Killing God - Chapter 125
Chapter 125 Array Provocation
“Old monkey.”
“Huh?”
“You said that our Azure Snake Clan has been stalemate here for a long time. Let alone the Black Phoenix Demon race over there, why didn’t you call? Now it’s obvious that we’re going to harm them. We’re almost outside Phoenix Cry City.”
“Because they have fewer demon soldiers than we do.”
“Ah, so simple?”
“Nonsense.”
“That’s strange. Since you mean that Black Phoenix Demon race is afraid of us, then why don’t you just hide back in Fengming City and defend the city? Instead, you want to stare at us on the Spirit Monkey Slope that is a hundred miles away from the city?”
‘”You still don’t admit that you’re stupid. A little demon wants to rush to your house to fight and ravage the house. Do you want to beat him up at home, or do you want to just kill him outside the house and go home and sleep peacefully?”
“Oh … get rid of him outside!”
“Isn’t this the end?”
Old Bai Monkey angrily glared at Shen Shi beside him. The two of them were currently wandering around the camp of the Azure Snake Demon. Ever since Shen Shi cultivated those sorcery techniques, and he even wore a black robe to make himself look realistic, although he was only nineteen years old, he looked extremely gloomy. In the past few years, he actually didn’t have many friends, that is, Old Bai Monkey and Shen Shi, these two old friends would be closer to him.
Shen Shi chatted with Old Bai Monkey. In the blink of an eye, they saw a few slender fox demons with thin eyes and long ears playing around in a corner of the Azure Snake Army Camp. Beside them were four or five Azure Snake Guards. They were Yu Lin’s trusted aides. It looked like they were chasing away other Demon race from these fox demons, and they didn’t know what they were doing.
Shen Shi touched the Old Bai Monkey and signaled for him to look over. At the same time, he was a little puzzled. “Old Monkey, do you know what they’re doing?”
Old Bai Monkey glanced over, then turned his head expressionlessly and said indifferently, “I don’t know.”
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect this old monkey to answer so straightforwardly. A strange expression flashed across his face, but he didn’t ask any further. He just walked away side by side with the old monkey and said, “It’s already the eighth day. Is this battle going to be fought or not?”
The old white monkey sneered and said, “Don’t be anxious. Perhaps a war will break out in the blink of an eye. When the time comes, if you suffer, don’t accidentally die on the battlefield.”
Shen Shi laughed loudly and patted Old Bai Monkey on the shoulder. Just as he was about to say something, a loud horn suddenly sounded from the depths of the barracks. It was loud and sharp, resounding throughout the entire Azure Snake Barracks.
The expressions of the old white monkey and Shen Shi changed. The sound of the military bugle was precisely the signal that the Azure Snake Monstrous Clan was preparing to gather their troops to begin their battle. After waiting for eight days, was this battle finally about to begin without warning?
Shen Shi took a deep breath and turned around to take large strides. Yu Lin was quite strict under his control, and since the war horn sounded, the big and small demon generals had to move forward as soon as possible. However, before he could take two steps forward, he suddenly heard Old Bai Monkey’s cry from behind him, “Stone.”
Shen Shi turned to look at him and said, “What’s wrong, old monkey?”
A trace of regret flashed across the old white monkey’s face. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “I was just joking. Don’t take it to heart.”
Shen Shi laughed and waved his hand, “I know. How can I take that seriously?”
Old Bai Monkey seemed to be a little worried. He chased after her and warned her, “There are no swords or spears on the battlefield. Don’t be brave. Don’t go all out like those simple-minded fellows. No matter how powerful you are, you only have one life.”
Shen Shi stopped smiling and nodded, “I know.” After saying that, he glanced at the old white monkey and turned around to take large strides. Along the way, countless demon generals and small demons crawled out of their tents and swarmed towards the largest tent where the Heavenly Azure Snake Demon Lord, Yu Lin, resided.
On this day, after eight days of confrontation between the Azure Snake and Black Phoenix demon races in the north and south of Spirit Monkey Slope, it was finally the Azure Snake demon race that launched the attack first.
④
The Heavenly Azure Snake Demon had shown signs of mobilizing to attack. The Black Phoenix Demon Army, which had been waiting for many days, quickly received the news. Following a commotion, the demon army in the camp also formed up.
The demon armies on both sides slowly approached with the Spirit Monkey Slope as the center, but when they were about a hundred feet apart, they stopped at the same time.
On the battlefield, A murderous intent filled the air. The wind blew across the hillside, Shen Shi, who was standing in the middle of the demon army, silently looked at the pitch-black area in front of Black Phoenix Demon race. He subconsciously touched the cloth bag tied to his belt. There were many magical symbols he had made in the past few years. There were four sorts of magical symbols and six sorts of five-element magical symbols. These magical symbols were his most reliable methods in a dangerous and unpredictable battlefield where his life was at stake at any moment.
In the distant woods, the sound of branches and leaves trembling in the wind seemed so clear at this moment, as if it foreshadowed the impending calamity of bloody light. Sure enough, it was only a short while later that the Azure Skysnake Demon made a move. On the right side of the army camp, a group of about a hundred Demon Soldiers led by a powerful Demon General walked to the middle of the two armies.
What was this all about?
The soldiers on the Black Phoenix Demon race’s side were in a commotion. Within the Azure Snake Clan’s array, there were also a large number of Demon race who didn’t know why and looked at each other in dismay. Could it be that the battle intent that had been brewing for such a long time shouldn’t be waved by Empress Yu Lin’s hand and everyone’s army would rush to kill, hacking and killing to their heart’s content? Why did such a small group of over a hundred people appear again?
Shen Shi was also stunned. He raised his eyes and looked around. Suddenly, his heart stirred. He discovered that the leader of the squad was actually Earth Dog.
Under the watchful eyes of the two armies, Earth Dog and a group of demon soldiers swaggered to the middle. Their faces were filled with arrogance, and then they abruptly shouted at the other side loudly.
Naturally, those words were extremely vulgar, and there was no need to describe them in detail. However, the meaning behind those words was not complicated. After greeting the relatives of the Black Phoenix Demon race and the usual contempt and mockery, Earth Dog introduced himself with a cold smile. He then asked if there were any heroes in the Black Phoenix Army who dared to come out and fight me.
Speaking of which, no matter if it was the Black Phoenix or the Azure Snake Demon race, they all understood what it meant to be in the middle of this group of demon soldiers.
Since ancient times, Demon race had always been a race that highly respected martial arts, followed by the worship and admiration of powerful heroes. In ancient times, during the civil war in Demon race, there would often be a confrontation between the two armies, with one general on each side fighting one another in front of the army formation. Such a one-on-one duel would naturally boost the morale of the victors, and the losers would often be extremely depressed, causing the entire army to collapse. For many years, this kind of atmosphere had been passed down in Demon race, and it had never ceased.
But over the years, The war in the Demon Realm was chaotic, The battles became even more brutal. This kind of heroic one-on-one duel with the style of an ancient gentleman gradually faded away. Instead, it was often replaced by a swarm of chaotic battles and mass killings, like headless flies. In the eyes of some demons who were reminiscing about their ancestors, oh, yes, the typical example was the old white monkey, who often complained incessantly and often mocked and ridiculed.
However, although this type of one-on-one duel was rarely seen now, the worship of heroes was deeply rooted in the bones of all the demons. Each demon clan was flocking to this type of one-on-one duel that caused their blood to boil. After discovering that the Azure Snake side had actually sent out a general to openly provoke them, the entire Black Phoenix Demon Clan’s army immediately became excited.
Well, it’s okay to say angry.
Facing such a challenge and not responding to it was definitely a detrimental move. Although it might not be an exaggeration for the entire army to be defeated, the morale of the two armies was extremely important and could not be lost at all. Hence, Black Phoenix Demon race quickly responded. The former formation demon soldier moved aside and walked out of the camp. A tall and sturdy demon general also led a hundred demon soldiers and aggressively walked towards the open space between the two armies. The target was Earth Dog.
Seeing these two groups of powerful demon soldiers arrive at a close distance, the air above the battle formation was already extremely tense. The swords and blades were already unsheathed, and a cold light flickered. Countless demon soldiers and demon generals in the armies of both sides began to clamor, and their voices were like huge waves as they rolled over the Spirit Monkey Slope.
Within the Azure Snake Demon Army, Shen Shi couldn’t help but tremble slightly. It wasn’t fear, but an excitement triggered by the bloody killing intent.
Under the watchful eyes of all Demon race, Earth Dog and the Black Phoenix Demon General sneered at each other, then ordered their personal guards to retreat and return to their respective camps. Originally, he had brought these personal guards along just in case, but now, the situation was obvious. No matter which side it was, if they were to engage in a one-on-one duel under the gaze of everyone, it would only cause Demon race, who had witnessed this scene, to feel contempt in his heart.
Regardless of whether they were enemies or friends!
After the personal guards left, there were only two powerful demon generals left in the arena. The Earth Dogs were strong and valiant, but the demon general that the Black Phoenix Clan fought was a ferocious looking Black Bear Demon General. He was much bigger than the Earth Dogs. It was a powerful demon general that possessed terrifying power, causing one to feel terrified.
However, when faced with such a strong opponent, there was not the slightest bit of fear on his face. Instead, he kept licking his scarlet lips with his long tongue, revealing a bloodthirsty and murderous look.
As the howls of the two camps gradually grew louder, the two confronting demon generals suddenly let out a furious roar and charged forward, killing each other.
Almost the first time they met, bright red blood spilled into the air. Sharp ice blades cut the two extremely powerful Demon race’s body with bloody wounds and spilled blood. However, they did not seem to care. Their expressions became more and more ferocious as they howled and killed each other again.
After the blood splashed out, countless onlookers felt as if they had been stimulated by something. All sorts of shouts rose and fell, and they were filled with excitement.
Everywhere in the Azure Snake Demon race’s army was like this. From the demon generals to the most ordinary demons, they were all excited about this one-on-one duel between life and death. Only in the middle of the army, surrounded by shouting demon generals, did the Azure Snake Demon Lord Yu Lin remain calm.
On her beautiful and charming face, her expression had always been faint. A faint light flashed through her pair of icy cold snake eyes, but there was not even the slightest bit of excitement. Apart from that, most of the demon generals beside her were excited. Even though they knew that the dogs fighting for their lives in the distance might not be able to hear their words of encouragement, these young demon generals still roared without restraint. It seemed that as long as they could make a louder sound, they would be able to give the dogs more strength.
Within the crowd, the old white monkey standing a little far behind Yu Lin coldly looked at the scene around him. However, there was no excitement on the old face of those young demons. Instead, it was a strange kind of pity, mixed with a disappointed expression.
No one knew what he was thinking, and no one cared what this old monkey demon would think.
Old Bai Monkey stood silently in the sea of demons like a mountain howl and tsunami. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his body. He was like a flat boat in a ferocious sea that could sink into this ruthless and cruel sea at any moment. Until the corner of his eyes swept across the other side, he was suddenly stunned. However, he saw a corner that was also surrounded by the Demon General’s Demon Armament. Shen Shi stood there quietly with a calm and indifferent expression on his face.
The old white monkey stared deeply at the man through the sea of demons and the overwhelming howls. After a while, he slowly turned his head. On his withered face, he grinned and smiled silently.
The smile seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, gentle and with a trace of gratification.
