Two hours later, A Huo and Mingye Ye gradually gained an overwhelming advantage in their battle against the Demon King.
Of the twenty-odd Demon King who fought against the two of them, most of them had already fallen to the ground, leaving only a few demon beasts with the strength of the Mid Demon King still barely clinging to life.
" Mingye, go help A Mu. I can handle them on my own."
After A Huo killed another Demon King with a single sword strike, he turned and shouted to Mingye.
"Okay, be careful!"
Mingye responded with concern, then vanished into thin air and stealthily approached Xing Le.
After breaking through to the Core Formation Realm, she was able to completely control the spatial dagger. The spatial fluctuations caused by traversing space had become much weaker under her current powerful control.
Even Xing Le, with his powerful spiritual sense, didn't react when he wasn't paying attention.
Whoosh! Mingye's figure suddenly appeared behind Xing Le, his hands striking Xing Le's back simultaneously with two opposing forces, one yin and one yang.
"Hiss...!"
Xing Le cried out in pain, gritted his teeth, and swung his hand, sending Mingye flying with a single palm strike.
" Mingye!"
Seeing Mingye being sent flying, Chen Mu abandoned his attack on Xing Le and flashed behind Mingye, catching her and holding her in his arms.
I'm fine!
Mingye shook his head and struggled to his feet.
Chen Mu felt relieved and didn't think anything was wrong. He took a step in mid-air and charged towards Xing Le again.
"Prepare to die!"
He was engulfed in blue flames and instantly appeared beside Xing Le, the two engaging in close-quarters combat.
Snap snap snap... Boom boom!
Xing Le, being Core Formation Realm Great Perfection, had his physical body tempered by the rich Spiritual Power of heaven and earth for hundreds of years, making him formidable. Although he was forced to retreat under Chen Mu's attacks, he was still able to barely hold on.
However, compared to his own battles, the battlefield on the ground made him feel even more desperate.
More than two hours have passed since the beast tide attacked the city. He originally thought that even if Chen Village's defenses were strong enough, it would be impossible to withstand the endless onslaught of these demonic beasts.
Regardless of whether it's a magical artifact, Rune Artifacts, or a puppet, they all require Spiritual Power to maintain. The fact that Chen Village possesses so many powerful defensive weapons already struck him as terrifying enough.
He absolutely refused to believe that Chen Village could possess the Spirit Stone resources to annihilate millions of demonic beasts.
The Pan Emperor Continent has never lacked powerful magical treasures, but powerful magical treasures require powerful cultivators to use them.
While some puppet Rune Artifacts can be controlled by those with weaker abilities, each use of these weapons consumes a large amount of resources.
For example, the Thunderbolt Cannon, which is commonly used in the Central Land, can only fire three shells with a single fourth-grade Spirit Stone. Even if the monsters are densely packed, it can only kill a dozen or so monsters below the sixth rank at most.
If Chen Village were equipped entirely with Thunderbolt Cannon, killing a million demonic beasts would require emptying the coffers of one of the Eight Great High Tribes to even have a slight chance of success.
However, the Thunderbolt Cannon cannot be used indefinitely; it has a limited lifespan and will be scrapped after a few hundred shots. If it is used continuously, the material will likely give way after thirty or forty shots, and it could even explode if used any longer.
Therefore, Chen Village's current defenses have once again exceeded Xing Le's expectations.
He couldn't understand why the weapons in Chen Village hadn't changed at all after so long of fighting, and why they seemed to be getting better and better at each battle, with their firepower becoming stronger and stronger.
"Beep! Excellent marksmanship, automatic upgrade successful, current version 1.17..."
"Beep! Artillery barrage activated, automatic upgrade successful, current version 1.37..."
"Beep! Melee weapon control has been automatically upgraded successfully. Current version: 0.42..."
Xing Le, of course, would not understand that Chen Village's defensive weapons were controlled by the artificial intelligence ' Xiaozhi ', and that after Chen Mu's recent improvements, ' Xiaozhi ' now had the ability to learn and iterate on its own.
The defensive weapons of Chen Village were designed through repeated calculations and programs, using a large number of mechanical formulas. The materials used to manufacture the weapons were also chemical alloy formulas. With Xiaozhi's control, the energy utilization efficiency was maximized, making them ten or even a hundred times stronger than traditional puppet Rune Artifacts.
In the past two hours, more than one million demonic beasts have died around Chen Village. In addition, with the two rounds of missiles launched by the Rune Research Institute, more than three million of the demonic beasts summoned by Xing Le have died, which is about to reach half of the total number of demonic beasts.
At the current rate, even if all the demonic beasts die, Chen Village will not suffer any losses; at most, it will only consume more Spirit Stone stones.
"No! I've been planning this for so long, how could I possibly fail to wipe them out?"
Xing Le was extremely unwilling. Although he had been bewitched by the Heart Demon Emperor, he still had a basic survival instinct in his mind.
With so many demonic beasts dead, if he were to summon the divine general now, the general would surely kill him, which made him hesitate.
"As long as the green hills remain, there's always firewood to burn; let's run first and think about the consequences!"
After much deliberation, he decided to flee the area.
In Orthodox God has already awakened, and whether or not I summon him, Su Wanyi will soon notify him.
Although the god general would kill him, he would not let Chen Village go, since Chen Village was the culprit behind the massacre of millions of demons.
As long as he can leave the Wilderness before the divine general and that mysterious powerhouse from Chen Village get entangled, there will be plenty of good days ahead for him.
After making up his mind, he immediately summoned two magical spirit orbs.
Both of these spirit orbs were sixth-grade magic treasures, incredibly valuable. Xing Le was currently exhausted and had no choice but to reluctantly part with them, manipulating them to self-destruct in front of Chen Mu.
Boom! Boom!
The violent explosion forced Chen Mu and Mingye back. Then, Xing Le's body surged with blood-red light as he used a powerful innate secret technique to quickly turn and escape.
"You thief, don't run away!"
Chen Mu and Mingye both had a strong understanding of space; they disappeared almost simultaneously, traversing space to catch up.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!
Xing Le's escape technique was indeed powerful, but it wasn't very fast when he first used it.
This is precisely what Chen Mu and Mingye can counter. Teleportation is the fastest over short distances, and both of them can teleport a great distance in one go, while Xing Le has not yet moved beyond their maximum teleportation distance.
Chen Mu suddenly appeared in front of Xing Le, his Dharma Power form manifesting behind him, and threw a punch at Xing Le.
Xing Le misjudged the two men's abilities. With his old strength gone and new strength yet to come, he was sent flying backward by a single punch.
"Yin and Yang, imprisoned!"
Mingye appeared behind Xing Le with perfect timing, patting Xing Le's back with both hands, one on the left and one on the right.
Xing Le immediately discovered that two completely opposite forces had been injected into his body. As soon as these two forces entered his body, they rushed rapidly towards his dantian.
At this moment, his Spiritual Power was surging and chaotic, and he was unable to organize an effective resistance. He could only watch helplessly as the two forces converged in his dantian and sealed it off.
