Two hours later, the situation in Yinfeng City had basically stabilized and the city's defensive formation was almost fully repaired.
With a loud bang, a huge crack appeared on the top of the yellow pagoda-shaped formation. The Blood Lion Legion moved out in full force, their figures flickering in the air.
Tens of thousands of people rose into the air and rushed towards the Liu Family's stronghold outside of Yinfeng City. They were like a dark cloud that covered the sky, overshadowing the world.
Next was the battle with the Liu Family rebels who had invaded Yinfeng Province. The Blood Lion Legion didn't ride on the giant arks and the ten Sun Moon Warships were nowhere to be seen.
In the center of the Blood Lion Legion, there was a huge flying carriage slowly flying forward.
The carriage carried a three-storey wooden pagoda. The body of the carriage was evenly lined with three pairs of lifelike wooden wings, each several feet in size. The wings were faintly covered with demonic runes and were shrouded in purple light.
At the top of the pagoda, Huangfu Yupo was leaning against the railing. Liu Ming, Zhao Qianying, Huangfu Jiangu and the others were all there. The original commander of Yinfeng City's garrison, Huangfu Peng, was also there.
Huangfu Peng thought of something and cautiously said, "Elder Yupo, the terrain of the Black Wind Mountain where the Liu Family rebels are stationed is flat. However, the mountain is often filled with black mist. Be careful of the Liu Family's ambush in the mist."
"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. You don't need to worry," Huangfu Yupo said indifferently.
Huangfu Peng responded and took a few steps back.
On the left side of Huangfu Yupo, Zhao Qianying stood against the wind. The piercingly cold wind caressed her beautiful purple hair, causing it to dance in the wind like waves.
Although she was a princess and her cultivation had already reached the intermediate-stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, it was the first time she was participating in such a large-scale official battle, so she couldn't help but feel excited in her heart. Her delicate and warm cheeks were flushed red, and it made her look even more beautiful and moving.
The woman's stunning beauty was somewhat out of place in the harsh battle formation, but it also formed a stark contrast. Although many of the demon soldiers around her also coveted her beauty, they knew that their status was far too inferior, so most of them only dared to steal a glance from afar. They did not dare to look directly at her.
Whether it was intentional or not, Huangfu Yupo arranged for Liu Ming to stand next to Zhao Qianying.
Speaking of which, Zhao Qianying still had a complicated feeling about this man who inadvertently took away her yin. Although she was nominally going to be dual cultivation with him, this matter had not been fully publicized except for Demon Emperor, her own Supreme and a few high-level officials of the dynasty. Therefore, she deliberately kept a distance from Liu Ming.
With Liu Ming's meticulous mind, he had already discovered something strange from the changes in Zhao Qianying's expression and behavior.
However, he didn't have the slightest intention to avoid arousing suspicion. He stood next to Zhao Qianying casually and sniffed the fragrance that Zhao Qianying exuded, but his eyes were casually looking around.
Speaking of which, this wasn't the first time he had participated in such a large-scale battle. However, the Blood Lion Legion's formation wasn't messed up at all as they flew forward on such a large scale. The eight teams were arranged in a certain pattern, which made him secretly praise them.
Liu Ming didn't know much about military formations, but he could see a little bit. He knew that this kind of formation was indeed not afraid of being ambushed.
In addition, he also knew a little about the arrangements that Huangfu Yupo had made. Not long before they had set off, Huangfu Yupo had sent a team to scout out the enemy's situation.
On the right side of Huangfu Yupo, Huangfu Jiangu had his hands behind his back. His face was full of arrogance. Although he would secretly look at Liu Ming from the corner of his eyes, the depths of his eyes were full of disdain and jealousy.
… …
At the same time, in a certain tent in the Liu family's camp in Black Wind Mountain.
The grey-robed man who had led the troops to besiege Yinfeng City was currently holding a white communication array disc. The light on the surface of the array disc was gradually dimming. At the same time, the grey-robed man's face also dimmed.
"They came so quickly …" The grey-robed man muttered to himself.
Just now, he had received news that the entire Blood Lion Legion had moved out and were heading straight for his camp.
Although he was a little surprised at the speed of the Blood Lion Legion's movements, the Liu Family's army had been caught off guard and had just been defeated. However, due to their quick reactions, they did not suffer too many losses. After a short rest, they had already regrouped.
"Hmph! They've come at the right time. We were unprepared for the previous battle and could only retreat when we were attacked from both sides. Now is the perfect time to let the Huangfu family experience the power of the Ancient Demonic Corpse. "The grey-robed man put away the communication array disc and sneered.
"Elder Ruan, since the Huangfu family dared to come, they must have made thorough preparations. Although we have the Ancient Demonic Corpse in our hands, we should still be cautious. "A silver-haired and silver-browed old man beside the grey-robed man said.
The old man wore a grey brocade robe and looked rather refined. His cultivation was around the initial stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, but his eyes flickered with wisdom from time to time. He seemed to be the military advisor here.
"Oh, Elder Qi, what do you think? Feel free to speak your mind." The grey-robed man's expression changed and he looked at the brocade robed old man.
The brocade robed old man had always been intelligent and resourceful. Even the patriarch, Liu Huifeng, was rather respectful towards him. Therefore, although the grey-robed man was a Profound Enlightenment Realm expert, he was still very polite to him.
"Elder Ruan, I have a plan that might work." The brocade robed old man rolled his eyes and a strange smile appeared on his face.
… …
A few dozen kilometers ahead of the Blood Lion Legion, over ten thousand vanguard troops were flying forward as they surveyed the surroundings with solemn expressions.
The commander of the vanguard troops, a red-haired burly man wearing purple-striped armor, was flying at the very front.
At this time, more than ten people were lined up behind him, and below them, a large number of uniformed Demon Dweller soldiers were lined up in hundreds of neat small battle formations. They slowly spread out in the air, forming a large battle formation.
Most of these demon soldiers were only at the Condensation Period and Crystallization Period, but the battle formation they formed was still overwhelming, and its momentum was extremely magnificent.
The Black Wind Mountain wasn't too far from Yinfeng City. After half an hour, the vanguard troops were less than ten kilometers away from the Black Wind Mountain.
In front of them was a large stretch of rolling black mountains. The mountains were steep and strange. At the same time, the surrounding void began to be filled with a faint black mist.
"Everyone, on guard!"
The red-haired burly man seemed to have sensed a trace of abnormality and yelled.
"Lord Commander, I have previously asked the guards in Yinfeng City. This mist is common in the Black Wind Mountain region. It shouldn't be the doing of the enemy." A tall and thin man beside him moved closer to the red-haired burly man and reported.
"Hmph! Whether it is the doing of the enemy or not, be careful. The terrain and environment here are the most suitable for ambush. "The red-haired burly man said in a deep voice.
The tall and thin man hurriedly agreed. Under the instruction of the red-haired burly man, a series of military orders were passed down.
Although the surrounding began to be filled with mist, the vanguard troops were originally used to explore the way. The five thousand people didn't slow down and continued to fly forward carefully.
As a result, after flying for less than a few kilometers, there was a thumping sound in the mist ahead. It seemed to be the sound of war drums.
The red-haired burly man's face changed. He waved his hand and made a gesture. More than ten thousand vanguard troops immediately stopped.
At this moment, the thick black mist in front and on both sides tumbled violently. Countless demon soldiers wearing gray armor slowly appeared. They were vaguely arranged into three square formations. The number of people added up was about five to six thousand.
It was the Liu Family army!
The opponent appeared without warning. At this moment, the distance between the two sides was less than a mile.
"Lord Commander, the distance is too close. I don't know if the opponent has reinforcements. But if we retreat, I fear they will attack from behind! "The tall and thin man beside the red-haired burly man's face changed and he hurriedly said to the red-haired burly man.
"Hmph, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. Pass down my order. Everyone, attack! End this battle quickly!"
The red-haired burly man could naturally see the awkwardness of the situation. His eyes sharpened and he abruptly pointed forward with his right hand.
At the same time, he flipped his left hand and a communication formation plate appeared in front of him. He waved his hand and struck a spell seal. A purple light screen appeared on the purple disk. The light on the screen twisted like ripples on water. Gradually, a blurry human face appeared. It was none other than the supreme commander of the Blood Lion Legion, Huangfu Yupo.
The red-haired burly man's eyes flashed and he quickly reported, "Elder Yupo, we have been ambushed by several thousand Liu Family soldiers hiding in the thick mist one kilometer away from Black Wind Mountain. Our vanguard has launched an all-out attack!"
By the time the red-haired man sent the message, the two armies had already started fighting.
Incantations echoed from both sides at the same time. Soon after, spiritual lights flickered as spells and demonic artifacts shot out from both sides towards each other, creating loud rumbling sounds.
Lights of various colors collided with each other in mid-air, and most of them dissipated. However, there were still quite a few attacks that landed in the enemy's camp.
Rumble!
A series of muffled sounds and blood-curdling screams rang out. The first round of attacks had injured more than a hundred people.
"If it's an ambush, then they seem to be lacking in numbers … Act according to the situation and don't blindly chase after them. Wait for us!" Huangfu Yupo spoke in a low voice from within the violet screen of light.
"I will not disappoint the Venerable One!" The red-haired man heard this and immediately accepted the order.
The purple light curtain flickered twice before dissipating, and the communication array disc quickly returned to its original state. The red-haired burly man waved his hand and collected it.
"Activate the Blood Lion Shield!" The red-haired man roared.
As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so deputy generals spread out and chanted incantations at the same time. Soon after, a dozen or so huge blood-red shields slowly rose up, barely covering the Blood Lion Legion's vanguard camp.
As soon as the shield was formed, the second round of attacks began.
More than a hundred purple-robed figures flew out from the Blood Lion Legion's vanguard camp, each holding a large purple flag that was taller than a person.
Spell seals fell on the large purple flag, and it immediately shone brightly. With a whoosh, it unfurled, revealing the image of a flood dragon embroidered in the center of the flag.
The flood dragon's eyes suddenly opened, as if it was about to fly out of the flag. Purple pillars of fire as thick as buckets shot out from the top of the large purple flag towards one of the Liu Family's battle formations. The void seemed to be split into over a hundred pieces, and its imposing manner was astonishing.
