Chapter 452: Federal Era

The Poison Venerable was different from other Haoyue Realm experts.

For this kind of poison expert, 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 kill him directly for peace of mind.

"Fine, I'll listen to you."

Duan Ling nodded obediently, then treated the Poison Venerable like a dough for sliced noodles and started cutting.

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

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

Watching their departing backs, the people in the Capital all breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Finally, this god of slaughter had been sent away.

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

"Family Head, what should we do now? Student Zhuge Yi is following that Ye Lin, how can we take back the Eye of Eternity?"

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

"No need to be anxious."

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 someone to secretly keep an eye on the northern front line."

"If he, Ye Lin, is really 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 Clan was defeated and lost many territories.

Since then, the Human Clan could only live in cities.

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

Since then, a short period of peace arrived between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan, until today, when 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 countries were annihilated.

Realizing something was wrong, the Human Clan put aside national differences and formed the Human Federation to jointly resist the Demon Clan.

Some human scholars proposed defining this day as the beginning of a new era, known in history as the Federal Era.

In the Far North, the cold wind was biting.

Xianhe City was the northernmost city of the Human Clan.

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

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

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

Along with the dense ordinary Demon Clan members and demon beasts behind them, it gave Xianhe City immense pressure.

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

Xianhe City had already activated its city-protecting formation, with top-tier job changers in the city sitting in command, resisting the Demon Clan's attack.

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

"Has the reinforcement not arrived yet?"

Xianhe City's City Lord, Lu Lu Xuehai, had a face full of worry. Although he was also a level 97 Lieyang Realm expert, facing such a terrifying army, he knew very well that he couldn't resist it at all.

As soon as the city-protecting formation broke, what awaited Xianhe City was the fate of becoming food for the Demon Clan.

"We have already contacted Lord Human Emperor. Lord Human Emperor said that the reinforcements are already on their way and should arrive immediately," his subordinate reported.

"Have the civilians of Xianhe City been evacuated?" Lu Lu Xuehai continued to ask.

"They have all been evacuated. Everyone remaining in Xianhe City now is a job changer with combat power," the subordinate nodded and said.

"Mm, I hope the reinforcements arrive quickly. If there are no accidents, the ones coming to the northern battlefield should be the people from the Ye family. Once they arrive, they should be able to resist the Demon Clan army before us."

Lu Lu Xuehai's eyes held a hint of worry.

The city-protecting formation before them was already tottering.

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

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

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

Just when Lu 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.

Lu 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 and longing, like weeping and complaining; after listening for a long time, it made people feel a sense of deep drowsiness.

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

"Not good!"

Lu 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 into a deep sleep 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 Maiden!"

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

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

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

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

That saber light hadn't even approached the Soul-Sacrificing Maiden's side before it was disintegrated bit by bit by that melodious singing voice.

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

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

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

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

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

The city-protecting formation was about to break!

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

No wonder, no wonder other countries almost didn't form any effective resistance when facing the Demon Clan before being completely annihilated.

"Prepare for a bloody battle!"

Lu Lu Xuehai held his long saber, his eyes already filled with the will to die.

He knew that with Xianhe City'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, must be fought!

Boom!

Just as Lu Lu Xuehai finished speaking, Xianhe City's city-protecting formation exploded instantly.

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

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

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

"Hello? Is that Ah Zhen? It's me, Ah Hai. Actually... I have liked you for a long time, but I 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 tell you that sentence, 'I like you,' when I am seventeen or eighteen and full of youth!"

"Ah? You aren't Ah Zhen? You are her husband, Ah Qiang? It's fine, that doesn't matter. Anyway, the emotion is just that emotion. Please help me tell your wife, tell her I love her. Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, there was no longer any attachment in Lu Lu Xuehai's eyes. He held his long saber high and let out an incomparably angry roar.

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

"Follow me, kill!!!" ===== CHAPTER 453 =====
