The demon troops originally stationed behind Zhuque Mountain and belonging to the second line of defense suddenly launched a surprise attack on Hong Chen's troops from behind.
What’s special about this demon army is that they are the only army on the demon front line that is dominated by humans, and their leader is a man named Li Nan.
At the same time that Li Nan's troops launched an attack on Hongchen's troops, Li Tian's troops also began to attack Hongchen's troops.
The Hongchen tribe of the demon clan was attacked from two sides.
At such a critical moment, Hongchen was never seen coming out, and he didn't even receive combat orders from Hongchen.
It is reported that before this, Hongchen had been trapped and killed by Li Nan.
After being stabbed in the back, attacked from both sides, and with the news that their leader had been killed, Hongchen's troops were defeated. The deputy general led his troops to surrender to Li Tian, and the prestigious Hongchen troops were annihilated!
Although there is always a wise saying on the battlefield: The battle situation usually changes in an instant, so you cannot be careless.
But no one expected that this change would come so suddenly and so... shockingly.
The Red Dust Army that had been terrorizing the border for more than a hundred years was actually wiped out in one battle.
On the human side, all the border generals were stunned.
Although Li Tian publicly announced that he would annihilate Hongchen's troops, no one took him seriously.
Because, no matter how you look at it, it’s impossible.
Among Hongchen's troops, in addition to Hongchen, a strong man who has reached the perfection stage of transcending the tribulation, the three lieutenants are also in the early and middle stages of transcending the tribulation. In addition to the amazing high-end combat power, the combat power of Hongchen's grassroots soldiers is also extremely amazing.
Although Hongchen's army is only a division, there is no problem at all against the ordinary military formation of the human race.
But this group, which was extremely difficult to crack in the eyes of many human border generals, was annihilated by Li Tian in one battle.
After the news came out, He Lei directly chose to escape, but was directly controlled by Black Mirror using gravity from a distance, and was taken to Li Tian's camp tied up.
"Wufu, you decide." Li Tian said calmly.
An Wufu first knelt down on his knees, kowtowed solemnly to Li Tian, and then walked towards He Lei with a long sword in hand.
He Lei's spiritual power was sealed, and now he is basically equivalent to an ordinary person.
"No, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I dare not frame An Sansheng as a collaborator. Please give me another chance. I will definitely change my ways."
But An Wufu was unmoved.
He came to He Lei and raised the sword in his hand.
He Lei panicked. He looked at Li Tian and suddenly said with a ferocious expression: "Li Tian, aren't you going to challenge me to a duel? How can you use Master Black Mirror to kill me? If you have the guts, let me go and let's have a fight.
A duel between men!"
An Wufu sneered: "It's a beautiful idea."
However, Li Tian suddenly said: "Wu Fu, please step back."
"Boss?" An Wufu turned to look at Li Tian, a little panicked: "You don't really want to duel with him, do you?"
Other people close to Li Tian were also panicked.
The battle to annihilate the Red Dust Army was won brilliantly.
Li Tian can be regarded as a strategizing general. He was able to incite Li Nan to rebel and kill the opponent's general before making a sneak attack.
The demon army relies too much on its leader, which is a fatal flaw of the demon army.
But on the other hand, if the demon leader is very powerful, as long as he does not die, the demons under him will fight to the last man, which makes the demon army appear extremely powerful.
Hongchen has been stationed at the border for more than a hundred years, and the human race has often dealt with him. He has also planned countless beheading plans, but they all ended in vain.
But today, a newcomer from the volunteer force, a Jindan Realm Colonel, has accomplished what those generals who have crossed the Tribulation Realm have failed to accomplish!
This guy is a genius, a genius at strategizing and commanding an army.
but!
A duel is a completely different battle.
This is not a competition between commanders, but a duel between individuals.
Victory or defeat has little to do with brains, what matters is absolute combat power!
In terms of absolute combat power, He Lei, who is in the Tribulation Perfection realm, faces Li Tian, who is only in the late Golden Core stage. No matter how you look at it, the latter has no chance of winning.
"Hey, Li Tian, don't make me too big!"
Xueduo was very nervous.
"If this guy dies in a duel, the Empress will definitely kill me."
Xueduo's positioning of herself is quite clear.
She knew very well that even though she had been Nangong Liuli's personal maid since childhood, she was also her confidant.
However, Li Tian is her relative.
Although there is only one word difference between these confidants and relatives, it is very clear who is far and who is near.
"Forget it, the big deal is that Li Tianzhen encountered a life and death crisis and broke the duel rules by himself. He saved Li Tian first," Xue Duo thought to himself.
But at this moment, the clouds in the sky suddenly moved on their own, and then showed a huge face.
When everyone saw this, they knelt down one after another.
"I've met Lord Black Mirror."
Even Xue Duo knelt down.
This black mirror guards the border all year round. He claims to be the patron saint of mankind. Although he is well aware of the coup in the imperial capital, he does not react at all.
But there is no doubt that this man is very powerful.
The only one still standing at the scene was Li Tian.
Kneeling down on one knee does not mean humiliation. In the world of cultivation, when a subordinate meets his superior, kneeling down on one knee can even be said to be standard etiquette.
All in all, kneeling down on one knee is not impossible for Li Tian.
But Li Tian is still a little bit worried about Black Mirror using An Sansheng to stimulate An Yixia.
Therefore, he did not kneel down.
Black Mirror doesn't seem to care much either.
"Li Tian, do you want to accept He Lei's duel challenge?" Black Mirror said calmly.
"Yes." Li Tian said calmly.
"Have you thought about it? The rules of dueling are that you cannot bring weapons, you are responsible for life and death, and no outsider can interfere." Black Mirror said again.
"Think about it." Li Tian said again.
He paused, looked at Black Mirror, and said: "Master Black Mirror, I have something to talk to you about later."
"when?"
"After killing He Lei." Li Tiandao.
Everyone:...
"This guy is so crazy! He doesn't think he can really kill He Lei, does he?"
"I originally wanted to support a wave of weaklings, but now I'm a little eager to see this guy get beaten up by He Lei."
"Me too."
"I can't stand this guy anymore."
"Duel rules prohibit the use of weapons. The sword he took out before looks like a good thing. But if there is no good spiritual weapon, he will beat He Lei with his head!"
...
Above the sky, Black Mirror's expression did not change at all.
"Since you said so, let's start the duel." Black Mirror paused, glanced at Xue Duo, and said calmly: "I will be the referee and will not let anyone interfere in this duel between men.
"
Xue Duo clenched her hands, feeling unhappy for a moment, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Then, in the sky, Black Mirror's huge palm fell directly from the sky, and then drew a circle on the ground.
After drawing, the circle automatically became a barrier, trapping Li Tian and He Lei inside it while keeping others outside.
Although there is only a thin line between them, people from outside cannot enter this circle at all.
At the same time, Li Tian and He Lei in the circle couldn't get out either.
Until the two decide the winner.
At this time, Black Mirror looked at Li Tian again and said calmly: "To be honest, I am not optimistic that you can win. But if you can win, I can agree to your request, of course within my ability. For the time being.
Consider it an encouragement to you."
"Thank you, Master Black Mirror." Li Tiandao.
He Lei had a ferocious expression: "Li Tian, you have no chance to get the reward from Master Black Mirror, because you are going to die soon!"
