259: They are back! (asking for monthly ticket)

Chapter 259: Giant Pushing Mountains

Pei Yanhu, as the Deputy Town Demon Envoy of Jiannan Road, held the highest military rank in the area. Although he was not as prominent as the Human Race Martial Armory, he was the core figure defending the region and a stabilizing force for the army.

His movement immediately caused a stir. His Zhonglang Generals, unaware of why he left the core of the Formation, changed their expressions. Seeing the demons swarming towards the lightning bolt, they shouted angrily,

“Protect the Commander!”

The experts from Sichuan who had poured into Chuanzhong Pass also knew the importance of the Commander's identity. Shouts rose, and they all moved.

“Stop him!”

From within the demon tide, a roar echoed, followed by the sinister snarl of a certain demon.

“He’s the main official! Kill him!”

Behind the demon tide, a demonic roar surged into the sky. A pair of crimson demonic eyes fixed on the lightning bolt that had broken through the demon tide and was heading southeast. Its fangs bared, its demonic eyes revealed excited, fierce light. It stomped its foot, and shot towards the lightning bolt.

Closely following, three soul-stirring demonic roars rang out from within the demon tide, shooting towards the silver lightning from all directions.

At the same time, a large group of demons blocked the southeastern city wall, a dense, dark mass, attempting to stop the Human Race who had charged out of the city.

The dazzling lightning bolt instantly carved out a bloody path, darting about a li away, where it was intercepted by four demon generals wreathed in raging demonic flames, creating deafening roars and astonishing demonic light.

After charging out of the Formation, Pei Yanhu’s chest was heaving, filled with extreme urgency. The increasingly scorching temperature in his chest told him:

Those people are approaching rapidly!

Is it the Ninth Mountain Army?

His bloodshot pupils trembled violently.

His son died on the battlefield, his soldiers were buried in a foreign land, and his good friends and comrades also died in battle. He received news of his former comrades dying one by one. That immense sense of powerlessness caused this Hunter, who had been trapped in Jinguancheng, immense inner torment and no rest day after day. As soon as he closed his eyes, he could see the restless souls of his dead soldiers.

During that projection, he personally witnessed Chen Yuan, on whom he had placed great hopes, having his Dharmic form annihilated by the Wucang Great Demon. This young Zhonglang General, whom he had just recently appointed, a man of iron and blood, had fought his way from the Heavenly Gate to Wu Zang, possessing extraordinary talent and inspiring countless passionate young men from Sichuan. To then watch him vanish in the light and shadow, caused Pei Yanhu immense shock, followed by the powerlessness and self-reproach of being a useless person.

These past few days, he blamed himself daily, wishing he hadn't sent him out.

But he knew that as the main general, he would still have done the same thing.

This was a dead end.

He sensed the scorching temperature and desperately wanted to know the answer, but outside the Pass were only demons. He had to lead people to tear open a gap and bring them back!

“Carve out a gap!”

“I sense brothers returning from the battlefield; we must go and bring them back!”

Terrifying demonic light shot from all directions. Pei Yanhu roared, his hair flying wildly, his eyes flashing with lightning, revealing a blazing silver glow. Then, his body surged with boundless lightning, and a green lotus swayed out from within the lightning.

Beneath the lotus leaves, a silver fish leaped out of the lightning pool. Instantly, a Dragon roar, a howl shaking heaven and earth, a sparkling silver lightning Dragon emerged from the lightning pool, circling the furiously surging Pei Yanhu, spiraling upwards and soaring into the sky.

The silver Lightning Dragon bared its fangs and brandished its claws. Its Dragon horns, four claws, and Dragon tail grabbed and struck at the four demonic lights, causing lightning to crackle loudly.

Following a loud bang, the four demonic lights simultaneously struck.

The Lightning Dragon roared, its scales, Dragon horns, and parts of its body were shattered into lightning pulp by the demonic light, scattering everywhere, and it was quickly covered in wounds.

All four demons were Dao Fruit realm!

Their demonic eyes revealed ferocious glints, determined to slay this main official here. But Pei Yanhu, who had held the position of Dao Fu Division Deputy Town Demon Envoy for many years, was not someone to be trifled with.

His face rapidly flushed with a bloody hue. He opened his mouth wide and swallowed the silver Lightning Dragon, instantly transforming into a silver Dragon-man about ten zhang tall, clad in silver Dragon armor, with lightning flickering all over his body. He extended his hands, holding a Dragon Subduing Mace, smashing through several divine lights. His light yellow eyebrows and bloodshot pupils were filled with malevolence. He flashed with lightning towards a demonic shadow blocking his path, revealing a ferocious aura, charging forward to engage in fierce close-quarters combat, forcing that demonic shadow to retreat, roaring repeatedly. The other three demonic shadows immediately rushed forward, wielding Dao weapons, to join the fray.

The brutal close-quarters combat caused demonic Qi to splash everywhere and silver light to shatter.

In Sichuan City, upon hearing Pei Yanhu's roar, his Zhonglang Generals immediately glared with fierce eyes,

“Kill!”

With ferocious shouts, they led their Human Race out of the Pass, fighting the demons and tearing open a path.

At this moment, high in the sky, the battle between the Wu Zang was particularly fierce, full of killing intent at every step. The “Divine Nun” of the Su Nu Sword Sect, noticing Pei Yanhu's predicament, let out a sharp cry. The ribbons encircling her, like a cosmic sash, shattered the spreading ice in the Void Realm, holding back a descending moon from the Tiangou Great Demon. Then, a ribbon flew down from the sky, whistling through the air, heading towards Pei Yanhu's battlefield, causing the Void Realm to tremble.

Just then,

The Tiangou Great Demon, seeing this, sneered, “You dare to be distracted while fighting this Venerable One? Now is the time, Devour the Moon!”

A sharp cry fell. The cold light of the moon intensified, and a mass of black Qi surged out like a shadow, passing through the screen of ribbons. Then, a massive canine demon broke free from the shadow, rapidly approaching. Its claws, like divine weapons, struck at the “Divine Nun.”

The Void Realm shrieked, leaving white streaks.

At this moment, the Divine Nun of the Su Nu Sword Sect, in this brief interval, was in a defensive blind spot. She could only let out a delicate cry, and a sword light chimed within her body. White light surged through the Void Realm around her, and sword Qi several feet long pierced out of her body.

“Boom”

“Boom”

Two booming sounds.

A muffled grunt rang out.

The black canine demon's sharp claws, the first strike was parried, the second claw broke through the sword Qi, striking directly at the Divine Nun's Dharmic form.

Her Dharmic form immediately trembled, spiritual light scattered, shrinking rapidly, and then falling downwards.

“Not good!”

This sudden change caused the soldiers and martial arts experts of Sichuan City to change their expressions, their hearts clenching.

At this moment, below, Pei Yanhu, fighting with the four Dao Fruit demons, let out a cry, and the silver lightning on his body exploded, forcing the four Dao Fruit demons back.

Then, he threw out a green light from his hand. The green light pulsed, and within it, a thunderous drum sound echoed, carrying far and wide.

His face contorted into a fierce expression,

“They’re here!”

“Fight your way out with this Commander and bring them back.”

Meanwhile, high in the sky, the Tiangou Great Demon, who had knocked the Divine Nun down, looked to the southeast, vaguely sensing approaching Qi. Seeing these ants, regardless of life and death, carve out a bloody path, it finally understood.

Its fangs bared, its massive demonic body loomed overhead, revealing a sinister smile:

“Heh heh, so there are still people. I wonder what kind of fish slipped through the net. You want to save them? Then this Venerable One will let you witness their deaths with your own eyes!”

“Devour the Moon, go to the southeast, find them, and kill them all!”

A sinister laugh fell.

As its words fell, the black demonic shadow transformed into a massive black demonic hound, black Qi surging, thirty to forty zhang tall, with crimson-green eyes filled with terrifyingly fierce light. A growl rumbled in its throat, and then it rushed towards the night in the southeast, moving extremely fast, transforming into a fleeting afterimage in the darkness.

Pei Yanhu's eyes were bloodshot. The lightning on his body crackled, and he directly transformed into a lightning bolt, charging furiously towards the southeast. However, he was quickly entangled by the Dao Fruit demons he had shaken off. He roared in shock and anger, throwing himself at the demons as if his life depended on it, determined to carve out a bloody path.

At this moment, the Divine Nun, who had been knocked flying, stabilized herself in mid-air, attempting to chase after the demonic hound, but a pair of large claws reached down from the sky, striking directly at her.

“Too late!”

A ferocious laugh reverberated through the universe.

The Human Race who had charged out of the city felt a surge of anger in their hearts. “Damn it.”

However, after a few breaths,

In the night, a dozen li away,

“Woof woof”

A dog's whimpering roar suddenly erupted, extremely piercing. Suddenly.

Then, came urgent, piercing barks!

Following that, in the distant hills, cawing sounds rose sharply. Countless crows flapped their wings, startled, and flew up, emitting piercing cries.

They did not fly towards the empty night to the south, but instead flew towards the battlefield where Human Race and demons were fighting!

Then, they were either shredded by the spiritual light splattering everywhere or crashed directly into the light screen of the great Formation, exploding into masses of blood mist.

It was as if in the south, within the mountain forests whose outlines were faintly visible under the night, some terrifying entity was rapidly approaching!

This unusual scene startled the fiercely battling battlefield, and everyone looked towards the hills outside the Pass.

The next second, black demonic hounds retreated from the nearest hill, seven or eight li away!

This demonic hound was barking, and then a low whimper rumbled in its throat. Its crimson-green eyes glowed with fierce light, yet also with fear. It retreated, baring its fangs, stepping backward one step at a time.

Everyone heard the commotion, glanced over, and seeing this scene, their eyes widened in surprise.

Then, with a roar, after one or two rounds of fighting, both sides of the battlefield unexpectedly chose to retreat, tacitly stopping their attacks. Then, while remaining vigilant, they looked into the distance.

The world, which had been intensely roaring, became eerily quiet at this moment.

On the city wall, everyone watched in surprise, their eyes fixed on the hill where the demonic hound's hundreds of Clones were barking.

That demonic hound was a subordinate of the Tiangou Great Demon. Its existence was unknown, but it could injure a Human Race Martial Armory, making it terrifying. Now, this demonic hound seemed to be retreating as if fearing some entity.

At this moment,

“Whinny”

From the distant hills, sounds of horses whinnying could be heard.

Following that, under the bright moon, figures of horses appeared on the hills. Armors, some broken, some covered in dust, had not lost their luster to the wind and dust, and gleamed with cold light under the moonlight.

Between the armors, battle flags fluttered in the wind, flapping loudly!

“It’s the Ninth Mountain Army!”

On Chuanzhong Pass, someone strained their eyes, their pupils shrinking, then their face greatly changed, letting out a cry of surprise.

Then came one cry after another, rising like a tide.

“They’re back!”

Excited voices rang out. Many of them had come because of the Ninth Mountain Army, shedding blood on the battlefield, fighting with demons.

On that day of the Jinguancheng projection, countless people were stirred by the Ninth Mountain Army. Now, seeing this legendary army return, some couldn't help but have red eyes and tears streaming down their faces.

Then, seeing the terror of that terrifying demonic hound, combined with the recent unusual phenomena, their hearts immediately pounded. They remembered that day, the proud figure standing between heaven and earth.

Immediately, their hearts pounded like drums. One by one, their eyes blazed, their faces filled with uncontrollable excitement and urgency, and they all rushed onto the city wall.

A name vibrated in their chests!

But just at this moment, seven or eight li away, above the hundred-meter-tall hill, a golden light suddenly tore through the night.

A great sun abruptly rose!

Following that, two gigantic golden hands slammed onto the two adjacent, sprawling hills. With a rumbling sound, a massive figure rose from behind that hill.

A pair of eerie golden eyes were the first to appear in the world, mysterious, majestic, and not to be looked at directly!

Then, came the enormous body clad in green Dragon scales, a hundred zhang tall, rising into the sky.

A powerful Qi surged out, the hills rumbled, and the earth trembled.

“Woof woof”

The demonic hound named Devour the Moon let out a terrified whimper from its throat, immediately tucked its tail between its legs, and let out a strange cry, transforming into shadows, fleeing into the Void Realm, shooting away in escape.

However,

“Rumble”

Under the Void Realm where the demonic hound was fleeing, stone pillars shot up into the sky, blocking its path. Then, with a sudden clench, the air shrieked.

Shadows like ink attempted to scatter and escape, but in the center, a pitch-black crack appeared, and a surging suction force gathered the scattered black Qi together.

A massive, ferocious demonic hound appeared, letting out a terrified roar, attempting to break free. But the next second, the stone pillars suddenly closed in, clamping down, and with a booming sound, it exploded.

It was all over in a breath!

“Devour the Moon!”

A roar of shock and anger, shaking the Void Realm.

A “bright moon” was seen flying over, the Void Realm rumbling. Then, the Tiangou Great Demon, carrying Wu Zang's Qi, its fangs bared ferociously, its demonic eyes filled with violent murderous intent, surged forward.

“Who are you?!”

The demon roared!

And the golden phantom, seeing the “bright moon” carrying the power to freeze the Void Realm, plummeting towards him, opened its mouth wide and let out a mighty roar.

A peculiar syllable, transforming into crackling explosions, surged out.

In an instant, the descending bright moon suddenly paused, and then the Void Realm shattered like a broken mirror, bursting apart with a crashing sound. Along with the “bright moon,” cracks rapidly spread across it.

“Boom”

A dazzling silver light suddenly bloomed between heaven and earth!

Then, in the world, an extremely piercing gun chime, a dazzling and vibrant firelight, like a brilliant meteor falling from the sky, pierced through the dazzling and shattering silver light of the bright moon, like lightning and thunder, striking the wide-eyed Tiangou Great Demon with a roar!

“Ah!”

A mournful cry of pain ripped through the Void Realm.

A great spear was seen firmly impaled in the Tiangou Great Demon's Dharmic form!

As the dazzling firelight flared.

The spear chimed, and the demon's Dharmic form shattered brilliantly.

“Ninth Zhonglang!”

In the distance, on the city wall, a voice rose in excitement, calling out that person's name!
