This was the last thing Shen Wang wanted to see.

When faced with the siege of two Demon Kings, he had been prepared in advance and wasn't afraid.

But if those two Demon Kings attacked others, he would be at a disadvantage, unable to protect everyone.

"If they go inside to attack, how can we stop it?"

Shen Wang muttered, clenching his fist, and the Life-Devouring Species hidden among the broken corpses at the edge of the Array were activated, suddenly growing a mass of vines that quickly transformed into Vine Armor, blocking the frontal attack, so these people wouldn't be killed in one blow.

His intervention allowed the panicked crowd to breathe a sigh of relief, and they all hid behind the vines to counterattack.

However, this split some of their firepower, weakening their resistance against the Demon Beast army outside.

One could say that the Black Panther King's tactic of attacking from behind and encircling us worsened Shen Wang and his group's predicament.

Zheng!

A sword light descended from the sky, directly cleaving toward the Red Flame Tiger King.

The latter stopped its Flame Breath and leaped to the side, but the sword light quickly pursued, forcing it to use claws and teeth to engage in a melee with the Flying Sword.

This was Yun Lingshu making her move.

The area she was responsible for was adjacent, and she understood the principle of interdependence; she couldn't just stand by. By holding off one Demon King, she could prevent this sector from collapsing too quickly.

The Black Panther King couldn't harm Shen Wang and sneered at him: "If you won't come out, then prepare to bury the other two-legged beasts."

Transformed into a shadow, he charged at the crowd. Shen Wang frowned, urging the vines to try and snare him, but the Black Panther King's speed was too great, and the vines couldn't stop him.

"Ah!"

Wherever the Black Panther King went, screams followed, as someone got their head sliced open by a claw, dying swiftly and brutally.

"Black Panther, there's no need for us to clash!"

His face turned grim; he could bear the collapse of the defense line, but not the Black Panther King playing with him and the others, especially slaughtering his subordinates right in front of him.

"You two-legged beasts deserve to die anyway. If you're so indignant, come fight this king!"

Seeing Shen Wang's displeased expression, the Black Panther King only grew more excited and gleeful. This was exactly what he wanted—to see Shen Wang flustered.

Best if Shen Wang couldn't resist and rushed out, only then could he deliver the killing blow.

"Looking for death, thinking I can't deal with you!"

Shen Wang's expression turned cold, emerald light surged around him, he unleashed more Mana, causing the surrounding vegetation to go wild, growing at an accelerated pace.

Thorns sprouted from all directions, growing along the defense line, consuming the corpses of the Demon Beast army, precisely where the cultivators resided.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

One sharp thorn after another swiftly wrapped around the Black Panther King, forcing him to dodge, unable to get close and slaughter humans.

Seeing the corpses along the line become nourishment for Shen Wang's Magic, the Black Panther King's pride faded, opting for ranged attacks, but all were obstructed by the vines, achieving no effective damage.

For a while, even the two Demon Kings couldn't overcome Shen Wang and his companions.

"Roar!"

The Red Flame Tiger King, ensnared by Yun Lingshu's Flying Sword, roared angrily, and soon a dense horde of Demon Beasts, his summoned followers numbering in the thousands, appeared at his flank.

These Demon Beasts had no sense of chivalry, paying no regard to one-on-one combat, and charged from the flanks.

This scene made the crowd, who had just taken a breath, look grim once more.

Yi Feng glanced at Shen Wang: "Master Shen, there are too many Demon Beasts; they're attacking us from within, it's too hard to hold them back."

Others also harbored thoughts of retreat; they were unwilling to be slaughtered by Demon Beasts vastly outnumbering them.

"It should be about time."

Shen Wang felt that they had defended far longer than most defenses, and with the internal attacks from the Demon Beasts on other defenses, even if they retreated, no one could say a word.

He said to Yun Lingshu: "We can't hold it any longer, should we prepare to retreat?"

"We have to retreat."

Yun Lingshu said helplessly. They were already struggling to fend off the external Demon Beast army, and now with tens of thousands more coming from within, who knows how many more are on the way, if they don't leave, surrounded by the Demon Beast army, they truly won't be able to escape.

Shen Wang and Yun Lingshu both ordered a retreat, and the crowd moved to converge away from the direction where the Red Flame Tiger King had summoned the Demon Beast army, retreating to the rear left.

Before they left, they added some Spirit Stones to the Array, pushing the power of the Array Barrier to its maximum to block the external Demon Beast army for some time, avoiding additional pursuers during the retreat.

As the group began to leave, a piercing eagle cry exploded, followed by a group of birds gathering into a black cloud charging over.

Another wave of Demon Beasts was coming.

Leading them was the Eagle King, speeding faster than the vanguard Beast army, charging forward with a fierce wind, casting fierce eyes over everyone.

"It's over; even these birds have set their sights on us."

"Run! If we're slow, we'll definitely die here."

The orderly troop immediately fell into chaos, with some timid ones not caring about others and quickening their pace to flee.

Shen Wang hadn't anticipated these birds coming as well. Seeing more and more Demon Beast armies, it was becoming difficult even to think of escaping safely.

"Kill these people!"

The Red Flame Tiger King roared, the Eagle King's gaze fell on Shen Wang as if seeing prey, darting over.

Shen Wang, who was preparing to leave, didn't expect another bird to get involved. This one charged even faster, the vines were too slow to block, Shen Wang had to meet it head-on with his spear.

Crack.

The spear was snapped by the eagle's claws. Shen Wang dodged the follow-up attack sideways, while a dozen or so nearby thorns tangled forward immediately.

The Eagle King flapped its wings and deftly flew away, the thorns were still a step too slow.

This time, a large number of birds appeared, pouncing on the retreating cultivators, a melee ensued immediately, and the group couldn't extricate themselves, while the trailing Beast army also charged forward. Facing close combat with Demon Beasts outnumbering them several times over, without the protection of the Array, casualties occurred instantly.

Seeing the chaotic scene, Shen Wang's gaze fell on his daughter and others who were entangled, knowing that if they continued to be pinned down, once the outside Demon Beasts broke the Array to come in, the situation would worsen.

"You can't escape now!"

The Black Panther King did not forget to demoralize the group with words, while charging into the crowd, targeting the weak, killing a few, and then turned his gaze to Shen Wang: "Now you can't escape!"

Yun Lingshu couldn't hold off so many Demon Beasts either, she could only say: "Retreat with your own abilities, regroup at the branch line!"

She charged out with her Flying Sword, and others, less powerful than her, couldn't rid themselves of the Demon Beast army at all.

"Shen Wang, why are you still here?"

Seeing Shen Wang unmoving, Yun Lingshu shouted.

"If I leave, you won't be able to escape."

Shen Wang replied, he was a Wood Avatar, able to merge into the vegetation at any time to leave, no need to rush.

Moreover, he was targeted by both the Eagle King and the Black Panther King. The Red Flame Tiger King had failed to chase Yun Lingshu and turned to target him, making escape not so easy.

Shen Chuxue, seeing her father unmoving, was a bit anxious.

"What are you looking at, ignore him, he's a Golden Core Cultivator, not so easy to die. Let's get to safety first."

Han Wan'Er urged her Magical Artifact to barely fend off a Demon Beast, shouting to Shen Chuxue.

"I know."

Shen Chuxue raised her hand, launching Ice Needles one after another, puff, puff, puff, the Ice Needles possessed significant destructive power, killing several Demon Beasts in succession.

"Your Magic is this powerful."

Han Wan'Er was surprised.

"Hurry up."

Shen Chuxue didn't explain much, taking the opportunity to steer clear of the Demon Beasts. If her father truly encountered danger, she could make a move accordingly.
