"Go!"
As Liu Ming raised his hand, the eight Beads of Mountains and Rivers spun and shot out, releasing bursts of dazzling yellow light in mid-air.
Rumble!
Eight huge mountains emerged from the crisscrossing yellow light and crashed into the horde of Ancient Fiend Corpses with tremendous power, almost knocking all the Ancient Fiend Corpses away.
It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but two of the Ancient Fiend Corpses were not hit by the giant mountains and survived, but their original momentum was also slowed down by the earthy yellow light.
At this moment, Zhao Qianying shouted and made a hand seal. The purple cauldron in front of her once again spat out dozens of purple chains, binding up the two Ancient Fiend Corpses that were not knocked away.
Liu Ming formed a sword seal and slashed at one of the Ancient Fiend Corpses with the Void Sword Pill. An emerald green saber light flew out of his sleeve and attacked another Ancient Fiend Corpses. It was the Green Demon Blade.
The two joined forces and killed another two Ancient Fiend Corpses in the blink of an eye!
In mid-air, Huangfu Jiangu's face turned a little ugly when he saw Liu Ming and Zhao Qianying kill several Ancient Fiend Corpses in a row under their tacit cooperation.
He knew that with his own strength, it would be quite difficult for him to deal with one Ancient Demonic Corpse, provided that it was a one-on-one fight. The strength displayed by the two of them under the siege of more than twenty Ancient Demonic Corpses was far beyond his imagination.
According to this situation, as long as there was enough time, it was not impossible for Liu Ming and Zhao Qianying to kill more than 20 Ancient Fiend Corpses.
On the other side, the Blood Lion Legion, under the command of the eight Celestial Phenomenon Realm Commanders, had basically reorganized and began to confront the Liu Family's army head-on.
At this point in the battle, it was impossible for both sides to let go. It was necessary to determine the winner.
"Your Highness, should we help the two below or go block the Liu Family's army?" A red-robed Celestial Phenomenon Demon beside Huangfu Jiangu asked softly.
"Kill!"
Huangfu Jiangu bellowed and flew down. However, his target was not the Liu Family's army, but the remaining Ancient Fiend Corpses.
As a prince who was second only to Huangfu Liushui among the direct descendants of the Huangfu Clan, he had always been rather conceited. In terms of talent and cultivation, he wasn't inferior to Liu Ming. However, Liu Ming had interfered during the Crown Prince Selection Ceremony, and now, Liu Ming had stolen the limelight. This naturally made him unhappy.
With Huangfu Jiangu taking the lead, the surrounding people were slightly startled before they immediately followed suit and charged towards the remaining twenty Ancient Fiend Corpses.
For a time, treasure lights and Devil Qi interweaved in the air, and explosions rang out continuously, immediately attracting the attention of the Ancient Devil Corpses.
Liu Ming heaved a sigh of relief. Although he could temporarily control these Ancient Fiend Corpses by relying on the Mountain and River Pearl, it consumed a lot of energy. With the help of Heavenly Phenomenon Realm experts like Huangfu Jianguu, the pressure on him was greatly reduced.
As the deafening sounds of battle rang out, the Blood Lion Legion and the Liu Family's army in the distance had brought out their full strength, and a great battle had begun.
Although the Blood Lion Legion had just experienced a catastrophe, their overall strength was still much higher than the Liu Family's army. At this moment, several Heavenly Phenomenon Realm experts also flew out from the legion and rushed towards the Ancient Fiend Corpses.
In a one-on-one battle, no matter how powerful these Ancient Fiend Corpses were, they wouldn't be able to cause much trouble …
Two hours later, the original twenty Ancient Fiend Corpses were finally killed under the joint attack of Liu Ming and more than twenty people.
On the other side of the valley, the chaotic battle of more than a hundred thousand people finally broke out of a stalemate and the situation gradually became clear.
The Blood Lion Legion was indeed worthy of being one of the Huangfu Clan's trump cards. Coupled with the advantage in numbers and morale, although there were casualties on both sides, they gradually defeated the Liu Family's army.
In particular, after Liu Ming and the others destroyed the Ancient Fiend Corpses, the Blood Lion Legion suddenly gained more than twenty Heavenly Phenomenon Realm experts, and the Liu Family's army was routed even more.
In mid-air, the gray-robed man Ruan Wangtian, who was still entangled with Huangfu Yupo, was currently in a rather sorry state. His clothes were tattered and some traces of blood could be faintly seen.
It was obvious that Huangfu Yupo, who was exerting his full strength, was much stronger than him.
He urged the Demon Flood Dragon to block Huangfu Yupo's attack and took advantage of the situation to retreat several dozen feet, temporarily putting some distance between him and Huangfu Yupo. He swept his gaze over the battlefield below, and his originally gloomy expression became even more gloomy.
At this point in the battle, the Liu Family was left with less than twenty to thirty thousand people, less than half of the original number. Moreover, many of them were seriously injured, and if the battle continued, it was likely that the entire army would be buried here.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he could not help but sigh softly and immediately gave the order to scatter and escape.
After receiving the order to retreat, the Liu Family's army, which had already lost the will to fight, immediately fled in all directions in disorder.
However, the Blood Lion Army did not give up and split into several groups, and began to pursue and kill them separately.
Ruan Wangtian activated the Devil Treasure again and forced Huangfu Yupo to retreat a few steps. With a wave of his hand, a ball of blue light flew out from his palm and exploded in mid-air, causing a spatial crack to appear in the void.
Without thinking, his figure flashed and disappeared within the crack.
Seeing this, Huangfu Yupo did not give chase. With a wave of one hand, she withdrew the attacks around her.
At this moment, she did not look too good. After fighting with a Metaphysic Realm cultivator of similar strength for such a long time, her magic power had been greatly depleted.
Looking at the Blood Lion Army who were in pursuit of the Liu Family, she frowned slightly. With a flip of her hand, she took out a Communication Formation Plate and cast a few spells onto it. The Communication Formation Plate flashed, and then calmed down.
Less than an hour later, the scattered Blood Lion Army had all returned to the valley.
After a bloody battle, the Blood Lion Army, which had more than a hundred thousand soldiers, was now left with just over seventy thousand people. They had also lost more than a third of their troops, and it was not a small loss.
Huangfu Yupo stood on the cliff of a valley, and all the high-ranking commanders of the army stood beside her.
At this moment, her face was a little pale, and she looked tired.
She looked around and her face darkened, but then she regained her composure.
What made her feel relieved was that the army had not lost many Celestial Phenomenon Demon Dwellers.
"I'll cut to the chase. This time, everyone fought bravely and I'll remember this credit. When the Liu Family has been defeated, you will be rewarded according to your contributions, "Huangfu Yupo said in a low voice.
As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of the people present did not ease. No one could immediately calm down after having just experienced a battle of life and death.
"At this moment, the Liu Family's army has just been defeated, and their morale is low. This is the best time for us to drive them out of Yinzhou!" Huangfu Yupo changed the topic and announced, raising her voice a little.
"Yes!"
Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers of the Blood Lion Army all became spirited and shouted in unison.
At this moment, Liu Ming was standing at the corner of the Celestial Phenomenon Demon Dwellers. His eyes flickered as he watched Huangfu Yupo issue the orders in an orderly manner.
Huangfu Yupo had obviously taken a huge risk in this battle. However, if that was not the case, it would be impossible for them to achieve such a result in such a short time.
Moreover, judging from her subsequent deployment, it was obvious that she had already clearly seen through the Liu Family's foothold in Yinzhou. Now that they were pursuing the enemy, they would probably be able to complete their initial mission soon.
This speed was probably the fastest among the six troops sent by the Central Dynasty.
After a while, all the high-ranking commanders of the Blood Lion Army left the cliff with their troops.
Only Huangfu Yupo, Zhao Qianying, and Liu Ming were left on the cliff.
Huangfu Yupo looked at Liu Ming and said with a relaxed expression, "Clan Leader Liu, it's all thanks to you for helping us in this battle."
Although she had just been fighting with Ruan Wangtian from the Liu Family in the sky, she had seen every move of the battle below. Naturally, she knew that Liu Ming played a pivotal role in this battle.
"This is what I should do." Liu Ming's expression was indifferent as he spoke humbly.
Zhao Qianying, who was at the side, pouted when she heard this. She seemed to be a little unconvinced.
Huangfu Yupo turned to look at Zhao Qianying's expression and said with a smile, "Ying 'er too. You've made a great contribution in this battle."
Zhao Qianying blushed as she looked at Liu Ming and said softly, "Master, you flatter me. It's all thanks to Liu … Liu. Otherwise, I would have been injured by those Demon Corpses."
Huangfu Yupo's eyes swept across Liu Ming and Zhao Qianying with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
She said, "I'll tell the Demon King about your outstanding performance in the future."
Liu Ming thanked her without changing his expression. Zhao Qianying didn't say anything else.
Huangfu Yupo then became silent and didn't say anything for a while, as if he was thinking about something.
Liu Ming stood aside with his hands by his side. He didn't say anything but thought about it.
Seeing this, Zhao Qianying could only wait quietly with her head slightly lowered. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Master Liu, did you notice anything from this battle?" Huangfu Yupo suddenly broke the silence.
"Although these Ancient Demonic Corpses are much weaker than they were in the Demonic Abyss, their cultivation is still there, and their defense is extremely strong. I'm afraid they are the biggest reliance of the Liu Family this time." When Liu Ming said this, there was a hint of hesitation on his face.
"Go on." Huangfu Yupo's eyes lit up when she heard this. Zhao Qianying also looked at Liu Ming.
Liu Ming looked at Huangfu Yupo and said slowly, "With all due respect, there are over a hundred Ancient Demon Corpses in the Yin Province alone. The situation in the other provinces should be similar. If the Liu Family continuously summons them from the Demon Abyss, we will definitely lose this battle."
"That's right! In fact, the Demon King sent me to the Yin Province this time. Firstly, it's to destroy the Liu Family's attack in the Yin Province. Secondly, it's to thoroughly investigate the source of the Ancient Demon Corpses. I originally planned to reclaim part of the lost land before investigating this matter. However, it seems that we have to act immediately. "Huangfu Yupo nodded in agreement and said in a deep voice.
Liu Ming's eyes flickered. He vaguely thought of something but didn't reply.
"In the Blood Lion Legion, no one can compare to Patriarch Liu in terms of cultivation, strength, or mentality. So, I would like to invite Patriarch Liu to make a trip to the Han Province and see if it's really the source of the demonic corpses," said Huangfu Yupo.
As the place where the entrance to the Demon Abyss appeared last time, the Han Province was obviously the most suspicious.
