While Li Xiu was pondering, the Radiant Black Death Demon suddenly let out a piercing screech towards the sky.
The next second, he saw billowing black smoke at the ends of the four streets surrounding him, with hordes of Demon Spirits emitting black light charging towards him like a tide.
Without a second thought, Li Xiu turned and retreated into the small stone house, letting the Pink Nightmare, Demigod Shana, and Jedi Knight block the outside, while the Love God Shooter drew his bow.
As soon as they were ready, the swarm of Radiant Demon Spirits already charged up.
They were all Radiant Demon Spirits; not a single shining spirit among them, each emanating black light and smoke, rushing forward one after another.
The Pink Nightmare rammed into a Radiant Demon Spirit, its horn piercing through its chest, pushing forward with it.
But after a few steps, it could no longer advance, as hordes of Radiant Demon Spirits flooded forward, forcing the Pink Nightmare to retreat.
Black light lashed at the Pink Nightmare like a whip, causing it to kick out with its hooves, sending nearby Radiant Demon Spirits flying.
An ant might bring down an elephant if there are enough. Moreover, these were Radiant Demon Spirits, not weak ants.
Demigod Shana fired continuously with one hand, while the large sword in the other, blazing with blue light, frantically slashed down, quickly killing a dozen Radiant Demon Spirits.
But more Radiant Demon Spirits rushed up from behind, and Demigod Shana activated a frenzy mode.
The Love God Shooter kept drawing his bow, arrows entwined with blue-purple Demonic Light striking Radiant Demon Spirits, causing them to turn temporarily against their own, giving the Pink Nightmare a chance to breathe.
The Jedi Knight was the last line of defense at the door, slashing out Blood Light Slash, cutting the charging Radiant Demon Spirits in half.
There were too many, just too many, it was impossible to kill them all. The circle of Demon Spirit defense was shrinking, while the spirits rushing from the end of the street grew more numerous, almost filling the four streets.
"This isn’t working; we can’t hold out. They’ll break through." Li Xiu realized the situation was dire and decisively gave an order to Demigod Shana.
Receiving the command, Demigod Shana abandoned defense, charging straight towards the direction of the Radiant Demon Spirit.
He leaped high, continuously shooting, each bullet hitting the head of a Demon Spirit.
The spirits with blasted heads were pushed by others from behind, not falling, and Demigod Shana ran wildly on top of the Demon Spirit crowd.
As he ran and shot the Demon Spirits underfoot, the black light whips flying at him were severed by the large sword in his hand, swiftly charging towards the Radiant Demon Spirit.
Seeing the charging Demigod Shana, the Radiant Demon Spirit’s eyes burned with black light like flames, letting out another screech.
The Radiant Demon Spirits blocking Demigod Shana parted to open a path, allowing him to reach the Radiant Demon Spirit.
Li Xiu didn’t have time to focus on Demigod Shana’s battle; only the Jedi Knight was left guarding the door, gripping his sword with both hands and repeatedly slashing Blood Light Slashes, killing the Demon Spirits rushing in.
But as the ones in front fell, more rushed in. The Jedi Knight hadn’t the chance to build up for another Blood Light Slash, forced to use normal slashes.
Arrows of light struck the foremost Demon Spirits, causing them to turn on their comrades, giving the Jedi Knight time to breathe and slash out another Blood Light Slash.
A crescent blade light cut into the Demon Spirit horde, slaying seven or eight in a straight line before disappearing.
Such brutal slaughter felt like a drop in the ocean; the slain Demon Spirits were quickly engulfed by the horde, which continued charging forward.
Retreat, retreat again, the Jedi Knight had already backed into the doorway, and outside, the crazed Demon Spirits crashed like waves.
Li Xiu drew out the Fire Lotus Sword, slashing at the Demon Spirits’ arms reaching into the door. Under the rush of adrenaline, super excitement, and the Dark Curse, this slash severed the Radiant Demon Spirit’s arm, causing a momentary pause.
Though holding his breath, Li Xiu was still engulfed by the black smoke, black spots growing all over his body, forcing him to quickly retreat, staying as far from the black smoke as possible.
The Pink Nightmare was surrounded and immobilized by the Demon Spirit horde, almost devoured, forcing Li Xiu to summon it back quickly.
The Pink Nightmare turned into a pink light, returning to Li Xiu’s finger, where he saw fine cracks on the Pink Apatite-like Demon Spirit Ring.
Without the Pink Nightmare to block, the Jedi Knight faced increased pressure, with the stone house’s door about to fall.
If the horde broke through, in the confined space, there’d be no room for combat skills, they’d be overwhelmed by Demon Spirits.
Prepared for a desperate fight, Li Xiu suddenly saw the Jedi Knight ignite with red light flames.
The Jedi Knight’s dark red armor, in the red light flames, shone like heated steel, glowing red as if injected with a luminous agent, just like the Samurai Sword in his hand.
Every slash he made became a Blood Light Slash, and even regular slashes carried Crescent Blade Light, eliminating the need for time to build up.
Slash after slash, severed limbs and fragments of Demon Spirits flew everywhere, forcibly holding the horde outside the door.
"Is this the Desperate Skill?" Li Xiu felt a surge of excitement. The Jedi Knight stood at the gate, with an imposing presence as if he could withstand a thousand attacks alone.
