Against the background of the extremely shining light and the blazing flames, a demon king that resembled a bear-man but was fully twenty meters tall was full of fear and ran for his life with all his strength.
Its body was filled with flames, its hair burning.
Some places were even visibly burnt black.
But at this moment, it didn't care at all and just wanted to escape from this valley as quickly as possible.
However, before it had time to completely rush out of the valley mouth, a tunnel suddenly appeared behind the valley that was almost engulfed in flames.
A tunnel with barely any flames.
This is simply a miracle in the valley that has been reduced to a sea of fire.
The next second, the earth collapsed.
The tunnel in the sea of fire suddenly erupted with a violent hurricane, sonic boom, and even tore a trench in the ground.
And tearing apart the earth, even digging a tunnel through the sea of fire...
Astonishingly, it was the figure piloting the Chengying mecha from ancient times to the present.
He flew over at a low altitude, with blue light shining behind him. After killing another demon king, he turned around and charged at supersonic speed, chasing the last demon king.
Along the way, it smashed into flames and swept across the earth, forming such a tunnel visible to the naked eye directly in the burning sea of fire in the valley.
As the tunnel further turned into a tornado, his figure had already reached behind the bear-like demon king.
"Humanity!"
This demon king let out a desperate roar, with demonic flames billowing from its huge body, and its claws, sharp enough to shatter steel, were aimed at ancient and modern times and struck down.
However, before the shocking demonic flames on it could have time to affect the past and present, a burst of radiance as bright as the sun spread out.
Under these rays of light, this terrifying demonic flame, which is a fatal threat to heavenly beings, melts quickly like ice and snow under the scorching sun.
The next moment, like a golden stream of light, Gu Jinlai hit the huge body of the demon king hard...
No!
Not a collision!
But a thorn!
Gu Jinlai, who arrived at lightning speed, first penetrated the bear-man's chest with his sword, and then hit the bear-man's body under the thrust of the eight engines.
Even though this bear-man is twenty meters tall, Gu Jinlai, who is only six meters tall when driving the Chengying mecha, is like a one or two-year-old child in front of it. However, the terrifying power erupted from the Chengying mecha still knocks this bear away.
In the first twenty meters or so, the demon king weighing hundreds of tons knocked his feet off the ground and flew backwards.
"Roar!"
The severe pain made the bear man become ferocious, roaring and wanting to launch a desperate counterattack.
But before it had time to raise its claws, Gu Jinlai, who knocked the bearman's body of more than 100 tons away, was holding swords in both hands. The pure power of a peak warrior exploded, coupled with the thrust provided by the engines starting on his hands and feet...
…
As the blue flames sprayed out, he gripped the hilt tightly and suddenly raised the Shadow Sword upwards!
"Tear!"
Under this violent force that climbed to the extreme, the entire chest of this bear-like demon king was torn open from bottom to top, and was slashed upwards with both hands holding swords throughout the ages.
Red blood spilled into the sky along with the flames bursting out of the Chengying mecha's engine.
even……
Because the thrust of the engine was too strong, the demon king was lifted from the chest in one fell swoop. After the head was torn apart, its weight of more than one hundred tons was also carried by the inertia formed by the upward lift, and it flew up to an altitude of thirty or forty meters.
And throughout the ages...
With both hands tightly holding the Shadow Bearing Sword, he couldn't help but rush into the void a hundred meters away, bathed in blood and golden light.
However, after rushing to an altitude of 100 meters, he quickly reacted and turned sharply, as if maneuvering in an inverted "U" shape.
Charge upward and immediately fall downward.
Before the body of the demon king was lifted up into the air before it could fall, the body that had reunited with the sword was like a meteor, slamming into the body of the demon king, and the shadow-bearing sword tightly held in his hand collided with the body of the demon king.
It penetrated the head of the Ursine Demon King in an instant.
"Bang!"
The huge body hit the ground hard under the acceleration of gravity caused by the impact of the Chengying mecha.
The earth trembled.
A circle of air waves visible to the naked eye was mixed with dust and stone debris, and instantly spattered in all directions.
No matter how tenacious the demon king's vitality was, he completely lost his voice in the face of this kind of injury.
Standing on the corpse of this demon king throughout the ages, he slowly straightened his body.
Looking at the Shadow Sword that penetrated the demon king's head and nailed it to the ground...
He held the hilt of the sword and swung it to the left, then pulled out the sword and waved it twice out of thin air.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
With the sound of breaking through the air, all the blood stained on the surface of the sword was thrown away.
Then he sheathed the sword lightly and hung it in the slot on his back.
"Two bodies were left behind."
The spiritual consciousness of ancient and modern times quickly poured into the Qiankun Ring worn on his hand. Under the tug, a special spiritual weapon quickly appeared in his hand, and then he took it and injected it into the corpse of the demon king.
A large amount of blood essence was refined by the spiritual weapon, and he received the Qiankun Ring again.
The internal space of his Qiankun Ring is a sphere with a diameter of ten meters, which is quite spacious without the Chengying Mecha.
After doing this, he turned around and went back to the valley to refine the blood essence of the demon king that he first dropped from the sky and killed.
At this time, there were roars outside.
This is when a large number of demons "smell" the breath of the true spirit and rush toward the valley.
I glanced at it through the ages.
Most of them are just ordinary monsters, and the number of big monsters is quite rare.
Weak demons are easily controlled by animalistic instincts after being transformed into demons, but the more powerful the demons, the higher their intelligence. Some large demons can fully communicate with humans and even use human-like conspiracies.
Needless to say, the Demon King is almost no different from a human being.
In this case, the screams of several demon kings are still echoing in the void. The wise demons have already run as far as they can. Only those who dare to rush up and attack are those dominated by wild instincts.
Just an ordinary monster.
There are so many of these monsters that they can't be killed. It can be left to the devil's personal guards to take care of them when the time comes. There has been no intention of wasting time on them since ancient times.
As he squatted slightly, the next moment, the ground he was standing on suddenly sank, forming a crack with a diameter of more than ten meters.
When stone chips were splashing and dust filled the air, his figure was like an arrow leaving the string, soaring straight into the sky, reaching a height of 100 meters in an instant.
After briefly identifying the direction, azure blue light spurted out from the engine on his body, and the thrust provided allowed him to easily break through the sound barrier, and in a deafening roar, he headed towards Beimuzhou.
This time he killed six demon kings.
Although these demon kings do not represent all the demon kings in Muzhou, it is estimated that not many of them have survived.
Gu Jinlai, who returned to Beimu Prefecture, directly issued orders to speed up the recovery and advancement of Mu Prefecture.
With this advancement, more demons were killed one by one.
And the essence and blood in these demons' bodies are extracted, which also transforms more preliminary demon god's personal guards into official demon god's personal guards.
The strength of Lingxiao Palace is growing every moment.
War is the best catalyst for the development of science and technology.
In the process of attacking Muzhou, the Demon God's personal guards and the Celestial Master troops also accumulated rich experience.
They discovered that although swords and heavy artillery were powerful, if combined with some other equipment, they could often achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two.
As a result, a large number of reduced versions of telescopes were produced, and some telescopes even had the feature of being connected to several telescopes at the same time.
In addition, a large number of miniaturized and movable light tables are rapidly produced.
They found that overlapping the signals of the flare platform and the signal detectable radar can enhance the detection of demons and increase the detection range and flexibility.
Affected by this, form detection radars that integrated the function of a flare platform were also produced.
Although it is relatively large in size, with a length and width of five to six meters and a height of more than four meters, this size is nothing to many of the Demon God's personal guards.
Compared to the fact that it can detect hundreds of miles and has extraordinary flexibility and accuracy, the small disadvantages of weight and size are not worth it.
Various new spiritual weapons were produced and put into trial on the battlefield, which directly changed the combat mode of Lingxiao Palace.
Plus the Demon King...
Even the more powerful high-ranking demons will be hit by precise attacks from the sky time and time again throughout the ages. The armies of Lingxiao Palace sweep across Muzhou with extremely fast efficiency.
Almost every day, news of the recovery of a certain place spread throughout the south of the Tianhe River through the newspapers sponsored by Lingxiao Palace, making people's confidence in exterminating the demons and regaining Tiannan reached an unprecedented level.
…
Sanqing Hall.
After two months of settling down, the sadness caused by the death of Master Wu Shi gradually dissipated.
Although everyone in the Sanqing Temple still looks gloomy and gloomy, they have returned to normal operations compared to more than a month ago.
At this time, in Sanqing Hall.
Wu Zhenren, who has been in seclusion for many years, also appeared in person, looked at the disciple Xuan Hai in front of him, and listened to his report.
After a while, he slowly said: "So, the key to his defeat is that the sword energy of the Tianji Sword left in Xuan Yue was caught off guard?"
"That's the main reason."
Xuan Hai said in a deep voice.
As for the secondary reasons…
At that time, Master Wushi didn't have a single weapon in his possession, so he naturally wouldn't say anything about it.
After all, both the Heart of the Stars and the World Sword were taken by Master Wu Shi, and Master Wu Nian took advantage of Master Wu Shi's sleep on the pretext of the agreement made back then, and did not want to return them.
"Xuan Tianzun is so insidious! Taking advantage of Xuan Yue's inexperience in the world, he first deliberately approached Xuan Yue, and then caused him to be severely injured by the demon spirit, thereby providing him with an opportunity to assassinate Brother Wu Shi! This matter must not be let go!"
Wu Zhenren's indifferent eyes were filled with coldness.
He thought of the significance of the Tianji Sword among the unearthed divine weapons, and said coldly: "Pass my order to mobilize all the power of the Sanqing Palace to search for Xuantian Zun. The blood debt can only be repaid with blood!"
