691. My Shield, Battalion Commander?

For a full Sixteen seconds, the camera captured the genuine emotions that the Daoist "Bright Moon, When Will You Be?" poured into the character of [Evil General Bright Moon]!

"When the movie starts, everyone will definitely notice me, right? The warlord of the Evil Realm, the most powerful villain among all the villains who appear." Bright Moon, When Will You Be Daoist Mingyue Jishi You's aura rose steadily.

Come on, Fellow Dustfall. Let's put on the best fight scene in this movie together!

Fellow Daoist 'Bright Moon, When Will You Be?' is an outstanding member of the Sixth-Grade True Lord group and one of the Daoists in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' who has the potential to advance to the Seventh-Grade Venerable within a hundred years.

'True Lord Dustfall' is also Sixth-Grade True Lord. Although he is still a long way from the 'Seventh-Grade Venerable' realm, he has a strong family background and outstanding combat power.

Even if the battle between these two True Lord is just a performance, it will definitely be very exciting.

The character [Daoist Inaction], played by True Lord Dustfall, drew his sword, pointing it at the demons. "With me here, you will not get through here!"

"Old man, you've got quite the nerve. I, the warlord, can take you down in ten moves. Men, ignore this old man and go after the disciples of the Skycloud Sect!" [Evil General Bright Moon] said coldly, raising his greatsword high above his head.

Taking advantage of the standoff between the two True Lords, the demons of the Netherworld charged toward the secret escape passage in the distance.

In truth, they didn't really want to follow that secret passage... Third-Grade Nine Nether Demons don't have much intelligence, but Fourth-Grade- rank ones are quite intelligent.

They clearly sensed that the secret passage was not a good place.

Moreover, compared to chasing those cultivators in the secret passage who might 'play dead' at any moment, there was a large group of low-level cultivators watching nearby, who seemed more worthwhile to attack!

However, the demons of the Nine Nether Demons had no choice.

Whenever a demon tried to break away from the group and attack the low-level cultivators watching nearby, the beautiful female cultivator would intervene. She would reach out and grab the demon, lifting it up out of thin air and throwing it back into the group.

After throwing the spell two or three times, the beautiful female cultivator simply cast a spell to hide the low-level cultivators watching.

Then, the beautiful female cultivator threw a clump of powdery substance into the Nine Nether Demons' ranks.

The medicinal powder spread... Even the Fourth-Grade Nether Demon, who had previously maintained their 'rationality,' had their eyes turn red and howled as they charged towards the secret passage.

"You wicked creatures, don't even think about leaving!" The [Daoist Inaction], played by True Lord Dustfall, roared and swung his sword. A sword aura nearly a hundred feet high was unleashed and flung towards the Nine Nether Demons.

"Old man, your opponent is me!" Bright Moon, When Will You Be, who was played by Evil General Bright Moon, also roared and slashed out with his giant sword. A sword aura that was a hundred feet long was also slashed out and collided with the sword aura of Daoist Inaction.

Boom boom boom~~

The sword energies collided and canceled each other out.

Meanwhile, the demons from the Nine Netherworld had successfully bypassed the 'Daoist Inaction' and were heading towards the secret passage.

True Lord Dustfall took a deep breath, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth... According to the plot, the character he played, [Daoist Inaction], was a cultivator with little lifespan left. Each time he unleashed an attack, his aged body would be under tremendous pressure.

His gaze was fixed firmly on [Evil General Bright Moon].

Bright Moon, When Will You Be Jishi You is feeling absolutely fantastic right now—ever since the start of this battle between the two bosses, the camera has been focused on him and True Lord Dustfall.

The camera pointing at him signifies a powerful presence.

Therefore, he must put on a high-level performance in this battle! It must be at least more exciting than the fight between Venerable White and young friend Song Shuhang at the beginning of the movie.

"Old man, take this!" Bright Moon, When Will You Be Jishi You Daoyou, dragging his giant sword, charged forward. The Sword Intent surged across the giant sword!

[Daoist Inaction] wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He didn't defend; he chose to attack instead! He too charged forward, his sword pointing at [Evil General Bright Moon].

The two True Lord unleashed their Sword Intent, and the distance between them grew ever closer.

"Drink!"

"Cut!"

Both sides shouted in unison.

The greatsword is wielded with overwhelming force!

A sword is swift; speed is the only way to break through defenses!

With a flash of sword light, [Daoist Inaction] and [Evil General Bright Moon] brushed past each other.

Half a breath later.

Ding! The hideous helmet on the head of the Evil General Bright Moon was cut in two and fell to the ground, his long hair flying in the wind.

Behind him, the [Daoist Inaction] coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground with a thud...

The Evil General Bright Moon, coldly sheathed his greatsword. "Old man, you're too old. Your fate was sealed from the start—only death."

The entire battle was executed flawlessly, demonstrating a high level of skill.

But why was it sold out in seconds?!

"Bright Moon, When Will You Be?" the Daoist roared inwardly—according to the script, he and [Daoist Inaction] were supposed to have a spectacular battle, right? Why was [Daoist Inaction] defeated in a single move?

Why can't I fight him for three hundred rounds, and then be killed by him in a glorious and epic way?

It's not that [instant kill battles] aren't exciting—but what fellow Daoist 'Bright Moon, When Will You Be' wanted was more screen time. While an instant kill is cool, a battle that only lasts a few dozen seconds—how can moviegoers remember him?

The battle is over, and the camera is ready to move on to the next scene.

The remaining time is only enough for Fellow Daoist 'Bright Moon, When Will You Be?' to strike a pose before it's over.

The 'exciting' BOSS battle, in its entirety, only took up less than a minute of screen time.

A fellow Daoist, Bright Moon, When Will You Be, was already looking for a toilet; he was preparing to cry himself to death inside.

*********************************

The battle between [Daoist Inaction] and [Evil General Bright Moon] has ended.

The veterans of the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' who had been lying on the ground pretending to be corpses all got up.

The Northern River's Loose Cultivator assisted the Medicine Master in processing the corpses of the 'Nine Nether Demons' on the ground. Although these corpses of the Nine Nether Demons were only of the 3rd or Fourth-Grade, their sheer number made up for it.

When gathered together, they can also be a considerable fortune.

If we hand it over to the Medicine Master to process, we can give some to each of the fellow Daoists in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' and the subordinates of Venerable Spirit Butterfly as souvenirs.

The rest of the "Nine Provinces Number One Group" veterans protected Director Jacob's crew as they headed to the secret passage to film the next part of the story.

Meanwhile, True Lord Dustfall, True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord True Lord got up and went outside the 'Vacation Manor' to assist Lay Buddhist Xian Gong in dealing with the Nine Nether Demons who were still alive outside.

The scenes depicting the destruction of the Skycloud Sect are almost finished filming, so... there's no need for any evil villains.

Normally, there would be a break after each scene of a movie was filmed.

But this scene is a bit special—these 'villain extras' from the Netherworld won't cooperate with your rest.

Therefore, with the assistance of fellow Daoists 'Illusion Butterfly' and 'Nine Provinces Number One Group', Jacob's Film Crew quickly packed up their equipment, props, cameras, and other items and rushed to the 'Skycloud Sect Secret Passage'.

At this moment, the Fairy Lychee, like a shepherd, was driving the "Nine Nether Demons Army" into the secret passage.

Just as the film crew had finished setting up the cameras and lights, Fairy Lychee happened to be driving away the 'Nine Nether Demons Army' and encountered Song Shuhang and the others in the secret passage.

With a command from Director Jacob, filming began.

"Damn it, the pursuers from the Evil Realm are coming!" Su Clan’s Sixteen, playing the female disciple of the Grand White Sword Sect, [Blade Without Trace], exclaimed.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer transforms into his demonic form, posing as the sect's guardian beast, the [Heaven-Swallowing Cat]: "Master Mute Monk, you lead the disciples and continue on. I'll stay behind to cover the retreat!"

Master Profound Principle clasped his hands together and nodded silently.

[Heaven-Swallowing Cat] turned around and pounced on the army of Nine Nether Demons, engaging in fierce combat with the attacking demons.

Due to the needs of the plot, [Heaven-Swallowing Cat] alone is unable to stop all the evil spirits!

Some fast-moving demons instantly overtook the 'Heaven-Swallowing Cat' and pounced on the Skycloud Sect disciples.

The two Skycloud Sect extras at the very back of the group resolutely turned around and took on the responsibility of covering the rear.

However, their strength was too weak. Just five breaths later, the two minor disciples of the Skycloud Sect let out screams of agony.

They were surrounded and attacked by several demonic beasts, and 'fell to the ground and died'.

As they fall to the ground, a transparent shield activates around them, protecting them completely.

The enraged Nine Nether Demons attacked the transparent shield several times, but to no avail.

Then, the shield's 'concealing aura' ability activated. The Nine Nether Demons abandoned the two minor disciples and continued to attack the 'Skycloud Sect team' ahead.

"It's my turn to go on stage," Song Shuhang.

He glanced again at the transparent shields on his two junior apprentice actors. So that's how it is; this shield protects the actors from harm by evil spirits while they're 'playing dead'.

So, here's the question... Where's his shield? Why didn't Yu Jiaojiao prepare a shield for him?

Or perhaps his shield is hidden in a mechanism within his Daoist robe?

That should be right! The shield should activate simultaneously once he activates the mechanism!

As the demons drew ever closer, Song Shuhang stopped in his tracks.

"Senior Brother Gao? Why did you stop? Let's run away quickly!" his two junior brothers asked in confusion.

Song Shuhang slowly drew his Overlord Shatter Saber, and uttered his dashing line. "At this moment, someone must stay behind to cover the retreat with Lord [Heaven-Swallowing Cat]... Otherwise, if the Nine Nether Demons catch up, the consequences will be unimaginable. I am the senior brother, and it is my duty to protect all my junior brothers and sisters. Leave the enemy to me!"

Having said that, [Senior Brother Gao Sheng] charged headlong into the army of Nine Nether Demons without hesitation.

The character of 'Senior Brother Gao Sheng,' who was initially disliked, was instantly redeemed in this scene.

"You demon, take my blade!" Song Shuhang unleashed all his skills as he charged towards the Nine Nether Demons.

At this point, there's no need to fake a fight.

This was the final act for the Nine Nether Demons; Song Shuhang was now focused on real combat.

In fact, with Song Shuhang's cultivation level at the initial stage of the 'Third-Grade', he wouldn't last long under the attack of dozens of third and Fourth-Grade demons.
