Chapter 854: While Hope Is Alive

The snowflakes in the sky are stagnant in the air, like a lush pear blossom forest, but the branches of the trees have disappeared, and the beauty is full of weirdness.

Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons was not surprised, and her bamboo pole-like body walked slowly, and the snowflakes that were touched fell helplessly, leaving a narrow passage behind Our Lady of Ten Thousand Children.

She walked to the top of the hill, and as far as the eye could see, the stagnant snowflakes obscured the sky, and her eyes flashed three times in succession with different colors, and at last, she saw the towering cliffs of Wangshan, three hundred miles away, the only place that was not covered by snowflakes.

Hundreds of paces away, on the slope, a huge white bear stood panting, and every time it breathed out of its nostrils, a large snowflake melted. On the bear's back sat a black-robed half-demon, staring at the banshee on the top of the mountain with a gloomy gaze.

Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons stepped down the mountain and walked more than ten steps away from the half-demon, her feet were at the same height as the other party, and the top of her head was still a lot higher than the half-demon. She raised her arm to hold a snowflake, watched it melt at her fingertips, and said, "The sight of Wangshan is beautiful." ā€

"I'm here to negotiate with you. The half-demon said coldly, without a hint of expression on his statue-like face.

"Let's talk. "Our Lady of All Sons is still admiring the snowflakes around her, and when she sees a special shape, she raises her hand to play with it.

"In the past few months, you have indeed won a few battles, and the reverse art has helped you a lot, but you have also made a huge mistake, showing your tricks too early, and you don't know how to cherish them, and you have taught the natural path spells at will, and now, we have mastered these spells. ā€

"Thank you Mu Xingqiu, he is always very generous. ā€

"Mu Xingqiu, hmph, the last time he appeared was in Xingshan, and he hasn't appeared for nearly five months now. ā€

"It's almost time, he promised to come to Wangshan in October. ā€

The half-demon sneered, "It's already the end of October, and we're in a hurry. ā€

"Big shots. It's always long overdue to appear, isn't it the same for the demons? We've been waiting for years, and we haven't seen anything but a wooden statue. ā€

"It's coming soon, you won't be disappointed. I've been ordered by the demons to give you a chance. ā€

"Wow, it's been a long time since I've heard such a beautiful word as 'chance', and it seems that winning battles is really good. ā€

"Don't be too complacent, Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons, the victory obtained by opportunism will not last, and the natural Dao spells are not so powerful. We've identified its weaknesses, and unless you have a hidden trick, the next battle will be the end of the demons and the humans. ā€

"Our trick is Mu Xingqiu, it is said that he is quite proud in Xingshan, and everyone present at that time has confidence in him, and I also have it. ā€

"The Mind Illusion Technique is indeed good at boosting morale, but he will definitely be defeated, and the demons do not underestimate him, and even treat him as a Taoist priest who serves the sun. But he was still certain to lose. The demons are willing to give the demons - only the demons - a chance, surrender within three days, but live, three days later. The demons don't leave a living mouth. ā€

"This opportunity is not good, we also give the demons a chance: before sunset today, go out of the lookout mountain, kowtow to everyone and beg for mercy, and then stand up and dance a demon war dance. After we are all satisfied, the demons can continue to gnaw on the bark, and we will plead with Mu Xingqiu. ā€

"Hey. Bring back the conditions of the demon clan and let the demon clan choose for themselves. ā€

"I'm not Mu Xingqiu, if you join my demon army, you have to listen to me, my choice is the choice of the entire demon army, whoever dares not listen, I will kill him." ā€

The half-demon stared at the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons for a while, turned the bear's head, and slowly left, "There are not always opportunities. Without looking back, he said, "Hope is usually poison." ā€

The Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons looked at the back of the half-demon, "The demons must be naked when they dance the war dance!"

She also turned around and slowly walked back to the top of the mountain, the snowflakes suddenly moved, fluttering all over the sky, the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons took a deep breath, looked behind the mountain, and in the vast camp, eleven demon armies came into view.

The number of each demon army varies, as little as seven or eight thousand, as much as fifty or sixty thousand, most of them have joined in the last two or three months, with the newly learned natural Dao spells, the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons won three battles and three victories in the land of demons, defeated a large number of half-demons and ice kui, the demon soldiers in the demon camp surrendered in large numbers, and the demon clans who were hiding came to join one after another.

Bing Kui's arrangement of the Dou Zhuan Star Shifting Array was originally to restrain the world's spells and demon arts, but it had no effect on the newly emerged natural Dao spells, coupled with the influence of wartime reverse arts, the demon side was tied hand and foot, and the side of the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons was like a bamboo, and it took half a year to attack all the way to Wangshan hundreds of miles away, and it was the first army to arrive.

Even if the natural Dao spell has been leaked, the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons does not particularly care, this simply means that the two sides have achieved a balance in spells, and the victory of the battle also depends on the hand-to-hand combat of real swords and guns, in this regard, the beast demon with natural strength is more dominant.

More than half of the soldiers in the army of the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons were beast demons, and they suddenly became one of the most powerful forces in the land of demons.

Hundreds of Our Lady and Descendants greeted them, all dressed in identical armor: dark red horn bone helmets, gray-white feather armor, and a bone hammer several feet long in their hands, the head of which was a skeleton, and a demon bead of different colors in its mouth.

The children of the Virgin were arranged in a neat line, and the ten descendants walked up to the Lady of All Sons, divided into two groups, stepped on their shoulders and stacked them together, and skillfully put on the full armor of the Virgin.

The same armor was even more strange when worn on the Virgin of All Sons, and her bone helmet was larger, and from a distance, it looked like an upright hammer.

After putting it on, Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons raised the real skull hammer in her hand and said loudly to all the warriors: "We have come to Wangshan, once unimaginable things are happening, this is a miracle, but the miracle is not over yet. There is a demon clan to build yƬ and wait, waiting for a human named Mu Xingqiu to arrive, it is said that he can defeat the demon clan with his own strength. But I don't believe it, even if Mu Xingqiu really has this ability, what can he do? He is a human being, and his victory also belongs to human beings, the demon clan must be grateful, and bow down, otherwise it will be said to be ungrateful. I don't want to be ungrateful, and I don't want to pin all my hopes on someone or a demon, because I came all the way to Wangshan, not to see the excitement. ā€

"The half-demon just now I surrendered, saying that this was an opportunity. This is indeed an opportunity, if the demons are really so easy to deal with, then the Taoist priests are the stupidest group of people in the world, will the tigers be scared away by rats? This is impossible. Therefore, we will face a battle to the death. Even if we have won three battles and three times, we will still die here. ā€

The demons were silent, and it was rare for the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons to speak so clearly, but the meaning revealed was not optimistic at all.

"But I will not surrender, nor will I retreat, for I am not an ignorant worm, nor a stupid beast. If the old gods were to let me endure the enslavement of the demons, they would not give me dignity, make me feel humiliated, and would not give me flesh and blood. It makes me feel pain, it doesn't give me hands and feet, it allows me to run, I can hold a sword. Death is behind me, Fears, please withdraw from my army, you have another way to die, I will only die in battle, I would rather let the demons trample my bones than be forced to bow my knees, because my legs are too long. The bones are too hard. ā€

The Virgin and the Descendants were silent, like a feathered field dummy.

A demon general flew up in the military array below the hill, and Yuwang Vadong let out a high-pitched roar, and tens of thousands of flying demons fluttered their wings and rose. Roaring in unison, on the ground, more beast demons and half-demons roared in the sky, competing with flying demons.

Our Lady of All Sons turned. Stretch out your skull hammer, point forward, and be the first to perform the reverse spell. Then he walked along the footprints of the past towards Wangshan.

Flying demons cover the sky, beast demons and half-demons move the ground, and the snow in the sky slowly stops.

The roar of the demon army came out from afar, alarming the Wangshan Demon Clan, and also alarming the humans in the other direction dozens of miles away.

Pei Zihan listened attentively for a while, then turned to the dozen or so humans in the tent and said, "Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons has already started a war, now it's up to you to choose." ā€

Xin Youtao, Xiao Qingtao and more than ten generals did not speak, and the young Emperor Ci sat on the only chair, bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked: "You all said that the hope of victory lies in Mu Xingqiu, he has not yet appeared, why did the demon army start the war in advance?"

"It's the end of October. "Pei Zihan came to see the human leader as a messenger of the demon army, not to ask for peace, nor to ask for cooperation, but to come and announce the decision of the demon army," There are three days left in November, but Mu Xingqiu has not appeared, and there is no news coming, if Mu Xingqiu fails to make an appointment, or encounters an accident, do you know what this will mean? So we are going to war today, while there is still hope. ā€

"What if Mu Xing Qiuming arrived the day after tomorrow? wouldn't it be a loss in vain to start a war in advance?" Emperor Ci still did not make up his mind.

A smile appeared on Pei Zihan's skinny face, "Do you really believe that Mu Xingqiu can defeat the demon clan by himself?" he needs help, even if he really has this ability, the demon clan will have to make its own contribution to the fight against demons." I'm not here to ask for help, I'm just here to remind you: directly east of Wangshan is the battlefield chosen by the demon clan, and if humans want to go to war, please choose another direction. ā€

Pei Zihan bowed to Emperor Ci, then nodded at Xiao Qingtao, and turned to leave, he would never miss the greatest war in the history of the demon clan.

"I want to hear what you think. Emperor Ci said.

The generals expressed their opinions and thought of all possibilities, but there was no perfect solution.

Emperor Ci's gaze swept frequently, but Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao did not speak, the two of them were Mu Xingqiu's most firm believers, so it was more difficult to choose, and they always felt that Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin would arrive at any time.

The armies of the vassal states have all been merged into the human army, and King Huaibi of the Talang Kingdom stepped forward and said, "We just defeated the demon army of the sacrificial country, just more than half a year ago, this is still unthinkable. In the past six months, we have fought all the big and small wars ourselves. Human beings used to rely on it, that is, the Dao system, but they left, without any explanation. Do you want to ask me if I believe Mu Xingqiu? I do, but I won't rely on him. The envoy of the demon clan was right, it is better to fight while hope is still there than to regret it when hope is dashed. The warriors of the Wave Nation are willing to be the forwards. ā€

Xin Youtao finally made a decision, "Humans can't fall behind the demon clan, let's go to war, step by step, at least three days." ā€
