Chapter 232: Chapter 208: If I Were You, I’d Have Run Away Already (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

As Chen Yuan rose with the wind, he carved out a white torrent in the rain curtain between heaven and earth, thrusting straight at the Devil Race’s grand army.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

The Eight Taoist Soldiers of Heavenly Passes seemed to come to a tacit understanding and broke through the air, following in pursuit.

On the city wall, Gou Zhi, the local Colonel, twitched his brows, gritted his teeth, raised both hands, revealing two huge Weng Gold Hammers. With a "pang" sound, he smashed one down, lifted the hammer with a fierce expression, and bellowed:

"To hell with it."

"If we die, so be it."

"Beat the drums, beat the drums!"

"Everyone, charge with me!"

After speaking, there was a "bang" as he bent his legs and then, like a cannonball, he shot fiercely into the sky.

On the city walls, the drumbeats and bell tolls sounded together chaotically, as voices shouted in unison. One after another, Iron Armor Cold Light flashed brilliantly, like a mighty river filled with thousands upon thousands of troops, whooshing into the curtain of wind and rain.

Inside West City, upon the eaves of the many pavilions and towers, dense shadows stood still. As they heard the noisy gales mixed with the roars of demons in the distance, their hearts tightened. Then they saw a tumultuous surge as a force of thousands charged, like a hundred racing boats, eagerly rushing into the vast white expanse outside; they were shocked and took a startled gasp.

The entire city wall’s troops had almost all mobilized, taking the initiative to sally forth and ambush.

Instantly, there was a cacophony of yells and screams of panic and terror.

"They’re crazy, totally crazy, this is courting death; why move out instead of holding and guarding the city?"

"What kind of command is this? Military matters are no child’s play; if this momentum is repulsed, it could lead to a complete collapse."

"It’s said that it’s the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel who’s in charge of the overall situation at Guang’an Prefecture."

"What in the world is going on?"

"Let’s go take a look."

These spectating figures, some with anxious and panic-stricken faces, immediately started with a bunch of military strategies and directions, as if they could point out mountains and rivers, yet they didn’t budge an inch. Others, however, frowned tightly and took off toward the west.

......

Twenty miles to the west of Guang’an Prefecture, fierce fighting erupted, and explosions flipped the forest around.

Disciples from Sects and righteous swordsmen from the Prefecture had come to reinforce the battle. They moved like ghosts through the woods, leaping and flying as they entangled in combat with the forefront of demons, exhibiting their own Divine Skills.

A disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, in flowing white garments resembling a Sword Immortal, shouted as swift as the wind. Sword light danced around him as several demons screeched and bounded, with sharp claws flashing coldly from three directions. The disciple flew backward, his hands forming a Sword technique, "Slash," and the sword light around his body whistled through the air, transforming into three blinding white streaks, cutting in half the three attacking Little demons at their waists. After all this, he whistled through his mouth and then dove into the ground, disappearing without a trace.

Several miles away, in another part of the woods, a disciple of Fulong Temple in green Taoist robes was throwing out several yellow Paper talismans. They transformed into streaks of yellow light, whooshing onto several Demon Soldiers. Then there was a soft shout.

"Freeze!"

The talisman flashed with golden light, immobilizing several demon soldiers with grinning fangs and hideous faces. The Taoist, holding a Nine-Hole Bronze Ancient Coin Sword across his mouth, furrowed his brow and glared fiercely. Opening his mouth, he spewed a line of fire that swept across with a flourish. The flames roared, burning those Qi Refinement Realm demon soldiers into fiery orbs.

Suddenly, "whoosh," a streak of black Demonic Qi tore through the air at incredible speed from the side of the forest. The disciple’s face changed, and he quickly positioned his sword sideways to block.

With a "clang," the Nine-Hole Copper Coin Sword shattered. The disciple was sent flying backward for over ten meters, crashing into a large tree. An unnatural flush spread across his face, and he coughed violently. At that moment, from the direction of the Demonic Qi, a thunderous noise descended from the sky as a massive Feiyi, spanning fifty to sixty meters, flapped its ghastly wings, revealing a pair of blood-red, cruel eyes as it rapidly approached. The Taoist quickly flipped his hand, pulling out a yellow paper talisman and slapped it onto his body. With a "puff," his body instantly turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared.

In the next breath, "boom," a loud explosion erupted, with dirt flying everywhere. The spot where he had been standing was now a large crater. Seeing the sudden disappearance of their target, the Feiyi at the Profound Body Peak level became enraged and let out an angry roar, with rigid bone spurs protruding from its neck.

As it roared, a large shadow passed over the foggy forest, with various sized Feiyi flapping their wings and peering down from above with sharp and gleaming eyes.

As they flew forward a couple of miles, a loud shout was heard from below, "Explode for me!"

With those words, a series of firelights shot up into the sky within the vicinity of the forest. The violent explosions, accompanied by surging flames and turbulent True Qi, swept towards those Feiyi.

"Puff"

"Puff"

"Puff"

In an instant, the chaotic flow of violent True Qi submerged the twenty-some Feiyi, shattering their flesh, creating holes, and emitting shrill screams. Corpses and blood fell like rain, staining the rain curtains red as if it were raining blood.

The remaining small group of Feiyi, seeing their companions slaughtered, opened their ferocious beaks and let out piercing shrieks as they dived down in a frenzy.

Below, a group of Armored Soldiers lying in ambush within the valley revealed themselves. Their Iron Armor Cold Light glistened in the rain. "Sssssh," they drew their swords, arranged in formation, and unleashed Sword Qi towards the sky, creating streaks of rain.

At that moment, in the forest to the east, the faint fog began to crawl with traces of blood. These blood traces moved like sentient worms, hiding in the mist, between branches, or burrowing into the ground, like vipers slithering silently.

An Armored Soldier, who was clashing with a descending Feiyi, failed to notice a thread of blood entering his nose. A breath later, his body suddenly stiffened, his eyeballs bulging out with blood vessels crawling all over them. He screamed in pain as blood spurted from his skin and eyes. Soon after, his body exploded, and a mass of blood rose into the air.

One by one, the Armored Soldiers met the same fate.

Urgent whistle blasts suddenly pierced through the forest.

"Retreat!"

As if triggering a chain reaction, a chorus of yelling and sharp whistle sounds spread, accompanied by streaks of light and the clatter of iron armor as they hastily retreated toward Guang’an Prefecture.

Meanwhile, blood mist began to rise from the forest, tainting the vast white curtain of the rain blood red. Then, the sound of raging waves escalated from within, as a sea of blood swiftly coalesced, the waves reaching high into the air.

Soon after, a green-eyed, sharp-beaked, and fiercely-fanged blood-red gargantuan face emerged from the rising blood sea. Seventeen or eighteen zhang in size, it exuded a suffocatingly oppressive aura that rippled outwards.

Waves from the sea of blood, reaching a hundred meters high, demolished everything in their path, causing mountains to topple and vegetation to be uprooted, painting a terrifying sight.

Those house-sized green eyes, cold and terrifying, looked down from on high at the retreating figures, glittering with light. Laughter, deafening and sinister, reverberated from its mouth.

"Hehe...."

At this moment, a cold gleam cut through the sky, a sonic boom echoed with a startling arrival.

A speck of cold light pierced through the endless curtain of rain, as swift as lightning, it roared towards the Blood Sea.

The grating laughter halted as those huge green and red eyes turned, revealing a fierce fury. The Blood Sea churned, rolling tumultuously towards the incoming cold gleam.

"Boom Boom Boom"

The Blood Sea surged, even the Sky Dome trembled with the rumbles.

Quickly, like a spark hitting the earth, the cold gleam descended from the sky and violently struck the rising blood wave.

"Boom"

A loud explosion.

The blood wave burst apart, the cold gleam pierced through, continuing its flight towards the giant face.

The Demon Face showed a hint of astonishment, followed by a cold snort. In an instant, wave upon wave arose, one after another, the surging waves rushed to collide with the cold gleam.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

The cold gleam broke through fifty layers of blood waves, finally halting and revealing its true form—a Three-pointed Two-blade Spear!

Upon seeing this spear, the Demon Face’s green eyes flashed a fierce and menacing hue, its voice thundered in the sky like a muffled rumble.

"Is it this spear?"

As the words fell, a venomous voice filled with hatred replied, "Twenty-Eight Elders, it’s this person who used this spear to slay countless of our Six Mountains."

One by one, humanoid figures rose from the Blood Sea, each with a human face and a Demon Body, bearing different facial features, eyes filled with ferocity, exuding strong auras intermingled with that of the Heavenly Pass—thirteen in total. The elite of the Weiyuan Pass from the Six Mountain Demon Tribe had all gathered here, ready to turn Guang’an Prefecture into a city of death.

The speaker was one of the three Heavenly Pass Demons who had fled into Weiyuan City a few days ago, pursued by Chen Yuan and others. With a human face and bird’s beak, crowned with green feathers, and black lips, its green eyes stared unblinkingly at the Three-pointed Two-blade Spear, full of ferocity and hatred.

Upon hearing this, the Blood Sea roared furiously. The waves surged sky-high, tornado-like, enveloping the spear amidst a deafening tumult.

Suddenly, a piercing sound of a spear cry burst out, the spear’s body emitting Divine Light and suddenly bulging in size, growing to a massive twenty zhang, spanning the Blood Sea, stirring and churning the waves, creating a tumultuous noise, as the void trembled and buzzed nonstop.

Then, with a loud "boom", the disturbed Blood Sea exploded, and the Big Spear broke free, shooting through the vast rainy sky.

At this sight, the blood-colored face cried out in alarm and rage.

"Damn it, how could my Blood Sea fail to trap a Taoist Soldier!"

After speaking, the rainy curtain dispersed in the space ahead, and then a rolling cloud approached.

Upon the clouds, leading the way was a figure in silver armor, standing tall.

With a distinguished appearance, clad in shimmering silver armor and a black cape adorned with cloud patterns, exuding a powerful presence, and a golden streak between the eyebrows, gleaming with a faint golden light.

Behind him stood nine figures, positioned on either side, eyes sparkling, each aura extraordinary.

"Dang"

The leading silver-armored figure reached out towards the upper diagonal, and the Three-pointed Two-blade Spear that was shooting towards them shrank in the wind. With a clang, it fell into his hand.

Chen Yuan held the long spear, twirling its tip downward with a sweep, stepping on clouds, his body moved forward, his eyes flickering with faint golden light, staring intently at the blood-colored Demon Face reflected in the Blood Sea.

The first level of the Tao Fruit Realm!

Good!

There are still thirteen Taoist Soldier Heavenly Passes.

Excellent.

His eyes flashed with a light as fierce as a blazing fire.

At the same time, the green and red eyes within the Blood Sea stared at Chen Yuan, baring fangs, as the Blood Sea surged with waves like stormy seas, thunderously rising. The blood face became even more fierce and menacing, looking down upon Chen Yuan and others with a bone-chilling, sinister laugh.

"What a character, the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel. In the North, your Mountain-cutting Army is nearly extinct. Unexpectedly on this side, it looks like you’ve snatched a bargain."

"Do you really think the Ten Evil Saint Clan can’t kill you? It was nothing but playing house with you, soon, very soon!"

With a fierce tone in his voice, he declared, "It’s your turn next!"

As he spoke, the Blood Sea roared, the rage shaking the heavens, collapsing from above.

Chen Yuan looked coldly at the Demon finishing its speech, raising an eyebrow, and spoke slowly: "Have you never wondered why your Tao Fruit couldn’t trap my Taoist Soldier?"

"If I were you, I would’ve already fled!"

As he finished speaking, he raised his other hand.

A Green Gold Glaze Small Tower emerged from his hand and took flight.

Subsequently, the world underwent a great change.
