The entire battlefield was covered in a thick layer of red. Li Yunyong shouted out and was about to rush out. Gao Guang saw this and laughed out loud, "True Sovereign has predicted this. Men, let's see if you can defend against these stones."
As he spoke, he waved his hands, and several tents were opened up. There were over a hundred catapults aimed at the entrance of the camp.
"Let's show these traitors how powerful we are." An officer cursed. He then heard an order, "Release!"
"Boom!" Nobody expected that these catapults could be used in such a manner. Although these catapults were small in size, each of them weighed at least a few kilograms. When they came crashing down, they were even more powerful than crossbows.
Although Li Yunyong was confident in his own martial arts, against these catapults, he knew that he would definitely die. He turned around and fled.
"Boom!"
Huge stones fell from the sky. A rider was running away when he was hit by one of the stones. Before he could even make a sound, both he and his horse were flattened into meat paste.
"Ah!" He screamed out in pain as hundreds of stones fell from the sky. Even if it was just a small piece, as long as it grazed him, he would lose half of his body.
Li Yunyong exerted all his martial arts and dodged continuously. After dodging a few stones, he heard another order and the stones that covered the sky came crashing down towards him. Li Yunyong could no longer dodge and with a shout, he chopped down with his saber. Immediately, the saber and his arm were smashed into pieces. The remaining force continued to fall and Li Yunyong was sent flying backwards.
Along with the bloody light, a demonic spirit appeared and was about to head towards the reincarnation platform. There was a buzzing sound as a yellow aura flashed past. It was Imperial Qi.
At the small pavilion on the hillside, the blind Daoist was initially expressionless. At this point, his expression changed as he shouted out, "King Lu, how dare you do this?"
The scholar looked at the blind Daoist's expression and asked, "Your majesty, what's wrong? Did something happen? "
The blind Daoist looked much older than before. He was dark and skinny, and had a dark expression on his face. His tone was sinister, "Hm, what a good Imperial Qi. King Lu's Imperial Qi doesn't have its own consciousness, but it has its own instincts."
"Us demon soldiers and generals borrow King Lu's Imperial Qi. We are his subjects. I'm afraid that King Lu's soul has been affected by the heavens. He is using his status as a demon general to fight with me for the demonic spirit. He might even be using this to devour the reincarnation platform."
"What?" The scholar was shocked, as if he couldn't believe it.
The Blind Daoist's face was dark as well. He raised his head and looked up. Snow was falling from the sky, and the sky was dark. A crack appeared in the clouds, and the moonlight shone through. It looked like an eye.
"As expected of someone who originally ruled over the world. Heaven's Will, this world still wants to retaliate at this time. Not only did we fail to steal a chicken, but we also suffered losses."
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" The scholar then realized that he had been infected by King Lu and wanted to use this as a cover to cross the sea. When the world realized what was going on, it realized that it wanted to make use of King Lu's Imperial Qi to devour the demons. At this point, the scholar panicked as he looked towards King Lu's army.
The blind Daoist's face flushed red as his eyes gleamed, "King Lu, I originally wanted you and Pei Zi Yun to be heavily injured. But now that you've been defeated, you can't blame me for this. Who asked you to receive orders from the heavens to deal with me and the demon race? Since that's the case, I shall send you to the heavens. "
As he spoke, he saw that the first batch of soldiers had been completely annihilated. The foot soldiers were now engaged in a fierce battle with the rest of the army. The two groups of cavalry were attacking King Lu's main army, while the main army resisted. Overall, King Lu's army was at a disadvantage.
"At this point, even if I have the Imperial Qi, I still have to fight. How much energy do I have left to spare? Haha! "The blind Daoist laughed out. He knew that the Imperial Qi had no time to spare. Without hesitation, he closed his eyes.
"Boom!" His primordial spirit leaped out, as it transformed into a giant with three faces. It reached out in the air, as if it was trying to grab something. At this point, a voice rang out, "In my name as the acting King of Demons, possess your demonic Qi and demonic souls. Get rid of the influence of the Imperial Qi and return to the Reincarnation Platform."
"Boom!" As soon as this command was given, the sky was filled with the sound of thunder. The scholar's eyes gleamed with a strange light as he looked up. He saw that on the battlefield, the soldiers of the Lu army were fighting with their lives on the line. When they heard this command, the demonic Qi around them started to vibrate, as if a strong suction force was trying to suck the demonic Qi away from them.
The demonic souls that were possessed by the generals tried to escape when they heard this command.
However, with a single roar, the Imperial Qi around the soldiers and generals started to suppress them, not allowing them to leave.
"Joining is easy, but leaving is difficult." The scholar understood this logic. This was a common practice in any organization. However, this was still a form of power. Traces of black Qi were still being sucked out of the Imperial Qi.
"Roar!" Another dragon's roar could be heard. In the eyes of the scholar, above the Lu army, a black flood dragon could be seen. The flood dragon's scales were torn, and fresh blood was dripping from its body.
This time, it wasn't a big deal. The soldiers below who were initially ferocious and valiant, suddenly felt a wave of dizziness wash over them. A demon general was leading a group of soldiers, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with killing intent. At this point, he felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
"Dang!"
The two blades clashed, and the demon general's blade flew out of his grasp. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. This demon general was originally a low-ranking officer, and was in charge of five to ten soldiers. That was why the Demonic Qi had seeped into his body. It was only because of his innate talent that he was able to stand out from the rest.
"No!" The general screamed as he fell from his horse. He had a look of disbelief on his face. The next moment, the horse's hooves landed on him, and he was turned into a pile of meat.
"Die!" At this point, Pei Zi Yun was struck by the blade as well. The armor on his left shoulder had been sliced open, but it wasn't deep. His body leaned back slightly, and the tip of the spear barely missed his forehead by an inch. He felt a sharp pain in his eyes, but his hands weren't satisfied. He twisted his halberd, and the crescent shaped spear slashed across his opponent's face.
The enemy general screamed out in pain. His helmet was broken, and blood flowed from his face. He was even missing an ear. However, the general didn't seem to care, and continued to charge forward like a mad tiger.
Pei Zi Yun didn't dare to be careless. Originally, killing this general wouldn't have been difficult. However, he had already killed eleven generals within the formation. Even an Earth Immortal would feel his energy draining away. At this point, he waved his halberd, intending to deflect the enemy's spear. However, something unexpected happened. The enemy general's body flew out of his saddle, and rolled several times on the ground.
"The enemy general's Demonic Qi is weakening rapidly." Pei Zi Yun's senses were sharp, and he could feel it immediately. The general's face was contorted in pain. A black shadow was about to emerge from the top of his head, and yet another force was trying to trap it within.
"Go to hell!" Pei Zi Yun was shocked and overjoyed at the same time. With a twist of his halberd, the head of the general flew off, and the demonic shadow disappeared.
"Why is the Demonic Qi disappearing?" Pei Zi Yun looked ahead, and saw the entire battlefield in front of him. This wasn't an exception. King Lu's most elite soldiers seemed to have lost their strength at the same time, and were forced to retreat. "The demonic Qi and demonic souls are being sucked away. What's happening?"
Although Pei Zi Yun was surprised, he saw that his soldiers were losing strength, and the demon general was struggling in pain. He knew that this was a rare opportunity. He then shouted out, "The heavens are helping me. Everyone, follow me and charge forward. Let's destroy the enemy."
As soon as Pei Zi Yun shouted out, everyone responded. The drums behind them started beating faster and faster. When Gao Guang heard this, he revealed a look of surprise. This was the agreement. They were about to win, and the entire army had to move out.
"Quick, quick, everyone move out." Gao Guang shouted out.
Regardless of which battlefield it was, everyone could feel that King Lu's army was getting weaker. At that moment, their morale was greatly boosted. Pei Zi Yun took the lead and led his army forward. Originally, they were like an iron bucket, but now that they were killing their way through, they were like a piece of paper. It was as though there was no one there. Screams of pain filled the air, and the soldiers were falling apart. In the blink of an eye, they were closing in on King Lu.
This was the first time King Lu felt that death was so close to him. At that moment, an icy cold killing intent enveloped his entire body, causing his entire body to shiver.
"Damn it." Although King Lu didn't know what was going on, he could sense that something was amiss. At this point, he understood what was going on, "Traitor, how dare you."
Following King Lu's voice, the Imperial Qi split off and sank into the ground.
Underworld, King Lu's Paradise
A black cloud appeared. When it first appeared, it was only a few feet wide. As more and more demonic spirits entered the cloud, it grew by more than ten times its original size. Streaks of blood could be seen within the cloud.
The countless statues below turned into clouds of black smoke that surged forward like a tide, merging with the Reincarnation Platform. Indistinctly, one could see the Demonic Souls of the Demonic Race roaring angrily, spitting out the language of the Demonic Race. Wave after wave, they pounced onto the Reincarnation Platform. The Reincarnation Platform buzzed and shone with a faint light. This light did not seem to be much, but many of the cracks were rapidly mending.
"Boom!" At this point, a thunderous roar could be heard. Red and yellow Qi started to descend from the sky. Strands of black Qi started to gather around the Blind Daoist. The black Qi then transformed into a black Flood Dragon. Its entire body was black and red, and its scales shone brightly. It looked very majestic. However, its entire body was covered in blood, and one of its claws was almost broken. Even so, the black Flood Dragon didn't retreat. Instead, it was enraged. Black flames burned in its eyes, as though it was about to burst out of them.
Just as the black Flood Dragon appeared, the Blind Daoist and the scholar appeared on the Reincarnation Platform. The moment they appeared, the Array of Ten Thousand Demonic Beasts flashed as starlight surrounded the Blind Daoist.
The moment the Blind Daoist appeared, he immediately felt the pressure. When the Flood Dragon saw the Blind Daoist, it swung its tail, as the Imperial Edict in its claws descended.
"Traitor, you deserve to die!" The Dragon Qi transformed into a powerful force, as though it wanted to destroy everything.
"Block it for me!" The Blind Daoist roared. The Reincarnation Platform spun slightly, as a beam of starlight passed through it. There were even constellations revolving within the platform.
"Boom!" The Imperial Edict slammed into the array, causing sparks to fly everywhere, as though a mushroom cloud was formed.
"Pa!" Just then, the tail of the Flood Dragon slammed down viciously onto the Array of Ten Thousand Demons. The Blind Daoist's expression changed as he spat out a mouthful of blood. The entire Reincarnation Platform exploded into crimson flames. There was another "pa" sound as another crack appeared.
Seeing this, the black Flood Dragon continued to attack, causing more cracks to appear on the Reincarnation Platform. The Blind Daoist groaned as black demonic blood flowed from his body. However, a greyish black Qi surged towards him, as though it was trying to repair the Reincarnation Platform and the Demon Emperor's body.
The Blind Daoist's heart ached as he laughed out loud, "King Lu's Dragon Qi, and you still dare to attack me at this point? You're showing signs of defeat on the ground. If King Lu dies, you'll become powerless. Why aren't you retreating to protect your master?"
The Blind Daoist waved his hands as demonic blood flowed from the corners of his eyes. He looked extremely fearful. This world had a restrictive effect on the demon race, and he wasn't a complete Demon Emperor. Although he could still hold on, he was in fact destroying the foundation of the entire demon race. At this point, the Blind Daoist's hatred burned fiercely. By the end of his shout, his voice was extremely sharp, "Do you really want to perish together with me?"
Following the Blind Daoist's voice, King Yang Shilu groaned as blood flowed from his nose. A sense of fear crept into his heart, "When my army rises, I will always be victorious. Don't tell me I'm going to perish here?"
"No!"
