The terrifying aura made everyone tremble with fear.

Even Ying Wuji couldn't help but shiver.

This... at the very least, it's a Demon King.

And there are two of them.

In terms of energy alone, they are much more terrifying than the Phoenix Lady seen before.

Mi Duo's face twitched, and he looked a bit unwell as he said to Ying Wuji, "Wuji! Come with me, prepare for a fight to the death!"

"Yes!"

Ying Wuji immediately responded. This time, there was no more time to waste.

If they continued to watch this forced performance, something would go wrong sooner or later.

It had been heard before that there were a total of three Demon Kings who infiltrated the Central Plains this time. Previously, when they entered the Kunpeng's corpse, they only saw the Phoenix Lady. This time, they finally saw the other two.

There was no more hesitation.

He followed Mi Duo directly into the city.

Outside the city, the situation had reached a critical point.

Nangong Ling looked up at the sky, horrified. The level of these Demon Kings corresponded to the Human Race's comprehension realm and the realm of the Divine Sage and the Saint. But from the looks of it now, their combat power was definitely much stronger than the average Divine Sage realm.

Two Demon Kings, one with an energy as sharp as a blade, and the other with blood energy as vast as the sea.

Nangong Ling had always believed that even if he were placed among the Divine Sage realm, his combat power could rank in the top three. But facing these two Demon Kings, he was truly frightened.

He fought with all his might, but there was no certainty of victory at all.

And now he was in an unprecedented predicament, and he didn't even have the qualifications to fight them.

Twenty thousand Blood Armor soldiers fought to protect the young master's soldiers, and in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, half of them were destroyed. The ones that exploded were his essence, all for the sake of preserving the future of the Zhou royal family. Despite his desperate protection, nearly half of the young master's soldiers were killed or injured.

Not even the bodies were left behind, as they were directly swallowed by passing demons to replenish their energy.

Nangong Ling pierced through a demon's body with his hand and glared at Nangong Yan, "The Demon Kings have arrived. Open a passage for us to enter, or else..."

"Or else what?"

Nangong Yan smiled maniacally, "Or else you'll die? Wouldn't that be a great thing?"

Under Ji Tong's authorization, the forty thousand Black Armor Legion all obeyed her orders, serving as the second line of defense. As long as she didn't give the order, no one could break through this line of defense.

Nangong Ling gritted his teeth, and with a leap, he grabbed Nangong Yu from a distance.

"Yu'er, persuade your sister!"

"..."

Nangong Yu met Nangong Yan's gaze, then quickly looked away. Although she knew this was an illusion, it was also a true projection of Nangong Yan's consciousness.

The hatred was incredibly real.

He dared not look directly into Nangong Yan's eyes, and instead, he picked up the Public Qu Sword and plunged back into the demon horde, leaving behind only one sentence, "Father! I think I can still fight. For the survival of the Human Race, I will fight with all my might. If I die, I die. There's no need to ask for help!"

"You fool!"

Nangong Ling cursed loudly. With the cultivation of the father and son, there was no need to worry about their lives.

But if they lost these treasures, how could the father and son establish themselves in the Zhou royal family?

What a fool!

He spat, glared at Nangong Yan with a cold expression, and then turned to kill the demons.

This time, the elite forces of the Zhou royal family would probably not be able to hold out much longer. At the very least, they had to preserve the essence of the Nangong family's lineage.

"Hmph!"

Nangong Yan snorted coldly and did not pursue.

She hated the Nangong family, but now was not the time to strike.

Losing these elites would undoubtedly cause the Nangong family's status to plummet, which was more painful than killing Nangong Ling.

Moreover.

In a little while, she might have the chance to kill Nangong Ling.

As for now.

She looked into the distance, this time was to establish Ji Tong's authority.

After this battle.

The Black Armor Legion would surely be famous in the world.

This kind of secret method that connected forty thousand strong individuals was incredibly powerful, and their overall combat power had increased by at least three times.

Even if the demon tide continued for three days and three nights, she was confident that they could hold it off.

But these two Demon Kings...

"Caw!"

A desolate crane cry came from a distance, with a hint of immortal charm, but it was as piercing as a sharp needle, causing a headache as if thousands of needles were being driven into the head at the same time.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a white crane with a wingspan of several zhangs circling from the direction of the blood moon.

Every flap of its wings stirred up a gale, giving people the feeling that the mountains surrounding the city would be overturned.

Fortunately, the mountains of the city remained standing.

But what the crane's claws were holding made countless people tremble with fear.

It was a bug.

To be precise, it was a giant bug the size of a building, with a massive body that could even trigger acrophobia in people.

The bug's body was surging with blood energy, and under the moonlight, it looked like a blood sac.

The white crane's body was not small, but compared to the blood sac above, it seemed particularly inconspicuous.The scene.

Ji Tong's eyelids were also twitching.

Demon King!

Insect Queen!

Gu Niang is an insect clan. Although she is different from the insect queen in front of her, her methods are quite similar.

What else can the insect queen do when she comes?

Lay eggs!

Ji Tong stared at the insect queen's full belly of blood and energy, feeling a little numb on his scalp. Could it be that all the blood and energy in Kunpeng's stomach were swallowed by it?

With the support of the terrifying blood and energy of the demon king-level insect queen, what kind of combat power could it erupt?

He hadn't had time to think much.

The white crane had already grabbed the insect queen and suspended her in the sky.

Then, the insect queen's tail flicked, and large eggs fell from the sky.

Before they could even land, they cracked open in the air, turning into flying insects with armored wings like knives, forming groups and sweeping over like a dark cloud that covered the sky.

Brewing a series of indigo sparks.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a sky full of thunder and burning fire.

Under such terrifying power.

Even Nangong Yan's face turned somewhat pale.

"Form up!"

With a command.

The black-armored army instantly formed a formation.

Bursting out waves of sharp sword energy, instantly cutting off countless insect corpses, which fell from the sky with a crash.

But the thunder and fire attack also made them suffer.

And on the other side.

The other half of the fallen insect eggs had already merged into the demon corpses on the ground. The demon stones that had just died in battle actually stood up one by one and charged over fearlessly.

The pressure suddenly surged!

She suddenly felt that the defense line she had thought was indestructible didn't seem as strong as she had imagined.

And Ji Tong also realized that something was wrong.

Looking up, he happened to meet the eyes of the crane demon.

His expression was uncertain, and he was torn between conflicting emotions, not knowing whether he should take action at this time.

The White Crane Demon King also ignored him, and stood quietly beside the insect queen with several other great demons, not giving anyone a chance to attack.

...

Inside the city.

Ying Wuji looked up and couldn't help but curse.

"What the hell! Are there more beasts in the sky?"

This dense mass of them was paralyzing.

Rubbing his scalp, he turned and jumped onto the platform.

Below the platform, the Bai family army and the 30,000 elite Mi clan members were already in formation.

On the platform, the high-level officials of the Chu Kingdom were also ready.

The situation outside the city was extremely dire, and they could no longer afford to sit back and rest.

When Mi Duo and Ying Wuji entered, he immediately said loudly, "No more words! In a quarter of an hour, the entire Chu army will leave the city. Even if you die, you must die outside the city walls. Mi Hua, listen to my orders!"

"Mi Hua is here!"

A middle-aged man who looked six points similar to Mi Duo stood up. He had half a mask on, and half of his face under the mask had been corroded by poison, causing his entire face to be unable to make any expressions. His body was also full of unhealed wounds, and dark red blood oozed from many places.

But his voice was loud, and he was full of fighting spirit.

Mi Duo said in a deep voice, "This time, when we leave the city, Ying Wuji will be the commander, and you will be the deputy commander. The 30,000 elite members of the Mi clan will all follow Ying Wuji's command!"

"Mi Hua listens to your orders!"

Mi Hua answered crisply. He didn't know Ying Wuji's strength, but he didn't have confidence in leading troops.

Looking down, these 30,000 elite members of the clan didn't look like elites now.

Their sharpness.

Had been dulled a lot.

This battle was crucial to the safety of the Chu Kingdom. If the Chu Kingdom's Zhuanxu Seal was broken, the entire Chu Kingdom would live under the radiation of the demon's nest, and the national fortune would be completely cut off.

They should fight with all their might!

Mi Duo's order was not objectionable.

The three main generals of the Qu family all had a change in their expressions.

Qu Yi stopped and said, "Your Majesty, this is not possible! Ying Wuji is so young and has never been in battle. What's the difference between handing over our Chu Kingdom's elite troops to him and sending them to their deaths?"

"Oh?"

Mi Duo's voice was cold, "So it's based on age to judge a hero on the battlefield. Among those who can go to the battlefield, it seems that you, Qu Yi, are the oldest. In that case, Qu Aiqing should be the first fierce general of our Great Chu, right?"

Qu Yi hurriedly said, "I dare not. It's just that this Ying Wuji..."

"Humph!"

Mi Duo shouted angrily, and with a slap, he smashed the table to pieces. "My son Wuji is invincible in the world! You incompetent people who can't win battles on your own dare to try to drag down our Great Chu's first fierce general? If you think Wuji is not capable, then you lead the troops to the front later!"

Qu Yi quickly shut up and dared not speak again.

The other two also remained silent.

Mi Duo snorted and then looked at Ying Wuji, "Wuji! Are these 30,000 elite troops enough?"

Ying Wuji cupped his hands and said, "Returning to Father, Wuji can lead another 6,000!"

This was his estimate of the upper limit of his command and leadership.

"Good!"

Mi Duo turned to look down, "The three families of Qu, Jing, and Zhao each draw 2,000 elite troops and join the main attack team!"

As soon as he finished speaking."Your Majesty, it's not possible!"

"Your Majesty, it's not possible!"

"Your Majesty, it's not possible!"

Three voices sounded at the same time.

The three main generals of the Qu family all spoke out to stop it.

They never thought that they could win on their side. Even if they went out of the city, it was just to be more heroic. With the current strength of the Chu army, they couldn't change the situation on the battlefield. The outcome still depended on Ji Tong and Zhou Tianzi.

If they lost, the Chu Kingdom would collapse.

If they won, everyone would go back to their own homes.

They didn't believe that Ying Wuji could defy fate. Even if he was strong, he was just one person. How could a soldier in the realm of a soldier create miracles with his troops?

But this person was very brave. Just the spear technique that came down from the sky was very inspiring.

If he accidentally won a battle, wouldn't he establish his reputation?

Qu Yi directly ignored the sharp eyes of Mi Duo, and said, "Your Majesty trusts Ying Wuji, and we have no objections. But the armies of the three families of Qu Jingzhao are all our clan's descendants.

When we sent troops in the past, we promised to take responsibility for the lives of our clan's descendants. Even if it means sending them to their deaths, we should take responsibility with them. How can we rely on others?

I am not talented, but I still have the spirit to fight to the death.

This heavy burden!

Should be borne by me!"

The two main generals of Jingzhao echoed in agreement.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

These words sounded passionate, but the motives behind them were truly shameful.

Mi Duo looked at the generals under the platform, as well as the equally disheartened morale of the three families of Qu Jingzhao, and felt even more disgusted.

These people.

Would rather die than hand over their power to others!

"Generals, if you are willing to take responsibility for the lives of your clan's soldiers, have you asked them if they are willing to take responsibility for their own lives?"

Ying Wuji suddenly smiled, took a big step forward, and said in a loud voice, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Ying Wuji. Although I am new to the Chu Kingdom, I have the ambition to rejuvenate the human race. You may not be familiar with me, but you should know that I am very powerful.

I dare not guarantee more.

But I dare say that if you go out of the city with me, there is hope to make a name for yourself and turn the tide.

Even if we lose, I can guarantee that you will die standing in a pool of blood!

Today, it is a disaster for the Chu Kingdom, and soldiers from other countries can bravely kill the enemy.

How can the soldiers of Chu be content to lag behind?

My promise is here. Those who are willing to follow me, please line up behind the main force!"

Qu Yi was suddenly furious, "Ying Wuji, when did you have the right to speak here..."

"Minister Qu!"

Mi Duo's voice was cold, "Is it over? Even the descendants of the three families of Qu Jingzhao are also soldiers of our Chu Kingdom. Do you mean that they don't even have the right to join the main force camp?"

"I dare not!"

Qu Yi was angry, but did not dare to retort, and just swept a cold glance downward, "In that case, those who want to join the main force camp, go ahead!"

His gaze was cold, making the soldiers of the Qu family feel a chill in their hearts.

Their morale was already low, and in the face of such a disaster, most of them could only go with the flow.

The fighting spirit that was already difficult to reignite was extinguished again by Qu Yi's gaze.

Except for some who were naturally more resolute, the vast majority chose to remain silent.

The camp of the three families of Qu Jingzhao only mustered four to five hundred, not even one-tenth of six thousand.

Although they had made a resolute decision.

Their morale could only be considered average.

After all, they knew very well how fierce the disaster was.

Even if Ying Wuji was strong, he was just one person, and the soldiers had not yet been trained. How strong could their combat power be?

Although it was rumored that the Bai family was very strong, only four thousand of them went to the battlefield, and those so-called disciples of the Bai family all looked young and inexperienced, obviously new recruits. How strong could their combat power be?

Going out like this would still be sending them to their deaths.

It was just adding a bit of uncertainty.

This bit of uncertainty.

Was very small.

But it was the last bit of romance for these remnants of soldiers.

Ying Wuji was not angry.

He just laughed loudly and said, "Good! I didn't expect that the three families of Qu Jingzhao still have warriors. In that case, let's go out of the city together!"

After that.

He jumped directly from the platform and landed steadily on the Red Hare horse.

Pointing his spear.

"Out of the city!"

...

On the city wall.

Ji Tong's brow was furrowed.

He had already seen through the tactics of the insect queen. There were only two types of eggs in total. One was covered by thunder and fire in the sky, with extremely powerful force.

The other type carried a large amount of blood and forcibly bonded the demon corpses on the ground, equivalent to unlimited resurrection.

As long as the blood in the queen's abdomen was not exhausted, the demon tide on the battlefield would not diminish at all.

It was very tricky!

He felt that in this situation, he should kill the queen by force.But that crane demon gave him an extremely dangerous feeling. The battle strength of this crane would not be low. Once he took off, he would immediately face the flanking attacks of two demon kings.

Once his spiritual powers were exhausted.

Nangong Yan's Black Armor Army would be defeated in an instant. Once the demon tide pushed down the city walls, it would definitely break the city's defensive formation. Once Zhuanxu's seal was broken, everything would be lost.

If he continued to maintain his spiritual powers on the city walls, the Black Armor Army might still be able to...

It seems like they can't hold on any longer!

The impact of the demon tide came in wave after wave, each one being the strongest attack. In the short time of an incense stick burning, nine waves of impact were launched, and there was no sign of weakening.

Although Nangong Yan's Black Armor Army seemed unbreakable, they became increasingly disheartened in the face of these waves of attacks.

Ji Tong was dumbfounded.

After many years, a sense of despair finally arose and spread in his heart.

He never expected that, under the influence of the Kunpeng Blood Pool, this demon tide would be so fierce.

He even suspected that the blood pool contained not only the blood of demons within the Central Plains, but also the blood of the great demons from the demon realm, all sent here for the purpose of breaking Zhuanxu's seal in this battle.

But he had released them all.

Once Zhuanxu's seal was broken, in just a few short years, the demon race would launch a massive invasion of the Central Plains, something that the current human race would be completely unable to resist.

In such a short time, his new order was completely out of the question.

And all of this...

was something Ying Wuji had once prevented.

If he had another chance...

he would still take the risk.

But that didn't stop him from regretting it now.

He looked up.

Feeling a tightness in his chest, he knew exactly where the critical point was, but the situation of being unable to act rashly made him unable to move.

In just the time of an incense stick burning, the Black Armor Army's second line of defense would completely collapse.

"This..."

Ji Tong's expression had become extremely unsightly.

However, at this moment, he heard a familiar voice.

"You damn ***. Regretting it now?"

As the voice fell,

the city gates swung wide open.

More than thirty thousand troops quickly poured out and formed ranks.

Ying Wuji sat on his Red Hare horse, turned to look at Ji Tong, and raised a middle finger at him. "What are you standing around for? Go deal with that demon queen!"

Ji Tong looked embarrassed. "If I leave, the second line of defense will easily collapse..."

"With me here, it won't collapse!"

Ying Wuji's voice was extremely confident.

This statement drew the gaze of everyone far away.

But all they saw behind Ying Wuji, apart from a few thousand soldiers from the Bai family, was only thirty thousand remnants of the Chu Kingdom's army. The atmosphere became somewhat heavy for a moment.

They had suffered too much on the battlefield and had long lost the mood for mockery.

But they still felt extremely absurd.

Ying Wuque was finding it hard to hold back, wiped the blood from his face, and shouted from a distance, "Younger brother, you didn't run away at this critical moment. You dare to come here to die. I admire you for being a man. But with just you people from the Bai family, it's really not enough to be worth our attention."

He knew the strength of the Bai family very well. They had been taken down by Ying Yue without shedding a drop of blood. Although there were factors of Bai Qing's design in this, the average strength of the Bai family was at most similar to the direct guards of the Zhou royal family, and at most, they were only slightly better in terms of mentality and experience.

But only a little over a thousand of them could go to the battlefield.

The remaining three thousand, who were carrying the name of the Bai family's army, were all elite, but anyone with discerning eyes could see that they were new recruits who had definitely not been in more than two battles.

Added together, they were only a little over a tenth of the number of the Zhou royal family's direct guards.

Just a show!

And the morale of the thirty thousand from the Chu Kingdom had been completely destroyed. Wasn't this just making up the numbers?

These soldiers alone, their real-time combat power was not even as good as the five thousand soldiers brought by the Kingdom of Wu.

The gazes of the other countries were the same.

Ji Tong was already somewhat anxious, and after being spoken to by Ying Wuji in this way, even someone with a good temper couldn't help but sneer, "If you want to fight to the death, then let's have a four-way battle. Fighting to the death might give us a chance of survival. But don't ruin our second line of defense because of your arrogance. With just you people, it's not worth it for me to dig my own grave."

The others remained silent.

Deep down, they already agreed with Ji Tong's words.

Even if the Bai family was strong, with just this small number of people, could they really defy fate?

Unless you can use these crippled soldiers from the Chu Kingdom as part of the Bai family.

Otherwise, even if you, Ying Wuji, are the strongest in the realm of martial arts, at most, you can only be considered a sharp blade.

A sharp blade can cut down enemies, but it can't break through thousands of troops and horses, let alone cut down this demon nest.

But...

To dare to come and die is already commendable courage.

In this situation, it's a matter of coming to accompany us in our burial, right?

Although they all came to Yucheng with their own thoughts, at this point, the only path left was to face life and death together with Yucheng.

If the demon nest was allowed to escape at this time, they would be ridiculed by the world for the rest of their lives.

In despair,

hearing Ying Wuji's nonsensical words,

everyone felt both relieved and absurd.It is estimated that the first battle encountered such a desperate monster tide, and the mind has long been lost, right?

However.

Ying Wuji's eyes were very clear, and there was no sign of mental disorder at all.

Just a faint smile.

His right hand reached into his arms.

Took out a handful of soybeans.

Everyone: "......"

They were stunned.

What?

Do you want to perform a magic trick with soybeans? Don't play...

"Wow!"

The soybeans filled the sky, and when they fell, they had already turned into ten thousand elite soldiers.

Strong and energetic, not inferior to Nangong Ling just now.

Everyone: "......"

Ying Wuque: "???"

Ji Tong: "???"

Mi Duo: "......"

His eyes were about to pop out.

This...this...how does it look like a complete magical power!

Didn't my son just break through the realm of soldiers?

What's going on with this magic trick of turning soybeans into soldiers?

Nangong Ling's unique skill.

Why is it all mastered by him?

Ji Tong's eyes twitched violently, and many people can comprehend the essence before breaking through the realm of soldiers, but no one has ever jumped directly from the realm of soldiers to the realm of spirit comprehension. The reason is simply that relying solely on the strength of the fetal transformation realm and the strength of the soul, it is impossible to fully comprehend the strength of the spirit.

But this Ying Wuji...

Spirit comprehension!?

His heart suddenly twitched.

It's over.

Can't control it.

However, Ying Wuji's actions have not stopped.

His whole body burst out with true energy, and suddenly emitted tens of thousands of threads, completely connecting the dantian of more than 40,000 people, and the threads condensed into something like meridians, and in an instant, more than 40,000 people became a whole.

Ji Tong: "???"

Nangong Yan's unnamed true energy, and the part of the creation he comprehended?

He wanted to curse for the first time in hundreds of years.

What is this?

The true energy of more than 40,000 people is connected together, and it suddenly becomes as vast as an ocean.

The sudden feeling of abundance made the morale of the more than 30,000 soldiers of the Chu Kingdom who had accumulated the haze of the demon troubles for many years instantly rise, and half of the haze accumulated over the years was swept away in an instant.

But things are not over yet.

Ying Wuji casually threw out a wooden man, which instantly turned into an identical person and jumped directly onto the city wall.

Everyone: "???"

External incarnation?

Wait...

Something seems wrong, let me count.

Turning soybeans into soldiers, creating life, and having an external incarnation...

Three magical powers?

So this is not the realm of soldiers.

Pseudo, pseudo-saint?

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the external incarnation on the city wall, only to see him pick up the drumsticks and hit the war drum heavily.

The deep drum sound spread out, and everyone who heard the drum sound suddenly surged with a sense of killing intent, even if the true energy in their bodies had already shown signs of exhaustion, they were still stimulated with extremely high fighting spirit.

Ying Wuque shuddered and his voice became sharp: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! He has no secret realm, how could he comprehend the domain of killing."

In the past, Ying Yue used the domain of killing to exchange for an external incarnation, without a secret realm, and even with Zhao Ji's talent, he had never been able to comprehend it for many years.

How could Ying Wuji...

The elder of the Ying family next to him added: "Not only the domain of killing, Prince, have you not felt...the slaughter of life and the slaughter of souls?"

Ying Wuque: "......"

The slaughter of life and the slaughter of souls, a hereditary magical power of the Ying family, both physical and spiritual attacks are fully unleashed.

It is just a single magical power, but it unexpectedly can be linked with the domain of killing.

This...

Both physical domains were fully opened, covering tens of thousands of people in an instant, and the originally low morale suddenly rose.

"Take!"

Ying Wuji tapped the spear, and the long spear immediately emitted a clear and melodious tremor.

He looked up at Ji Tong: "I will handle the situation below, you go and kill the mother insect, if you can't kill it, don't come back, you waste!"

After that.

He kicked the horse's buttocks.

With a loud neigh of war horses, the second line of defense presided over by Nangong Yan immediately opened up a huge gap.

He led nearly 50,000 elite soldiers to rush out.

No defense.

All offense.

On the night of the full moon, the monster tide appeared to be on the defensive for the first time.

The monster tide, which was originally like a landslide, was actually forcibly opened up.

Interweaving.

Division.

Erosion.

The battle formation was rigorous and flexible, and even if the troops were divided, they still formed a whole.

The thirty thousand Chu army was almost ecstatic.

They had been beaten down by the monster tide for a whole year. At the beginning, they had the intention to fight back, but later, they were exhausted and could only bear the beating.

But now.

With the connection of nearly 50,000 people's true energy, they even had the illusion that they could destroy the world with a single move.

Under the blessing of the domain of killing and the slaughter of life and souls, their personal combat power increased several times over.And Ying Wuji's transmission command was methodical and orderly, so there was no need to worry about any instability in the formation.

What shocked them the most in a hundred years was...

Every soldier of the Bai family had a ground-level spell in their hands. Even the puppets created by Ying Wuji were constantly using various small spells.

Having lived for so long...

They had never heard of puppets created by scattering beans being able to cast spells.

All of these things combined even made them feel that the demonic tide was as fragile as tofu...

The Chu army, who had the opportunity to join the main force just now but was sent back by Qu Yi, was also stunned.

The clown brothers who used to travel together have already turned the tables and become famous.

And themselves...

They were still clowns.

The huge gap made them almost faint.

Although they didn't say it out loud, they all cursed in their hearts: Damn it!

Qu Yi!

"Sigh..."

"Sigh..."

"Sigh..."

The sound of inhaling cold air echoed up and down the city wall.

The scene of the pseudo-saint leading the charge was too shocking for them.

They even doubted.

The people they were fighting against, were they the same demonic tide we were fighting against?

But this shock only lasted for a moment.

Although Yucheng was surrounded by mountains on three sides, the side that was exposed was an extremely vast open space. Ying Wuji used a charging formation, which indeed greatly restricted the demonic tide, but there were still demons rushing towards the city wall. Ji Tong had already withdrawn his spirit after summoning the heavenly dry insect, and now they had to defend with all their might.

The pressure lessened a bit.

But it was not something that could be taken lightly.

They even forgot about the shock of Ying Wuji using five spirits in a row as a pseudo-saint.

And they threw themselves back into the battle.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

Accompanied by the separation of demon heads, blood arrows gushed out.

Ying Wuji specifically targeted the killing of the big demons. This was the first time he had fully unleashed his firepower like this, and this state of being filled with power gave him an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

With the support of the battle formation, he felt like the most powerful sharp blade in the world.

Targeting the big demons!

No matter how strong the big demons' physical bodies were, under the impact of his forces, they were nothing but trash.

Sometimes, he didn't even need a weapon to turn them into minced meat.

But...

All of this was exchanged for Zhuan Xu's blood-igniting technique.

Even if his physical body was strong, supporting five spirits at the same time was a real overload.

He was constantly in a state of overexertion.

In the time it took to charge just now, he had already consumed a month of his lifespan.

But he was somewhat reluctant to give up this kind of pleasure.

No wonder the kings of Kingdom Li have short lives. Although it's overexertion, it feels so good...

But this was not a long-term solution.

At first, he thought he could grit his teeth and overexert himself to directly defeat the main force of the demonic tide.

But as he fought, he realized something was wrong. Damn it, how can these demons keep resurrecting!

He looked up and saw that Ji Tong had already engaged in battle with the white crane demon king.

Both sides were evenly matched, and neither was superior to the other.

At least.

With the white crane demon king there, it was impossible to threaten the insect queen in the short term.

And the insect queen's abdomen still contained an incredibly vast amount of blood energy, which was definitely accumulated over many years and could not have come solely from the demon blood in the Central Plains' demon nest.

If they continued to fight head-on.

Even if the effect of slaughtering souls could forcibly destroy the parasitic demon in the demon corpse.

The insect queen could still consume three of his lives.

No!

This won't work.

Ying Wuji's scalp tingled. The difficulty of this matter had exceeded his imagination. In order to achieve success this time, the demon race had been playing a virtual and deceptive game with Zhou Tianzi and Ji Tong for so long, how could they not have any cards up their sleeves.

Just what they had revealed now.

Made it very difficult for him to see a chance of winning.

So the key issue was still the insect queen.

Only by cutting open her belly and dispersing the demon blood could there be a chance of success.

But the current situation was very awkward.

Ji Tong was entangled by the white crane demon king, whose feathers were like blades, and his techniques were exquisite. One demon was enough to entangle Ji Tong. Moreover, there were several big demons around the insect queen.

He could go up and kill them by force, but as soon as he left, it was very likely that the entire line would collapse. If he tried to operate with his external body...

He might not be able to survive the fight.

"Contract the battle line!"

Ying Wuji gritted his teeth and led the charge back.

The area in front of the city wall, nearly half a mile, had turned into a hellish melee, and everyone was fighting with great difficulty.

This place even gave the impression that both soldiers and big demons were worthless.

Although Ying Wuque had not yet broken through to the soldier realm, his true strength from the secret realm was already not weak even in the soldier realm.

But now.

He was still feeling suffocated and short of breath. If it weren't for the Wu family's awakened god-realm experts protecting him, he would probably have died several times already.Just like that, under the effect of the Massacre Soul Reaping, the corpse-controlling insects were massively exterminated.

I can't hold on much longer.

At this moment, a booming voice rang out.

"Purge the demons!"

"Form up the battle line!"

The next moment, a series of hoofbeats came thundering, crisscrossing swiftly in front of the city walls.

With each pass, they took a swath of demons with them.

The battle that had been at a stalemate was suddenly cleared, creating a large vacuum area.

Everyone: "......"

Just...cleared out like that?

Ying Wuji shook his blood-flamed hand, cursing under his breath, "Damn! What are you staring at? I'm covered in blood here, form up the formation quickly!"

Only then did everyone snap out of it and quickly formed a defensive line.

This time, Ying Wuji connected the entire army of hundreds of thousands beneath the city walls, swiftly withdrew his other divine powers, and canceled Zhuanxu's Blood Burning Technique.

He was numb to it all.

Show off for five seconds.

Burn life for two hours.

You really can't hold on anymore!

"What's wrong?"

Ying Wuque, now lacking the boost from Massacre Soul Reaping, was quite displeased and couldn't help but mock, "Are you cherishing your life?"

Ying Wuji: "Shut up, you Sima waste!"

Ying Wuque: "......"

Everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, as they too had noticed Ying Wuji's predicament.

Killing was possible, but it was ineffective.

Burning blood offered no hope at all.

But what to do now?

An elder with the surname Ying cleared his throat and asked from a distance, "Young Master...what do we do now?"

Wow!

Now someone's playing the relative card.

Under normal circumstances, Ying Wuji would have already cursed everyone around him.

But he really wasn't in the mood right now.

What to do?

"I don't know either!"

Ying Wuji grimaced, suddenly understanding Ji Tong's earlier dilemma.

The only difference was that he had more people forming the formation this time, so they wouldn't be quickly overwhelmed by the demon tide.

But with the Queen Insect's reserves of blood energy, it was only a matter of time.

The moment he left, they would surely fall into a disadvantage.

But the White Crane Demon King in the sky was too strong, and Ji Tong would have a hard time achieving anything in a short time.

Perhaps...

Use the Heaven-Earth Ultimate Formation right on the spot?

Ying Wuji thought of the last technique his father-in-law had taught him. With the number of people on his side, if he could find an opportunity to use the people as a base for a large formation, trapping all the demon nests and isolating the Queen Insect, it might be possible to destroy them all.

But there were three problems.

First, it would take too long.

Second, it would consume a lot of life energy, which he could barely accept.

Third, the formation required him to fully trust the people who would serve as the foundation. If anyone with ill intentions got mixed in, it could be disastrous.

Currently, there weren't enough people he could fully trust to support the foundation of a formation of this scale.

But if he didn't use this method...

He really had no other options.

Unless another being appeared, powerful enough to kill the Queen Insect.

But looking at the Queen Insect's side, surrounded by a bunch of powerful demons, even Daoist Qing Xu would be in doubt.

It seemed like a dead end.

Ying Wuji couldn't help but feel a wave of despair.

But just then...

From the direction of the bright moon, there appeared specks of light.

They seemed like shadows, faintly reflecting brightness.

As they got closer...

One could barely make out that these were cultivators flying on their swords.

Each one of them, with their robes fluttering, looked incredibly ethereal.

Then...

Daoist Qing Xu's clear voice echoed through the night sky.

"I, Qing Xu, along with all the disciples of the Supreme View, have come to assist the new Saint in quelling the demons!"

Ying Wuji: "!!!"
