At dawn, the lone star shines, and the vast sea embraces the amiable smoke and shadows, waking up in the coldness of early autumn.
Everything is still and the first ray of sunlight has not yet arrived.
The decisive battle came as scheduled, with the loud sound of the horn piercing the morning light, the howling of the wind rising and falling, and Xi Yao's high spirits, urging the barbarian army to come in force.
In the long sky, there are many black shadows, and more than a hundred huge flying boats fill the sky. The boats' heads are held high, and they are advancing in the wind with the force of swallowing mountains and drinking seas. The sails were fluttering, and under the shadow of the sails, countless high-level demon cultivators stood solemnly with murderous intent.
On the distant sea surface, one after another vigorous figures are marching forward on the waves, with the puppets in front, the monsters in the middle, and the cultivators in the rear.
Shrimps, soldiers and crabs will dance with swords, turtles, spirits, fish and demons will speed up. Tigers, leopards, bears, lions, elephants and wolves will swarm in shoulder to shoulder.
The monster soldiers gathered around a number of strange beasts, most of them huge and grotesque in appearance. They were not like creatures born from nature, but looked like monsters made from the bones of corpses.
In Zixia City, the war horn sounded vigorously, and the monks all over the city performed their duties.
After a moment, the sound of clear chirping suddenly sounded, the city defense restrictions were opened one after another, and thousands of colored rays of light came out, lingering, covering the castle impervious to wind and rain.
Li Xiaoyang led the crowd to the city tower and looked around. In front of him was a scene that was shaking the sky and the earth.
The black clouds crowded by the demon army and demon beasts slowly pressed in, and they formed a formation outside the sea several miles in front of the city.
The roar of the beasts suddenly stopped, and tens of thousands of puppet beasts took off and flew, forming a camp wall that stretched for more than ten miles. The dark city wall was broken up one after another, and ten gates were opened for entry and exit.
The noise of the flying boats also stopped, and some ranging from three to five, or seven or eight, formed a formation one after another and parked in the air within the camp wall.
Xi Yao stepped out of the battle alone astride the green dragon and shouted: "Please answer the cultivator!" His voice was loud and clear, and could be heard from hundreds of miles away.
Li Xiaoyang deliberately tried to frustrate him, so he mounted the Suanni beast and invited Xuanyuan Yi to ride the horned dragon and go out of the city to talk together.
The Suanni beast looks like a lion, the same shape as the mountains. It breathes smoke and mist, and steps on the wilderness. Its golden fur shines all over its body, and its ferocious and domineering spirit has reached the extreme.
On the other hand, the horned dragon is a hundred feet long, its body is as white as snow, its scaly body has spines, its jaw contains a pearl, its horns are slightly forked, and its sound is like a clanking copper plate. The aura is slightly weaker than that of the Qinglong, but when it raises its head and roars, the aura of the king escapes, and all beasts are in awe.
It is said that when Huanglong ascended to Xuanyuan, he left behind a dragon egg, which hatched into a horned dragon. After thousands of years, the horned dragon can transform into a yellow dragon, also known as Yinglong, with two wings on its back, and become the overlord of the world.
There was a hint of envy in Xi Yao's eyes, as if he was more concerned about the potential of the horned dragon than the emerging power of the two beasts.
All living beings in this world are suppressed by the current plane and bound by the rules of heaven.
Their cultivation can only approach the stage of Nirvana infinitely. Once they break through, they are regarded as heretics. Most of them die under the severe thunders of heaven's punishment. If they are lucky enough to survive, they will definitely ascend to another world and it will be difficult to stay in this world.
Such as the dragon, dragon, phoenix, turtle, etc., are no exception. The attack methods of divine beasts are simple. Compared with monks, they have talent bonuses and are more powerful with every move and gallop, but they may not really be able to kill all souls with a single move.
Observe the majestic appearance of the Suan Ni and the Horned Dragon, check their auras, and it's hard to win the encounter with the Azure Dragon. At most, it can be regarded as adding two unique monks of the Space and Ming Stage, and that's it.
Li Xiaoyang noticed the disdain hidden in Xi Yao's expression, and was slightly shuddered. This person actually looked down upon Suan Ni and Horned Dragon. It seemed to be more extraordinary than the rumors.
Xi Yao had bright eyes and a bright mind. He saw Li Xiaoyang's intention to show off his force at a glance, and said calmly: "The actions of the two of you are ignorant of destiny and current affairs. Gather a group of rabble, don't try to stop the arrival of the saints' heavenly army. At this time, it is better to wait for the wind and surrender. , come and surrender with your hands tied, if you obediently cede half of the country, then the common people will be safe, and you will not be at risk of perdition."
Xuanyuan Yi said displeasedly: "The gods have become easier, destiny has returned, and the past has finally become the past. Now that the gods have returned to the orthodoxy, and the world is united, the ancestors have the honor to continue to this day. It is better for you to put away the unknown soldiers and return to Home, lest you die as a stranger in a foreign land.”
Right and wrong are matters of public opinion. Li Xiaoyang did not want to make rash comments, lest they would be unhappy, so he tried to persuade them: "We pride ourselves on being able to see through the world of mortals, indulge ourselves in the mountains and rivers, and pursue the path to immortality. Unexpectedly, we put the cart before the horse and rashly start an army to cause chaos." , It is truly a misfortune for the common people. It is better to withdraw from the army and devote oneself to cultivation to become transcendent, which is a good thing."
Seeing that Xi Yao was not interested in what he said, he waved his hand and said calmly: "Xi's proposal is allowed to be considered by the two of you until sunrise. If there is no reply, you can send your army to fight to the death."
After saying that, he drove the green dragon back to the camp. Xuanyuan Yi was about to refuse immediately, but saw Li Xiaoyang slightly shaking his head, turning around and returning with a sigh.

The sun was shining brightly, and the rising sun had the illusion of gently swaying against the backdrop of the waves. Bundles of golden threads were projected freely, filling the void instantly.
There was always no movement in Zixia City. Soon, the war drums in the demon cultivator camp thundered and creaked loudly.
More than a hundred flying boats moved together, trebuchets were operating, and thousands of spiked iron balls were thrown outwards carrying armor-breaking talismans.
The iron thorn ball dragged the black light and came with the sound of popping wind, which was far more majestic than before.
The shadows of soldiers swarming under the camp gate were like a mountain torrent, with countless puppet beasts pouring out.
The rhinoceros-shaped puppet charges forward with its steel body, the giant elephant puppet is the secondary forward with its strength, the leopard-shaped puppet is the center with its agile body, and the human-shaped puppet wears armor as the rearguard.
Tens of thousands of puppet beasts walked on the clear waves, like moving ants, marching forward with their heads held high. The black army of puppets filled the entire sea surface.
The iron spiked balls were thrown high into the sky and swooped down with a fierce falling force. They were densely packed, like black hail hitting the city wall and the defensive light curtain, and the rumbling sound of impact resounded through the sky.
The city wall of Zixia Mountain has been recast, and its surface is bright and hard. The divine power exerted by the monks in the Kongming Period has given it an indestructible body. The overwhelming bombardment of the iron spiny balls did not cause too serious damage.
The army of puppets is approaching quickly. The iron hooves of the rhinoceros-horned puppets are about to step onto the beach. They lower their heads and raise their sharply polished horns in preparation for charging into battle.
The high wall was towering, and there was a response from Zixia City. Arrow holes were opened one after another on the wall, the sound of machine traction was continuous, and more than a thousand serial machine iron crossbows were launched at the same time.
The glow was flowing outside the city wall, and crossbow arrows several feet long, wrapped in strong talismans, swished wildly, and were all fired towards the puppet army.
The puppets had no room to escape, and the crossbow arrows passed through their bodies, and several or dozens of them were shot one after another near the coast.
The crossbows fired arrows continuously without stopping. Suddenly, the sound of drums in the city was heard. More than ten thousand monks drew their bows and drew the strings at the same time. The sound of the arrows leaving the strings was just like a bang.
The roar of the tide is like lightning, the rain of arrows is like a plague of locusts descending from the sky, densely falling in the sky, and thousands of clusters of glow cover the sky and block the sun.
The puppet beast army became a target, arrows were scattered, and many puppets were dismembered. Thunder and lightning erupted across the sea for dozens of miles, completely covered in frost and fire. The scene was like the Red Lotus Hell.
Arrows flew into the air, and the puppet beasts fell down one after another.
The rhinoceros horns and giant elephant puppets may have smoke coming from their heads, or their buttocks may be on fire, but they drag their bodies forward to hide at the foot of the city wall. They raise their sharp horns and giant teeth and slam into the iron antlers.
The other surviving puppets were not afraid of death and continued to charge forward furiously.
The iron thorn balls were launched even faster, and Xi Yao ordered to replace the armor-breaking talisman with the explosive talisman. The overwhelming city-breaking balls exploded at the first touch, and the banging sound shook the whole city.
After the first round of strong attacks, the human monks' offensive gradually became scattered. The group of cultivators used the Hongmeng Breaking Formation as protection and selected targets to attack and kill at will. Although their prestige was reduced, their effectiveness in killing enemies became more obvious.
The puppet beast army suffered many casualties, and corpses were overturned in batches in the sea, almost filling the surface of the sea with flat land.
The war was in full swing, and suddenly the waves surged, and more than a hundred spinner turtles appeared from the bottom of the water.
The tortoise body is as big as a house, with an eagle's head and a snake's tail. The tortoise's shell is black and red, and is stronger than fine steel.
Xi Run stood outside the gate of the camp, the Dharma flag fluttering, and the puppet army moved according to the order, scurrying under the belly of the spinning turtle and hiding behind it, following the giant turtle slowly advancing towards Zixia City.
The arrows in the sky are like rain, but there is no way to find the tortoise shell.
Mingxiao took charge of the defense and hurriedly ordered the serial iron crossbow to change the target, gathered strength to kill the spinning turtle as soon as possible, and then called some of the infant transforming monks who were waiting to fight close to the inner edge of the wall to help.
The group of cultivators gathered their firepower, only to hear the harsh creaking of machines and the banging sound of bow strings. In an instant, different rays of light rushed around, and the rays of light surged.
The continuous stream of powerful crossbow arrows are like dragons swimming around and snakes moving around, entangled in the frosty wind and colorful mist, converging into more than a hundred torrents and shooting at the whirling turtle.
The turtle shrank back, relying on its armor to brave the torrential rain of arrows, and the wind knife blowing on the ground, and slowly moved forward despite the thunder and thunder.
The flow of arrows was noisy, and the morning wind was torn apart, as if the hooks, claws and saw teeth of the devil were wreaking havoc.
In a moment, nearly half of the turtle was killed, and a strange howling sound resounded from its throat, like a house with broken beams. It collapsed one after another, with several strings of bubbles popping up, and it sank forever to the bottom of the sea.
The waves of arrows continued, and the puppet beasts that lacked the protection of the spin turtle were once again exposed to the arrow rain, and were destroyed by the surging power of frost, fire, wind and thunder, and countless people died.
Ming Xiao saw that the Tortoise Formation was about to be broken, and took a breath.
Unexpectedly, after this moment of delay, the humanoid puppet relied on its armor to defend itself and hurriedly crossed the sea.
In terms of the dexterity and agility of this puppet, it seems to be slightly better than the Leopard Puppet. Its commander drove straight in, like a wave crashing into the tide. At the same time, he raised his arms to support the turtle that was covered with bruises, and rushed in with fire and smoke.
Arrows rained down wildly, but few people were affected. In the blink of an eye, the remnants of the puppet army crossed the sea and landed, neatly discarded the turtle carcass, passed through the antlers with a roar, and rushed directly to the base of the city wall.
Ming Xiao was horrified when he saw this, but there was a blind spot under the wall where arrows rained down, and it was too late to stop him.
At this moment, the wall has been riddled with holes by the Iron Thorn Ball and the Rhinoceros Horn Puppet. The humanoid puppet is jumping up and down, racing against time to place explosive symbols in the gaps in the wall. It is busy for a while, and then turns over and retreats.
Time seemed to have stopped, and the demon cultivators watching the battle couldn't help but silently count to three!
Boom!
The city wall detonated one after another from the middle to both sides, scarlet flowers bloomed one after another, violent waves of air suddenly burst out, blazing fire burned, and black smoke covered the sky and the earth.
The broken fire overflowed and the rocks were spread out, just like a luxurious fireworks event. The scene was beautiful but fleeting.
Within a few breaths, the curtain came to a glorious end, and many puppet beasts were blown to pieces by the blast of air.
On the city wall, gravel fell down, and pieces of the wall collapsed one after another, completely exposing the light curtain that protected the city.
The city wall was broken, and the morale of the demon cultivators became even higher.
