Chapter 901

"Quick, return to defend, Dragon Coiling!"

Long Ying said hurriedly.

This huge dragon formation suddenly turned and coiled up like a giant python. Duan Yuan and the others acted one after another, the dragon's belly twisted, coiling the dragon's tail where Li Hao was located in the deepest part.

After the previous battle, Li Hao's performance had completely won their approval, and at this moment, they all chose to protect Li Hao first.

Li Hao saw the Ghost Mother Formation rushing over, and his expression changed. He could feel the aura that was much stronger than the Yama Ghost Formation. He had a feeling of cold light pricking his back, like a haze of death enveloping him.

Life and death were in an instant. Li Hao had no time to think. He was just about to burn his True God blood, but Shi Miao's voice suddenly entered his mind:

"I'll do it."

He saw a terrifying power of time suddenly acting on the dragon formation. Immediately after, Shi Miao, who was located at the dragon's claws, bloomed with seven-colored divine light all over her body.

The giant dragon's sharp claws brandished, as if tearing through time and space, actually blocking the void battlefield where the Ghost Mother Formation was pouncing, drawing a ruin of time and space.

That Ghost Mother Formation collided into the void ruin of time and space, its figure became stagnant, as if frozen inside.

But this stagnation was extremely short-lived. Shi Miao raised her hand again, and a seven-colored spiral divine light was born in the void, like a sharp arrow, instantly shooting toward the Ghost Mother Formation, piercing through one of its arms. Many Ancient Demons fell out from it, and their bodies burst.

The Ghost Mother Formation lost an arm and became even more crazy. It let out a low roar and rushed over at a faster speed.

Long Ying and the others had not yet recovered from the shock. They did not expect Shi Miao to actually be able to injure the Ghost Mother Formation in return.

Bang!

Suddenly, a dragon roar sounded. The Earth Armor Department giant dragon chasing behind the Ghost Mother Formation caught up during the moment Shi Miao blocked it, bit the back of the Ghost Mother Formation, and the two sides entangled together.

"Quick, retreat to another place."

Long Ying said hurriedly.

The nine people coordinated with the two armies and quickly retreated, staying away from the battlefield here. The aftershocks of the Ghost Mother Formation's battle would cause damage to them.

Fortunately, they retreated safely from the side. The Ghost Mother Formation was entangled by the Earth Armor Department giant dragon and could not get away, and because it had broken an arm, it quickly fell into a disadvantage.

Long Ying and the others saw this, and their eyes were shocked. They had thought that Li Hao's performance was amazing enough, but they did not expect Shi Miao to actually injure the Ghost Mother Formation with the Six-Harmonies Dragon Scale Formation. This was no less than an Immortal King crossing two realms to severely injure the opponent.

They had thought that these two coming to the seventh floor of the Dragon Shield was a burden to them, but now it seemed that they were their gospel instead.

They had no time to catch their breath. Yama Ghost Formations killed their way over from the side, and many people fell into the slaughter again.

The situation on the battlefield was also undergoing huge changes. Fighting was happening everywhere, and in that exotic realm where the two Quasi-Emperor Realms were fighting, countless destructive powers were filled. Accompanied by a dragon roar, a huge Ancestral Dragon body retreated from it, and another hideous Ancient Demon figure like a giant black ghost, with black mist rising all over its body, turned back and returned to the Ancient Demon group.

Behind the battlefield, Qing Xuan hurriedly greeted the returning City Lord, Long Potian. When he saw that his aura was chaotic, his expression changed slightly, and he said:

"City Lord, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, that guy is more severely injured than me!"

Long Potian grinned slightly, but his eyes scanned the Ancient Demon group gloomily. Subsequently, he looked into the distance and saw that although the battlefield was mired in a stalemate of slaughter, the situation was still stable, and their side was at an advantage.

He scanned toward the teleportation array and saw that the Heaven Armor Department deployed there in advance had already revealed itself, cutting down all seven or eight Ghost Mother Formations that were attempting to destroy the teleportation array. Among them, two Punishment Ghost Formations were also entangled and could not get away.

His heart settled, and he looked up to the sky and let out a dragon roar:

"Kill!"

The sound of the Ancestral Dragon spread throughout the battlefield. To these tribes of the Eastern Region, it had a rousing power that could inspire their bloodlines.

Many army formations erupted with even more terrifying momentum and killed toward the Ancient Demon great formation.

Li Hao and Shi Miao also felt the morale of Long Ying and the others doubling. The might within the dragon formation increased by ten percent, and they followed suit to charge and kill.

When Li Hao's Extreme Dao Law was about to decline, he originally intended to burn his True God blood to continue maintaining his power, but he discovered that the Yama Ghost Formations around him were retreating quickly, and giant black ghosts were fleeing and withdrawing from the battlefield one after another.

"They are preparing to flee, kill!"

Long Ying roared low.

They chased and killed out. These Yama Ghost Formations turned their backs to them and were soon hit hard.

But Long Ying did not chase deep, only stopping at the end of the land outside the city. In that void, black mist was still permeating the Ancient Demon army, and it was impossible to tell how many there were. It was a vast expanse, carrying extremely strong pressure.

"We held it!"

"We won!"

Watching the Ancient Demon army flee and retreat in large numbers, cheers erupted everywhere on the battlefield.

Li Hao followed in the army formation, but his thoughts became exceptionally calm. His gaze swept across, and he saw countless Ancient Demon blood left all over the battlefield. Among them, there were also many corpses of soldiers of various tribes.

Accompanied by the sound of horns, many army formations retreated one after another, not chasing deep. And in the void on the Ancient Demon side, the black mist gradually went away and gradually disappeared, and the starry sky returned to brightness.

"We won!"

Long Ying finally relaxed at this moment, and a smile appeared on his face. In this battle, there were no casualties among the nine of them. Although the belly of the army formation was damaged and some soldiers were lost, the army formation was not broken, and the damage was relatively minor, which could be considered an extremely good result.

"It's a good thing you blocked that Ghost Mother Formation, otherwise we would all be finished."

Long Ying looked at Shi Miao for the first time and said thankfully.

He vaguely felt that if this young girl challenged his position as the building owner, she would probably succeed, and respect could not help but rise in his heart.

Hearing Long Ying's words, Duan Yuan and the others could not help but look at Shi Miao, their eyes full of joy and gratitude.

Shi Miao saw their expressions, the frowned brows slightly relaxed, and she nodded faintly. Although she had some misgivings about them before, she let it go at this moment. Her figure flickered, and she came to Li Hao's side and said: "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Li Hao shook his head and smiled.

The first battle was a success, and he also felt the terror of this top-tier battlefield on the border.

Even though he had now become an Immortal King, there was still a danger of perishing in an instant.

Shi Miao looked at him reproachfully and transmitted her voice: "There is no need, you must not burn your True God blood. Although that is your trump card, it is not easy to cultivate the True God blood that is burned."

Although Li Hao could refine True God blood by eating Ancient Demon flesh and blood, he had to eat a lot to get it back. Compared to ordinary people, it was an extremely perverted cultivation method, but it was ultimately a loss to himself.

Li Hao knew she felt sorry for him and nodded: "Unless it's a real critical moment, I won't use it easily."

Shi Miao nodded, also knowing that the situation was critical just now and there was no better choice. It was just that Li Hao didn't have it, but she did.

"Brother Haotian, we underestimated you before. I didn't expect your performance to be no worse than ours."

Gui Xuanbing of the Ghost Clan said to Li Hao.

The eyes of others also fell on Li Hao. Except for Shi Miao, Li Hao's performance was also pleasantly surprising. Not only did he not drag them down, but the aura he erupted before and the quick counter-kill of the Yama Ghost Formation were stronger than the vast majority of them.

Duan Yuan's eyes changed for a moment, and soon a solemn expression appeared. He said to Li Hao:

"The previous impoliteness was because I was shallow-sighted. I hope you will forgive me."

Li Hao knew what he was referring to, shook his head and smiled, and said: "That was all a few years ago. Since we are comrades fighting side by side on the battlefield, why say such things."

Seeing Li Hao's free and easy expression, Duan Yuan was slightly startled. He had thought that Li Hao would use this to mock him, or be cold like Shi Miao. He did not expect that the other party seemed not to have taken the previous matter to heart at all.

A feeling of hot current surged in his heart. Such an open-minded temperament made him feel respect. He clasped his fists at Li Hao again and said no more.

Seeing this, others also smiled, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

Everywhere on the battlefield, the cheers of the army sounded at this moment, like a mountain-toppling and sea-draining force, carrying rousing power. In the city, the dragon drums shook, announcing the withdrawal of troops.

Long Ying and the others also withdrew the dragon formation one after another. The two armies bowed and thanked the nine people in unison, and then returned to the city together.

"This time we killed five Yama Ghost Formations. In terms of Immortal Merit, this is the most we have taken in a thousand years."

On the top floor of the seventh floor of the Dragon Shield, Long Ying looked at everyone and said: "According to the old rules, rewards are based on merit. This Immortal Merit will be distributed according to everyone's unanimous approval. I propose that the first merit belongs to Shi Miao. Who objects?"

Duan Yuan and the others all looked at Shi Miao. If Shi Miao hadn't blocked the Ghost Mother Formation before, they would all be finished. Naturally, no one objected at this moment.

Long Ying nodded, "Since there is no objection, the first merit belongs to Shi Miao. For the first-class merit, I propose two people: Duan Yuan and Haotian. Who objects?"

Everyone looked at each other, and still no one spoke.

Duan Yuan was the person second only to Long Ying, and his previous performance was also extremely hard-working. And Li Hao's performance was also pleasantly surprising. Although he was at the position of the dragon's tail, he coordinated with the two armies to block the Yama Ghost Formation, quickly counter-killed one, and helped others severely injure another, contributing greatly.

Shi Miao and Li Hao looked at each other and said nothing. They didn't have any thoughts about Immortal Merit, but they didn't decline either.

"I think, next time we clash, we can let Haotian be responsible for the dragon's body."

Luli said.

"That's right, I also think so. Haotian has this ability."

Others also nodded one after another.

"Brother Haotian, are you at the First Realm or the Second Realm of the Immortal King Realm? Looking at your aura, it has fallen back to the First Realm. Did you take some kind of divine medicine before?"

Gui Xuanbing asked curiously.

Li Hao knew that the Carving Dao was difficult to explain, so he nodded.

"Then are there any side effects?"

Gui Xuanbing could not help but ask.

Others also stared at Li Hao. Being able to briefly elevate one's cultivation, like the pill Long Ying wanted to give Li Hao before, had great side effects.

If Li Hao damaged his foundation for this, it would be too hurtful for them.

"Just losing some lifespan."

Li Hao didn't go into detail. Five hundred years of lifespan, he could afford it.

Although Li Hao said it lightly, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they didn't make a sound, knowing that Li Hao's sacrifice was absolutely not low.

This was a direct disciple of the Immortal Emperor, with an extremely noble status, yet he was willing to sacrifice his lifespan to fight.

"Since that's the case, next time Brother Haotian should still be responsible for the dragon's tail, and others should help out more."

Long Ying said.

Others nodded. Before, they were aiming for double Immortal Merit when they took care of Li Hao, but at this moment, there were a few who actively wanted to take care of this young man with peerless talent.

From the other party, they truly saw some hope, the hope of the future!

After the distribution of Immortal Merit ended, Long Ying let everyone go to rest.

Li Hao also returned to his respective floor with Shi Miao.

The Extreme Dao Law ended, and Li Hao was now exhausted all over, with no strength. He soaked in the mountain spring, silently recovering himself, feeling the divine blood in his Immortal body being moistened and nourished.

The fatigue of the overdraft of his foundation was also slowly recovering.

The scenes of the battlefield before emerged in Li Hao's mind. This great battle left a deep impression on him, whether it was the Quasi-Emperor Realm clash of the City Lord, the charge of various army formations, or the shadow of death from the Ghost Mother Formation...

"The great battle one hundred thousand years ago must have been a hundred or a thousand times more intense than this..."

Li Hao's thoughts drifted into the distance. The highest combat strength of both sides in this battle was the Quasi-Emperor Realm, while the great battle one hundred thousand years ago affected the entire True Realm, and even Great Emperors perished. The Quasi-Emperor Realm did not know how many sacrificed. It was hard to imagine what kind of heaven-collapsing and earth-shattering it would be!

"My power is still too weak... I must walk out of my own Emperor Path, so that in the future, I can have the power to survive in such a great battle."

Li Hao secretly said in his heart.

Musical notes emerged in his mind. The countless intense roars on the battlefield before made him feel touched in his heart.

Especially the Ancestral Dragon fight of the City Lord, which stirred up the hot blood and morale of many army formation soldiers.

All things in the world have their own sounds...

Li Hao slowly closed his eyes, as if sleeping in the mountain spring.

Shi Miao was in her own floor. After her healing ended, she came to the first floor of the Dragon Shield Tower for the first time, wanting to see Li Hao, but saw Li Hao soaking in the mountain spring, as if sleeping, surrounded by strange Dao rhymes, and the Myriad Dao Laws flowing, surrounding him like a silkworm cocoon.

She was slightly startled, and immediately understood that Li Hao was in some kind of Dao Realm epiphany, so she immediately guarded silently by the side without disturbing him.

Time passed.

Immortal Merit was reported, approved, and distributed. Long Ying came to notify, and Shi Miao took the initiative to greet him, not letting him enter the floor to disturb Li Hao's cultivation.

The entire Longmen City, in every building and every place, was also recuperating after the battle.

In the City Lord's Mansion.

Qing Xuan and Long Potian, as well as the four Grand Commanders, were in the Council Hall, discussing the casualties and the purpose of the Ancient Demon's attack.

"Sure enough, they came for the teleportation array. It seems the purpose of that trace before was very obvious."

"In this situation, we must ask for reinforcements from the Jianlong Pass, otherwise, with the Ancient Demon army pressing down, next time they come, relying only on us may not be enough to hold."

"This offensive is already very aggressive, but we were prepared, so they were not radical and chose to retreat temporarily."

Several commanders spoke one after another.

"Our Longmen City belongs to one of the hundred cities of the second line of defense and must not have any accidents." A commander said in a low tone.

Long Potian nodded slightly, then frowned and said: "But Jianlong Pass, as the first line of defense, also has tight troop sources. Asking for reinforcements from them is not as good as asking for reinforcements from other hundred cities. Jianlong Pass must not have any accidents."

"That's true."

Qing Xuan nodded, agreeing with the City Lord's words.

They continued to discuss in low voices.

In the blink of an eye, another three years passed.

In the first ten years of Li Hao coming to this Eastern Region, he opened his eyes in the mountain spring on the peak.

At the same time, a Dragon Blood Secret Report was urgently transmitted to the City Lord's Mansion in Longmen City.

The secret report shattered, and a dragon roar jumped out from it, telling a terrifying piece of news:

Jianlong Pass had been broken!
