Chapter 293: A Month of Hardship
War never gives anyone a chance to complain and stay.
The pressure on the fourth line of defense is greater than anyone could have imagined.
Almost every three hours, there will be an attack by the demon army, and the demon tide will be overwhelming, like a mountain range, crashing into the light curtain of the imperial guard.
Nearly 10,000 people are killed and injured every day.
This is still the smallest casualty cost that can be achieved when the Xuanwu battle array of the fourth line of defense is so dense.
After Li Changan's defensive line, a new defensive line had already begun to be arranged, and the distance was only one mile away.
Reinforcements from the rear were pouring in.
However, the battle array in front of him was extremely consumed, and there was no time to even repair the formation disk of the Xuanwu battle array.
The air was filled with a strong demonic aura and bloody aura, which made people almost collapse.
Even the clouds in mid-air took on an eerie purple-red color.
The power of heaven and earth on the three-thousand-mile battlefield has been completely polluted by demonic energy.
The scribes and warriors on the battlefield can only be restored with Wen Jing or True Yuan Stone.
The cost of battle damage is enormous.
Li Changan didn't have such worries, even if it was a demon pill, he could devour it.
At this time, he was staring at the demon clan army that was ten miles ahead, covering the sky and the sun, and was attacking the imperial guard light curtain day and night.
"The demon clan deliberately kept these corpses in order to pollute the power of heaven and earth on the battlefield of three thousand miles, so that we had to consume the True Yuan Stone and Wen Jing to recover."
Zhou Ziyu held the True Yuan Stone in his hand and spat on it.
After fighting on the battlefield for 3,000 miles for so long, his fighting experience has improved rapidly.
Coupled with the almost non-stop supply of True Yuan Stones, he rushed to the level of the seventh-rank peak martial artist in a short period of time.
Annan also held Wen Jing in his hand, ready to stimulate the Xuanwu battle array, "It is estimated that the front line of defense will soon be unable to hold on." ”
"At this time, I can't go back anymore, if I'm sure I'll go up." Zhou Ziyu carried a spear on his shoulder.
"I should let you be the main general, and have a decisive battle with the demon clan!" Annan said.
At this moment, a rapid war drum sounded.
Li Changan immediately pulled out the Hengyue knife, and Zhou Ziyu immediately clenched the spear.
"Finally, a bloody order has arrived!" Zhou Ziyu shouted at Li Changan.
"Let's go! Change guards. Li Changan let out a low shout, and the three of them immediately rushed forward.
The new line of defense behind him has been arranged, and now rushing up to resist the change of defense will have something to rely on.
In case there is a mistake in changing the defense, it is likely to cause the entire line of the Imperial Guard Light Curtain to collapse.
You can't make the slightest mistake.
Now that there is support, the order to go up immediately spreads throughout the second line of defense.
Hundreds of thousands of scribes and warriors, almost instantly, rushed forward.
At the front line, a group of scribes and warriors stepped up, while the rest quickly retreated to the second line of defense to complete the rotation.
Li Changan clenched the Hengyue knife in his hand, looked at the demon army close at hand, and couldn't help but tighten his throat.
Too much.
Densely covered the sky, the hideous and ugly appearance was clearly visible, and people almost wanted to vomit when they saw it.
"Brother Li, don't be afraid, I'll protect you later." Annan's voice came from behind him.
Li Changan turned his head, glanced at his face that was obviously brighter than when he first saw it, his eyes stayed on the slightly curled chin that looked like a fox, and then smiled,
"Protect me? Rest assured, you don't have this opportunity. ”
Annan was a little flustered by Li Changan's eyes, "You...... Just wait. ”
Li Changan shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to stare ahead, "If you can't hold it later, you must say it, strong support will only cause big problems." ”
"Don't mess with grammar, save a little literary atmosphere."
"With me and Brother Zhou here, it is generally not your turn to make a move."
"Long-winded." Annan rolled his eyes at Li Changan's back.
Zhou Ziyu smiled at Li Changan, "Brother Li can learn from me later!" ”
Li Changan pulled the corners of his mouth, "Okay, Teach Zhou." ”
"That's a good name." Zhou Ziyu laughed and said, "When I go back, I must get a teaching." ”
A fierce battle is just around the corner.
Endless pressure weighs on everyone's hearts.
After such a gag, Li Changan's nervousness finally dissipated a little.
"Ready!"
"The scribes go to the rotation first!"
"Takefu keep up!"
……
Shi Chang's voice exploded not far away.
Even more terrifying pressure, the tide of pressure dropped.
"Ready!"
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
……
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Change!"
Before the words fell, Annan rushed out first.
When the replacement of scribes was completed, there was no problem with the Imperial Guard Light Curtain, and after the scribes in front retreated, the warriors behind instantly rushed forward.
Li Changan nodded at Zhou Ziyu, and the two quickly swept forward.
"Roar!"
"Wow!"
……
The roar of the demon clan army rushed directly in front of him, and Li Changan could even smell the stench of these demon clans.
A huge black bear that was a foot tall saw half of its body squeezing into the light curtain of the Imperial Guard.
The rising brilliance sliced wildly through its body, blood gushing wildly.
Behind the black bear, one demon after another crashed into it, slamming it into the Imperial Guard's light curtain.
The black bear's body was covered with wounds, drenched in blood, and such injuries completely aroused its ferocity, shook its body, and roared at Annan and pounced.
"Poof!"
With a sharp knife, the huge body of the black bear was cut in two like a cloth bag.
Li Changan inserted the corpse with one hand, grabbed the demon pill and put it into the Sumeru treasure bag, and then threw the black bear's corpse out and smashed it on the wild boar demon who rushed in.
The whole action is smooth, and it is just a blink of an eye.
On the battlefield, no one noticed Li Changan's action of catching the demon pill at all.
Li Chang'an exerted force at his feet, and the Hengyue knife was inserted into the mouth of the angry wild boar demon, slightly to the right.
With the help of the boar demon's powerful inertia, the boar demon was directly cut in two.
"All of them are in the early stage of the seventh grade, and even the demon pill has just been condensed." Li Changan felt the demon pill in his hand and pursed his lips unhappily.
These demon clans, relying on the tactics of the demon sea, really broke ten thousand laws with one force.
The Imperial Guard Light Curtain is still strong, and basically for every hundred demon clans, only two or three rush in.
But the number of demon clans that can't resist is too much, so many that it makes people's scalps tingle.
The knife in Li Changan's hand rarely stopped, and his body was quickly stained red by the blood of the demon clan.
One by one, the demon clan was hacked to death, and the demon clan behind rushed in one after another.
Zhou Ziyu's spear was also replaced with a horse chopping knife.
More and more demon corpses were piled up underfoot.
The earth rumbled and trembled, and there were earth dragons trying to get in, but they were blocked by the light curtain of the guardian.
Had to rush from the front.
Li Changan stabbed out the imperial guard light curtain with a knife, and the whole person rushed forward instantly, and half of his body rushed out.
The sword light rose from the Hengyue knife, and the two-zhang long earth dragon was split vertically in half from the middle.
Then, when the other demon clans rushed over, they retreated to the Imperial Guardian Light Curtain.
"You don't want to die!?" Zhou Ziyu shouted at Li Changan.
"This kind of thing is too annoying, and the sooner you die, the better." Li Changan shook off the dirty blood on the Hengyue knife.
Under the joint efforts of the two, hundreds of demon clans can't even get close to Annan.
The fight is from dawn to twilight.
The demon army finally slowly retreated.
Li Changan let out a sigh of relief, looked at the demon clan army that receded like a tide, shook off the blood stains on the Hengyue knife, and put the knife into the sheath.
Finally...... Blocked a wave of attacks.
Zhou Ziyu next to him sat directly on the ground, ignoring the same blood on the ground, grabbing the True Yuan Stone and starting to recover.
Li Changan looked at Annan behind him and smiled.
Annan leaned on the Xuanwu battle array, and a smile appeared on his face.
"This is called brotherhood, and its profit is gold." Zhou Ziyu smiled happily.
Li Changan examined the corpses of the demon clan one by one, and then threw out the Imperial Guard Light Curtain.
After cleaning up, he leaned on the mound next to the imperial light curtain at will, holding the Yokogaku knife and putting his hands in his arms.
Most of the martial artists are also similar movements.
But Li Changan was already holding two demon pills in his hands.
"Dragon Elephant Xuangong" quietly operated, and the demonic power in the demon pill quickly poured into the body along the palm of the hand, accumulating strength for opening the next acupoint.
The closer you get to the front line, the stronger the demonic power becomes, and even if there is demonic energy on your body, you will not be suspicious.
The twenty-seven dragon elephant inner pills in the body continued to rotate, and the black martial arts true qi surging in the body, devouring all the demonic purple medicinal power.
……
The attack of the demon army was extremely regular, as if there was no end.
Casualties on the front line are growing.
Li Changan cooperated with Zhou Ziyu and Annan to take turns to replace the defense together.
I was a little nervous at the beginning, but later I became accustomed to it, and even a little numb.
Every time he blocks the attack of the demon army, it is the time for him to harvest.
I don't dare to say that I can harvest hundreds of demon pills every time.
To others, the demon pill is nothing less than poison, but to Li Changan, it is a cultivation treasure medicine.
——————
Half a month later,
Li Changan rotated from the front line, and the palm in his arms was always holding the demon pill.
The demon power in the five demon pills in a row was devoured, and the demon pills shattered in response to the sound and turned into slag.
Li Changan's body trembled slightly, and in the depths of those deep Danfeng eyes, the demonic purple flashed away.
The fortieth acupuncture point, open.
Streams of power are surging in the body.
A brand-new black dragon elephant Neidan quietly took shape, and quickly devoured the demonic power, growing stronger.
The forty dragon elephant inner pills were scattered in the forty acupuncture points all over the body, constantly cleansing the true qi of the martial arts, and quietly improving Li Changan's physical physique.
The power of forty acupuncture points, without relying on the grammar of warfare, has a huge strength of 4,500 catties in the physical body alone.
Although the breath of "Dragon Elephant Xuangong" is still in the middle of the seventh grade.
But it can already be compared to the peak of the average seven-grade, and even surpasses.
The improvement of the foundation has made Li Changan's combat power rise again.
On the sheep fat jade book, the number of combat power of the wind slashing sword intent has become "forty-one", which can be regarded as entering the early stage of the sixth grade.
It is comparable to the combat power of the ordinary Yellow Order Tianjiao.
The killing intent arrows are advancing by leaps and bounds.
The demon clan that died in his hands for more than half a month, tens of thousands, and the killing intent piled up was even more unimaginable.
Ten silver killing intent arrows have been condensed, and the combat power number on the sheep fat jade book has also reached "forty-three".
is no longer just worthy of the combat power of the early stage of the sixth product, and when fused together, it is enough to burst out of the extreme combat power of the early stage of the sixth product.
In the Yellow Rank Tianjiao, it can be called invincible.
Further up, it is the level of Xuanjie Tianjiao.
"Brother Li...... What happened just now? Annan, who had paid most of his attention to Li Changan, asked in surprise.
"Nothing." Li Changan smiled and shook his head, "I'm pondering the knife technique, and I'm a little distracted." ”
"It's worthy of Brother Li, with this kind of cultivation momentum, it's no wonder that he is advancing by leaps and bounds." Zhou Ziyu leaned over and hugged Li Changan's shoulders.
The trio retreated to the back to trim up.
The front line is already in full swing, ready to meet the next wave of demon army attacks.
"In the past half a month, 30,000 have died, 50,000 have been seriously injured, and 100,000 have been lightly injured.
Takeo said softly not far away.
"There are reinforcements in the back, and in the past half a month, the fourth line of defense has been rock-solid, and there have been no problems." Other Takeo said.
"I'm talking about supplies, Zhenyuan Shi Wenjing, which one is not expensive?"
"At least we can make it up for now, and we'll talk about it when we can't make it up."
"Don't be heard by the centurion, be careful of the whip."
……
The pressure on the front line is increasing, and more and more people are being carried down from the front line every day.
Although reinforcements in the rear have never stopped.
But everyone knows that if you continue to fight like this, the first one who can't hold it out must be Dajin.
Compared with the number of demon clans, it is simply self-defeating.
Even though the number of Xuanwu battle arrays has been densely reduced to one battle array every five, the speed at which the army is being eaten away has not decreased.
The atmosphere in the army became more and more oppressive, so oppressive that he did not even have the strength to speak.
just listened to the order, rushed forward again and again, and removed the comrades who had fought for a while.
Either die there, or live to wait for the next group of soldiers to take their place.
This kind of hopeless perseverance makes people feel unprecedented tiredness both mentally and physically.
But they couldn't go back.
After that, it's really going to be the final Armageddon.
And the so-called Armageddon is just a desperate fight for the Great Jin, and nine out of nine will be defeated.
Marvel...... It doesn't seem to exist.
……
Another half a month,
Li Changan took Annan off the Xuanwu battle formation from the front line, "You have to rest for two days, and you don't want to go on the next rotation." ”
"No ......"
As soon as Annan was about to refute, he was stunned by Li Changan's eyes.
"I said, let the other scribes control the Xuanwu battle array for you." After Li Changan finished speaking, he took out a piece of Wenjing and stuffed it into Annan's hand.
Then he pinched Annan's chin and poured two drops of ice pulp into it.
"You ......" Annan wanted to resist, but in front of Li Changan, this bit of strength was not enough at all.
Annan wanted to bite Li Changan angrily, but Li Changan held his head down, "Why are you like a girl, you always like to bite?" Let you rest, and not kill you! ”
Annan's eyes were red, and he just stared at Li Changan.
Li Changan simply turned his head, leaned to the side, poured a drop of golden body liquid into his mouth, and began to refine his flesh.
The further back the acupuncture goes, the more difficult it is to open, even if the number of demon pills is sufficient, it is difficult to be as powerful as before.
And the more acupuncture points are opened, the higher the requirements for the physical body.
In the next half month, he only opened up nine acupuncture points, and he couldn't continue.
The physical body seems to have temporarily reached a limit, and if you forcibly open up the acupuncture points again, I am afraid that the physical body will collapse directly.
Although the speed of the forty-nine dragon elephants in cultivating the flesh and body was far superior to that of the martial artists of the same generation, it was still insufficient.
So recently, Li Changan began to use the golden body liquid to temper his body.
Wait until the physical body has been improved, and then continue to open up the acupuncture.
If there is a Jizo Red Blood Pill, it is the best, this is a pure Qi and Blood Elixir, which is the most suitable for improving the physical body and enhancing the power of Qi and blood.
But it's a pity that in such a situation, wanting to arrange the alchemy formation is tantamount to a fool's dream.
In this half-month of cultivation, a total of forty-nine dragon elephant inner pills have been cultivated, which has provided Li Changan with an extremely profound foundation.
The Killing Intent Arrows broke through again, smelting a full sixteen Silver Killing Intent Arrows, and the ultimate combat power had reached the mid-sixth grade level, but there was only one blow in an hour.
If it is dispersed into sixteen silver killing intent arrows, then it will only have the initial combat power of the sixth grade, but it can shoot sixteen consecutive arrows.
In addition, the Wind Chopping Knife Intent has also entered the extreme combat power of the early stage of the Sixth Grade.
The improvement is extremely noticeable.
It's just that next, such a high-speed improvement will be completely slowed down.
The focus should be shifted to the physical body.
That's the foundation of the foundation.
Zhou Ziyu leaned next to Li Changan, his eyes were dim and a little confused, "What should we do?" ”
"It's been blocked for so long, but ...... But it's even more desperate. ”
"There are too many demon armies...... We have more than 300,000 casualties, and even if we have reinforcements, there is still no hope. ”
Li Changan grabbed Zhou Ziyu's shoulder and patted it, "There will be a way." ”
Then he took Annan again, "No matter how bad it is, I will bring you all back." ”
"Even if I go back, what will I do with this battle?" Annan closed his eyes and leaned weakly on Li Changan's shoulder.
Li Changan looked at the front line and said what he had been pondering recently, "If you can't fight the frontal battlefield, is it possible to go around behind enemy lines?" ”
"If you can't fight the frontal battlefield, what's the use of going behind enemy lines?" Zhou Ziyu asked.
Li Changan slowly said three words,
"Fight guerrillas!"
