The Great Wild God - Chapter 698
Chapter 698 Trade One’s Life for One’s Life
Even in Light Island, demonic beasts that numbered more than ten zhang, or even tens of zhang, were quite common.
Back then, Li Hu had personally captured a giant tiger that was more than 50 feet tall, which was why he had become the Black Iron Man Wu of the Jiuli Clans and obtained his name.
However, looking at the tens of thousands of magical creatures that were more than ten zhang tall or even tens of zhang tall, like an ancient flood, rushing towards Yue Shan City, the scene was far more trembling than he had imagined.
The tremors caused by the impact of thousands of trolls caused the mountain slopes in front of him to tear apart horrible cracks. The cliff stones collapsed-Li Hu suspected that even if his cultivation was several tens of thousands of times weaker, his entire body would be stirred up by the intense tremors.
At the forefront of the Demon Race’s battle formation were all gray bone demons. There were 3,000 to 5,000 of them. They were like skeletal golems crafted from gray divine iron. They quickly crossed valleys and streams and rushed towards them.
The empty eye sockets of the Gray Bone Skeleton Demon were even bigger than the copper basin, but there were two balls of blood-colored demonic flames burning fiercely, containing endless power.
Li Hu estimated that the dark gray skeleton was even more indestructible than the Divine Mark Cold Iron that the Jiuli Clans regarded as a secret treasure. Moreover, the outer layer was covered with an additional layer of Black Fiend, causing the skeletal demon statues to be shrouded in a black mist.
Among the barbarian martial heroes, there were some experts who were skilled in archery. They could cover twenty to thirty kilometers away from the arrow rain, but only a few of the iron plume secret talisman arrows shot out could pierce through the giant bones of the skeletal demons. They were unable to hesitate about the progress of the thousands of skeletal demons.
Before Li Hu could finish sighing over the huge difference between the human and demon bodies, the thousands of gray bone demons at the front stopped on the ridge more than twenty miles away, took off the bone spear behind him, and threw it towards them to cover the clouds and cover the sun.
Li Hu could see the bone spears forming spiral ripples in the air. He thought to himself, If these thousands of bone spears were shot at one place, could they kill the real Fiendgods?
“Shield!”
The captain in charge of their group of barbarian martial heroes ordered loudly that Li Hu and the two barbarian martial practitioners of the same tribe erect the black iron shield that was more than three meters wide on the surface of the shield and prop it up with their shoulders.
“Boom!”
Before Li Hu could react, his body was sent flying by the terrifying force. In midair, he saw his two companions being smashed to pieces by the force.
The Black Iron Shield, which weighed more than a thousand kilograms, also shattered into pieces and sprayed towards the battle formation behind him …
Li Hu couldn’t feel the pain, but he saw his right arm suddenly fall off. It turned out that his right shoulder had been shattered by the huge force just now, and he couldn’t connect his right arm to his body anymore.
Li Hu did not fear death at all, but thinking about how they would deal with their sister and A Xia in Mount Yueshan City if the human battle formation was destroyed so easily by the demons, what should they do?
Why are humans so weak? Why are they so weak in front of the powerful demons?
Li Hu howled in pain and despair in his heart.
The Clan Master said that although he cultivated battle techniques, his strength was no weaker than that of a mid-late embryonic realm martial cultivator from the sect. However, he, Ah Ya, and Tie Niu were unable to withstand even a bone spear thrown by the Skeletal Demon. Does the human race still have the slightest hope of defending Mount Yue City?
When Li Hu fell from mid-air, he saw hundreds of Winged Demons suddenly rush out from behind the Demon Race battle formation and pounce into the hillside where he was just now.
Those winged demons flapped their metallic wings, and six pairs of sharp claws were comparable to the sharpest profound weapons. They were able to easily tear apart a savage martial artist, along with the heavy armor they wore, into pieces.
In the blink of an eye, blood had flowed out of the small hill guarded by tens of thousands of barbarian martial heroes …
However, none of them wanted to retreat. If one person was unable to resist the Winged Demon and the Skeletal Demon, then ten people, then a hundred people. Raising their spears and halberds, they pulled out their iron bows and crossbows and concentrated on one of the Winged Demons and the Skeletal Demon.
Even if all the barbarian martial artists on this mountain fell, there would still be more barbarian martial artists behind them. Their goal was only one. Even if 10,000 or 100,000 people died in battle, they would still be able to ensure that the northern flanks of the Mountain River Slaughter Formation would not be directly attacked by the demons.
Li Hu fell from mid-air and smashed a hole in the soft grass. He got up and saw a halberd soaked in blood not far from him. Without hesitation, he picked it up and wrapped his broken right shoulder. He joined a group of barbarian martial artists and continued to charge towards the top of the mountain.
This was the second line of defense for the left wing of the Mountain River Slaughter Formation in the southeast corner of Mount Yueshan City. If they were unable to defend it, the Mountain River Slaughter Formation formed by the twenty thousand strong soldiers would be directly attacked by the demon army. The Mountain Yueshan City and the tens of thousands of humans who had fled into Mount Yueshan City would be in danger and fall into the demon race’s hands.
Li Hu knew that there was a very slim chance of guarding this mountain in front of him, but he knew that only if he died on this mountain like Ah Ya and Tie Niu would his sister and A Xia be able to escape into the cave space in advance.
This was a rule set by the Thundercloud Island Sect Master, Chen Xun. He didn’t know if this rule was reasonable, but in his opinion, it was absolutely fair.
The legendary Void Origin Spirit Land was currently floating in the air of Mount Yueshan City. After the restriction of the Profound Court was completely opened, it completely revealed its original appearance to the world.
The Void Origin Spirit Land formed from a green pearl was actually larger than Mount Yue City. Mountains, rivers, and clouds appeared. It looked like the legendary Misty Immortal Mountain, but it was truly displayed in front of the world. It was also the last hope of life for the hundreds of millions of humans in Light Island.
However, even if the tens of millions of humans in Mount Yueshan City were to be stored in the Void Origin Pearl, it would not be a simple matter. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers and demon generals were currently slaughtering them from the mountains to the east.
Only those who died in battle would be able to arrange for their relatives to enter the Void Origin Spirit Land in advance. The others had to first use the two Mountain River Killing Formations as their core and defend the southeast and northeast lines of Yue Shan City.
Otherwise, the millions of humans that had entered Yue Shan City would be burned to ashes, and no one would be able to survive by luck.
**************************
Just as Li Hu and more than a hundred barbarian martial artists rushed up the hill, dozens of Winged Demons pounced over to cover the sky and cover the sun.
Don’t defend. Defense is useless.
Li Hu used his last bit of strength to stab the halberd in his hand into the abdomen of a Winged Demon. It was unknown how effective this stab was. His body had already been torn into pieces by his flipping claws, leaving only a wisp of his remnant soul floating in mid-air. Fortunately, he was not sucked into the abdomen by the Winged Demon …
He’s dead?
“Ao!”
A blood-colored azure dragon rose from the sky above the Mountain River Slaughter Formation and pounced towards the hundreds of Winged Demons on this mountain. In the blink of an eye, it tore a dozen Winged Demons into pieces.
However, even more Winged Demons and Skeletal Demons crazily surrounded him. The blood-colored Azure Dragon quickly lost its hold and was torn into countless fragments that floated in midair.
Twenty thousand elite armored soldiers formed the Mountain River Battle Formation. Twenty thousand elite armored soldiers sacrificed their vital essence blood into the Azure Dragon Flag. Their divine souls were connected to the Azure Dragon Flag, and their killing intent condensed into a blood cloud. Then, they condensed into a hundred zhang giant blood dragon that soared through the nine heavens. It was comparable to a human Xuan Xiu in the third stage of Nirvana, and was comparable to a demonic beast that had survived three tribulls.
However, such a powerful blood-colored Azure Dragon was still unable to withstand the attacks of hundreds of demon soldiers and demon generals.
Although the slaughter formation could gather the weak to resist the strong, the price was also extremely shocking.
After the blood-colored Azure Dragon was dispersed, as long as the surging battle intent was not dispelled, as long as the killing intent of the soldiers was still there, as long as the fundamental blood-colored Azure Dragon Flag of the Mountain River Killing Formation was not destroyed, and as long as the Mountain River Killing Formation was not attacked by force, it would be able to condense again.
However, every time the Blood Dragon Azure Dragon was defeated, hundreds or even thousands of soldiers in the Mountain River Slaughter Formation would be destroyed due to the backlash. They would fall silently into the formation and lose their lives …
This was the price.
In order to protect the Mountain and River Slaughter Formation from the direct attacks of the demons, and to ensure that the Mountain and River Slaughter Formation could fuse with the blood-colored dragons to kill powerful enemies at any time, hundreds of thousands of barbarian martial artists had formed several defensive lines on the periphery. The heavy casualties were even more unbearable to witness.
Blood surged and flowed along the cracks in the cliff into the streams. The streams and rivers outside Mountain Crossing City had already turned into blood rivers …
Waves of Brahma singing came from the top of Yue Shan City.
Although Li Hu only had a wisp of his remnant soul floating in mid-air, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief when he heard this Buddhist song. He knew that this was the legendary Rebirth Curse that could scatter the remnant soul into the void and reincarnate.
When Li Hu saw his younger sister, A Xia’s face was full of tears. She stood on the cloud platform that was about to ascend to the cave space, but she stared at the direction where he had just died.
Is it time to return to reincarnation?
Should we now resign ourselves to fate and wait for fate in the next life?
At this moment, the void in front of the Void Origin Spirit Land suddenly twisted. A six-armed Giant Demon with a seductive face raised its Diamond Saber and Heavenly Blade and slashed towards the Void Origin Spirit Land, as if it wanted to kill the Void Origin Spirit Land and exterminate the last hope of the hundreds of millions of humans in Light Island.
At this moment, Li Hu’s remnant soul was about to disperse in fear. Sister and A Xia were about to enter the Void Origin Spirit Lands. If the Void Origin Spirit Lands were to be shattered by this seemingly seductive demonic creature, Sister and A Xia would never be lucky enough to survive.
However, at this moment, he had already lost a wisp of his soul, so he could only watch helplessly as this scene occurred.
“Ao!”
In the Void Origin Spirit Land, there was a spiritual mist covering the core area. At this time, seven giant pythons suddenly shot out from the spiritual mist.
The Seven-Headed Python opened the Heaven Swallowing Giant and spat out seven rays of light that were as thick as water, charging towards the Six-Armed Giant Demon.
It wasn’t a seven-headed python, but a python with seven ferocious heads!
The Six-Armed Giant Demon was also shocked. The Golden Guillotine Blade and the Heavenly Blade violently danced, and light and shadows shot towards the Seven-Headed Giant Python like mountains.
An immortal-looking green-clothed woman stood on one of the pythons’ ferocious heads, but she was unhurried. In an instant, she saw thousands of green vines growing crazily in Mount Yue City. In the end, the branches of these green vines wrapped around the pythons’ bodies.
At this moment, the python was even more ferocious. It seemed to be blessed by boundless divine power. It was entangled with the Six-Armed Giant Demon and was actually evenly matched. It forced the Six-Armed Giant Demon to retreat and could no longer directly threaten the Void Origin Spirit Land …
