Demon General Qing Ge looked at the seemingly sturdy and powerful formation in Luoyan Pass. A trace of excitement and heroism involuntarily rippled in his heart.
Wild Goose Pass. This was the beginning of his rise.
One day, he would grow from a mixed-blood to an existence like his father, the Blade Demon Venerable!
As for the protective formation, the Demons had fought against the humans for tens of thousands of years. They had a rough understanding of the foundation of the human's formation.
Formations were dead, while humans were alive.
It was not difficult to break the formation. All they needed was a bit more time!
…
Under Qing Ge's "command", the Demons' attack officially began.
Breaking the formation was a simultaneous process.
The Demons' army that surrounded Wild Goose Pass attacked the formation of Wild Goose Pass under the lead of the Rank Seven Demon Cultivators.
In an instant, Wild Goose Pass shook.
In the face of the relentless attacks from the devilish army, the protective formation was like a small boat in a stormy sea, teetering on the brink of collapse. The light in the sky rippled as if it were about to shatter at any moment.
.....
"The Demons have mobilized close to fifty Rank Seven Demon Cultivators this time. Under such overwhelming strength, breaking out of the encirclement is nothing but empty talk.
Right now, our Wild Goose Pass's only chance of survival lies in the hands of that Rank Six Demon Cultivator. As for whether you want to take this risk, "the Marquis of Calm Sea looked at the other Body Integration cultivators," it's up to you. "
Booms rang out continuously. The Demons were still attacking wildly.
Raging flames rained down. Poisonous blood sprayed out. The Demons' hands were blades as they swung their blades at the sky. There were also incomparably sharp, howling gales that swept through the area …
All sorts of abilities were unleashed at the same time.
The formation was already on the verge of collapse under the Demons' wild attacks. However, at the same time, under the control of the cultivators of Wild Goose Pass, the formation was also continuously counterattacking the Demons.
Wave after wave of Demons fell from the sky under the formation's counterattack.
The cultivators of Wild Goose Pass were now faced with a difficult choice.
Either that, or all of the Body Integration cultivators would immediately enter the formation to preside over it.
With their participation, not only would the formation last longer, but they would also be able to make use of the formation's power to deal more damage to the Demons. At the very least, they would be able to kill quite a number of Grade Seven Demonic Cultivators.
The disadvantage was that without any support, once they made this choice, it meant that they would definitely die.
The only difference was how much damage it could cause to the Demons.
A cultivator's magic power was always limited. Once they ran out of magic power, it would be the time for the formation to break.
The second option was to let the low-level cultivators take charge of the formation and use the power of the formation to fight against the Demons.
As for the Body Integration Stage cultivators, they were looking for an opportunity to leave the Luoyan Pass. They were going to charge through the army of Demons and approach the battleship to capture Qing Ge alive.
This was a gamble.
If they succeeded, they would have a great chance of protecting Luoyan Pass.
But this was only a chance, because Demon General Qing Ge might not be as extraordinary as they thought. He alone was not enough to force the Demons to retreat.
Moreover, they might not even be able to capture Demon General Qing Ge alive.
Nearly 50 Grade Seven Demonic Cultivators were eyeing them covetously. These Demonic Cultivators were not incompetent. How could they just sit and watch as the human cultivators approached the battleship?
Once they made this choice, regardless of whether they succeeded or not, the threat they posed to the Demons would greatly decrease. They would have to leave the protection of the Luoyan Pass Grand Formation and head towards Tiger Mountain.
There was not much time left for the cultivators of Luoyan Pass to think.
.....
"Kill!"
Tens of thousands of Demons covered the sky and the sun, densely filling the space around Luoyan Pass.
Even the weakest of them were Grade Four Demons.
There were also quite a number of Grade Five and Grade Six Demons.
In the strict hierarchy of Demons, they could only enter the battlefield and make contributions in exchange for an opportunity to transform. As such, they were both crazy and ferocious.
"The formations of the human race are really annoying." On the battleship, Qing Ge's expression was calm. He frowned slightly as he saw that nearly 1,000 Demons had already been killed by the formation's counterattack.
Of course, it was not because of heartache.
The lives of low-grade Demons were worthless in the Abyss.
Although the Abyss was vast, there was a limit to the number of Demons it could support.
Twenty thousand years ago, the number of Demons had already exceeded the Abyss' capacity.
Under such circumstances, they could either expand their resources or reduce their consumption. They chose the former method, which was why they launched an invasion against the human race in an attempt to seize a new territory.
After failing to invade the human race's Firmament Heaven, the Demons' Demon Lords even intentionally sent the low-grade Demons in the Abyss to the Extraterritorial Battlefield as cannon fodder in order to reduce their consumption. The deaths of more ordinary Demons were beneficial to reducing the burden on the Abyss.
As for him, Qing Ge, as the son of a Demon Lord, his bloodline was noble. He did not even care about Grade Seven Demons, let alone the lives of these ordinary Demons.
.....
The Demons' attack was still ongoing.
In the silence, Brigadier General Tang Ze looked coldly at the situation and was the first to make a decision. "General, let's give it a try."
His gaze was filled with determination.
"There are still so many young cultivators in Luoyan Pass who have just entered the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
If they grow up, they might become Realm Eight cultivators. Even if it's for them, we have to give it a try! "
Tang Ze turned around and looked at the city gate tower.
There were groups of hot-blooded low-grade cultivators who had entered the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
Demons had always viewed the lives of low-grade Demons as worthless, but the human race viewed low-grade cultivators as their future hope.
"I agree with Tang Ze. Let's give it a try!" The female spirit cultivator who had just been saved by Tang Ze gritted her teeth and expressed her stance.
"I agree too!"
"Give it a try. At most, we'll die!"
After Tang Ze spoke, voices of agreement rose and fell one after another, and everyone expressed their agreement.
The Marquis of Calm Sea's emotionless gaze swept across their faces. "Then, Li City?"
"We have to do something, don't we?" Tang Ze nodded and said affirmatively.
"Alright, then …" The Marquis of Calm Sea paused.
"Li City!" In the next instant, the Marquis of Calm Sea shouted loudly.
His loud and clear voice floated above the stormy city pass.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Marquis of Calm Sea's figure rose into the air. He turned into a streak of light and charged toward the Demons' army outside the city.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! "
The others did not hesitate. The sound of air being torn apart rang out. In a short while, all the Body Integration cultivators in Luoyan Pass rushed out.
…
The instant they left the city, the grade-seven Devil Cultivators who had surrounded Luoyan Pass charged toward them.
There were 18 Body Integration cultivators in Luoyan Pass.
They formed an arrowhead formation with their bullseye pointed at the battleship.
At the front of the formation were two sword cultivators.
In an ordinary battle, the ones at the front would be the body cultivators with thick skin and thick flesh.
However, this battle was about charging, breaking out of an encirclement, and breaking through the formation. What they needed was unparalleled momentum.
Among the Six Cultivators of True Virtue, sword cultivators were the best at breaking through formations.
Sword cultivators were natural attackers. Hence, even though their physical bodies were weak, they still stood at the front without hesitation.
They were not afraid of death.
The two grade-seven sword cultivators shone with dazzling radiance. They were like arrows released from a bow. They formed two straight lines, one on the left and one on the right. They stepped on the waves and shot toward the Devil Cultivators in front of them.
Behind the two of them, the other cultivators also went about their duties.
The grade-seven sword cultivator on the left wielded a longsword with cold, green wind swirling around it. He slashed it forward.
Green wind and sword Qi burst out, stirring up turbulence in the air as they tore through space.
The two grade-seven Devil Cultivators in front of him could not help but change their expressions when they saw this.
They were veterans of hundreds of battles. They knew the explosive power of human sword cultivators very well.
They could not block this attack head-on. Otherwise, they would definitely suffer.
Left with no choice, they could only step aside to avoid this unstoppable sword strike.
This did not mean anything.
This was because the Demons had the advantage in numbers.
Under the full power of the grade-seven sword cultivator, a path was opened for the time being. However, the other grade-seven Devil Cultivators quickly attacked. Boom!
Boom!
Tentacles as sharp as blades suddenly shot out at this moment, attacking the sword cultivator at the front of the group of cultivators.
At the same time, grade-seven Devil Cultivators closed in on the human cultivators.
Comparatively speaking, the majority of demons were more adept at close combat.
"Be careful!" When the Marquis of Calm Sea saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly ordered, "Protect the flanks and continue forward!"
The sword cultivators were the arrowheads. They had the responsibility of charging forward.
The body cultivators who were supposed to be at the front were responsible for protecting the flanks.
At the same time, he activated his Calm Sea Dao Domain and charged forward to block the attacks of the grade-seven Devil Cultivators.
The sword cultivators advanced courageously. They had to become the sword cultivators' solid shields.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Clang! The sharp tentacles danced. They were so fast that blurry afterimages appeared. They bombarded the Marquis of Calm Sea's Dao Domain, but they produced metallic sounds.
.....
On the battleship.
Qing Ge looked at the Human Clan cultivators who were constantly charging across the Devil Clan army, but he was in a very good mood.
At this moment, the demonic cultivator standing behind Qing Ge took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Sir, these human cultivators are targeting you. Should we retreat first to avoid any accidents?"
The Marquis of Calm Sea's goal was too obvious. The Demons could see through it with a single glance.
However, the human race had no other choice. They had no choice but to fight against time. They had no choice but to go all out. How could they care about "building one path in the open and another in the dark"?
Qing Ge stood on the deck of the battleship with his hands behind his back. He shook his head and sneered. "Why should we leave? If I leave, won't they hide back in their turtle shells?
Let them charge. I'll stay here and not move. Let's see if they have the ability to reach me!
"Besides, even if they can really reach me … so what?"
The other Devil Cultivators on the battleship exchanged glances and hurriedly praised him, "My lord is right. My lord is wise!"
Qing Ge could not help but laugh maniacally.
The feeling of controlling an army of tens of thousands and deciding the life and death of the human cultivators was intoxicating to him.
"This is not enough. I want to become someone like my father!" Qing Ge's heart surged as he looked at the human cultivators with a venomous gaze. "You will be my stepping stones!"
.....
Some time had passed since the cultivators of Luoyan Pass began their charge.
With double the number difference, the human cultivators' charge was like an egg striking a rock.
In the face of the Demons' endless attacks, the Body Integration cultivators of Luoyan Pass found it extremely difficult to deal with them.
In just a short while, their army was already full of openings, and many of them were injured.
If this situation continued, it would not be long before some of the human cultivators died.
Once someone died, the momentum they had been trying to maintain would quickly crumble, and they would all be wiped out.
This was an open scheme.
Qing Ge knew that the Daoist race's plan was to do the exact opposite and go along with the human cultivators' wishes. He would remain where he was and allow the human cultivators to charge.
After all, if the human cultivators resisted with their large army, it would be quite troublesome.
However, in order to take him down, the human cultivators had given up on their home ground and placed themselves in a situation where they were outnumbered.
This was exactly what he wanted!
Qing Ge was in high spirits.
However, what he did not notice was that as the human cultivators charged at the battleship, there was another person on the battleship who had a different expression.
It was Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan, who was observing the situation and trying to see if he could take advantage of the chaos to escape, was still on the battleship.
Because he was a cultivator of the Hades, he could move about freely on the battleship.
At this time, most of the Demons' attention on the battleship had been attracted by the human cultivators. The army of Demons that had originally protected the battleship at the center was now charging at the front, leaving no one behind.
This was a good opportunity to leave. Lu Qingshan was about to try to escape.
Then, he saw the great cultivators of Luoyan Pass charging at the battleship.
He immediately understood the intentions of the cultivators of Luoyan Pass, which made him stop in his tracks.
"Let's observe the situation first. Maybe I can help …" After hesitating for a moment, Lu Qingshan decided to stay and observe the situation.
If he was strong enough, with his excellent position and the Seventh Stage Demons' cultivators on the front line, he could even directly attack and take down Demon General Qing Ge.
Unfortunately, he was not strong enough.
He was now only a Three Flower Realm cultivator, while Qing Ge was a beginner Demon General. This was a huge gap in strength that he could not cross.
It should be known that when he faced an ordinary cultivator of the Hades Early Stage Soul Formation, he used all his means and borrowed the power of the mountains and seas to fight dozens of rounds. Only then did he manage to kill him at the cost of 600 years of his lifespan due to a moment of carelessness.
Now, he had only advanced from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Three Flower Realm. Although his combat strength had increased by a lot, there was no substantial transformation.
Moreover, the difficulty of capturing alive was several times higher than killing.
It was impossible for him to capture Qing Ge, who had the combat strength of a beginner Demon General, in an instant.
