The sky was dark, and dark clouds covered the sky. There was a tinge of red in the sky, and under the illumination of the flames, groups of demonic beasts could be seen. As the war drums beat, the demonic beasts started to move.
However, the ground was still burning with oil. The demonic beasts instinctively felt fear, and didn't dare to move forward. As the war drums beat, their hearts were filled with the desire for human flesh and blood, and their minds were filled with commands, "Go, kill them all."
Instincts and commands were fighting. However, as the war drums beat faster and faster, the demonic beasts started to gather. Their eyes were filled with greed and ferocity.
"Kill!" King Lu sensed all of this and stood up. He then gave an order to all the demonic beasts around the camp, "Citizens of the demon race, for the sake of our great cause, kill them all!"
"Awoo!" In a split second, the demonic beasts that were hesitating charged forward. Several demon generals charged forward as well, hiding their Qi and energy. They were waiting for the right moment to strike.
"Don't panic, get ready!" Pei Zi Yun looked up and saw hundreds of demonic beasts. No, it was a thousand to two thousand demonic beasts, with tens of demon generals hidden among them. They charged forward like a wave.
"Wait a little longer, the demonic beasts are about to enter the area filled with firewood." Pei Zi Yun tried to calm them down. Below them, there were trees that had been cut down, and were covered with oil.
As he calmed them down, the officials and soldiers who were in a panic regained their composure. This was especially so for the soldiers who had been through hundreds of battles. Their panic was due to fear of the unknown.
"Two hundred meters, a hundred meters, seventy meters."
The demonic beasts got closer and closer, as they opened their jaws. Sharp teeth could be seen, as if they were about to tear the people in front of them into pieces.
"Peng, peng, peng!" Pei Zi Yun could hear the hearts of the people around him beating rapidly. He raised his hand and looked at the demonic beasts before waving his hand, "Release!"
The flaming oil had been prepared for a long time. At that moment, it was tossed out.
"Boom!" The flaming oil landed on the firewood, causing it to burst into flames.
"Awoo!" The demonic beasts rolled on the ground, as the oil exploded. The flames burned the demonic beasts as they screamed in agony.
"Shoot!" As soon as the order was given, the sound of arrows raining down was heard. However, the effect of the arrows wasn't great. The demonic beasts had scales, fur, and weapons. Some had sharp teeth and claws. All of them roared as they advanced.
"Pierce!"
In the army, their martial arts were ordinary, but everyone was skilled in teamwork. Their tacit understanding could be said to be deep in their bones. At this moment, with a command, dozens of spears pierced through the gaps in the fence.
"Pu pu pu!" The demonic beasts that pounced towards the fence immediately let out miserable cries. A bear demonic beast that had pounced too close was focused fire, and several spears pierced deep into its body.
The demonic bear let out a deafening roar and slammed its paw on the fence, causing it to shake. Then, "Pu Pu Pu", another three long spears pierced through the demonic bear's fur and pierced deeply into its body.
The bear demon couldn't take it anymore and fell down, fresh blood flowing out continuously.
"Kill!"
At this moment, several Demon Generals among the demonic beasts leapt up and leapt onto the fence. There was even an Eagle Demon descending from the sky, its sharp claws rapidly descending. With a flash of blood, two soldiers who were resisting let out blood-curdling screams as half of their skulls were clawed off, their brains splattering everywhere.
"As expected, without Dao techniques, the demon race is truly terrifying."
"Of course, this is the Mirage Realm. It's not easy to become a demon in the real world, let alone so many of them." In the blink of an eye, all around him, he was in a predicament. Feeling the danger, Pei Zi Yun laughed out, "Good — Lightning!"
"Boom!" The Eagle Demon who was descending from the sky was struck by the lightning. It screamed in pain as blood splattered everywhere. A cold light flashed, and a Demon General leapt into the fray.
On the wall that was originally illuminated by the burning flames, the cold gleam of the halberd suddenly filled the air. A kind of fear struck its heart. The person in front of it did not seem to be a mortal, but rather a demonic god that could suppress everything. The demon general was instantly restrained. With a roar, it struggled to break free from the nightmare, but it was already too late. Its body turned cold, and its head flew off.
Pei Zi Yun then grabbed a long spear, "Die."
The long spear pierced through the air, and the Eagle Demon was still struggling. However, the light of the spear flashed, and the long spear pierced through the Eagle Demon. The Eagle Demon fell heavily to the ground, and disappeared in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, he had killed two Demon Generals. Taking advantage of the gap, several demonic beasts leapt over and attacked Pei Zi Yun.
Pei Zi Yun did not dodge. He watched as weapons, claws and fangs landed on his body. Some of them were blocked by his armor, while others pierced through his armor, causing sparks to fly off his skin. He then spun his halberd around his body, and a cold light flashed. All the demonic beasts that had pounced on him fell to the ground, and were sliced into pieces.
Pei Zi Yun's face turned red, as hot air gushed out from his body. He had only rested for a short while before he had to fight again. He had expended a lot of energy. At this point, a sharp aura appeared out of nowhere, and pierced through the air.
Pei Zi Yun immediately understood that this was a Demon General hiding amongst the demonic beasts. He then shouted, "Cloud Wind Form!"
Pei Zi Yun's body moved six inches upwards, and heard a 'pu' sound as the long spear brushed past his body. He felt a chill on his shoulder. Pei Zi Yun shouted out, and struck down with his halberd. The sound of thunder could be heard, and the Demon General spat out a mouthful of blood. The long spear broke into pieces, and the Demon General tried to escape.
The battle was intense, and the Daoist priests were reinforcing the soldiers. However, they could still see some blood. One of the Daoist priests then said, "True Sovereign is injured."
It was hard to tell if he was happy or worried. Li Zhengyuan looked closely and said, "True Sovereign only suffered a small scratch."
"We're all in the same boat now. If something happens, none of us can escape."
Looking closely, some demonic beasts took the opportunity to stab into his wound. Sparks flew everywhere, and the Demon General was unable to stab any deeper. Pei Zi Yun then grabbed his weapon and slammed it down heavily. Seven or eight demonic beasts around him were sent flying.
Amidst the flames, the demonic beasts continued to attack, and the sounds of battle shook the heavens. King Lu's black eyes gleamed as he asked, "How many are there now?"
The scholar who had followed him replied in a hoarse voice, "Thirty-three."
King Lu took several steps forward and looked at the charred corpses on the hillside. There were at least two to three thousand of them. He then sighed, "For an Earth Immortal to reach such a stage, he can truly control the fate of the country."
The kerosene was still burning, and many of the demonic beasts had stopped moving. Xie Cheng Dong watched on, his expression was extremely serious. However, he laughed, "Your Majesty, not only has this world strengthened us, it has also strengthened Pei Zi Yun's strength. If not, he wouldn't have ended up in such a state. Furthermore, he has the support of thousands of soldiers behind him. Furthermore, the kerosene has disrupted our battle strategy. If not, he wouldn't even have lasted the first round of attacks."
"However, no matter how strong Pei Zi Yun is, he's already exhausted. The soldiers inside are exhausted as well. Besides, we don't have much time left. It's time for us to strike."
King Lu looked towards the camp and nodded his head, "You're right. We can't give our enemies any chance to rest. My personal army, press on!"
The thousands of demonic beasts and the two thousand soldiers started to move out.
The war drums were neither too fast nor too slow. Every beat of the drums resonated in everyone's hearts. Soon after, the three thousand soldiers charged forward.
"Shoot!" The sound of the drums piercing through the air as they charged forward. "Boom!" Many of them fell to the ground, but the demonic beasts didn't seem to notice. They continued to charge forward. Although they were exhausted, there weren't many casualties on the barricade. Many cracks appeared on the barricade, as blood and bodies stacked on top of each other.
"Kill!" Under the support of the Daoist Officials, everyone fought with all their might, blocking the demonic beasts.
Behind them, Li Zhengyuan hurried over. He looked at Pei Zi Yun who was panting heavily as he retreated. He then walked up to him and whispered, "True Sovereign, we've held on for almost a full day. These demonic beasts are very organized, and are extremely cunning. The kerosene is becoming less and less effective, and the demonic realm hasn't disappeared yet. Could there be a problem?"
Pei Zi Yun panted heavily as he looked at Li Zhengyuan, "That can't be. To maintain such an enchantment, the consumption of energy is too great. The Sky Stealing Technique wouldn't be able to last till the second day. If it could really trap us here, wouldn't that be the power of a True Immortal? No, it would require the power of a True Immortal. "
Pei Zi Yun spoke coldly. Li Zhengyuan opened his mouth. Logically, he knew that Pei Zi Yun was right. It was just that the situation was getting more and more dangerous.
"Give me a minute, and I'll be able to recover and fight again." Pei Zi Yun gulped down the ginseng soup and closed his eyes, ignoring Li Zhengyuan. Li Zhengyuan opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. Pei Zi Yun's position was the highest, and he was the one who gave the orders. Furthermore, he had killed hundreds of corpses just now. It was only natural for him to rest.
However, humans were like that. The more effort they put in, the more they would be treated as a matter of course. Now that they had retreated, Li Zhengyuan knew that his emotions weren't right, but he still felt a tinge of resentment. He shook his head to get rid of these emotions, and took a deep breath, "Everyone, hold on. Do your best to kill the enemies!"
The soldiers were shouting and fighting, and the sounds of battle rang out. Fortunately, the hill was narrow, and the waves of attacks were repelled. Amidst the cries of pain, large amounts of flesh and blood rolled down the hill. Blood flowed down like a river.
Pei Zi Yun turned a blind eye to all of this as he sank into the void.
Just like before, everything around him disappeared. All that was left was darkness as his Primordial Spirit descended.
In the blink of an eye, he saw a patch of white light, and a dimension appeared. This dimension seemed to be bigger than before, and there were golden nails on the door. It looked extremely majestic, and there weren't many changes to the dimension. There were thirty odd statues, all of them had ferocious looks on their faces, as though they were struggling to break free. However, they were all imprisoned, and could not move. Demonic Qi emanated from their bodies, turning into Spiritual Qi.
Without thinking, he shouted, "System!"
A Plum Blossom appeared in front of his eyes, as it grew bigger and became a translucent information interface. It floated in front of his eyes, and numbers appeared before his eyes.
"Earth Immortal: Seventh Level (53.1%)"
Pei Zi Yun glanced at it and thought, "53%. I've already passed the Tribulations. As long as I have enough Spiritual Qi, I should be able to level up. Thirty odd statues should be enough. However, there's a process of extracting Spiritual Qi. If I have ten days, no, five days, I should be able to level up."
Just as he was thinking about this, his heart skipped a beat, and he regained his senses. He realized that he was no longer in front of them, and that there was no more fuel. Although the soldiers were fighting with all their might, they still couldn't hold on. A loud "boom" sound could be heard. The fences were made at the last minute, and were pushed by several Demonic Bears.
As the fences fell, the remaining demonic beasts broke through the defense line. The soldiers in front of them were torn to shreds. Behind them, the imperial bodyguards shouted and rushed in like a tidal wave.
