"Dong, dong, dong!"
Following a loud battle cry, the troops advanced step by step.
Forty thousand troops, seven thousand troops. Every step they took was like the beating of a drum, causing dust to fly up.
As soon as they got closer, the troops of the Imperial Army were shocked. They couldn't see clearly from afar, but when they were about two hundred steps away, they could see King Lu's troops in formation. After the blood sacrifice, the demon soldiers were at their peak. Many of them had transformed into their demon forms. Each of them had the appearance of a wolf, tiger, or leopard. Their fangs were sharp, and they held long blades in their hands.
"Demons, they're really demons!" At this point, the vanguard troops of the Imperial Army were in an uproar. However, it had only been twelve years since the Imperial Army had won the war. Their morale was still high, and their generals were still present. At this point, an officer shouted out, "Whoever dares to move shall be killed without mercy. This is just a smokescreen to deceive us. Everyone, don't be afraid.
Kill them all. "
The vanguard troops roared out in anger as King Lu's troops pressed forward as well. Both sides were so close that they could clearly see each other's faces. Half of King Lu's troops were in their demon forms.
"Kill!"
The vanguard troops shouted out the order. At this point, a demon general dressed in black armor stepped out. This person had a strong aura around him. Even though he was in his demon form, he was still resolute. He led a hundred cavalrymen and charged forward.
A hundred cavalrymen, in a battle between two armies, was an insignificant number. However, there was a sound of "Break!" as a long spear swept across the battlefield. Several soldiers screamed out in agony as blood rained down from the sky.
Following which, the soldiers and their horses charged forward like the wind. At this point, a group of people surrounded them. Although they didn't have horses, their spears pierced through the air. Another spear pierced through the necks of the horses. Their coordination was well-practiced.
"Kill!" With a single point of the spear, the spear shot out in all directions. Every time the spear shot out, blood would splatter everywhere. In the blink of an eye, the spear had reached the vanguard troops.
"So it's Xie Lin. You went missing in the army because you followed the rebel King?" The vanguard troops recognized him and shouted out, "If your brother knew about this, he would die of anger."
"My brother, who was so loyal and accomplished in battle, is dead. He was beheaded by military law." The Demon General swung his whip, and another two men fell to the ground, "If I don't join the rebellion, am I supposed to be a Corporal for the rest of my life? Furthermore, I'm a cripple."
"I'm the happiest about the Emperor transforming into a demon. The tendons in my hand have finally recovered." The Demon General snorted coldly, "I'm going to kill, kill, kill. I'm going to kill all of you."
"Clang, clang, clang." The spear's shadow stabbed out continuously, already connected with fire. Just after receiving two attacks, the vanguard's expression changed. This power was really too great, and each attack contained a strange power.
"Everforest Mantra." On the third strike, Vanguard spat out a mouthful of blood. It seemed like a lot, but it happened in an instant. On the fourth strike, Vanguard's face turned pale. "No …"
"Die!" The Demon General didn't say anything else and stabbed out. Blood splattered everywhere as the vanguard fell to the ground.
"Kill the enemy's vanguard!"
"Kill the enemy's vanguard!"
The Demon General led the Demon Soldiers and immediately broke through, transforming into a sharp sword, directly breaking into the slaughter. Each and every one of the Demon Soldiers were ferocious, using long blades, sharp fangs, and sharp claws. As they charged forward, the vanguard battalion immediately suffered heavy losses.
"Block it, block it!" One of the Demon Generals shouted out, his voice filled with fear. The fear from the previous defeat resurfaced in his mind. King Lu was just as ferocious back then.
"Xie Lin, you deserve to die. I should have killed you long ago." This Demon General's personal guard rushed forward, wanting to block this unstoppable attack. His long blade gleamed with a cold light as he stepped off the horse's back and leaped into the air, slashing down towards the Demon General.
"Kill!" Demon General Xie Lin was even more ferocious. He raised his spear to block the attack, and sparks flew everywhere. Xie Lin smiled, revealing his sharp teeth. He didn't look like a human at all. The Demon General was taken aback, and yet another slash came from a tricky angle.
Xie Lin's figure moved, and suddenly disappeared.
"... What? An afterimage?" Just as the Demon General was about to succeed, his vision blurred, and he disappeared without a trace. He couldn't help but be startled. Just as he turned around, a spear had already landed on his waist.
"Boom!"
The sound of metal shattering rang out, as the Demon General's armor caved in. Pieces of metal, along with pieces of flesh and blood, flew into the air. Amidst the screams of agony, Demon General Xie Lin dodged the blade that the Demon General threw at him before he died, and pierced his spear into the Demon General's body.
"Pu!" The Demon General spat out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. His entire body was sent flying, and when he landed on the ground, he was trampled into meat paste by the horse's hooves.
"Haha, how refreshing."
"Brother, I'm not like you. Which temple doesn't have ghosts who died wrongly? If that's the case, I shall kill everyone in the temple. " After killing so many of his old comrades, Demon General Xie Lin felt extremely satisfied. A faint ripple spread out, as though his martial arts had improved tremendously. He had entered a state of madness, and wherever he went, no one could survive. His body gradually turned into a beast, and fresh blood, hatred, and resentful spirits were constantly being sacrificed, becoming a delicacy that nourished him. In an instant, the vanguard formation was thrown into chaos.
"Mighty, invincible."
Following the shouts of the army, the Imperial Army was split apart, and Demon General Xie Lin charged towards Kan Cong Yun. He howled loudly, and his horns and scales could be seen clearly.
"The enemy is coming, don't panic." A general shouted out. Although he was startled, he didn't panic. At this point, someone mumbled, "Demon, is it really a demon?"
The general felt that something was amiss. He turned around and saw Kan Cong Yun's legs turning to jelly. His face was filled with fear, and his entire body was trembling. He then cried out to his personal guards, "Retreat, retreat!"
His personal guards then escorted Kan Cong Yun as he fled. The general was on the verge of vomiting blood, "Imperial Envoy, we haven't lost yet. Stop."
However, Kan Cong Yun ignored him, and continued to retreat.
When the general in charge of the army started to flee, he saw a scene of chaos, "Not good, the Imperial Envoy has escaped."
"The Imperial Envoy has escaped."
"Your Majesty?" Across from them, eunuch Liao looked at the flabbergasted King Lu and spoke softly, "Kan Cong Yun has escaped. The Imperial Army has been defeated."
"I've only heard of such a thing in the history books and in dramas. This is the first time I've seen it in person." King Lu snapped out of his daze and shouted, "Attack!"
The drums of war rang out as the entire army pounced forward to attack.
"It's a pity that I've fallen for Li Cheng's ploy. My body is no longer in human form. If not, I would have been able to keep them as captives. Although I can keep them as captives, it's hard for them to submit to me. The only way is to become part of the demon race, or to become nutrients for the demons." King Lu spoke out plainly.
"Your Majesty, it looks like that's the only way." Eunuch Liao replied. King Lu raised his sword, his fingernails were sharp and long, and there were even some scales on them. Looking at the fleeing army, King Lu's eyes were filled with greed, "Enjoy your feast, my children."
King Lu's voice rang out in the ears of the demons. Following this, the soldiers of King Lu charged forward. One of the soldiers was too slow, and was grabbed by another demon soldier. Blood and organs splattered everywhere. The demon soldier's teeth were sharp as he bit down on the soldier's thigh, making a loud crunching sound.
"Run, run quickly." Kan Cong Yun was riding his horse as he shouted out to his personal guards.
"Your Excellency, the demons have caught up to us." The personal guard shouted out in fear. Behind him, a troop of demon soldiers chased after him. Their mouths were full of blood, and the stench of blood could be smelled.
Kan Cong Yun's face was contorted in anger, as the veins on his neck bulged out. He then shouted out to his personal guard, "Block them, block them. If not, I will kill all of you and your entire family."
The personal guard had no choice but to turn around and try to stop the demon soldiers. As the two armies crossed paths, the ten personal guards were torn apart.
"Ah!" Kan Cong Yun screamed out in fear. His pants were now stained with the stench of blood, and he was terrified to the point of peeing in his pants. He whipped his horse viciously. At this point, he tripped over something and fell off his horse. He had already fallen quite heavily when he felt the stench of blood on his back. When he turned around, he was frightened out of his wits.
"No, I surrender. I surrender."
"I am the Imperial Envoy, and am different from the others."
It was just that the demon soldiers were formed from the blood sacrifice, and were still conscious even though they were bound. However, King Lu didn't hold back at all. He grabbed onto Kancong Yun and tore him apart. The Imperial Envoy was torn into two halves.
"Ah!" All that was left was the last scream of the Imperial Envoy. The Daoist official who was running away turned around to look at the Imperial Envoy. He saw that the demon soldiers around him had died as well, as blood flowed out of all their orifices. He laughed coldly, "What a worthy death."
Ping Shou County, Pei Mansion
Pei Zi Yun had been home for a few days now. Both husband and wife were living in harmony. Today, Pei Zi Yun was reading a book, fanning the stove and brewing tea. All of a sudden, someone laughed, "The Imperial Court has been defeated, and yet you're so carefree."
It was Yu Yun Jun.
"Master, please come in." Pei Zi Yun laughed as he saw Yu Yun Jun holding a letter in her hands. He took it and read it several times before throwing it onto the table, "You've come at the right time. I've obtained some Six Plum Spring Tea. It's said to be a tribute. Let's have a taste."
Yu Yun Jun watched as Pei Zi Yun poured some of the tea into her cup. He then picked up the pot and poured some water into the cup. He then sat down and smiled, "This is snow water. It's not bad. Try it."
Yu Yun Jun tasted the tea and felt the aroma in her mouth. She then asked, "The Imperial Court has been defeated, and was defeated by the demon soldiers. Out of the 40,000 strong army, half of them died in battle. The demon soldiers numbered less than 7,000. What do you think of this?"
Pei Zi Yun laughed helplessly, "I've expected this. Master, we're free now. All we need to do is to watch out for them."
When Yu Yun Jun heard this, she hesitated before asking, "Is this not important? King Lu is so aggressive, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos. Don't let the demons take over the world. "
"Master, it's not a problem. King Lu was able to succeed because he was a human. Now that he's a demon, he's a bandit. He can only destroy and not build. Besides, even if he's a bandit, he won't live for long."
"King Lu disregarded everything and sacrificed himself. The demon soldiers will become stronger and stronger. However, the stronger the demon soldiers, the more sins they have. Once they've surpassed his destiny, the heavens will punish them and they won't be able to live for long."
"That's true." Yu Yun Jun listened, her face was solemn, "Oh yes, speaking of this, there's been a lot of breakthroughs in our sect recently. Does this have something to do with the demons?"
"Oh, there's such a thing?" Pei Zi Yun paused and was somewhat surprised. He then retracted his smile and pinched his fingers together. After some time, he turned around, "Master, the heavens are confusing. Perhaps it's because of the demons' rampage that the heavens have loosened the restrictions on Daoists. If I'm not wrong, our Daoists' spring has arrived."
"My cultivation level is a little high. If you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have noticed it." Pei Zi Yun laughed bitterly. Even though he had become an Earth Immortal, he still wasn't strong enough.
"If that's the case, that's a good thing. But what about the Imperial Court?" Yu Yun Jun asked. Pei Zi Yun laughed, "Don't worry. I'm already at the sixth level of the Earth Immortal Stage. I've been reincarnated three times and I'm not confused. Besides, with the demons wreaking havoc, it won't be easy for the Imperial Court to deal with Free Cloud Sect."
"I understand now." Yu Yun Jun revealed a look of joy. Just as she was speaking, Ye Su 'er shouted from afar, "Husband, I've broken through!"
Pei Zi Yun and Yu Yun Jun turned to look at her. Ye Su 'er was speaking when she saw Yu Yun Jun looking at her. She blushed. Yu Yun Jun laughed, "Su' er, I've finished my discussion with the Sect Leader. You haven't seen each other for a long time, and should be affectionate towards each other. But why are you so impatient? Are you missing me?"
This was teasing, and Ye Su 'er was embarrassed, "Senior!"
"Haha!" Seeing Ye Su 'er blushing, Yu Yun Jun laughed and walked out. Ye Su' er bit her lips, feeling shy. Pei Zi Yun stood up and hugged her, "What's the matter?"
"Eh, husband, my cultivation has improved again. I'm now at the third level of the Yin Master level, and I feel that I've improved very quickly."
"A strong gust of wind tests out the strong grass, a strong ruler tests out the sincerity of his subjects." Pei Zi Yun seemed to have understood something as he spoke.
