Chapter 42: Me
The first wave of the demon clan's attack ended in failure, but the losses of the demon hunters were not small.
There was no celebration, no ceremony, just a simple greeting from a few close people.
This night, Qi Rusong slept very deeply.
He dreamed that he had returned to the camp of the Underworld Sect and was walking through the snow and ice. The traversers and demons stared at him with strange eyes, and they clutched the hilt of the long sword in their hands.
You're not a demon or a traverser. He heard the people whispering, there is no place for you here, get out of here.
He walked back to the Demon Hunter Gate, and his former brother looked at him with the same eyes and said the same thing.
You're not a demon hunter, you're not human. You're not welcome here, get out of here!
"Father!" He shouted, "Stone snake! No one responded.
A cold gust of wind swept through the back of his neck. "Master Marven," he shouted, Master Marven! I am a demon hunter, and I have not broken my oath. Why do you want to do this to me, everything I do is for the sake of Great Xia! ”
He collapsed to the ground, and it was pitch black all around him. Looking around, only light emerges from the corner.
"Su Yu?" He whispered, "I'm sorry, forgive me, I didn't even dare to admit my relationship with you!" ”
"It's okay... You won't fail me! ”
Suddenly woke up, dark tent, hard bed underneath. He had come to his senses in his bed, and now he was next door to Marvin's tent.
He was supposed to have a good dream, but despite the layers of fur, he still felt cold.
When traveling north, there are stone snakes to accompany them, exuding warmth in the cold night; In the Underworld, there is Su Yu's company.
I'm the only one at this time...
When the horn sounded, Qi Rusong was trying to break free from the chaotic thoughts.
The horn of the demon clan's attack, he thought to himself, was still immersed in the chaos brought about by the nightmare. A second horn followed, as long and high-pitched as the first.
You have to get up and get ready for battle right away, he realized, but it's so hard to do ...
Qi Rusong pushed away the fur and sat up, in order to protect himself from the cold, he slept with his clothes closed, so now he only needed to put on leather shoes and armor. The horn sounded again, and with two long calls, he hung the demon sword dragon light on his back and strode away.
It was pitch black outside, and there was a biting chill under the gloomy sky. The demon hunters swarmed out of their tents, strapping their swords and walking towards their defensive positions.
This time, it will no longer be a tentative attack, the main force of the demon clan is coming.
Who will be the commander of this attack? Who will be the pioneer?
Evil, I wish it was him. Not Rahu or Han Qianhuang.
Whoever it is, we're going to have a big fight with him, and then we can rest in peace. Regardless of life or death, you can rest in peace.
After waiting time, the disciples in the back kitchen brought warm wine and a few steamed buns. Qi Rusong took a piece and gnawed it.
"Will it be the four gods you said this time?" One of his men asked him.
"Are you scared?" Qi Rusong asked him.
"Don't be afraid! I'm a demon hunter! They are prey! ”
"Good!"
Inside the defensive line, the demon hunters propped up a column of steel basins, and a raging fire was lit inside. The wind was like a sharp sword, poking at the flame seedlings, and the terrifying orange light kept swaying.
"Did you hear that, sir?" His men asked him, and his breath was frosty.
The sound of the wind, the sound of footsteps, and others. "Demon beasts," Qi Rusong said. It was the [Giant Demon Clan] he had seen before and their [Behemoths]!
"We can't see, what should we do?"
It was late at night, and there was no boundless darkness outside the camp. But Qi Rusong could make out the flickering red stars in the distant forest.
"[Fire Spirit] cultivators, bring them here. Then go get all the barrels and fill them with wine or oil. Qi Rusong said, "Let it bring us light!"
His demon hunters immediately complied.
As the [Giant Demon Clan] got closer and closer, Qi Rusong walked towards the improvised improvised trebuchet.
The barrel was quickly stuffed into it and then lit with a torch. The wind stirs the fire, and the arrogance rages.
"Put!" Qi Rusong shouted, and as the balance arm fell, the throwing arm "banged" and smashed on the crosswood, and the burning wine barrel rolled and flew out in the dark night, emitting a strange swaying light, illuminating the ground on the way.
"Fire Spirit Power, quick, fast!"
The [Fire Spirit] cultivator hurriedly aimed at the target and injected the power of the fire spirit.
Qi Rusong caught a glimpse of the heavy footsteps of the giant beast in the faint light, and flashed. There are at least dozens of them.
The barrel smashed into the ground and burst, and the enemy camp erupted in a wail. There was also a [Giant Demon Clan] roaring, and his voice was like thunder, sending chills down the spine of the demon hunter.
"Go on, go on!" Qi Rusong shouted.
The trebuchet was reloaded, and then two flaming barrels crackled through the darkness and fell into the enemy.
This time it hit the ancient tree next to him, and the flames soared into the sky, illuminating the enemy formation.
So many monsters... There are at least hundreds!
"Woo woo!" The horn of the demon hunter sounds. The enemy's horn of attack was also answered, and not in one place. Instead, more than a dozen horns sounded at the same time, mixed with drums and killing shouts.
The other party declared that we would destroy your defenses, kill all the demon hunters, and then capture Lingnan City, plunder your land, and take possession of your daughters.
The wind howled, and Qi Rusong saw behind the giant beast and the giant demon clan, and the demon clan appeared with a sharp blade in his hand.
Thousand? Three thousand? Or ten thousand? Nothing can be told in the dark.
Before long, the behemoth was already in front of him, and the trebuchet lost its usefulness.
"Prepare for a white-knuckle battle!" Qi Rusong shouted.
War drums thundered, and huge beasts emerged from the darkness, and under these blood-red eyes, they had bodies like houses, claws as sharp as steel.
The giant beast roared and waved its giant claws, taking away several Demon Hunter disciples in an instant. Step on it. The disciples of the Demon Hunting Sect who couldn't dodge were directly trampled to pieces.
The demon hunters were so frightened that they retreated, and some even wanted to become deserters.
"Steady, steady!" Qi Rusong shouted, "The demon clan has not been destroyed, from today onwards I will watch over Great Xia, I will not marry a wife, not a fiefdom, and no children." ”
Reciting vows is inspiring.
"I am rich and prosperous, and I am not involved in the strife of the world. I will do my duty and die in my life. I am the sword of the people, the guard of the Dongsheng Continent. I am the flame against the cold, the morning light at dawn, and the shield of the Great Xia Kingdom. Tonight, night and night. ”
The disciples recited in unison.
After speaking, Qi Rusong jumped up, and the aura gathered on the sword body. [Double Dragon Slash] is activated again.
The Demon Sword Dragon Light sliced through the body of the giant beast, splitting it in half. Blood sprayed, as if a rain of blood fell.
"Behemoths are nothing but that!" He roared sharply, covered in the blood of demon beasts. "Demon hunter, attack! Kill them all! ”
The morale of the demon hunters was greatly shaken, and they quickly gathered and condensed their aura.
"The goal is unified, break them one by one!"
The uneven sword qi was aimed at a giant beast, and the sword qi broke through the air and crashed into the belly of the giant beast.
"Roar!" The beast cried out gloomily, then crashed to the ground. The Giant Demon Clan had no choice but to jump off their mounts, repeating the unfamiliar language in an unfamiliar tone. The cold wind became more and more biting, and the demon hunters and the giant demon clan fought together.
One giant beast is dying and struggling, the other is on fire, and it rampreaches through the battlefield, trampling on humans and demons without distinguishing between friend and foe. The sword qi of both sides flew sideways, slicing through the fragile flesh.
In order to turn the tide of the battle, the demon powerhouse immediately joined the battlefield.
Less than a moment later, the blazing demon flames condensed, forming a rain of fire in the sky, and dozens of fires appeared in the demon hunters' defensive positions. The kiss of the demon fire turns humans into living torches. The air was filled with smoke and screams.
The frost power of the [Snow Demon] was even more terrifying in this cold place, and they recklessly extracted the [Ice Demon Qi] around them, and guided the cold ice upwards, forming a large ice blade.
As soon as they heard them chant ancient incantations, the massive blades of ice slammed into the ground at terrifying speeds.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The loud sound of the ice crashing to the ground drowned out the screams of the humans.
Dozens of demon hunters were either shattered by ice blades, frozen into ice sculptures, or both.
More behemoths join the battlefield, possessed by special auras and become more berserk. This makes it even more difficult for demon hunters to resist.
At this moment, the rising sun broke through the clouds, and its light shone on the battlefield like a white spear with a handle. When he saw the half-mile-long battlefield, Qi Rusong couldn't help but hold his breath.
In just half a night, it was a wasteland filled with scorched black grass stalks, scattered demon flames, shattered stones, and countless corpses. The corpse of the manipulated beast attracts a large flock of black monster birds, as well as demon tribes and humans who have died in battle, lying in the snow.
Under the dawn sun, more and more demon clans appeared. Giant demons and giant beasts, demons who broke through the seal, descendants of ancient demons in the forest, wilderness humans whose faces are dyed in various colors.
At least 30,000 people... We only have a few hundred!
"We're going to lose!" Qi Rusong said consciously. "Teacher Marven, where are you?"
As if he had a spirit in his heart, he saw a flying sword flying through the sky. The deputy master of the Southern Demon Hunting Gate stepped on the flying sword, his eyes sharp. He opened his mouth suddenly, and several spirit swords looked at the demon clan on the ground that was releasing [Demon Flame].
These [Fire Demons] and [Snow Demons] do not cultivate aura, so they naturally do not have aura shield protection.
The spirit sword flickered, like several dragons soaring into the sky. Between the lightning and flint, more than ten demon clans had their heads cut off and died instantly. Not only that, but even the huge [Behemoth] and [Giant Demon Clan] couldn't resist such a domineering spirit sword.
A dazzling burst of white light whistled by, and the spirit sword pierced into the giant beast's body, initiating a sword dance.
A giant demon clan was blinded by the spirit sword, staggered into view, stumbled and rolled wildly on the ground. The body of a giant beast was suddenly cut into thousands of pieces, like a rain of blood mist and flesh falling, and the scene was extremely terrifying.
This is at least the strength of the [Sixth-Order Sword Venerable]!! Qi Rusong said secretly.
The powerhouse of the demon clan is waiting for now.
Three strange spirit swords appeared from the darkness, and the strong men of the demon clan gathered their qi one after another, and the three spirit swords turned into six swords to resist Marven's spirit sword. The battle in the air is like a group of dragons playing in the sea, and like a group of tigers competing for the peak, suddenly like a demon beast running to the front of the rock.
When the demon hunter and the demon clan saw such a strong man fighting, they were amazed and applauded, forgetting the battle array, as if watching a play.
Suddenly, Marven's Imperial Sword flew to a low place, gathering a three-foot-thick wall of spiritual energy to block the spirit sword of the demon clan's powerhouse. Then he shouted violently, and the aura shook the surrounding branches and snow flying, and then turned into countless sharp swords and slammed into the shadows.
The demon clan powerhouse hiding in the shadows had no choice but to withdraw all the spirit swords and try to resist these thousands of sharp swords. Bursts of noisy metal crashing sounds came and went.
In the end, the demon clan powerhouse had no choice but to hurriedly fly up with his sword to avoid the attack of the blade.
"Sure enough, it's him: Evil Prudence!" Qi Rusong said secretly.
