372: The boat is here to pick up passengers! (4K monthly ticket request)
“Quick! Beat the Human Skin Drum! Let the Guiding Compass take us back! We’ve been tricked!”
At the bloody passage entrance, a Wicked Dragon was bound by a dragon binding cord. The Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear’s blade was like a thread, cutting across, and a line of blood hissed and bloomed on the Wicked Dragon’s body.
In a flash, a heaven-shaking Dragon roar resounded, and crimson blood rain splattered, falling on the flying white snowflakes, and also on the faces of other Great Demons.
The expression of a Great Demon’s Devil Eye changed, his voice tinged with a hint of gnashing teeth.
The Human Race Martial Armory led troops in an ambush; they were completely unprepared and were simply rushed.
In less than half a cup of tea’s time, the Demon Generals of the Feiyi, Paoxiao, and Wicked Dragon Clans were successively slain!
It was both anger and fear!
“How is this possible? Are we, the Demon Generals of the Ten Clans, going to be scared out of our wits by a single Human Race Zhonglang General, retreating without a fight? What face would the Sacred Clan have left?”
“Why don’t we join forces and kill him!”
The Zhuhuai clan’s Demon General stared with a pair of terrifying ox eyes, four horns growing on his head, and his ox nose exhaled rolling Devilish Qi. His voice was like muffled thunder, full of rage and savagery.
“Fight? How do we fight? The surroundings are all Demon brats; we can’t even fully unleash our power. Haven’t you realized we’re surrounded?”
The Demon General who had just suggested beating the drum to retreat furiously transmitted his voice, his Devil Eyes looking up at the sky. That Human Race Zhonglang General was currently driving a golden great pagoda to suppress the Wicked Dragon Clan’s Demon General, whose head was split open. Golden chains shot out from the pagoda, piercing into the hideous, massive Dragon head with popping sounds.
Looking down below, arrows rained down like fire, and within the dense forest, streaks of shimmering armor light and bent bows shot directly at the crowded and unformed Demon brats.
“Bang!”
The bowstring vibrated rapidly, and the iron arrow suddenly let out an explosion of Qi, like a startling thunderclap from a string, streaking a brilliant fiery light as it shot up towards the sky.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The arrow light struck one Demon Soldiers after another, their power impressive, piercing through the Devilish Body. Then, a burst of fire erupted, engulfing the Demon Soldiers in flames.
“Hou!”
Some Demon Soldiers, having been hit by several arrows but not dying, became ferocious, roaring and charging towards the mountain forest below, engulfed in flames.
But very quickly, streaks of Saber Qi cut through the night, flashing past and striking down these Demon Soldiers.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
“Rumble rumble!”
One could only see dense streams of light flying up, one Formation Flag after another piercing the Void Realm, with cold, shining iron armor above, horses trampling flying flags, each one exerting themselves, roaring and swinging their sabers to continuously strike at the charging Demon shadows. At first, they were a bit flustered, but when the scorching Demon blood splattered on their faces and bodies, these Three Passes Prefecture soldiers, who were originally fearful, now only had adrenaline burning.
Once truly on the battlefield, life and death were thrown to the back of their minds amidst the flying flesh and blood. The only thought in their minds was kill! Kill! Kill!
Below, one could see the flying flags sweeping and fluttering, traversing the Void Realm, flying further ahead, like birds flying through the forest, whooshing into the Demon army.
Subsequently, the two rows of Prefecture Army soldiers who charged forward were seen with fierce eyebrows and grim eyes, chanting incantations, activating their True Qi, their fingers forming sword-fingers, and with unified shouts, they pointed at their respective Formation Flags.
“Bing-shang-ji-xia, Kan-Li, Li Fire!”
“Kui-sheng-zi-jiang, Dui-ze, Cold Ice!”
One could only see the large flags that flew into the Demon army buzzing loudly.
A flag, with fire light swirling, with each large flag surface of several zhang erupting, that fire light rose with the wind, forming fireballs several zhang in size, igniting the Void Realm, transforming into streaks of fire lines, charging wildly through the Demon army.
Soon, this already crowded battlefield ignited with a blaze, and those charging, or more directly, those Demon Soldiers who were pushed down, were the most unlucky, being struck by the fire light and quickly engulfed by the flames.
As for those behind, they roared continuously, spitting out Devilish Light to resist.
And this was not over yet; one could only see the Formation Flags flying out from behind, spinning with a whoosh, and streaks of frosty white Qi emerging, rapidly spreading, freezing the Demon figures that were on fire.
Under the dual assault of ice and fire, the sound of ice cracking rapidly resounded with a “crash,” and the charred flesh and blood of one Demon Soldier after another cracked open from the freezing, their bodies falling from the sky like dumplings, shattering into ice shards.
After one round, countless Demons were killed and wounded, clearing a section of the Void Realm ahead, but very quickly, dense Demon shadows rapidly filled it, seemingly inexhaustible.
At this moment, with the Formation exhausted, the sound of drawn sabers rose, and layers of iron cavalry came trampling through the Void Realm. The clanging of iron armor resounded through the night sky. Each heavily armored cavalryman, with one hand raising his saber and the other clutching a talisman, slapped a “Vajra Talisman” onto his body and smeared an “Edge Sharpening Talisman” onto his saber. The two talismans provided defense and made the saber’s glow sharper, offering both offense and defense.
After completing these actions, the horses thundered through the Void Realm, and thousands of horses neighed in unison. Under the night sky, a black line formed by an iron-armored torrent, spanning several li in the Void Realm, directly collided with the dense Demon army.
“Kill!”
The shouts of battle shook the heavens, and streaks of Saber Qi agitated the Void Realm, intertwining with the black Devilish Qi.
The next second,
“Boom boom boom!”
“Hiss hiss hiss!”
Saber light swept, Devilish Qi surged, and the battlefield at the intersection of the two armies instantly turned into a meat grinder. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere, and the Void Realm was filled with a tragic Aura.
This battle was several times more tragic than the battle at Weiyuan Pass. Human shouts, horse neighs, and the roars of Demons mingled, and many soldiers bled on the spot.
But the Three Passes Prefecture Army, strictly adhering to orders, stomped their flags and raised their sabers, firmly trapping the Demon army within a confined area.
“So much nonsense. If we drag this on any longer, these Human Race soldiers won’t be able to resist our Sacred Clan for much longer. Instead of wasting words here, why don’t we first open up the battlefield and see how many of us he can stop!” The Zhuhuai Demon General was furious, each with his own idea, preparing to charge down and blast open the Human Race soldier’s defense line below, allowing the Demon brats to run wild and give them room to maneuver, before fighting the Human Race Martial Armory again.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the other Demon Generals let out strange cries.
“Not good!”
“What is that Human Race Zhonglang General trying to do?”
Above the passage behind them, Chen Yuan was seen seizing the Wicked Dragon’s Primordial Spirit and collecting the Great Demon’s Physical Body into his sleeve, after which the spear roared loudly.
He did not continue to charge into the Demon horde, but instead, the Dharma Eye between his brows flowed with golden light, surveying the vast passage. Then, holding his long spear, he directly threw the heavy, mountain-like spear towards a spot at the passage entrance.
At the same time, those few dragon binding cords and the Dragon Horn Twin Swords tacitly followed the great spear, blasting that spot!
Immediately, a loud bang resounded, and the night sky seemed to shake. And that enormous blood-red passage connecting heaven and earth trembled even more violently, with blood light flickering wildly on it.
“He wants to destroy the teleportation passage!”
A thought instantly popped up in the minds of the seven Great Demons.
This Human Race Zhonglang General wants to keep them here!
This sent a chill down the spines of the few Great Demons who wanted to continue fighting together, their hair standing on end. Damn it, this cursed fellow, after killing three Demon Generals, actually dared to think of keeping all of them here.
They were both angry and anxious, feeling a suffocating rage with nowhere to vent. But since the opponent dared to do this, he didn’t intend for them to return alive.
They came aggressively, but in the blink of an eye, they were beaten so badly they couldn’t even get out the door. Above, the Human Race Martial Armory killed several Demon Generals, making them afraid to show their faces, and below, tens of thousands of Human Race iron cavalry blocked their Demon brats at the spring. How could they not feel aggrieved?
“What else are we doing?”
“Stop them!”
“Beat the Human Skin Drum! Retreat!”
“If we don’t beat the drum now, it might be too late.”
Soon, the seven Demon Generals became anxious, letting out roars and charging into the passage entrance, holding various Demon weapons. They disregarded the minor Demon Soldiers at the passage entrance and unleashed various Divine Ability towards Chen Yuan, who was attacking the passage.
At this moment, Chen Yuan’s silver armor was shattered, stained with some mottled blood, and his hair was somewhat disheveled. This was the injury he sustained from forcefully breaking through the defense line and enduring a combined attack from five Great Demons, but his eyes were terrifyingly bright at this moment, his spirit full. Seeing the seven Great Demons move in unison to stop him, a sinister smile appeared on his lips.
“Satisfying!”
“You two, why don’t you show yourselves? Today, let’s do something big.” Chen Yuan turned his head and stared at the seven tall Demon figures, licking his lips, and said sinisterly, “Let’s slaughter all these guys!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a wild, unrestrained cry immediately resounded in the Void Realm.
“Little Chen, Old Man has exerted so much effort today; I want a share of these Great Demons’ Physical Bodies and Primordial Spirits. These are all treasures.”
“By the way, that trace of Dragon Clan Bloodline within the Wicked Dragon can help the North Sea Dragon Girl recover from her injuries.”
As the voice resounded, the “heaven-reaching” dragon binding cord was seen flicking upwards, and a gourd was tossed near Chen Yuan. At the same time, the eight Kun Long Locks, like the tentacles of some primordial giant Demon, clanged their iron chains across the Void Realm, sweeping towards the charging seven Demon figures.
At the same time, a high-pitched, clear Dragon roar suddenly rose. The two Dragon Horn Twin Swords, which were bombarding the passage with the Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear, buzzed, flew back, collided in the Void Realm, and emitted a crisp Dragon roar.
Following this, the silver light suddenly intensified, and a magnificent silver Dragon body, full of majesty and power, coiled out from within!
The North Sea Dragon Girl revealed her true Dragon body!
As the Dragon Girl revealed her true form, the blood-red passage trembled even more violently than before, as if it could not bear the presence of a Physical Body of this Rank.
“Yin!”
With a Dragon roar, the Dragon Girl directly drove her true Dragon body to pounce on the Great Demons below!
“What?”
The seven Great Demons who charged forward, as some of the few Demons in heaven and earth with Bloodline Legacy, felt the Bloodline suppression at the very first moment, and couldn’t help but shrink their pupils.
True Dragon!
The Aura revealed was that of a half-step Dragon Tiger.
However, the Aura seemed unstable, and she was injured, but this made the seven Demon Generals even more alarmed. Where did this True Dragon come from? Could it be that she had stepped into the Dragon Tiger Realm before being injured?
At this point, the few Great Demons finally panicked. No wonder the Wicked Dragon couldn’t even block a single move and had its head directly severed as soon as it appeared.
“Quickly block the drum!”
Among the Demon army, there were Demons resembling toads, who at this moment spat out a large drum with a red lacquer and white face from their mouths.
The drum was about two zhang in diameter, its drumhead smooth and leathery, and the red lacquer on its body was crimson like blood.
This was the Human Skin Drum!
It used the human skin of high-level martial artists as the drumhead, human bones as the drum frame, and human blood as the lacquer.
The toad-like Demon, receiving the order, took out two white bone sticks and began to beat the Human Skin Drum.
As the drum sounds resounded, the toad-like Demon’s cheeks swelled and contracted, forming two bulging sacs.
“Dong dong… dong!”
Dull, demon-like drumbeats rapidly resounded, with extremely strong penetrating power, like demon music piercing the ears.
Below, on the Void Realm battlefield, the surging and fiercely roaring Demons received the command, letting out unwilling roars, and rapidly retreated towards the passage.
And the Three Passes Prefecture Army, who had intended to pursue, upon hearing this extremely penetrating sound, which was like a heavy hammer striking their eardrums, couldn’t help but let out a painful groan. Those with weaker martial arts Cultivation felt a dizzy spell, and their large horses directly went mad.
“Retreat!”
“Retreat!”
The horses and soldiers were startled.
The Human Skin Drum sounded, not only startling the soldiers and horses, but at this moment, the drum sound also sent out sound waves towards the blood-red passage.
The originally extremely penetrating sound, within the passage, was even more like a grand bell.
“Dong!”
“Dong!”
“Dong!”
The sound traveled through the teleportation passage, transmitting an unknown distance.
Soon, a strong spatial fluctuation came from the distant depths, thousands of li away, connecting to the sky.
Following this, a cracking sound resounded, and the passage trembled violently. Immediately after, a bronze Spirit light surged out from the blood-colored passage, directly enveloping and shining upon the Demon army below.
It also enveloped Chen Yuan, the North Sea Dragon Girl, and the Huanlong Clan.
A strong spatial suction force enveloped their three bodies.
Chen Yuan’s eyes narrowed fiercely, feeling somewhat unwilling. It seemed that the Ten Thousand Mountains’ Demons had deep foundations, being able to perform large-scale teleportation again in a short amount of time.
He was about to tear open a gap in the Void Realm in front of him with both hands, using his spatial Divine Ability to counteract this teleportation force, lest the three of them be teleported to the Ten Thousand Mountains, which would not be fun.
However, he found that despite his efforts, he could only tear open a very small gap.
At this moment, Old Man Dong tossed the wine gourd in his hand above their heads. The green light on Chen Yuan’s body was isolated, and the pulling sensation of the teleportation vanished.
“Little Chen, your spatial Divine Ability is indeed extraordinary, but it has not yet been Cultivated to its essence. This spatial passage was originally opened by countless essence blood and spirits, and it has strong spatial pressure. Your Divine Ability will naturally be affected when opened within it.”
“And this gourd of Old Man is a gourd that grew on a Qi Luck Spiritual Root. It is a Spirit Treasure of Fortune, containing a self-contained space within it. The pressure of this spatial passage cannot suppress it.”
Old Man Dong’s slightly smug voice resounded in Chen Yuan’s ears.
Chen Yuan immediately thought of a question and transmitted his voice to the other party, “Old Man Dong, now that you mention it, Chen has an idea. These guys will be teleported away very soon. When they are about to be teleported, please use the space of this gourd to strip away the green light from their bodies.”
“It can be done! But this opportunity is fleeting, and Old Man can at most capture two at once!”
“Killing one is better than none!” Chen Yuan quickly discussed the strategy with Old Man Dong.
However, just as the spatial fluctuations in the passage escalated to their most intense, an unexpected event occurred!
In the night sky, a cloud of white mist rapidly spread across this Void Realm at a speed incomprehensible to ordinary people.
And under the shroud of this white mist, space seemed to be affected. The teleportation passage, which had been buzzing and glowing with blood light, seemed to have stalled.
The Demon army, waiting to be teleported, as they were engulfed by the white mist, had the green light stripped from their bodies.
And within the white mist, a large ship, under the night, was like a ghost!
Chen Yuan’s third eye twitched, and he saw that night ferry again!
How did this thing come here?
Damn it, it’s not going to try to forcibly take passengers again, is it? (End of this chapter)
