Chapter 167 Military Battle
In the battlefield, three eighth-rank demons were fighting each other.
However, while fighting, the two eighth-rank demons were not idle.
A demon with an eagle head and a human body suppressed the eighth-rank demon and said, "Zhang Lan, Bailin Country doesn't care about these people, why do you have to meddle in other people's business? You might as well retreat now and save your life."
The other demon was not in human form, but a terrifying giant ape, waving a stone stick and roaring, "What nonsense! This scum of Zhengjian Palace has killed two of our brothers! He will die here today!"
"Shut up!" The eagle-headed demon was annoyed and whispered, "This man has a deep cultivation base. Don't force him to fight with us. This time, we are kidnapping people--"
But before the eagle-headed demon finished speaking, the giant ape demon didn't listen and directly used his magical power to grab a hill next to the battlefield and pulled it out!
The hill was more than a hundred meters high and was lingering around. Standing on the top of the hill, you can see the beautiful scenery.
However, the mountain suddenly began to move.
The wild beasts in the mountain howled non-stop! The wailing sound could be heard by Li Qi from such a distance, but the ground began to tremble, and a silver light hundreds of meters long flashed in the mountains and hit the giant ape, but was directly grabbed by the giant ape's other hand and gently squeezed, and there was no sound.
"Haha, ninth-grade mountain god, it's fine if you don't run, but you dare to stop your grandfather?" The giant ape laughed loudly, but he threw back and threw away the silver lizard that he had squeezed to death.
The silver light dissipated, and there was only the rumbling sound of rocks in the ravine. The beasts that were still wailing were dormant and dared not make any sound.
Then, the mountain was pulled up completely! The ground cracked and the mountain collapsed! The rolling earth energy surged up, and the earth vein energy suppressed in the soil suddenly erupted, but it was all taken away by that magical power, turning into a long snake, hovering above the mountain.
Then, the giant ape waved the mountain and hit the eighth-grade cultivator fiercely.
The whole mountain, carrying the earth energy in it, smashed down in one fell swoop!
The eighth-grade cultivator, while resisting the interference of the eagle-headed demon, pinched his other hand and said softly to the mountain: "Go!"
As he spoke, he saw his lungs gushing out.
The lungs belong to gold, and the Gengjin Qi condensed in the lungs, turning into Gengjin sword energy, and was directly spit out with the exhalation.
All the energy of the exhaled airflow gathered, and what just came out was just a small golden sword, but it had only flown out for only twenty feet, and it gradually expanded, and the majestic sword intent gushed out like a river.
The sword light was unavoidable, and the sword energy rushed straight into the sky. The small golden sword gradually expanded until it was flush with the mountain, and then the two swords were drawn horizontally and vertically to form a cross.
The two swords directly cut the mountain into four sections!
Even a huge cross dent appeared on the ground, as deep as a canyon! The demons below all fled in panic. Those who fled slowly were directly cut into four pieces by the overflowing sword intent. The wounds were no different from the cross in the canyon, except for the difference in size.
Even the giant ape had a cross wound on his body. The wound was very deep, and blood rolled out, dyeing the ground red, and even turned into a small river, which washed away some military formations.
The giant ape fell to the ground for a while, unable to catch his breath.
"I told you not to push him!" The eagle-headed demon was angry, but his hands did not stop, casting magic.
He waved his hand, but saw that the demons below, like a tide, seemed to have received some orders. They formed a formation one after another, no longer charging, but forming a military spirit, condensing into a pile of earth and solid danger. Its color was black, and the air was round and round, and the red air was in it, like a rainbow, floating without wind.
The military spirit gathered, but was not used in the battle formation. Instead, it gathered in the hands of the eagle-headed demon, turning into miscellaneous air, like a flock of birds flying randomly, falling from the sky, obscuring the day, and covering the Gengjin sword energy.
The sword energy was originally bright and shining, but it was polluted by the miscellaneous air and immediately became dim.
The sword blade screamed! Even a few small gaps burst out, and the energy that exploded swept away, directly making a wide and clean sky appear in the center of the battlefield.
The energy that escaped even rushed downwards, but most of it was blocked by the condensed demon military spirit, and only caused a small impact on the demon formation.
Seeing this, the human officers immediately shouted at the top of their lungs: "Assault Battalion, follow me! Fight for Mr. Zhang's life!"
But they saw that about a thousand soldiers no longer defended, but rushed out without hesitation, fearless of death, and fought head-on with the demon tide.
In this battle, the military spirits of both sides were entangled and could no longer be separated. The Gengjin sword spirit finally escaped from the mixed spirit.
The human soldiers rushed into the demon position and temporarily entangled the opponent's military spirit, and could not work together to suppress the monk of Zhengjian Palace who was called Zhang Lan by the demon.
But the consequence of the forced assault was that a large number of soldiers were quickly lost, and the casualties increased rapidly, and there were constant wailing sounds.
About a dozen ninth-grade officers struggled to support on the battlefield, but the enemy was outnumbered, and they almost had to face twice as many enemy troops. A ninth-grade officer had to face two or even three ninth-grade demons at the same time.
It was difficult to support.
The losses in the war were constantly increasing.
It couldn't hold on for much longer.
Although the officers did not give up, they had begun to lose one after another. Officers were constantly killed, and their bodies were eaten by the demons who rushed up.
The flesh of the ninth-grade monks is a great tonic!
Although the eighth-rank cultivator named Zhang Lan in the sky said nothing, he still urged his sword energy and even used other magical powers to try his best to stop the two opponents of the same rank.
The battle situation was clear.
The defeat has been decided, and the more than 100,000 people behind him may not be able to save it.
These people were trembling, unable to hide or hide, some were crying, some were trembling, and some were trying to escape, but how could they escape from the overwhelming demons?
But, just at this moment——
In the battlefield, two golden lines, one bright and one dark, suddenly appeared!
The two golden threads stretched for several miles in an instant, stretching endlessly, shining brightly, as if they were real.
The golden thread quickly spanned a distance of three to four miles, and turned back again before all the soldiers and monsters below could react.
It only takes two breaths to come and go.
The golden thread slowly disappeared.
Instead, a large number of demons, hundreds of them, found themselves with two more blood lines on their bodies.
Then, as they moved, the blood lines gradually collapsed, and their bodies broke into several pieces without any notice. Even the muscles of these monsters were still twitching and their eyes were moving.
"I have help from an expert! Thank you Lin Ye, Commander-in-Chief of Bailin Kingdom! Brothers, come with me!" The demons in front of an officer's eyes were instantly cleared. He was immediately ecstatic and shouted at the place where the golden thread came from.
Then, he immediately picked up his spear and charged again without hesitation!
The demons were extremely panicked, and even some of the ninth-grade demon leaders began to retreat.
However, those two golden threads struck again.
However, in the sky, the eighth-grade eagle-headed demon narrowed its eyes slightly, and then tapped its lower part.
The soldier energy that he had extracted fell back again, and even strengthened. The demons' power suddenly became stronger, overwhelming the army.
The excess military energy is like an umbrella or a canopy, turning like a canopy one after another. Its power is as bright as a fortress, solid and unassailable.
The two golden threads hit it with a bang, their strength was greatly reduced, and they fell back, revealing their true appearance.
Anyone with good eyesight would be able to see that these two golden lines are two small knives flying through the air at extremely fast speeds, leaving a condensing trace that never disperses.
But now, the strength of the demon army has blocked these two knives, forcing them to be unable to attack.
However, the price the eagle-headed demon did so was that the monk named Zhang Lan finally had a chance to breathe.
He seized the opportunity, flew back, took out an elixir, drank it and refined it, and his injuries immediately healed a lot.
The giant ape that was originally knocked down stopped bleeding and got up.
It was originally a one-sided situation, but after the two golden threads penetrated, it became even again, and the offensive of the besieging demons was also stalled.
"Which fellow Taoist wants to meddle in the business here? Why don't you come out and see me?" The eagle-headed demon did not take any further action. Instead, it fell from the sky and stood on the shoulders of the giant ape.
"Roar!" As soon as the giant ape recovered, he roared angrily, picked up the stone stick and smashed it everywhere, and was about to charge at Zhang Lan, but after the eagle-headed demon stood on his shoulder, he had to suppress his anger, bared his teeth, and said angrily Looked around.
At this moment, in the sky, a dragon and horse came on the clouds. Sitting on it was a young man with slightly darker skin. He was neatly dressed and had an alert temperament. He held his hands in front of the three eighth-level experts and said hello: "Three." Senior, it’s our first time meeting you, I’m so polite.”
"Ninth grade? I saw that the magic weapon was of eighth grade. I thought you were also eighth grade. How dare you come here to meddle in your own affairs even though you are only ninth grade? Aren't you afraid of death?" The eagle-headed demon frowned, his expression unhappy, but he still didn't Take action.
The giant ape demon was more straightforward. He just stared at Zhang Lan angrily, as if he didn't care about anything else except him.
Zhang Lan was a little happy when he saw Li Qi's appearance, but after seeing Li Qi's cultivation, he sighed helplessly: "Little brother... you, oh, you better leave quickly. I'm here, they can't wait for a while." If you can't break through, take this opportunity to take as many people away as you can."
But Li Qi was unhurried, urging the old horse to fly forward, took a few steps forward, and said to the eagle-headed demon: "Senior, why are you so calm? Aren't you afraid that there will be support behind me?"
"Haha, you are quite interesting as a junior. If you don't have the confidence, do you think we dare to stand here?" the eagle-headed demon said with a smile.
He was not in a hurry to take action because the giant ape's injuries were still healing. Since he had already waited, he might as well wait until the giant ape recovered completely.
However, while the four people were talking, the situation on the ground battlefield below became increasingly unfavorable. The war that had just been fought back a little by Li Qi's help was pushed back by the demons.
"Oh, I understand." Li Qi clapped his hands, his expression suddenly clear: "Seniors who dare to take action, there must be more than just the two in front of you, right? There should be a stronger eighth-level demon who is raiding the formation for you nearby. By the way, he is monitoring everyone. If there is no strong person coming, or if there is any other accident, you will retreat immediately, right?"
"You are quite perceptive, but it's of no use. You are only a ninth-grade person, and you have no right to speak here. Get out of here." The eagle-headed man seemed to feel that the giant ape's aura had almost recovered, and waved to Li Qi.
Li Qi felt a heavy pressure fall. He hurriedly rode his horse to avoid it, but his energy followed him like a shadow, chasing him all the way.
It forced Li Qi to jump up and down, and he had no choice but to use two mouthfuls of gold energy. He tried his best to resist the injury, but the gold energy was slightly dim and somewhat damaged, and it would take two or three days to recover.
The gap was too big. Just a casual wave of his hand forced Li Qi to use all his strength to resist.
However, this surprised the other three people.
A mere ninth-grade person could actually block an eighth-grade blow?
Even if it's just a casual blow.
With this ability, no wonder others thought he was another eighth-grade demon.
"Hey, you have some ability, what about this?" The eagle-headed demon was interested and pretended to fight again.
Zhang Lan had recovered his breath and immediately made a move to intercept, but when Zhang Lan made a move, he was stunned for a moment and was a beat slower, and almost failed to stop the attack.
If he hadn't stopped it, Li Qi would most likely be beaten into the demon pile underground and be besieged by several ninth-grade demons.
But Li Qi was not in a hurry, and had no fear at all. He bowed and asked: "Senior, look back, is that your support?"
The eagle-headed demon was still laughing secretly at Zhang Lan's loss of composure, but when he heard Li Qi's question, he frowned and turned his head and looked back almost at the same time as the giant ape.
But he saw a clear and waning moon behind him.
In the clear light, a beautiful woman with a clear temperament stood in the clear light, holding a silver-haired mouse in her hand.
The expressions of the eagle-headed demon and the giant ape demon changed, and they were horrified!
The two of them did not hesitate at all, and they pinched their fingers in an instant, but saw that the eagle-headed demon immediately turned into a beam of light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The giant ape, which was extremely arrogant before, directly lay down, dug the ground and escaped, and its huge body melted into a yellow gas, and quickly escaped along the ground veins.
Zhang Lan wanted to chase, but was stopped by Li Qi: "Wait a minute, senior, don't chase the desperate enemy, the people are important."
Zhang Lan stopped, glanced at the battlefield below, nodded, and without saying much, he leaned over and rushed down, and began to slaughter those demons.
Without the support of the eighth-grade demon, and with the same army around him to entangle the military spirit, the battlefield immediately became a slaughterhouse.
Li Qi didn't think much, fell down, and manipulated the golden energy. The two golden lines moved and turned on the battlefield, making circles and circles.
Zhang Lan was even faster. He flicked his finger and countless sword qi crisscrossed and plowed the battlefield in the blink of an eye. These ordinary demons could not compete with him at all.
If the demons simply condensed their military qi, it would not be impossible to compete with them with military qi, but at this time, the demons' military qi was entangled by the military qi of the human army, which meant that they had nothing to protect themselves. Facing the eighth-grade, they would only be slaughtered.
Shen Shuibi, on the other hand, had not moved much since she appeared, and looked dazed.
After a few minutes, the battle was over, and all that was left was to clean up the battlefield.
