Chapter 452: The Federation Era

The Poison Venerable was different from other Hao Yue Realm experts.

For such a master of poison, if one wasn't careful and let him escape, the destructive power he could cause would be extremely astonishing.

Rather than torturing him for a while longer, it was better to just kill him to be at ease.

"Fine, I'll listen to you."

Duan Ling nodded obediently, then treated the Poison Venerable like a piece of dough for sliced noodles and started slicing directly.

Amidst bursts of shrill screams, the Poison Venerable was sliced directly into a skeleton frame.

After solving the Poison Venerable, Ye Lin didn't drag his feet anymore and rushed toward the north with Student Zhuge Yi and Duan Ling.

Watching their departing backs, everyone in the capital breathed a sigh of relief.

They had finally sent this god of slaughter away.

Student Zhuge Yi stood with his hands behind his back, watching their departing backs, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

"Family Head, what should we do now? Student Zhuge Yi is by that Ye Lin's side, how are we supposed to get back the Eye of Eternity?"

The elders of the Student Zhuge family were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

"No need to rush."

Student Zhuge Yi lowered his eyes.

"Isn't he going to the front line to fight the Demon Clan? The Demon Clan is not so easy to deal with. Just send people to secretly watch the northern front line."

"If he, Ye Lin, is truly that valiant and can defeat the Demon Clan, then my Student Zhuge family will just give up on this idea."

"If he can't do it..."

Student Zhuge Yi turned his head and gave the many elders a look.

The elders of the Student Zhuge family instantly understood Student Zhuge Yi's meaning; they didn't say anything more but silently retreated to the side.

After the first Human-Demon War, the human race was defeated and lost many territories.

Since then, the human race could only live within cities.

And outside the cities, it became the world of the Demon Clan and demon monsters.

Since then, the human race and the Demon Clan ushered in a brief period of peace, until today, when the peace was finally broken again.

The Demon Clan launched a war against humanity again, and no single human kingdom could resist the iron hooves of the Demon Clan.

Within a day, thirteen kingdoms were destroyed.

Realizing something was wrong, the human race cast aside national differences and formed the Human Federation to fight the Demon Clan together.

Some human scholars proposed defining this day as the beginning of a new era, historically known as the Federation Era.

In the extreme north, the cold wind was biting.

Xianhecheng was the northernmost city of the human race.

Further north was an endless ice and snow wasteland, where almost no living people could be seen.

And at this moment on the ice and snow wasteland, the Demon Clan army had already fully pressed the border.

Two Demon Emperors, eighteen Demon Sovereigns, and over a hundred Demon Kings!

Along with the dense ordinary Demon Clan and demon monsters behind them, it gave Xianhecheng immense pressure.

The soaring demonic energy dyed the entire sky a strange deep purple.

Xianhecheng had already activated its city-protecting formation, with top-tier job changers in the city sitting in command together to resist the Demon Clan's attack.

But facing the terrifying bombardment of the Demon Clan's powerhouses, Xianhecheng's city-protecting formation clearly couldn't hold on for much longer.

"Have the reinforcements not arrived yet?"

Xianhecheng's City Lord, Brother Lu Xuehai, was full of worry. Although he was also a Level 97 Lie Yang Realm expert, facing such a terrifying army, he knew very well that he couldn't resist it at all.

Once the city-protecting formation broke, the fate awaiting Xianhecheng was to become food for the Demon Clan.

"We have already contacted the Human Emperor, and the Human Emperor said that reinforcements are already on the way and should arrive soon," the subordinate behind him reported.

"Have the civilians of Xianhecheng been evacuated?" Brother Lu Xuehai continued to ask.

"They have all been evacuated. Everyone remaining in Xianhecheng right now is a job changer with combat capability," the subordinate nodded and said.

"Mm, I hope the reinforcements arrive soon. If nothing goes wrong, the people coming to the northern battlefield should be from the Ye family. Once they arrive, we should be able to resist the Demon Clan army before us."

There was a sliver of worry in Brother Lu Xuehai's eyes.

The city-protecting formation before them was already tottering.

It could only hold on for about one more day at most.

If the Ye family people didn't rush over, Xianhecheng would inevitably flow with blood.

For top-tier powerhouses, one day was completely enough to rush here from the capital.

Just when Brother Lu Xuehai thought the city-protecting formation would definitely hold, a young girl with bare jade feet floated up from the Demon Clan's army.

Brother Lu Xuehai widened his eyes, his eyes full of shock.

Because this girl was clearly a human!

The girl opened her arms, and a melodious, ethereal singing voice rang out.

Like resentment, like longing, like weeping, like complaining; after listening for a long time, it made one feel drowsy.

Even Brother Lu Xuehai couldn't help but doze off.

"Not good!"

Brother Lu Xuehai woke up instantly; this singing voice clearly had a problem!

Looking closely, he discovered that many job changers maintaining the city-protecting formation had already fallen asleep under that singing voice.

Without the urging of so many job changers, the city-protecting formation soon couldn't block the Demon Clan's bombardment anymore and appeared with cracks.

"You are... the Soul-Sacrificing Girl!"

Brother Lu Xuehai recognized the identity of the girl before him. In his memory, only the Soul-Sacrificing Girl would have such eerie attack methods.

"As a human, you actually defected to the Demon Clan. You traitor! You deserve to die!"

Brother Lu Xuehai was furious, drew his long saber, and slashed toward the Soul-Sacrificing Girl.

The sharp saber light cut through the sky, splitting the thick demonic energy, and headed straight for the Soul-Sacrificing Girl.

Before that saber light even approached the Soul-Sacrificing Girl's side, it was disintegrated bit by bit by that melodious singing voice.

The Soul-Sacrificing Girl's strength was clearly above Brother Lu Xuehai's.

"Since ancient times, those who know the times are heroes. The Demon Clan is much stronger than the human race, so what's wrong with defecting to the Demon Clan? You opposing the Demon Clan is just seeking your own death."

The Soul-Sacrificing Girl's eyes were full of coldness.

"You really know how to find high-sounding excuses for yourself! It's my first time seeing someone make bullying the weak and fearing the strong sound so good!"

Brother Lu Xuehai gritted his teeth. At the same time, with a cracking sound, Brother Lu Xuehai's heart also sank to the bottom.

The city-protecting formation was about to break!

This Soul-Sacrificing Girl's methods were truly too eerie; she could actually bypass the city-protecting formation and directly affect the job changers in the city.

No wonder, no wonder other kingdoms almost didn't form any effective resistance when facing the Demon Clan and were completely wiped out.

"Prepare for a bloody battle!"

Brother Lu Xuehai gripped his long saber, his eyes already filled with a determination to die.

He knew that with Xianhecheng's current personnel configuration, they were definitely not the opponent of the Demon Clan army before them.

However, some battles, even if you know you can't win, you must fight!

Boom!

As soon as Brother Lu Xuehai finished speaking, Xianhecheng's city-protecting formation shattered instantly.

At the same time, a long spear emitting a terrifying aura broke through the air, directly blasting a large hole in Xianhecheng's wall.

From this point on, Xianhecheng no longer had any means to block the Demon Clan and could only rely on the bodies of job changers to block them.

Watching the Demon Clan army advancing toward Xianhecheng, Brother Lu Xuehai took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? Is that Ah Zhen? It's Ah Hai. Actually... I've liked you for a long time, I just never had the courage to tell you."

"I am a cowardly person, I'm sorry. If there is a next life, even if I get rejected by you, I will definitely say those words, 'I like you,' when I am seventeen or eighteen and full of youth!"

"Ah? You're not Ah Zhen? You're her husband Ah Qiang? It's fine, that doesn't matter. Anyway, the emotion is just that emotion. Help me pass this on to your wife, tell her I love her, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, there were no more worries in Brother Lu Xuehai's eyes. He held his long saber high and let out an extremely angry roar.

"As long as the city stands, we live! As long as we have a single breath left, we must never let these Demon Clan members step half a step into Xianhecheng!"

"Follow me, kill!!!"
