```But the Earth Demon King was powerful, striking the incoming Flying Sword with just one palm and hand, laughing mockingly as he said, "Sword Control Technique? It's not yet skillful enough, not even enough to scratch my fur. Go back and practice for a few hundred more years. Oh no, you no longer have the chance."
"Hahaha..." The gang of demons circling in mid-air kept up their jeering laughter, pointing and gesturing. If the Earth Demon King hadn't wanted to toy with that Female Inner Sect Disciple, they might have already swooped down.
"Following Lord Demon King on a rampage, we've indeed had our fill of flesh and blood, but we've yet to taste the delicate flesh of a female disciple. I wonder how that would taste!"
"Hee hee, we'll soon find out that flavor, as the Hades Devil Emperor will soon slay that resisting Divine Transforming Female Cultivator above."
The Earth Demons fantasized endlessly, making various strange noises as they spoke, akin to the singing of resentful women, emitting bewitching sounds meant to confuse the mind and erode the will.
Even though such tricks were useless against the skilled, several injured disciples below succumbed to these wiles in an instant.
Listening to that soul-entrapping melody, several injured female and male disciples below began to look dazed, their eyes unfocused as if they had lost their senses.
Their souls seemed to drift, dissociating as if about to leave their bodies, their inner beings a void, as if abandoned by the world, leaving them in a hollow state.
With hundreds of Earth Demons emitting a demonic chorus, even Yang Ji felt slightly affected due to his concentration, let alone the disciples whose mental fortitude was not as strong as his. Their eyes grew hollow, resembling walking corpses, having lost their souls and becoming lifeless.
"Hee hee, these humans are so weak, falling prey to our demon sonic once it's released!"
"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"
In the sky, the Divine Transforming Female Cultivator battling the Hades Devil Emperor sensed the scene below and unleashed her sound wave divine skill, echoing the word "Wake up" everywhere in the void.
The echoing sounds, like the surging waves of the ocean, came in tumultuous waves, resonating in the very depths of every Dao Sect Disciple's soul.
In just a moment, the Dao Sect Disciples who were confused by the Earth Demons awakened suddenly, looking around in astonishment and quickly recovering after realizing their lapse.
They found themselves eating stones, gnawing on mud, performing all sorts of inconceivable acts, leaving them utterly embarrassed.
"Damned human woman, how dare you disrupt our entertainment. We'll make sure to devour your flesh later, making you wish for death while in agony!"
"Hee hee, that's food for our Lord Demon Emperor, do you dare to overstep?"
The awakened disciples on the ground, hearing these mocking words, had eyes filled with killing intent, yet felt helpless and exasperated.
"Sister Liu, what should we do? With so many Earth Demons, we're surely doomed!"
The Nascent Soul Third Realm Liu surnamed Female Inner Sect Disciple stood in front of her peers, wielding her Flying Sword, slicing through with fierce sword light, repelling the provoking Earth Demon Kings one after another.
Hearing her junior's question, she quickly said, "Don't be afraid, we have already sent out a Life and Death Talisman for rescue. Perhaps our rescuers are already on their way."
"Sister, with so many Earth Demons, we probably won't last until the Sect's rescue arrives; we'll have been poisoned by then."
"Junior Sister, don't speak such disheartening words. To fight the Earth Demons, we must have confidence. If your mind shows weakness, that is precisely when the Earth Demons can strike. We must believe we can overcome the Earth Demons. Keeping our minds free of weaknesses, even numerous demons are just whetstones. Isn't our purpose here to train ourselves?
Remember, never give up on yourself," urged Sister Liu sternly.
"Hee hee, help? Stop deluding yourselves." Sёarᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Fear, tremble! The more negative emotions you have, the more excited we become. It makes you tastier to consume and bolsters our strength."
The speaking Demon Kings were strong, novice Earth Demon Kings, their aura even stronger than the three Earth Demon Kings that Yang Ji had previously slain.
"That Female Inner Sect Disciple looks like she can't hold out much longer. Although she's in the Nascent Soul Third Realm and her moves are exceptionally sharp, she practices Water Attribute Cultivation Technique and spells, which can hardly damage these tough-skinned Earth Demons. She'll exhaust herself eventually at this rate."
"At this point, even if I were to go and get reinforcements, it would be too late. By the time I return, they might all be reduced to a pile of bones."
Yang Ji's brow furrowed as he gave the command to the Buddha Child to go and get help with the Life and Death Talisman while he prepared to face off against the high-level Earth Demon King.
With equal rank in battle, he feared not even the high-level Earth Demon King, as the newly acquired Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth gave him courage.
The Buddha Child, recognizing the severity of the situation, immediately followed Yang Ji's command and went to the base to seek aid from an elder.
Just as the Buddha Child had departed, an unexpected change occurred on the battlefield below.
"Bang!"
A loud explosion sounded as the Female Inner Sect Disciple was hit by the Earth Demon King and fell from the sky. With a splutter, she spat out a large mouthful of blood, her vitality instantly withered, and she was clearly gravely injured.
"Sister Liu!"
The child disciple surrounded her immediately, shielding her with his body.
"Hee hee, I've grown bored. It's time to end this!"
The high-level Earth Demon King descended from the skies, his black robe flapping noisily, stirring a cloud of dust and ash that obscured everyone's sight.
"Hee hee, beautiful girl. You managed to fight with me for three hundred rounds despite recently advancing to the Nascent Soul Third Realm. Truly a rare beauty with both looks and talent; I'll be sure to dote on you well afterward."
