The Chu army took the lead in guarding the pass of Guan Pass. King Panju of Chu entered the Tortoiseshell Mountain Palace and personally guarded Guan Mountain.
"Your Majesty, although our army is guarding the Tortoiseshell Mountain, the Tortoiseshell Mountain stretches for thousands of miles and has many mountain passes. Our army is focused on one and misses the other. How can we cover everything?"
The generals of the Chu army all looked worried.
"From what I have seen, it is better to take the initiative to attack the blood demons and have a showdown in the plains than to passively defend the mountains."
The generals are right. From a military perspective, there is indeed no need to defend Tortoiseshell Mountain.
Because I definitely can't keep it.
How to defend and block such a long mountain range and so many mountain passes?
The attacking side can move flexibly and choose weak points to attack.
Even if the mountains can block the blood demon's cavalry, the worst he can do is abandon his horses and come over the mountains on foot.
Panbing looked at the villages in the south of the mountain, and then at the Chu people from the north who were trying to escape, and said in a deep voice: "It will be difficult for our army to win if we take the initiative. The safest strategy at the moment is to first guard the Tortoiseshell Mountain and wait for the country to
News from the teacher.”
"I heard that the Imperial Master went to the Tortoiseshell Mountain in the west. That's where the Imperial Master Qin often went. It's definitely not a coincidence that the Imperial Master Zhongda also went there."
"I believe that there may really be a discovery there that can save the Chu country from its crisis."
The Imperial Preceptor... Everyone felt complicated after hearing this. They did not think that the Imperial Preceptor could save the Chu State now.
Dazai Gu Zhong, who was accompanying him, sneered in his heart. The national master should be taken to the blood clan camp by Gu Fang now to be a prisoner.
Your Majesty, if you are still counting on that unreliable Imperial Master, you are destined to be disappointed.
The old minister feels very sorry for the king.
But the old minister is also helpless. Some things always need someone to do them.
The King of Chu arranged his defenses, and while waiting for the blood demon army, he continued to order the mobilization of the young men in the country, so that they could go north to King Qin under the leadership of vassals and lords from all over the country.
Of course, what he paid most attention to was always the news about the new national master.
If the new national master can't do anything, then the Chu country will really be doomed. He has already made psychological preparations.
Even the concubines, princesses and princes in the palace were also prepared under his instructions.
Once the blood demon troops come to the royal city, they will set fire to the palace and die for the country.
When Pan Bin thought of this, she felt endless sadness and desolation in her heart.
After struggling for so many years, is this day finally coming?
Thousands of years of Chu State's foundation will be destroyed in one day.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there were gods who flew into the sky and escaped from the earth, turning mountains and seas upside down. It is said that Kangzu, the founder of the Chu State, was a god. The Chu State was also very big at that time.
But now that Chu is about to perish, why don't the gods appear?
Alas, there is no such thing as a fairy, after all, it is just an idiot’s dream.
"Your Majesty, the Blood Demon is here!"
An exclamation interrupted Pan Bin's thoughts. The most noble man in the Chu Kingdom looked up and saw smoke and dust covering the plains to the north. Above the dust, blood demon's blood cross battle flags appeared unscrupulously in front of his eyes.
The endless blood demon army surged forward like a black tide.
The entire north was shrouded in that gloomy and bloody evil aura.
The astonishing murderous intention was like a basin of biting ice water pouring into the hearts of the kings and ministers of the Chu Kingdom.
Although the Chu people have been resisting the blood demons for thousands of years and are no strangers to the blood demons, they have never seen such a large army of blood demons.
There is a saying in the State of Chu: "If there are not even ten thousand blood demons, you cannot fight if there are ten thousand."
Because the Blood Demon has the secret technique of drinking blood to strengthen his body, he has strong blood, strong physique, and strength and speed like a tiger.
Moreover, even if you are injured, you can recover quickly.
The most powerful white-armored elite among the blood demons, with the ability to lift a thousand pounds and kill a horse with a punch, he is simply a natural killer.
At this moment, the blood demon army swept over with overwhelming evil aura. They roared on horseback and were arrogant, as if they were in an uninhabited land.
Some of the blood demon pioneers even shouted and rushed down the mountain to show off their power.
The ferocious faces under their pointed helmets were clearly seen by the Chu army: high noses and deep eyes, their faces were as pale as corpses, and their eyes were green in color, glowing with bloodthirsty red light.
Some blood demons took off their pointed helmets, revealing a small brown or yellow braid, which was like a pig's tail. Their forehead and surrounding areas were shaved, and they had a strange appearance with a high nose and deep eyes. They looked ugly, weird, savage, and fierce.
And when these creatures open their mouths and roar, they reveal their sharp and slender fangs, like a jackal's kiss.
Their weapons are mostly cross swords and huge long bows.
Although their appearance is indeed unsightly, their terrifying fighting power and terrifying desire for destruction are clearly visible, making everyone in the Chu Kingdom feel chilly in their hearts.
"The Imperial Master will arrive soon and can save the Chu Kingdom from danger! Don't be afraid of the Blood Demon!" Pan Bin said loudly, "Pass the king's order to kill a Blood Demon soldier and reward him with ten kilograms of gold! Upgrade to one level!"
"If we can't stop the Blood Demon, what will be waiting for us?"
"We will be treated like pigs and sheep, and we will be killed by them to drink blood, eat meat, and be slaughtered like animals! You, your relatives, including your parents, wives, and children will all be miserable..."
A general hurriedly came to Pan Bin and reported: "Your Majesty, Dazai Gu Zhong has escaped. He actually fled north!"
Pan Bin smiled coldly: "Don't worry about him. I already know how important he is. It's going to rain. My mother wants to get married, so just let him go."
Panju promulgated the king's order and after some encouragement, the hearts of the Chu army were ignited and the desire to fight to the death was in full swing.
At this time, in front of the Blood Demon army, Gu Zhong had led a group of tribesmen to come in person to the horse of Count Elska, the commander of the Blood Demon.
He looked at Elska, who was riding a tall horse with an indifferent expression. He was trembling and panicked in his heart, and couldn't help but throw himself into the dust with a thud:
"Your Majesty the Earl, your respectful and docile servant Gu Zhong leads the people to greet the great Earl! May the light of the Lord bring good news to you. Cake seller!"
For Gu Zhong, who had secretly taken refuge with the blood demons for a long time, he was certainly no stranger to what the blood demons wanted to hear.
Elska was wearing a golden armor, looking down at Gu Zhong who was prostrate in the dust in front of the horse. She showed a cold, arrogant and reserved noble smile:
"Seller of cakes! Gu, my child, you are a lost lamb who has returned. The Lord will forgive you and give you peace of mind."
Gu Zhong looked happy and felt relieved. He quickly raised his butt and shouted: "Thank you, Lord Earl, for your grace!"
The blood demon generals around him looked at Gu Zhong, who was as docile as a dog, and all showed a smile of disdain but satisfaction.
The earl is right, he is indeed a good slave.
Well, it seems that it can be used to help captive the Chu people, so it should work.
Gu Zhong said cautiously: "Your Excellency, my lord, my servant brother sent me the masters and apprentices of the State of Chu and the state. That woman was captured and given to you by my servant. Are you satisfied with her?"
The reason why he said this was of course to claim credit, strike while the iron was hot, stabilize Elska's good impression of him, and gain a little trust.
But Elska was a little confused, and his face sank:
"Gu, my child, you said that your brother sent the master and apprentice of the Chu State, and you specifically mentioned that woman. However, I did not see your brother, and he did not come to my camp."
What?!
Gu Zhong was startled when he heard this, as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake. His body shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help but throw himself on the ground more humbly, his voice full of panic:
"This, this... must be that slave brother who failed to live up to expectations. He succeeded more than he failed. He made mistakes and failed to complete the major tasks assigned by this slave. Please forgive me, Lord Earl!"
His younger brother Gu Fang and a hundred dead soldiers of the Gu family did not come back. He thought that Gu Fang followed his instructions and directly escorted the masters and apprentices of the country to the north to join the blood demon army.
He also thought that Elska must have enjoyed that incomparable beauty, and was so satisfied that she forgot about herself.
But he didn't expect that Elska would actually say that Gu Fang didn't come to the vampire camp, let alone send any women!
Did something happen to Gu Fang and the others, or did Elska deny it and secretly kill Gu Fang and the others?
Gu Zhong was not sure, but his heart was full of panic.
Of course he didn't dare to question Elska, so he could only kowtow and confess.
Elska didn't bother to look at Gu Zhong, this slave. When it came to the foot of Tortoiseshell Mountain, she ordered him to enter the palace as soon as possible.
It simply did not believe that the Chu army could stop the 100,000 noble knights under its command.
"Woooooh——"
The horns of the vampire army sounded, and groups of vampire knights abandoned their horses, either holding swords and shields, or holding huge long bows, and roared towards the mountain pass.
………
On the high platform of the mountain hall, which is more than a hundred miles away from the battlefield between the two sides, Jiang Yao is running his medicine spirit body at full strength, refining the elixir through the extremely thin spiritual energy and vitality.
Because there is only one seven-leaf clover, and Li Xi only has one heart and soul, he cannot fail and must succeed.
Jiang Yao used the best silver frost charcoal and the best mortal medicine furnace left by Qin Yu.
However, he did not dare to make it rashly, but kept simulating the process of refining the medicine in his mind.
At this time, a full moon had already risen in the mountains, and the spiritual energy and vitality of the entire valley suddenly became stronger.
Li Xi's wound healing speed immediately increased a lot.
The two of them seemed to be immersed in an extremely comfortable hot spring, and their cultivation that had been banned by heaven showed signs of loosening.
Qin Yu's method is right!
Jiang Yao suddenly opened his eyes and officially made the elixir!
The ordinary medicine furnace has been ignited. Under the furnace is burning silver frost charcoal. Qin Yu has also added special combustion aids. It burns very fiercely, almost at the same temperature as a first-class real fire.
The ginger medicine saw the right moment, pinched it to the last minute, and then put in the horse chestnut.
Then, after the seven-leaf clover melted to a certain extent, it poured into Li Xi's precious blood.
Even the force and position of the blood drops, the trajectory of the blood drops, and the distribution area of the three drops of blood in the medicine furnace are all very particular.
It doesn't matter if you make a slight mistake, so you know how difficult it is.
This is a microscopic operation that Jiang Yao has deduced on the sandbox before and simulated in his mind many times.
At the same time, he silently recited the "Secret of Purification", and a trace of black debris floated out.
Originally, his cultivation was banned and he was unable to use medicinal techniques at all. But now on this special place on a full-moon night, the seal of the rules of heaven has been temporarily relaxed, and his medicinal techniques have been improved to a certain extent.
It can barely be used to refine the lowest level elixir.
It's a good thing that he is a medicine spirit body and a medicine fairy, otherwise there would be no need to try.
Jiang Yao gathered his mind and concentrated on it, almost sinking into the Tao alchemy with all his heart.
When your cultivation level is sealed, you can imagine how difficult it is to use ordinary medicine to refine a completely new elixir.
Li Xi was holding a pistol and protecting the law by his side.
Her nervousness is no worse than Jiang Yao. If the refining of the medicine fails, they may be trapped in the next life forever until they die of old age.
After a few minutes, the black gas no longer leaked out, and the variegated medicinal liquid had turned into red elixir liquid.
Jiang Yao felt relieved, knowing that the elixir was now one-third complete. You must know that if there was a mistake in the timing of adding the ingredients, or if the mind was not skillful, then the red elixir liquid would not have appeared.
Jiang Yao kept the fire stable and changing, calculated step by step, and then silently recited the "Separation Technique".
This medicinal formula can separate the elixir into several incompatible droplets.
Because Jiang Yao's cultivation level was extremely low at this time, the magical power of the medicinal formula had only a little effect, so he tried his best to separate the medicinal liquid into three incompatible droplets.
Three liquid beads floated up, and the remaining elixir liquid could only be wasted. But the two of them only needed one blood elixir, so it was nothing.
The three liquid beads were constantly changing under the transpiration of the furnace gas. Jiang Yao then made a move and silently recited the "Elixir Condensation Technique". After a while, the three liquid beads slowly condensed into a gel-like "Soft Elixir". At this point, it was completed.
Two thirds.
At this time, Jiang Yao was already exhausted and was sweating profusely.
Li Xi, who was watching on the sidelines, had his heart pounding and was equally nervous and sweating profusely.
Jiang Yao took a deep breath, tried his best to use his minimal spiritual power, and silently recited the "Secret of Cheng Dan" while the fire in the furnace was burning to its maximum.
This is the most critical step in alchemy, and it is also the most challenging step.
Not only the elixir formula, the furnace fire and the operation must be coordinated just right, but more importantly, the "Elixir Formation Technique" itself is also an extremely complex and mysterious technique, and it must be constantly changed at the right time. If the timing and formula are wrong, all previous efforts will be wasted.
Moreover, in this case, the elixir lacks sufficient spiritual power, so not only is it extremely ineffective, it is also more difficult to master.
Although it is only refining the first-level elixir at the moment, Jiang Yao feels much more difficult than refining the sixth-level elixir.
Fortunately, Jiang Yao is a medicine spirit and a medicine fairy after all. His powerful medicine talent has allowed him to practice to this point.
Slowly, the three "soft elixirs" were refined with ginger medicine and turned into three red round elixirs the size of longan.
But it doesn't end here, there is still one last important step, producing the elixir.
Spiritual elixirs all require spirituality. After the elixir is completed, it needs to be fed back with its own aura. This aura must be free of distracting thoughts and needs to be purified after being separated.
Otherwise, the elixir will be useless.
Hold on... hold on...
Never fail!
At this time, Jiang Yao was exhausted and could not even burn his essence and blood when he lost his cultivation. Jiang Yao could only sacrifice a trace of his aura into the cauldron with the power of his heart and soul, and it was immediately absorbed by the elixir.
But his soul was burned so painfully by the hot fire that he almost cried out in pain.
Big beads of sweat seeped out from Jiang Yao's pale face, rolling down freely.
At this moment, his white hair increased again at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Poor Jiang Yao looks a little older again!
When Li Xi saw this scene, she couldn't help but clench her hands tightly, her heart was in her throat, and her pretty face that was both happy and angry turned pale.
She has never been so nervous in her entire life.
But at the same time, the elixir finally became much clearer.
Jiang Yao immediately performed a move to collect the elixir, and the lid of the cauldron suddenly fell down.
Three red "Blood Qi Pills" flew out and landed on Jiang Yao's palm, carrying a scorching heat and fragrance.
"Pfft--" At the same time, Jiang Yao spat out a mouthful of blood, his face extremely pale.
In order to refine three of the lowest elixirs, the medicine spirit body and the dignified medicine immortal were so exhausted that they vomited blood.
But Jiang Yao was extremely happy because he finally refined the Blood Qi Pill!
"It's done!" Li Xi looked happy and trembled with excitement.
Jiang Yao immediately swallowed a Blood Qi Pill himself, and then gave one to Li Xi.
As soon as the two of them swallowed the elixir, they immediately felt a boom, and a hot air surged up from the purple palace in the Dantian to the meridians and spiritual points, and their whole bodies were filled with energy.
A powerful force emerged instantly.
It is the power of the warrior monk!
Yes, he is the lowest level warrior, but in this mortal future, he is already an invincible existence like a king!
At this moment, under the triple influence of special geography, thin spiritual energy, and first-level elixir, a crack finally appeared in the seal between the two of them by the rules of heaven.
This slight gap gave the two of them the true spiritual consciousness of a warrior!
The confidence of the two people suddenly soared, and the fear they had felt for many days was gone.
As soon as Jiang Yao regained his consciousness, he immediately produced a bunch of pills, several pistols, a knife, and a bunch of puppets.
Li Xi also immediately offered up useful treasures.
Both of them sacrificed puppets. Because puppet magic weapons that use fixed energy and do not use spiritual energy are the most useful things at the moment.
Then, Jiang Yao's consciousness and soul power discovered an empty vortex suspended in the air.
This vortex is like a mysterious passage, looming under the moonlight and becoming increasingly clear.
"This is the gate of time formation that we left!" Jiang Yao said with a trembling voice, "Qin Yu's research is correct. His thousands of years of hard work have not been in vain, and he has fulfilled us!"
Li Xi's beautiful eyes were full of surprise, "Yes, this should be the formation gate we came from!"
After she finished speaking, she was about to rush over. This mysterious formation door was in the air and could not be entered by mortals. However, she already had the warrior training and could enter through the air.
But Jiang Yao held her back: "Senior Sister Li, Qin Yu's suicide note said that you must enter when the moon reaches the zenith and the formation gate is the most stable. Otherwise, the formation may collapse or mutate. We either
You can’t go back, or you won’t go back to the original time.”
Li Xi was startled and immediately stopped, "Really? Okay, then we will wait for another hour. But, can our cultivation last for an hour?"
Jiang Yaodao: "There will definitely be no problem for an hour. During this time, we can help the Chu people deal with the threat of the vampires!"
"Okay!" Li Xi has no objection, but we only have one hour, and after one hour, we must return here!"
As she spoke, she took out a pair of flying shoes and jumped into the air.
Jiang Yao also offered up a pair of flying shoes.
The two of them walked against the wind under the moonlight, as fast as the wind.
The reason why we don't use a spaceship is that it requires too much spiritual power, and flying shoes are the most suitable for now.
The distance of more than a hundred miles passed almost in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, on the main battlefield between the Blood Tribe and the Chu Army, the battle was already heating up.
Both sides lit countless torches, and together with the full moon in the sky, the main battlefield was illuminated as bright as day.
The fighting between the attacking and defending sides was extremely fierce. At all times, a large number of Chu soldiers died under the fierce attacks of the Blood Demon.
And every time a blood demon is killed, seven or eight, or even a dozen Chu soldiers are needed to replace it.
It is true that the individual combat power of the Blood Demon Soldiers is too powerful. As a race that drinks blood to strengthen their bodies, their strength and endurance are more than twice as strong as the soldiers of the Chu army, and their ability to resist damage is also more than twice as strong.
Not to mention, they move as fast as tigers and leopards, and their attacks are much stronger than those of Chu soldiers.
In addition, they are wearing heavy armor, so even if the Chu soldiers occupy the advantage of the terrain, it is difficult to effectively kill them. Even if many arrows penetrate their heavy armor, it will be difficult to cause harm to them.
Only the Chu army's crossbows and trebuchets could cause some damage to the Blood Demon.
The arrows of the blood demon soldiers shot extremely far. They were a head taller than the Chu soldiers, and their arms were half a foot longer. They used very long bows and heavy arrows, and they shot extremely fiercely.
Due to their powerful and special physique, the Blood Demon army, which was at a disadvantage both in terms of strength and terrain, suppressed the Chu army and made it unable to lift its head.
What's even more terrifying is that when the blood demon soldiers saw the blood of the Chu soldiers, their eyes turned blood red, their murderous intent became even higher, and they attacked like crazy.
There were even blood demons who directly picked up the fallen Chu army corpses, bit them in one bite, drank the blood with great enjoyment, and sucked the blood of each corpse dry.
There were also blood demons fighting for the corpses, tearing the Chu army's corpses into several pieces and eating the bones and internal organs.
It's like an evil Shura ghost coming out of hell.
At this scene, even the most tenacious Chu soldiers felt chilled in their hearts and wanted to turn around and run away.
Under the brutal attack of the Blood Demon, the Chu army on Guancheng suffered heavy casualties. Many soldiers were pale and did not dare to step forward.
The fierce blood demon has already invaded the mountain pass, and the largest pass is even more dangerous.
Panju, the king of Chu, personally sat in charge of this Guancheng. With his sword in his hand, he shouted: "There is no life but death! Both jade and stone will be destroyed! It is better to die in battle than to kill for pigs and sheep!"
The most elite palace guards around him all rushed forward at the king's command to block the gap that was about to be breached by the blood demon.
Count Elska, the blood demon commander not far from the mountain pass, looked at the largest pass that was about to be captured with a ferocious smile, and let out a weird laugh:
"Let there be a storm of blood, let there be a rain of blood! Although we no longer possess the ancient magical power, we are still the masters of the world!"
"With the blessing of the Lord, we are invincible. We wantonly play with the cowardly foreign women, suck their blood, and slaughter their flesh. Where the blood-red cross flag is, the doomsday for the resisters will be unstoppable!"
Elska looked up to the sky and screamed, her eyes were blood red, and the fangs in her mouth shone coldly in the moonlight. This terrible man pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it straight at the sky.
At this moment, even the full moon in the sky turned blood red.
"Kill!" The terrifying Lord Count pointed his sword and issued the final general attack order.
"After a glass of wine, I want to see the Blood Cross battle flag planted on the Chu people's Guancheng! Children, for the wonderful dinner, attack!"
The tens of thousands of blood demons who had been staying behind without fighting suddenly let out terrifying and earth-shattering screams, like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Gu Zhong, who had taken refuge in the vampire clan, looked at this scene and couldn't help shouting: "Pan Bin, you are finished! You are finished! I was right! Resisting the Earl is in vain!"
King Pan Bin of Chu in the pass had disheveled hair at this time. He was holding a long sword and supervising the battle at the top of the city. Seeing the power of the Blood Demon's general attack, his face showed a look of despair.
"I am ashamed of my ancestors. Thousands of years of chaos will be destroyed in my hands..."
How could Pan Bin not know that he could no longer resist the blood demon?
The blood demon's fighting power is so brutal and brutal that he really can't be defeated.
But he didn't expect that he had to resist for a whole day.
Seeing that Guancheng was about to be captured, Pan Bin couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he saw the Chu soldiers who were frightened by the blood demon and lost their fighting spirit and were retreating steadily.
It's too hard to save, it's over, it's over.
Pan Bin couldn't help but look to the south, and seemed to see that the palace in his royal city had burst into flames, and all the concubines and princesses were buried in the flames.
The Imperial Master still failed to show up.
But at this moment, a cold snort suddenly came from the air: "The bold blood demon is so rampant, die!"
The sound came from the sky, and the sound actually overshadowed the fighting between the two armies.
Chu Jun and the Blood Demon couldn't help but look up and were stunned.
