41: War breaks out

Silently and without warning, thirty-five Silver Armor Dao Soldiers, controlling the Earth Element, transformed into thick stone armor covering their bodies. Then, they emerged from underground, attacking from outside the battle circle.

With stone armor covering them, each Silver Armor Dao Soldier was about ten feet tall and completely devoid of life aura, appearing like ghosts. They killed any monster they encountered. Especially now, with the Doujian Peak Disciples in a chaotic melee with the monsters, neither the monsters nor the Doujian Peak Disciples noticed these Dao Soldiers with no aura, neither living nor dead, suddenly appearing.

Above the sky, the two Elders, Zhang Kui and Elder Lu Zifu, displayed their Divine Might, fighting three opponents with two. They battled the Demon Tiger, suspected to have cultivated into a Mountain Lord, the Giant Python about to transform into a Flood Dragon, and the Golden-haired Giant Ape. Even so, they still held the upper hand.

They struck the Demon Tiger, causing it to roar angrily towards the sky. They struck the Giant Python, causing blood to spill across the sky. The Golden-haired Giant Ape was the strongest of the three, wielding a black iron spear like a beam, carrying Wind and Thunder, causing the sky to shake with roars like thunder. The terrifying protective energy that brushed past caused mountains to collapse and the earth to crack.

Many monsters were torn apart by the residual protective energy of the Giant Ape's iron spear, and some Doujian Peak Disciples were also injured by mistake. Fortunately, the two Elders, Zhang Kui and Elder Lu Zifu, were taking care of them.

Otherwise, the Doujian Peak Disciples would not have just been accidentally injured; they would have lost their lives directly.

Above the sky, no one could intervene in the great battle between the Elders and those powerful monsters. In the mountains, many Doujian Peak Disciples were also fighting fiercely.

"Poof!" A dog demon roaring and charging towards a Doujian Peak Disciple was instantly smashed in the head by a suddenly appearing tall stone figure before it could completely pounce, and then it was sunk into the ground and disappeared.

"Poof!" Another huge Demon Wolf, black as ink, bared its fangs and howled, fixing its gaze on a Doujian Peak Disciple surrounded by monsters, intending to launch a surprise attack and deliver a killing blow.

However, at the same moment, a Silver Armor Dao Soldier abruptly extended a large hand from beneath the ground, violently grabbed the Demon Wolf's hind leg, and dragged it underground. An iron fist struck down, smashing the Demon Wolf's head.

Scenes like these, where Dao Soldiers continuously appeared and swiftly killed monsters with lightning speed, constantly occurred on the periphery of the great battle.

However, the scope of this melee was too vast, and no one paid attention. Not to mention the Doujian Peak Disciples, who were at a numerical disadvantage, even the monsters, who had an absolute numerical advantage, did not notice.

Powerful Xuan Fa Realm monsters were clashing with Doujian Peak Xuan Fa Realm Disciples, fighting from the ground to the sky, and even from the sky into the ground, creating astonishing commotion.

But at this Realm, it is extremely difficult to eliminate an opponent of the same Realm, unless the difference in strength is truly vast. However, as beings of the same Xuan Fa Realm, capable of roaming the universe starry sky, even monsters have Bloodline inheritances, so how could they be completely suppressed?

Meanwhile, the battle between Tong Qiao Realm monsters and Doujian Peak Tong Qiao Realm Disciples was the most brutal. Monsters were constantly being killed, and Doujian Peak Disciples were also constantly being surrounded and torn apart by more monsters.

Fighting was everywhere, a chaotic melee was everywhere. Perhaps one moment they were in the Eastern Region, but the next moment they might have fought their way to the sky, or even to the South. The boiling monster energy, the terrifying spiritual energy, sword energy, Spiritual Artifacts, everything was wantonly releasing its power.

This was a life-and-death struggle; either the monsters were annihilated, or the Doujian Peak Disciples died. There was no room for chance.

Even Lu Chen, who had Escape deep underground, encountered monsters and Doujian Peak Disciples who had fought their way from the ground to beneath the ground several times, but he concealed all his aura and hid to the side, so he did not attract attention.

Occasionally, severely wounded monsters would hide in the depths of the ground and be seen by Lu Chen. He would also strike without mercy, piercing them with a sword, his movements swift and precise, without any deviation.

At the same time, he constantly shuttled through the depths of the ground. Whenever a Dao Soldier killed a monster and sank it underground, he would appear immediately and collect it into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

In just half an hour, his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin was piled up with Monster Corpses like a small mountain.

The lowest were Tong Qiao Realm monsters; Lu Chen already looked down on Spirit Transformation Realm monsters.

His comprehension of Earth Element True Intent was too deep, having reached the fourth layer of Earth Element True Intent. Even Xuan Fa Realm monsters or Doujian Peak Disciples, even those who cultivated Earth Element, might not be able to compare to him.

Therefore, his situation was extremely safe, and he could not be considered a deserter who avoided fighting, because his Silver Armor Dao Soldiers were slaughtering everything on the ground.

Although thirty-five Silver Armor Dao Soldiers were not a small number, among the far more than a thousand monsters and over five hundred Dongming Sect Disciples, they were not at all conspicuous.

But perhaps it was precisely because the Silver Armor Dao Soldiers were killing too ruthlessly that the thirty-five Silver Armor Dao Soldiers finally attracted the attention of many monsters.

"Damn it, there are insidious and cunning guys hiding underground and launching sneak attacks. Let's kill these sneaky bastards first." A Tong Qiao Peak Demon Monkey roared, its body, which was about ten feet tall, swelled and enlarged, its eyes crimson, its muscles terrifyingly knotted, and it charged fiercely towards a Silver Armor Dao Soldier.

At the same moment, over a hundred Demon Monkeys roared and howled, surrounding the thirty-five Silver Armor Dao Soldiers and charging forward.

"These evildoers have noticed!" Lu Chen whispered from underground, but he was not flustered at all. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.

It's better this way. How could killing them one by one be as fast as over a hundred Demon Monkeys attacking together?

Moreover, these hundred Demon Monkeys should all be the monkey descendants brought by that Golden-haired Giant Ape. Each one had astonishingly abundant vital energy and monstrous aura soaring to the sky. Killing them like this is even better, because the corpses of such monsters are most suitable for nurturing Dao Soldiers.

"Boom!"

Underground, the powerful Earth Element gathered around the thirty-five Silver Armor Dao Soldiers, forming layer after layer of bronze walls and iron barriers, surrounding the hundred Demon Monkeys.

At the same instant, between heaven and earth, countless sparks surged, finally transforming into a torrent of raging flames, roaring across the earth. Mixed with the Earth Element that trapped the Demon Monkeys, it was like lighting a fire in a pot, burning and annihilating everything.

"Roar! Damn it, this insidious and cunning Doujian Peak killer's Spell is so powerful! Break out!" The Demon Monkeys roared towards the sky, trapped by the bronze walls and iron barriers formed by the Earth Element, and burned by the raging Fire Element. They immediately fell into chaos and roared in all directions.

"Kill them all, leave none alive." Lu Chen quietly transmitted his thoughts, and the thirty-five Silver Armor Dao Soldiers instantly transformed into killing gods in the sea of fire.

They silently merged into the sea of fire, into the bronze walls and iron barriers formed by the Earth Element, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. Every time they appeared, they would fiercely smash the chest or head of a Demon Monkey with their incomparably ferocious and unmatched strength.

This was almost a one-sided slaughter.

Within the domain of the Fire Element and Earth Element, the combat power of the Silver Armor Dao Soldiers was terrifyingly strong, driving many Demon Monkeys to despair.

Even with monstrous aura soaring to the sky, even swinging iron rods to shatter one bronze wall and iron barrier after another formed by the Earth Element, dispersing the raging flames, it was still useless. The power controlled by these Dao Soldiers was almost inexhaustible.

Even more terrifying was that the Silver Armor Dao Soldiers, possessing immense strength and indestructible bodies, silently merged within, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. The Demon Monkeys simply could not resist. In just a short while, over a hundred Demon Monkeys were killed, their Howling, no longer having the slightest will to fight. They wanted to escape, but no matter what, they could not escape the sea of fire and the bronze walls and iron barriers forged by the Earth Element, and could only await the slaughter by these Dao Soldiers.

"I've profited, I've profited greatly!" Lu Chen was busy shuttling underground collecting corpses, watching the Monster Corpses in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin pile higher and higher, his eyes shining!

These are all treasures...
