As Xiao Yifeng commanded the demon army's lone army to penetrate deeper, all the way back was cut off by the righteous path, and even supply became more difficult.
A hundred miles ahead of them was the last natural barrier before Beidi City, the Qingshui River.
The river is bone-chillingly cold, and the strong wind above it is extremely dangerous. Even if a monk is not careful, he will be injured by the strong wind and can only fly slowly.
Due to the existence of strong winds, even flying over a hundred-foot-wide river would take half a day, and fighting people on it would be like a nightmare.
There is a relatively gentle section in the middle of the river, and everyone passes by without exception.
But this is already the last hurdle in Beidi City. Crossing this river, it will be a smooth journey to Beidi City.
And Zhengdao did not defend by the river, but faced them on the cold mist and ice field a hundred miles in front of the river.
This is to avoid being blocked by the river after the defeat. When the time comes, there will be pursuers in front and natural danger behind, but the demon clan will catch the turtle in the jar.
Although a last-ditch battle sounds good, most of the time, in a real last-ditch situation, what will happen is only a huge collapse.
Therefore, the Qing Emperor stationed heavy troops a hundred miles in front of the Qingshui River. Even if they were defeated, they could retreat to the other side of the river and fight against the demon clan across the river.
Even if the Monster Clan really reaches the Qingshui River, it does not mean that the Northern Territory bounded by the Qingshui River has fallen into the hands of the Monster Clan, because there are several imperial cities on the other half of the river.
When the time comes, the demon army will be faced with a situation of being flanked by front and rear, and the situation is not optimistic either.
If the demon clan wants to occupy the Northern Territory, they can only defeat the righteous army in a battle on the cold fog ice field, force the righteous army to retreat, and then march straight in to confront the righteous army across the river.
Then they have to brave the natural dangers and defeat the righteous army on the Qingshui River before they can successfully cross the river and continue to Beidi City.
The last step is to rush thousands of miles to conquer Beidi City, which has been recharged and reinforced with an exhausted body, and occupy Beidi City.
There were three battles in total, the Cold Mist Icefield, Qingshui River, and Beidi City. Each battle was difficult to achieve, and they were all attacked from both sides.
Even though these demon kings had great trust in Xiao Yifeng's talents, they couldn't help but murmur at this moment.
After all, the difficulty is too high, and we are surrounded by enemies from both sides, and we go deep alone. No matter how we look at it, we have no chance of winning.
Now Xiao Yifeng had the entire demon army set up camp temporarily and seemed to be recharging his energy to continue attacking.
Now it seems that all he cares about is attacking, blindly attacking, but it works really well, making Zhengdao exhausted and has no intention of attacking them.
The morale of the ordinary demon soldiers soared, as if they had been given blood, but the demon king knew that the situation was not optimistic.
Once supplies are completely cut off and their retreat is cut off, they will be unable to capture Beidi City and their entire army will be buried here.
Therefore, from time to time, demon kings came to ask Xiao Yifeng about this battle, wanting to know what his plans were, hoping to get some reassurance.
As a result, I didn't get the reassurance, but I was satisfied with the rejection.
Xiao Yifeng was tired of being asked, so he simply said that he wanted to leave and left, and then closed the door without seeing anyone.
The demon kings looked at each other in confusion. Although they could leave, what about the elites of their own clan?
He and others are now deep in the enemy's hinterland, and they can't leave even if they really want to.
This is a pirate ship!
But they are not too worried. No matter what, with their Mahayana strength, can't they still escape?
They just couldn't bear to part with these tribesmen.
Xiao Yifeng was sitting in the tent, still a little bored, and the demon king's nagging questions were still ringing in his ears, which was like a demonic sound.
He couldn't help but curse: "A group of short-sighted and cowardly guys also want to capture the human race. They are really wishful thinking."
Yan Tianqin walked up behind him, let him lean against her, and gently rubbed the temples on his head.
She smiled softly and said, "Why are you angry with them? Anger will hurt your health."
Xiao Yifeng leaned against the soft spot on her body, slowly relaxed, and couldn't help laughing.
"You feel better? Why are you laughing? I always feel ill-intentioned." Yan Tianqin asked.
"It's nothing, I just remembered what someone said, who said it can't be used as a pillow?" Xiao Yifeng pointedly said.
Yan Tianqin was stunned for a moment, but then he realized what he was doing, his face turned red, and he said angrily: "Why are you so unruly?"
Xiao Yifeng relaxed all over and asked with a smile: "Why do you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid of dying with me?"
Yan Tianqin smiled softly and said: "I believe you, because I think you will not lose. Do you really plan to attack Beidi City in one fell swoop?"
"Why not? Why, you are reluctant to let the human realm be robbed?" Xiao Yifeng asked.
"Well, after all, it is a place where we have lived for countless years. Once Beidi City is breached, it will be difficult for the human race to have peace." Yan Tianqin nodded.
Xiao Yifeng did not comment, just closed his eyes and rested his mind.
After a long time, he said leisurely: "Don't worry, the Human Realm has tens of thousands of years of foundation, and there are still some talents. Even I can't break through the Human Realm that easily."
Yan Tianqin suddenly frowned and said worriedly: "Then you are not in danger?"
Xiao Yifeng couldn't help teasing her and asked: "Then do you hope that I will be fine, or do you hope that the human realm will be fine?"
Yan Tianqin suddenly frowned, and finally sighed: "I hope you are all well. If I have to choose one, I hope you are well."
Xiao Yifeng didn't expect that she actually gave the answer, and was a little surprised and said: "What about the human realm?"
Yan Tianqin said quietly: "There are so many capable people and strangers in the human realm who cannot protect them. What can I, a woman, do?"
"I'm not a saint with the world in mind. In my eyes, the world is very small and can only accommodate you."
Xiao Yifeng was a little moved and didn't want her to continue to be immersed in this tangled mood.
He deliberately leaned back, getting into deeper contact with the softness behind him, and joked, "Who said my beautiful lady doesn't have a broad mind? I am the only one who knows about such a big thing."
Yan Tianqin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She patted him with a blushing face and said angrily, "I'm not serious. I'm telling you business."
Xiao Yifeng said with a playful smile: "There is a way for Yan Mei to eradicate this devil like me for the sake of the world."
Yan Tianqin was stunned for a moment and said: "What can I do?"
"Clamp me to death..." Xiao Yifeng laughed loudly.
Yan Tianqin became angry, walked forward, sat down on him, and said angrily: "You will bully me, I will crush you!"
Xiao Yifeng hugged her and laughed: "It's okay if you don't cover me up to death... What a shame and humiliation!"
Yan Tianqin completely forgot about all the previous entanglements. She just thought that this guy might really be a thief, so she couldn't help but pull his ears.
"What a shame, isn't it?"
"Fairy, spare your life..."
