My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me

Chapter 382 - 235: Niu Zhenyuan

After a period of rest, the Eastern Demon Sect’s army quickly regrouped and launched another attack.

They had already invested too many resources into eliminating this branch of the Demon Suppression Army. If they saw no results, every Demon Cultivator would have to answer for the failure.

The Flying Ship Fleet renewed its fierce assault.

This time, they had learned their lesson. They first used the Demon Summoning Array to summon Great Celestial Demons before beginning their attack on the Demon Suppression Army.

Under these circumstances, they had to offer a massive amount of blood food to the Great Celestial Demons to placate them enough to assist in assaulting the array.

This assault was far more intense than the last, and they managed to destroy five of the outer Tier Two Arrays. The Eastern Demon Sect also lost four Flying Boats, two Yin Evil Spider Demons, and three Starfall True Demons.

One Starfall True Demon, unwilling to be used as cannon fodder, even turned and charged the Eastern Demon Sect’s own formation. It crushed countless Power Demons before the Eastern Demon Sect killed it in turn.

The Demon Suppression Army’s resilience exceeded the Demon Cultivators’ expectations, forcing them to retreat and regroup.

The miserable screams of Celestial Demons echoed from the retreating Flying Boats. Of the Power Demons that had directly assaulted the Grand Array on the battlefield, scarcely any had escaped without injury.

Even the High Tier Dragon Power Demons had all sustained serious injuries.

If even a Great Celestial Demon like a Starfall True Demon could barely survive on the battlefield, what hope did Tier Two Celestial Demons like them have?

An overpowering stench filled the large central cabin of the Flying Boat. A crowd of Ox Power Demons, their bodies covered in severe burns, was crammed together. Some of them were so grievously injured they no longer even had the strength to cry out.

They were the lucky ones. Many more Celestial Demons had been incinerated by the swarming Fire Crows.

Because so many Flying Boats had been lost, the only way to carry away all the surviving Celestial Demons was to cram them into the cabins of the remaining vessels.

In a corner, an Ox Power Demon whose life force was fading, finally succumbed to the severe corrosion of the Yang Fire and died without a sound. The Ox Power Demon beside it immediately began to eagerly devour its fallen comrade, refining the Demonic Qi from its flesh and blood.

The Spiritual Eye Object on the Flying Boat had to supply more power to the various Restrictions, leaving the cabins almost devoid of Demonic Qi. What little Demonic Qi was drawn in from the outside was almost instantly snatched up by the High Tier Elephant Power Demons and Dragon Power Demons.

Their quarters were in the outer sections, and they were not packed together like these lowly beasts.

The low-ranking Ox Power Demons could only recover from their injuries by devouring their own kind.

Yang Jing was hidden among this herd of Ox Power Demons. He focused on refining the Red Yin Death Demon imprisoned within his Inner World, converting the resulting Spiritual Mechanism into his own Magical Power.

He had used the Inconstant Illusionary Form Technique to transform into an Ox Power Demon. The Demon-Catching Tripod hanging from his belt released an illusory Nine Illusion Mirage Demon Qi, elevating the technique’s effect to the peak of perfection.

Even the Ox Power Demons pressed up against him had no inkling that the companion in their midst was a disguised Cultivator.

Yang Jing had considered disguising himself as one of the Eastern Demon Sect’s Demon Cultivators. However, those Demon Cultivators all carried Identity Jade Tokens and were familiar with one another, which would make impersonating one of them exceedingly difficult.

The lowest-ranking Ox Power Demons, on the other hand, were a different story. These Celestial Demons had the lowest status and suffered heavy losses in every battle. Their original unit structures had been completely shattered long ago, making it a flawless opportunity to disguise himself as one and slip in among them.

Just as he was thinking he would be able to infiltrate the Demon Realm this smoothly, the cabin door was suddenly thrown open, and two swaggering Dragon Power Demons strode in.

The Ox Power Demons, already huddled together, immediately scrambled back in fear to make way for them.

These two Dragon Power Demons had the menacing heads of Demon Dragons on humanoid bodies. Their hands and feet were vicious claws, they stood a full ten feet tall, and their bodies were covered in Demon Scales and clad in menacing Demon Armor.

They were even more powerfully built than the Dragon Power Demon Yang Jing had previously slain.

Before these two Demons, even the Ox Power Demons, who were quite large themselves, looked like stunted children.

One of the Dragon Power Demon’s cold, vertical pupils scanned the crowd. Then, each of them grabbed an Ox Power Demon and opened their blood-red maws to bite. An Ox Power Demon’s tough hide could resist a Magical Artifact wielded by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, but under the Dragon Power Demons’ sharp teeth, it was as fragile as paper.

In an instant, the massive ox head was torn to shreds by the Dragon Power Demon.

The sound of fangs grinding against the Ox Power Demon’s hard skull reached the ears of every other Ox Power Demon in the cabin.

All the Ox Power Demons fell deathly silent, not daring to make a single sound.

A moment later, the two Dragon Power Demons had devoured the entire Ox Power Demon, hide, bone, and all.

They let out satisfied belches. The constant fighting with no blood food to replenish their energy had left them ravenous.

While Ox Power Demons didn’t taste as good as the Cultivators from the Nine Heavens World, they would do in a pinch to sate their hunger.

"You, you, you, and you. The few of you worthless beasts, get out here."

The two Dragon Power Demons wiped the Demon Blood from the corners of their mouths, pointing a finger at one after another. They wanted to bring some blood food back for their comrades as well.

The pointed-at Ox Power Demons looked utterly devastated, as if their world had just ended.

Yang Jing’s expression darkened. He had been pointed at as well.

He discreetly activated the Demon-Catching Tripod, and an inconspicuous wisp of Five Elements Demon Qi entered the nostrils of the Ox Power Demon beside him. A flicker of confusion crossed that Ox Power Demon’s eyes, which then turned to despair. Like a walking corpse, it rose to its feet and walked over to the two Dragon Power Demons.

Although the Dragon Power Demons saw that it wasn’t the exact Ox Power Demon they had pointed to, the total count was correct. So, they took out a chain, bound the five Ox Power Demons, and swaggered away.
