relentless and fearless charge.
