208: If I were you, I would have run away long ago (asking for a monthly ticket)

As Chen Yuan soared with the wind, he cut a white giant wave through the rain curtain of heaven and earth, stabbing directly into the Yao Race army.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

The eight Dao Soldiers of Heavenly Gate seemed to have formed a tacit understanding, breaking through the air one after another and following him.

On the city wall, the Local General of the Guard Gou Zhi’s eyebrows twitched. He gritted his teeth, raised both hands, and two massive bronze war hammers appeared in his grasp. With a “bang,” he slammed them together, then raised one hammer, his expression turning fierce as he roared:

“To hell with it!”

“If we die, we die.”

“Beat the drums! Beat the drums!”

“Everyone, charge!”

After speaking, with a “bang,” his legs bent, and then, like a cannonball, he shot up into the sky.

On the city wall, drumbeats and bells rang out in unison, followed by shouts from all around. Then, lines of iron-clad soldiers, their armor gleaming with cold light, surged forward like a thousand armies rushing into a great river, sweeping into the wind and rain curtain of heaven and earth.

Inside West City, countless dark figures stood densely packed on the eaves of various pavilions. Hearing the roar of distant Devils mixed with the wind and rain, and the rising clamor, their hearts tightened. Then, seeing the rumbling, thousands of troops and horses moving in unison, like a hundred boats vying for supremacy, rushing into the vast white curtain outside, their faces turned pale with shock, startling them.

Almost all the soldiers on the entire city wall had been dispatched, actively charging out to ambush the enemy.

Immediately, shouts and cries of panic and fear arose.

“They’re mad, they’re mad! They don’t want to live! Why are they leaving the city? Defending the city is the way!”

“How are they commanding this? Military matters are not child’s play! Once this momentum is repelled, it will be a complete collapse.”

“It is rumored that the Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General is in charge of the Fu Gate’s overall situation.”

“What exactly is going on?”

“Go and see quickly.”

Among these onlookers, some had anxious and terrified expressions, spouting military strategies and pointing fingers, yet remained rooted to the spot. Others frowned deeply, then set off towards the west.

Twenty li outside Guang’an Prefecture’s west, fighting erupted, and explosions tore apart the mountain forest.

Sect Disciples who came to support and righteous warriors from the Fu Gate, wielding swords, moved like ghosts, soaring up and down through the mountain forest, clashing with the Devil vanguard, displaying their respective Divine Abilities.

A Shu Mountain Sword Sect Disciple, dressed in white, floated like a sword immortal. His shouts were like the wind, and sword light danced around him. Several Devils shrieked and leaped about, their sharp claws gleaming with cold light, attacking from three sides. The Disciple flew backward, forming a sword seal with his hand, and shouted, “Slash!” The sword light around him immediately whistled through the air, transforming into three dazzling white lines that bisected the three small demons charging at him. After completing this, he blew a whistle and then drilled into the ground, disappearing from sight.

Meanwhile, in another mountain forest a few li away, a Fulong Temple Disciple, dressed in a green Daoist robe, was flinging several yellow Talismanic Incantations, which transformed into streaks of yellow light, flying with whooshing sounds onto several Demon Soldiers. Then, he let out a soft cry.

“Solidify!”

The Talismanic Incantations immediately flashed with golden light, freezing several ugly-faced, snarling Demon Soldiers in place. The Daoist, holding a nine-holed bronze ancient coin sword horizontally before his mouth, scowled and opened his mouth, spitting out a stream of fire that swept across. Instantly, flames raged, burning several Qi Refinement Stage Demon Soldiers into fireballs.

Suddenly, “whoosh,” a streak of black Devilish Qi shot through the air from the side of the mountain forest at extreme speed. The Daoist’s face changed, and he quickly turned sideways, blocking with his sword.

With a “clang,” the nine-holed bronze coin sword shattered, and the Daoist flew back over ten meters, breaking a large tree. An abnormal flush appeared on his face, and he coughed violently several times. At that moment, from the direction the Devilish Qi came, a sound of tearing air descended from the sky. A five to six zhang long Fei Yi, flapping a pair of grotesque fleshy wings, revealed a pair of blood-red, cruel eyes, rapidly approaching. At this point, the Daoist quickly flipped his hand, pulled out an earthy yellow Talismanic Incantation, and slapped it onto his body. With a “poof,” his body suddenly transformed into a wisp of white smoke and dissipated.

In the next breath, “boom,” a loud explosion, and dirt splattered. The place where he had been turned into a large pit. The Body Profound Peak Fei Yi, seeing the person suddenly disappear, was furious and let out an angry roar, the hard bone spurs on its neck all flaring open.

With this roar, a large expanse of dark figures flew across the misty mountain forest. Fei Yis of various sizes, flapping their fleshy wings, looked down from above the mountain forest, their eyes gleaming with sharp light.

Just as they flew two or three li further, a loud shout rang out from below, “Explode for me!”

As the words fell, streaks of fire immediately shot up into the sky from that li-wide mountain forest. Violent explosions, sweeping with surging flames and bursts of wild True Qi, surged towards those Fei Yis.

“Pfft!”

“Pfft!”

“Pfft!”

In an instant, the violent True Qi turbulence directly engulfed the twenty or so Fei Yis, shattering their flesh and blood, creating holes in them. Piercing screams, accompanied by falling corpses and flesh, stained the rain curtain red, as if it were raining blood.

The small group of remaining Fei Yis behind, seeing their companions die tragically, opened their grotesque bird beaks and let out sharp cries, then plunged down below.

Below, a squad of armored soldiers, who had been lurking in the mountain hollow, revealed themselves. Their iron armor gleamed brightly under the washing rain. With “clangs,” they drew their sabers, formed a formation, and wildly hacked out Saber Qi towards the sky, stirring up streaks of rain.

At this moment, in the mountain forest, to the east, the faint white mist that had been in the mountain forest gradually became streaked with blood as a gust of wind blew. The blood streaks were like spiritual insects, hidden in the mist, or among the branches and leaves, or burrowing into the ground, like grass snakes leaving faint trails.

An armored soldier, who was raising his saber to clash with the claws and hooks of a diving Fei Yi, did not notice a streak of blood seeping into his nose. One breath later, his body suddenly stiffened, his eyeballs bulged, covered in bloodshot veins, and then he let out a cry of pain. Blood splattered from his skin and eyes, and then, his entire body exploded, and clusters of bloody Qi slowly ascended into the sky.

Then, one after another, other armored soldiers experienced the same situation.

Urgent whistles immediately echoed through this mountain forest.

“Retreat!”

As if triggering a chain reaction, shouts and sharp whistles spread, and streaks of light and iron armor, accompanied by clamor, retreated frantically towards Guang’an Prefecture.

At this moment, soon, wisps of bloody Qi could be seen rising from the mountain forest. The vast white rain curtain was instantly dyed blood-red. Then, the sound of surging waves rose from within, and a sea of blood rapidly condensed, its waves crashing into the Void Realm.

Subsequently, a bloody giant face with a pointed mouth, green eyes, and ferocious fangs broke free from the rising sea of blood. It was a massive seventeen or eighteen zhang in size, and a powerful aura that made everyone feel suppressed and suffocated emanated from it.

The waves stirred up by the sea of blood were a hundred meters high, causing mountains to crumble and ground to crack wherever they passed, and plants to fly, a terrifying sight.

Its pair of green eyes with red pupils, larger than houses, were sinister and terrifying. Looking down from above at the ants fleeing in streaks of light, it let out a deafening, sinister laugh.

“Hehehe…”

Suddenly, at this moment, a cold light streaked across the heavens and earth, causing a violent air explosion that shook the sky.

A pinpoint of cold light fiercely tore through the vast rain curtain, moving at lightning speed, and slammed towards the sea of blood with a crash.

The piercing laughter stopped. The giant green eyes with red pupils turned, revealing a ferocious expression. The sea of blood churned, and furiously surged towards the incoming cold light.

“Rumble!”

The sea of blood churned, and even the sky rumbled and shook.

Soon, like a meteor striking Earth, the cold light descended from the sky and slammed heavily into the surging blood wave.

“Boom!”

A loud sound.

The blood wave exploded, and the cold light directly pierced through, continuing to shoot towards the giant face.

The Devil’s giant face showed a hint of surprise, then let out a cold snort. Soon, layers of huge waves instantly surged up, one after another, crashing into the cold light.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

The cold light broke through fifty layers of blood waves, finally stopping its momentum and revealing its true form: it was a Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear!

And when the Devil’s giant face saw this Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear, its green eyes with red pupils flashed with a ferocious and sharp glint, and its voice boomed like muffled thunder in the sky.

“Is it this spear?”

As these words fell, immediately, a voice filled with gnashing hatred rang out, “Twenty-Eight Elders! It was this person, with this spear, who killed countless of our Six Mountains!”

Then, human-shaped figures emerged from the sea of blood. Each had a human face and a Devil body, with varying appearances, fierce eyes, and powerful auras. There were thirteen of them, all possessing Heavenly Gate auras. The remaining elite Yao Race from Weiyuan Pass had all gathered here, ready to turn Guang’an Prefecture into a dead city!

The one speaking was one of the three Heavenly Gate Devils who had been chased and fled into Weiyuan City by Chen Yuan and others a few days ago. It had a human face, a bird’s beak, green feathers on its head, black lips, and eerie green eyes that stared fixedly at the Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear, filled with ferocity and hatred.

Upon hearing this, the sea of blood immediately roared, its waves surging to the sky, rushing towards the Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear with a mighty rumble.

But then, a piercing spear cry suddenly erupted. The spear body glowed with divine light, abruptly expanding to twenty zhang in size, stretching across the sea of blood. It churned and stirred, directly agitating the bloody waves with loud crashing sounds, causing the Void Realm to tremble and hum incessantly.

Then, with a loud “boom,” the agitated sea of blood exploded, and the large spear pierced through, shooting into the vast, rainy sky ahead.

The bloody giant face, seeing this, let out a cry of shock and anger.

“Damn it, how can my Dao Fruit not trap a Dao Soldier!”

As the words fell, the rain curtain in the Void Realm ahead dispersed, and then a mass of clouds rolled in.

Above the clouds, a silver-armored figure stood tall at the forefront.

He was handsome and elegant, dressed in shining silver armor, with a black cloud-patterned cloak draped over his back, exuding a majestic aura. A golden line between his eyebrows shimmered with a faint golden light.

Behind him, there were nine figures, arranged on either side, their eyes gleaming, their auras extraordinary.

“Clang!”

The leading silver-armored figure extended his hand diagonally upwards. The Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear, which had been shooting towards him, shrank against the wind and, with a clang, landed in his hand.

Chen Yuan held the long spear, its tip turning as he swept it diagonally downwards. Stepping on the clouds and mist, he moved forward, a faint golden light flickering in his eyes as he stared at the bloody Devil face reflected in the sea of blood.

Dao Fruit Realm, first layer!

Good!

And thirteen Dao Soldier Heavenly Gate Devils.

Excellent.

Golden light leaped in his eyes, like raging flames.

At this moment, the green eyes with red pupils in the sea of blood stared at Chen Yuan, their fangs exposed. The sea of blood churned with huge waves, like crashing tides. The bloody face grew increasingly grotesque and terrifying as the sea of blood expanded, looking down at Chen Yuan and the others from above, emitting a chilling, sinister laugh.

“What a Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General. In the north, your Fa Shan Army is almost dead. I didn’t expect you to gain an advantage here.”

“Do you really think our Ten Fiends Sacred Race cannot kill you? We were just playing house with you. It’s coming, it’s coming!”

Saying this, his voice sharpened.

“Soon, it will be your turn!”

With that, the sea of blood churned, roaring to the heavens, and crashed down.

Chen Yuan coldly watched as the Devil finished speaking, then raised an eyebrow and slowly began, “Has Your Excellency never wondered why your Dao Fruit couldn’t trap my Dao Soldier?”

“If I were you, I would have run already!”

As he finished speaking, he raised his other hand.

A small azure-gold glazed pagoda emerged from his hand and flew up.

Subsequently, the heavens and earth underwent a great change.
