I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Chapter 627: Chapter 375: Those Who Dare Trespass, Behead!

Deceit Night has arrived.

The Evil has reached us.

A tremendously heavy atmosphere pervades the battlefield.

Everyone here bears inescapable Evil Qi.

Since the large-scale invasion from the Demon Domain, they have fought continuously, and comrades have met tragic ends.

On the Taixuan Divine Mountain, six defensive lines have lost more than half.

This is an unprecedented dishonor.

"Battling demons by day, with Evil invading at night... without reinforcements, we won’t last three days."

A general holding the Earth Evil Flag, with a cold expression, slowly said: "I heard that starting tomorrow, we must split our forces and delay the enemy’s advance..."

"I’ll hold the frontline, you all retreat tomorrow and construct new defensive lines, stabilize the formations behind us."

The leader, a roughly fifty-year-old man dressed in battered armor, covered with claw marks.

He was sharpening the blade in his hand.

After numerous bloody battles, the blade was already dull.

He lifted the blade, facing the candlelight, and said, "I was initially responsible for the front line, suffered repeated defeats, and retreated here, saved by my brothers’ desperate protection, surviving till today..."

He sheathed the blade, sighed, "I don’t want to retreat anymore."

In the tent, everyone fell silent.

This General Yan is currently the temporary commander of the fourth defensive line.

Because the commanders of the fourth line had already fallen in battle, Yan stepped in to replace them.

Yan Li, a soldier withdrawn from the first defensive line, had most of his previous troops decimated.

Just last night, his remaining old troops were also entangled by Evil Spirits, unable to retreat, entirely wiped out.

"All my previous troops are dead, find a way to allocate three hundred men to me. Tonight, as the Flag Master, I’ll hold the First Mountain. If I can’t hold it, I’ll light a white signal smoke and return this Earth Evil Flag before I die."

Yan Li picked up a flag, saying: "If I can hold it, starting tomorrow, I’ll continue guarding here. You all spread out and work according to the Heavenly Kui Flag Master’s plan..."

Staying at the frontline is a situation of certain death!

The Heavenly Kui Flag Master’s plan is to block in batches.

Once the front is attacked, no reinforcements follow from the back.

Until the frontlines fall, the second group takes over; and when the second group falls, the third group takes over...

"The formation on this hilltop is still relatively stable; I’ll strive to hold for over ten days, if possible!"

He put on his helmet, saying: "You must quickly set up the defensive lines and formations behind us. Without the formations, the back won’t hold for long!"

Inside the tent, silence persisted.

After a while, a young lieutenant finally said in a low voice, "I hear the New Law is almost complete, and you’ve been at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm for seven years, you might have a breakthrough."

Yan Li, upon hearing this, chuckled, "When I retreated from the front line, I recovered from my injuries and tried the Old Law’s Qi Refining and God Transformation, but failed. I hear the New Law is even harder, so I don’t expect much."

"I guess my luck isn’t as good as Old Li’s; he achieved the Primordial Spirit with the Old Law before his death and even used the Earth Evil Flag to slay a vicious Evil Spirit, along with over a hundred other Evils."

"Although he died in battle, his achievements far surpass mine!"

When Yan Li said this, he felt both emotional and envious.

Everyone, hearing this, couldn’t help but chuckle, saying: "Maybe before you die, you could break through in battle; who knows."

"It’s a pity there’s no chance to master the New Law. If I could breakthrough with it, even if I die in battle tonight, I would have no regrets."

With some helplessness, he said, "But compared to those already dead brothers, just being able to stand here at this moment, I’m considered very fortunate."

He took a step back, cupped his hands solemnly, and said earnestly: "If you survive, at the place of my death, burn a copy of the New Law for me. If the ashes scatter and fly into the sky, that means I’ve received it."

"Rest assured!"

Another middle-aged general said solemnly: "Even if we all die, the later ones will burn a New Law for us, it’s the promise of the Heavenly Kui Flag Master!"

"That’s good!"

Yan Li said this, and continued: "By the way, the new Heavenly Might Flag Master’s temperament might lead him to come and assist in the battle tonight... but it’s really unnecessary; as long as he masters the Heavenly Might Flag early, it’s the biggest help and won’t slow the progress!"

——

Night falls.

The First Mountain has already sunk into darkness.

Yan Li looked around at the people nearby.

After fighting bloody battles day and night, over three thousand have perished on this mountain.

And the remaining few hundred are not his old troops.

Yet, for now, they are under his command.

"Tonight’s offensive may not be held."

Yan Li planted the Earth Evil Flag at the peak, slowly saying: "My brothers, we might all meet our end here! If you don’t wish to die, you can retreat to the second line now..."

"What kind of talk is that?"

At this moment, a young man discarded a chipped blade, picked up a long spear, and slowly said: "Who doesn’t know the higher-ups have decided to hold Taixuan Divine Mountain to the death? Early death or late death, we end up dead; hanging on a few more days, what’s the use?"

He donned his armor, saying: "Behind us is the land of the Three Prefectures, my home is in Yuan Shan City!"

Beside him, an old soldier tore away his worn-out armor, saying: "This iron armor is too heavy, it’s so broken anyway, it’s simpler to remove it, makes movement easier, might even kill a few more demons."

Another middle-aged man pulled out a stack of talisman paper, patted it gently, saying: "The fierce assault from the Demon Domain shows that the New Law’s appearance is enough for the Human Clan to change their circumstances, the Evils are already panicking."

"I’ve heard that the Saint Master’s cultivation advances rapidly. If we hold out for another day, he’ll grow even stronger."
