The demonfolk camp spanned hundreds of kilometers. All of it shook. At the centre was a high mound. Eleven totem pillars reached into the clouds. Only the last one was needed for the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous to be complete.
Military formations depended on the hearts of people. The hearts of people were fickle. They were better at attacking than at defending.
The Dao of Array Formations depended on the geographical location. Geography was stable. They were better at defending than attacking.
In order to cast down this formation, the twelve Demon Emperors had mobilized an army of a million. They dug into the ground day and night, altering the terrain within a radius of fifty kilometers.
Compared to this, the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous used to ambush Chao Tianjiao in Coldblood Pass was as simple as it could get.
Demon Emperor Yingzhe squinted at the golden-armoured Li Qingshan who strode over. He asked, "Tu Wancheng, who's the leader?"
"I- I don't know." Tu Wancheng hesitated. He knew all the true disciples of the Myriad sect by heart, but he was unable to match them.
Yingzhe said firmly, "This person can replace Chao Tianjiao in battle. He can't be a nameless person! There are courageous people among humans too. " Then he smiled faintly, "It's a pity that this person doesn't know about battle formations. He only knows how to show off, actually standing at the front of the army. Tu Wan Cheng, go and mobilize the troops to kill him! Black Cloud city has fallen! "
"Yes, sir!" Although Tu Wancheng refused to accept Yingzhe, he agreed with him. The commander had died in battle, so it was impossible for them to replace him. The Xuanwu army collapsed immediately. What followed was a massacre.
On the battlefield, Li Qingshan did not take a single step back. He advanced alone and crossed the border very soon. Not only did the crisscrossing laws of the world suppress all power, but even the "Giant Spirit Armor" he wore immediately became heavy.
At this moment, the Xuanwu army had yet to leave the city completely. Once there were over ten thousand people, there would be a sea of them, let alone an army of five hundred thousand. Even if they were packed tightly together, they could still form a line over five kilometers away.
The commandants of the five armies were still reorganizing the army. The captains and brigade commanders constantly received and passed down orders. The squad leaders, sergeants, and sergeants did their best to cooperate, but it was inevitable that there would be some chaos.
This was the most dangerous situation. The military formation had not yet taken shape, but the commander-in-chief had already entered deep into enemy territory. No matter how strong his aura was, he was only a Human Sovereign.
Hu! A gust of wind blew in his face. Li Qingshan raised his head slightly.
Kill! Rumble. The earth trembled and the sounds of killing shook the heavens.
The orderly pace of the Xuanwu Army was disrupted. Li Qingshan looked ahead and saw smoke and dust rising in front of him. Countless heads were surging. He couldn't see the end of it. Who knew how many tens of thousands of them there were?
Military Qi condensed, and killing intent surged into the sky. It was as if the heavens were falling and the earth was splitting apart, giving Li Qingshan an unprecedented sense of pressure. He realized that he was also facing a giant warbeast, but it was ten times bigger, and it was swinging its claws at him!
The generals turned pale with fright and shouted, "Protect the general!"
Without needing them to give the order, the soldier at the front had already quickened his pace. With the determination to die, they forged a wall of flesh and blood to stop the demonfolk army.
Dai Mengfan was in charge of commanding the group of true disciples. "No matter what, we must protect him. If anyone dares to cower in battle, I will skin him alive!
Li Qingshan's footsteps paused slightly.
The twanging of bowstrings merged together, immediately drowning out the battle cries.
Thousands of arrows were fired together. The sky darkened like a dark cloud had suddenly risen up, blanketing the surroundings.
Among them were several hundred "Flying Meteors". They actually did not stand out at all.
However, this time, they all bypassed Li Qingshan at the front. Their target was the Xuanwu Army behind him.
"All soldiers, maintain your formation. Do not wander around! "Li Qingshan ordered," All true disciples, protect the army! "
He gripped the hilt of his blade slowly and lowered his body slightly. With a boom, the sand below his feet sprayed into the air as he suddenly sped up.
He had actually left the army on his own. He charged at the demonfolk army alone.
All the true disciples were stunned. They looked at Dai Mengfan.
Dai Mengfan was taken aback too. She gritted her teeth. "Protect the army!"
Ruan Yaozhu leapt into the air on her white deer. With a wave of her hand, countless arrows sprouted. Some of them even bloomed into flowers. They immediately slowed down, falling into the army. They no longer possessed much power, blocked by the armour.
"Nice move, junior sister!" Le Tian praised. The three-legged golden toad beneath his feet swelled in the wind. Its belly swelled up, almost becoming a ball. With a croak, it was like thunder, blowing away a large swathe of "dark clouds".
Resplendent techniques rushed into the air, sweeping away the endless rain of arrows. Boom!
Boom! Boom! The streak of light pierced through several dozen Flying Meteors.
Wan Jianfeng stopped. He needed to catch his breath. If this were a battle of magical abilities, even ten thousand Flying Meteors would not be able to harm a single hair on him. However, a battle formation was completely different. He had to take into account the drain on his energy and stamina.
How could it be easy to fend off an entire army with a single sword? Fortunately, there were many direct disciples working together, which was why they could stop it.
However, everyone's attention was focused on the charging lone figure at the front. They all thought the same thing, "This junior brother Li is extremely talented and powerful, but he's far too reckless!"
The wind grew louder and louder. The battle cries were deafening. The vicious faces of the demonfolk at the very front could be clearly seen.
Under the golden helmet, Li Qingshan smiled. He took a step, and the ground cracked as he rushed into the air.
Everyone raised their heads. Their hearts were in their throats.
Li Qingshan constantly rose up, dispersing a large swathe of arrows and shattering a Flying Meteor.
In the blink of an eye, the almost complete "Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous" appeared in the distance.
He continued to rise, passing through the clouds in the next moment. The sea of clouds stretched for thousands of kilometers, and the sun blazed brightly.
"Reckless!" Ying Zhe shook his head in disdain. He smiled at the Demon Emperors. "Don't tell me he's trying to escape! At least he's a little smart! "
The moment he reached the highest point, there was a clang. Li Qingshan drew his Ending Blossoming Blade and descended from above.
Boom!
He burst through the sea of clouds in a single moment, leaving behind a huge hole. The sunlight illuminated the ground, enveloping the demonfolk army. The demonfolk could not help but squint their eyes.
Under the sunlight, the golden armour shone even more brightly, rapidly descending towards the demonfolk army like a scorching sun.
The demonfolk refused to back down. Surging military qi condensed into a vicious beast, clawing its way towards Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan swung down with his blade. The blade aura whistled through the air, cutting deeply into the vicious beast's body.
However, the vicious beast condensed from military qi had no flesh or blood, so it was not afraid of this at all. It extended its claws towards Li Qingshan instead.
"Myriad Flowers!"
The blade aura bloomed again and again like a flower. The resplendent blade light erupted thousands of times, tearing the vicious beast to pieces and swallowing it immediately.
Boom! The ground shook violently. Li Qingshan landed in the centre of the demonfolk army. The Demon Emperor at the front was smashed to a pulp along with his mount. A wave of earth swept out in all directions, knocking countless demonfolk into the air.
Ying Zhe was rendered speechless, while the Demon Emperors were dumbfounded. Even with their bodies, they would definitely be heavily injured if they were smashed like that in the border region.
The true disciples all widened their eyes. Wan Jianfeng said with difficulty, "Just what kind of monster is this?"
In the centre of the huge pit, where the light illuminated, Li Qingshan raised his Ending Blossoming Blade high into the air. "Victory!"
