Chapter 2813
First, after He Lingchuan killed Bai Zhan Tian, he himself was likely spent, with no strength left to face the next great heavenly demon in a war of attrition. Moreover, looking across the entire battlefield, Panlong had no second strongman capable of opposing a great heavenly demon.
This was not due to Panlong lacking people, but the result of a thousand years of dwindling spiritual energy in the mortal realm. Aside from a few true immortals of Ling Mountain and the Red General who already obtained Mitian Yi's robe and bowl, who else could match a great heavenly demon head-on?
Secondly, and crucially, only Zhong Shengguang and He Lingchuan knew that Panlong's yuanqi had been exhausted!
What to do? Both felt a heavy weight in their hearts.
If the war continued at this intensity, it wouldn't be long before Panlong's soldiers had no yuanqi left to use!
On this battlefield, once an army runs out of yuanqi, defeat is essentially declared.
He Lingchuan had personally experienced this—back then, Zan Li used the Green Intent Bottle Water to drown Zhao Pan's army, draining his own troops' yuanqi completely, resulting in soldiers fighting like soft-shell crabs, unable to muster strength in their limbs.
That was merely happening on a third-rate battlefield, where Zhao Pan's army wasn't even particularly strong.
But today, in Mingsha Forest, Panlong's opponent is the Between Between Between Beijia army! Between Between Between Beijia's yuanqi is indeed rapidly weakening, but the Great Pan remains, and withstanding Panlong's army is still no problem.
The only plan now…… Zhong Shengguang made a swift decision, turning to shout: "Reopen the seven routes, full-line counterattack! While the enemy's morale is greatly diminished, we will directly crush their army!"
He immediately urgently dispatched several immortals and great generals: "Hu Ying is wounded, you go quickly to assist."
He is also a veteran battlefield commander, his grasp of battle opportunities vicious and precise. Regardless of whatever tricks Between Between Between Beijia and the heavenly demons may still have, but at this moment, right now, General Hu Ying's beheading of Bai Zhan Tian is a tremendous boon—it is Panlong army's best chance to suppress the enemy and turn the tide against the wind, unique and unparalleled!
Therefore, the time for a full-line counterattack has come!
Panlong army had originally contracted its formation, only engaging Between Between Between Beijia head-on in the central route; Zhong Shengguang gave the order, his troops sounded drums and advanced, reforming into seven routes, surging forward with mighty momentum toward the enemy army.
Whether they can successfully counter-push depends on this wave.
At this time, the Between Between Between Beijia army was filled with confusion. The collapse of belief left many unable to even raise their weapons, and when Panlong army charged, they naturally retreated. Gao Huaiyuan and various department leaders' efforts to urge and inspire were useless.
At this time, many Between Between Between Beijia people recalled that General Hu Ying had repeatedly declared to them that Lingxu City had already broken with the heavenly gods, and the several vassal demon states were in internal chaos, attacking each other.
Perhaps at the time few Between Between Between Beijia soldiers truly believed it, but General Hu Ying had already proven himself capable of slaying Bai Zhan Tian—such a figure, would he speak nonsense?
People, after all, are always willing to believe the strong.
Moreover, Hu Ying said: The heavenly gods also tried to assassinate your demon emperor, only they failed.
Then they asked themselves, in the Mingsha Forest battlefield, fighting to the death, shedding blood and sweat—exactly for whom?
For the Between Between Between Beijia Empire, or for the heavenly gods?
Previously they could fight for both simultaneously, but if Lingxu City and the heavenly gods are now opposed, how should they position themselves?
If the emperor truly has deemed General Gao Huaiyuan's defiance of orders as treason, then what is their attack on Panlong?
For soldiers, they can fight for country and for heavenly gods, they can fight for dignity, but they cannot fight for treasonous conduct.
Zhong Shengguang also reported via the ear-worm to He Lingchuan: "I just received the latest intelligence from Jielie Tian—your opponent is also a great heavenly demon, called Pili Tian."
Pili Tian! He Lingchuan's eye twitched. The Lingxu Holy Venerable sent down from the realm—indeed, not one of them is a good sort.
Pili Tian's gaze had remained firmly locked on him, and now it shifted downward to General Hu Ying's feet. Blood had stained the ground, gathering into a thin trickle.
He had just charged into the dark heavenly canopy, seeing this person deliver the final blow to Bai Zhan Tian, but he himself was also seriously injured—
That was Bai Zhan Tian's final backlash before death, its power imaginable.
Pili Tian personally saw that General Hu Ying's right waist and abdomen were sliced open, the wound large enough to insert a rod.
After the dark heavenly canopy vanished, that suit of black armor quickly regrew and covered the wound, but Pili Tian believed the wound could absolutely not heal that quickly.
That was Bai Zhan Tian's gift to him, and he would make good use of it.
Having fought two great heavenly demons in succession, this brat has no chance of survival.
At this moment He Lingchuan also felt severe waist and abdominal pain, bleeding accelerating. Even with true qi and yuanqi protecting him, he still felt waves of darkness before his eyes.
Bai Zhan Tian's annihilation divine power—until he himself turned to ash and smoke, it had not faded. That very "Ji Mie Slash" truly infused all his insights, anger, and hatred. Given He Lingchuan's current strained yuanqi, he could not quickly expel it.
But He Lingchuan also had no chance to slowly take medicine to stop bleeding and bandage himself, for Pili Tian opposite him had their qi mechanisms tightly locked. He Lingchuan knew that if he made any extra movement, the opponent would strike immediately.
And just at this critical moment, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shuddered!
Everyone jumped in fright, followed by continuous, unceasing tremors.
Behind him, the Mingsha Forest stockade wall emitted a sharp "ka bang" sound, like a biscuit being snapped, but amplified thousands of times.
The thick wall was directly shaken open into a large gap, from bottom to top!
Chen Enya's front mountain cliff also collapsed alongside, huge stones rumbling down the valley—fortunately, no one stood on the cliff.
This impact's intensity was unprecedented in history, as if the Panlong world were a winnowing basket, seized in hand and shaken violently.
The ground of the Mingsha Forest battlefield was plowed by irresistible force into intersecting deep gullies, while some sections rapidly rose, forming new hills within just a dozen or so breaths!
The entire landscape was being rapidly transformed.
Only He Lingchuan on site knew the truth:
This was merely the chaos desperately colliding with the Panlong Secret Realm, its aftershocks transmitted here.
But the chaos's collision was also exerted with full force, again and again, over and over, filled with ferocity.
Such a violent earthquake lasted about sixty breaths, and on the Mingsha Forest stockade wall, two soldiers lost their footing, one slipping and falling from the walltop.
At this time, He Lingchuan distractedly looked up to the sky.
After he had just opened the dark heavenly canopy, Emperor Liujiang had already ceased, returning to clear blue skies; after enduring this series of earthquakes, He Lingchuan actually saw another scene in the night curtain.
He again saw the southern great gate of the Panlong Secret Realm!
Gazing up at his own secret realm from the Panlong world, this was not the first time. But unlike those previous times of clairvoyance, now the Panlong Secret Realm, like the Mingsha Forest stockade wall, had also encountered a violent assault!
