The full moon was like a silver plate, scattering silver light throughout the entire sky. Under the moonlight, there were only groups of fully armored soldiers patrolling the massive stone city. The sound of armor rubbing against each other and the sound of footsteps made the quiet night seem even more solemn.
A night breeze blew past, and the long Blood God Flag on Gao Zhengyang's body fluttered silently in the night wind. The vibrant Blood God Flag was like a ball of flying flames, and it was extremely eye-catching under the moonlight.
One of the Three-Eyed Crow Tribe sentries on the stone city wall quickly discovered this, and he hurriedly blew his copper whistle. The sharp sound of the whistle broke the silence of the stone city.
A large group of soldiers quickly rushed up the city wall, and all of them stared with wide eyes at the crimson figure fluttering in the wind outside the city. Even though the moonlight was bright, most of the demonic soldiers could only just barely make out a blurry figure.
Only the Three-Eyed Crow Tribe, which had sharp eyesight, could see that this person was wearing a full set of golden armor and a long crimson cloak that resembled fire.
"Gao Zhengyang!" a chiliarch cried out involuntarily.
All of the demons above the level of centurion had seen Gao Zhengyang's portrait. His golden armor and crimson cloak had left a deep impression on them. Even though they couldn't see him clearly, Gao Zhengyang was the only enemy who dared to come to the stone city alone.
Furthermore, the higher-ups had already passed down a military order for the entire stone city to enter the highest state of alert, and for the enemy to attack the city. They had also indicated that the attacker was most likely Gao Zhengyang.
All of the other demonic soldiers were also shocked upon hearing Gao Zhengyang's name. During the past three years, all of the demonic soldiers had experienced a cruel and bloody battle. They had also witnessed the ferocity and tenacity of the barbarians. All of those idiots who thought that the humans and barbarians were weak and useless had already died in the bloody battle!
As such, these soldiers were well aware of the weight of the number one human in the human world. The other party might be courting death if he dared to come to the stone city, but to them, Gao Zhengyang was definitely the most terrifying enemy.
The chiliarch forced himself to remain calm as he roared to the soldiers, "What are you afraid of? This is the stone city with seventy-two layers of restrictions. Even a sage rank powerful being can't do anything to him. If he dares to come in, one of us can stab him and kill him! "
Many of the soldiers became spirited upon hearing this. That's right, the Battle Formation Restrictions of the Central Army's Stone City were extremely powerful. Even if Gao Zhengyang was crazy, he wouldn't dare to come in.
The thousand-man commander continued, "All flying is prohibited here, so he can only crawl in even if he wants to. Go prepare the crossbows and let him have a taste of our power. "
The demons also had their own skilled craftsmen, and there were also many high-end war machines. On the walls of the stone city, there were dozens of powerful ballistae.
There were many runes engraved on the cannons, and they were activated by the power of formations. Giant crossbow bolts could be shot hundreds of miles away, and their power was extremely terrifying. Even a Type 9 powerhouse would be in danger if shot by a ballista. Of course, no matter how powerful this kind of ballista was, it was unlikely to hit a Stage Nine.
A thousand-man commander using a ballista was more of a show of force.
Many of the soldiers also became excited. Shooting Gao Zhengyang with the ballista was enough to go back and show off to the other demons.
The ballista was adjusted very quickly. The thousand-man commander waved his hand forcefully. "Fire!"
Thousands of fine runes on the giant ballista circulated with divine light. Under the activation of powerful vital qi, a ten-foot-long crossbow bolt that was like a house beam turned into a golden light and tore through the air.
The speed of the crossbow bolt was like lightning, crossing the distance of more than a thousand feet in an instant and arriving in front of Gao Zhengyang.
Although Gao Zhengyang was standing outside the Stone City, he was still within the range of the heavy battle formation. The circulation of vital qi was greatly restricted. Especially the vital qi that was released, it was already very difficult to gather and take shape.
One had to say, the demons really put in a lot of effort to turn the radius of tens of thousands of miles into a giant military formation.
But the giant crossbow bolt was not restricted, and the added power on it was equivalent to a full-power attack of a Rank 8 martial artist. The glittering runes on the crossbow bolt also gave the crossbow bolt special powers such as armor penetration, poison, and so on.
Gao Zhengyang estimated that just this kind of crossbow bolt was worth at least a few thousand taels of silver. Although the demons were relatively poor overall, the upper-level demons were still very wealthy.
After a simple assessment of the strength of the demons, just as the thick triangular arrowhead was about to hit his chest, Gao Zhengyang unhurriedly activated the Dragon Emperor Halberd. The crescent blade of the halberd struck the tail of the crossbow bolt, and the huge crossbow bolt turned in a circle and once again shot towards the stone city.
Gao Zhengyang took advantage of the momentum and leaped lightly, standing on the thick crossbow bolt. The layers of restrictions on the stone city were very powerful, and even with his strength, it was difficult for him to fly. Of course, with the terrifying power of the Dragon Emperor Indestructible Holy Body, he could also walk in the air with his physical body.
But since there was a way to save effort, why bother!
"You go back first …" Gao Zhengyang used his divine sense to tell Shi Han, who was invisible next to him.
She would not be able to help in the following battles, so there was no point in staying here. If the demons discovered her traces, it would be a little troublesome to escape.
Shi Han said indifferently, "I'll watch here." She paused and said, "To witness your supreme martial arts."
"Haha …"
Gao Zhengyang did not force her. He laughed loudly and said, "That's fine, watching my Single Halberd Destroys the Army is also a pleasant thing!"
As the two communicated with their divine senses, the crossbow bolt had already taken Gao Zhengyang back to the stone city.
The thousand-man captain and the other demon soldiers who had ordered the arrows to fire finally reacted at this time, screaming in fright. Even the thousand-man captain, who was the most powerful, did not have the courage to face the returning crossbow bolt. Not to mention that there was still a Gao Zhengyang standing on it.
Gao Zhengyang exerted a little force with his feet and adjusted the direction of the crossbow bolt. The thousand-man captain had just turned to escape, but the huge crossbow bolt pierced through his back.
After the thick crossbow bolt blasted the thousand-man captain's body into pieces, its momentum did not diminish, and it continued to fly forward, killing more than ten demon soldiers in a row before crashing into the city wall and shattering.
Everywhere the crossbow bolt passed, it left behind spurting blood and torn flesh.
This bloody and tragic scene also caused the other demon soldiers to tremble in fear, and they instinctively scattered in all directions to avoid it.
Gao Zhengyang stood in the middle of the city wall, and there was a large empty space around him. Surprisingly, not a single demon soldier attacked him.
"So the elites of the demon race are only so-so …"
Gao Zhengyang murmured to himself. He did not want to waste time with the low-grade demon soldiers, so he exerted force with his feet and leaped high into the air toward the center of the stone city.
After receiving the alert, the prepared groups of demon soldiers began to assemble. The main passageways of the stone city were densely packed with demon soldiers.
As soon as they saw Gao Zhengyang leaping high into the air, a demon general gave the order to fire arrows.
Gao Zhengyang's jump was very high, and his body drew a very beautiful arc in the air. His back was also facing the full moon.
Under the moonlight, Gao Zhengyang's golden armor and elegant Blood God Banner exuded a strange devilish charm. The Dragon Emperor Halberd in his hand shone with peerless ferocity.
At this moment, Gao Zhengyang seemed to have replaced the full moon in the sky, becoming the most dazzling existence in the sky. This scene was also deeply imprinted in the hearts of all the demons, becoming an eternal shadow that they could not erase.
The numerous demon archers were also intimidated by Gao Zhengyang's might. Only under the urging of the commander's curses did they suddenly come to their senses, drawing their bows and releasing arrows together.
Thousands of arrows rained down on Gao Zhengyang from all directions.
Gao Zhengyang lightly brandished the Dragon Emperor Halberd, deflecting two arrows that were aimed at his face. As for the other arrows, they were really no different from raindrops to him.
He jumped to a height of over a thousand feet, and the enormous stone city could be seen in full view. Gao Zhengyang paused for a moment before activating the Dragon Emperor Halberd and suddenly smashing it down.
The various formations and restrictions of the stone city were indeed powerful, and even sage level experts found it difficult to release their vital energy. However, even the most powerful restrictions could not suppress the power of the fleshly body.
This time, Gao Zhengyang decided to let the world see what a sage of the fleshly body was!
Without Gao Zhengyang's deliberate control, the Dragon Emperor Halberd also regained its 108,000 jin weight. When this weight fell from a height of a thousand feet, the impact it brought was abnormally terrifying.
Gao Zhengyang chose the center of a densely packed heavy armor formation. The demon soldiers here also discovered that something was wrong, and the soldiers in the center started to spread out.
No matter how valiant the demon soldiers were, when they heard the whistling sound of Gao Zhengyang tearing through the sky, they would be frightened to the point that their legs turned to jelly. Even a Heaven Rank expert did not have the confidence to block this attack.
But the accompanying mages at the side all released all kinds of spells. From the lowest rank Ice Arrow Technique to the rank 7 Deity Slash, wave after wave of spells landed on Gao Zhengyang's body.
Gao Zhengyang did not care about any spells, and hastily cast spells did not affect him at all. There was even no need to block or dodge.
Amidst the whistling sound, Gao Zhengyang suddenly exploded into the center of the heavy armor formation like a high-speed cannonball.
The Dragon Emperor Halberd in his hand also slashed forward.
"Boom …"
The terrifying impact of the one hundred eight thousand jin Dragon Emperor Halberd smashed the thick stone slabs on the ground into fine powder. The impact passed through the layers of the ground, smashing and overturning everything it came into contact with.
The hundreds of heavy armor infantry closest to Gao Zhengyang were torn apart on the spot by the impact, their bodies exploding into lumps of rotten meat.
The heavy armor warriors at the periphery were also sent flying in all directions by the impact. Although their bodies were still intact, most of them could not withstand the powerful impact. If their organs were not shattered, their necks were fractured. Only a small number of soldiers with high enough martial arts and luck were able to barely keep their lives.
After Gao Zhengyang's high jump attack, only a few dozen soldiers managed to escape from the heavy armor formation formed by thousands of elite soldiers. The other soldiers were all killed.
Before the flying sand and dust had even dissipated, Gao Zhengyang had already jumped out of the huge pit that was over thirty meters deep.
This time, Gao Zhengyang did not jump very high. This kind of tactic was enough to be used once. Using it a second time would be somewhat insulting to the intelligence of the demon race.
Gao Zhengyang walked slowly along the main road paved with huge stones. Over a hundred meters in front of him, groups of demon soldiers were currently assembling.
The complete annihilation of thousands of heavy armor warriors was a considerable blow to the morale of the demon race. However, there were more than a million demon elite soldiers in the stone city. Thousands of casualties were basically insignificant to them.
The demon warriors very quickly reorganized themselves. The other soldiers also surrounded Gao Zhengyang from all directions.
The Profound Earth Spirit, who was overseeing the central tent, could clearly see the situation on the battlefield through giant water mirrors from all angles. From his point of view, countless densely packed soldiers were converging towards Gao Zhengyang like a torrent.
Under normal circumstances, no matter how strong the other party was, he would inevitably be worn down to death by an army of a million soldiers.
But looking at Gao Zhengyang's appearance, the Profound Earth Spirit did not hold any hope for this. However, from the strength that Gao Zhengyang had displayed so far, he had not yet surpassed the limits of the peak Indestructible Vajra Body.
He looked at the communication mirror and hesitated for a moment, but did not immediately contact Purple Heart Lotus. This imperial prince had a sinister mind. It was best not to ask for her help unless necessary.
The Profound Earth Spirit also did not believe that Gao Zhengyang would really be able to kill his way to him under the heavy encirclement.
As the commander of the central army, the seal he held was the core of the battle formation. As long as the seal did not leave his body, he could borrow the power of the battle formation.
Not only would his Yuan Qi be limitless, he could also use the various transformations of the battle formation, use all kinds of high-level spells, create all kinds of domains, and even forcibly increase his own strength.
It could be said that with the seal in his hand, the Profound Earth Spirit dared to say that he could deal with any Sage in the stone city.
Killing Gao Zhengyang was a great merit! There was no need to share it with others! It was precisely because of this confidence that the Profound Earth Spirit did not want to contact Purple Heart Lotus.
However, if he failed to kill Gao Zhengyang, he would have to bear a huge risk.
Just in case, the Profound Earth Spirit naturally had to inform Purple Heart Lotus in advance. If there really was a problem, he could find help.
In the water mirror, Gao Zhengyang suddenly raised his head to take a look. His deep eyes seemed to see through the water mirror and landed directly on the Profound Earth Spirit.
The Profound Earth Spirit was slightly shocked. He could actually sense the presence of the water mirror even though he was surrounded by the army. This Gao Zhengyang's senses were really sharp. However, what could he do even if he sensed it!
With his Yuan Qi restricted, there was nothing Gao Zhengyang could do to prevent himself from being spied on.
Gao Zhengyang retracted his gaze. It was not that he wanted to keep spying on him, but there was no need to. Right now, it was better to leave some confidence for the Profound Earth Spirit, lest he scared him away.
If he could not kill the Profound Earth Spirit in the central tent, this battle would not be perfect!
Up until now, Gao Zhengyang was very satisfied with everything that had happened. The demons were also very cooperative, completely following the script that he had designed.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhengyang smiled. He revealed his fine and neat white teeth, shining brightly under the moonlight.
The demons on the other side felt a chill in their hearts. They all felt that Gao Zhengyang's smile was too cruel and bloodthirsty. It was like a ferocious beast that had seen its prey!
"Mages, release your spells. Use ice and fire as the main spells. Attack alternately …"
A Heaven Rank Major commanded, "Mages, add totems to the soldiers. At the same time, prepare poison and soul type single target witchcraft."
A normal army of ten thousand naturally could not afford to support a group of mages and mages. But this army of ten thousand was the personal guard of the Profound Earth Spirit. They were well-armed, fierce in battle, and extremely skilled in commanding.
It was actually very difficult to make use of the advantage of numbers when surrounded by ten thousand people. Therefore, according to the Major's command, the battle was to be fought in units of a hundred people. They would take turns to attack. They must not give the opponent any chance to breathe.
Gao Zhengyang stood very far away, but he could hear all the Major's orders very clearly. He also nodded to himself. The demons were not all brainless. At least the high level demons were not low in intelligence.
"Fire!"
It was unknown who shouted the order, but groups of archers took the lead and released their arrows. Along with the rain of arrows, there were also layers of magical light.
Colorful spells shone with strong light, illuminating the surroundings as if it was daytime. The sharp arrows also shone with a terrifying sharpness in the seven-colored flowing light.
Gao Zhengyang did not wait for the rain of arrows to fall. He exerted force on his feet and suddenly increased his speed. He turned into a phantom and instantly rushed to the front of the battle formation.
The front of the battle formation had already been set up with layers of barriers. Ice Wall, Earth Wall, Wind Blade Wall and so on. Gao Zhengyang's high-speed charge triggered all the spells that he had set up beforehand.
The Ice Wall was at least three feet thick and cold. The Earth Wall behind was even thicker, at least eight feet thick. The Wind Blade turned into many sharp blades, forming a thick blade wall. Behind them were the Fire Wall and the Six Thunder Spell.
With the support of the battle formation, the spells' power could be increased by a level. Although none of the spells exceeded the Sixth Stage, they were close to the Heaven Stage.
All of the high-grade demons widened their eyes, wanting to see how Gao Zhengyang was going to deal with the spells. Even if his physical body was at the Ninth Stage, it would be difficult for him to deal with the spells!
Gao Zhengyang's response was very simple. He raised the Dragon Emperor Halberd, breaking the ice and shattering the earth, dispersing the wind and extinguishing the fire. Under the bright halberd blade, the six explosive and tyrannical Thunder Arts released azure flowing lights that filled the sky.
The spells that the sorcerers had painstakingly set up were like bubbles in front of Gao Zhengyang, shattering with a light poke!
All of the high-grade demons' hearts sank upon seeing this. Gao Zhengyang's terror was far beyond their imagination. However, the Earth Mystic Spirit in the central tent was already prepared and wasn't very surprised.
The Dragon Emperor Halberd in Gao Zhengyang's hands had the power to break spells. He was relying on this Divine Soldier to strut around without fear.
"If I can kill Gao Zhengyang and get the Dragon Emperor Halberd, that would be awesome!"
The Earth Mystic Spirit imagined the awe-inspiring might of holding the Dragon Emperor Halberd, but immediately put down the fantasy. Such a peerless Divine Soldier, how could it be his turn to grasp it!
On the water mirror, Gao Zhengyang had already killed his way into the battle formation formed by the Heavy Armor Warriors.
This team of Heavy Armor Warriors were all Devil Elephants. Each of them was nine feet tall and six feet thick. Wearing heavy armor, they were simply like moving hills.
Devil Elephants were born with divine strength and bloodthirsty and warlike. It was just that their brains were too good and their fertility was low, resulting in their race being very few. That was why they were classified as mid-grade demons.
Any adult Devil Elephant had the power of the Sixth Stage. However, because of their bad brains, very few Devil Elephants could break through to the Heaven Stage.
This team of Devil Elephants blocking in front of Gao Zhengyang were all Sixth Stage Warriors. After seeing blood, they would go crazy and become fearless. Their battle power could even increase several times.
It was precisely because of the Devil Elephant Warriors' innate bravery and the addition of Bloodlust and other beneficial witchcraft that they were even more fearless.
Even if the one charging over was Gao Zhengyang, the row of Devil Elephant Warriors standing at the very front did not hesitate to attack at the same time.
Several heavy iron shields, surrounding Gao Zhengyang from three sides, fiercely rammed over. Under the ferocious push, the shield's howl was low and thick.
Gao Zhengyang's Dragon Emperor Halberd spun, the halberd blade drawing an arc before suddenly stabbing forward. His entire person followed the piercing bright blade light, moving forward several dozen feet.
When he stopped, he was already at the back of the battle formation formed by the Heavy Armor Warriors.
The shining straight blade light in the air slowly dissipated. The Devil Elephant Warriors that were slashed by the blade light exploded at the same time, drawing a bloody and tragic line with their flesh and blood.
