"Prepare for war!"
Accompanied by the sound of horns and drums, soldiers in the distance charged toward the city wall.
At that moment, countless arrows rained down in unison towards the front.
A series of muffled thuds rang out as many of the soldiers in front were riddled with arrows, but they continued charging toward the city wall without the slightest pause.
"Weren't we supposed to apply cinnabar? Why wasn't it applied?"
Upon seeing this, the squad leader who was supervising the troops roared in exasperation.
Before the battle, I instructed my soldiers to apply cinnabar to the arrows, so why aren't there any cinnabar on them?
Without even cinnabar, how could they possibly injure these soldiers?
Upon hearing this, the archer tensed up and quickly dipped his arrow in cinnabar.
"My lord, last night's heavy rain washed away the cinnabar that had gotten on my skin beforehand."
Upon hearing this, the corporal clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and chose not to continue his outburst.
At this point, eliminating the enemy is the priority, and we can't keep undermining morale like this.
"Check your weapons and apply cinnabar!"
At this moment, the supervising officer quickly walked past the soldiers one by one, constantly reminding them.
At this moment, the archers dared not hesitate any longer. They quickly applied more cinnabar, then drew their bows, nocked arrows, and shot forward.
This time it finally worked.
When the arrows stained with cinnabar struck the enemy, a crimson light emanated from their bodies, and the soldiers fell silently to the ground.
Even so, the army behind them ignored them and continued to advance.
"Put!"
The archers continued to draw their bows and nock their arrows, and with a command, countless arrows rained down on the front.
The demons hiding in the shadows, however, paid no heed to this.
It doesn't matter how many of these low-level thugs die; once the city is breached, we can easily replenish our ranks.
Moreover, the guys in this city can't kill many zombie soldiers.
The demons' gazes were now fixed on the City God and the Yin God in the city.
These are the guys they're targeting.
"Let's break through the city first. We can leave those lowly ants to the corpse soldiers, and we'll deal with the City God and all those other Yin spirits."
Through the hazy mist, seeing the army about to reach the city walls, Devil Cultivator immediately spoke up.
Normally, they don't take action much.
Occasionally, when I don't want to wait and want to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, or when I'm craving something from the city's residents, I might become a little impatient.
At this moment, the Devil Cultivator was giving orders to the great demon standing to the side.
With the opponent's intervention, breaching a city wall is quite simple.
The demon standing to the side, a tiger demon who had attained enlightenment, possessed considerable brute strength.
Hearing the Devil Cultivator's orders, the tiger demon dared not refuse and transformed into human form after responding.
Then, he spotted a mountain peak to the side, bent over slightly, and his body instantly began to swell and grow larger.
In just a few breaths, it had already grown to the size of a mountain.
The tiger demon came to the mountain and, seeing that the mountain was even shorter than itself, reached out and picked it up.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar shook the earth, and the next moment the tiger demon cleaved the mountain in half and carried it over its head.
He then turned and looked directly at the city wall in the distance.
The soldiers on the city wall, who were still preparing to throw cinnabar, menstrual blood, and other items to ward off evil spirits, suddenly felt a darkness ahead.
Then they witnessed a scene that made their legs go weak.
Such a mountain, such a colossal object—if it were to crash down upon us, how could we possibly survive?
Thinking of this, all the soldiers couldn't help but swallow hard.
"How can we stop this? I've heard that many cities have been destroyed by such methods before."
At this moment, a subordinate general murmured something, his body weakening slightly.
He was absolutely certain that if such a mountain were to crash down on them, they would have no chance of survival.
The old Daoist priest, watching this scene, reached into his robes and solemnly took out a talisman.
Right now, only his talisman can probably withstand this attack.
Thinking of this, the old Daoist priest no longer hesitated. He bit his finger and then gently touched the talisman.
He didn't know the name of the talisman that was mixed in with the nameless booklet.
It only says that if one encounters an invincible demon, it might save one's life.
The blood from his fingertip had just stained the talisman when, in the next moment, the talisman swelled up in the wind.
Then, with flashes of spiritual light, the talisman transformed into a long sword.
Immediately, the longsword seemed to sense the overwhelming demonic energy in the distance and acted without hesitation.
The talisman was then slashed down at the tiger demon in the distance.
"This is... a brat from the immortal sect?"
Suddenly, they saw an extremely dense fluctuation of Law Power ahead, and then a long sword appeared out of nowhere.
The demons in the army were all stunned for a moment upon seeing this, and then looked ahead with a hint of suspicion.
At this moment, they were all somewhat puzzled, and also a little curious.
Logically speaking, after they have wreaked havoc in the mortal realm for so long, people from the immortal sects should have appeared by now.
But we haven't encountered them yet. After thinking about it, it's probably because they acted too quickly, and the people from the immortal sect didn't notice.
Seeing it now seems only natural.
However, if members of the immortal sects interfere in this battle, then they should be careful.
I've heard that the youngsters of those immortal sects all possess a Law Treasure called the Demon-Slaying Gourd.
That Demon-Slaying Gourd is incredibly powerful; I've heard it has already slain countless demons.
No demon can survive when the Demon-Slaying Gourd strikes.
Upon realizing this, all the fairies felt a chill run down their spines.
The Devil Cultivator didn't seem to care much about this.
In their view, since the Demon-Slaying Gourd was supposed to slay demons, it probably wouldn't be of much use to them.
Moreover, their cultivation is far superior to that of these demons, so there's no need to worry too much.
With this in mind, the Devil Cultivator remained remarkably calm.
However, with the appearance of those cultivators, we still need to be on our guard and deal with them.
"Attack! Let those brats from the immortal sects show themselves. I want to see just how strong they are now."
The Devil Cultivator glanced coldly at the long sword and then said disdainfully.
With his level of cultivation, he could naturally tell at a glance that the longsword transformed from the talisman was of little power.
Dealing with ordinary demons would be a piece of cake.
Unfortunately, the fairies he brought with him this time were all highly skilled.
With just this long sword, how could it possibly subdue this tiger demon? It was simply a pipe dream.
Sure enough, the long sword shattered into pieces the moment it touched the tiger demon after the first strike.
Everyone could see clearly that the long blade hadn't even managed to cut off a single hair from the tiger demon's fur.
Upon witnessing this scene, the glimmer of hope that had initially arisen among the people on the city wall vanished in an instant.
The crowd's expressions changed instantly, realizing that a great calamity was about to befall them.
"It's over."
Upon seeing this scene, even the old Daoist priest felt a chill run down his spine.
This was his trump card; when he saw the long sword appear, he thought he could put up a fight against the tiger demon.
I never expected it to end like this.
The old Daoist priest's face turned deathly pale. Before he could say anything, the tiger demon roared angrily, and the mountain in its hand flew towards the city wall.
Before the mountains even reached them, the whooshing sound had already reached them.
At that moment, a feeling of suffocation pressed down on everyone.
Everyone turned pale, watching helplessly as the boulder hurtled towards them.
By then, it was too late to escape.
The speed at which the mountain was flying towards them meant they couldn't simply escape it.
At this moment, some soldiers couldn't help but close their eyes, unable to bear looking at the approaching mountain.
At that moment, some soldiers who had their eyes closed suddenly felt a bright light in front of them.
It was as if something had directly illuminated his face.
Immediately following were gasps of surprise.
The soldier, who hadn't felt anything unusual about his body for a long time, finally couldn't help but open his eyes.
Looking up again, the mountains were nowhere to be seen.
All that remained were countless pebbles that began to fall gently from the air.
This scene stunned the soldiers, who stared at what they were seeing in disbelief.
"What happened? Why did the mountain break?"
The soldier, bow drawn and arrow nocked, looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but ask a question.
The old Daoist priest behind him looked up at the sky with a delighted expression.
Behind the city, streaks of light appeared continuously.
They then flew one by one to the top of the city and stopped.
Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that among those streaks of light were actually tiny flying swords.
On the flying sword were a group of immortals, their robes fluttering in the wind.
At this moment, these immortals lined up one by one, gazing at the demons ahead.
Upon seeing the immortal appear, the crowd was first stunned, then overjoyed.
"An immortal! An immortal has arrived!"
"The immortals have arrived! We're saved!"
After a moment of stunned silence, the soldiers came to their senses, and cheers erupted that filled the sky.
To be honest, a large part of the reason why the soldiers have been able to hold on until now is because they are praying.
Perhaps one day, immortals will descend upon them like divine soldiers.
In this way, they could be saved.
Now that all these ideas have come true, how could the soldiers not be overjoyed and weep with joy?
After all, for them, this was tantamount to escaping death.
"Oh, so these guys finally decided to show up? I thought they were going to hide forever."
At this moment, the Devil Cultivator no longer concealed himself, flying directly out from the army and then looking at the cultivators opposite him.
The demons dared not land, and instead flew out and landed slightly below the Devil Cultivator.
The person following him was Devil Cultivator, who was extremely concerned about such matters.
If they had flown any higher, they would have been killed instantly by these Devil Cultivator.
"You deserve to die! How dare you slaughter living beings so wantonly!"
When the cultivators looked down and saw that the millions of soldiers had all been turned into corpses, their Qi and Blood boiled.
The disciples of the fifth and sixth generations had basically never witnessed the horrific scenes of demons wreaking havoc on the human world.
This scene, however, has deeply affected them.
The teachings of the elders in the family came to mind at this moment.
"So many years have passed, and you really haven't improved at all. You still use the same old tricks, talking about protecting the righteous path and upholding justice."
Seeing the cultivator opposite him so furious, the Devil Cultivator couldn't help but shake his head, sighing with a touch of emotion.
He genuinely felt that after all these years, these guys hadn't made any progress.
"Don't you all reflect on yourselves? If your methods were effective, why has your immortal sect been so desolate for so long? You almost lost your path to immortality."
"And look at our Devil Race, their cultivation these past few years has been incredibly smooth sailing!"
The Devil Cultivator's face was filled with emotion as he spoke.
Over the years, the Devil Race has accumulated so many powerful beings, and their path of cultivation has become incredibly smooth.
Compared to these cultivators, the Devil Cultivator thereafter preferred to cultivate in seclusion.
how so?
Isn't it because the path of cultivation is unobstructed?
Otherwise, the Devil Cultivator wouldn't have disappeared for so many years.
Upon hearing this, the fifth-generation disciples frowned, then couldn't help but retort, "That's because you stole our Immortal Sect Karmic Fortune!"
"Otherwise, how could you have achieved such smooth progress in your cultivation?"
"Now that the Immortal Sect Karmic Fortune have been reclaimed by our Senior Fang, you Devil Cultivator must be finding cultivation extremely difficult, right? That's why you've set your sights on the mortal dynasties again."
The disciples of today are not what they used to be.
However, he knew all the ins and outs of this matter very well.
This guy, who stole the Immortal Sect Karmic Fortune of the immortal sect to achieve such smooth cultivation, now has the audacity to claim that there's something wrong with their sect.
These are words that any disciple would find despicable.
Only these Devil Cultivator could be so shameless!
The group of Devil Cultivator looked disdainful upon hearing this.
"So what? As long as my Devil Cultivator endures, then I am right. Your immortal sects will perish. Who will remember your immortal sects? Who will inherit your immortal sects?"
"All dynasties in this world understand one principle: the victor is king."
"Even mortals understand this principle, yet you immortals are so stubbornly clinging to it. You should just perish."
The Devil Cultivator, instead of taking the immortal sect members' angry rebukes as a form of praise, felt that it was a compliment to them.
From the moment they are born, they receive such verbal instruction and grow up in such an environment.
Therefore, no one will feel that what they are doing is wrong; they will only feel that their path of self-cultivation is the correct one.
"Enough. You wouldn't understand if I explained this to you. Once your immortal sects are completely wiped out, you'll realize just how right the path our Devil Race race has taken truly is!"
