However, no matter how hard Di Haoao tried or how fiercely he unleashed his power, he still couldn't match the brilliance of Lin Xuan and Little Yu.
On the contrary, because he was too reckless, he often failed to dodge in time and ended up getting injured, making himself look even more disheveled.
Long Xinxin was also very worried and often supported him, hoping he would steady himself, but it was no use—he wouldn't listen.
There was no denying that Di Haoao made significant contributions, but without comparison, there would be no sense of inadequacy.
Lin Xuan's efficiency in clearing the wild beasts was two or even three times higher than Di Haoao's, and he barely took any damage, which meant he could keep going for a long time.
As for Little Yu, while dealing with Demon Son Su Luo, she could also simultaneously annihilate the surrounding demon beasts.
Not only was she not at a disadvantage, but she even seemed to have the upper hand, with Su Luo retreating step by step.
Who would still pay attention to Di Haoao?
This time, although the demon beast army suddenly attacked with overwhelming force, they clearly underestimated the strength of Yunzhu City.
Moreover, the alliance through marriage had brought in forces from various factions, further bolstering Yunzhu City's power.
The demon beast army hadn't gathered enough intelligence.
This was normal—sometimes the demon beast army would scout for information, but more often than not, they would just charge headlong into battle.
Who cared about alliances or events? All they wanted was slaughter.
Slaughter was the instinct of the demon beast army.
So now, the demon beast army was essentially marching to their doom.
Just as the human forces were advancing triumphantly and unstoppably, the demon beast army wasn't about to be easily wiped out.
Suddenly, a barrage of stones fell from the sky.
Some people managed to dodge, but others couldn't.
These weren't ordinary stones—they were demon beasts, and their fall wasn't random but followed a specific trajectory.
The falling stones began to assemble, forming a massive stone giant.
And it wasn't just one—more stones kept falling and merging.
"What is this thing?"
"This doesn't look good. We've never seen anything like this before."
"There are a lot of things we haven't seen today. Whatever it is, destroy it!"
A group of people began attacking the stone monsters, but all they heard was a clanging sound, with no effect whatsoever.
Even spells cast on the stone monsters left no trace.
"Di Haoao, what is this thing? How do we kill it?"
At times like this, everyone turned to Di Haoao, as he was the expert in such matters.
But Di Haoao was stunned—this was the first time he had seen such a demon beast.
"I don't know," Di Haoao instinctively replied.
But as soon as he said it, he regretted it. Everyone was counting on him.
At such a critical moment, his words offered no confidence but instead cast a shadow of doubt over everyone.
"Let me try," Di Haoao said decisively.
Relying on his years of experience fighting demon beasts, Di Haoao launched an attack on the stone monster.
But even he returned empty-handed—his powerful strikes couldn't inflict any damage.
This thing was too sturdy.
The stone monsters moved slowly, but a single punch from them was enough to crush a Foundation Establishment cultivator into pulp. Even a Golden Core cultivator would suffer severe injuries if hit.
They absolutely couldn't let these demon beasts wreak havoc on the battlefield.
Di Haoao dodged while thinking of a way to deal with them.
As time passed, the destruction caused by the stone monsters grew. If they weren't stopped soon, more people would be injured.
"We can't hold on any longer, Di Haoao. Hurry up!"
"Someone, stop these stone demon beasts!"
"Members of the Emperor Heaven Sect, aren't you supposed to be experts on demon beasts? Think of something!"
Di Haoao was also anxious, but he had tried many methods, and none worked.
Before he knew it, Di Haoao was surrounded by stone monsters.
Fists from all directions came crashing down at him, and Di Haoao barely managed to dodge.
But suddenly, a stone monster's arm flew out, heading straight for Di Haoao's back.
No one expected the stone monster to have such a move, and Di Haoao couldn't dodge it. He was struck solidly by the flying fist.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
The stone monster raised its hand again, preparing to smash Di Haoao.
Long Xinxin rushed to help, but even she was powerless and couldn't get Di Haoao out of the stone monsters' encirclement.
At the critical moment, Lin Xuan unleashed his "Three Thousand Flaming Strikes," knocking all the stone monsters to the ground.
"You all retreat. Leave this to me."
Long Xinxin said, "Thank you. Hold on, I'll go get help."
With that, Long Xinxin took Di Haoao and left. There was no time to hesitate, or everyone would be in danger.
The stone monsters fell to the ground, but as long as they reassembled, they could get back up.
Now it was Lin Xuan's turn to be surrounded.
But Lin Xuan was no Di Haoao.
Darting between the stone monsters, Lin Xuan effortlessly suppressed them with each move.
However, suppression wasn't enough—he couldn't kill them.
But he wasn't Di Haoao; he was Lin Xuan.
With his vast knowledge and imaginative analysis, he quickly found the stone monsters' weakness.
"Use water first, then fire. That will make them brittle!" Lin Xuan shouted, revealing the solution.
Everyone followed his instructions, and the results were excellent.
"Lin Xuan, you never disappoint us."
"Brother, you're amazing. I can't believe you figured it out."
"Thank goodness for you, or we would have paid a heavy price."
Once again, Lin Xuan became the center of everyone's admiration.
Di Haoao, who had recovered somewhat, realized that someone else had already found the solution.
The stone monsters that had given him such a headache were so quickly defeated.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or upset.
"That's great. These damned stone monsters—I'll get my revenge," Di Haoao said, but deep down, he was filled with resentment.
Why was he so useless that he couldn't even find the stone monsters' weakness?
"You..."
Long Xinxin wanted to stop him but decided against it.
She would just protect him properly.
Long Xinxin followed him.
...
Su Luo's sword couldn't withstand more than a few strikes before shattering, but he always managed to pull out a second sword and continue fighting.
"Perhaps you should use a better sword," Little Yu thought to herself, planning to find a good sword for Su Luo in the future.
"Your kindness is appreciated, but for me, it's all the same," Su Luo replied.
Besides, Su Luo wasn't without a good sword—he had the "Xia Ying" sword given to him by the Demon Lord, though he hadn't used it yet.
That sword was indeed powerful, but a single strike from it might split Yunzhu City in half.
These ordinary swords would do.
"In that case, I won't hold back," Little Yu said.
She took a deep breath, adjusting her breathing. Each breath seemed like a ritual, gathering power.
The spiritual energy in the air danced with her breaths.
Then, like an arrow released from a bow, Little Yu charged at Su Luo.
"Ridiculous. How dare you talk to me about holding back? Let's see how I deal with you," Su Luo retorted.
He spoke fiercely, but when it was time to act, he still had to put on a show.
Meanwhile, the surrounding demon beasts only glanced at them before being cut down.
