Chapter 2237: The War God of the Demon Realm Arrives!
Xunyu Goddess is like a moving blood bag, constantly supplying energy to the two heavenly demons.
It also stays close to Wuxian's side, receiving the strictest protection, making it difficult for the Panlong Army to harm it.
He Lingchuan, however, pointed and shouted at the speeding Golden Horn clan:
"The breakthrough lies in these giant rhinos. Xunyu Goddess is also infusing them—this will surely become a major setback."
The blood toad and the Jin Du ghost offspring, relying on their agility, would flee after a missed strike, suffering few injuries and imposing little burden on Xunyu Goddess.
But the Golden Horn rhino herd is too large a target—no one could possibly miss.
At this moment, the shield at the front of the army let out a wild howl, and the heavy sword in hand smashed the Jin Du ghost offspring's head into a smashed watermelon!
The number of ghost offspring avatars decreased by one.
After just seven or eight breaths, the distant Jin Du ghost offspring glowed with green light again and split once more.
He Lingchuan noticed Xunyu Goddess's brows suddenly furrow, the flesh on her face seeming to sink in, her cheekbones protruding.
She lent part of her power to the Jin Du ghost offspring again.
At this moment, the Golden Horn clan, led by their chieftain, formed a charging formation.
In this narrow space, accelerating is difficult. To extend the distance, these Golden Horn rhinos started directly from behind the allied forces; any Xiluo people along the way who failed to dodge in time were crushed underfoot on the spot, becoming minced meat before they could even utter a sound.
Golden Horn rhinos possess a special charging talent—though their bodies are huge, they accelerate quickly, reaching full speed after a run-up of over ten zhang.
Once they get going, they are like locomotives—able to gore anyone they meet, unless blocked by something as massive as a woolly mammoth; otherwise, they are nearly unstoppable.
Moreover, in this formation, the Golden Horn General can gather all running clansmen into a single entity to jointly resist and share damage. During their charge, enemy arrows and flying spears are almost ineffective—only a few special weapons can inflict limited damage.
These thick-skinned, flesh-heavy monsters, once their defenses stack, are rarely pierced by any attack—let alone the fact that they have also received Xunyu Goddess's blessing.
Even the real-life Elder Shituo, the old ox immortal who loves to overpower others with strength, would likely not dare to collide head-on with them.
Capture the leader first— the Golden Horn General's target instantly locked onto the Red General, charging along the lake.
This thunderous herd of dozens of beasts kicked up dust as they came, shaking the earth and mountains—even veteran Panlong warriors, seeing them, had sweat trickle down their gun grips.
The lakeside open space is limited, making frontal confrontation inconvenient.
In the real-life Battle of Baiqiuyuan, the Dragon God Army also deployed a war elephant formation, using super-heavy beasts to crush the cavalry of Ya State in narrow terrain—remarkably similar in spirit to the Golden Horn General's tactics today.
However, He Lingchuan, accustomed to his own tactics, naturally has a counter. The order-bearer beside him let out several sharp whistle blasts, and the Panlong Army before the Golden Horn rhino herd scattered, avoiding the front.
He Lingchuan lightly lifted the reins, gripped his long spear, and rode alone to meet this herd of colossal beasts.
The Golden Horn General let out a loud snort—though he didn't know what trick this fellow was up to, the clan's speed had already increased, and whoever dared to block them would die!
At this moment, the sky suddenly showed an omen.
Xu Shichu urgently urged his horse forward to He Lingchuan's side, pointed at the sky, and said:
"General, look quickly!"
He Lingchuan waved his hand to deflect a cold arrow, followed the direction of his finger, looked up, and his pupils involuntarily contracted:
In the eastern clouds, a red light first flickered, then brilliance exploded, flying toward this place.
Xu Shichu said hoarsely: "It, it has come."
Mí Tiān neither comes early nor late—but chose this very moment to appear.
This light ball resembled the rising morning sun—unremarkable at first manifestation, but after just two or three breaths, suddenly radiance filled the heavens!
The clouds and rosy hues in the sky were instantly dyed gold-red.
Its speed is unmatched, and the faster it flies, the closer it gets, the stronger its light becomes.
Even the blazing sun at noon pales in comparison—let alone the explosion of the electric ball the Red General had just fired, whose brightness falls short of it.
Mountains and rivers, battlefield, lake water, warriors, warhorses—everything on the earth's surface within sight was stained with a deep blood-red hue.
Such a phenomenon, the Between Between Between Beijia army naturally could not remain indifferent.
Between Between Between Beijia General Wuxian looked up, his face full of astonishment: "Is this also a divine descent?"
He had witnessed Between Between Between Beijia's divine descents before, but none had ever changed the colors of mountains and rivers.
Seeing such a grand display, did the Panlong Army summon some heavenly deity?
The Xunyu Goddess beside them suddenly opened her eyes—her pupils large and dark:
"Mí Tiān has arrived! It vanished from the divine realm for a long time—this divine descent's power……is incredibly strong!"
Wuxian felt a chill creep up his back.
The Red General is already so hard to defeat—if divine descent power is added on top……
He doesn't know, but the opposing side feels even more chilled than he does.
The Red General happened to push aside two enemies, first glanced at the light ball in the sky, then turned her head to look at He Lingchuan and Xu Shichu.
She wore a mask, so the two could not see her expression, but this gesture made He Lingchuan feel she did not resign herself to fate—yet also seemed to be bidding farewell.
Zhong Shengguang had clearly said, for safety's sake, he had not told his daughter the plans involving the Bright Lamp Vase and the Black Dragon.
Mí Tiān often shares a sea of consciousness with her—who knows if the heavenly deity has some special means to search and examine the memories belonging to the Red General within that sea of consciousness?
Thus, Zhong Wuhan, despite being able to sense some clues from his father's and He Lingchuan's odd behavior, also had a vague speculation—but dared not dwell on it, fearing Mí Tiān would detect his thoughts.
At this moment, as she prepares to face her ultimate destiny, is she also feeling utterly desperate?
He Lingchuan cannot know her exact feelings, but he himself once wore the skin of a heavenly deity—he knows this moment is no easy ordeal for the Red General.
But the Red General merely glanced at him briefly, then backhandedly stabbed to death an enemy monster.
Continue fighting.
No matter whether Mí Tiān comes or not, she will fight until the very last moment, until victory!
This is her mission.
This is her destiny.
Just as the leaders on the battlefield were filled with myriad emotions, the red light in the sky also surged toward the Red General.
It flew lower and lower, already becoming a massive fireball that no one could stare at directly, its diameter nearly over two zhang, accompanied by a deep, rumbling sound like a beast's roar.
The overwhelming pressure forced the Beka troops near the Red General to retreat on their own. The Golden-Horned Rhino herd also unconsciously slowed their pace.
Who knows what will happen when this thing lands.
Xu Shichu spoke urgently to He Lingchuan: "General, prepare."
The Bright Lamp was in He Lingchuan's hand.
He should activate the Bright Lamp at the moment Lady Lady Lady Mitian rushes into the skin bag, using it to awaken the Dragon God!
This timing cannot afford the slightest error.
If delayed, even by just a few seconds, once Lady Lady Lady Mitian fully takes control of the Red General's body, no matter how the Bright Lamp is used, it will be ineffective, and thus the Dragon God cannot awaken.
This life-or-death situation will end with Lady Lady Lady Mitian's victory.
If too early, Lady Lady Lady Mitian will sense the anomaly and will not enter the skin bag. Then, Zhong Shengguang and the Dragon God's plan will likewise be completely ruined.
It can be said that the first key to the plan's success lies in He Lingchuan's judgment and control.
