It was midsummer, and all kinds of life in the forest were abnormally active. The branches and leaves of the huge trees were lush. The tree trunks were wrapped in layers of dark green vines. There were all kinds of flowers and plants on the ground.
The hot and humid temperature gave birth to countless flying insects. They flew wantonly in the forest. Birds chirped in the forest from time to time. The forest was full of vitality.
He Feiyu leaned on a big tree trunk and looked around. Her small face was serious and she seemed extremely vigilant. Her dark green tight clothes and red hair were also dyed light green. She completely blended into the forest.
Her breath was also abnormally deep and slow, and there was only the fresh smell of plants on her body. Her heartbeat, blood, and body temperature were also extremely well controlled.
Unless it was a special kind of Tier 9 powerhouse, very few people could sense He Feiyu's existence from afar.
Ever since the Demon Race invaded the human world, the Heavenly Lion Mountain Range had become one of the most important battlefields between the Barbarians and the Demon Race. Limited by the complicated terrain, the two sides had never carried out a large-scale battle. However, they maintained a high-intensity, small-scale battle.
In two years, at least millions of elite warriors of the Lion Race had died. For example, the Wolf people, Dog people, Rabbit people, Goat people, and other subordinate Barbarians had died in the tens of millions. Among them, the White Ape Race and the Crane Race, the two high-ranking Barbarians who had moved here later, had inevitably joined the battle. Two years had also resulted in heavy casualties.
The Demon Race had left more than a billion corpses in the Heavenly Lion Mountain Range. Of course, the true elite Demon Race warriors did not exceed 20 million. Most of them were the lowest level Demon Race cannon fodder.
These Demon Race cannon fodder were not even as good as ordinary adults, and had almost no combat power. The only thing they had was endless numbers. The Demon Race was also extremely poor. The low-level Demon Race did not have any armor or even weapons. Generally speaking, it was holding a sharpened wooden stick.
The low-level Demon Race's intelligence was also very low, and they did not have the ability to organize. They were also unable to form a battle formation. When tens of thousands of low-level Demon Race moved out, they were like a plate of loose sand. They did not have any logistical supplies, and were like locusts eating wherever they went.
An ordinary Lion Tribe warrior could easily kill a hundred low-grade Devilish Tribe warriors. A hundred-man platoon of lion warriors was enough to send tens of thousands of low-grade devilish beings fleeing in all directions.
Thus, the ratio of casualties on both sides had always been very high. However, it was said that there were trillions of low-level demons. This was an extremely terrifying number. Even if they had no combat power, as long as they all entered the human world, they would be able to occupy the human world just by relying on the advantage of reproduction.
The Lion Tribe also understood this point. Although they still had a slight advantage. However, their precious combat power had been depleted by the low-level devils. If this dragged on, the Lion Camel Mountain might not even have the ability to resist when the elite demon army arrived.
However, he had no choice but to clean up the low-tier Devils as well. Moreover, in order to maintain the depth of the battlefield, they had to occupy as many areas as possible.
The Barbarian Race and the Demon Race launched an all-out war in the tens of millions of square miles of Heavenly Lion Mountain Range. The two forces were entangled with each other, fighting non-stop in every mountain peak and every forest.
The two years of bloody battles had also allowed the barbarian warriors to grow rapidly. Including He Feiyu. Although she had participated in some competitions in the past, she had never participated in a real bloody battle. In the past two years, she had matured rapidly. Whether it was her martial arts or her personality, she had transformed from a girl into a powerful warrior.
The sound of birds chirping and insects flying made the forest seem even quieter. The sound of leaves and branches stepping on each other was exceptionally ear-piercing at this moment.
He Feiyu narrowed her beautiful green eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. The Crane Race's eyes were originally sharp, and after she advanced to the Heaven Stage, her eyes were exceptionally sharp.
Through the gaps in the dense leaves, He Feiyu saw a group of wretched green skin walking over quickly.
The Green Devil was the lowest level of cannon fodder. However, after two years of battle, the truly weak had long been eliminated. This group of Green Demons had more than a hundred people, all of them holding iron weapons in their hands, and some of them were even wearing armor.
Their weapons and armor were all tattered, and it was unknown where they had picked them up from. A group of short and ugly green skin people, but they were equipped with a mess of weapons and armor. It looked like a pity. However, in the Heavenly Lion Mountain Range, this meant that they were the elite warriors of the Green Demons.
Obviously, this was a hunting team of the Green Demons. They were in charge of going out to hunt and find enough food for the tribe. To them, any meat was good. Even the corpses of their own kind. To them, the barbarians were even more delicious.
He Feiyu hated this kind of Green Demon that ate human flesh. They had no lower limits, nor did they have any morals. They only had the simplest order.
She was not in a hurry to make a move. There might be Mages or even Mages in such a hunting team. Her gaze slowly turned as she sized up the various details of this group of Green Demons.
A Green Demon covered in wrinkles attracted He Feiyu's attention. Although this Green Demon was holding a short sword, there was a black short wooden staff behind his waist. There were also three or four black leather bags tied to his waist.
With He Feiyu's rich combat experience, this fellow was undoubtedly a Magus. The leather bag at his waist contained something poisonous.
She hesitated for a moment and took out a triangular feather arrow from the quiver under her ribs. Towards low-level demons, she usually used a simple cut of a tree branch as a wooden arrow. But the other party was a Magus, so it was worth using a triangular feather arrow.
He Feiyu had been through hundreds of battles. When he drew the bow and nocked the arrow, his heart was as calm as still water. There was no killing intent, and he was as calm as a target.
"Swish …"
Although the green short bow was small, it was an heirloom of the Crane Tribe, a grade eight weapon. Although He Feiyu did not use too much strength, the arrow shot out was faster than the speed of sound.
The Green Demons only heard the sharp sound of the arrow piercing through the air when the triangular arrow had already pierced into the Green Demon Magus's temple. The powerful force carried by the arrow blasted more than half of his head into pieces, causing a large amount of blood to explode.
"Enemy attack …"
A Green Demon Warrior hurriedly warned, but before he could finish, a crude wooden arrow nailed into his eye.
The Green Demon Warrior was a grade five and had extremely strong vitality. However, the wooden arrow that pierced into his head exploded, stirring his brain into a mess. Such a heavy injury was also unbearable for him, but he could not die immediately. He clutched his face as he lay on the ground, twitching and roaring crazily.
The miserable appearance of the Green Demon Warrior made the surrounding Green Demons nervous. Many of them immediately lay on the ground, while the clever ones rolled and crawled into the dense bushes at the side.
There were also some brave Green Demon Warriors who pulled out their weapons and pointed in the direction of the arrow, saying, "There's an archer over there, go kill him."
Another wooden arrow whistled over, and the Green Demon Warrior hurriedly waved his long blade to block, but he was a step too late, and the wooden arrow shot into his right eye.
"Ah …" The Green Demon Warrior also howled miserably.
The remaining Green Demon Warriors did not make a sound, and they all charged towards He Feiyu. It was obvious that the other party only had one archer, and as long as they closed the distance, they would be able to kill him.
Although the Green Demons were very weak, they had experienced two years of bloody battles, and those who could stand here could be considered elites. They had also established extremely simple battle awareness.
Seeing the Green Demons charge over, He Feiyu calmly pulled out a wooden arrow from under his feet and shot it. To a Heaven Stage archer, the Green Demons were just meat targets. Without a Magus, they could not do anything. As for bows and arrows, these Green Dwarfs did not have the ability to play with them!
"Pu pu pu pu …"
The coarse wooden arrow pierced through the Green Demons' flesh and blood, letting out a series of dull sounds. Before he had even covered half of the distance, there were only a dozen or so Green Demons left.
Realizing how terrifying the enemy archer was, the remaining Green Demons scattered and ran.
He Feiyu was not in a hurry, and he rhythmically shot the arrows, killing all of the dozen or so Green Demons.
From start to finish, less than fifty breaths of time had passed. More than a hundred elite Green Demon Warriors had been killed by He Feiyu. This kind of killing efficiency could be said to be astonishing.
However, He Feiyu had long since gotten used to this kind of battle, and had already lost interest in this kind of killing. Even if there were still some Green Demons that did not die on the spot screaming, it did not affect her emotions.
She had only shot over a hundred arrows consecutively, and even with her Heaven Stage strength, she still felt somewhat tired. Her fingers were sore, and her breathing became more rapid.
After all, the Green Demons were not real targets, but a group of Level Four and Level Five Warriors. If she wanted to use coarse wooden arrows to kill them, she would need to find an opening and grasp the opportunity.
If it was any other Heaven Stage archer, it would be very difficult for them to kill all the Green Demons as easily as He Feiyu.
He Feiyu was rubbing her fingers to circulate her qi and blood, but she suddenly felt a sense of danger, and felt a strong sense of malice. Instinctively, she dodged without thinking.
A jet-black iron arrow pierced through the afterimage left behind by He Feiyu, and directly pierced into the thick tree trunk behind her.
Cloud Tree had always been known for its sturdy and fine trunks, and was one of the best types of wood. The Cloud Tree that He Feiyu was leaning on was several times thicker than a person's waist, but after it was pierced by the arrow, it exploded, and the tree trunk immediately broke from the middle, falling down.
The huge umbrella-like tree crown fell, creating a loud sound.
He Feiyu was not in the mood to care about this, she took the opportunity when the tree trunk broke, and retreated behind the tree trunk. The thick tree trunk was enough to block the other party's vision.
Her experience in the bloody battle told her that standing on the ground was the safest. She could not fly around just because she had wings. If she flew, she would really become a target!
"To be able to dodge my arrow, your ability is not bad."
The demon's arrogant voice came from afar: "I'll give you a chance, come out and fight us fairly."
He Feiyu was not moved, the tempering of the bloody battle had already made her mature. On the battlefield, there was only victory, defeat, and life. Reputation and morals were all nonsense. She only needed to think of a way to get rid of the other party, and did not need to consider any methods.
If she stood out and fought fairly, the other party was either brainless, or had ulterior motives. However, just by looking at how the other party first sent out the Green Demon as bait, he knew that it was definitely a sinister thing.
This demon had a sharp voice and was good at archery. If he guessed correctly, he should be from the Snake Demon Clan. This kind of demon had snake-like scales, and their bodies were soft as if they were boneless, but they were extremely strong. Furthermore, they were born with sharp eyes.
The Snake Demon Clan was also one of the few demon clans that could use bows and arrows. In terms of status, they were definitely high level demon clans. In the entire Heavenly Lion Mountain Range, the Snake Demon Clan only had a few thousand people.
He Feiyu guessed that the other party was at least an expert of the seventh step. The only thing that was worth rejoicing was that the other party should only have one Heaven Stage Archer. Otherwise, if he had fired at the same time, she would have been in danger. However, the other party was obviously coming for her, so he must have been prepared.
After a simple analysis of the enemy's situation, He Feiyu did not want to fight the other party head on, so she circled around the tree trunk and retreated. Her footsteps were light, and wherever she passed, there was no sound. The route of retreat was also very ingenious, not giving the other party a chance to shoot.
There were too many huge trees in the forest, and all kinds of flowers and shrubs were abnormally dense. As long as she ran fast enough, it would be difficult for the other party to catch up to her.
After He Feiyu circled around and retreated dozens of feet, she suddenly felt a powerful divine sense sweep over like a cold wave. Although she restrained her aura in advance, she was unable to avoid the bone-chilling divine sense, and her body couldn't help but shiver.
"Heaven Stage Mage!"
He Feiyu was shocked. The other party had actually sent a Heaven Stage Mage to search for her. It was almost impossible for a Heaven Stage Mage to act alone, and there must be an expert guard beside him. This was really troublesome.
"You can't run away this time."
The Heaven Stage Mage's divine sense entered He Feiyu's sea of consciousness. That cold and vicious aura was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, causing He Feiyu's scalp to go numb.
If it was just a Heaven Stage Mage, He Feiyu still had the confidence to escape, and even had the chance to counterattack. But the other party also had a Heaven Stage Archer. This combination was not something she could deal with. Moreover, the other party definitely had other experts.
He Feiyu knew that her position had been locked on by the other party's mage, so she simply flew away at full speed. She was like a green phantom, dancing and leaping in the forest, elusive.
Although the Snake Demon archer had discovered He Feiyu's position, she was too fast, and she was constantly changing directions. He wasn't sure if he could hit her.
If he wanted to kill He Feiyu, he would have to use all his strength. Although the Snake Demon experts were powerful, they could only shoot five arrows if they used all their strength. Previously, they had already failed with one arrow, so they naturally couldn't shoot randomly.
The Heaven Stage Mage standing at the side was also an expert of the Snake Demon Clan, and his status was far higher than that of the archer. He had personally taken action this time because the Demon Clan had suffered disastrous losses in the past few months. Among them, many elites had been inexplicably killed. As the person in charge of this area, She Qingyu naturally couldn't tolerate such a situation.
This operation had been carefully planned, and it was to thoroughly eliminate that archer. Seeing that the other party was about to escape, She Qingyu couldn't just sit by and watch.
She held the Golden Snake Staff and activated her Heaven Stage Yang Spirit to fly into the sky. The Yang Spirit flashed, and in the next moment, it turned into a light arrow, piercing through layers of obstacles, traversing hundreds of meters and flying behind He Feiyu.
"Frost Arrow Rain."
She Qingyu's Yang Spirit held the staff in one hand and formed a seal with the other, activating a low-level spell.
Under the activation of her divine sense, the spell runes gathered vital energy and condensed into thousands of transparent ice arrows, which rained down on He Feiyu.
This spell was only at the fourth level, so it posed almost no threat to a Heaven Stage expert. The advantage was that the spell had a large area of effect, so no matter how nimble the opponent's movement techniques were, it was impossible to dodge all of them.
The moment the Frost Arrow Rain appeared, it emitted a vast expanse of white cold air, enveloping He Feiyu from all directions. Helpless, she could only brandish her short bow and shatter all the ice arrows around her. But once she started, she inevitably slowed down.
A bewitching smile appeared on She Qingyu's face, which was covered in fragmented scales. The seal in her hand changed again. "Frost Blade Ring."
The vast expanse of white cold air immediately contracted, turning into translucent ring-shaped ice blades that contracted with He Feiyu as the center.
He Feiyu's eyes narrowed. This sorcerer was so annoying. Although this spell wasn't very powerful, it was enough to stick to her. That kind of bone-chilling coldness affected her martial arts even more.
She stopped and shouted in a low voice, "Break!"
The dozens of ice blades surrounding her were broken by He Feiyu's shout, shattering and exploding at the same time.
He Feiyu didn't take the opportunity to escape. Instead, he turned around and shouted at She Qingyu, who was above him, "Break!"
The low and powerful voice was like an invisible sound arrow, piercing straight into She Qingyu's Yang Spirit.
The Yang Spirit of a Heaven Stage Mage was formless but had substance. Its foundation was the Mage's powerful divine sense condensed into a soul projection, which combined with vital energy to materialize. A Mage's Yang Spirit could fly in the sky and burrow into the ground, with endless transformations. But without the protection of a powerful artifact, the Yang Spirit was also very weak. It was also impossible for it to fight head-on against a martial artist of the same rank.
She Qingyu was afraid of He Feiyu's archery, so she would rather close the distance and use her spells as much as possible. She cast the Illusion Spell and the Water Mirror Spell on herself to defend against He Feiyu's archery.
She didn't expect He Feiyu to suddenly use the Lion's Roar. The two defensive spells were unable to block this invisible attack. Her Yang Spirit couldn't help but fluctuate, and the circulation of her divine sense also became sluggish.
The two defensive spells also lost their power because of the attack on her Yang Spirit.
He Feiyu took the opportunity to draw his bow and shoot. A spell breaking arrow engraved with spell breaking runes instantly pierced through She Qingyu's Yang Spirit.
She Qingyu also knew that the situation wasn't good and withdrew her Yang Spirit almost at the same time. But it was inevitable that the spell breaking arrow would injure her Yang Spirit.
The Yang Spirit of a Heaven Stage Mage was also very weak, and the spell breaking arrow was specially made to deal with it. Although She Qingyu's Yang Spirit was only grazed, the pain made her brain feel like it was about to split open. She couldn't help but let out a fierce roar.
"Count yourself lucky …"
He Feiyu also knew that he couldn't truly injure She Qingyu, but he had achieved his goal by forcing her to retreat. Without the Heaven Stage Mage entangling her, it would be almost impossible for the group of demons to catch her in the dense and complicated forest.
Just as He Feiyu was about to flee, she heard a voice of praise. "Very powerful!"
He Feiyu couldn't help but pause. She was too familiar with this voice. But she quickly gathered her thoughts and forced herself to calm down. There were many spells that could trigger illusions and deceive people's senses. She couldn't afford to be distracted too much on the battlefield.
With a thought, she activated the Heaven Punishment Saber hidden in her sea of consciousness. She turned around and swung the saber.
The Heaven Punishment Saber flickered with a cold and beautiful saber light in the air, as if it could cut through all obstacles.
This Saber Draw was also He Feiyu's ultimate technique to advance to the Heaven Stage. If she hadn't been trying to conserve her strength, she would have been able to kill that arrogant Snake Demon Mage with the Heaven Punishment Saber's divine might.
The Heaven Punishment Saber, which seemed to be able to cut through everything, was gently clamped between two fingers. No matter how He Feiyu activated the saber energy, the Heaven Punishment Saber was like a dead snake, not reacting at all.
"It's indeed much more powerful …"
Gao Zhengyang let go of his fingers and praised He Feiyu with a smile.
He Feiyu looked at the familiar black-clothed figure, the domineering and heroic thick black eyebrows, and relaxed her tense heart. The only one who could catch her saber with his fingers was definitely Gao Zhengyang.
"Junior Brother …"
"You should call me Senior Brother …"
"You entered the sect late, so you're Junior Brother …"
He Feiyu paused and couldn't help but say, "I miss you so much."
