Chapter 223
Liangzhou, Western Border.
The flames of war burned, the red land stretching for a thousand miles.
The Black Stone Great Wall originally built here had now been destroyed, blood staining the city bricks, broken walls and ruins everywhere.
On the ground, there were scattered corpses everywhere, demons and human soldiers mixed together; some corpses were cut at the waist, arms broken, but they still bit the demon's flesh and skin tightly with their teeth.
Some demons were covered in holes, but on the sharp teeth in their mouths, several corpses were hanging, as if they were biting even before they died.
Both sides were fighting with all their might; ferocity and bloodiness were vividly embodied on this battlefield concerning billions of lives.
There were broken weapons, shattered battle armor, and severed limbs everywhere, but this battlefield had already fallen silent.
The human race had retreated, and the demons had followed; only occasionally were there wild scattered demons following behind the demonic tide to pick up scraps, sneaking to this battlefield where the flames of war had subsided, looking for fresh corpses as food.
Just see an ape-like demon climbing onto the broken city wall; here, battle flags hung down like rags, and it picked up the broken flagpole, shaking it hard twice.
The flag fluttered in the wind, the "Xuan" character twisting in the fluttering flag, but soon fell down lifelessly again.
The small ape demon squeaked and laughed strangely twice, feeling it was interesting, and shook it hard a few more times.
The fluttering battle flag rolled over...
A grand pursuit battle thus kicked off!
The battlefield was five thousand miles outside the Western Border.
On the vast plain, the massive demonic tide surged, like black soil overturned on the horizon, climbing mountains when encountering mountains, stepping on water when encountering water, sweeping and pursuing all the way.
In front, thousands of troops and horses galloped, but they were charging toward the city ahead.
Along the way, beacon signals kept rising into the sky, transmitting intelligence.
In the city defense line ahead of them, a large army rushed out to welcome them, or to be precise, to die and cover their retreat.
"Quick, faster!!"
Li Xuanli was covered in blood; although he took medicine and barely stabilized his injuries, his body was already extremely exhausted.
However, he knew he couldn't fall; at this moment, his entire body's Qi and blood surged, supported entirely by a mouthful of angry blood.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Behind them, the demonic tide was already at the end of their sight, about to catch up.
In the crowd, a signal suddenly rose into the sky; a general of the Li Clan's concubine line turned his head to look at the demonic tide behind him, suddenly pulling the horse reins, his body slowing down.
He roared and ordered his battle camp to stop, staying behind to block and buy time for Li Xuanli.
Li Xuanli was the commander-in-chief and absolutely could not fall here, otherwise the defense line behind would collapse even more.
Moreover, Li Xuanli was also of the previous generation of the Li Clan's direct line; of the nine sons of that generation, only three remained, how could he fall again?
He thought of the words his mother taught him since childhood: the direct line is noble, and the concubine line must be respectful and avoid the direct line when they see them.
The Li Clan could have this thousand-year glory all because of the support of the direct line.
He was unconvinced when he was young, thinking he was extraordinary, and also wanted to compete with the sun and moon for brilliance.
But in middle age, witnessing the funeral of the six sons of the Li Clan's direct line, and seeing the direct line charging at the very front in every war.
He finally understood that what the direct line and the concubine line lacked was not just their background, but also the responsibility on their shoulders.
Now, having served as a general under Li Xuanli for many years, he had long been convinced by this direct-line general.
Just like what his mother said, the direct line is noble, and the concubine line's life is cheap.
His mother might have been afraid that he was young and ignorant, clashing with the direct line, so she taught him repeatedly.
But these words were deeply rooted in the bottom of his heart, becoming an indelible brand forever.
Looking at the demonic tide sweeping in from the front, a smile appeared on the face of this concubine-line general.
"Even my mother said my life is cheap, so what if I am buried with you demon beasts?"
"Come on!!"
He raised the long halberd in his hand, let out a roar, and led his battle camp to charge against the current.
Li Xuanli also saw the beacon signal, turned his head to look at the gradually distant figure on the horse's back; that was a brother who had once shared life and death with him.
They had once drank and laughed together in the military camp, and there was no gap between direct and concubine lines between them at all.
He had also said that he would watch the other person be enfeoffed as a Marquis, set up a monument for his mother, and be buried in the Li Clan's cemetery.
But all of this was moving away at this moment.
His eye sockets were moist, and he reached out to wipe; he didn't know if it was blood or tears in his hand.
He didn't stop, just gritted his teeth tightly, letting out a low roar: "Faster!!"
The entire army was accelerating, charging toward the defense line ahead.
Along the five thousand miles, there were many cities located, all of which were large cities located on the border.
Those large cities chose to stay and garrison, covering the retreat for Li Xuanli.
When the demonic tide broke through the border so quickly, these border cities could no longer escape, so they would rather choose to die in their hometown.
A city raises a side of people!
However, these cities, in front of the mighty demonic tide, were like reefs covered by black waves, instantly submerged.
Only stirring up a little spray, relying on the city-protecting magic array, they barely supported, but were instantly shattered by the Great Demons of the Three Imperishable Realms in the demonic tide; under the mighty demons, all the common people and soldiers in the city became dead souls under the demon claws.
Wherever these demons passed, it was like locusts passing through, leaving no survivors.
However, at this moment, the large army was pursuing, and the demons dared not stay to taste slowly; some were directly carried in their mouths and eaten while chasing, while others were attracted by the delicacies and stayed behind to gnaw, but were directly slapped to death by the Great Demon who governed them.
Such prestige made the demon army march through each city, but the speed did not decrease at all.
And in those cities, only blood and corpse remains were left everywhere.
"They're here, they're here!"
Inside the defense line, the defenders on the city wall stared nervously, watching the thousands of troops and horses whistling from the front; in the place further behind them, it was the pursuing demonic tide.
"Quick, prepare to welcome them, wait for them to enter the city, and open the magic array at any time!"
"Let the Si Tian Jian issue the order!"
"Lower the city bridge!"
Orders were issued one after another from the city wall.
The defenders here were also of the Three Imperishable Realms, their strength extremely strong, but at this moment their expressions were extremely solemn and tense, because the intelligence sent from Li Xuanli's side was that three Demon Kings were attacking the defense line!
At this moment, although the momentum brought by the demonic tide was mighty, it was not unstoppable, at least it could be delayed.
But the traces of those three Demon Kings could not be seen, making him mentally tense.
The earth shook, thirty thousand remnants galloping, like an earthquake.
Li Xuanli looked at the city wall close at hand, seeing that the other side had made preparations to welcome them, his eyelids jumped straight, and he roared:
"Set up the magic array first!!"
His roar shook a hundred miles, integrating the power of the divine soul, and reached the defense line.
On the city wall, the commander of the Three Imperishable Realms heard it, his expression changed slightly, suddenly realizing something, and immediately said: "Quick, open the magic array first!"
Opening the magic array would block Li Xuanli and their footsteps; after all, they only had the border magic array command, but not the command for this second defense line.
Especially the hundreds of thousands of troops, none of them had the command; the manufacture of this command was extremely difficult, and only the leading general could be assigned one.
"Hmph, the reaction is quite fast!"
In the void, three figures suddenly appeared; they were the three Demon Kings who had broken through the border defense magic array earlier, breaking through the air, as if teleporting, previously just hiding and chasing.
They had delayed attacking to kill Li Xuanli and the large army, just to let this defense line close the magic array when they entered the second defense line.
Thus, they could easily break it open, and with extremely fast speed, quickly attack and occupy the second defense line, and use this to kill into the deeper hinterland within the border.
Soldiers value speed; as long as the speed is fast enough, Liangzhou will not have time to react, and the reinforcements of that Emperor Yu might not be able to catch up.
These human beings huddled together, one hair pulling the whole body; they not only wanted to break the city, but also had to be fast, otherwise once they were deadlocked, they would fall into a disadvantage instead.
They had learned this situation too many times; the war in Yanbei more than ten years ago was another living example.
Whoosh!
The three Demon Kings could not care about hiding anymore, chasing and arriving at extreme speed.
One of the Demon Kings suddenly raised his hand and slapped, wanting to block the magic array.
With a bang, a rough divine weapon like a bone spear killed out, driving the demonic clouds whistling and piercing through.
The magic array condensed rapidly, but the bone spear's speed was extremely fast, suddenly hitting the city wall, destroying the city wall, and the soldiers within hundreds of meters nearby were all shaken to death or injured; even those in the Heavenly Human Grandmaster Realm, under the influence of this aftermath, had pale expressions, Qi and blood surging, and their flesh and blood soft.
"Quick!"
At the moment the bone spear broke the city, the magic array condensed at the last moment.
Bang! Bang!
The attacks of the other two Demon Kings fell, but were blocked by the magic array, only stirring up countless divine patterns flickering.
The Demon King who had sacrificed the bone spear earlier roared and summoned the bone spear, but found that the bone spear did not respond; that magic array could block his call.
The power of object control could not penetrate the magic array.
"Damn it!"
The weapon was left behind; this Demon King spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, just annoyed, but not nervous.
The previous disguise was seen through; although reluctant, he could only spend some more time.
After breaking the array, the weapon would naturally come back.
Among these large armies, there were no Four Standing Realm experts, and he didn't care whether he had a weapon or not.
"Li Clan brat, your brain turns fast, right? I will pull out your head!"
This Demon King's entire body emerged with cyan veins, his eyes blooming with cold electricity, suddenly charging toward Li Xuanli's army.
Li Xuanli saw the traces of the three Demon Kings, secretly saying "as expected"; at this moment, seeing them turn back and charge, his gaze was gloomy, and he roared: "Form the array!"
The military camp galloping with ten thousand horses quickly gathered together, condensing into an array.
Forming a military array on horseback shows their usual well-trained nature.
Among the many military flags of the Li Clan, the ace is the Yuan Battalion, but the Xuan Battalion soldiers are also elite, basically practicing Middle Grade and Supreme Grade cultivation techniques.
Ordinary aristocratic young masters, under the same realm, might not be able to defeat a Xuan Battalion soldier, unless they are young geniuses.
Boom!
As the military array condensed, a peacock-like phantom rushed out from the military array, looking up to the sky and screeching, killing toward that Demon King.
"Hmph, since the magic array is open, you guys die outside too!"
The three Demon Kings turned around, venting all their anger on Li Xuanli and his army, raising their hands to stir up the earth, making a rumbling sound on the ground outside the city, raising high platforms, wanting to intercept all the armies.
Inside the city, the commander of the Three Imperishable Realms immediately asked someone to call the Si Tian Jian to repair the magic array of this city wall.
Fortunately, not many magic arrays were destroyed, only reducing a little power of the magic array; if repaired in time, it could be restored.
"Quick, open node thirty-four of the magic array, who is willing to lead the army out to meet General Li?!"
As the commander shouted, among the generals around, several people stepped out soon:
"Commander, this general is incompetent, willing to open the way for General Li!"
"Commander, let me come, this general is willing to open the way for General Li!"
"This general will definitely kill a bloody path for General Li, I will personally go to attract that Demon King!"
Several generals said loudly one after another.
Their words at this moment were not just out of a burst of hot blood, but some of them were from the Li Clan's concubine line, some had received the Li Clan's favor in their early years, and some were orphans saved by the Li Clan from a dangerous city swept by demons many years ago.
Strands of ties gathered into a river; this is the Li Clan's connections, the Li Clan's grace and prestige standing for a thousand years!
This Liangzhou commander took a deep breath, quickly pointed to two of the young generals, and said: "You two together, I'll leave it to you!"
"This general accepts the order!!"
The two young generals had sharp eyes, responded loudly, and then flew out quickly, leading their own soldiers, and roared:
"Brothers, follow me out of the city, those who die in battle will have merit added to their bodies, and their names will remain for a lifetime!!"
"Kill!!"
The two young generals led their respective armies, rushing out from a magic array opened separately from the side, then detouring from the side toward the front battlefield, killing toward the two Demon Kings.
Bang!
The three Demon Kings attacked, like the sky collapsing and the earth cracking, the monstrous demonic Qi swept down, suppressing and killing toward Li Xuanli's army, knocking the peacock military soul that had just screeched and flown out down, hitting the earth.
The peacock wailed, and thousands of soldiers also spat out blood, tumbling down from the horse's back and rolling into the horse's hooves.
But the Red Blood Horse was spiritual, did not abandon its master, but stopped at extreme speed after galloping for a distance, turned around and bit the master's armor, threw him onto the horse's back, and then rushed forward again.
Beside Li Xuanli, Li Wushuang spat out blood; she was also a member of the military array, her face pale as paper at this moment, her entire body's Qi and blood surging.
Above her head was the mighty demonic prestige, and death had never been so close.
She looked up at the dark sky covered by demonic clouds, her eyes revealing despair and anger.
Just as she was about to crack her own great meridians, burning her divine soul, to add prestige to the military array, Li Xuanli seemed to sense the fluctuation of his daughter's aura, glared at her angrily, and roared:
"Don't be stupid, it's not time yet."
Li Wushuang's tears burst out; she had never felt the cruelty of the battlefield so deeply, the countless soldiers who died for them earlier were still vivid in her mind.
It was countless people covering their retreat that they were able to escape to this second defense line.
"You are a Ninth-Grade Battle Body, with top-tier talent, you cannot be wasted here, you still have a future!"
Li Xuanli said in a low voice: "Quickly leave the military array, I will let Uncle Jian protect you, mix in the large army, and enter the city from the side."
While he was speaking, he quickly handed an array command to Li Wushuang's hand.
Li Wushuang's whole body shook; this was her father's array command.
The array command for the second defense line!
The number of these array commands was extremely small; besides the difficulty of construction, it was also because too many array commands were easy to lose, and once obtained by demons, the magic array would be useless!
"Dad!"
Li Wushuang was sorrowful.
"Go quickly!"
Li Xuanli roared: "Wait until you reach my cultivation level, then think about killing demons and enemies, you still have a long way to go, don't be stupid!"
Li Wushuang's eye sockets were like weeping blood, tears flowing like a spring; at this moment, she finally realized that what genius, what talent, were all bullshit!
Only the truly grown combat power is the most important.
Otherwise, no matter how many false names, in the face of this life and death, they are all useless!
She was too weak, weak to the point that any Great Demon could easily kill her!
Her cultivation speed was already very fast, but, it was not fast enough, it was still too far away!
"Go!"
Li Xuanli glared at her angrily, and then gave a look to another Three Imperishable Realm general beside him.
The other party understood, immediately jumped onto Li Wushuang's warhorse, restrained his aura, took off his general's battle armor, and ordered the surrounding large army to disperse, covering Li Wushuang to enter the city from the side.
The large army dispersed, and in front of the three Demon Kings, it would be even more unable to withstand a single blow.
This would only lead to death faster, but this was a choice with no other way.
Continuing to huddle together would also be quickly wiped out by the three Demon Kings, so it was better to disperse and fight!
Li Xuanli knew the Demon King's target was him; he took a deep breath, his body suddenly soared into the sky, and roared:
"Beast, dare to fight one-on-one?!"
"You are not worthy!"
The three Demon Kings did not fall for the trick, not affected by the provocation at all, only wanting to wipe him out quickly, and then destroy the magic array on this city wall.
"Die!"
One of the cold-faced blood-robed old men suddenly raised his hand, and a blood light shot out from his palm, like a giant ruler, the texture rough, but he slapped it down toward Li Xuanli, wanting to slap him to death on the spot.
He was in the Dao Heart Realm, and his attack was a sure hit.
Li Xuanli felt a sense of life-and-death terror enveloping him, as if he had been isolated from the military array; his heart beat wildly, roaring and unleashing his divine soul unity, his entire body's aura surging, drawing the power of the military array, and throwing a punch.
With a bang, the fist light hit the blood ruler, and the monstrous bloody aura scattered.
Another Demon King raised his hand and slapped, and countless purple whips like electric light fell, whipping Li Xuanli.
His battle armor was instantly torn, his cloak shattered, and his Indestructible Precious Body, which had been recuperating in the Divine General Mansion for many years, was severely injured again at this moment, his entire body covered in cracks, as well as scorched black marks.
His body fell straight into the army, smashing a deep pit in the ground.
The nearby Xuan Army quickly surrounded him, forming an array to protect him inside.
And the rest of the large army still kept dispersing, rushing toward all parts of the city.
"Dad!"
Li Wushuang saw Li Xuanli severely injured, her eye sockets turning red, but she didn't call out loudly, just biting her lips tightly, the bright red blood flowing into her mouth along the lips.
She knew that her father was using his life to attract the Demon King's attention, so that she and other soldiers could escape.
"Miss, don't look at the Demon King, otherwise you will be detected."
The Three Imperishable Realm general behind the warhorse said in a low voice.
Li Wushuang felt aggrieved and angry in her heart, but still withdrew her gaze and buried her head.
"Xuanli!"
Just at this moment, a delicate shout of anger sounded.
Just see several figures galloping from the distance within the defense line.
Li Wushuang heard the voice, looked up, and saw a familiar figure; it was her master, Qianji Daoist.
"Master is here!"
Li Wushuang's eyes suddenly revealed light, as if seeing the hope of salvation.
"Uncle Jian, it's Master, it's my Master who is here!"
She couldn't help but call out excitedly.
Li Jian looked up, and his eyes also revealed some surprise.
In the distance, besides Qianji Daoist, there were two female generals galloping over, looking like they were in their forties.
They were the second sister and fourth sister of Li Muxiu.
Both had married far away many years ago and had been noble ladies for decades; now, receiving Li Muxiu's message, they immediately took out the armor that had been sealed for many years, put it on, brought their weapons, and rushed over at the fastest speed.
Rushing along the way, their makeup had already melted, and it seemed they had returned to the moment they were galloping on the battlefield when they were young.
They knew that if the Li Clan was not in a dangerous situation, with Li Muxiu's strange temper, it was absolutely impossible for him to ask them for help.
Therefore, they came here almost without any thought or hesitation.
"Three Demon Kings!"
Qianji Daoist's gaze, however, was solemn, falling on the three Great Demon Kings.
He had crane hair and a child's face, looking like an immortal with a graceful and detached appearance.
"Old man Qianji!"
The three Demon Kings also noticed him, their gazes slightly raised, but they revealed a cold smile.
"Just by you, you dare to come alone?"
One of the Demon Kings stepped out, his entire body's demonic Qi increasing violently, covering like dark clouds, faintly manifesting a coiled double-winged strange dragon appearance.
"Yuan Dragon!"
Qianji Daoist saw the other party, his expression changed suddenly; this one was an elder in the Longmen, and his ranking was extremely high, his strength not weak, and he was an existence in the Fate-Reversing Realm.
"The Li Clan's women have also come, it seems the Li Clan's sons are really going to die out!"
Another Demon King sneered, half of his face skin cracked, revealing ferocious sharp teeth and a bright red tongue inside, his entire body's limbs twisting, manifesting his true form, which was a ferocious strange insect appearance.
"You guys solve him, I'll kill this stinky brat!"
The Demon King with cyan veins on his face said earlier.
He raised his hand to grab the mountain rocks on the ground, smashing them toward the military camp, and at the same time slapped down, wanting to crush them all.
"Stop!"
Qianji Daoist roared, suddenly attacking, a white light flying out, shattering the giant rock, and at the same time whipping toward the Demon King's palm.
"Still dare to be distracted!"
That Yuan Dragon Demon King's eyes were filled with killing intent, suddenly attacking, the manifested true dragon phantom suddenly tearing toward the opponent, spraying out large patches of demonic mist and poison gas.
Qianji Daoist shook his sleeves, shaking away this demonic mist, and said to the two Li Clan sisters-in-law beside him:
"Quick, you guys go to meet General Li, I will contain them!"
Both saw the situation was bad, hurriedly dispersed, and rushed toward Li Xuanli respectively.
"By you, you also want to fight the three of us alone?!"
Another strange insect Demon King let out a sharp cry, pouncing toward Qianji Daoist, opening his mouth to shoot a blood sword, killing out sharp black light.
Qianji Daoist raised his hand, sacrificing a golden seal, suppressing and killing toward the opponent's blood sword.
"Who gave you the guts!"
Yuan Dragon Demon King roared, suddenly manifesting his true form, the dragon body sweeping, and a tail whipping down.
Qianji Daoist was terrified, hurriedly propping up a golden light, his hands slapping palms one after another, shaking toward the opponent's dragon tail.
But countless scales on that dragon tail flickered with precious light, sharp and incomparable, carrying the aura of destruction, directly shattering his palm print and whipping onto his body.
With a bang, Qianji Daoist's body hit the ground below fiercely.
That mouthful of blood sword immediately bypassed the golden seal and flew toward the opponent at high speed.
Qianji Daoist roared, releasing his divine soul, and sacrificed another divine weapon, which was a long whip, winding toward the blood sword.
The blood sword was strangled by the long whip, struggling hard, but Yuan Dragon Demon King whistled and rushed down.
Lady Yin slapped down in anger, the sound of a loud slap imprinted on his face.
On the other side, the Demon King with cyan veins shook off the divine weapon in front of him; this was a nine-section whip, but at this moment Qianji Daoist was beaten by Yuan Dragon Demon King and couldn't be distracted, and this divine weapon also lost its sharp attack and was directly shaken off by him.
"Die!"
He dived toward Li Xuanli below, revealing his true form, shockingly a huge giant spider.
Countless silk threads shot out like poison blades, instantly piercing through the many Xuan Army soldiers protecting Li Xuanli, their bodies pierced by spider silk, and their divine souls wiped out together, not even having a chance to enter the Martial Temple.
"Stop!"
Two angry shouts came.
Afterward, golden light emerged, a burning holy talisman shot over, turning into a purple divine bell, enveloping Li Xuanli; it was shockingly a Holy Heart Precious Talisman.
Giant Spider Demon King roared, spraying more spider silk, covering the purple divine bell, but his gaze turned toward the two Li Clan female generals beside him.
"Looking for death!"
He was a bit annoyed, his eyes wide open, shooting out cyan light, wanting to slaughter the two women.
Li Qingling's hand suddenly burned with a Holy Heart Precious Talisman, turning into emerald green light, winding around her body, making her body technique increase suddenly, fast as a phantom.
She hurriedly pulled the fourth sister, and then rushed toward Li Xuanli, wanting to use the speed of this precious talisman to escape.
Li Xuanli also had a Holy Heart Precious Talisman on him, but it was used up when guarding the border earlier, blocking a fatal blow for him.
Seeing the two aunts appear at this moment, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, and said urgently: "Why did you come, you guys go quickly!"
"Stop talking, hurry up and grab me!"
Li Qingling said hurriedly.
She picked up Li Xuanli's arm, dragged him, and was about to rush toward that city.
But suddenly, a figure whistled past, hitting the ground in front of them, leaving a deep pit.
The three looked, and the figure there was shockingly Qianji Daoist.
At this moment, he was covered in blood, his appearance disheveled, long since not having the immortal appearance from just now.
The three were terrified; Qianji Daoist was at least in the Fate-Reversing Realm, yet he was defeated in the blink of an eye?
Just at this moment, two terrifying auras suddenly rose, making the three horrified, and also making the city wall not far away let out bursts of terrified shouts.
The three turned their heads to look, and saw that besides the figures of the three Demon Kings, I don't know when, there were two more figures.
"Your movements are really slow!"
One of them was dressed in white, graceful as jade, his face handsome.
But compared to the indifference of the past, his eyes had a bit more deep coldness.
"Shenggong, Bai Shenjun!"
"Blood Lake Dragon Demon!"
On the city wall, many people recognized the identities of these two Demon Kings.
Besides Bai Shenjun, the other one was an elder of the Longmen, also a Demon King, his strength similar to Yuan Dragon Demon King.
At this moment, five Demon Kings were in the air, as if wanting to swallow the world.
The terrifying demonic Qi covered, like dark clouds, making Li Xuanli and Li Qingling and others widen their eyes, unbelievable, but more of it was despair.
The many soldiers on the city wall also lost their voices, unable to speak.
How could there be five Demon Kings?!
"Master..."
Li Wushuang, who was about to reach the magic array in the distance, turned back to see this scene, the surprise in her eyes earlier now turned into shock and disbelief.
That powerful and invincible Master, would actually be defeated?
How could it be like this?
Clearly Master came.
But even Master was defeated!
Li Jian, who was protecting her, also saw no joy in his eyes, his face as ugly as a black pot; he even realized that this second defense line could not be held either.
Five Demon Kings, who else could come to block them?
Rumble~~!
In the distance, countless demonic tides swept and galloped over.
In the moment the three Demon Kings blocked, those demonic tides had already pursued.
And the generals and soldiers who stayed behind to intercept had long been submerged by the demonic tide, only slightly slowing down their speed, and then accelerated to pursue again.
Despair!
At this moment, whether outside the city or inside the city, everyone felt despair.
The appearance of the five Demon Kings was like covering the sun and moon; this terrifying pressure made people not even dare to whisper.
Thousands of troops and horses in front of the Demon Kings were like paper, unable to block them at all.
The magic array of this second defense line could not block them either!
The gaze of the whole scene fell on Qianji Daoist in the deep pit; at this moment, only he was the only Four Standing Realm expert in the scene, the last remaining glimmer of hope.
Qianji Daoist slowly climbed up from the ground, disheveled, his coiled hair bun already scattered.
He looked up at the five Demon Kings approaching slowly, his footsteps staggering, a huge blood hole in his abdomen, just ambushed by that Bai Shenjun, a spear almost shattering his heart.
His face was pale and ugly, his forehead covered in cold sweat; it had been over a hundred years, and he had never suffered such a heavy injury.
Looking at the five Demon Kings surrounding him, he knew that unless he used his Fate-Reversing opportunity, he would not be able to escape at all.
But his Fate-Reversing opportunity had long since been used up.
Could it be that he was also going to die here?
"Old thing, it seems you don't have a chance to reverse fate!"
Bai Shenjun captured the trace of sadness flashing in the bottom of Qianji Daoist's eyes, revealing a sneer.
The demonic tide, along with their footsteps, approached the only remaining large army outside the pass.
That torrent rushing over seemed to be able to swallow and devour Li Xuanli's army in the blink of an eye.
Li Xuanli's eyes were filled with despair, but soon erupted with sky-high bloodiness and roars, roaring: "Xuan Battalion, listen to the order, the last battle, follow me to fight to the death!!"
His roar spread throughout the entire military camp, and also echoed on the city wall.
"Hmph, mayflies shaking a tree!"
Bai Shenjun sneered, raising his hand to kill Li Xuanli first.
In Yanbei, he had competed with Li Tiangang for so many years, and had long hated Li Tiangang to the bone; at this moment, toward his brother, the killing intent was even more overflowing.
Just as he raised his hand to slap, suddenly an angry shout came from the horizon.
"Stop!!"
That was a woman's angry shout!
The voice was clear and cold, but crossed thousands of miles, falling into the ears of Bai Shenjun and other Demon Kings.
Several Demon Kings were surprised; could it be that there was another Li Clan girl who dared to come?
"Little sister!"
Li Xuanli almost instantly identified this shouting voice; it was the youngest sister guarding Tianmen Pass.
His originally angry expression now rarely revealed panic; in such a desperate situation, no matter how many people came, it was useless, and little sister coming was just accompanying him to the grave!
"Hongzhuang, don't come!!"
His eyes were moist and red, and he roared loudly.
But responding to his roar was a whistling sound shooting over rapidly!
Just see a black shadow flying from the horizon, like a sharp arrow, like meteorite iron from outside the sky, cutting through the long sky, crossing the vast plain, and shooting straight into the ground under the feet of those Demon Kings!
Dust flew on the ground, bursting into a deep pit of more than ten meters.
And in the deep pit, it was a flag!
Previously, the flag was rolled around the flagpole, not increasing wind resistance; at the moment of landing, the object-controlling power Li Hongzhuang wrapped around the flagpole was also shaken and dissipated.
The cloth wrapped around the flagpole slowly slid down and unfolded.
The breeze stirred, shockingly a military flag!
This ten-meter-long military flag was planted obliquely on this mighty battlefield, shaking with the breeze, the two characters "Haotian" unfurling.
Bai Shenjun, who was about to attack, saw the two characters on the battle flag, his footsteps stopped, and his pupils contracted violently.
At the same time, his heartbeat seemed to tremble fiercely.
Is it that youth like a God of War?!
He looked up suddenly, looking toward the horizon, but saw one black shadow after another flying over.
Shockingly, they were military flags, thumping and flying over one after another, shooting into the ground where the demonic tide was marching.
As the ground burst and the battle flags were revealed, the Great Demons of the Three Imperishable Realms who commanded the demonic tide in front, after a brief surprise, when they saw the unfurled "Haotian" characters, all trembled violently, revealing horror.
They immediately roared and ordered the whole army to stop.
One after another, long whistles of demons were issued, making the momentum of the demonic tide rushing forward drop rapidly.
Finally, they stopped four or five miles away from the battle flag.
Seeing that they were only a few thousand meters away, the Great Demons of the Three Imperishable Realms in these demonic tides all broke out in cold sweat, secretly relieved.
The intelligence transmitted by the Tianji Hall was frequent, and they had long known the situation outside Tianmen Pass.
This matter had long spread among the upper echelons of the demon forces; the Longmen and the Shenggong even pulled out Li Hao's battle flag to study, and as a result, it blew up a Great Demon of the Three Imperishable Realms.
Everyone knew that Tianmen Pass had that youth sitting in it, and it was the hardest nail in this Liangzhou.
That was also the place they prepared to swallow and pull out last!
This Haotian battle flag was planted five thousand miles outside the pass, deterring all demons, and had long since spread a fierce reputation, making people afraid.
"Don't, absolutely don't destroy that battle flag!"
A Great Demon knew the secret and hurriedly roared loudly.
Afraid that some blind demon would trample the flag to pieces.
The sudden battle flag, as well as the bizarre reaction of the demons, left Li Xuanli and others who were originally facing despair stunned.
What... is the situation?
Qianji Daoist was also stunned, looking at the military flag in surprise.
Everything seemed to be because of this military flag.
These demons were extremely afraid of this military flag.
But the Yuan battle flag of the Li Clan ancestors planted on the battlefield, symbolizing the invincible Yuan Battalion army, had never had such prestige.
Whose flag is that, and on it, whose name is it?!
After Li Xuanli saw the battle flag clearly, his whole body shook; being in Liangzhou, he naturally knew whose battle flag it was.
Hao'er also came?
He hurriedly looked up, looking into the distance, but only saw a bright red figure galloping over; it was his little sister Li Hongzhuang.
On Li Hongzhuang's back, a large bundle of battle flags was carried, and at this moment, she landed.
"Fifth Brother!"
Li Hongzhuang called out urgently.
Li Xuanli's gaze swept toward her back, and he hurriedly said: "Did Hao'er also come?"
His voice carried tension, both expectant and afraid, afraid that Li Hao would also have an accident if he came.
He knew that Li Hao had Four Standing Realm protection behind him; if Li Hao came, that Four Standing Realm expert would probably come too.
But there were five Demon Kings in front of him!
Li Hongzhuang pursed her lips slightly and did not answer; she was worried that her answer would be heard by these Demon Kings.
Although she didn't know how much deterrence Li Hao had on these Demon Kings, it was better to keep silent.
At this moment, Bai Shenjun's gaze swept over Li Hongzhuang's figure, and then looked straight at where she came from, as if nervously waiting for something.
But no figure appeared there for a long time.
However, Bai Shenjun did not dare to relax.
He knew that besides the terrifying combat power, that brat was also extremely cunning; perhaps he had hidden his figure and was waiting for an opportunity!
The mighty momentum outside the city earlier fell into a brief pause due to Li Hongzhuang's arrival.
Countless demons in the demonic tide all stopped in front of a row of battle flags on the ground, not daring to move forward.
Those few Demon Kings also stopped in front of the battle flag and did not continue to attack.
Such a bizarre scene left everyone on the city wall dumbfounded.
These demons seem to be very afraid?!
"Haotian Flag... could it be the one from Tianmen Pass?"
"How is that possible?"
On the city wall, the Liangzhou commander muttered to himself.
That Young General's reputation was too loud; even if he didn't deliberately inquire, it had reached his ears from the conversations of his subordinates.
But, is this military flag that youth's?
But why are these demons so wary?!
Too bizarre!
"Did that brat from Tianmen Pass also come?"
Several Demon Kings all had solemn gazes, looking into the distance.
Although they didn't see the youth's figure, they all had an uncomfortable feeling in their bodies.
Rumors about that youth had long been circulating in their several major forces, and he was also listed on the must-kill list.
Fighting three Demon Kings alone, beating out the second life of a Fate-Reversing Realm Demon King, simply brutal.
If the other party also came here, then the battlefield in front of them was really hard to say.
The most critical thing is, Li Hao was not seen.
Did he come or not?
Say he didn't come, but his battle flag came.
Say he came, but his figure was not seen.
—As if he came.
"Bastard!"
"Stinky brat, if you have the ability, come out!!"
"Hiding your head and showing your tail, what kind of ability is that!"
Several Demon Kings looked around and let out bursts of roars.
This sudden shouting left everyone on the city wall stunned.
What are these Demon Kings doing?
Whose name are they shouting?!
"That seems to be the military flag of that Young General Haotian!"
"Yes, that's right, I've been to Tianmen Pass, I didn't see him and I came back, but I've seen this military flag!"
"It's his flag!"
"It's the battle flag of that Young General Haotian!"
Inside the city wall, some young people in the temporarily assembled aristocratic army recognized Li Hao's battle flag and let out shocked and pleasantly surprised shouts.
This voice soon spread, and in an instant, everyone couldn't believe it; this was actually the battle flag of that Young General Haotian!
A mere Young General's flag actually made the group of demons that broke through the border pass and pursued five thousand miles into the border stop, deterring all demons!
Even that Demon King was wary because of this?
Does that youth have such prestige?!
Under Li Jian's protection, Li Wushuang, who took advantage of the Demon King's daze to drill into the magic array in the city, heard the bursts of exclamations in the city and couldn't help but be stunned.
She stared blankly at the flags fluttering on the battlefield, the two characters shaking fiercely on it.
