Counterattack Muzhou
Northwood State.
Mount Moyun.
A column of over a hundred demon guards is advancing at an extremely fast pace through this rugged, tree-covered mountainous terrain.
"Da da!"
The sound of machine gun fire came from other directions from time to time, accompanied by the screams of Demonic Beasts before they died.
It is clear that there are more than just one or two teams like them.
"Call out!"
A figure flickered.
However, it was a middle-aged man with the cultivation level of the Core Forming Formation Realm who nimbly darted through the trees.
"Captain Leng, 6,840 meters to the west, there are 32 Demonic Beasts fleeing, 6 of which are suspected to be major Demonic Beasts."
The middle-aged man quickly reported.
"Thanks for your hard work."
The captain he mentioned was named Leng Tianfeng.
When the Gu Jinlai pacified Lingxiao City, the first batch of criminals were tried, and Leng Tianfeng was among them.
However, at that time he was not even a registered criminal and was released without charge by Gu Jinlai Yellow Name.
Moved by the experience, he felt obligated to join the Demon God's Guard and became one of its members.
Today, he has cultivated to the level of a warrior general, equivalent to the physique of a great Demonic Beasts.
Upon receiving the report from the middle-aged man, he waved his hand sharply while holding the machine gun in one hand. "Order to turn west and advance."
One hundred heavily armored demon guards, their entire bodies shrouded in metal, quickly followed.
The middle-aged man in plain clothes glanced at it with awe, then continued to use his Movement Method to explore in other directions.
When Leng Tianfeng and the others were only three thousand meters away from the Demonic Beasts's location, a small Thousand-Mile Light and Shadow Mirror appeared in his hand.
Yes.
The original mirror, the size of a washbasin, has been shrunk to the size of a palm.
Moreover, it can be used by anyone with strong mental power.
The so-called spiritual strength refers to the cultivation of the Core Forming a type of inner energy) among cultivators and the warriors among demon gods and martial artists. Their spirits are nourished by essence and energy, far surpassing ordinary people, and they can all reach the level of activating the Thousand-Mile Mirror of Light and Shadow.
Of course, the transmission range of this miniaturized telescope is limited to only a few hundred miles.
However, a miniature version of the Radiant Platform was installed on a Xuan Bird fighter plane from Gu Jinlai, providing "signal" support. Within a radius of over a thousand miles centered on the Xuan Bird fighter plane, there were no obstacles to communication between the miniature Thousand-Mile Radiant Platform and the surrounding area.
"Calling the West Twelfth District Sharp Sword Heavy Artillery Unit."
Leng Tianfeng glanced in the direction in front of him.
More than a month ago, a large number of experts in the Spirit Refining and Spirit Transformation entered Muzhou to scout the terrain, draw maps, and divide the difficult areas of Muzhou into regions.
He quickly calculated what was going on. "Conduct a comprehensive bombing campaign targeting coordinates 166 and 281 west, with a diameter of two kilometers."
Soon, a message came from the Thousand-Mile Mirror of Light and Shadow.
"West 12th Brigade received. The bombing is expected to arrive in 12 seconds. Friendly units, please prepare for the attack."
A response quickly came from the Thousand-Mile Mirror.
Less than ten seconds later, a piercing shriek came from the horizon.
Before many of the demon god's guards could even see the trajectory of the cannonballs, a deafening roar came from the mountains and forests ten miles ahead.
"Boom!"
The violent explosion, accompanied by flames shooting straight into the sky, was clearly visible to everyone, even from ten miles away.
At the same time, we also felt the tremors caused by the earthquake.
These shells came one after another, dozens of times, seemingly plowing through the woods ahead.
Hearing this, one of Leng Tianfeng's demon guards twitched his lips. "No need, no need. There are only thirty-odd Demonic Beasts. Do we need to request a brigade-level bombardment? We can surround and kill these Demonic Beasts ourselves."
"The commanders repeatedly emphasized that safety comes first."
Leng Tianfeng calmly said, "Besides, the logistics department said that they have accumulated millions of shells during this period, so a few more shells won't make a difference."
The deafening bombardment lasted for more than ten seconds, and the roar gradually subsided after covering an area of two kilometers.
Leng Tianfeng then waved his hand sharply. "Full speed ahead, don't let any fish escape the net."
"Yes."
The demon guards agreed and rushed toward the bombed battlefield at a speed of no less than 100 kilometers per hour.
This is the Lingxiao Palace's advancing tactics.
The Demon God's personal guards were in charge of the main attack.
Among cultivators, an assistant skilled in combat and assassination.
A heavily armed escort unit skilled in defense and close combat.
Those skilled in Movement Method and reconnaissance assist the Demon God's personal guards in searching for Demonic Beasts. Once Demonic Beasts is discovered, the Demon God's personal guards are notified immediately to sweep it away.
The Sharp Sword and Heavy Artillery are responsible for providing long-range support.
If Demonic Beasts gather together, or if two or more large Demonic Beasts appear, any advancing force can request permission from the heavy artillery to bombard them.
Leng Tianfeng led a hundred demon god guards and quickly arrived at the battlefield.
This area originally had some trees and flowers growing on it, but after being bombarded by a battalion-level bombardment—more than eighty large-caliber heavy artillery pieces in turn, it has now been razed to the ground, with overturned soil, rubble, and craters several meters in diameter everywhere.
Within tens or hundreds of meters of the crater, trees and rocks were all broken and shattered.
In addition, many enormous Demonic Beasts perished in the pits and flames.
The arrival of Leng Tianfeng and the others was solely for finishing off the enemies and collecting Demonic Beasts blood using specially made Spirit Artifacts.
After searching for a while, Leng Tianfeng seemed to realize something. "Wait a minute, weren't there supposed to be six great Demonic Beasts? There are only four here!?"
Great Demonic Beasts are often so large that no matter how careful one is, it is difficult to conceal all traces of them.
Leng Tianfeng quickly investigated and, after traveling several miles, a crack that was hidden by trees but had a diameter of more than 80 meters and a width of more than 20 meters, sloping down to the ground, came into view.
"This is..."
Leng Tianfeng's expression changed.
"Roar!"
He seemed to realize that he had been exposed.
Suddenly, a large number of Demonic Beasts burst out from the crack.
Moreover, looking inside, Devil Qi surges, this is clearly...
"Demonic Beasts's lair!? Even a rift in the Demon Realm!?"
Leng Tianfeng reacted immediately and shouted, "Defense!"
He retreated rapidly, quickly returning to the ranks of the demon guards who were cleaning up the battlefield, and at the same time, he immediately took out a miniaturized Thousand-Mile Light and Shadow Mirror.
"Demonic Beasts's lair discovered! Repeat, Demonic Beasts's lair discovered! Request heavy artillery bombardment, request the Primordial Spirit True Lord..."
As Leng Tianfeng spoke, he glanced again at the sheer number of Demonic Beasts surging forth, the Demonic Beasts within...
There are probably hundreds.
There were even figures of high-ranking Demonic Beasts.
It was clear that the Primordial Spirit True Lord could not deal with the high-ranking Demonic Beasts in the short term.
Immediately, he changed his tune. "Requesting support from Xuan Bird fighter jets! Repeat, requesting reinforcements from Xuan Bird fighter jets! Coordinates: West 166, 284..."
After requesting reinforcements, hundreds of demon guards roared simultaneously, forming a battle formation to defend themselves.
Each of the Demon God's personal guards possessed a physique no less than that of Demonic Beasts, and coupled with their superior equipment and heavy armor, even hundreds of High-ranking Demonic Beast might not be able to break through their defenses in a short time.
Despite the presence of powerful Demonic Beasts and even high-ranking Demonic Beasts among Demonic Beasts, Leng Tianfeng showed no intention of retreating.
Just as the Demonic Beasts were about to enter range...
"Da da!"
A storm of metal, mixed with rockets made of bundled gunpowder, rapidly swept forward.
Flames and roars echoed for over a thousand meters ahead.
At the same time, the Sharp Sword Heavy Artillery Brigade, which had already fired a round, opened fire again, and the booming sound of shells piercing the air came continuously from the Demonic Beasts' rear several miles away.
Amidst the roar and flames, the Demonic Beasts couldn't help but let out shrill screams as they were swiftly slaughtered.
Under the bombardment of these cannons, the demons' Demonic Beasts was interrupted, and the pressure on Leng Tianfeng and the others was significantly reduced.
Just when they thought they saw the dawn of victory, several miles away, a terrifying figure standing upright, more than ten meters tall, suddenly stood upright. It was like a giant bear covered in armor, roaring and releasing terrifying demonic flames.
This is...
"The Demonic Beasts King?! The Demonic Beasts King has appeared!"
"Boom!"
A cannonball fired from a sharp sword struck the Demonic Beasts king, who resembled a giant, armored bear, hard.
But as the demonic flames on the giant bear Demonic Beasts king soared into the sky, and its armor-like exoskeleton provided protection, the cannon shot only caused the Demonic Beasts king to stagger, failing to kill it at all.
"Demonic Beasts king with a perfected, immortal demonic body!"
Seeing this, Leng Tianfeng's eyes flashed with resentment. "Didn't someone already sweep through this area? How could they not have detected the Qi and Blood fluctuations of Demonic Beasts King-level being..."
He suddenly thought of the fissure leading into the earth...
Perhaps that crack connects to other areas, forming a vast underground network!
The thought crossed his mind, and he immediately made a decisive decision. "Retreat! Retreat!"
Faced with such a terrifying Demonic Beasts king, their hundred demon warriors were simply no match for it.
Upon receiving the order, the demon guards all rose to their feet.
But just then, a sonic boom seemed to come from the horizon, growing louder as it approached.
It came rolling in like a thunderclap.
Immediately afterwards, a golden light seemed to flash in everyone's eyes.
Faintly, a voice came from the Thousand-Mile Light and Shadow Mirror in his hand, which was still connected.
"Close your eyes!"
Leng Tianfeng immediately realized something, his face filled with surprise, and he shouted, "Close your eyes! Defend against the impact!"
Less than two seconds after he gave the order, a dazzling and brilliant light shone through the heavens and earth.
Even though Leng Tianfeng and the other demon god guards all closed their eyes, they still felt an extremely bright light shining on their eyelids, as if everything outside had entered a state of polar day.
Along with this came a period of intense heat.
Fortunately, they were still several miles away from the Demonic Beasts king and quickly entered a defensive stance.
The heatwave did not have any fatal impact on them.
When the dazzling light finally weakened somewhat, Leng Tianfeng disregarded the damage the remaining light caused to his eyes and forced them open.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a figure over six meters tall, shimmering with golden light, like a god, standing upright in a huge crater filled with glazed tiles and lava, amidst flames that stretched for thousands of meters. The figure held a sword in one hand.
That Demonic Beasts king who had just brought them suffocating oppression...
There was no trace of them left.
Vanished into thin air.
