Chapter 15: The Tiger Demon King
The speed of the monster turned into a giant beast is extremely fast and flexible, so most of the main force of long-range attacks, the bow and arrow, are either easily dodged, or blocked by the demon clan with claws, horns and other hard parts of the body, even if a small number of arrows are aimed at the demon clan, with its strong ** defense ability, it will be slightly injured at most.
The heavy crossbow arrows are extremely lethal, but unfortunately the speed is slow, the number is not many, and the accuracy is poor, so they just shoot a small number of low-level demon clans.
Hua Xia Jiu naturally would not be affected by the roar, but although the arrows were extremely accurate and shot more than a dozen demon clans, they could not reverse the battle situation that had already highlighted the defeat.
At this time, the pioneer of the demon clan had already rushed to the city, and dozens of giant apes seven or eight meters high rushed directly to the city gate, and it didn't take long for a loud rumbling sound to be heard at the city gate.
And more giant wolves, giant tigers and other demon beasts were scattered under the city wall, and they jumped up between roars, and their claws as sharp as knives grabbed the city wall, and jumped up again, so three or four times, and they rushed to the city wall.
"Spears are like a forest!"
This situation is obviously not the first time that the human army has faced it, so it has been prepared, under Xu Jianhong's order, on all the city walls, in an instant, countless spears suddenly stabbed outward, and the first batch of hundreds of demon clans who climbed up were caught off guard, either by the spear on the spot and killed, or stabbed, fell off the nearly 100-meter-high city wall, and fell half to death.
Hua Xia Jiu's head was lowered at this time, aiming at the climbing demon clan and shooting wildly, and two sergeants behind him brought a large number of arrows and put them in his hand for him to use. And the results achieved are extremely expensive, there are already more than a hundred demon clans that have died under his arrows, and in the area of the city wall where he is located, within a hundred meters on the left and right, no demon clan has ever climbed more than half. So much so that in the end, there were no demons in this area to attack.
Other sergeants outside Huaxia Jiu also have a good record, but the situation is still not optimistic, the demon clan continued to brave the rain of guns and arrows, and climbed up without fear of death, although there were dead and wounded, but gradually the human defense could not keep up with the attack of the demon clan, and sooner or later there would be a loophole, which was broken by it and killed on the city wall.
At the city gate, at this time, with the frenzied smashing of dozens of giant apes, although the steel gate is only a lot of pits, the connection between the city gate and the city wall is loose, and it will soon be completely separated from the city wall, and the gate will fall.
Xu Jianhong looked at the situation on the battlefield with red eyes, his face was already difficult to see, this time the demon clan came to attack, it was the most violent in a year, although there were still hole cards on the human side, but remembering Cang Tianhou's special instructions, until the last resort, the last moment of life and death, do not ask those cultivators to make a move. Although Xu Jianhong didn't know the specific reason, he didn't dare to disobey Cangtianhou's order.
Hua Xia Jiu's eyes swept over the battlefield, and saw that there was a stone tower on the city wall behind Xu Jianhong, which was located in the middle of the demon clan coming to attack the city wall.
At the same time, there were ten humans in strange costumes on the stone tower, whose images were very different from ordinary humans, but whose temperament was extremely extraordinary, sitting cross-legged at two stone tables, drinking tea while paying close attention to the battle situation outside the building.
"Senior brother, you said that this time Xu Jianhong would ask our Tianyi Sect for help, or ask the people of the Ice Blood Sect to help. A young man in his early twenties, dressed in a robe and carrying a long sword, asked the middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the stone table as he looked eagerly out of the city.
The middle-aged man glanced at the young man, smiled slightly, and said, "Hmph! Although Xu Jianhong is a mortal, he is also quite capable. However, looking at the current situation, he can't help it, when it's time to make a move, he will naturally ask us to make a move, as for letting that family make a move, with his shrewdness, he definitely doesn't want to offend any of them, so as long as he makes a move, both will definitely make a move. However, looking at the situation on the battlefield today, Xu Jianhong's Steel Tooth Legion should soon be unable to resist, and I estimate that in less than ten breaths, I will loudly ask the two of us to send a move, and when the time comes, the third junior brother and the junior junior brother on our side will -- uh! What is the situation-- "
Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, an officer in black armor suddenly jumped up at the door of the stone building, and his figure was extremely tall.
After the officer stood firm in the stone tower, he was also stunned when he saw everyone on the stone tower, obviously he didn't expect that there would be people on the stone tower, but after he was slightly stunned, he put the bundle of feather arrows in his arms beside him, picked up a feather arrow, took the longbow from behind him, and shot the feather arrows with a whoosh.
Hua Xia Jiu was slightly stunned when he saw everyone in Shilou at the beginning, but his face remained unchanged at all, as if he had just seen a cat and a dog.
Everyone on the stone tower couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this scene, except for two or three people with unhappy faces, most of them showed interested looks, and looked at Hua Xia Jiu in armor without stopping.
But as Huaxia's nine arrows were shot out quickly and accurately, without stopping, everyone couldn't help but be suspicious.
For ordinary people, the origin of these ten people is extremely mysterious and extraordinary, and their supernatural abilities are not small, and their vision will naturally not be bad there, and they can even see far away and see very clearly.
After more than ten breaths, everyone discovered the extraordinaryness of Huaxia Jiu.
These ten people found that in the process of Huaxia Jiu's archery, from the beginning of pulling the arrow to the end of the loose string, at first glance they did not feel anything special, but they felt that it was simpler and more mechanical than the common archery movements in the army.
But the action of Huaxia Jiu archery is very accurate and stable to be unimaginable. There is no variation in each repetitive action.
The main thing is that his arrows are fast, so fast that they are beyond the imagination of ordinary humans. This is no longer something that ordinary humans** can accomplish, even if there are grandmaster-level warriors in the army, they can't do it. What's more, every arrow does not miss, it passes through the throat, and even pierces the throat of those demon clans just now, without a trace of extra strength.
Hua Xia Jiu has accumulated experience in calculating the strength of countless arrows, and has calculated the defense strength of each demon clan's throat in his brain, and for different defense strengths, he has calculated the most power-saving, or labor-saving throat piercing data.
Hua Xia Jiu stood on a high place, and the defense line of the human army was about to be broken through by the demon clan, so he shot over there, because his arrow speed was extremely fast, and for a while, he temporarily stabilized the battle situation with the strength of one person.
With the passage of time, Huaxia Jiu has naturally been paid attention to by senior officers and generals such as Xu Jianhong and ordinary sergeants in the Steel Tooth Legion, so his figure has long been discovered by everyone. Although Xu Jianhong and the others, who knew the specific situation in the stone building, were a little surprised, at this time, the importance of Huaxia Jiu seemed to have reached the level of determining the situation on the battlefield, and naturally no one would say anything.
And the ten people in the stone building, after seeing the extraordinaryness of Hua Xia Jiu, although they didn't think that Hua Xia Jiu could be stronger than themselves and others, they didn't say anything for a while, just quietly watched Hua Xia Jiu shoot arrows.
But as time passed, two or three of the ten people looked at Hua Xia Jiu's expressions more and more solemnly.
Ten miles away from Heba City, on a hill.
A giant man nearly three meters tall, with colorful hair like an iron tower, his eyes were blood-red, and he looked at Heba City from afar. It looked extremely cold and bloody, and the horror around the body was like a real demonic aura, shrouding a radius of miles.
"Roar!"
The giant man looked up to the sky and roared a tiger, resounding through the heavens and the earth. Wherever the tiger roared and the waves passed, the grass and trees fell in patches, the sand and rocks flew, and the sky was dark.
The demonic aura is soaring to the sky, sandwiching the power of heaven and earth, shrouding Heba City!
In the roar of the tiger, the giant man turned into a colorful tiger king with a body size of more than ten meters.
The Colorful Tiger King raised his head to the sky again and let out an earth-shattering roar, turning into a huge figure that broke through the sky and swooped towards Wangtian City, its speed was incredible. The earth-shattering roar was still reverberating for more than dozens of miles, but the figure had already approached outside the Heba City.
The faces of all the human beings on the walls of Heba City changed drastically, and they exclaimed, Xu Jianhong and a small number of other martial arts masters felt a tingling scalp and dizziness under the huge pressure of the Colorful Demon Tiger King, and they were almost unsteady on their feet, unable to breathe, and ordinary soldiers even trembled with fear. And the ordinary people in the city, those who are not strong-willed, fainted on the spot.
Even on the stone tower, only the three of them had almost no impact, and the other eight people had all kinds of light flickering on their bodies, so they could not show their ugliness. One of these three people was naturally Hua Xia Jiu, one was a gentle white-clothed middle-aged man who was previously known as Senior Brother, and the other was a black-clothed middle-aged man with a cold expression on the stone table on the right.
These two people were obviously the highest cultivators present, and although the two of them were not affected, their expressions were also extremely dignified compared to Hua Xia Jiu's expressionless face. This is naturally not that Hua Xia Jiu is more powerful than these two people, and in fact, Hua Xia Jiu was also shocked after seeing the huge figure of the colorful demon tiger king and the impact of the roar on the human army under him.
After the tiger roared, it seemed that except for Hua Xia Jiu, who was still shooting with the longbow in his hand without realizing it, the other human armies lost their combat power again in a short period of time. Fortunately, this time the demon clan was also affected by the roar, and most of them prostrate on the ground and suspended their attacks.
Inside the stone building, the two middle-aged men both involuntarily glanced at Hua Xia Jiu, and then after glancing at each other, a middle-aged man on the left said, "Brother Wen, this time I'm afraid that you and I will join forces to repel this Transfiguration Realm Tiger Demon King." ”
The middle-aged man on the right looked indifferent, and he didn't even look at the gentle middle-aged man on the left, but he also bowed his head slightly, expressing his agreement.
On the city wall under the stone building, Xu Jianhong's face turned pale, and after a lot of effort, he finally suppressed the fear in his heart, and was about to turn around and say something to the stone building behind him.
"Beasts, don't get out yet!"
A thunderclap in the clear sky came from inside the stone building, resounding through the sky of Heba City, and sounded like thunder.
Almost at the same time, two powerful coercive forces quickly spread out from the stone building, and together they completely suppressed the demonic qi in the sky.
The next moment, Xu Jianhong only felt the sound of breaking the air behind him, one black and one white, two flying rainbows, one left and one right, rushed up from the stone building behind him, and slammed into the oncoming colorful demon tiger king.
