Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 1063 - 1073: Establishing the Safe Zone

The Black Tiger Demon General is a Nine Tribulations Demon, immensely powerful beyond compare. It could easily crush all the experts of the Great Chu Empire without any difficulty.

If Chu Feng were without his Demon Body, he would also be smashed to pieces.

It is simply impossible to subdue it.

Boom!

At this critical moment, Chu Feng directly threw out a Ninth Grade Flame Burst Elixir for self-preservation.

After the explosion, Chu Feng had vanished.

On the ground, only some demon soldiers who were blasted to death and some Great Demons who were injured remained. The power of the Ninth Grade Talisman Elixir is enough to pose a major threat to Great Demons.

"Roar!"

The Black Tiger Demon General let out an angry roar.

"Damn, that kid escaped!"

Its acting, though not top-notch, was quite convincing. Plus, the Wind Wolf Demon, who was monitoring it, had also been subdued by Chu Feng, so deceiving the Two-headed Lion Demon King was not difficult.

The other Great Demons were bombed into disarray.

"Don't let this demon catch that damn human kid, or I'll definitely bite him to death!"

"Biting him to death is too cheap; he must be torn to pieces!"

"Yes, at least tear him into pieces as small as fine scales, ensuring every piece is the same size."

The other Great Demons yelled and roared one after another, each more vicious than the last.

The Two-headed Lion Demon King was very satisfied with their performance.

"This battle cost my king a great general; I will not let that kid off. To borrow a human saying, one can escape the monk but not the temple!" The Two-headed Lion Demon King had already reverted to human form.

He looked like a burly man, tall and mighty. However, he had two heads on his neck, one with red skin and the other with blue, making him appear quite strange.

"Rat Soldier Camp, hear the order: immediately investigate the true state of the Great Chu Empire and find out which city the Emperor of Great Chu is hiding in? At that time, I'll personally lead the army to destroy him."

"As you command!"

A group of small-statured Rat Demons responded loudly.

Though rats are timid and small, they are naturally adept at hiding and can burrow underground. They adapt well to various complex environments, and their ears are quite useful.

They are the perfect choice for gathering intelligence.

A large group of Rat Demons surged towards the border cities of the Great Chu Empire.

They seized the opportunity to enter the cities and borders of the Great Chu Empire, gathering intelligence.

...

Chu Feng fled all the way back to Wuguang City at the border.

This city is extremely close to Tiandian City and guards a crucial throat passage. Demons are extremely brutal; if they were to occupy cities and regions, humans would surely suffer.

"The Emperor has returned!"

"Emperor Chu, are you alright?"

Wen Shu, Northern Soul, and others warmly greeted him outside the city. After fleeing back, their biggest worry was Chu Feng.

Because Chu Feng had single-handedly lured away the most formidable Two-headed Lion Demon King.

There was no other choice in the matter.

In the Great Chu Empire, only Chu Feng had the ability to safely escape from the pursuit of the Two-headed Lion Demon King.

"Thank you all for your concern. I have only suffered minor injuries, and it is not serious. This time, it was my severe underestimation of the Two-headed Lion Demon King's power that caused such significant casualties. But slaying the first Demon General under the Two-headed Lion Demon King's command is a worthwhile outcome."

Chu Feng's Sword Shadow Worm, having devoured the Purple Weasel Demon's Demon Core and Poison Sack, curled up and entered a dormant state.

It was digesting and absorbing the energy of the Purple Weasel Demon's Demon Core.

This is a Demon Core at the peak of the Nine Tribulations Demon; once refined, it is believed to be enough for it to advance to the Great Demon Realm.

"Emperor, what is our next move?" Wen Shu's face was filled with concern. "The Two-headed Lion Demon King has suffered such a loss; he will certainly not let it go easily. He may launch a frenzied retaliation, attacking our cities in the Great Chu Empire."

Chu Feng had already foreseen this, and his mood was similarly heavy.

At present, the Great Chu Empire, even with all its national strength combined, is unable to contend with the Two-headed Lion Demon King; he is the weakest among the Three Great Demon Kings.

It is unimaginable what would happen if the Three Great Demon Kings of the demon race joined forces to attack; Divine Martial Continent might not have a single nation capable of resisting.

Humans have lived too comfortably for years, remaining stagnant, with very poor crisis awareness.

Before the great invasion of demons, many held optimistic views, arrogantly believing that humans could easily suppress the demon and demon clans once more.

Yet now, when they've only showcased the tip of their strength, humans are already in grave danger.

"The situation does not allow for optimism; we must prepare for the worst! Discuss with the group of advisors and develop two plans. First, prepare to hold the border cities and passes firmly, especially key choke-point cities like Wuguang City. Keep the demons outside the national border to ensure the safety of the Great Chu Empire's citizens. The second plan, the worst-case scenario, involves the Azure Dragon City with the strongest defense formation. Even with the demon race's strength, it would be difficult to breach."

"If we reach that point, let all the elites in the Great Chu Empire retreat to Azure Dragon City. But there is a very dire issue that requires advance planning. The capacity of Azure Dragon City is limited, so you must strictly calculate which level of elites can bring how many family members inside."

Chu Feng's vision has always been far-reaching, with deep foresight.

Currently, humans throughout Divine Martial Continent are in a vulnerable position, while the demon and demon clans are terrifyingly strong.

The Great Chu Empire must establish an absolute sanctuary to survive resiliently.

"The Emperor's foresight is admirable! I, too, am impressed. I will immediately convene the civil servants and strategists to devise two practical plans based on the Emperor's policy direction. As for specifics, we can refine them step by step. Additionally, can we think of ways to create more safe cities like Azure Dragon City? Even if their defenses are weaker by a level or two, being safer than ordinary cities makes them very advantageous."

"If there is only one Azure Dragon City, pushing those less elite elites or the families of the elites out is like handing them over to the demons, which is rather inhuman."

Wen Shu is very shrewd and capable.

This suggestion is excellent.

Chu Feng's eyes brightened, highly affirming: "Wen Shu, your plan is great! Establishing several safer cities behind Azure Dragon City to accommodate elite families and potential elite individuals can encourage top elites to fight harder and more courageously."

After reaching consensus on this matter, Wen Shu continued.

"Wuguang City has already set up a Level 5 Magic Formation; it should not have a problem resisting the Two-headed Lion Demon King's attacks."

"We can use the strong cities and formations to engage in a prolonged battle with the demon race. Perhaps, the strong individuals from Sword Immortal City will step in to join the fight soon. We humans still have great hope."

The Four Great Super Forces and Sword Immortal City represent the pinnacle of human existence.
