258: Could it be them? (asking for monthly ticket)

Chuanzhong Pass, a military stronghold in the Sichuan Basin, was only ten li in circumference, enveloped on both sides by the towering Heavenly Mountain Range, and nestled among the peaks.

This place was only about four thousand li from Jinguancheng; once broken, below lay the incomparably flat Sichuan Plain!

At this moment, the clamor of human voices and the roar of battle shook the heavens.

Three thousand hot-blooded men shed blood on the battlefield, among them no lack of experts of the Heavenly Gate and Body Profound Ranks.

Coupled with the Zhonglang Generals of the Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Mountains, and several retreating Fu Gate Zhonglang Generals, they led the remnants of their forces to defend this city.

In addition, Pei Yanhu, who was originally stationed in Jinguancheng, personally came to this pass to guard it.

Starting four days ago, it was these people, with the help of the great pass-guarding Formation brought and set up by Pei Yanhu from the Dao Fu Division, who had stubbornly resisted the attacks of the demons.

The two sides repeatedly fought back and forth, and the area tens of li outside the pass became a graveyard, with corpses strewn everywhere.

News from this battlefield continuously reached Jinguancheng and spread to the rear, stirring up an increasingly grand momentum.

Finally, they waited until the Wu Zang Divine Ability users also joined in!

Yesterday, two Human Race Martial Armory suddenly appeared, slaying a Wucang Great Demon that was attacking the city.

The two Human Race Martial Armory were none other than the Sect Heads of two Sects among the “Wei Yuan Eight Heroes”!

Yi Cangtian, the Sect Head of Shu Mountain Sword Sect, and “Divine Nun,” the former Sect Head of Su Nu Sword Sect, rumored to have perished in the Jianghu, had actually achieved a Breakthrough to Wu Zang.

As for the title “Wei Yuan Eight Heroes,” it was given to the Heavenly Gate experts from Sichuan who, in the projection of Jinguancheng, fought alongside the Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General against the demons. No one knows who came up with this title, but it gradually spread.

That night, the demons were enraged and humiliated, and three Wucang Great Demons appeared simultaneously, launching an assault on the city.

At this moment, above the sky, five enormous Dharma Idols confronted each other.

Above the Chuanzhong Pass Great Formation, two figures appeared, radiating an astonishing Aura.

One was clad in white armor, wearing a Daoist crown, with a long, beautiful beard, and around him, countless Sword Qi danced and surged, pointing directly to the sky.

One was draped in colorful ribbons, wearing a palace dress, seventy to eighty zhang tall, her face covered by a ball of light, making it indistinct. Around her, colorful ribbons danced and soared across the sky.

And high above the sky, three Wucang Great Demons, shrouded in demonic clouds, looked down.

One had a red hairy body, crimson-gold eyes, and glowed red like flowing fire, a hundred zhang in size. One had a ferocious face, a body covered in golden scales, a thunder god's mouth, a pair of golden wings on its back, and held a thunder god's hammer. The last one was covered in black Qi, with a full moon hanging above its head, and the black Qi around its body transformed into black demonic dogs, barking wildly at the ground below.

They were actually the Wucang Great Demons of the three Fiends: Bìxié, Tiāngǒu, and Gǔdiāo!

It seemed the Ten Fiends had divided their territories and attack routes. The eastern battlefield was led by Féiyí and the Six Mountains, while the central battlefield was attacked by these three Fiends.

The five Wu Zang gathered at Chuanzhong Pass, their surging Aura causing the Void Realm to tremble and hum incessantly.

“Kill!”

As an indifferent voice, devoid of any emotion, fell.

“Woof”

“Woof”

“Woof”

“...”

In the sky, countless black demonic dogs descended, their crimson-green eyes filled with malevolent light.

And the Great Demon of the Gǔdiāo tribe flapped its golden wings, stirring up a gale, soaring into the sky, and with one hand holding a thunder god's chisel and the other a hammer, it struck down.

Instantly, with a rumble, a shocking clap of thunder exploded across the heavens and earth.

Below the black thunder god's chisel, a golden lightning bolt as thick as a bucket split the sky and struck down, attacking the two Human Race Martial Armory.

And the red-furred Bìxié roared angrily, beating its chest, and exhaled a stream of fiery golden Qi, which descended from the sky.

Immediately, surging killing intent descended.

Yi Cangtian of Shu Mountain Sword Sect and Divine Nun of Su Nu Sword Sect, their two pairs of brilliant eyes narrowed, and then a Sword Cry simultaneously erupted from within their bodies.

Yi Cangtian’s Sword Light instantly transformed into a dazzling silver river, soaring into the sky, while Divine Nun formed a hand seal, and tiny blue raindrops, crystal clear, appeared in the air. She pointed a finger towards the sky, and these raindrops whistled through the air, reversing their course.

Soon, the Divine Abilities of the five Wu Zang clashed.

The three Fiends possessed vast Divine Abilities, being fierce demons with a continuous Legacy, their Divine Abilities from their Bloodline Legacy were strange and ferocious. The two Human Race Martial Armory, however, were Sword Cultivators renowned for their unparalleled attack power. Upon reaching the Wu Zang Realm, their Sword Intent was unrestrained, unstoppable, roaring through heaven and earth like long rainbows, extremely fast.

For a time, the battle raged until heaven and earth changed color.

The two humans and three demons fought high in the sky, unleashing all their offensive techniques, and even the slightest leaked Qi caused those below to tremble with fear.

At this moment, inside Chuanzhong Pass, the sounds of battle shook the heavens. The demons attacked the city, a dense, dark mass. These demons, repelled yesterday, came prepared today, bringing more than a dozen enormous green insect nests, releasing a strange green demonic insect. These insects had bodies as hard as steel and no Divine Ability, but they could devour the spiritual light of Formations.

Shouts of alarm rose from the city, and Heavenly Gate experts leaped out one after another, plunging into the demon horde to eliminate those insect nests.

The battle quickly became deadlocked; the demons were in chaos, and the human side was also in disarray.

At this time, in a core area in the center of the city, a three-colored light pillar connected the Formation circle, surrounded by strict guards, with the soldiers' swords drawn.

This was the Formation Eye of the city's great pass-guarding Formation!

A figure was seated here, suspended within the three-colored light pillar!

It was none other than the burly Pei Yanhu, with his tiger-like eyes.

At this moment, Pei Yanhu’s expression was tense. In front of him was a hemispherical sphere, a miniature map of the great Formation. His tiger-like eyes constantly monitored the Formation's operation, and his hands continuously cast spiritual light, sending it into the light projection in front of him.

At the same time, he occasionally looked up at the sky, his pupils constricted. Three Wucang Great Demons appearing at once, he wondered if the two Wu Zang could hold them off.

He was worried, but he knew he could not lose his composure. He spoke softly, issuing commands. Although there were many experts in Chuanzhong City at this time, they were all hot-blooded and lacked experience fighting demons, leading to many unnecessary casualties.

He had to command the overall situation.

Just then, Pei Yanhu, who was seated in the Formation Eye, suddenly felt a warmth in his chest.

He looked slightly surprised and took out the warm object to examine it.

A square, green jade great seal carved with a fierce tiger!

At this moment, this green jade great seal was flashing with green light.

This information indicated that one of his own was approaching.

And only one possibility could cause his Tiger Talisman to react!

It was a Zhonglang General he had personally conferred!

Thoughts raced through his mind: Seventh and Eighth were here, Fourth and Fifth were dead, Ninth also...

Ninth?

Pei Yanhu thought of this title, and his pupils couldn't help but tremble.

Could it be them?

At this moment, his gaze turned towards the direction the Tiger Talisman was sensing. He couldn't help but turn his neck, looking towards the southeast, his eyes blazing. Then he let out a roar, and his body transformed into a scorching lightning bolt, soaring into the sky, becoming a dazzling streak of lightning that broke through the great Formation, furiously slaying demons along the way, and shooting directly towards the southeast.
