187: Emergency Military Situation Demon Riot (asking for monthly ticket)

Demonic clouds obscured the sky, and the earth rumbled.

Above, eight monstrous faces, with blood-red eyes and fangs, roared wildly amidst the Devilish Qi.

Below, countless strange and ferocious Demon Soldiers surged like a tide, rolling forward.

On the mountaintop, the mountain wind howled. Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, activating his Dharma Eye to scan the eight Heavenly Gate Devils shooting out from the Devilish Qi.

They were all in the Dao Soldier Realm, but the Devilish Qi of these Devils guarding Weiyuan Prefecture seemed more dangerous than those stationed in county towns.

Eight of them!

But there were also five people on their side.

With the multiple Seventy-Two Fiend Divine Ability he currently mastered, coupled with his Dharma Eye, Physical Body, and peak Dao Soldier Realm, it wasn't difficult to face three or four Devils simultaneously.

It was just that the countless Demon Soldiers, like a swarming tide, were not to be feared in the hundreds, but in the thousands, even a Dao Soldier Realm expert would not dare to easily test their might.

Moreover, the five of them had traveled two thousand li overnight, and their strength was not at its peak. Chen Yuan had to consider them.

He already had a plan in mind and quickly moved his lips, sending a voice transmission to the four.

The four Sect Heavenly Gate experts either looked solemn or had sharp glints in their eyes, and they all nodded in unison.

Then, shouts began to rise.

Li Guanyi of Fulong Temple formed a Zi Wu hand seal, chanted 'Azure Heaven's Decree,' then struck upwards and shouted:

"Grand Supreme Celestial Star, ever-changing and ceaseless!"

"Fog, rise."

Instantly, a thick white fog emerged from the Void Realm, as if there was a fog eye, rolling out.

At this moment, Yun Chuxiong of the Yun Family took a deep breath, puffed out his cheeks, and then blew towards the mist in the sky.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

A strong wind blew out from his mouth, rapidly dispersing the mist and spreading it in all directions.

Yun Kun of Benlei Mountain stomped his foot, and his body vanished from its original spot. Qingyangzi of Shu Mountain Sword Sect, meanwhile, held a zither and began to pluck its strings.

The mist quickly engulfed the other four, and they disappeared.

Within the vast white fog, a glimmer of restless light suddenly appeared in Chen Yuan's eyes. A suppressed dangerous Aura surged with the light. When the mountain wind blew, it was like blowing across a blade buried in dust, its sharp edge fully revealed!

He swept his long spear downwards, and the spear tip emitted a sharp tremor, revealing a brilliant blood-red cold glint. That was the color stained by the blood of countless Devils and enemies.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Its light rapidly ascended section by section along the spear, and Chen Yuan's Aura also rose steadily with each clang.

Soon!

Soon!

That was a chasm spanning the Fourth Heavenly Gate!

Golden flames burned fiercely in Chen Yuan's eyes. He stomped his foot, shot up from the ground, breaking through the clouds and mist. The Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear in his hand was like a cold star, pointing at the hundred-zhang-tall monstrous demonic cloud. The eight monstrous faces on it simultaneously shot out captivating cold light, and the thousands of Demon Soldiers below let out ferocious roars.

The next second,

"Boom!"

At the boundary where the black Devilish Qi and white mist met, a golden light, like a giant club, fiercely stirred the demonic cloud.

It directly smashed a thirty-zhang-wide hole in the demonic cloud.

In the middle of the demonic cloud, Chen Yuan's Dharma Eye shot out two golden lights, like two large lamps, sweeping upwards.

Amidst the layers of demonic clouds, eight enormous, ferocious-eyed, fanged Six Mountains Devils were entrenched in the high heaven. Within the demonic clouds, banners fluttered, and the sound of war drums boomed. Demon Soldiers, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, leaped down from the clouds, rushing towards Chen Yuan!

Chen Yuan's gaze was fiery as he surveyed all this. His golden great wings spread behind him, and his long spear danced with a whistling wind, soaring upwards as if treading on the highest heavens.

He swung and spun his long spear, and the Void Realm shrieked. Dozens of Demon Soldiers "thump, thump, thump" instantly exploded, turning into balls of blood mist.

This caused the Banshan Tiger Talisman in his Niwan Palace to vibrate wildly.

As a trail of blood mist exploded, the eight Devils in the high heaven finally couldn't sit still.

Among the eight Devils, the one perched highest, a Devil with blood-red fleshy wings, a human face, white eyes, and an unusually long neck, stared at the golden armor below with its eerie white eyes. It opened its mouth wide and spat out a white flame, which surged downwards with a whooshing sound. It didn't emit terrifying high temperatures; instead, it carried a bone-chilling coldness.

The other seven, from their elevated positions, also unleashed their Divine Ability!

Instantly, terrifying Aura filled the sky, surging downwards and striking the golden armored giant that Chen Yuan had transformed into.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan let out a roar. He suddenly threw his long spear towards the high heaven, piercing out a dazzling golden arc, as eight streams of light simultaneously struck.

The long spear parried!

A sharp ringing sound erupted.

The Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear burst forth with an incomparably brilliant blood-red light, flickering rapidly!

At this moment, four streams of light shot out from the white mist, simultaneously striking a Heavenly Gate Ear Mouse.

That human-faced, rat-headed Devil, the Ear Mouse, let out a startled, ear-piercing shriek. Its attack stopped, and it turned its head. Its incredibly large ears flapped like wings, blowing out two howling tornadoes to block.

The other two nearby Heavenly Gate Devils also quickly used their Divided Soul, roaring as they unleashed demonic light into the white mist.

"Boom!"

"Screech!"

A cry of pain.

Four spiritual lights directly shattered the two tornadoes, striking the demonic cloud where the Ear Mouse was located. The demonic cloud shattered, and an angry, ear-piercing shriek came from within.

And with this disturbance, the combined attack of the eight Heavenly Gate Devils was completely disrupted. An ear-piercing spear cry, the Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear, having broken into the extreme Domain, suddenly vibrated with the force of thirty-Six Mountains. A vast, powerful force roared out, directly shattering the spiritual light filling the sky.

At the same time, Chen Yuan below, seeing this opportunity, suddenly lunged forward. His golden wings flapped wildly, like thunder and lightning, rushing into the demonic cloud of the Ear Mouse he had just attacked.

One could clearly see that the human-faced, rat-bodied Heavenly Gate Ear Mouse, with two ears three to four zhang long, covered in sharp black fur, and two tusks protruding from its mouth, had half of one ear sliced off and one arm charred black.

Chen Yuan's action of attracting fire, and the other four finding an opportunity to break through a point, led to this current scene.

Seeing Chen Yuan rapidly approaching, the Ear Mouse bared its fangs ferociously, letting out an ear-piercing squeak. Its black fur bristled, and it shot a black long spear floating in front of it towards Chen Yuan.

The other two nearby Heavenly Gate Devils roared in anger, rushing to intercept, unleashing a three to four zhang long dark green feathered arrow and a six-zhang-square earthy yellow great seal.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan's eyes burned with killing intent. He did not stop his advance. His Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear first parried to the left, deflecting the dark green feathered arrow.

"Clink!"

Then he swung the spear in a half-circle, striking to the right with a "clang," sending the earthy yellow great seal flying. Finally, he gave a jolt with his hand, and the long spear in his hand shot towards the Ear Mouse's black spear Dao Soldier with extreme speed!

Point against point.

The spear and the spear quickly collided, erupting in dazzling spiritual light.

The next second, the Heavenly Gate Ear Mouse's long spear was violently repelled, and the long spear rapidly struck directly at the Heavenly Gate Ear Mouse.

The Ear Mouse's blood-red eyes showed a hint of panic. It frantically clawed downwards, and the small mouse Demon Soldiers under its command were thrown towards the long spear one after another.

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

"..."

A streak of bloody light rapidly passed through.

The sounds of flesh exploding were continuous, accompanied by the shrill screams of the small mouse Demons.

At this moment, the injured ear of the Heavenly Gate Ear Mouse vibrated wildly, and it retreated rapidly.

However, a flowing cloud sleeve flew over, expanding rapidly, and inhaled it. A powerful suction force emanated from within, causing the Devil's speed to decrease. It felt its body being pulled.

Then, with wide eyes, it saw a streak of bloody light rapidly approaching, and couldn't help but let out a sharp hiss from its throat.

"No!"

"Boom!"

The long spear pierced through.

Immediately after, Chen Yuan appeared, skillfully smashing, digging, and collecting. Then, he grabbed the long spear with one hand and shot into the white mist without stopping, incredibly smoothly.

Behind him, the startled and angry shouts of the remaining seven Devils instantly resounded.

So many of them fighting one, yet they were counter-killed. It made them furious.

"Damn it!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

Chen Yuan let out a hearty laugh, disappearing into the white mist, and shot out several golden lights from his Dharma Eye in various directions within it.

The Dharma Eye could see through illusions, penetrate essence, and also empower oneself, sealing one's Aura. Only those whose cultivation was far superior to his, or who possessed other unique Divine Ability, could break through it.

Ever since acquiring the Dharma Eye Divine Ability, Chen Yuan had become incredibly proficient in its use. This was also the reason why he always gained the upper hand and was always victorious!

Soon, Chen Yuan's figure and Aura disappeared into the white mist.

The others did too!

On the other side, directly north of Weiyuan Prefecture, over two thousand three hundred li away, lay a Fu Gate called Chishui Prefecture!

It was named after a large river called Chishui that flowed through it.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the Chishui River surged with waves, reflecting golden light.

In Chishui Prefecture, at the Sky Patrol Division's station, Zhonglang Hall.

Inside the Zhonglang Hall, several figures with impressive Aura sat in rows.

On the main seats, Third Mountain General Chang Shan and the Local General of the Guard of Chishui Prefecture sat side by side.

Below them, Heavenly Gate experts from five Sects, including Jinchan Temple and Su Nu Sword Sect, gathered here.

They arrived at roughly the same time as the Shu Mountain Sword Sect and others, mostly on the evening of the day before yesterday.

It was just that one supported Guangan Prefecture, and the other supported Chishui Prefecture, forming an pincer attack on Weiyuan Prefecture from the east and north directions.

At this moment, the seven of them were discussing the matter of sending out troops.

To their southeast, outside the Fu Gate, were six scattered county towns belonging to Weiyuan Prefecture. The nearest was six hundred li away, and all had now fallen into the hands of the Yao Race. Each county town had a Heavenly Gate Devil stationed in it.

According to intelligence personally gathered by the Local General of the Guard, the Six Mountains Yao Race occupying Weiyuan Prefecture were mobilizing troops in the two county towns closest to Weiyuan Prefecture in that direction, gathering in this county, with a tendency to move west, intending to encircle the main battlefield.

The two Zhonglang Generals were discussing with the five Sect Heavenly Gate experts whether to send out troops to first recover the several county towns on the outskirts of Weiyuan Prefecture to block the Six Mountains Yao Race's westward advance. However, there were some disagreements. After all, once troops were sent out, it would affect the whole situation. Even if a county town was captured, the surrounding Yao Race troops would quickly gather, and they would have to divert manpower to defend the city, which would be disadvantageous, given that the outside world had already become Yao territory.

At this moment, Third Mountain General Chang Shan, sitting on the upper left, rubbed his brow and interrupted their conversation:

"Let's reserve our opinions on this matter for now!"

"We and Guangan Prefecture form a pincer. The Fushi has ordered that if Chishui Prefecture makes any move, it must notify the Ninth Mountain. This General will inform Ninth Zhonglang of this matter and ask for his opinion!"

"Let's leave it at that for now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the several Sect Heavenly Gate experts in the hall varied.

From the sound of it, the Fushi's two Fa Shan Army expeditions to the two prefectures this time had that Ninth Zhonglang as the main This General?

What kind of ability did this newly appointed Zhonglang General possess?

Just as the several people were about to get up, a shout came from outside the main hall.

"Clear the way, urgent military intelligence!"

Following that, there was a rapid sound of footsteps.

Inside the Zhonglang Hall, the seven Heavenly Gate experts heard the commotion and their expressions tightened as they looked towards the outside of the hall.

Soon, a Local Patrolling Mountain Commandant in green armor ran quickly and burst in, then knelt on one knee, cupping his hands towards the Local General of the Guard, his voice urgent:

"This General, urgent military intelligence! According to my Contracted Demons, there have been riots in the several county towns to the southeast, and a large number of Devils are leaving the cities!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the several people changed.
