Chapter 117: Ambush
The fiery Western world, Phoenix.
The sound of drums resounded in the sky, and the fighting spirit soared into the sky.
Hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers poured from the Dark Mountain to the direction of Phoenix City, the road was blocked, the steel helmet and iron armor covered the cold light, and all kinds of siege weapons were pulled by the huge demon beasts, slowly advancing in the direction of Phoenix City.
Dark clouds were over, and there was not a single ray of sunlight in the sky.
The demons don't like the sun, and before they set out on the expedition, a grand light shot out from the dark mountain to the sky, the sky was dark, and the earth instantly changed color.
Wherever the demon soldiers passed, there was no longer a ray of sunshine.
Behind the neat and loud mouths of the demon soldiers echoing everywhere in the wilderness, from a hundred miles outside Phoenix City to the entrance of the Dark Mountain, countless demon soldiers have formed one steel phalanx after another.
The spears pointed, the crossbow arrows were lined up, and the battle was about to break out, and the Phoenix City was full of gloom. A million demon army pressed the realm, and Phoenix City was like a small boat under the storm, and it could be overwhelmed at any time.
The banner of the Phoenix City was unfurled, and the wind blew the fiery red banner to hunt, and the phoenixes in the banner seemed to be alive, showing their teeth and claws in the wind, glaring at the continuous demon soldiers outside the city.
The city was covered with grim-faced soldiers, who had no hope, no reinforcements. Some are just weapons in their hands, but they are fearless, and in the face of the pressure of the demon army, they have the courage to die with the enemy.
Rather for ", the broken jade is not complete, this is the arrogance in the hearts of every Phoenix people.
Facing the attack of the demon army on the top of the main city tower, Huang Ziqi stood in front of the huge window with an indifferent face.
Red sand flew, and the air was filled with the stench of demon soldiers. The smoke was thick, and he looked coldly at the demon army that couldn't see the end.
"Still no news, we were betrayed by everyone. The golden-red spear slammed into the ground, and Huang Ziqi said hatefully.
Behind him, Ling Yun and the others were also full of gloom. They had just returned to Phoenix City from the Valley of Flowers yesterday, and they encountered the demon army on the way, killing countless demon soldiers, and came all the way in blood.
The last three Phoenix Fire Divine Guards also died on the way back, and Huangfu Ying and Nangong Yun were both slightly injured. The power of the demon army can be seen, and trying to compete with a million demon soldiers with the power of Phoenix City alone is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
The last bit of sunlight disappeared from the head of Phoenix City, and the dark clouds created by the demons completely covered the battlefield of the upcoming battle. The demon army is ready to attack, just waiting for the last batch of siege weapons to arrive before launching an attack.
"Human, completely unreliable. The feather people also betrayed us. Panlong City is still dreaming of their still being strong in the east of the Dragon Soul Continent, but you see, this world is coming to an end. When the iron cavalry of the demons straddles our bones, they will sweep across the entire Dragon Soul Continent, and who else will be able to stop them when the time comes. ”
Huang Ziqi shouted angrily, so far, the so-called reinforcements have not even arrived. All of them seemed to want the mythical world of Phoenix to disappear, and they abandoned Phoenix.
Ling Yun's face was also embarrassed, and now in the entire city, except for their cultivators who spontaneously came from all over the city, the total number of troops that Phoenix City could call on was less than 50,000.
Competing with 50,000 people and a million well-trained demon army is even more ridiculous than a fool's dream. Besides, the cultivators from all over the country who are here are just some good at fighting alone, and these can't play a role at all on the battlefield.
The demon soldiers fired ten thousand arrows, you are cultivating to the sky, and what about the unparalleled martial arts, it will not be of any use at all.
Huang Ziqi slowly turned his head and looked at Ling Yun lightly: "If Phoenix City really falls, I want to ask you for one thing." Take my son out of this city, he and Xingyue are the hope of Phoenix City, as long as there is still a clan with phoenix blood, our phoenix clan will not disappear in this world. One day, the phoenix will be reborn after Nirvana. ”
Ling Yun smiled bitterly: "Are you confessing your last words?"
Huang Ziqi also smiled bitterly: "Do you think that if I don't confess now, there will be time in the future?"
Ling Yun nodded, he knew that the situation was grim now, and when the demon clan really attacked, it would be a question of who would survive at that time.
He smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity that I haven't even found my own apprentice and Xingyue, but you have given me an important task. Just believe me?"
"You are the most trustworthy person. Huang Ziqi smiled slightly and patted Ling Yun's shoulder hard.
In this city, only he and Ling Yun had the highest cultivation. Ling Yun can take Huang Ziqi's son back to the Heavenly Dao Academy, and there will be a chance to live in the future. But if you want to stay here with him, there is only a dead end.
Because the Huang Zi period has decided to live and die together in the city.
He is a descendant of the Phoenix God, and no city lord has abandoned Phoenix City.
If the city had to disappear from this world, he wanted to be the one who lit the fire.
"Okay, I promise you. No matter where you go, I will protect your children well. Ling Yun said solemnly.
Huang Ziqi smiled happily, and the roar outside the city became louder and louder. The demon army with neat steps is advancing towards Phoenix City, and their attack is about to begin.
The Spirit Devouring Bird rushed to Phoenix City day and night, whether it was Long Yunzhou or Xingyue, they were all anxious in their hearts.
Only Princess Baihua seems to be very indifferent, she is a feather person, and the battle between the demon clan and Phoenix City has nothing to do with her. She naively thought that as long as the demons defeated the people of Phoenix City, they would also be free.
"How long will it take to get to Phoenix?" Xingyue sat on the Spirit Eater Bird and asked Long Yunzhou anxiously.
"It should be soon, we've been flying for three days. According to the speed of the Soul Eater, it should have arrived. Long Yunzhou looked into the distance, also very anxious.
He knew that after he and Xingyue were kidnapped, Ling Yun and the others must have gone to Phoenix City, the big battle was imminent, they were under the sword and sword of the demon clan, and the situation was quite dangerous. He longed to have wings on his back and fly to Phoenix to be with his friends.
"What do you say, we're going to Phoenix, you feather man, do you want to go back?" Xingyue looked at Princess Baihua with disdain, and the corners of her eyes were full of disdain.
Princess Baihua lowered her head and thought for a moment, although the battle between the demon clan and Phoenix City was not about the Yu people. But if the demons attack Phoenix, the road will inevitably be blocked. She would never be able to return to Qianmu Ling Mountain alone, and if she was alone, it would definitely be very dangerous.
It's better to follow Long Yunzhou and Xingyue, although Xingyue hates her very much, but as long as she doesn't speak, everyone can be safe. It was better to follow them than to be alone, even if she went to Phoenix, she believed that Long Yunzhou would keep her safe.
"I'll go with you, I also want to see what the people of the demon clan are like. Princess Baihua raised her head, a glimmer of light in her bright eyes.
Hearing this, Long Yunzhou turned his head and looked at the princess of the feather people in surprise.
But he didn't think much about it, nodded slightly and said that he knew, and didn't say anything more. However, Xingyue guessed Princess Baihua's thoughts, and looked at her with even more disdain.
"Xingyue, here, Phoenix City is ahead!" Long Yunzhou suddenly shouted excitedly, Xingyue stood up violently, and looked in the direction of Long Yunzhou's finger with excitement on his face.
But then her smile stiffened on her face, the fiery world of the West had become a wild battlefield, there was darkness between heaven and earth, endless armies were pouring in like a flood, all kinds of siege weapons were neatly arranged, and the roar of the demon soldiers was deafening.
"It's over, the demons are really attacking!" Xingyue limped weakly.
She didn't expect that after more than a year of twisting. There is no human country to come to the aid of Phoenix, only the army of demons is waiting for it.
Long Yunzhou gently held her hand, and a trace of warmth gently swam all over Xingyue's body along the palm of his hand. She looked up at Long Yunzhou blankly, only to see Long Yunzhou's face with a smile like sunshine.
"Whatever happens, at least we're back. Remember what I said before? There are some things that you will regret for the rest of your life if you don't do them. But we're back, and even if we do die in the end, at least we don't have any regrets. Don't worry, I'll always be there for you. ”
Tears slipped down her eyes one by one, and Xingyue pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.
When Phoenix is about to be destroyed, there is still someone in the world who loves you and holds your hand. Then nothing matters, as long as you have him to be sad with you, nothing matters.
"It's so hard to find you, we've been waiting here for a long time!" Suddenly, a sharp cry came from below the Soul Eater.
Long Yunzhou and Xingyue were startled, and Princess Baihua directly curled up into a ball.
I saw that below the Spirit Devouring Bird, a figure flew from below.
It's like a light and shadow, I haven't seen him when I speak, and by the time he finishes speaking, he's almost under the Spirit Eater.
"No, it's the people who kidnapped us. Long Yunzhou was shocked, he was about to arrive in Phoenix City, and he didn't want to waste all his previous efforts.
He slammed towards the neck of the Spirit Eater, and the Qinglin Sword fell into the Valley of Hundred Flowers when he was caught, and he didn't have any weapons at the moment.
Long Yunzhou slammed his fists at the neck of the Spirit Devourer, and a faint flame gushed out from his fist. The Spirit Eater let out a long hoarse cry and flapped its wings, immediately speeding up by two times.
It rushed out like an arrow, and the figure that had come from below swooped into the air, barely able to pounce on the Soul Eater.
"Hehe, boy, you can't run. The figure froze in the air, just glanced at Long Yunzhou, and chased after him again.
He walked against the wind, and his cultivation was obviously not low. And his speed is very fast, which can be compared to Ling Yun who has the Illusory Saint Realm, but he has not reached Ling Yun's kind of cultivation.
Long Yunzhou spun around in a hurry, and the Fire God Fist kept bombarding the neck of the devouring spirit bird.
He had heard from Qingping's guards that if he wanted the Spirit Devourer to speed up, he could only attack its neck, which was the weakest part of its body.
The Fire God Fist burned the black feathers on the Spirit Eater's body, and the pained Spirit Eater Bird screamed like crazy and flew in the direction of Phoenix. A long black cloud of black smoke in the sky slid swiftly across the sky.
Long Yunzhou looked at Phoenix City that was getting closer and closer, and there was a glimmer of hope in his heart. Looking at the person chasing behind him, he had been pulled away by the speeding Spirit Eater Bird by a certain distance.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, let's stay all!" Suddenly, countless trills sounded in the space in front of him, and countless feathered arrows fell from the sky, shooting straight towards the Spirit Eater.
