Self-detonation had always been used by the weaker side as a last resort against a strong enemy. The demons clearly had the advantage in terms of military strength, overall strength, and other aspects. However, they followed the example of the Dao League and self-detonated at every turn. The defenders of the Dao League were caught off guard and unable to defend themselves.
Faced with such a heavy attack, how could the Celestial Wolf Mountain not be in danger? It could really be lost at any time.
Daoist Huo had already sent a messenger over and was rushing over.
"At most, we can only hold on for three more days. I'm ashamed that I can't complete the one month mission. It's a pity that I can't exterminate the demons in this lifetime. "
These were Daoist Huo's original words. It was also his will, his final farewell.
There was no anger or despair. It was very calm and there was no concern for the safety of his brothers here.
It was just a plain and straightforward notification.
Three days. At most, we won't be able to hold on for three more days.
Prepare yourselves!
…
On the other side of the Celestial Wolf Mountain.
Daoist Huo stood in front of the pass and watched the fierce battle outside!
Within a radius of a few thousand miles, corpses had already piled up very, very thick. There were Dao League warriors and demon warriors.
The smell of blood filled the air.
On the other side, a huge fire had already started to burn the corpses.
However, the demons didn't care about corpses or plagues. Almost all the corpses that landed on the demons' side had been eaten …
It was only because they were fighting on the battlefield that they didn't have time to eat. Otherwise …
Daoist Huo looked at the smoke in front of him and asked softly, "How many people have not retreated from the continent behind us?"
"Roughly estimating, there are about seven to eight hundred million people who haven't retreated … Over here, the battle is still ongoing. There are countless people who have stayed behind and are sending resources to the frontlines to reward the army …"
A Heavenly King behind him lowered his head. His face was filled with indescribable complexity.
In reality, those who hadn't left weren't just seven to eight hundred million.
This number was far more than that.
"Haha … Reward the army …" Daoist Huo revealed a mocking smile.
Rewarding the army was once an exceptionally honorable act. Especially rewarding the army who had personally gone to the battlefield, it showed even more camaraderie!
However, rewarding the army in this era had long lost its original meaning.
If it was an ancient war, there would be no such thing as flying in the sky or burrowing into the ground, and there would be no such thing as a space ring … Rewarding the army would naturally be very meaningful, and would be able to stimulate the morale of the soldiers.
However, it was now the peak of martial arts, and everyone who participated in the war was a cultivator, a warrior who had entered the Way.
Why would they need ordinary people to reward them?
Even if they sent food or whatever, it was useless!
The Jade of Astral Souls was used by high-level martial artists for cultivation. High-grade Jade of Astral Souls was just the beginning, but for ordinary people who didn't know any martial arts, a low-grade Jade of Astral Souls was not only a family heirloom, but also a treasure to show off the family's wealth … This difference had long surpassed the knowledge of ordinary people.
"The so-called reward for the army is just these ordinary people trying to find some comfort for themselves … They don't want to leave, they don't want to give up anything, but they want to use this method to lock the soldiers on the moral high ground and force them to fight to the death … Haha …"
Daoist Huo was experienced in the ways of the world and his heart was as clear as a mirror at this moment.
What he thought and said were the thoughts of those who didn't leave.
"If I want to leave, I can leave even if the sky falls and the earth shatters, and billions of lives are waiting to be slaughtered. If I want to stay, I can stay even if there's no one behind me! Using this little trick on me is simply a joke! "
A Heavenly King beside him had cracked lips and begged, "Elder Ancestor, please leave with Elder Yun! If we stay here, the war will continue … For the foundation of our Dao League, I beg you, Elder Ancestor, please leave! "
All the soldiers knelt down at the same time. "Elder Ancestor, please leave! I beg you! For the sake of the Dao League! "
The Dao League Heavenly King's words made sense. The Dao League's Seven Swords were the pinnacle of the Dao League, the pillars that supported the heavens, and the gathering of the Dao League's fate.
Even if too many of the other members of the Dao League died, as long as the Dao League's Seven Swords were still around, the fate of the Dao League would be complete.
However, once one of the Seven Swords died, the fate of the Dao League would no longer be complete. If both Daoist Huo and Daoist Yun died in this battle, the fate of the Dao League would definitely be weakened. How could it survive this apocalyptic catastrophe?
"Leave?"
Daoist Huo and Daoist Yun chuckled. The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.
"Leave, we can leave anytime. However, once we lose our face, the seven of us won't be able to raise our heads again in this lifetime."
The two of them were full of kindness as they looked at the smoke in front of them.
"Yun, back then … when you plotted against Zuo Xiaoduo, have you ever felt ashamed? Have you ever regretted it? "
"Not at all." Daoist Yun smiled calmly. "After all, I've never admitted that it's better to be known by others than to be seen by others. That was until that day when I told Zuo Changchang. However, at that time … Zuo Changchang couldn't hit me anymore … hehe … "
"Hehe, narrow-minded."
"Yes, I'm short-sighted. This problem of being jealous of talents seems to have been brought from birth. I really can't do anything about it."
Daoist Yun smiled and said, "However, I didn't go too far. Now that I think about it, I should be thankful. I should be thankful that I hesitated at that time. "
Daoist Huo smiled. "You're right. Back then, we only lost a few Fairies. Against Zuo Changchang's son, even if you, He Feng, personally took action, it might not be safe. "
"However, I still did it in the end. It doesn't matter who did it."
Daoist Yun sighed softly. "Hesitation is one thing. However, back then, I really didn't want that kid to live."
He said with a heavy tone, "This is the truth."
"I understand. I completely understand."
Daoist Huo smiled warmly.
Daoist Yun smiled bitterly. "However, when I say that I'm thankful, I'm also telling the truth. If I had really succeeded back then … I'm afraid we wouldn't even have to fight today."
Daoist Huo fell silent for a moment. After a long while, he said indifferently, "If I had succeeded back then … even if we fought today, I'm afraid … you might not have been able to participate. Or perhaps, the demons wouldn't have had to put in so much effort."
Daoist Yun coughed violently and smiled bitterly.
"Perhaps it's because I'm at death's door that I keep thinking about the past. I've actually done a lot of wrong things in this life."
Daoist Yun said, "Since young, I've been narrow-minded and competitive. I've been short-sighted and only looked at what's in front of me. I've been selfish and thought that doing my best for the Dao League was the most noble thing in the world. I've let go of small mistakes for the sake of the greater good … Now that I think about it, my life has been full of small mistakes. Everything is ironic and ridiculous."
Daoist Huo looked into the distance in a daze and said as if he was dreaming, "I wonder if Demon Ancestor Rahu will have a day like us … Will he also feel that … his life is actually very ridiculous?"
After a long while, the two of them didn't speak and looked at each other in silence.
The sky darkened bit by bit. The demons had already gained the upper hand. It was only a matter of time for them to overcome this obstacle. At most, they would break through in three days!
The wind whistled.
The brothers of tens of thousands of years looked at each other and smiled.
"You first, or me first?"
"I'll go first."
"Mm. Remember to wait for me. Take care."
"Definitely."
The tragic final battle finally began.
Daoist Huo and Daoist Yun led the remaining six million Dao League soldiers and decided to fight with their lives on the line.
In the following three days and three nights, they didn't even stop for a second!
The demons had already seen the dawn of victory. They wouldn't slack off at all. They pressed forward with all their forces, only wanting to take down Celestial Wolf Mountain in one go!
The demons that covered the entire mountain broke through from many directions and surrounded the Dao League's army from all sides.
Yes, at this time, many demons had already invaded the interior. Demonic clouds billowed and smoke filled the sky. Screams and curses sounded one after another and disappeared one after another …
Late at night on the third day, Daoist Yun fought with his sword and shouted loudly. He didn't have the demeanor of a Daoist expert. Instead, he was more like a Demon God that had descended to the world.
There was no one around him.
The Dao League's army had already been wiped out. The three Heavenly Kings had also died from self-detonation!
Daoist Yun was the only one left fighting with his life. His sword flashed and swept back, carving out a bloody path in the dense demon army. However, it was filled by even more demons …
Countless experts of the Demon Clan charged back and forth, one after another …
Although Daoist Yun was a giant of the current era, he was at the peak of the world. However, there was a limit to one's strength. At this time, he was already exhausted. The Heavenmend Stone that Zuo Changlu gave him had already been used up.
He was constantly injured, constantly recovering, constantly receiving heavy blows, and being injured again and again …
The demon powerhouses were hiding in the army and constantly launching sneak attacks.
Daoist Yun was very unwilling.
He knew that his life had already come to an end. His only remaining wish was to find a Demon King and perish together with him.
He didn't want to leave like this. It didn't match his status as the peak of the current era.
However, this wish was obviously a delusion at this time.
At this time, after experiencing too many self-detonations from the Dao League, the demons were more and more familiar with the timing of self-detonation. At this time, there wasn't a single Demon King who was stupid enough to fight head-on to fulfill his opponent's final wish …
In fact, even a demon god wouldn't come close to it.
In a faraway place …
"Brother! So it's me who went first! "
A heroic laugh shook the heavens.
An earth-shattering explosion shook the earth. Even the Heroic Soul Pass, which hadn't been damaged much until now, was blown apart by the earth-shattering power. Countless crisscrossing ravines appeared on the ground.
Daoist Huo had self-detonated!
Daoist Yun waved his sword crazily. The demons around him fell one by one. Blood splattered everywhere. Tears streamed down his face. He laughed loudly, "Old bastard, we agreed that I would go first. You didn't keep your word! You didn't keep your word! "
"Don't go too far! Wait for me, wait for me! "
Priest Yun boosted up the last bit of his life-force and let it erupt. He rushed towards the place where the devil army was densest, forgetting about everything else.
"Boss, I'm sorry … I can't hold on for another month!"
