Chapter 454: Canyon 3

Whether it was the vampire formation or the flying Demon Beasts in hot pursuit, their flight speed was extremely fast; in almost a few seconds, they had flown to within four hundred meters of the Luolong County Army.

"Tat! Tat! Tat!" On the ground, Zhang Shagen and the other Salvation Army soldiers raised one thousand AK47s and opened fire at the sky almost simultaneously. A dense barrage of bullets struck the incoming flying Demon Beasts head-on; dozens of flying Demon Beasts were torn to pieces on the spot and fell down.

"Gale, strike!" The leader of the flying Demon Beasts was a Fifth Grade Lower Tier Vulture Clan Demon Beast. It flapped a pair of wings over thirty meters long, whipping up a series of tornadoes that blew away the 7.62mm bullets approaching its vicinity.

Even the PF98 120mm Rocket could not pass through those tornadoes. This was the power of a Fifth Grade expert; it was no longer something that light weapons like these AK47 Assault Rifles and PF98 120mm Rockets could contend with.

"Do not be rampant, I have come to slay you." Meng Shuangdao shouted, stepped on the void, and shot into the sky. He was still using two long blades; his left hand gripped a white long blade emitting scorching flames—this was a high-grade offensive Dharma Treasure—and his right hand gripped a long blade with a hideous ghost head at the hilt. This was Meng Yifan's Ghost Head Blade, temporarily lent to Meng Shuangdao for use.

"Swish! Swish!" The two long blades, one fast and one slow, one yin and one yang, one black and one white, one cold and one hot—two completely different blade lights enveloped the Vulture Clan leader.

"A mere Zombie dares to be presumptuous!" The Vulture Clan leader roared. With a wave of its wings, a gale howled, actually blowing Meng Shuangdao back over one hundred meters. Then, the Vulture leader shook its wings, and feathers shot out like flying swords, whistling through the air as they slashed toward Meng Shuangdao.

"Well come!" Meng Shuangdao was not afraid in the slightest. The two long blades flipped up and down, dancing so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through, batting away all the feather flying swords that approached him.

Meng Shuangdao and the Vulture Clan leader fought one-on-one in the sky. The other flying Demon Beasts lost their command; some flying Demon Beasts wanted to put distance between themselves and the Luolong County Army on the ground, while others wanted to continue charging forward. The entire scene became very chaotic.

Zhang Shagen and the other Salvation Army soldiers seized this opportunity and one after another shouldered their PF98 120mm Rockets, unleashing a volley at the flying Demon Beasts in the sky.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" One thousand rockets exploded in unison. The dense shrapnel enveloped the vast majority of the flying Demon Beasts, and many were blown directly into fragments.

By the time the rocket explosions ended, only a few dozen of the flying Demon Beasts that had originally blotted out the sky remained, and almost all of them were wounded, bleeding incessantly.

Seeing this scene, the Vulture Clan Demon Beast was so angry that smoke came out of its nose. Many of the flying Demon Beasts that had sortied this time were its own kin, some even its nephews and nieces. Now, many of its relatives had been blown to death by that wave of rocket explosions, which made its heart ache as if pierced by knives. It hurriedly ordered: "Retreat! Quickly retreat!"

"Fighting me, yet you dare to be distracted? You are truly courting death." Meng Shuangdao seized the chance to charge forward. His right-hand Ghost Head Blade shook, and the sound of Ghost Crying Wolf Howling was unleashed abruptly.

The Vulture Clan Demon Beast leader had been heartbroken over the heavy casualties of its own kin, leading to a distracted mind. Upon hearing the sound of Ghost Crying Wolf Howling, it became even more soul-distracted and stunned for a moment. Then, it suddenly sobered up, realized things were bad, and hurriedly tried to flap its wings to protect the vital parts of its body, but it was already too late.

Meng Shuangdao grasped this fleeting moment, his body following his blade, and rushed to the side of the Vulture Clan leader. The Ghost Head Blade slashed fiercely, disemboweling the Vulture Clan leader, and the white long blade followed closely behind, severing the Vulture Clan leader's head with a single strike.

The Vulture Clan leader's Divine Soul drilled out from its head and turned to run. As long as it could run back to the mountaintop, it would be safe and still have the possibility of seizing a body to cultivate again.

"Haha, where are you going!" The Ghost Head Blade in Meng Shuangdao's hand slashed down fiercely, directly chopping the Vulture Clan leader's Divine Soul into several pieces. Then, the Ghost Head Blade, like a night cat that had smelled fish, suddenly released a suction force, pulling the Vulture Clan leader's soul into the Ghost Head Blade to be divided and devoured by Zhang Butou and the other ghost soldiers and generals.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host's subordinate for slaying a Fifth Grade Lower Tier Vulture Demon Beast; obtained 2000 Experience Value." On the Game Panel, the sound of Experience Value being credited rang out once again.

Meng Yifan checked the Game Panel. That previous round of rocket volleys had blown up over three hundred flying Demon Beasts of Third Grade or higher, harvesting a total of over three thousand Experience Value. In just this short while, over five thousand Experience Value had been credited, which made Meng Yifan's heart bloom with joy.

If he kept fighting like this, it wouldn't be long before Meng Yifan could gather enough Experience Value to advance to Sixth Grade Peak. He had already obtained the Yin-type Spirit Treasure from the Susanoo Statue; once he found the Yang-type Spiritual Treasure, the Wind, and the Thunder-type Spirit Treasures, he could evolve the Nine Systems World and find a way to advance to Seventh Grade.

After the Vulture Clan leader was killed, Kong Sanqiang and the other vampires flew over, holding their AK47 Assault Rifles, and opened fierce fire on the remaining thirty or forty flying Demon Beasts, quickly wiping them all out.

Just now, the Giant Stone Bear Race leader on the mountaintop had seen the Vulture Clan leader in danger and wanted to rush up to rescue it, but the moment it moved, it discovered that four strands of Divine Soul sense from Fifth Grade experts had locked onto its position. This made it tremble with fear, knowing that even if it rushed up, it would just be throwing its life away in vain.

"This battle cannot be fought." The Giant Stone Bear Race leader prepared to retreat. The humans had already discovered them, and there was no point in continuing to ambush from the mountaintop.

Most importantly, the humans had too many experts and their weapons were too sharp; they could even curve, striking directly at the Demon Race ambushing behind the mountaintop. Staying on the mountaintop would only result in being bombed in vain; it would be better to retreat first and discuss a strategy to break the enemy with the Old Dragon King.

"Retreat!" At the Giant Stone Bear Race leader's command, the Demon Race army on the mountaintop scattered and ran backward.

"The Demon Race is going to run! Extend the impact point forward by five hundred meters, keep bombing!" Kong Sanqiang flew in the sky, continuing to act as an observer for the Salvation Army on the ground.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Another volley was fired. The shells chased the Demon Race, bombing them, and over one hundred more Demon Race were blown to death. The Demon Race army on the mountaintop was bombed until they were trembling with fear, all of them running forward for their lives. As long as they ran down the slope and to the other side of the mountain, they would be safe.

Some Demon Race who were wounded by the explosions lay on the ground wailing for help, but these former kin only thought about running quickly and did not stop to provide aid at all. Some Demon Race even stepped directly onto the bodies of their wounded companions; after being stepped on by many Demon Beasts, the wounded companions were directly trampled into meat patties.
