Lion Against Rabbit, Using All Its Strength

Falling Dragon Ridge.

This is a mountain range stretching over 300 miles within the territory of Dongmu Prefecture.

The mountain range is over 300 li long, but less than 30 li wide.

In some narrow places, the distance is less than three miles.

It was like a real dragon falling from the sky, coiling on the earth, and separating the north and south of Eastwood.

Of course, saying that a length of 300 li is a bit of an exaggeration to say that it blocks the north and south, its existence is indeed like a natural city wall, forming a huge geographical advantage.

Especially on the south side of Zhuilong Ridge, there is a large river that meanders along the mountain.

Although the river is not as vast as the Milky Way, it is still turbulent and forms a natural barrier once again.

Back when Muzhou had not yet fallen, Cheng Lixue, Jing Yunshan, and other Primordial Spirit True Lord led many disciples and soldiers to establish a defensive line at Zhuilong Ridge, resisting the Demonic Beasts army for more than half a year.

Although it was still inevitable that it would be completely breached, some of the defensive fortifications of Zhuilong Ridge were not completely destroyed.

Currently, with the arrival of 200,000 elite troops from Lingxiao Palace and nearly 100,000 logistics troops, the Zhuilongling defense line, which had been damaged due to the fall of the entire territory, has been quickly rebuilt and repaired.

Lingxiao Palace will use the 300-mile-long Zhuilong Ridge as its battlefield to officially confront the million-strong Demonic Beasts army surging from the 3,000 Great Swamps.

As the Demonic Beasts army drew near, messages were re-examined and sent to Gu Jinlai.

"Thirty-nine Demonic Beasts kings."

"This is information about the fortieth Demonic Beasts king, a bird-type Demonic Beasts king."

"The second batch of reinforcements from Lingxiao Palace is on its way, but due to the long distance, it will take another twenty to twenty-five days."

"The Demonic Beasts are advancing towards us at full speed. The vanguard is expected to arrive at Falling Dragon Ridge in three days. Since the number of avian Demonic Beasts kings can be counted to be six, it is no longer convenient for the Primordial Spirit True Lord to fight and restrain them."

Listening calmly Gu Jinlai.

The two Xuan Bird fighter jets were parked outside the hangar a few hundred meters away from him, with dozens of demon god guards constantly replenishing the jets with ammunition and fuel.

"The number of Demonic Beasts kings has reached forty, especially the six avian Demonic Beasts kings. These Demonic Beasts kings have a great impact on the bombing of the Xuan Bird fighter jets."

Gu Jinlai turned his gaze to Zhang Lihuo, Zhou Yi, and Hongye, the only Celestial Person in the room. "I need your assistance to pilot the Xuan Bird fighter jet and lure the Demonic Beasts King-level demonic birds to attack. At that time, I will pilot the Cheng Ying mech to strike and kill all the Demonic Beasts King-level demonic birds to ensure our aerial bombardment advantage."

The Eternal Furnace's power was too high, and he was unable to control the Xuan Bird fighter when he used it to activate the Cheng Ying mecha.

Zhang Lihuo, Zhou Yi, and others also realized this.

"Can."

"During this period, I have become more and more proficient in controlling the Xuan Bird fighter jet. With the speed of the Xuan Bird fighter jet, it is not difficult to kill the Demonic Beasts King, but to restrain them and harass them."

Zhou Yi and Zhang Lihu nodded simultaneously.

Hongye had no objections.

"To ensure that all six demonic birds are lured out, let us Primordial Spirit True Lord also take action. At least we can help deal with some of the high-level Demonic Beasts birds."

Lu Zhanxian.

Cheng Lixue nodded. "In aerial combat, we Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators still have a significant advantage against high-level Demonic Beasts of the same level."

"Good."

Gu Jinlai nodded. "Then let's deal with the enemy's air power first."

The biggest advantage of the Cheng Ying mech is that it can retreat in the air.

If all the demonic birds can be eliminated first, even if there is still a Demonic Beasts king who is good at ranged attacks and has the ability to fly, his retreat pressure will be much less.

"Although the Cheng Ying mech is forged from immortal refined gold, its biggest difference compared to the body of a saint is that it lacks recovery ability. Once it is hit by the combined Divine Ability of three or four Demonic Beasts kings at the same time, even the defense of immortal refined gold will be torn apart directly."

Gu Jinlai, people have understood the shortcomings of the Cheng Ying mech.

Compared to resisting the Demonic Beasts King's Divine Ability attacks, the true role of the Cheng Ying mech is actually to resist the energy aftershocks generated by the release of energy from the Eternal Furnace.

The annihilation power released by the Eternal Furnace could easily annihilate the Demonic Beasts King.

In addition, his amazing speed and sustained combat ability made him overwhelmingly effective in dealing with several Demonic Beasts kings.

However, once surrounded by dozens of Demonic Beasts kings, they would inevitably be bombarded and killed.

The same applies to the relationship between Celestial Person and the Primordial Spirit True Lord, and between saints and Celestial Person.

In theory, even hundreds of Celestial Person could not defeat a single saint.

But that refers to the situation where the saint maintains a fighting distance, always keeping the number of opponents below ten, and not getting surrounded by Celestial Person.

Even if surrounded, a saint can still be killed by Celestial Person.

Develop tactics.

Zhang Lihuo and Zhou Yi quickly took off in their True Spirit forms, piloting the Xuan Bird fighter jet.

Hongye, Lu Zhanxian, Cheng Lixue, Fang Linghai, Leng Ningshuang, Youquan True Lord, Fang Yunshan, Zhang Liefeng and others followed closely behind.

At the same time, Gu Jinlai, piloting the Cheng Ying mecha, followed closely behind.

A streak of light flashed, and soon, the leading Xuan Bird fighter jet encountered the reconnaissance demon bird.

Ordinary magical bird...

Even a great Demonic Beasts- level monster is nothing more than a sitting duck in front of the Xuan Bird fighter jet.

Under the bombardment of the electromagnetic cannon, one after another, the great Demonic Beasts- level monstrous birds were shot to pieces in mid-air, their blood splattering across the sky.

Even when facing ordinary demonic birds, there's no need to fire the electromagnetic cannon; the enhanced close-in weapon system mounted on the fighter jet is enough to blast them into a bloody mist, causing them to fall from the void.

This slaughter lasted for a moment before four Demonic Beasts king-level demonic birds soared into the void, letting out sharp, piercing cries.

At this moment, Hongye and Lu Zhanxian also stepped forward to join the battle.

Although Hongye is a newly ascended Celestial Person, she has a significant advantage when dealing with Demonic Beasts king-level demonic birds.

Her every move stirred the power of heaven and earth, with thunderous force; even a powerful Demonic Beasts king-level demonic bird would suffer severe damage if struck by her.

Although Lu Zhanxian was inferior to her, as a peak True Lord and one of the top ten masters of the Demonic Path, his combat power far surpassed that of ordinary True Lord.

He controlled six flying swords, circling and relentlessly attacking a Demonic Beasts king-level demonic bird, making it difficult for the bird to defend itself.

Seeing this, the remaining two Demonic Beasts king-level demonic birds rushed into the void to join the attack on Hongye, the Celestial Person, which barely stabilized the situation.

This scene was witnessed not only by humans but also by Demonic Beasts.

"These humans want to eliminate our air power."

The Great Spirit Lord immediately understood Lingxiao Palace's intentions. "Yu Lian, go and help. Have the minions surround you and fight with you at the core."

The colossal Demonic Beasts king squinted his eyes. "There's a saying among humans, 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.' Don't worry about minor injuries. You can pounce on them one by one, and we'll crush those wars in a fair and square manner!"

As he spoke, he first turned his gaze to Hongye: "Kill that human Celestial Person first."

War Spirit Artifact are extremely flexible and fast.

However, humans Celestial Person are much slower.

Furthermore, the time, effort, and money required to cultivate a Celestial Person are far greater than those required to produce a War Spirit Artifact. Great Mill Spirit Lord naturally knows how to maximize efficiency and benefits.

"Yes."

Upon receiving the order, Yu Lian soared into the sky, his massive form resembling a dark cloud, heading towards the battlefield.

Seeing the Demonic Beasts King sweeping in with its demonic flames, Hongye, Lu Zhanxian, and Zhang Lihuo, who were piloting the Xuan Bird fighter jet, all changed their expressions.

"The Demonic Beasts King!? Their Demonic Beasts King has appeared!?"

"It was just a probing exchange, and these Demonic Beasts actually sent out their Demonic Beasts King!?"

"That Demonic Beasts king went after Hongye, so... should we retreat?"

The group was somewhat flustered.

These Demonic Beasts are completely unpredictable.

Before the final battle even began, they went straight for the trump card in a tentative clash.

Or rather...

The Demonic Beasts were cunning, giving them no chance to deplete any of their top-tier combat power, and directly countered all of Lingxiao Palace's tactics with the ferocity of a lion hunting a rabbit.

This caution...

This made the already disadvantaged Lingxiao Palace members even more passive.

"Don't retreat yet! Hongye, you feign a retreat and pull the demonic birds charging at you to higher altitudes. Zhang Lihuo and Zhou Yi, the two of you piloting the Xuan Bird fighter jets are gaining the upper hand against the demonic birds. Engage them first and see if there's a chance to kill one. In any case, we can't retreat so easily this time. Otherwise, a full-scale operation with no results will not only embolden the Demonic Beasts but also greatly affect the morale of our side."

A voice from Gu Jinlai present came through the Thousand-Mile Mirror: "As for that Demonic Beasts King... I'll go and entangle it."

After speaking, a stream of azure light shot out from behind Gu Jinlai, and his figure appeared on the battlefield in an instant, like a golden light, rushing towards Yu Lian at top speed.

Upon seeing Gu Jinlai appear, the massive body of the Great Mill Spirit Lord, who had been watching the battle from afar, immediately straightened up. "This is the strongest war Spirit Artifact of Lingxiao Palace!? That human Heavenly Lord named Gu Jinlai only managed to sweep through Muzhou in such a short time with the help of this war Spirit Artifact?"

"Yes."

Yafan quickly said, "According to the news from the surviving little guys, this war Spirit Artifact is extremely powerful. The swords it strikes contain terrifying high temperatures that can instantly incinerate a king's body into ashes."

At this point, the Demonic Beasts king quickly added, "However, there is a warning sign when this attack breaks out. The energy intensity of that war Spirit Artifact will suddenly increase and then be transferred to the sword in his hand, where it will be released. This process is very short, but if you can retreat at full speed, as long as you avoid the energy release in the core area, you can successfully withstand it."

"Good."

During his time in Muzhou, the Great Spirit Lord also learned about the characteristics of that war Spirit Artifact through various means.

Otherwise, why would it waste almost half a month on the road?

It understands the importance of speed in warfare better than humans do.

"Since we're here, let's not leave. We'll carry out a decapitation strike, just like I did when I personally killed the Holy Lord of the Cangshan Holy Land."

The Demonic Beasts king swayed its massive body and stood up.

"My lord, I will go with you."

Kalong said in a deep voice, "There is a saying among humans, 'Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit,' which means that no matter when dealing with an enemy, we must go all out and never underestimate our opponents. Although you, sir, are certainly not afraid of a mere war Spirit Artifact, in case these humans have any schemes or tricks, we must act simultaneously to ensure that we are absolutely safe."

The Great Mill Spirit Lord glanced at him, and out of caution, it nodded as well.

"Alright, just as you said, let's attack at the same time and divide this delicious human celestial being among us!"
