The disciples of Mozi Academy numbered only five hundred thousand, completely unmatched against the numerous Demon Beasts.
Moreover, after the fierce battle just now, the Inner Courtyard disciples were either dead or wounded, and the ground was littered with the corpses of Mozi Academy disciples in all directions.
A young lady, Bai Yue, was seen kneeling on the ground, crying over the body of the deceased Elder Bai in front of her.
As the roars of the Demon Beast Army rose, expressions of terror appeared on the faces of all disciples.
Seeing the familiar elders and disciples now turned into cold corpses, Wang Yan's eyes chilled, and a murderous intent appeared on his face.
Upon seeing this, Elder Si Qin knew that Wang Yan was already enraged. However, given the current power of the enemy, a peaceful resolution would be the best ending.
Therefore, Elder Si Qin hurriedly advised, "Wang Yan, don't chase a cornered enemy. The lives of all disciples are of utmost importance."
Wang Yan nodded and said, "Elder Si Qin is right."
Seeing Wang Yan agree with Elder Si Qin, the Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao relaxed, thinking Wang Yan would let it go.
Unexpectedly, the murderous intent on Wang Yan's face did not diminish, but rather intensified when looking at the Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao.
Seeing this, the Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao shuddered and said, "You... do you really intend to fight to the death?"
Wang Yan coldly replied, "The fish will die, but the net will not break."
With that, Wang Yan pointed to the entrance of the Blazing Flame Cave and said, "Seal the entrance."
As soon as he finished speaking, eight Venerable Tier Soldier Puppets dashed forward, blocking the entrance to the Blazing Flame Cave.
Sealing the entrance meant cutting off the Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao's escape route.
Seeing this, the Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao was both furious and anxious, shouting, "Wang Yan, do you really want us dead? If so, then let's die together."
With that, the Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao let out a furious roar, plunging into the Demon Beast Army below.
Looking at the five hundred thousand injured and disabled disciples of Mozi Academy before it, the Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao angrily said, "Wang Yan, you'd better think this through; these mere humans, killing them is too easy for us."
At this, Elder Si Qin and others were shocked.
If they had let the Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao leave just now, they wouldn't be in this irreconcilable state. But now that the Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao was desperate, there might not be many of Mozi Academy's five hundred thousand disciples left.
Moreover, Wang Yan actually sent eight powerful subordinates to guard the entrance to the Blazing Flame Cave, which would further weaken their own side's strength, wouldn't it?
At this point, Elder Si Qin and others didn't have time to blame Wang Yan for his youthful recklessness; they immediately shielded the disciples.
However, the Demon Beast Army was too numerous, and even if they put in their full effort, they couldn't fully ensure the safety of all disciples' lives.
At that moment, Wang Yan's figure flashed, standing before the five elders and countless disciples, facing the Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao.
With five million Blazing Flame Flood Dragons behind it, the Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao had confidence. Upon seeing Wang Yan, it merely snorted and said, "You humans have a saying, goes something like you won't cry until you see the coffin."
Wang Yan nodded and said, "You said it right, this is precisely for you."
The Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao snorted, "Fine, then let me see who this fits better."
With that said, the Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao roared, "Charge!"
Upon hearing the Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao's command, seven Half-Venerable Demon Beasts led millions of Blazing Flame Flood Dragons in a charge.
Seeing this, Elder Si Qin and others immediately steeled themselves, preparing for a grim battle.
But just then, Wang Yan raised his right hand, and the Soul-Breaking Spear appeared in his right hand. With a flicker of the black spear sakura, a hundred thousand black shadows suddenly flew out, charging straight toward the millions of Blazing Flame Flood Dragons in front.
Upon seeing only these hundred thousand black shadows, the Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao let out a sneer.
"Human, is this your trump card? Now, not only will I kill everyone, but I'll also have you dead!"
The Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao had anticipated that Wang Yan might have some last resort.
But upon seeing Wang Yan summon only a hundred thousand, it paid no mind.
With a wild roar, it commanded the millions of Demon Beasts to charge even more fiercely.
At that moment, those hundred thousand black shadows flickered, landing before Wang Yan, immediately creating tens of thousands of giant shields in front, standing side by side like a wall blocking the path of the Demon Beasts.
As the millions of Demon Beasts charged forward, they collided with these gigantic shields, unable to stop in time, causing chaos among themselves.
Among the millions of Demon Beasts, half were Vampire Bats, which flapped their wings to take flight, trying to fly over these shields.
But then the sound of bowstrings echoed, followed by a rain of arrows flying out from behind the shields, descending onto the Demon Beast horde.
The Vampire Bats just taking off were immediately shot down by the falling long arrows, tumbling from mid-air.
At this moment, other Demon Beasts were still attempting to ascend, colliding with the falling Vampire Bat corpses in mid-air, creating chaos.
Arrow rain incessantly fell, each wave consisting of tens of thousands of arrows.
Amidst the pandemonium among Demon Beasts, seven or eight waves of arrows had already fallen, with nearly half a million Demon Beasts struck by the arrows, suffering heavy casualties.
Seeing this, the Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao furiously shouted, "Attack the shields ahead, while those on the sides scatter and circle around."
Upon hearing the Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Jiao's order, the Demon Beast Army began to regain some order.
Immediately, the Demon Beasts closest to the shields started attacking them, while those on both sides bypassed the shields, rushing toward the flanks.
But at this moment, tens of thousands of black shadows suddenly charged out from both sides of the shields, attacking the Demon Beast Army.
The lead Blazing Flame Flood Dragons were taken aback, seeing that those charging at them were actually their own kind — Blazing Flame Flood Dragons.
Yet upon closer inspection, these Blazing Flame Flood Dragons were somehow different, for these Blazing Flame Flood Dragons surprisingly had humans riding them.
Momentarily, the Blazing Flame Flood Dragons became confused, unable to understand why their kin were being enslaved by humans.
Emerging from behind the shields were the Jiao Cavalry.
Seizing the moment of confusion among the Blazing Flame Flood Dragons, the Jiao Cavalry charged into their ranks.
Though few in number, the Jiao Cavalry resembled a sharp dagger, tearing apart the Demon Beast Army.
The entire Demon Beast Army fell into disarray, retreating like a receding tide after being struck by the Jiao Cavalry.
Furious beyond measure, the Venerable Flame Jiao realized that the Jiao Cavalry before it were refined from the souls of deceased Blazing Flame Flood Dragons.
At once, the Venerable Flame Jiao roared, "Do not retreat, kill them, kill them!"
But no matter how much the Venerable Flame Jiao shouted, the Demon Beast Army had lost its will to fight, scattering in all directions.
The Venerable Flame Jiao, enraged, soared above the Demon Beast Army, shouting loudly, "Do not retreat! Retreating is a path to death!"
Before the Venerable Flame Jiao could finish speaking, an icy voice echoed beside it: "Even if you don't retreat, you'll still meet your end."
Startled by the voice, the Venerable Flame Jiao turned its head quickly.
Standing beside it was Wang Yan.
Seeing this, the Venerable Flame Jiao's eyes turned crimson with fury, roaring, "It's all because of you, human! I will kill you and avenge my kin."
With that said, the Venerable Flame Jiao charged at Wang Yan.
Observing this, Elder Si Qin and the others fixed their gazes on Wang Yan.
By this battle between Wang Yan and the Venerable Flame Jiao, they wished to discern Wang Yan's current level of cultivation.
