A Demon's Path

C463

Upon hearing Ling Xiao's strange and illogical firing, Long Yuxuan immediately understood Ling Xiao's intentions. Her face revealed a knowing smile.

Other than feeling that it was strange, the others temporarily did not think of anything special. Ling Xiao did not explain and just sat there, waiting to see the results.

Boom! Boom! Two powerful explosions rang out. The ground of Xihe City shook and two purple energy crystal cannons shot out.

"He's coming." Several hundred Violet Rank experts, upon seeing the two energy crystal cannons, gathered their energy and waited for them to get close to them. Then, they could destroy them in one go.

Soon enough, two energy crystal cannons were aimed at the group of people from the Heaven Gate. The purple ranked experts in the sky all gave a cold snort in disapproval. "What child's play!"

The crowd of Violet Rank experts scoffed at Ling Xiao's unskilled two cannons as they released their soul powers.

Whoosh... whoosh... Immediately, hundreds of purple colored strands of soul power split into two and shot toward the two incoming cannons.

Each strike of a Violet Rank powerhouse was enough to cause a large city without any defensive arrays to be razed to the ground in an instant. With so many attacks striking the two energy crystal cannons, the result could be imagined.

BOOM!

Two balls of brilliant purple fireworks blossomed in midair. They were extremely bright, and the dazzling brilliance made anyone who saw them unable to resist putting their arms above their heads to cover their eyes.

"It's nothing more than that." The purple-level experts had destroyed two energy crystal cannonballs with their first strike, so they were even more unimpressed with Ling Xiao's attack.

In that split-second of an attack, they suddenly felt a powerful soul power fluctuation fly towards them. Everyone immediately felt their hearts tense up. They gathered their soul power and sent it towards the source of this powerful soul power fluctuation.

"Damn it, there's actually a third shot." By the time they could see that the source of the soul power undulations was another shell, it was only a few thousand meters away from them.

Boom! All of the Violet Rank experts simultaneously slammed their soul power into the third cannon. The third cannon shattered, but as it did, a layer of purplish black poisonous gas burst forth from the shell and continued to charge at them.

"This cannon is poisonous. Everyone, be careful." With a loud roar, Li Tianxing was the first to leave the area.

The other Violet Rank experts also retreated, not wanting to be touched by the terrifying purplish black poison.

If the crowd did not dodge at this time, then they would be idiots. The moment the black gas appeared, it was obvious that as long as they got some, even if they didn't die, they would at least shed a layer of skin.

Without the protection of a Violet Rank powerhouse in the sky, the people of the Nether Sky Sect, who were breaking through the formation behind them, were exposed to Zou Tie Zhu's cannon.

Moreover, Zou Tie Zhu's shot was very accurate, the Purple Level powerhouses had just retreated, but his shot had already reached them.

The group of people from the Nether Sky Sect who were trying to break the formation instantly felt a sense of danger approaching. Their expressions all changed as Ouyang Ran roared, "Not good, retreat quickly!"

Unfortunately, Ouyang Ran's shout was a bit too late. A crystal energy cannon appeared in his eyes, magnified limitlessly, and with a rumbling sound, it smashed into the ground beside him.

"Ah!" Blood-curdling screams rang out in Ouyang Ran's ears as purple and red rays of light filled his eyes. Countless drops of blood blurred his vision.

Ouyang Ran's armor automatically glowed with a violet light, blocking the most deadly strike for him.

His body was like a piece of trash paper fluttering in the wind, falling to the ground.

Bang! Ouyang Ran's body smashed onto the ground. With a pu sound, the power of the cannon's blast caused Ouyang Ran to spit out a mouthful of blood before his head tilted to the side as he fainted.

Everything happened in just a few seconds. Ling Xiao did not have any ulterior motives. As the commander of the Allied Army of the God Soul Sect, Li Qing Xuan was unable to keep up with Ling Xiao's rapidly changing train of thought.

He watched as the main force of the Nether Sky Sect was destroyed, leaving only a severely injured and unconscious Ouyang Ran standing there, speechless for a long time.

Li Qingxuan only recovered from his shock after the people around him knew that the cannon had a buffer of energy for a period of time. They stopped their advance and started to loudly discuss with each other.

If it had been anyone else, even if they had been extremely unwilling, they would have had no choice but to withdraw after encountering such a situation. This had greatly disrupted their original plan for the day.

However, Li Qingxuan's mind was already muddled from Ling Xiao's provocation. He shouted angrily, "All soul masters, listen to me! There's no need to break through the formation. Use your own soul power to break through this damned purple light curtain!"

"You're crazy." Even Li Tian Xun couldn't help but to protest and shout loudly: "Li Qing Xuan, if we continue walking like this, when we reach Xi He City, we won't have any strength to fight anymore."

At this moment, other than Li Tianxuan's elder Li Tianxuan, no one would dare to provoke Li Qingxuan at a time like this.

Respecting one's elders was one of the virtues of the Divine Soul Sect. No matter how arrogant Li Qingxuan was, she didn't dare to humiliate Li Tianchu in public. She suppressed the anger in her heart and said to Li Tianchu, "One day, I will issue the Divine Demon Token, and ask the Sect Master of the Netherworld Sect, Ouyang Wudao, to personally come."

When everyone heard this, they completely understood. It seemed that Li Qing Xuan and Yue Xia Nan would not rest until they had killed Ling Xiao.

At what time was it? The Divine Soul Sect had suffered an entire long line of enemies, but they still had the mood to provoke Ling Xiao.

This time, it was clear to everyone that Ling Xiao had returned to Xihe City in an extremely low-key manner. It was Li Qingxuan who had provoked her, not Ling Xiao who had provoked Li Qingxuan.

Abandoning the safety of all the Divine Soul Sect members, this was what Li Qingxuan and Yue Xiannan had done for the sake of their personal grudges.

In their hearts, they were completely disappointed with Li Qingxuan and the God Soul Tower. They only hoped that they could retreat to Xihe City as soon as possible, so that they could return to their respective sects to defend.

However, it seemed that this wish of his was not easy to realize.

Under Li Qing Xuan's pressure, the Soul Masters had no choice but to convert all of their strength into Heaven's Charm. Regardless of whether they were adept at Heaven's Stomp or not, they had to use up all of their soul power to break the formation.

Xihe City used the energy of crystals, and these soul masters used their own soul power. If they were to compare the two, it would be obvious who would suffer a loss.

However, it had to be said that when almost four hundred thousand people used the Heaven's Dashing Soul at the same time, it was an extremely spectacular scene. Furthermore, the effect was quite good.

In just five minutes, the Spirit Master Sect had broken through a layer of purple light and moved five thousand meters forward.

The purple light curtains were set up at a rate of five thousand meters per layer. Including the layer that the disciples of the Nether Sky Sect had broken through, there were two layers today. They moved forward by ten thousand meters.

Li Qingxuan's heart finally relaxed a little. The distance to West River City was only 90,000 meters.

Soon after, Li Qingxuan ordered everyone to rest on the spot and wait for them to recover their soul power before breaking through the formation. As long as they could break through two more layers of light and advance to 80,000 meters, then Li Qingxuan would have achieved his goal for today.

What made Li Qingxuan extremely curious was why Ling Xiao's four war chariots did not continue firing energy crystal cannons to harass them after half an hour had passed.

At this time, Li Qingxuan suddenly received a message from the Earth Treasury Sect's Wang Wenzhan, "Brother Li, our Earth Treasury's been attacked by the energy crystal cannon and suffered heavy losses. We only have fifty thousand Godly Soul Masters remaining."

Only then did Li Qingxuan realize that Ling Xiao had transferred all four chariots to the east and had focused all his firepower on killing them.

Originally, the one to the east was Nangong Yu's Earth Sect. Because he was unhappy with Nangong Yu, Li Qingxuan made Nangong Yu's Earth Sect disciples become cannon fodder and had Wang Wenzhan go to the east to stall him.

However, he did not expect that not a single one of Nangong Yuzhi's men had died, while more than half of Wang Wen Zhan's men had died.

"Damn it, Ling Xiao, I must capture you and tear you into a thousand pieces so that your soul will be forever tormented by pain and never be reborn." Li Qingxuan shouted crazily in his heart, while a numb expression appeared on his face, "Tell the east and south not to attack, return here first and focus their forces."

Six hundred thousand soul masters, ah, in just a little more than a day, there were only about five hundred and forty thousand left. At this rate, if they kept going at this pace, they would only need nine more days to finish off the six hundred thousand soldiers.

However, what could Li Qingxuan do?

Ling Xiao was holed up in the city, waiting for the opportunity to strike. Other than having the advantage in numbers, she was in an extremely passive situation.

However, even so, Li Qingxuan still hoped that he could continue leading these people into Xihe City and kill Ling Xiao. To give up so easily, it was definitely not due to his character.

In any case, the one who died wasn't his person. Other than feeling conflicted and depressed, Li Qingxuan didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache.

When the troops from the south and east had all retreated to the main battlefield, Ling Xiao, who was on top of the main battlefield in Xihe City, said to everyone with a smile, "Everyone, you can have a good rest. Today's battle is over."

At this moment, no one doubted Ling Xiao's command plan anymore. Just by meeting Ling Xiao's command chariot today, they could tell that her commander was no match for her.

Of the four cannons that Ling Xiao had fired at the enemy, the first two were used to confuse the enemy. Following that, the third cannon successfully drove back hundreds of Purple Rank powerhouses with its poison cannons and finally killed hundreds of Blue Rank and above divine soul masters of the Netherworld Sect.

Just from the timing of the firing, it could be seen that Ling Xiao's calculations were extremely accurate. Not to mention that the other party had failed to clearly see Ling Xiao's intentions, even if he had temporarily seen Ling Xiao's intentions clearly, he would not be able to come up with a corresponding countermeasure.

The people of Xi He City were all sighing. With such a meticulous and effective command, how many people in the entire continent could compare to Ling Xiao?

Of course, there were still eight and a half days left in the battle, and it was unknown who would win. However, all of the people of Xihe City only had one thought in their minds: with Ling Xiao here, they would definitely win.
