Blood mist pervaded the air as King Lu stood atop the Reincarnation Platform. At this point, a golden light flashed as Chi Feng brought Xie Cheng Dong down onto the Reincarnation Platform. He then revealed his human form and bowed down to King Lu, "Your subject Xie Cheng Dong pays his respects to your majesty."
"Xie Qing, you've finally arrived." King Lu's Adam's apple bobbed as he stared at Xie Cheng Dong. He then took a step forward and extended a hand to help Xie Cheng Dong up. He looked at Xie Cheng Dong from head to toe, and saw that Xie Cheng Dong's eyes were filled with wisdom and wisdom. King Lu couldn't help but be pleased, "Good, good. Today, the king and his subjects are united."
Xie Cheng Dong slowly got up and warmly said, "It's just that I haven't seen Your Majesty for a few months and Your Majesty's countenance is somewhat haggard. This is truly unexpected."
King Lu sighed, "After you left, I knew what I was doing. My command of the army wasn't as sharp as before. Ai … I've failed to thank you, and I've failed in my mission."
After sighing for some time, King Lu then spoke out, "Victory, defeat, life and death are all part of a military strategy. It's not a taboo for a wise man. However, we can't just rely on the will of the heavens. We have to rely on our own strength as well. What do you have now?"
As he spoke, he reached out his hand and tapped out. A wave of information was transmitted, and in that instant, Xie Chengdong understood the current situation. He looked around him and swept his eyes over the bloody mist. "Right now, this world is already between the world of the living and the underworld. Even I have a body, as if I am a living person. It's just that I won't be able to maintain it for long."
"Based on your humble subject's point of view, all schemes and schemes are a waste of time. What we need to do now is to whittle down the enemy's energy. Once they're exhausted, we can strike and kill Pei Zi Yun."
Hearing these words, King Lu laughed out, "That's exactly what I wanted. Pei Zi Yun has plotted against me many times. I want him to die a horrible death."
This space was King Lu's home ground, and everything that had happened thus far surfaced in his mind.
In the distance, the demonic beasts continued to attack the camp. Inside the camp, Li Zhengyuan commanded the Dao officers and guards to defend against them. The stone catapults tossed kerosene into the midst of the demonic beasts.
King Lu opened his eyes, as a beam of light flashed past his eyes. He then shouted, "All troops, listen to my command. The demonic beasts are to attack immediately. We will not rest until we are dead."
There were still some demonic beasts in the forest surrounding the camp. At this moment, they all received the order and looked towards the camp. They gathered and pounced towards the camp.
Hearing King Lu's orders, he then looked at the Blind Daoist who was standing there like a statue. The scholar's eyes turned sour as he looked at the change in the situation. He then lowered his head and didn't speak.
Main Camp
With a 'ka' sound, the door slowly opened. At this moment, an armored soldier shouted from the observation deck, "True Sovereign, the demonic beasts are gathering outside. They are about to surround us."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhengyuan stepped forward. "Immortal, please stay and preside over the ceremony."
"I don't care about these demonic beasts." Pei Zi Yun replied coldly. He didn't seem to care as he sprinted forward. He had only just started killing when he noticed that something was amiss. The demonic beasts were gathering.
"Go!" Running along the road, they passed by a forest of trees, many of which were burning with kerosene. In the distance, several demonic beasts were running, disturbing a patch of grass, but they were blocked by the flames thrown in.
"Roar!" The demonic beasts roared. There were a few that were unconvinced and smashed into the wall of flames. They were burned by the flames and rolled about on the ground, crying out miserably.
On the ground, there were several corpses of scouts who were being torn apart by the demonic beasts. They had probably died not too long ago. These were the scouts that Pei Zi Yun had sent out.
These demonic beasts were in an orderly formation, with a general leading them. They were like sharks that had smelled blood, spying on the camp.
Pei Zi Yun galloped forward on his horse, alerting the other demonic beasts. One of the demonic beasts' eyes lit up as he raised his head and howled.
"Awooo!" Immediately, more than ten werewolves responded and pounced forward. These demonic beasts all had ferocious looks on their faces. Their muscles bulged as they pounced forward.
Everyone on the slope could see everything clearly. Some of their hearts were about to jump out of their chests. However, Pei Zi Yun didn't seem to see anything. He was as steady as a mountain.
One foot, half a foot. The claws and fangs were about to reach him.
A cold light flashed.
In the next moment, dismembered limbs and flesh flew everywhere. Fresh blood spurted out and dyed the ground red. The dozens of werewolves that had pounced forward had been turned into pieces of lifeless flesh.
Pei Zi Yun didn't move. Blood flowed down his halberd.
"True Sovereign is mighty!"
Within the camp, the soldiers and officials had also participated in the battle. However, most of them weren't Pei Zi Yun's match. They had to rely on arrows and kerosene to kill more than ten beasts.
Li Zhengyuan was inspecting the kerosene when he heard the cheers. He immediately came out and saw the demonic beasts charging towards Pei Zi Yun. Pei Zi Yun, who was fully armed, pointed his halberd at the demonic beasts and kicked his horse. He charged into the crowd of demonic beasts, causing blood to splatter everywhere. Another dozen or so demonic beasts fell and turned into pieces.
When Li Zhengyuan saw this, he sucked in a breath of cold air. He saw that Pei Zi Yun had transformed into a god of death, reaping lives. Every time he waved his halberd, the demonic beasts that got close to him would be sliced in half.
"True Sovereign is mighty!"
"True Sovereign is mighty!"
The soldiers shouted out. Li Zhengyuan's expression was one of worry as he asked someone, "Di Dian, you're one of the top experts in the government. What do you think of True Sovereign's martial arts?"
"Governor Ji, True Sovereign's martial arts are indeed terrifying. Look, he's wielding his halberd to kill his enemies. His entire body is relaxed and natural, as if he's one with the heavens."
"Every movement he makes is extremely natural. It's like the sun, moon, and stars are revolving around him, causing me to be dazzled."
"Look, in the blink of an eye, he's killed more than thirty demonic beasts. If this were a battlefield, killing people would be the same. He's truly a man who can defeat a hundred men." Di Dian watched intently as he praised, "Besides, True Sovereign is clad in heavy armor and is riding on a warhorse. His killing power has increased by more than ten times."
"Those so-called experts who don't wear armor can only wait to die when faced with him."
Li Zhengyuan looked over. Although the demonic beasts had weapons, they were slow. Although they were strong, they didn't have many moves. Furthermore, they didn't have any understanding of swords, blades, or spears.
At this point, Pei Zi Yun's heart skipped a beat. He had a feeling that he was hiding among the demonic beasts. His long spear pierced forward at lightning speed.
Pei Zi Yun turned around and pointed his halberd at him. His halberd turned into a beam of cold light. A "ding" sound was heard as the two weapons clashed. However, the Demon General was already bleeding profusely. Pei Zi Yun's halberd was like an antelope hanging by its horns. It left a deep wound on the Demon General's shoulder. Blood gushed out like a fountain.
Di Dian stared blankly at the scene in front of him. His mind was blank. Such a martial arts technique was extremely miraculous. Before he had the time to be shocked, Pei Zi Yun laughed. He could feel the strength of the Demon General. He suddenly had a feeling that his strength had increased in this world.
The demonic beasts screamed for help as they charged towards Pei Zi Yun.
Pei Zi Yun was clad in heavy armor. He didn't move away and allowed the demonic beasts to slash at him.
"Kuang!" The weapons pierced Pei Zi Yun's body, causing sparks to fly. Pei Zi Yun laughed out loud, "Indeed, this is the Mirage Realm. Apart from the Dao Arts that are specifically designed to counter me, everything else has been strengthened. I'm now equivalent to the seventh or eighth level of the Earth Immortal Realm.
"Die!" In that instant, Pei Zi Yun made his move. With a single slash of his halberd, another five or six demonic beasts were sliced into pieces. He then charged towards the Demon General.
Taking advantage of the Demon General's injuries, he wanted to take his life. The Demon General's expression changed as he retreated and hid behind the demonic beasts. With a sweep of his halberd, the demonic beasts in front of him were sliced into two before they could even move.
The Demon General didn't expect Pei Zi Yun to be so invincible. In that instant, his face was filled with fear.
"Berserk Transformation!"
As the halberd descended, the Demon General knew that he couldn't avoid it. He roared in anger and used his demonic arts. His eyes were bloodshot, and his demonic qi overflowed in all directions. The spear in his hand pierced forward. Compared to before, his strength had more than doubled. This was the Demon Realm, which was the most suitable place for demons to unleash their full strength. At this moment, the Demon General could feel that he had unleashed his full strength. He could definitely block this attack.
"Kuang!" Sparks flew everywhere. Pei Zi Yun could feel the Demon General's explosive power. His expression froze, and his brows relaxed. Without hesitation, he hooked his halberd, causing the spear to miss.
"Pu!" A cold light flashed, and the Demon General's face was filled with disbelief. His body was sliced into two, and fell to the ground.
"There are laws of the Demon Realm here, and I can unleash seventy percent of my strength. How could I die?" This was the Demon Realm, and the suction force of the Reincarnation Platform was many times stronger than before. With a flash of the Plum Blossom, the Demon General's demonic soul disappeared.
"How is this possible? My energy is obviously suppressed here." When Li Zhengyuan saw this, he was even more shocked than the Demon General. He mumbled to himself in disbelief. He then heard a Daoist official exclaim, "Could it be that Pei Zi Yun has already reached the seventh or eighth level of the Earth Immortal Stage, and has attained a body of steel that is impervious to swords and spears?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the few people who were looking at the records fell silent. If this was really the case, how far away was Pei Zi Yun from becoming a True Immortal? Perhaps only the Daoist Ancestors in the records could compare to him.
"Troubled times, troubled times indeed."
Another Daoist official mumbled to himself, his face was pale. Li Zhengyuan did not speak as he carefully sensed the changes in the space around him.
"No, it's because of this realm." Although Li Zhengyuan said this, he still continued to record. He then sighed, "If there were people who were impervious to swords and spears, the Imperial Qi would be useless."
Reincarnation Platform
Xie Cheng Dong looked at the densely packed demonic beasts surrounding Pei Zi Yun and frowned, "Your Majesty, this person is trapped in the Demon Realm. He's very intelligent, and he must have realized that we won't be able to survive for long. As long as we delay for more time, we will be able to achieve victory."
"Hence, Pei Zi Yun is charging forward to buy more time."
"However, even if an Earth Immortal has a body of steel, if he doesn't become a True Immortal, he will still get tired." Xie Cheng Dong spoke as his eyes shone brightly, staring at the camp, "Your subject predicts that Pei Zi Yun will charge forward for a while before retreating back to the camp to rest. Now, the camp is Pei Zi Yun's only hope. If we want to kill this person, we have to destroy this camp first."
"We have at most an hour to surround the entire camp. When that time comes, we should focus on attacking the main camp and ignore Pei Zi Yun. This way, we can wipe out the entire camp and surround Pei Zi Yun. That way, we will not be able to catch his breath. That would be the best way to deal with this situation. We shouldn't be relying on tactics like this."
King Lu looked at the camp from afar, his eyes shone brightly, as though he was thinking. When he heard Xie Cheng Dong's words, he laughed out, "Official Xie's strategy is impeccable. If we want to kill Pei Zi Yun, it's indeed best to follow your plan. Even if we don't care about our losses, we can break through the wall of fire and kill our way to the camp. We can then surround Pei Zi Yun and kill him."
"But there's no rush. If we attack the camp now, and even kill Pei Zi Yun, we won't be able to achieve our goal."
"Yes, your Majesty." Xie Cheng Dong understood that King Lu had his own plans and didn't speak further. He took a step back as King Lu turned to the scholar, "In order to lock onto the source, how many demonic spirits do we need?"
"At least 36." The scholar replied bitterly. He had to sacrifice the demonic spirits once again, but he had no other choice.
"Good!" King Lu lowered his voice, his eyes were deep, "For the sake of great things, there must be sacrifices. If he wants to kill, let him kill."
"Men, deploy another troop of demonic spirits. Have them lead the troops and kill them."
"Make sure that Pei Zi Yun kills as many as he can."
The scholar listened as King Lu fell silent. Although he was the one who suggested sacrificing the demonic spirits to reveal the source of the demonic spirits, seeing how King Lu didn't even bat an eyelid, and was willing to sacrifice the demonic spirits, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
