Chapter 25 Yunlong Daoist Takes Action; Border Situation Reversed!
Three miles outside the Jade Gate Pass, the demon army camp!
Three demon emperors finished their drinks.
Crimson Flame Wolf Emperor and Spider Emperor, having transformed into human forms, lay in their tents. They had just manipulated the simple-minded but sturdy Bear Emperor to go out as the vanguard for the total assault.
After months of fighting by the demon soldiers below, they finally understood.
The Demon Emperor's initial claims were nothing but hot air!
Insufficient strength and inadequate provisions?
On one occasion, demon soldiers intercepted a supply cart from the Jing Nation and, upon seeing the magic rice on it, were utterly dumbfounded!
With such high-yielding crops, there was probably no year in the history of the Jing Nation more prosperous than this one!
The Demon Emperor had chosen to start a war at such a bountiful time, implying he was asking them to die willingly?
The two demon emperors decided to gather their forces and launch a decisive total assault!
With the pachyderm Furious Bear Clan at the front, the remaining two factions could at least preserve some strength.
This way, even if the Jing Nation survived this war, they wouldn't be swallowed directly by the Demon God City!
"Wolf Emperor, if we can't succeed today, will you withdraw your troops?" the Spider Emperor raised her sharp chin, asking with deep meaning.
"Withdraw? Why wouldn't we?" The Wolf Emperor grumbled, "If we have the strength, the old fox might punish us at most. But if we lose everything, the old fox might just take over our Holy Demon Palace!"
"Haha, aren't you afraid the Emperor will hear these words?" the Spider Emperor chuckled.
The Wolf Emperor disdainfully curled his mouth, lifted his wine cup, and was about to drink.
Suddenly.
The entire tent seemed to shake violently, like an earthquake!
The Wolf Emperor's wine spilled all over the floor.
He was stunned.
Surprisingly, there was no anger.
After a moment, he suddenly looked up and locked eyes with the Spider Emperor, who had reacted the same way!
"This movement is... the Bear Emperor's innate skill, Earth Armor!?"
"What the heck? He just went out for a short while, how did he already use his innate skill?"
The two demons were astonished!
The innate skills of demon beasts consumed a lot of energy and were hardly used unless it was a life-threatening situation.
But here in Jade Gate Pass, there seemed to be a presence threatening the life of the demon emperors?
The Wolf Emperor and the Spider Emperor quickly walked out of the tent, looking up at the sky.
They witnessed a terrifying scene that made them tremble!
A venerable old Daoist, with a wave of his dusting whisk, caused the massive form of the Bear Emperor to roll and tumble on the ground!
The once renowned defensively strong Bear Emperor now had wounds opening up, blood flowing freely, yet the old Daoist seemed effortless, as if everything was gentle and easy!
Overwhelming!!
The Wolf Emperor and the Spider Emperor were shocked, and a hint of regret filled them!
They should have just betray the Bear Emperor... when did this terrifying Daoist appear?
"Sigh, this Daoist just wanted to take a Demon Saint's Holy Relic. Why force me to take action?" Yunlong Daoist sighed softly, tossing the Bear Emperor, who was barely breathing, far away.
He was originally quite polite.
However, due to the Bear Emperor's lack of manners and directly attacking him, Yunlong Daoist decided to intervene.
Damn it, didn't the old fox say that the Sword Immortal wouldn't stand idly by when he intervened in the Demon God City? This Daoist is even scarier than the Sword Immortal, isn't he?
The Wolf Emperor swallowed hard and hesitated before speaking:
"Human Senior, the old bear doesn't know etiquette. Please forgive him. If you have any requests, you can go to the Demon God City and discuss with our Emperor."
The Spider Emperor also nodded in agreement.
This move was to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, and Yunlong Daoist naturally wouldn't be unaware of it.
"I will visit the Demon God City in the future, but today, under someone's request, to obtain the Demon Saint's Holy Relic... why bother going far when it's within reach?" The old Daoist smiled knowingly, his eyes falling on the Wolf Emperor.
The Wolf Emperor shuddered suddenly!
He had the Demon Saint's Holy Relic inside him, and this old Daoist obviously knew! The implication of the statement was to forcibly extract the Demon Saint's Holy Relic from him!
"Senior, even if your strength is overwhelming, such banditry might be frowned upon by others, wouldn't it?" The Wolf Emperor broke out in a cold sweat.
"Hehe, I, Yunlong Daoist, will ascend in a few years. Why would I care about my reputation?"
Yunlong Daoist smiled indifferently. His lifelong wish was to pass on Tianji Pavilion to his apprentice.
The only one who could save his apprentice was Gu Lan, so satisfying Gu Lan's wishes was a matter greater than the heavens!
Besides, playing a moral hostage game with the man-eating demon emperor every day, didn't it seem quite amusing?
With a light tap of his dusting whisk, the Wolf Emperor's body suddenly froze!
In his gaze filled with resentment, a blood-red Demon Saint's Holy Relic burst out of his body, and he appeared in his original form in pain!
"Ow!!!"
The Wolf Emperor howled in agony, blood from the wolf spraying everywhere. This scene was even more terrifying than the beating he received earlier!
A mighty demon emperor, when did he ever appear so miserable?
The demons were deeply shaken by what they saw! The arrogance of the 300,000 troops that were originally planning to launch a total assault on Jade Gate Pass had long been scared away!
The Demon Saint's Holy Relic floated into Yunlong Daoist's hands.
He glanced at it and nodded to himself, "With the demon emperor's blood, its quality seems to have improved. The pills made from this should satisfy your friend..."
Yunlong Daoist turned around to leave.
At this moment, the giant wolf on the ground, with bloodshot eyes, spoke in human language, "Human... Who are you? How dare you insult me like this... The demon realm won't let you go!"
The Demon Saint's Holy Relic was taken away.
The Wolf Emperor was almost driven mad. He didn't fear death and directly questioned the old Daoist!
"I am Yunlong from Tianji Mountain. I came here at the request of the temple to take your relic... If the demon realm wants revenge, I am ready to face it," Yunlong Daoist casually said.
In the horrified and fearful gazes of the various demon beasts, he left in a floating manner!
"The Lord of Tianji Pavilion, how is that possible!?"
The Wolf Emperor, after hearing this, had a heart-wrenching expression. He fell unconscious upon realizing the significance.
All the races in the world naturally knew the name of Yunlong Daoist!
Moreover, he was considered one of the top figures in the world!
But... why did he suddenly appear at Jade Gate Pass, directly disabling two demon emperors without any explanation?
Wasn't Tianji Pavilion a neutral force!?
Moreover, judging from Yunlong Daoist's words, it seemed he had come at the request of someone from Tianji Pavilion... Since when did Tianji Pavilion have someone making requests?
And that person could even command the Lord of Tianji Pavilion himself to take action?!
...
Wu Feng, watching from the city wall, almost jumped with excitement when he saw this scene!
He had long sensed that the old Daoist was extraordinary, but he never expected him to be the Lord of Tianji Pavilion!
With two demon emperors disabled and the demon army's morale in chaos, when else would there be a better time to exploit this opportunity!?
Without wasting time explaining, Wu Feng immediately donned his armor, ran down the city tower, and loudly gave orders in the military camp!
"Soldiers, the opportunity has come. Now follow me for an expedition!"
The soldiers looked at him in utter confusion.
Today, with the three demon emperors gathered and a total of three hundred thousand troops launching a full-scale attack, it would be good enough to survive, let alone taking the initiative to attack. Is he crazy?
But Wu Feng didn't have time to explain so much.
He shouted:
"Within one stick of incense, all soldiers must assemble in front of the city gate and follow me out of the city to kill the demons!"
"If within one stick of incense, you haven't gathered, you'll be executed. If within two sticks of incense, you haven't gathered, the commanders will be executed. Similarly, those who behead enemy troops can come to me after the battle for double the silver reward!"
After saying this, Wu Feng immediately mounted his horse, setting an example for everyone.
Although there were risks in going out of the city, he knew that this was the only opportunity to boost morale since the national war began. Opportunities like these were rare and should not be missed!
Seeing him so serious, even bringing out military law, the soldiers were dumbfounded!
Looking at Lord Wu leading the way into battle, even if the power gap was enormous, could they really win?
After a while, they obeyed the orders, climbed out of the camp, and ran out of the city gate.
But when they saw the demons in the distance dispersing and retreating from the battlefield, their inner joy became overwhelming!
"Damn... charge!"
"Kill these beasts!"
"Brothers, the time to earn our keep has come!"
...
...In this battle, the Jing Nation triumphed against the strong, forcing the demon army to retreat a hundred miles after lifting the siege!
Although the demon realm's strength was still formidable, and the soldiers and generals won the battle somewhat inexplicably, the Jing Nation's declining situation clearly underwent a significant turning point!
On that night, right after removing his armor without even bothering to freshen up, Wu Feng rushed to the military camp to document everything and sent the victory report back to the capital!
