211: Battle of the Saints

Yun Li's expression also darkened.

"They want to eliminate Her Excellency Xin Huo before she can fully mature! What speed, what cruel methods! Her Excellency Xin Huo has only been in this world for half a day."

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "No matter, the Human Race's experts will absolutely not stand by and do nothing!"

As Lu Xingchen expected, the old man behind Kindling snorted coldly, "You Demon Race scoundrels, you strike fast! But with this old man here, you won't even touch a single hair on Kindling!"

With that, the white-haired old man also sent a palm strike upwards.

A pure white Dou Qi Hand Seal flew upwards, clashing with the Dark Magic Handprint (dark magic hand seal).

A massive Qi wave erupted, then was blocked by the Spirit Formation defenses on Demon-Rejecting Pass.

The white-haired old man did not retreat a single step; instead, he gritted his teeth and contended with this Demon Race Saint.

Ten seconds later, two more dark magic hand seals broke through the air and struck towards Kindling.

Two more Demon Race Saint powerhouses had made their move!

A furious roar echoed within Demon-Rejecting Pass: "Evil Path demons, how dare you offend Her Excellency Xin Huo."

An earthy yellow Dou Qi Hand Seal appeared above the city wall, clashing with the magic hand seal.

The one who struck was a Chosen One of the Human Race, Chosen Eleven, Tower of Heavy Defense!

Immediately after, a fiery red Dou Qi Hand Seal appeared.

Chosen Twelve, Blade of Blazing Sun!

The contest between the two sides was not yet over.

The Demon Race's camp erupted with three more powerful forces; three more Demon Race Saint powerhouses appeared.

The magic hand seals above the city wall reached a total of six.

But the Human Race was not to be underestimated either.

The commander of Demon-Rejecting Pass, Xu Chengyang, made a decisive move!

A greenish-blue Dou Qi Hand Seal appeared above the city wall, joining the fray.

At the same time, a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation appeared on the city wall.

Demon-Rejecting Pass's city-protecting Spirit Formation, the Nine Dragons Demon Slaying Formation, was activated.

Nine golden yellow spiritual energy Dragons flew into the sky, confronting the magic hand seals.

Kindling's arrival, in just half a day, had drawn out six Demon Race Saints, and the total number of Saints from both Human and Demon sides who made a move exceeded ten.

It was truly terrifying!

From this, one could also see how much the Demon Race Saints valued Kindling.

Although the Saint-level combat power of both sides was six to five, with the Demon Race having a slight advantage, they still couldn't break through the Human Race Saints' defenses.

After an hour of clashing above the city wall, the six Demon Race Saints all withdrew their magic power and retreated to the Demon Race's camp.

Although there were more than six Demon Race Saints, not all of the Human Race's Saints had made a move either.

Continuing the stalemate would not yield any results.

The Demon Race Saints merely wanted to try their Luck and did not expect to easily eliminate the Human Race's Kindling.

As the Demon Race Saints retreated, the Human Race warriors on Demon-Rejecting Pass finally let out a sigh of relief.

The pressure they generated during their battle was truly terrifying!

"We won, we won! The Demon Race has retreated!"

"This was a complete victory! The Human Race warriors suffered almost no losses, while the Demon Race lost tens of thousands of troops. All of this is thanks to Her Excellency Xin Huo!"

"These Demon Race people are truly shameless, directly deploying six Demon Race Saints to target Her Excellency Xin Huo. I'm afraid almost all the Demon Race Saints in the Demon Abyss have arrived, right?"

"Was it useful? Not at all! Our Human Race's Chosen Ones are not to be underestimated either."

"Long live Her Excellency Xin Huo! Long live the Chosen Ones!"

Lu Xingchen also gasped, saying in a deep voice, "Damn, the Demon Race is really ruthless! I've never seen so many Saints in my life."

Yun Li nodded heavily: "They all came for Her Excellency Xin Huo. This is enough to show the importance of Her Excellency Xin Huo; she embodies the hope of the Human Race."

Lu Xingchen said with a smile, "With Her Excellency Xin Huo assisting in the battle, this fight will be much easier for us."

As the Demon Race army dispersed, the members of Cangxuan Sect also returned to their dormitories to rest.

Lu Xingchen immediately sought out Division Commander Wang Peng, with whom he had some acquaintance, and went straight to the point: "General Wang Peng, have you heard any news about Her Excellency Xin Huo?"

Wang Peng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "I know a small part. Commander Xu Chengyang convened a meeting of all powerhouses at or above the Division Commander level and introduced Her Excellency Xin Huo."

"But at that time, I was too far away and couldn't clearly see her face. I only know that her name is Lin Wanqing, and her voice is gentle and pleasant."

"Huh? Lin Wanqing?"

Lu Xingchen was completely stunned, as if struck by five bolts of lightning.

His wife, who had been out of contact for many years, was also named Lin Wanqing. Could she be the same person as Her Excellency Xin Huo?

It's possible, very possible!

In his previous life, Lu Xingchen had also read many web novels.

In novels, the people the protagonist usually befriended were those with profound backgrounds and extraordinary talent.

And on Tianyuan Continent, he was a Transmigrator.

Compared to those Chosen Ones, he was the true Child of Luck, possessing great Opportunity.

If he were currently in a Xuanhuan novel, then he would definitely be the protagonist!

The matter of his wife being Kindling was highly probable!

Lu Xingchen immediately said in a deep voice, "General Wang, could you please help me deliver a message to Her Excellency Xin Huo? Just say that Lu Dazhuang of Dayan Kingdom wishes to see her."

Hearing this, Wang Peng frowned.

"Isn't your name Lu Xingchen? What the hell is 'Big Strong One'? Her Excellency Xin Huo holds a noble status; how could a Seventh-Rank Sect Disciple like you meet her? Lu Xingchen, you should stop daydreaming."

Lu Xingchen touched the Storage Ring on his hand, and the chiyang sword appeared in his hand.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "I have a close friend who has been out of contact for many years, and her name is also Lin Wanqing. I'm afraid she might be the one who was above the city wall just now."

Lu Xingchen did not mention his relationship with Lin Wanqing.

If this matter were to spread, it would surely cause a storm of trouble!

Hearing this, Wang Peng was greatly surprised.

"You mean, you might know Her Excellency Xin Huo?"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly: "Although it's a very small probability, it's not impossible. This is the token of my friendship with Lin Wanqing, the chiyang sword. Please, General Wang, help me present it."

"If Her Excellency Xin Huo recognizes this chiyang sword, she should come to find me herself. If she doesn't recognize it, then it means I've mistaken her for someone else."

Wang Peng took the chiyang sword and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I will help you present it!"

At the same time, in the Demon Race's Demon Abyss, the Demon Race army was recuperating.

The Demon Abyss was a military base built by the Demon Race army to contend with the Human Race's Demon-Rejecting Pass; it was the Demon Race army's main camp.

At this moment, in the Demon Abyss's main commander's tent, 38 Demon Race experts were gathered.

Seated at the head was a voluptuous demoness named Ning Mengqi, who hailed from one of the 36 Demon Pillars, the Succubus Race, and was also the supreme commander of the Demon Race army.

Hailing from the Succubus Race, she possessed many skills for conquering men, but what earned her even greater respect was her military talent that suppressed an entire era!
