Chapter 212

Liangzhou, Eastern Border.

Outside the Great Wall where black stones span, the scenery of heaven and earth is in full view.

The gray clouds are gloomy, and there is no wind on the grassland.

Inside the Great Wall is a vast border defense line, where patrol teams wearing light armor patrol back and forth.

In the military camp, Li Tiangang holds a military report; this is the situation in various parts of Liangzhou that has been scouted recently.

In the north, there was a demon attack half a year ago, but he sent a secret letter to the Xia family, asking the Xia family to send border defense troops to assist, which forced the demons back.

The Xia family originally did not want to cross the border; after all, this is the Li family's business, and although the relationship between the Xia family and the Li family is okay, sending troops across the border to assist was still somewhat reluctant, unless it was a huge disaster that shook all the cities.

But Li Tiangang stated in the letter that it was very likely a probe by the demons; if the Xia family did not take action and just watched from the sidelines, the demons outside Liangzhou would take the north as a breakthrough point and turn that place into the biggest battlefield.

At that time, the battlefield would inevitably affect the Xia family's Jizhou, which would instead cause the Xia family to suffer heavier losses.

For this reason, he took out a portion of the military intelligence of Liangzhou to inform them; the strict defense of the east and west borders of Liangzhou, as well as the news that there is a Four Standing Realm expert stationed at Tianmen Pass in the south, finally made the Xia family realize that this fire might burn themselves, so they joined forces with the Liangzhou military department in the north to drive those demons away.

Since then, the north has indeed been as Li Tiangang said, with no more traces of demons revealed.

The Xia family also witnessed the military decision-making of this contemporary True Dragon of the Li family; no wonder he could fight with demons for more than ten years in Yanbei with such a disadvantage and finally win.

"The demons on the Fifth Brother's side haven't shown up for a long time; these demons pretended to make a feint and retreated, but unfortunately, the demon tide on the Liuzhou side has been slow to retreat and hasn't attacked either; the feint is too obvious!"

"That side is the containment!"

"The true killing move of these demons is not Liuzhou, but Liangzhou, or Youzhou!"

Li Tiangang's eyes were cold; he had been stationed in Liangzhou for nearly a year. Since he first arrived and forced the demons invading the eastern border back, these demons had not dared to launch large-scale attacks again, only occasionally harassing.

His gaze overlooked the panoramic view of Liangzhou, but besides Liangzhou, he also gained insight into other states; from the intelligence sent from other states, he judged the true intentions of these demons.

This is also the reason why he has stayed here for a long time, although there has been no war, he has not left.

He has already seen through the intentions of the demons.

"Cangya City reconstruction..."

Li Tiangang looked at the news scouted in the intelligence, but his face was somewhat gloomy.

In the south at Tianmen Pass, Li Hao is stationed there, and he naturally pays more attention to it, but the news that came one after another made him unable to be happy.

Ever since Li Muxiu and the Heavenly Mystery Tower Master Lu Chunsheng came forward to assist Li Hao in repelling the three old Demon Kings, including the Wanshan Demon King, who had been entrenched outside the pass for many years, Tianmen Pass ushered in a peace not seen for many years.

In this peace, the city that had once been beaten until it was damaged to the point of only having a small mound left was also rebuilt.

This was originally a good thing, and also a happy event.

Li Tiangang could understand.

But if it were just building a city, that would be fine; being able to build a magic array can also be considered as re-establishing a defense line.

But after building the city, people from all states were allowed to go there at will, the city gates were wide open, there was no intention of blocking it at all, and even many people moved there, and merchants settled down, etc., seemingly developing that border pass like an inland city.

From the current point of view, Cangya City is extremely prosperous and bustling, like a big city deep within the territory.

But this is not inland after all, but the border!

There will be demon invasions at any time!

Especially combined with the current crisis in Liangzhou, if the demons attack Tianmen Pass, it will be another bloody battle, and at that time, there will inevitably be countless casualties! "With a little achievement, he has become arrogant."

"Hongzhuang is the same, she didn't even stop this; the child doesn't know any better, doesn't she understand either? Having been stationed at the border for so many years, she can't even see through the false prosperity!"

Li Tiangang's face was gloomy; everyone who approached that child seemed to dote on him extremely, letting him do whatever he wanted.

The Second Uncle is like this, the Fifth Uncle is like this, the Sister-in-law is like this, and now, even the little sister who has been galloping on the battlefield and stationed at the border for many years is like this! Just because that child's talent is peerless?

He admits that Li Hao's talent is extremely high, far exceeding his own, but precisely because of this, he cannot be indulged! Combined with the various behaviors Li Hao has shown, he only hates himself for managing it too late, too late.

That battle in Yanbei lasted too long, too long, making him unable to return to the mansion in time; it is the biggest regret in his heart during these days.

"Bring paper and pen."

Li Tiangang ordered; he wanted to write a military order to let Li Hongzhuang at Tianmen Pass disperse the people in the city.

As a border city, it only needs a small amount of population to circulate supplies; gathering so many ordinary people is simply harming them.

Hearing this, Li Fu was about to turn around to get paper and pen immediately, but just at this moment, suddenly a roar came from the distant border:

"Li Tiangang, come out and die!!"

The terrifying sound waves, separated by a long distance, actually blew the curtains of this military tent until they shook.

Li Fu, who had just stepped out of the tent, had his face change suddenly; he was somewhat shocked and angry, his soul rushed out from behind him, leaped into the air, and looked toward the distant border.

Only to see a tiny black dot standing with hands behind his back, standing in mid-air, wearing a luxurious gilded battle robe, with cold eyes.

Li Fu's face changed slightly; separated by a long distance, he could feel the terrifying pressure like an abyss and the sea on the other party, which made people tremble.

With his experience of fighting alongside Li Tiangang for many years, he saw at a glance that it was a Demon King! Before Li Fu could turn around to report, such a big movement had already alarmed all the border military camps nearby.

Hearing this roar, Li Tiangang narrowed his eyes; these animals, have they finally failed to hold back? His body stepped out, walked out of the military camp, and rushed straight toward the sky.

Looking at each other from afar, outside the border defense line, the Demon King in the gilded luxurious battle robe looked at him with four eyes.

"It's good that you are still here!"

Seeing Li Tiangang, Feng Shanjun felt a sense of relief; he was full of anger, having held it in for so many days, and finally found a target to vent it on.

That damn brat actually wasted one of his lives!

There is only one chance to reverse fate, and it was actually used up like this; this is equivalent to a blood feud! "Die!!"

Feng Shanjun roared, summoned a red flame long spear in his hand, and rushed over suddenly.

Inside the defense line, everyone was shocked.

This is the first time a Demon King has attacked a city, calling for a battle alone; it is simply rampant! "Set up the magic array!"

Li Tiangang's eyes were cold, but he did not have the slightest panic, but roared suddenly.

His loud shout spread throughout the field, immediately stabilizing the previously shaken military morale.

Feng Shanjun's long spear carried divine light of flame, and just as it rushed to the border, it triggered the magic array.

The magic array sprayed out like thousands of golden clouds, condensing into a protective shield, covering and shrouding this defense line within it.

On it, streaks of golden magic patterns flowed, containing the mysterious Dao rhyme power of stars and heaven and earth.

Feng Shanjun's attack was blocked by the magic array, but it shook the magic array until it trembled; his eyes were filled with red flames, and he attacked one after another, the long spear continuously bombarding the magic array, causing the magic array to ripple with golden light scattering in all directions.

At this time, in the military camp within the defense line, the army had already gathered quickly, with extremely high efficiency.

The first to form a formation was the Li family's strongest military camp, the Yuan Battalion! A full ten thousand Yuan Battalion soldiers communicated with the magic array and injected their own power into the magic array.

Borrowing this Six-Phase Star Magic Array, with ten thousand Yuan Battalion soldiers presiding, they could withstand the Demon King's attack for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!

"Yu Xuan, hurry, go notify other battalions to enter a state of full combat readiness; the demon army will come at any time!"

Li Tiangang quickly ordered Yu Xuan beside him.

Yu Xuan was slightly startled and immediately realized that this Demon King risked being wanted to come and call for battle, mostly wanting to attract firepower.

And there was no demon tide outside the pass, which shows that the rest of the demon army might have rushed to other places of the defense line.

He immediately took the order and left.

Bursts of horns soon sounded from within the defense line, spreading one after another; in the blink of an eye, the entire defense line was filled with the sound of ancient horns like those made by wild elephants.

All the military camps within the defense line, hearing this horn of preparation, all tightened up, quickly putting on armor and taking weapons, entering their respective positions, ready for battle at any time.

And at the furthest end above and below the defense line, at the edge of the sky outside the territory, the ground shook, and black shadows rolled over, like a black mudslide, carrying earth-shattering momentum.

Seeing that a demon tide had indeed arrived, the distant defense line immediately released battlefield signals.

Streaks of beacon fire rushed straight into the sky, carrying sharp whistling sounds like bird calls.

And these beacon fires were also seen by soldiers on other defense lines, which were extremely eye-catching.

Li Tiangang also noticed it; his deduction was indeed correct.

"Kill!"

Li Tiangang's eyes turned cold; looking at the Demon King who was constantly destroying the magic array alone in front of him, he stepped out suddenly, borrowed the power of the magic array, and summoned the demon souls sealed in the magic array!

But he did not release all the power of the magic array here; after all, the subsequent demon attack still needed the power of the magic array.

He only summoned one demon soul and integrated this demon soul into his body.

He raised his hand and summoned; from the military camp tent, a brilliant divine saber flew out, and at the same time, pieces of battle armor that had long been removed flew out one after another and were worn on his body.

Shoulder armor, cloak, heart-protecting mirror, wrist guards, knee pads, battle boots, etc.

In the blink of an eye, the battle armor was all worn neatly; he held the divine saber, and the intense divine power covered and burned on the divine saber.

"Die for me!!"

Li Tiangang stepped out, like a domineering and fierce god of war, rushed out of the magic array, and went to kill the Demon King.

"A mere Three Imperishable, and you dare to seek death!"

"Just like your damn animal son, all die for me!!"

Feng Shanjun saw Li Tiangang actually take the initiative to leave the formation and couldn't help but laugh, but his face became hateful and ferocious.

The long spear swept out suddenly, carrying intense flames, burning the air until it was scorching and distorted.

Combined with Dao rhyme, his attack would never miss.

Facing this Phoenix Flame long spear, the demon soul covered on Li Tiangang exploded with a sharp cry, the divine power on the blade was brilliant, and he slashed violently.

The blade light was like a golden long river, splitting heaven and earth, cutting the Phoenix Flame.

But after the Phoenix Flame shattered, it turned into a sea of fire, suddenly surrounding Li Tiangang's body.

The intense high temperature made the golden magic patterns on the magic array flicker and distort continuously, and the energy was consumed rapidly.

Feng Shanjun suddenly raised his hand, issued a phoenix cry, his body rushed out rapidly like a spiral, broke through the sea of fire, and stabbed at Li Tiangang's chest with a spear.

With a bang, Li Tiangang's body was forced back, hitting the magic array heavily.

But afterward, Li Tiangang's body rushed out again; the demon soul on his body sank and integrated into his body; his aura increased slightly, and he stepped forward and slashed one after another.

"You also want to learn from your son, to kill a Demon King with Three Imperishable cultivation?!"

"Not enough! Not enough! Not enough!!"

Feng Shanjun's eyes were filled with captivating light, and he roared: "Compared to your son, you are still far behind!!"

"Bastard animal, seeking death!!"

Li Tiangang opened his eyes wide in anger, suddenly slashed out an earth-shattering saber move, power vented, and the blade light was like a rainbow.

Feng Shanjun's body retreated, avoiding the blade light; seeing Li Tiangang chasing and killing him, a sneer appeared in the depths of his eyes, and the long spear swung suddenly, shattering the second divine power saber move Li Tiangang slashed out.

"You should die!"

Behind Feng Shanjun, a pair of fire wings formed by True Phoenix flames suddenly appeared, and then his body stopped suddenly and rushed to kill Li Tiangang.

He replaced the air in front of Li Tiangang with his attack, and his body arrived instantly as if teleporting! The long spear swept horizontally, stabbing down from the top, striking directly at Li Tiangang's head.
