Demon-Slaying Squad

The soldier at the forefront, controlling the ballista, couldn't resist firing the giant crossbow, only to have it spark a series of sparks on the scales of the Baxia before being deflected aside.

The sword energy unleashed by a martial artist can only leave a shallow mark. The fire Divine Arts cast by Divine Arts can burn the opponent, but given Baxia's size, this level of heat will only stimulate its wildness and will not frighten it.

Baxia its mouth and let out a sound like a dragon's roar, then spewed out a flood powerful enough to destroy a dam, breaking through the defensive line in front and sweeping away the guarding soldiers. The Demon Beast behind roared and followed Baxia in charging towards the breach in the defensive line.

Upon seeing this, the human defenses immediately unleashed their strongest sniper firepower, including the latest cannons purchased from the Su State, but to little avail, as the vast majority of attacks were Baxia the massive tank that was Baxia.

Even the latest cannons can only blast away the scales covering Baxia's body or blast a hole, but they cannot inflict serious damage. This is because the size of the cannonball is Taiwei compared to Baxia's volume; the damage would be like an ordinary person being pricked by a ballpoint pen.

Ordinary martial artists' attacks are completely ineffective against Baxia, causing only a slight itch. Only the ultimate techniques of top masters can inflict damage, but they face the same problem as cannonballs: the damage inflicted is far too small compared to Baxia's massive body. After all, martial artists' techniques are designed for enemies of the same type or size, never considering enemies of super-giant size. At most, they can create a ten-zhang-long qi blade, but even that length is insufficient to threaten Baxia's life.

Finally, the two Spirit Transformation Grandmaster had to personally intervene, but the Demon Race quickly dispatched Spirit Transformation level Demon General to obstruct them. As a result, the Human Race was forced to send even more experts to join the battle, and the battlefield was instantly thrown into chaos.

Behind the Human Race army, Pu Yi, the commander of the Yi State army, changed his expression upon seeing Baxia appear. He immediately dispatched several Spirit Transformation around him. It wasn't that he didn't want to keep his trump cards, but he couldn't afford to lose. If even a corner of the defense line was breached and the Demon Beast rushed in, the entire defense line would collapse. He had to keep the enemy outside.

"This must be the Demon Race's trump card. I've never seen anything like it before... As for its cultivation level, this giant tortoise probably hasn't even reached the level of Demon General, but on the battlefield, it can play a role that surpasses even the Spirit Transformation."

Pu Yi thought for a moment, then quickly said to his staff, "Hurry up and have the communications officer relay the message to other war zones, reminding them to be wary of the enormous Demon Beast."

"Here."

However, before the aide could take more than a few steps, a sharp spike bursting from the ground pierced his body.

"Before reminding others, you should worry about your own safety first."

Suddenly, the earth bulged, sand and stones flew everywhere, and a huge figure emerged from the ground. This demon was ten meters tall. Although it could not Baxia, it was still a behemoth to ordinary people. It had two horns with bite marks on its head, a long crocodile tail trailing behind it, and held an enormous trident in its hand. This giant weapon was full of negative Curse power, and the corpse of its advisor was hanging on it.

"Oh no, they're deliberately trying to lure us away from the Spirit Transformation!" a man dressed like a strategist exclaimed in panic.

"It's too late to realize this now!"

The Demon General raised his trident and thrust it towards Pu Yi. He was confident that no one could stop him. Not to mention anything else, his massive body gave him unparalleled power. Even if Spirit Transformation Grandmaster dared to stand in front of him, he would still be pierced through.

"Late my ass!"

Just then, the strategist pulled out a large sword, as big as a door, from somewhere and slashed out with One Sword.

The chaotic sparks, like a golden waterfall, cascaded down to the ground as the two weapons collided and rubbed together. The Demon General immediately felt an irresistible divine power emanating from the small body opposite him. Not only were his arms numb from the shock, but even the gums in his fanged mouth trembled.

"We've been waiting for you to come! Everyone, get him! Don't let him get away!"

The strategist suddenly ripped off his robe, revealing himself to be Si Ming.

"The Stream Vortex Immerses and Condenses Ripples!"

Si Huaruo was hiding not far away, immediately made her move. Ripples spread through the air, binding the giant Demon General like shackles.

"Asura Pardons Buddha!"

Ying Zhou followed closely, unleashing a qi blade that slashed down at the demon general's head. The Demon General hurriedly raised his trident to block, but was still forced to sink into the ground by the pressure.

"You don't think being big makes you powerful, do you?"

A voice came from behind him, Demon General quickly turned his head, only to see a large sword rapidly enlarge in his vision before piercing straight into his eye.

Before the Demon General let out a miserable cry, Si Ming unleashed his long-accumulated Sword Qi energy, pouring it into the opponent's brain, tearing apart his brains and half of his face. The brains splattered out like a watermelon hit by a spiked club, turning him into a headless corpse that fell heavily to the ground.

Chapter 680 Demon-Slaying Squad

Pu Yi looked at the huge headless corpse not far away and breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for Yan Jinghong's disciple disguised as a strategist hiding beside him, he would probably be the one who is now a corpse. This big Demon General is an easy target in the eyes of the strong, but he is an invincible natural enemy for the weak. He can kill several people with a single slap.

"Thank you so much, young heroes, for saving us." Pu Yi and the generals and strategists expressed their heartfelt gratitude, with the former even bowing deeply in front of everyone.

Si Ming quickly helped the man up, saying, "It's just our duty. Everyone has a responsibility to fight against the Demon Race."

Pu Yi sighed, "This bow is not for myself, but for these 200,000 soldiers. My personal death is insignificant, but the army will inevitably fall into chaos if it loses its commander. Once the Demon Race seizes the opportunity to tear apart the defenses, the 200,000-strong army will be in danger, and the people of the Northern Continent will be in danger as well."

Si Ming glanced at the other person, wondering if the subtext was an instruction to protect him with all his might.

Unfortunately Yu Shuying wasn't present and couldn't figure out the other party's true thoughts. However, the other party wasn't exaggerating. Even in the era of firearms, if the headquarters were destroyed, the troops below would panic. How much more so for cold weapon armies, once the commander was killed, the army would be leaderless. No matter how high the quality of the soldiers was, it would be useless, and collapse would happen in no time.

He said, "This kind of enormous Demon Beast has never appeared before. It seems that the Demon Race has been planning this for a long time. They first used the giant tortoise to catch us off guard, break through our defenses, and force us to send Spirit Transformation to intercept it. This left the command center's defenses vulnerable. Then they took the opportunity to send Demon General to launch a surprise attack. Once they succeed, our army will inevitably fall into chaos. Even if we send Spirit Transformation Grandmaster to suppress it in time, we will miss the opportunity to reinforce our defenses."

Even if he didn't attract all the Nascent Spirit Transformation, it wouldn't matter. With the power of this giant Demon General, if the person who appeared here wasn't Si Ming, but another Spirit Transformation Grandmaster, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand the full force of his halberd strike. Pu Yi and the others would be doomed, crushed into mincemeat on the spot. Even if Spirit Transformation Grandmaster killed the Demon General to avenge him afterward, it would be to no avail.

Pu Yi praised, "Young hero, you have keen insight and are not only exceptional in martial arts, but also possess remarkable knowledge of military strategy. Truly, a great teacher produces a great student."

Si Ming thought to himself, "This flattery is too clumsy. Zhuge Liang is always 20/20. Anyone with average intelligence and a basic understanding of logic can do it by working backward from the conclusion to the cause."

However, he quickly realized that the other party was praising him for his foresight, for anticipating the Demon Race's conspiracy, and for lying in ambush beforehand. Being prepared for a rainy day is much better than being Zhuge Liang after the event.

But Si Ming knew very well that the one with foresight was not him, but Xing Daozhuang. He was merely following orders, protecting the people on the list in order, and had never imagined that he would actually be able to stop the Demon Race's conspiracy.

Si Ming was also puzzled as to how Xing Daozhuang could see through the Demon Race's conspiracy. Could this junior master be a divine strategist who could predict the future with a flick of his finger? Or was it simply a difference in their perspectives? Had the other party served as the commander of the allied forces and the naval commander of the Su State, possessing rich experience in fighting demons, thus enabling him to anticipate the Demon Race's plot?

Si Ming didn't delve into it. In any case, no matter what the reason, the result was ultimately beneficial to the Human Race, and he also benefited personally. He not only made a contribution and saved an army of 200,000 people, but also saved Pu Yi's life. It could be said that he had achieved both public and private benefits.

"Commander Pu, you should continue issuing orders. Someone has definitely noticed the commotion here, but they may not know you're not injured. So we need to quickly reassure the troops and prevent panic among the frontline soldiers."

Si Ming looked into the distance and saw a Spirit Transformation Grandmaster unleash his ultimate move, gathering the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to form a fifty-meter-long spear, which he thrust down from the sky, Baxia to the spot.

Baxia's vitality was extremely tenacious. Even after being pierced through the chest and back by a long spear, it could still roar with full force. However, it lost its ability to move for a moment and could only keep firing craters in place.

As Pu Yi issued a series of orders and mobilized the soldiers at the front, the breaches in the defense line were gradually repaired, and the retreat of the Demon Beast that had broken through the defense line was cut off, creating a situation where the enemy was trapped and attacked.

The Demon Race commander seemed to realize that the surprise attack tactic had failed and that he had not been able to kill the Human Race commander, so he decisively issued the order for a full-scale attack. In an instant, all the Demon Beast either took off on all fours or flapped their wings and swarmed out, charging at the entire defensive line.

The battle between Human Race and Demon Race had finally begun. Blood splattered everywhere, and the sounds were deafening. On the Human Race side, there were the sounds of various large machines being driven, including crossbows, scythes, catapults, and cannons, as well as the exhilarating sound of drums beating. On the Demon Race side, there was the rumbling sound of something like a cavalry charge, mixed with the buzzing of large insects flapping their wings, and all sorts of unintelligible roars.
