Demonic Halberd Drives Back the Demons

"Lord Thunder King?" Lord Yunxia was startled and quickly looked over.

Having disguised himself for many years, Xing Daozhuang had long since mastered the art of concealing his emotions. Even with a myriad of feelings swirling within him, he would not reveal a single trace. He explained, "Regardless of the outcome of this battle, this sand table is useless."

Lord Yunxia suddenly realized, "So Thunder King has already made up his mind to fight to the death, but we cannot afford to lose this battle."

"Let's go out and take a look."

Xing Daozhuang stepped out of the camp, his qi rising into the air. Gazing into the distance, he saw the Human Race army taking the initiative to cross the defensive line and launch an attack on the Demon Beast. The two sides clashed, turning the battlefield into a giant millstone of flesh and blood.

The Demon Beast were initially stunned. After all, the war had been going on for several months, and this was the first time the Human Race had dared to take the initiative to attack them. They were caught off guard. However, they quickly launched a counterattack under the command of the Demon General. Although it was chaotic and without any formation, they originally did not have any formation when they attacked.

However, if they didn't retaliate, all would be fine. But once they did, the Demon Beast all showed strange signs. Some bled from all seven orifices and died on the spot. Others swelled up and their flesh rotted, turning into a pile of rotten flesh in just a few breaths. Some, either because they were strong or because they were not deeply poisoned, did not die immediately, but their condition became extremely poor. They were weak and easily killed by the Human Race soldiers.

The battlefield quickly turned into a one-sided affair. Seeing the enemy so easily defeated, the Human Race soldiers were greatly encouraged and fought their way forward, showing a strong tendency to win the battle of annihilation.

Seeing this, Lord Yunxia sighed, "The Demon Race's fate is sealed, and the outcome is clear. Thunder King can rest assured. After this battle, the Demon Race will never dare to covet our Human Race land again. All this is thanks to the commander-in-chief's strategy."

Xing Daozhuang shook his head and said, "No, the Demon Race still has a way to survive, it all depends on whether that Demon King has the courage to take such a desperate gamble."

Lord Yunxia asked nervously, "What method?"

"Not all Demon Beast are poisoned. Even if only 10% survive, it's still a terrifying number. As long as the demon army can break through the defenses in this battle and allow the unpoisoned Demon Beast to rush inland, there will be a chance to regroup and fight again. The best tactic to achieve this strategy is to take a desperate gamble and launch a surprise attack on the central army, capturing the leader of the enemy."

Lord Yunxia snapped out of her daze and hurriedly said, "Oh no! We must quickly recall all the Grandmaster we sent out."

Xing Daozhuang exhaled and said, "No need, the enemy is already here."

A massive crimson figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield. It was a giant centipede that was Qianzhang long. It charged straight toward the central army. Ordinary soldiers could not stop it at all and were crushed like ants. Even Spirit Transformation Grandmaster could not stop it in time. The difference in size meant that unless they used their ultimate moves, their ordinary moves were like mosquito bites. If they tried to block it head-on, they would be knocked away.

Seeing that the enemy would reach her in less than half a minute, Lord Yunxia summoned her weapon, the Jade Ruyi, and said in a panic, "Thunder King, run! I will do my best to hold it off!"

Xing Daozhuang sighed, "I told you, they 'already' have arrived."

Before the words were finished, the ground below exploded with a deafening roar, and six powerful figures burst forth from the earth, heading towards Xing Daozhuang to attack. Each of them was Demon General equivalent to the Early Spirit Transformation, and all of them possessed some characteristics of the Dragon Race.

In addition, a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, its body made up of countless black beetles, which swooped down towards Xing Daozhuang in a formation of arrows.

A net so tight it leaves no chance of survival!

Chapter 691 Demon Halberd Repels Demons

Lord Yunxia rallied her inner True Essence, revealing Taiji pattern on her body, determined to fight to the death to protect Xing Daozhuang, whether for personal or public reasons, vowing to carve out a path to survival.

Unexpectedly, the six Demon General who emerged from underground suddenly froze when they approached within five zhang of the two. Some stood frozen in place, while others fell forward, trembling in pain and letting out heart-wrenching cries.

"How does the most poisonous 'Three Paths Gu' taste?"

Wearing a long, flowing blue robe with cloud patterns, Wu Xiu jumped down from a nearby siege vehicle used for observing enemy movements. Because of her petite stature and deliberate concealment of her presence, no one had noticed her before.

Wu Xiu held a delicate white jade and gold-plated pipe in her hand, watching the Demon General struggling in pain, and revealed a pleased smile, "Killing Demon Race at the Spirit Transformation level in one go is indeed a bit difficult. Then I'll add a catalyst."

She took a drag of her cigarette, then exhaled a wisp of smoke that condensed and lingered around the six Demon General. The six Demon General's bodies began to expand uncontrollably, accompanied by six loud "bangs" as their flesh and blood exploded and splattered, leaving only six enormous, twisted alien skeletons in place.

At the same time, swarms of insects transformed from the Demon King swooped down from the sky, carrying streaks of ink-black yin Yin Qi that obscured half the sky, accompanied by the wailing and howling of ghosts, as if the underworld was in chaos.

"Twin Poles Stir the Heavenly Pass!"

Lord Yunxia channeled pure Yang and pure Yin energy into her palms, soaring upwards to meet the attack. Her right palm absorbed Yin Qi and transformed it into Yang energy, which was then transferred to her left hand. This was a move specifically designed to counter single-attribute Yin-Yang martial arts, allowing her to absorb the enemy's power for her own use. It was similar to the principle of "using someone else's strength against them." If the Demon King were to activate Yang energy at this moment, she would reverse the flow, absorbing Yang energy with her left hand and transforming it into Yin Qi with her right.

Upon witnessing the Demon King's imposing presence, she knew she was no match for him. However, she had no intention of winning. She would be content as long as she could delay him for a short while, giving Xing Daozhuang a chance to escape. Moreover, the Yin-Yang School's martial arts were best suited for defense.

However, the moment they made contact, Lord Yunxia sensed something was wrong. The opponent's attack was not a unified whole, but rather dispersed into countless individual units. The insects were not illusions, but real entities, each with its own attack and different attributes.

Even within the Yin category of force, there are distinctions between Yin-hard and Yin-soft. As for the attributes of Primal Qi, there are even more. Each of the Five Elements can also be divided into Yin and Yang aspects: Yin Metal, Yin Wood, Yin Water, Yin Fire, and Yin Earth. They cannot be generalized.

Lord Yunxia's Yin-Yang transformation emphasizes the method of absorbing energy, rather than using the same method to absorb it all at once. Especially when the enemy's cultivation level is higher than one's own, it is necessary to deal with it specifically, as different attributes of Primal Qi have different transformation methods.

With Lord Yunxia's skill level, she could at most handle five different types of attacks at the same time. However, the Demon King's attacks at this moment were of hundreds or even thousands of types, which were mixed together and far exceeded her ability to cope. She could not continue and only managed to hold out for two breaths before the pure Yin energy was swallowed up and the pure Yang energy was completely neutralized.

Swarming with insects, Lord Yunxia was instantly sent flying, blood splattering everywhere. In just one move, she was covered in wounds, bitten by poisonous insects. If the Demon King hadn't only targeted Xing Daozhuang and hadn't wanted to waste time on others, she would have been half-dead, if not dead.

Facing the dark, swarming swarm of insects, Xing Daozhuang remained calm and fearless. He stretched out his hand, and a long halberd flew out from the tent and landed in his palm. Immediately, clouds and mist filled the air, lightning crackled, and light shimmered.

"Startling Thunder Drinks the Rainbow!"

Xing Daozhuang brandished his halberd and slashed forward. This strike was full of overwhelming power and domineering force, tearing through the air and emitting a sharp, piercing whistle. There was also lightning as thick as a water bucket rushing and roaring, just like a thunder dragon tearing through the wind and clouds and swallowing clouds and spitting out mist.

The power of thunder not only has the effect of dispelling evil, but also the ability to split and spread, which can affect the surrounding area. It is most suitable for dealing with dense groups. The thunder halberd pierced into the swarm of insects. After a moment of stagnation, it bloomed with golden light and jade-like luster. The true energy exploded wildly, like a flood bursting through a dam.

Xing Daozhuang crashed to the ground with a deafening roar, shattering the earth and sending the six skeletons of the Demon General flying. His hand, which held the halberd, turned black and was covered in blood, a result of being invaded by Yin Qi and bitten by insects. But no matter what, he had ultimately blocked the Demon King's deadly attack.

Large numbers of insect corpses, charred black by lightning, fell from the sky, turning into powder and drifting away. A few flew to the side, gathered into a ball, and soon transformed into the figure of the Demon King Mengying.

He rarely showed such surprise, and asked, "What is the name of this halberd?"

"Eight Clouds Purple Thunder Halberd."

The spearhead of Xing Daozhuang's halberd gleamed like gold, while the shaft was a mixture of purple and white, engraved with eerie cloud patterns. If one looked closely, one would feel that these cloud patterns formed eyeballs, staring back at one, creating an indescribable sense of unease.

However, at first glance, this halberd appears weathered and ancient, as if it were an artifact from High Antiquity, clearly showing its long history and profound sense of time.

"The legendary demonic halberd, no wonder..."

Mengying glanced down at his palm, where scorch marks from lightning remained. This was extremely rare; in the past, all his injuries would heal after he transformed from his insect cloud form into human form.

"Then you're even more certain to die!"

Countless insects surged from Mengying's hands and legs, swarming towards Xing Daozhuang. Wherever the insects crawled, a layer of the ground was devoured. These insects seemed to eat anything. The insects flying in the air emitted a series of irritating and ear-piercing noises, like waves crashing one after another without end. Even if one's hearing was blocked, the sound could still penetrate one's mind, causing a splitting headache and making it difficult to concentrate.
