Sweeping Through
"Boom!"
Outside the valley.
Against a backdrop of dazzling light and blazing flames, a Demonic Beasts king resembling a bear-man but standing a full twenty meters tall, ran for his life with a face full of terror.
Its body was engulfed in flames, burning its fur.
In some places, the charred remains are visible to the naked eye.
But at this moment, it didn't care at all, only wanting to escape the valley as quickly as possible.
However, before it could completely rush out of the valley, a tunnel suddenly appeared behind it in the valley that was almost swallowed by flames.
A tunnel with almost no flames.
This was nothing short of a miracle in a valley that had been reduced to a sea of fire.
The next second, the earth cracked open.
Suddenly, a violent hurricane and sonic boom erupted from the tunnel in the sea of fire, even tearing a trench in the ground.
And what tore the earth apart, even carving a tunnel through the sea of fire...
It was none other than the figures who had piloted the Cheng Ying mechs Gu Jinlai.
He flew low, his back flashing with blue light, and after slaying yet another Demonic Beasts king, he turned around and charged at supersonic speed, chasing after the last Demonic Beasts king.
As it passed, it shattered the flames, swept across the land, and directly formed a visible tunnel in the raging inferno of the valley.
As the tunnel transformed into a tornado, he had already reached the back of the bear-man-like Demonic Beasts king.
"Humans!"
The Demonic Beasts king let out a desperate roar, its massive body wreathed in demonic flames, and its claws, sharp enough to shatter steel, slammed down toward Gu Jinlai.
However, before its awe-inspiring demonic flames could have any effect on the Gu Jinlai, a dazzling radiance, like that of the sun, dissipated.
Under these rays of light, the terrifying demonic flames, which posed a deadly threat even to Celestial Person, melted away rapidly, like ice and snow under the blazing sun.
The next moment, like a golden streak of light Gu Jinlai crashed heavily into the massive body of the Demonic Beasts king...
No!
It wasn't a collision!
It's a thorn!
Gu Jinlai with lightning speed, pierced the bear-man's chest with his sword first, and then, propelled by the burst of power from the eight engines, slammed into the bear-man's body.
Even though this bear-man is twenty meters tall, Gu Jinlai, who is only six meters tall Gu Jinlai piloting the Cheng Ying mecha, is like a one or two-year-old child in front of it. However, the terrifying power that the Cheng Ying mecha unleashed still knocked the twenty-meter-tall, hundred-ton Demonic Beasts king off the ground and sent him flying backward.
"Roar!"
The intense pain enraged the bear-man, which roared and tried to launch a desperate counterattack.
Before it could even raise its claws, Gu Jinlai, wielding his sword with both hands, unleashed the pure power of a peak warrior, combined with the thrust provided by the engines in his hands and feet...
Amidst the blue flames, he gripped the hilt of his sword and suddenly flicked the Cheng Ying sword upwards!
"Tear!"
Under this surging, violent power, the entire chest of this bear-like Demonic Beasts king was torn open from bottom to top by Gu Jinlai, who was wielding swords with both hands and slashing upwards.
Crimson blood, along with flames erupting from the engine of the Cheng Ying mech, rained down into the sky.
Even...
Due to the engine's immense thrust, it tore the Demonic Beasts king apart from its chest to its head. Its weight of over one hundred tons was also carried upwards by the inertia, propelling it thirty to forty meters into the air.
Throughout Gu Jinlai...
With his hands tightly gripping the Cheng Ying sword, bathed in blood and golden light, he uncontrollably surged into the void a hundred meters high.
However, after soaring to a height of 100 meters, he quickly reacted, turning his body sharply in an inverted "U" shape.
It charges upwards, then immediately turns into a downward fall.
Before the Demonic Beasts king, whose body had been flung into the air, could fall back down, the sword, now one with the human, crashed into the Demonic Beasts king's corpse like a meteor. The Cheng Ying sword, which was tightly gripped in the hand, pierced through the bear- Demonic Beasts's head at the moment of impact.
"Bang!"
The massive body slammed heavily into the ground under the gravitational acceleration from the impact of the Cheng Ying mecha.
The earthquake trembled.
A visible shockwave, carrying dust and stone chips, instantly splattered in all directions.
Even with the Demonic Beasts King's tenacious vitality, he was completely rendered lifeless by such injuries.
Standing atop the corpse of the Demonic Beasts king, Gu Jinlai slowly straightened his body.
Looking at the Cheng Ying Sword that pierced through the Demonic Beasts king's head and pinned it to the ground...
He gripped the hilt of the sword and swung it to the left, then drew the sword and swung it twice in the air.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
With a whooshing sound, all the blood on the surface of the sword was flung away.
Then he deftly sheathed his sword and hung it in the slot on his back.
"But two bodies were left behind."
The Gu Jinlai spiritual consciousness quickly flowed into the Qiankun Ring worn on his hand. Under its guidance, a special Spirit Artifact quickly appeared in his hand, which he then took and injected into the corpse of the Demonic Beasts king.
A large amount of Essence Blood was extracted by the Spirit Artifact and then stored back in his Qiankun Ring.
His Qiankun Ring has an internal space that is a sphere with a diameter of ten meters, which is quite spacious when the Cheng Ying mecha is not placed inside.
After doing all that, he turned back to the valley and extracted the Essence Blood of the Demonic Beasts king that he had killed when he first descended from the sky.
At that moment, a series of roars came from outside.
This is because a large number of Demonic Beasts "smelled" the aura of the True Spirit and rushed towards the valley.
I glanced at it from Gu Jinlai.
Most of them are just ordinary Demonic Beasts; powerful Demonic Beasts are quite rare.
Weak Demonic Spirit are easily controlled by their animalistic instincts after transforming into Demonic Beasts, but the stronger the Demonic Spirit, the higher its intelligence. Some great Demonic Beasts can even communicate fully with humans and use human-like schemes and tricks.
The Demonic Beasts King, needless to say, is almost indistinguishable from a human.
In this situation, the screams of several Demonic Beasts kings were still echoing in the void. The intelligent great Demonic Beasts had already run as far away as possible. Only the ordinary Demonic Beasts, driven by their wild instincts, dared to rush up and launch an attack.
These Demonic Beasts are so numerous that they cannot be killed indefinitely. They can be left to the Demon God's personal guards to handle. There has never been any intention to waste time on them Gu Jinlai.
As he crouched slightly, the ground beneath him suddenly sank, forming a crack several meters in diameter.
Amidst the flying stone chips and billowing dust, his figure shot like an arrow, soaring into the sky and instantly reaching a height of 100 meters.
After quickly determining its direction, azure light shot out from its engine, providing thrust that allowed it to easily break the sound barrier. With a deafening roar, it headed towards Northwood State.
This time he killed the six-headed Demonic Beasts king.
Although these Demonic Beasts kings do not represent all the Demonic Beasts kings of Muzhou, it is estimated that not many of them survived.
Upon Gu Jinlai directly issued orders to expedite the recapture and advancement of Muzhou.
As this progressed, more and more Demonic Beasts were killed one by one.
The Essence Blood extracted from these Demonic Beasts were used to transform more prospective demon god guards into official demon god guards.
The strength of Lingxiao Palace is constantly increasing.
War is the best catalyst for technological development.
During the attack on Muzhou, the Demon God's personal guards and the Celestial Master's troops also accumulated a wealth of experience.
They discovered that while the sword and cannon were incredibly powerful, when combined with other equipment, they could often achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of their parts.
As a result, a large number of miniaturized telescopes were produced, and some telescopes even had the feature of being able to connect to several telescopes at the same time.
In addition, a large number of miniaturized, portable luminous platforms are being rapidly produced.
They discovered that the overlapping signals from the Radiant Observatory and the Signal Detectable Radar enhanced the detection of Demonic Beasts and increased the detection range and flexibility.
As a result, a form detection radar that incorporated the functions of the Radiant Observatory was also produced.
Despite its enormous size, measuring five or six meters in length and width, and over four meters in height, it was nothing to the many demon guards.
Compared to its ability to detect distances of hundreds of miles and its extraordinary flexibility and accuracy, the minor drawbacks of weight and size are insignificant.
Various new Spirit Artifact were produced and deployed on the battlefield for testing, directly changing the Lingxiao Palace's combat mode.
And then there's the Demonic Beasts King...
Even powerful high-ranking Demonic Beasts have been subjected to precise strikes from the sky time and time again Gu Jinlai, and the Lingxiao Palace's army has been sweeping through all parts of Muzhou with extremely fast efficiency.
Almost every day, news of the recapture of a certain place would spread throughout the entire south of the Milky Way through the newspaper sponsored by Lingxiao Palace, which made people's confidence and expectations for eradicating the Demonic Beasts and reclaiming the south of the Milky Way reach an unprecedented high.
Sanqing Hall.
After two months of reflection, the grief brought about by the death of the True Person Wushi gradually dissipated.
Although the people at the Sanqing Temple still looked gloomy, things had returned to normal compared to a month ago.
At this moment, inside the Sanqing Hall.
The reclusive True Person also appeared in person, looking at his disciple Xuanhai and listening to his report.
After a long pause, he slowly said, "So, the key to his defeat lies in the fact that the Heavenly Extreme Sword Qi left on Xuan Yue was caught off guard?"
"That's the main reason."
Xuan Hai said in a deep voice.
As for the secondary reasons...
He naturally wouldn't mention that his master Wushi didn't have a single suitable weapon at the time.
After all, both the Heart of the Stars and the World Sword were taken by Master Wuzhong and Uncle Wunian while Uncle Wushi was asleep, using the old agreement as an excuse, and they were unwilling to return them.
"Xuantian Zun is so insidious! He took advantage of Xuan Yue's naivety, deliberately getting close to him before causing him to be severely injured by the Demonic Spirit, thus providing him with the opportunity to assassinate Senior Brother Wushi! This matter must not be left unresolved!"
The indifferent eyes of True Person were filled with coldness.
He recalled the significance of the Heavenly Sword among the unearthed divine weapons and said coldly, "Pass on my order: mobilize all forces of the Three Pure Ones Palace to search for Xuan Tianzun. Blood debts must be repaid in blood!"
