Chapter 296: Chapter 258: Could It Be Them? (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Chuanzhong Pass, a military stronghold in the Central Pass Basin, spans only ten miles in circumference, flanked by towering Tianqing Mountains that envelope it between the ridges.

This location is a mere four thousand miles from Jingguan City. Once breached, the flat and vast Central Pass Plain lies directly below!

Right now, the place is filled with a cacophony of human voices and the earth-shaking clamor of battle.

Three thousand passionate men spill their blood on the battlefield, among them, esteemed warriors of the Heavenly Pass and Profound Body realm.

Joining them are the fifth, seventh, eighth, and ninth Lieutenants, along with some Prefecture Colonels leading the remnants of their retreating forces, all defending this city resolutely.

Moreover, Pei Yanhu, originally stationed in Jingguan City, has personally come forth to this place to reinforce its defenses.

For the past four days, it has been these individuals, using the grand defensive array brought and laid out by Pei Yanhu from the Government Administrative Office, who have tenaciously withstood the onslaught of the demons.

Both sides engage in a relentless tug-of-war, turning dozens of miles outside the border into graveyards, with corpses scattered everywhere.

News from the battlefield constantly travels back to Jingguan City and further, stirring up an ever-growing rallying force.

Finally, the Great Divine Ability Users from the Martial Vault join the fray!

Yesterday, two Divine Ability Users of the Human Clan emerged, slaying a Great Martial Vault Demon that was assaulting the city.

Incredibly, these two from the Human Clan turned out to be Sect Leaders from two of the "Weiyuan Eight Heroes," the Sect Leader of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, Yi Cangtian, and the rumored extinct former Sect Leader of the Su Nu Sword Sect, the Divine Priestess, both having broken through the Martial Vault.

The title "Weiyuan Eight Heroes" originates from a moniker granted during a battle projection in Jingguan City, where they stood alongside the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel against the demonic horde of Shu’s Heavenly Pass. It is unknown who coined this term, but it has slowly spread since then.

Tonight, enraged, the demons launch an all-out assault, with three Great Martial Vault Demons manifesting themselves to attack the city.

High above in the sky, five colossal Dharma Images stand opposed.

Over the great array of Chuanzhong Pass, two figures reveal themselves with formidable presence.

One, donned in white robes and armored, a Taoist cap upon his head, his long and flowing beard and mustache, surrounded by a tempest of Sword Qi flying and swirling around, pointing straight to the heavens above.

Another, dressed in robes embroidered with colorful ribbons, rising seventy to eighty zhang tall, her features veiled in a sphere of light, unclear to the eyes, with ribbons dancing around her, extending across the sky.

Above them, three Great Martial Vault Demons within the Demon Cloud, looking down with scorn.

One with a red-furred body and ape-like form, eyes of scarlet gold, its whole body blazing like fire, a hundred zhang in size. Another with a fierce countenance, body covered in golden scales, a mouth like the Duke of Thunder and a pair of Golden Wings on its back, wielding a Thunder God Chisel; and the last shrouded in black, a full moon hanging above its head, black mist transforming into numerous black Demon Dogs, furiously barking towards those below.

They are Great Martial Vault Demons from the Bingxie, Heavenly Dog, and Gu Diao of the Ten Fierce Clan!

It seems each of the Ten Evils have divided their own territories and assault routes – the Eastern battlefield is led by Feiyi and the demons of the Six Mountains, while the central battlefield is orchestrated by these three Evils.

Five Great Divine Powers amass at Chuanzhong Pass, stirring tumultuous energy that makes the void tremble and continuously buzz.

"Kill!"

With a cold and indifferent voice, devoid of any emotion, falling from above.

"Woof"

"Woof"

"Woof"

"...."

From the heavens, countless black Demon Dogs surge downwards, their green eyes brimming with malice.

Meanwhile, a Great Demon of the Gu Diao Clan unfurls its golden wings, kicking up a fierce gale as it soars into the sky. In one hand, it holds a Thunder God Chisel, in another, a hammer, ready to strike.

Instantly, with a thunderous boom, thunder explodes as if to shake the very heavens and earth.

Only to see, from beneath that black Thunder God Chisel, a golden lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket cleaved the heavens, striking towards the two Human Clan’s Martial Treasures.

The Bingxie with the body of a fiery red ape roared in fury, pounding its chest, and spewed forth a stream of fiery golden essence, blazing towards the sky.

Instantly, a tumultuous killing intent cascaded down.

Yi Cangtian of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, as well as the Divine Priestess from the Su Nu Sword Sect, their eyes flashing sharply, whereupon a sword sound simultaneously resounded from within them.

Around Yi Cangtian, sword light instantly formed into a radiant silver galaxy, surging skywards, while the Vegetarian Goddess clasped her hands in a sealing gesture, summoning tiny blue raindrops in the air, crystal clear; with a skyward point, the raindrops whistled through the air, rolling backwards.

The divine powers of the five Martial Treasures swiftly clashed.

The three Demons boasted expansive Divine Skills, descendants of the Fierce Demons with divine abilities inherited through their bloodlines, bizarre and ferocious. The two Human Clan Martial Treasures, however, were famed Sword Cultivators with unparalleled offensive power. At the level of Martial Treasure, Sword Intent followed their heart’s desires, unstoppable, roaring between heaven and earth, like rainbows, their speed extraordinarily fast.

For a moment, the battle caused the color of the sky and earth to change.

The two humans and three Demons clashed high in the sky, unleashing their attack techniques, and even the faintest leak of their aura left those below shaking with fear.

At this moment, inside Chuanzhong Pass, the skirmish thundered, with Demons besieging the city, a massive dark mass. These Demons that had been repelled yesterday came prepared today, bringing along over a dozen huge green insect nests, releasing a strange kind of green Demon Worm. Their bodies were as hard as steel, without any special divine abilities, yet capable of consuming the spirit light of magical arrays.

Alarmed cries rang out within the city, with Heavenly Pass Experts leaping out one after another, plunging into the Demon hordes to destroy those insect nests.

The battle quickly turned scorching; Demons clashed in chaos, and so did the humans on their side.

At that moment, at a central core area within the city, a three-colored pillar of light connected to an array, guarded tightly all around, with the blades of Armored Soldiers drawn from their scabbards.

This was the central array formation controlling the city’s defenses!

Seated there was a figure stationed amidst the three-colored light pillar!

T’was Pei Yanhu, broad and robust, with a pair of tiger-like eyes.

At this moment, Pei Yanhu’s expression was taut, in front of him a hemispherical orb, a miniature representation of the grand array, his tiger-like eyes fixed on the running of the array, his hands constantly emitting Spirit Light, injected into the light and shadows before him.

At the same time, he occasionally glanced towards the high skies, pupils contracting, worried if the two Martial Treasures could withstand the three Great Martial Vault Demons.

His heart was concerned, but he knew he must not allow confusion to seize him. His lips slightly moving, he issued commands; despite the abundance of experts within Chuanzhong City, they fought with fervent passion but lacked combat experience against Demons, resulting in many unnecessary casualties.

He must take command of the overall situation.

Just then, Pei Yanhu stationing the array’s vital point suddenly felt a warmth in his chest.

With a slight shock on his face, he took out the warming object to look.

A square-shaped seal engraved with a ferocious tiger, made of Green Jade!

At this time, the Green Jade Seal was emitting flashes of green light.

This message signified that allies were approaching.

And the only thing that could trigger a reaction in his Tiger Talisman was one possibility!

His appointed Colonels!

His thoughts raced, the seventh and the eighth were here, the fourth and fifth dead, the ninth also...,

The ninth?

When he thought of this designation, Pei Yanhu’s pupils couldn’t help but tremble.

Could it be them?

Now, he looked towards the direction where the Tiger Talisman was sensing, unable to help but turn his neck, gazing southeastward, his eyes alighted, and then with a bellow, he transformed into a blazing thunderbolt shooting into the sky, turned into a dazzling bolt of Thunder, breaking through the grand array, crazily slaughtering Demons along his path as he shot towards the southeast.

"Commander!"

The others were astonished!
