Chapter Twenty-Six: A Fight to the Death

Twenty miles outside the city.

On a hillside, several men and women in blood-colored robes stood quietly, their cold eyes staring at the direction of the city wall shrouded in bright light, their faces a little ugly.

“…… How long has it been under siege, and you can't even take a peripheral city? This waste is really useless, and it is really a bunch of garbage. A long-bearded old man with green eyes snorted dissatisfiedly.

"Well, although it was originally used as a consumable, it has been delayed until now, and there is no result at all, which cannot be explained to His Majesty the Demon Lord." Another middle-aged man with a hooked nose said with a similarly gloomy face.

Through the ultra-long-range teleportation circle secretly established, it communicates the dark region with the outer edge of the Cangxuan Mountain Range, and continuously sends countless low-level monsters over, driving them to sweep the outer area of the Xuanling Palace Mountain Gate. This is an important part of the entire sect's strategy plan.

As we all know, the outer disciples of Xuanling Palace, most of the important industries, and more than half of the outer sect elders basically live in these outer cities, including the massive mortals who indirectly serve the sect.

If the cities in these peripheral areas of Xuanling Palace can be wiped out in one fell swoop, and all the disciples and civilians will be killed, it will definitely cause immeasurable losses to this top sect, and it may not be able to recover for many years.

However, it now appears that the situation is not going as smoothly as they had hoped. The upper echelons of Xuanling Palace were not as easy to fool as they thought, whether it was the core of the mountain gate or the defense strength of the outer city, it was far beyond expectations.

"Didn't we have enough means in advance on the surrounding mountains and rivers to launch and completely cut off the source of spiritual power of their great array at a critical moment? Why doesn't it look like it works at all? An old woman with a gloomy face tapped the skull cane in her hand, and said with dissatisfaction.

"That's because the spiritual power accumulated in the Xuanling Palace's mountain protection array is far more abundant than we estimated, even if there is no supplement, it can be supported alone for a long time, not to mention that they have now begun to send capable people to repair the spiritual veins and intercept our disciples on the periphery." The old man gritted his teeth and said.

The hook-nosed man looked coldly at the sky above his head, and uncontrollable frustration and anxiety appeared in his heart. The duel between His Majesty the Demon Lord and the Xuanling Palace Sect has reached a stalemate, and it will be difficult to tell the winner for a while. On my side, we have not been able to make progress for a long time, and it is absolutely harmful to consume it.

Such a major plan consumes countless resources of the sect, and if it ends up in vain, it will be a big laughing stock, and it will make the Cangyuan Demon Domain lose face in the cultivation world, and it will not be able to raise its head for a long time.

"How much reserve do we have?" The hook-nosed man pondered silently for a while and asked.

"The spirit stones of the ultra-long-range teleportation circle can still support three hours,"

The old woman on crutches replied, "However, many elders of the Xuanling Palace have been secretly dispatched, and some of the forces have also infiltrated the Holy Realm in an attempt to disrupt the operation of the teleportation circle, and the elite disciples we are responsible for intercepting have suffered great losses. ”

"Is there only so much time?" The hook-nosed man's face grew gloomy.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that if you want to teleport a large number of monsters from the extremely distant Demon Domain in an instant, the spirit stone resources consumed every minute and every second are extremely large numbers. It's good if you can solve it quickly, but once the war is deadlocked, then the attrition is not ordinarily terrifying. No matter how thick the family is, the sect is not happy to see this situation appear.

"The only way to do this is to intensify the attack and open up the situation as soon as possible."

The hook-nosed man's face showed a solemn expression: "Pass the order, let all the monster legions attack at any cost, and the disciples who oversee the battle on the periphery will also participate, including us." ”

"Within three hours, we must break through the city and kill everyone inside!"

"Yes!"

The rest of the elders all respected him, and they agreed loudly when they heard this. The old woman took out a strange-shaped blood-colored bone horn from her arms, brought it to her mouth and blew it vigorously, and bursts of strange and murderous sound waves spread rapidly.

If His Majesty the Demon Lord was finally forced to retreat, they would at least be able to severely damage the foundation of the Xuanling Palace before then, and this battle would not be without success.

……

on the city walls.

The dazzling sword light swept through the space within a radius of several meters, and the multi-headed demon Shura was hit by the sword light, and his head exploded one after another, and his tall body collapsed to the ground limply.

"Are they going to go all out?"

Qin Luyan watched the countless monsters under the city rushing all over the mountains, her eyes flashing with crazy blood, and she flew towards the city wall in the rain of arrows.

A sharp sound of breaking the sky sounded, Qin Luyan was alarmed, her delicate body suddenly moved a step sideways, and a short spear forged from red copper demon iron almost grazed her face and flew quickly, and the fierce wind blew her skin painfully.

A male disciple next to him was a little unlucky, and was pierced through the vital point of his body by two throwing spears at the same time, and the screams lasted for a few seconds before he was silent.

Qin Luyan screamed softly, swung her sword to block several throwing spears, and slashed Shura who rushed over. Feeling out the last Soul Clearing Blood Yuan Dan Plug in the mouth, he raised his sword again and killed it.

The mysterious bronze tripod in the sea of consciousness slowly rotated, and the mind entered the realm of forgetting things and self, and the speed of the entire world became relatively slow.

The enemies within five meters of the surroundings were vividly visible, and the long sword in his hand swept lightly, following the trajectory of Xuan Zhi Xuan, and in the next moment, more than ten demon generals let out a desperate roar of near death, and they were all disemboweled by this sword.

The snow light of the sword turned into a ball of light, slowly moving back and forth along this section of the city wall, and all the monsters that approached were not spared, and they were killed by the terrifying sword intent, and the corpses fell like wheat.

At this time, with the onslaught of the monster army at any cost, the casualties of the defenders and outer disciples in the city skyrocketed, and the blood stained the stone floor tiles under their feet, and mixed into streams and blood pools, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was a human or a monster.

However, in a moment's effort, there were more than ten wounds on Qin Luyan's body, mainly because her performance was too eye-catching, because the small bosses among those monsters regarded her as a key siege target, and they wanted to kill her quickly.

"Beware!"

Yu Huan's faint exclamation came.

A scarlet sword light appeared in the distance without warning, and appeared in front of her with a slight flash, Sen Sen's sword intent was chilling to the bone, like the scythe of death breaking through the air, to harvest all life in the world.

In an instant, Qin Luyan's mind even had some kind of illusion, it was impossible for her to avoid this sword no matter what, and there was no other way but to close her eyes and wait for death.

"Hum~~"

At the last moment, the mysterious copper tripod let out a strange trembling sound, awakening her consciousness that was almost sinking. He swung a sword out of his hand and intercepted the sword light that was going to kill in a dangerous way.

"It's such a terrible sword intent, I almost ......" Qin Luyanhao's wrists were numb, and cold sweat was faintly pouring out of her beautiful sideburns, and she was afraid for a while.

The other party is obviously an extremely difficult master, it should be the strength of the ninefold peak of the Qi Refining Realm, and he is probably only one step away from the Yunling Realm, otherwise it would be impossible to pose such a big threat to her.

The monsters in the distance scattered, and an extremely young man in red stepped into the air, standing firmly on the city wall, holding a long sword with faint blood light and crystal clear in his hand, and the pale golden sword was inlaid with a number of gorgeous gems, exuding a beautiful light of illusion.

There is no doubt that this guy's status in the Demon Gate should not be low, equivalent to the inner disciple of Xuanling Palace, and maybe he will be able to become a noble existence at the level of a core disciple in the future.

He carefully looked at Qin Luyan for a few moments, nodded and said: "The little beauty has a good ability, she can actually take my blow, if you are willing to abandon the sword and surrender, I can consider taking you as a concubine and taking you back to my territory." ”
