Chapter 518: Killing the Demon King (Part 1)(2/2)
Su Xiaofan, who was in the carriage, suddenly snorted coldly, "You two will be responsible for the perimeter defense tonight. Let a big demon come in and I'll wait for you to ask!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes!"
After hearing Su Xiaofan's message, Jiang Zhen and Sun Wu responded quickly. Although their faces were a little bitter, no one dared to refute Qingshan Martial Saint's decision.
You know, after leaving Tianyi City, you will be close to the border between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Earth.
In the border area, although there are no mountains and forests, there are several extremely powerful demon tribes living there.
If there are only a few demon clans, there is no need to worry, because there is a human team under the command of King Wu, and the intelligent demon clans usually will not disturb them, and they are not willing to have a war between humans and demon clans.
But underneath these monster clans, there are many monster beasts that depend on powerful monster clans for survival.
There are many monsters. Even if their strength has evolved to the realm of great monsters, their intelligence is far inferior to that of some monsters. They tend to hunt based on their own instincts.
Therefore, the border between the Heavenly Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom is often the most difficult place to pass, because you will encounter a large number of monster attacks here.
At night, there will be wandering ghosts and demons intruding. Even if you rely on the formations stationed in the camp, you will encounter many dangers.
Jiang Zhen and Sun Wu's attack could reduce the team's casualties to a minimum, but the drawback was that they would most likely attract the Demon King's attack.
According to the agreement between humans and demons, the King of Martial Arts and the Demon King cannot participate in battles below the king level.
But Su Xiaofan didn't care about that. If he couldn't kill a few demon kings when he brought Sun Wu out this time, it wouldn't have any practical effect at all.
Moreover, Su Xiaofan also wanted to see what kind of changes would happen to Jiang Zhen, who was engraved with formations that absorb the essence and blood of demonic beasts, after killing the demon king, and whether he could break the shackles of the Fu Lu Wu King who could not advance to the Martial Saint level.
"Ouch..."
Deep in the grassland, the howling of wolves was heard, and the team of hundreds of warriors obviously attracted the attention of the grassland hunters. Some monsters who hunted by instinct began to chase them.
However, although the Wind Chasing Horse is not of a high level among monsters, it ranks among the top in terms of speed and endurance.
So before the monster beasts could surround them, the team was gone like the wind, and only a dark group of monster beasts could be seen chasing after them.
During the march during the day, fighting between monsters and beasts was not allowed. Even if they were blocked, the generals and warriors such as Zhao Changqing and Zhao Changjun in front would clear the way.
This is because without the protection of the camp formation, the human warriors are far from being the opponents of the demon clan.
Just imagine that hundreds of warriors are surrounded by tens of thousands of monsters. Even the powerful King of Martial Arts has no choice but to flee, let alone those martial arts masters and generals.
Although the human race is very powerful in reproducing, it is really not enough in front of a nest of monster beasts that can give birth to seven or eight or even more than ten. In terms of numbers alone, the monster race will definitely crush the human race.
During the six or seven hours of galloping, whether the warrior was drinking and eating, or stuffing food into the wind-chasing horse, everything was done while running.
It wasn't until it got slightly dark that Zhao Changqing, who was running at the front, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the slightly higher open space in the distance.
No matter it is day or night, the wilderness is always dominated by the monsters. Even generals and warriors like them must rely on camps to resist the attacks of the monsters.
There were too many battles along the way. Almost every night, a large number of monsters would attack, and sometimes they would even be fighting all night long.
This kind of fighting also caused the warriors besides the escort to grow up rapidly.
For example, the warriors led by the royal princess and Young Master Liang can now rest on the wind-chasing horse while marching during the day, which they could not do when they first came out.
The horse team rushed into the camp like the wind. Almost all the warriors jumped off their horses immediately, gave the wind-chasing horses drinking water and food, and placed them in the innermost area of the camp.
Relying on leg strength alone, except for the strong men at the level of King Wu, even military generals cannot cross the grassland, so in the night battle, chasing the wind horse is even more important than their lives.
The warriors of the Escort Bureau sent some people to check the camp formation. It was common for the camp to be damaged by monsters.
However, this formation is at least arranged by Master Fulu. Unless the Demon King himself takes action, ordinary monsters cannot break the formation.
Moreover, the formation disk that activates the formation is carried by the team stationed here, so simply destroying the camp will not be very effective.
The non-combatants following the escort had already set up a large pot inside. After adding water, large pieces of monster meat were thrown into it.
As night fell, the temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees, and the wind howled outside the camp, making some extremely strange and weird sounds.
Around the camp, bonfires were lit everywhere, pushing back the evil spirit brought by the darkness a bit further into the distance.
The roars of the monsters echoed one after another around the camp. Perhaps it was because the sky was not completely dark yet, so neither the monsters nor the Yinshen started to attack the camp.
This also gave the warriors some time to eat and adjust. They knew that this time would be short, and when the last light on the horizon disappeared, it would be the time for the monsters to attack.
Not long after, the sound of fighting started, and the warriors of the Escort Bureau in the outermost realm had already started fighting against the monsters.
The royal family and the Liang family warriors who had rested for a while also joined the battle. They tried their best to place the battlefield outside the camp and not give those monsters a chance to attack the camp.
The number of demonic beasts besieging the camp this time was several times greater than the previous one. Tens of thousands of demonic beasts had gathered, including countless demonic beasts at the level of great demons.
The battle became fierce from the beginning. While the monsters were being slain, many warriors were seriously injured. If it weren't for the high-level military commanders holding the battle, the warrior team would have suffered casualties.
"You two, your mission today is two demon kings!"
Su Xiaofan opened the curtain of the carriage. He spent the whole day playing chess and chatting with Shen Haodong, and wanted to get out for some air.
However, what was dispersed in the camp was basically all the blood of blood, including the blood of human warriors, and more of the blood of monster beasts after they were killed.
Some monster beasts that were edible and tasted good were basically thrown into the camp, dissected by the non-combat entourage, and the meat was directly thrown into the cauldron.
As long as the battle lasts at night, those large pots will cook for as long as it takes. Any warrior who is hungry will take the time to eat a few mouthfuls of monster meat to increase his energy and blood, and then go back to the battle.
"Demon King? Master, do you want to die or live?"
Hearing Su Xiaofan's words, Sun Wu showed a trace of bloodthirsty expression on his face. When fighting at the same level, he had never been afraid of the demon king, but the demon clan did not respect demon ethics, so several demon kings would often attack him together.
"Nonsense, why do you need to be alive? Capture and raise them?"
Su Xiaofan rolled his eyes when he heard this. His disciple was a bit confused. He had almost forgotten everything he had just told him a few days ago.
"Sir, killing two demon kings will not trigger a war between humans and demons, right?"
Although Jiang Zhen looked very excited, there was a hint of worry on his face. As Shen Haodong's personal bodyguard, he did not act as unscrupulously as Jiang Zhen did.
"Just killing two demon kings, what kind of war will it cause?"
Su Xiaofan waved his hand and said: "You can take action, even if you kill a demon saint, I will protect you!"
"good!"
Jiang Zhen naturally believed in Master Qingshan's words. He immediately raised his hand and disappeared from the spot.
The two men threw themselves into the periphery of the camp, and suddenly the bodies of some big demon-level monsters exploded. They were unable to resist at all under King Wu's attack.
Two beams of energy and blood light that were seven to eight hundred meters high suddenly appeared in the night sky. However, Sun Wu and Jiang Zhen completely let go of their cultivation and attracted the monsters at the level of the great demon.
If you are a warrior in the early stage of the Martial King, under the siege of many great demons, you may be taken advantage of by the great demon when you are exhausted. Such things have not never happened.
But Sun Wu and Jiang Zhen were both strong men in the late stage of King Wu who were only one step away from the Martial Saint. Once the King of Martial Realm was opened, batches of big monsters were shocked to death inside.
The great demon killed by Sun Wu in King Wu's Domain was slightly different from Jiang Zhen.
In the case of the great demon that was killed by Sun Wu, the demon souls were dispersed between heaven and earth. During the battle, Sun Wu was unable to condense the soul elixir, and the benefits he gained were not many.
But Jiang Zhen is different. Jiang Zhen's Martial King's domain is like a sea of blood at this moment.
Because the energy and blood of all the great demon beasts killed by Jiang Zhen flowed out of the body uncontrollably and appeared in King Wu's domain.
The latest engraved formation patterns appeared on Jiang Zhen's body. The dense formation patterns were constantly absorbing the energy and blood of the monster beasts, strengthening his own strength.
As Qi and blood continued to pour into the formation pattern, Jiang Zhen's aura was constantly changing, and even the demon soul after the death of the great demon entered the formation pattern piece by piece.
Jiang Zhen could clearly feel that the energy and blood in his body seemed to be undergoing some kind of change, especially the strength of his physical body, which was constantly increasing.
The power of qi and blood strengthened Jiang Zhen's physical body. This kind of strengthening did not require Jiang Zhen to distract himself from control at all. It was completely transformed by the set of formations. The effect was so good that even Jiang Zhen was speechless during the battle.
.
"Brother, this spirit-gathering array pattern is very effective."
Outside Jiang Zhen's domain, two figures stood there, it was Su Xiaofan and Shen Haodong.
But neither the monsters that were surrounding and killing Jiang Zhen nor Jiang Zhen who was experiencing the changes in his body noticed the two people. They seemed to be invisible.
"That's not enough. If you want to advance to the Martial Saint level, you must at least absorb the essence and blood of the Martial Saint to strengthen your body."
Su Xiaofan observed for a while and shook his head. The power of the demon's energy and blood had only an average effect on King Wu, and could not achieve any qualitative change.
Even the demon king's essence blood can only increase Jiang Zhen's physical strength by one level at most, and he probably still won't be able to withstand the pressure of carving the demon saint's essence blood array pattern.
Things that have troubled the Talisman warriors for tens of thousands of years are not so easy to solve. Otherwise, so many amazing and talented seniors would have solved this problem long ago, and they would not be able to break this shackles to this day.
"The blood of the demon saint, this... this is not easy to deal with."
Shen Haodong frowned when he heard this. Each of the demon clan and demon saints was famous, and they had countless vassal clans under their command.
Although in the war between the human race and the demon race, some demon clans had fallen, but this happened only once in thousands of years. Usually, more demon saints died due to internal strife among the demon clans.
With Shen Haodong's strength, he could kill the relatively weaker Demon Saint, but the noise would definitely be huge. If he really wanted to do this, it would definitely cause a war between the Demon Race and the Human Race.
"You kid, are you plotting against me again?"
Seeing Shen Haodong's gloomy look, Su Xiaofan smiled and cursed: "I won't take action, and you can't take action either. If the two of them can kill a demon saint, they will both have a chance to break through!"
The reason why Su Xiaofan brought Sun Wu with him on this trip was to use the Demon Saint to temper him. Only in this battle of life and death can Sun Wu's energy and spirit be sublimated and promoted to the realm of the Martial Saint.
"Isn't this... too difficult?"
After hearing what his elder brother Qingshan said, Shen Haodong looked at Jiang Zhen and Sun Wu with some pity.
However, Shen Haodong also knew that with his Qingshan elder brother's protective character, even if these two people could not kill the Demon Saint, their lives would not be in danger.
"Why did King Wu take action to kill my tribe?"
