Even as the Haizhou War continued, the war in Shenzhou Continent, the main battlefield between humans and demons, did not stop. It was just because the demons were affected by the Haizhou War and mobilized many troops. Therefore, there was no sign of a large-scale war. Instead, small-scale conflicts became increasingly common. Increase. However, the human military strength is originally smaller than that of the demons, but the number of masters is almost the same, so they have been able to withstand the demons' attack. With the gradual popularization of cultivation techniques, their strength has become increasingly strong, and they have been able to carry out limited counterattacks.
Zhongzhou, the heartland of the Song Dynasty in mainland China, has been the center of Kyushu since ancient times. China's important land is densely populated, economically developed, and culturally prosperous. It is also known as the Central Plains. Since ancient times, it has the reputation of "whoever conquers the Central Plains will conquer the world." And whenever the dynasty changes, the new dynasty will only be regarded as the orthodoxy of China by the people of the world if it completely occupies the Central Plains. After the founding of the Song Dynasty, they worked hard to govern Zhongzhou and made it prosperous.
However, when a demonic disaster suddenly swept across the world, Zhongzhou was naturally not spared. There is no reason for the senior lords, demon gods and other high-level officials in the demon clan to let go of strategic locations such as Zhongzhou, so they have invested a large amount of troops here. Since the outbreak of the demonic disaster, Zhongzhou has been one of the areas where the demonic disaster is most rampant. And also because the Central Plains was an important place that the dynasty could not afford to lose, the Song Dynasty and various major sects also deployed heavy troops and many disciples and powerful cultivators again. In the early stages of the outbreak of the demonic disaster, the various territories in the Central Plains could be said to have changed hands many times, with hundreds of millions of lives lost and lost. The vast land has shed countless amounts of blood from demons and humans, which can be described as a "millstone of flesh and blood." The thick bloody killing and death aura at the end of the earth and air has not completely dissipated even after many purifications and dissipations by the cultivators.
The original external defensive barrier of a dilapidated small city has been completely shattered, and one side of the city wall has completely collapsed. The city is filled with flames, and large areas of blood stains and strange-shaped monster corpses are everywhere. The thick bloody smell is rising straight into the sky, which is disgusting. Thousands of remaining demons, led by a tall demon leader with bat wings on his back who was obviously a high-level demon race, desperately rushed out of the gap and fled to the northwest.
"You monsters used to do evil and kill people. It is already a heinous crime. Don't run away and accept death." A disdainful shout came from the sky. Then a huge golden red fireball fell from the sky like a scorching sun and fell into the center of the group of monsters. Immediately, flames shot out, and the fierce flames soared into the sky, turning a radius of one mile into a sea of fire, covering the demon group. The golden red flame is extremely hot and obviously has properties such as "destroying evil". But once the strong demons were wrapped in the fire, they immediately struggled violently and were in great pain. But after a few seconds, flames would spurt out from their seven orifices and burn all over their bodies, and then their whole bodies would turn into ashes.
"Shout, hateful human beings!" A huge black shadow suddenly flew out of the sea of fire. After flying out of the sea of fire, its body suddenly spread out and turned into a huge demon with a pair of huge bat wings on its back, ten feet tall, and its whole body covered with black energy scales. It turned out that the demon lord saw that the situation was not going well and had to reveal his true form as a demon to resist the burning flames. However, this demon's true form is the natal skill of a high-level demon. It can use the natal demonic energy in the demon core to stimulate the body to double its strength. However, the effective time ranges from one hour to one day until the natal demonic energy cannot maintain the demon's true form. After consumption, it will return to the original state and it will also consume a certain amount of cultivation. In short, the time limit is relatively limited, so it is mostly regarded as a desperate skill. It's just that most of the demon leader's strength has been consumed in the previous city offensive and defensive battles, so the demon's real body inspired is not very stable. As for the other demons who followed the demon leader, they all died in the sea of fire because they did not escape with him.
After the demon leader rushed out of the sea of fire, he seemed to be angry. Each of his hands inspired a purple ball of light, which merged into one in front of his chest. He quickly recited two spells in his mouth, and a purple ray shot out from the purple ball of light and concentrated somewhere in the sky. After hearing a muffled groan, a human cultivator wearing a fiery red robe with a pale face was beaten out. However, judging from the red shield-shaped magic weapon he was blocking in front of him, it seemed that he was not injured by the demon leader's attack.
The demon lord was happy when he saw that he had hit the red-robed cultivator, but he did not continue to attack. Instead, he waved his bat wings and turned his head to fly to the northwest.
But before it flew very far into the clouds in the sky, it suddenly flew out with red light like lightning, rushed across a distance of several hundred meters, and penetrated into the belly of the demon lord before the demon leader had time to react. The demon lord screamed and suddenly a large red flame erupted from his abdomen, wrapping his whole body into a huge fireball. At the same time, a cultivator also wearing a red robe appeared in the air, flew to the fireball transformed by the demon leader, and punched a string of seals into it. The color of the flame changed from red to blue, and then from blue to white, and the temperature inside also increased rapidly. The screams of the demon leader in the ascending fireball could still be heard at first, but gradually weakened and finally stopped completely.
Without any care, the red-robed cultivator inserted a series of seals into it, causing the fireball to gradually shrink and finally turned into a white fireball as big as a human head. Then he took away the seals and held it in his hand to disperse the firepower. When the flames dissipated, he saw only a palm-sized red crystal lying in his hand. The crystal was flaming red, as if it had been soaked in endless blood, and seemed to have been poured into flame magma. There was a ball of crystal white light suspended inside, which looked very magical. When the cultivator saw the red crystal, he took a long breath and couldn't help but look happy in his eyes.
"Congratulations, senior brother, for successfully hunting a magic crystal. Judging from its appearance, it should be a demon leader who is only a hair away from the lord. With his magic crystal, he can refine a mid-level magic weapon." The young red-robed cultivator from before He also flew over and congratulated while looking at the magic crystal with an envious expression.
