Chapter 2765: How Should This Be Dealt With?

What's more interesting is that she shot straight toward the halo.

One end of the halo opened at Jiang Jiao Jiao's place, and Feng He Shen Nu and the Kui Beast just happened to charge to the other end of the halo.

This passage is mutual.

Jiang Jiao Jiao timed it perfectly, just as the Kui Beast was about to pass directly in front of the halo.

Feng He Shen Nu was fighting smoothly under the protection of the Kui Beast, and not far away, the Between Between Between Beijia army arrived as reinforcements; seeing the crisis about to be resolved, who would have thought that her halo would actually shoot out a string of linked arrows in reverse!

This was truly beyond expectation.

Moreover, the arrow Jiang Jiao Jiao shot had an acceleration effect: the farther it flew, the faster it accelerated. It took only an instant to pass through the halo, but the arrow counted only head-to-tail distance—from entry to exit was a hundred zhang, so the arrow should have accelerated tenfold.

After shooting out of the halo, all the accumulated acceleration was added at once; the shooting speed suddenly increased, becoming unreasonably fast.

Even Feng He Shen Nu, rich in combat experience, was caught off guard—she had just realized something was coming from the halo in reverse, hadn't had time to react, and was pierced through the eye by an arrow.

With a hiss, it went in front and out back; the arrow tip pierced out from the back of the skull, achieving a through-and-through shot!

Feng He Shen Nu collapsed face-up, hanging on the Kui Beast's body, devoid of vitality.

Although this skin of Xian Yun Shang Xian was sturdy, immortals also have vital spots; anyone shot in the head by an arrow could not possibly come back to life vigorous and healthy.

With the skin ruined, a red light flew out from Xian Yun Shang Xian's mouth and nose, rushing desperately toward the rear of the Between Between Between Beijia army.

This was Feng He Shen Nu's soul.

At this moment, who knows how many weapons on the scene were aimed at this red light? Feng He Shen Nu was a true deity descent, not merely an incarnation descending; that meant once it was destroyed, it would truly vanish like smoke and clouds.

The Kui Beast hastily reached out, cradling her soul in its palm.

But then Hu Min, who had rushed over, shot out two grappling hooks, embedding them in its shoulder and lower back, and violently pulled backward.

He was sly, knowing the Kui Beast possessed infinite strength; comparing brute force, he alone could not match it. So he immediately shouted for the nearby Jin Jia god general to bend down and grab the grappling hook, letting the two big fellows wrestle it out themselves.

He himself led his men forward and charged up.

Although the number of heavenly demons descended was not small, placed on the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of troops, they were like a drop of water in the sea. Ten war zones needed to allocate immortals and demons, and the calculation showed there simply weren't enough to go around. Other immortals and demons were not in this area, waiting to rush here urgently, but had already arrived too late.

Although the Between Between Between Beijia army fought with all their might to seize it, they were ultimately one step too late—the Kui Beast had its head chopped off by Jiang Jiao Jiao, and Feng He Shen Nu's soul also failed to escape Hu Min's blade.

On Chen En Ya, cheers rang like thunder; the blood feud of the Xun Mou Ying was finally avenged.

And in the rear camp of Between Between Between Beijia, Gao Huai Yuan gazed far at the battlefield, frowning and saying: "What kind of divine ability is that?"

A cold voice behind him replied: "The death mark of Lady Lady Lady Mitian."

Gao Huai Yuan wondered: "Hasn't Lady Lady Lady Mitian already fallen?"

That voice said: "Lady Lady Lady Mitian's death is controversial. Now it appears, the inheritor of the death divine status is precisely the one who killed Lady Lady Lady Mitian, and it is right here on this battlefield! Hmm, likely on Chen En Ya."

One who could inherit Lady Lady Lady Mitian's divine status must certainly not be an ordinary commander.

Gao Huai Yuan's gaze turned to Chen En Ya: "We must take that place as soon as possible."

And amidst the tense fighting, Chen En Ya continuously received intelligence and bad news from all sides of the battlefield.

"Report! The seventh zone was besieged by three Kui Beasts, Rong Hua Keng fell."

"Report! General Sun Xuan died in battle, Captain Lu Qing Xuan and his three-hundred-strong unit sacrificed!"

"Report! Chi Shuang True Person was ambushed by three immortals of Between Between Between Beijia and fell!"

Such reports came every few days, leaving everyone's hearts unusually heavy.

Having fought to this extent, the Battle of Ming Sha Lin had formally escalated into an Immortal-Demon War. Even if the Pan Long Army exhausted all its strength, casualties continued to expand.

Overall, the front line was steadily advancing toward Chen En Ya.

He Lingchuan secretly calculated time; if this continued, the enemy would reach the fortifications in no more than a few hours.

How should this be dealt with?

Even if they could hold out until the Red General arrived, even if the Pan Long Eastern and Southern armies fully united, the army's numbers still could not match those of the Between Between Between Beijia army, let alone the fact that the enemy's immortal-demon forces far outnumbered Pan Long's.

Gao Huai Yuan was very patient, not caring about occasional local setbacks; he only pursued final victory.

For Pan Long to survive this immediate crisis, they still needed to capture the bandit and the king, directly defeating the enemy's leader.

They needed a thorough, power-displaying victory to shatter Ling Xu Shen Zun's hope of scooping up the great square cauldron, rather than being slowly boiled like frogs in warm water by the enemy.

But to win, they first needed to clarify exactly what kind of major figure Ling Xu Shen Zun had sent down to the lower realm, so Pan Long could adjust corresponding tactics.

Wen Dao Lun said to He Lingchuan: "These heavenly demons descended are also very sly, hiding within the Between Between Between Beijia army, protecting themselves thoroughly. I suspect some heavenly demons have not yet been exposed."

"That's natural." He Lingchuan understood the nature of heavenly demons quite well: "They have great difficulty returning to the human world, not to suffer injury or die for it. Yuan Li is too unfavorable to them; if they could first use the Between Between Between Beijia army's power to severely damage Pan Long, why not? As for the great heavenly demons, they would not act lightly, mostly waiting to deliver us a fatal blow."

In reality, heavenly demons had conspired with Guan Biao to seize the great square cauldron, thus triggering the Battle of Jing Cheng. He Lingchuan discovered from within that at the outset, it was the yaobing of Jing Cheng who went out to fight, while the heavenly demons used them as cannon fodder, not moving themselves unless absolutely necessary; until the battle of Jing Cheng entered white-hot intensity, the heavenly demons acted, and the great heavenly demon used them as cannon fodder, not acting themselves unless absolutely necessary. Jia Lu Tian Ming was clearly present, but remained hidden throughout, only revealing his true form upon entering Guan Biao's void realm.

These heavenly demons were especially skilled at self-preservation, no wonder as survivors of the ancient war.

At this moment, the fortifications of Ming Sha Lin suddenly transmitted a tremor. This was different from an earthquake—it was not vertical or horizontal shaking, but a continuous vibration.

Xu Shichu, the president of Shu Min Academy, was also on site; he led the crowd to rush to the fortifications to determine the source of the tremor, and shortly afterward came to report: "Something beneath Ming Sha Lin is continuously drilling, attempting to penetrate the strata and breach the surface."

The ground beneath Ming Sha Lin is also solid rock, part of the mountain body of Chen En Ya.

"Drilling to the surface?" Everyone exchanged glances, all recalling the earlier strange Kui Beast that vanished underground—could it be that big fellow?

A staff member couldn't help but say: "The fortifications of Ming Sha Lin have an anti-escape formation; he should not be able to enter."

He Lingchuan shook his head: "No. The anti-escape formation only prohibits evasion techniques, but cannot prohibit this thing from genuinely drilling tunnels underground."
