Gu Sheng pondered for a moment, and a glint flashed in his eyes. "Princess, I think we should face the enemy head-on with the Liang Kingdom army, while the Jianghu people led by me will serve as surprise troops to attack Holy Demon Race from the flanks. In this way, we will definitely break their position."
Princess Yun Zishuang nodded in agreement. "What a good plan! I'll make arrangements right away."
Soon, the Liang Kingdom army commanded by Princess Yun Zishuang and the Jianghu people led by Gu Sheng were ready. Gu Sheng was dressed in golden battle armor, shining brightly in the sunlight, and the Seven-Colored Jade Maiden Sword in his hand was even more stunning.
On the battlefield, the pride of mankind gathered together. Gu Wan, Gu Jingang, Lu Biluo, Lin Qingyu and others were all on the list. They each led the elite of their respective forces and prepared to fight Holy Demon Race to the death.
"Everyone," Gu Sheng held up Seven-Colored Jade Maiden Sword, "Today's battle is related to the survival of the human race! I, Gu Sheng, am willing to fight side by side with you and swear to drive Holy Demon Race out of our homeland!"
"Drive out of your home! Defend the human race!" Everyone shouted in unison, the momentum was overwhelming.
Following Princess Yun Zishuang's order, Liang Kingdom's troops rushed to Holy Demon Race's position like a torrent. Gu Sheng led the people in the arena and quietly walked around to the flank of Holy Demon Race.
When Holy Demon Race was still fighting fiercely with the Liang Kingdom army, Gu Sheng and others suddenly came out. Their appearance caught Holy Demon Race by surprise like a bolt from the blue. Gu Sheng activated the technique, and the vision of roiling golden waves emerged. The golden light of his Primordial Saint Body body flowed, and golden palms and fists were shot. Every blow caused heavy damage to Holy Demon Race.
"Children of Holy Demon Race, taste my Gale Nine Swords!" Gu Sheng shouted, and shuttled through the enemy formation like the wind. Wherever Seven-Colored Jade Maiden Sword passed, Holy Demon Race fell one after another.
Under the fierce attack of Gu Sheng and others, Holy Demon Race began to retreat steadily.
"Holy Demon Race wants to retreat? It's not that easy!" A cold light flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes. He stood on the high ground, looking down at the retreating Holy Demon Race army below.
"Gu Sheng, what should we do next?" Ji Yewei walked up to Gu Sheng, with a hint of urgency in her voice.
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, turned around and said to Ji Yewei, "We must stop them and must not let them evacuate easily. You inform everyone immediately and prepare for battle!"
Soon, Gu Sheng united the forces of various major factions and carefully laid an ambush on the only way Holy Demon Race could retreat. At this time, Fire Worship Cult's Su Xian, Thousand Poisons Sect's Gu Jingang, Mad Saber Sect's Zhu Meng, Great Sword Sect's Linghu Qingwan, Saint Pill Sect's Wen Mingyan, and Haoyang Sect's Lin Zhenghao all responded to Gu Sheng's call and led their respective sect disciples to resolutely join the blocking battle.
Soon, the Holy Demon Race army arrived at the ambush site. Gu Sheng gave an order, and the human coalition forces launched a fierce attack on Holy Demon Race like tigers descending from the mountain.
"Kill!" Gu Sheng raised Seven-Colored Jade Maiden Sword high, shouted, and rushed towards the Holy Demon Race army. It was seen that his cultivation had reached the astonishing fifth level of the Sea Bottom Realm. Every time he activated the technique, visions such as mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, flowers, birds, and strange beasts would emerge. The golden waves were rolling endlessly, and the aura was as powerful as the endless river. His body seemed to be shrouded in golden light, and every punch and palm contained earth-shaking power.
In this fierce battle, Gu Sheng's Grass Vine Demonic Soul showed terrifying abilities.
"Grass Vine Transformation Lotus!" Gu Sheng shouted again, and Grass Vine Demonic Soul instantly turned into a huge Green Lotus floating in the air. The lotus leaves were as green as jade and exuded a faint cold light. Immediately afterwards, the scene of the Green Lotus lotus pond emerged, and the vision of infinite green lotus leaves reaching the sky seemed to turn the entire battlefield into a Green Lotus ocean.
These Green Lotus and lotus leaves are not only beautiful, but also contain terrifying corrosive power. They continued to emit a faint green mist, and wherever the mist passed, whether it was Holy Demon Race's body or their weapons, they were quickly corroded and turned into a pool of pus.
"Ah! What the hell is this? Why did my weapon change?" A Holy Demon Race soldier shouted in horror.
"Run! There's something weird about this Green Lotus!" Another Holy Demon Race general's face changed drastically and he tried to command the troops to evacuate, but it was too late.
Green Lotus The lotus pond seems to have endless corrosive power, which continues to spread, trapping the Holy Demon Race army within it. They seemed to be trapped in an endless maze, and no matter how they walked, they could not escape the Green Lotus siege.
At the same time, the human coalition forces, led by Gu Sheng, used the maze effect of Green Lotus's lotus pond to launch a fierce attack on Holy Demon Race. They seemed to be swimming freely in the Green Lotus lotus pond, while Holy Demon Race fell into panic and chaos.
"Great! This Green Lotus lotus pond is really our natural barrier!" Ji Yewei shouted excitedly.
After a desperate struggle, the Holy Demon Race army retreated steadily amid the corrosion and maze of the Green Lotus lotus pond. They tried to break through this terrifying Green Lotus siege, but every attempt ended in failure. In the end, the Holy Demon Race army had to choose to retreat, leaving behind a mess on the ground and countless corrupted Holy Demon Race soldiers.
This victory did not come without a price. The Zhu Meng sect leader of the Mad Saber Sect died on the battlefield in a confrontation with a strong Holy Demon Race; Gu Jingang of the Thousand Poisons Sect also died together with many Holy Demon Race in the poisonous mist He died; Su Xian, the leader of Fire Worship Cult, was seriously injured. When he was dying, he was taken into the life space by Gu Sheng in time to save his life; Wen Mingyan also persisted on the front line of the battle in a bloody state.
After the battle, Gu Sheng stood silently on the battlefield, looking at the mess on the ground and his fallen comrades, his heart was filled with sorrow and regret. But he also understands that this war is necessary, and for the future and peace of the human race, they must persevere to the end!
"Brothers, rest in peace." Gu Sheng whispered softly, his eyes revealing firmness and determination, "We will continue to fight until Holy Demon Race is completely driven out of our home!"
As the overall situation gradually stabilized, Gu Sheng retreated from the fierce battlefield. He took a deep breath and released his Grass Vine Demonic Soul. This grass vine is more than seven thousand meters long, full of green, and contains strong vitality and corrosive power.
"Su Xian Leader, Elder Wen, come to me and I will use grass and vines to heal your wounds." Gu Sheng's voice was not loud, but it was full of power.
Su Xian, Wen Mingyan and others heard this and approached Gu Sheng one after another. I saw Gu Sheng controlling Grass Vine Demonic Soul, gently wrapping around their wounds. The grass vine seemed to be alive, squirming gently at the wound, releasing green aura.
"It feels so comfortable." Su Xian said softly, and she could feel the wound healing rapidly.
Wen Mingyan also showed a surprised expression. "This grass vine actually has such miraculous curative effects!"
Soon, the injuries of Su Xian, Wen Mingyan and others recovered. Gu Sheng did not stop, he once again released a large amount of grass and vines, spreading them on the battlefield like thousands of troops. These grass vines not only corrode the remaining Holy Demon Race soldiers, but also release green aura to heal the wounds of friendly troops.
"What's going on? Those grass vines are actually healing our wounds!" a soldier said in surprise.
"It's Gu Sheng! He's helping us!" Another soldier shouted excitedly.
With the help of Grass Vine Demonic Soul from Gu Sheng, the morale of the human coalition was greatly boosted. And those Holy Demon Race soldiers fell one after another under the corrosion of grass and vines. Under the circumstances, Holy Demon Race was soon defeated and fled in all directions.
In the next long period of time, the human race began to encircle and suppress Holy Demon Race. In this encirclement and suppression battle, Gu Sheng and Grass Vine Demonic Soul played a huge role. It not only corrodes enemies, but also heals friendly troops. Under the leadership of Gu Sheng, the human coalition forces were overwhelming, forcing Holy Demon Race into a desperate situation.
With the efforts of Gu Sheng and others, the passage between the holy demon world and the human world was sealed again. This war also ended with the victory of the human race.
"We won!" Gu Sheng held up Seven-Colored Jade Maiden Sword and cheered loudly. His voice echoed over the battlefield, inspiring everyone's hearts.
"Brother Gu Sheng, you are the hero of our human race!" Wen Mingyan patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder and said excitedly.
Su Xian also came over. She looked at Gu Sheng, her eyes shining with gratitude. "Thank you, Gu Sheng. It was you who led us to victory."
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "This is our common victory. Without everyone's efforts, we would not be able to defeat Holy Demon Race."
With the seal of the passage and the defeat of Holy Demon Race, the human race once again ushered in a period of peace.
With the defeat of Holy Demon Race and the sealing of the passage, the human race ushered in the long-lost peace. In this festive atmosphere, Empress Yun Zishuang decided to hold a grand celebration banquet to honor the heroes who made outstanding contributions in the war.
The location of the celebration banquet was chosen in the most spacious hall in the palace. The splendid decorations and bright lights reflected each other, highlighting the nobility and majesty of the royal family. The hall was buzzing with people, heroes from all walks of life gathered together, and their faces were filled with the joy of victory.
"Her Majesty the Queen has arrived!" As the chamberlain sang loudly, Empress Yun Zishuang slowly walked into the hall. Wearing a gorgeous dragon robe and a bright crown, she looked majestic and noble. Her appearance immediately caused a burst of warm applause and cheers.
Empress Yun Zishuang smiled and waved to everyone, then walked to the high platform and stood still. She looked around at the people present and said, "Today, we are gathered together to commend those heroes who were brave and fearless in the war and made great achievements. Their dedication and sacrifice are the key to our victory."
Empress Yun Zishuang paused and continued, "First of all, I want to seal Gu Sheng as Protector of the Nation Duke, grant him a fief of ten cities, Purple Spirit Stone three thousand coins, Spirit Gathering Pill one hundred coins, and countless gold and silver coins."
Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment when he heard his name being mentioned, then walked forward, knelt down and saluted. "Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen, for your kindness!"
Empress Yun Zishuang smiled and helped Gu Sheng up, and said, "Gu Sheng, your performance in the war is seen by everyone, and you deserve these rewards. I hope you can continue to contribute your strength to the human race."
As Gu Sheng's award fell, warm applause erupted in the hall again. Next is the reward link for Gu Wan, Lu Biluo, Lin Qingyu, Lin Miaomiao, Mo Buwen and others. Everyone received generous rewards and honors, and their faces were filled with smiles of pride and satisfaction.
When everyone's rewards were over, Empress Yun Zishuang spoke again, "Today's celebration banquet is not only a commendation for you but also a celebration for the entire human race. From now on, we must be more united to protect our homeland!"
As soon as the Queen finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers erupted in the hall. Everyone was proud and excited to participate in this grand celebration banquet.
Then came the celebration. The hall was filled with fine wine and delicacies, and representatives of all ethnic groups and factions raised their glasses to congratulate the arrival of victory and peace. The music sounded, and the graceful dancers gave everyone a wonderful performance.
In the festive atmosphere, Gu Sheng and others also relaxed and enjoyed the rare tranquility and happiness. They know that although the war is over, there is still a long way to go. They will continue to work hard to improve their strength and contribute to the prosperity and peace of the human race.
In a corner of the hall, Empress Yun Zishuang stood quietly, her eyes deep and firm. She knows that this victory was hard-won, and she also understands that there is still a long road ahead. But she believes that with the joint efforts of everyone, the human race will usher in a better future.
"Gu Sheng." Empress Yun Zishuang suddenly shouted softly.
Gu Sheng turned around and looked at the Queen: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Your military exploits this time are outstanding. I want to hear your thoughts on the next step." Empress Yun Zishuang said with a smile.
Gu Sheng thought for a moment and then replied, "Your Majesty, I think we should strengthen cooperation and exchanges among all ethnic groups and factions. Only by uniting can we better cope with future challenges."
Empress Yun Zishuang nodded after hearing this. "You are right. Unity and cooperation are the key to our victory. I hope you can continue to exert your leadership and contribute to the unity and prosperity of the human race."
The conversation between the two caught the attention of the people around them, and they all looked at him approvingly.
Gu Sheng finished receiving the award and started gathering with many old friends.
"Gu Sheng, great job!"
"Protector of the Nation Duke, the future is promising!"
People's praises came like a flood, and Gu Sheng responded with a smile and a nod. He felt particularly relaxed after receiving the award. At this moment, he has become the focus of the audience. As Empress Yun Zishuang's reward ended, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more lively. The gathering of heroes officially began, and Gu Sheng couldn't wait to join this grand feast.
In the main hall, nectar and jade liquid flowed, and the tables were full of fairy fruits and delicacies. Representatives of all ethnic groups and factions gathered together, and their laughter and conversations intertwined to form a cheerful piece of music.
"Brother Sheng, congratulations!" Gu Wan strode over and patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder, with a sincere smile on his face. "You have made great contributions in this battle!"
"Nowhere, without everyone's joint efforts, there would be no victory today." Gu Sheng responded humbly.
Lu Biluo also came over. She was dressed in white and looked like a fairy. "Gu Sheng, your military exploits this time are indeed impressive. However, don't forget that the competition between us is not over yet."
