"Set off!" Li Jing commanded loudly, nodding in satisfaction as he watched the Xuanjia Army disappear.
The Strategists’ School, as one of the Hundred Schools of Thought, mastered countless Divine Skills for marching and warfare. Used properly, these could achieve unexpected and highly effective results.
Concealnt was one such Divine Skill!
Once the commanding general employed this Divine Skill, it could render the entire army invisible—not just their physical forms, but also their scent, breath, and movents.
The only drawback was that they could not engage in combat!
Over two million soldiers gripped their weapons. Like arrows loosed from a bowstring, they flew towards Mangniu Demon City, their movents so light they made no sound.
A quarter of an hour later, the Xuanjia Army soldiers had flown into the sky above the River of Blood, only ten thousand zhang away from Mangniu Demon City.
Hiding in the shadows, their eyes glinted with dangerous light, like hunters who had locked onto their prey, poised to unleash a lethal strike.
Inside Mangniu Demon City, garrisoned soldiers were everywhere. Patrols of alien armies moved back and forth, and squads of tiny, hummingbird-like soldiers flitted about on patrol.
Despite this, they still had not detected the presence of the Xuanjia Army!
"Kill!" Li Jing suddenly roared.
All Xuanjia Army soldiers heard the command, murderous intent blazing in their eyes. Imdiately, they empowered their army souls. With flashes of blinding white light, a heaven-piercing pillar of bloody killing intent erupted from them, penetrating the heavens and earth, shaking the cosmos.
Boundless killing intent filled the highest heavens, dyeing the Void crimson for a hundred miles around!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The sound of their charge bood like thunder.
The Xuanjia Army soldiers roared, their Xuanjia Shields held high, wielding their weapons as they charged at Mangniu Demon City.
"Enemy attack!"
Inside Mangniu Demon City, countless demon defenders were shocked, falling into a brief panic.
However, the troops dispatched to guard the Demon City were all elite forces. They quickly regained their composure and took up their positions to begin the defense.
"They dare to attack at this mont!"
"Well then, let this general et the vanguard of Great Qin!"
In the center of the Demon City stood a massive Stone Palace. Bull War Demon, the City Lord, was montarily stunned upon hearing the sounds of fierce battle in the distance, his eyes wide with astonishnt.
Soon, he cald down. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes as he soared into the air, transforming into his true form—similar to ordinary Bull Tribe mbers, but far larger, a full hundred zhang in size, resembling a small God Mountain.
On his head was a pair of crescent-shaped horns, covered in dense patterns. They resembled two peerless Divine Weapons, radiating a sharpness that seed capable of tearing anything apart.
"Catapults, fire!" a Black Bull Tribe general on the city wall bellowed.
Beside him, thousands of catapults stood neatly arranged, all empowered by formations. They hurled out gigantic boulders, their power imnse enough to shatter large swathes of the Void.
The impact of each boulder was equivalent to a full-force strike from a Saint King Realm expert.
Thousands of boulders ant thousands of Saint King Realm experts striking simultaneously; the power contained within was enough to roil the heavens and earth.
"Xuanjia Shields, block!" Li Jing commanded calmly.
The Xuanjia Shields above the soldiers’ heads glowed brilliantly, deflecting all the boulders and turning them into dust that scattered across the Heavenly Universe.
Under the protection of their shields, the Xuanjia Army advanced steadily, drawing ever closer to Mangniu Demon City.
After withstanding two volleys of boulders, Li Jing raised his trident high and roared, "Slash!" Three terrifying and unparalleled streams of the Power of Laws pierced through the world, coalescing into three brilliant beams of halberd qi that struck towards Mangniu Demon City.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
These three world-shattering sounds caused ripples to spread across the Formation outside Mangniu Demon City, and cracks began to appear.
The land for ten thousand li around began to tremble violently.
With Mangniu Demon City at the epicenter, deep chasms radiated outwards in all directions.
Ancient trees turned to dust! The River of Blood surged into the sky!
As Mangniu Demon City was a core formation eye of the Tribe Defense Array, its assault caused the arrays of the other nine Demon Cities to activate automatically, sealing off half the Heavenly Universe.
From high above, one could see a sky-curtain emitting gray light, separating the Myriad Demons Saint’s Court from the Primitive Continent.
"Damn it!"
"The Great Qin Saint’s Court has launched an attack!"
"That Demon City is under attack! It must hold at all costs!"
The City Lords of the other nine Demon Cities looked worried as they simultaneously reinforced their defenses to prevent attacks from the Qin army.
"Not good! Mangniu Demon City is under attack! Everyone, hurry to assist!"
Within the Beast God Tao Domain, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, who had just concluded a court assembly, suddenly felt uneasy. After a quick divination, her expression changed drastically, and she hastily commanded.
"What?"
The assembled demons’ expressions changed drastically. They cried out in alarm before tearing through the Void and vanishing.
They all understood the importance of Mangniu Demon City!
If it were breached, the consequences would be unthinkable!
"Damn it!"
In the great hall, Yinglong also heard the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s words. His face changed instantly, and he cursed under his breath. His body began to fade until it vanished completely.
"Sigh!"
Watching Yinglong depart, the Demon Emperor sighed deeply.
This was why he had insisted against using the River of Blood as the frontline. A single mistake would bring disaster to the nation and calamity to the foreign races! Regrettably, Yinglong was too arrogant!
「anwhile, in the Imperial Observatory of the Great Qin Saint’s Court!」
Yuan Tiangang, who was observing the vast cosmos above and scrutinizing the boundless earth below, suddenly paled. His Tianming power erupted, sweeping away all Spiritual Energy within a ten-thousand-zhang radius, and all heavenly secrets were obscured.
"Warriors of the Imperial Capital, hurry to Mangniu City!" Yuan Tiangang cried out, his head raised.
Instantly, the tranquility of the Imperial Capital was shattered as nurous powerful experts soared into the sky, tearing through the Void to depart.
「Back on the battlefield.」
"Strike again!"
The Void trembled as Li Jing attacked once more. Ti was short; he had to race against every second to destroy Mangniu Demon City before the experts from the Myriad Demons Saint’s Court arrived.
"Stop!" Bull War Demon, rushing from the City Lord’s Mansion, roared. His pair of pitch-black, gleaming horns carried terrifying destructive power as they ramd towards Li Jing, annihilating everything in their path.
He stared intently at Li Jing, vowing to skewer this detestable human. How dare he attack the Demon City I guard? He’s courting death!
Li Jing furrowed his brows. This is getting troubleso! Faced with the enraged Bull War Demon, I now have two choices. The first is to defend. But if I do that, I won’t be able to destroy Mangniu Demon City, and finding such a perfect opportunity again will be nearly impossible. The second is to continue attacking Mangniu Demon City. But if I do that, I’ll have to withstand Bull War Demon’s attack with my physical body, and my life might be in danger.
For Great Qin, what is death? Without much hesitation, a resolute light flashed in Li Jing’s eyes. Ignoring Bull War Demon, he swung his trident towards the city wall.
BOOM!
The ancient Mangniu City, which had stood for millennia, suddenly shattered, and countless formations within it broke apart.
A giant hole appeared in the Tribe Defense Array.
"You’re courting death!" Bull War Demon’s rage soared to the heavens, his heart filled with terror. I am the City Lord of Mangniu Demon City! If I fail to protect it, and those above hold accountable, I’ll suffer a punishnt worse than death!
At this mont, the killing intent in his heart reached a peak unseen since his birth! Only by killing Li Jing! Only by annihilating the Xuanjia Army! Only by repairing Mangniu Demon City! Only then could he lessen his guilt, have a chance to live, and avoid endless tornt.
BOOM!
The sharp horns pierced directly through the Xuanjia Army’s army soul shield and into Li Jing’s chest. Crimson blood gushed out.
Li Jing’s face turned deathly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. However, as he looked at the shattered Mangniu Demon City, a smile touched his eyes. I succeeded! Even if I die ten thousand deaths, I have no regrets!
