Among the expeditionary force, the most powerful one is the coach Liu Chong. He has reached the peak level of the Infinite Realm and is only a short distance away from the Tribulation Realm.
However, as a direct descendant of the Liu family, the elite team under his control is capable of exerting a strength comparable to that of the Tribulation Realm when the fighting intention is launched.
The lineup on Shizuoka City's side is quite different. The most powerful one is only Yuriko's deputy, the Infinite Realm Master, but in real battle, he may not be as powerful as Li Mu.
This is also the special consideration behind Baili and Shen Bairu arranging the base camp of the expeditionary force here. Just imagine where reinforcements from other countries are stationed. If there are powerful monks or sects nearby, no one will feel at ease.
"Open the energy shield and send a message to Master Baili and Master Shen for help. All we can do now is to hold on as long as we can."
Seeing that even the most powerful energy stone artillery in the city could not stop King Mu's advance, Yuriko was at a loss as to what to do. She had to send an order to open the protective shield that could wrap the entire Shizuoka City, and then asked the high-level monks of Nishihorai for help.
Shizuoka City is a city-state famous for its energy stone technology. There is no mountain gate of the Immortal Cultivation Sect within a hundred miles. Even if Baili and Shen Bairu tear apart the space immediately after receiving the call for help, it will still take a long time.
Therefore, the only ones who can stop King Mu from slaughtering the city now are the monks headed by Li Mu and the Cangyun Empire's expeditionary force.
Liu Chong understood this very well, so he chose to strike first.
I saw bright golden light shining. The eldest son of Liu, the imperial general, and the soul of the expeditionary force, was actually leading the way. The five people behind him were all disciples of the Liu family, and Liu Qingling, who was familiar to Li Mu, was also among them.
A team of six people jumped into the air, followed by other small battle formations, vaguely forming an extremely mysterious formation.
The forces of fighting spirit supported and condensed each other, and finally formed a perfectly fitting whole. The power it erupted was earth-shattering, making the clouds above Shizuoka Castle "flee away".
"Is this the fighting spirit of the Liu family of the Cangyun Empire? I originally thought that Brother Liu's martial spirit body on Yangjin Lake had reached its peak, but I didn't expect Liu Shuai's move to be even more amazing."
The one who was most shocked was definitely Xiao Taomaru, who was born in the Penglai Fairy Kingdom. He had long heard that the Liu family’s fighting spirit was unpredictable and extremely suitable for use on the battlefield, but when Xiao Nizi really saw so many ways of application , I still can’t help but feel amazed.
The Liu family's battle formation had taken the lead in the charge, and the monks in the expeditionary army were naturally unwilling to lag behind. Li Mu took the lead, and several other masters of the Infinite Realm rose up from the air to face the great demon King Mu who was already a short distance away.
Although the monks in the Infant Transformation Realm were unable to fly, they all showed off their magical powers. Some resorted to various means and ran across the water, while others sacrificed their magic weapons and turned into small boats, carrying several companions following them.
In addition to those responsible for confronting King Mu, the ordinary soldiers of the expeditionary force or monks with lower cultivation levels also showed excellent qualities and great courage at this time.
Officers at all levels quickly organized the troops. The engineer battalion took the lead and opened up a retreat path on the already messy embankment. The machine artillery battalion began to collect all the weapons that could still be used and built a simple defense line to provide a safe place for the army. Behind the troops.
In fact, the idea of the expeditionary force is not to confront King Mu head-on. After all, a large demon of this level, even if it does not have the strength in myths, is definitely not something that a group of ordinary troops can easily deal with.
Whether it was the battle formation led by Liu Chong or the monks led by Li Mu, their purpose was only to detect the true and false status of King Mu and to cover the evacuation of the large forces.
They also understand that in such an emergency, the strong men from the Tribulation Realm in Xi Penglai must already be on the way to support. As long as they buy enough time to allow the main force to retreat to a safer inner harbor or shelter, they can
The damage of this attack was kept to a minimum.
"Uncle, be careful. The person who summoned this big demon was the Nightmare King. It's hard to tell whether the 'Blood' organization sent people to hide nearby, hoping to reap the benefits after both us and King Mu were harmed."
An idea flashed in his mind, and Li Mu quickly picked up his speed and came to a position where he was keeping pace with Liu Chong, confessing all the bad premonitions in his heart.
"You are right. According to the behavior of these beasts, this big monster is most likely just the 'first mover', and there may be some conspiracy and tricks hidden behind it."
Liu Chong immediately understood Li Mu's worries, and without hesitation, immediately arranged for Bai Jingting and Xiao Taomaru to return to Shizuoka City with some monks to guard against a possible second wave of attacks by the men in black robes.
At this moment, the troops attacking King Mu had arrived in front of the water vapor in the sky. Although they had not yet penetrated deep into it, the terrifying high temperature had already made everyone feel how terrifying this king of water and fire was.
"Keep the output of fighting spirit, let's rush in."
"Everyone circulates the vitality of heaven and earth to isolate the temperature of water vapor. Hurry, we can keep up."
Although everyone has their own ways to resist high temperatures, whether it is fighting spirit or the vitality of heaven and earth, if you want to continue fighting in such a harsh environment, the problem of consumption is always inevitable.
But the current situation is urgent, and Li Mu and the others can't think about it so much. Even if they take drugs, they have to withstand the pressure and persist until help arrives.
The monks gritted their teeth and controlled the vitality in their bodies, forming a protective layer on the surface of their bodies to resist the erosion of hot water vapor, and then plunged into the white purgatory created by King Mu.
When he first entered, Li Mu felt like "he couldn't see anything." The extremely low visibility made everyone have to expand their perception to the limit, but this also increased the consumption invisibly.
Using the Tiansheng Jue to the extreme, Li Mu loudly reminded the others not to be left alone, and then continued to move forward along the "channel" broken by the fighting spirit team in the water vapor.
He did not summon the little monkey from the bionic space to fight. On the one hand, the opponent's situation was unknown and it was not yet time to use his trump card.
On the other hand, the continuous battles in the early stage also gave the little monkey a lot of new insights. At this time, the Zhu Yan Divine Beast was huddled up, leaning closely against the golden ancient tree of life, and seemed to be undergoing some kind of transformation.
.
The little monkey is one of Li Mu's strongest trump cards. He is naturally unwilling to interrupt the "upgrade" process unless he has to.
"Everyone ready to fight!"
Following Liu Chong's loud shout, Li Mu, who broke through the mist of water vapor, finally saw King Mu's whole face up close.
At this time, the Penglai Great Demon was also blinking his huge pupils, looking at the members of the expeditionary force who appeared in front of him and stood in front of him.
