Volume 10: Fuyao Chapter 142 The Greatest Weapon of the Human Race
This is an extremely crazy idea. Not to mention the cultivators in the fusion stage, even the cultivators in the tribulation stage should not be able to do it.
Because if we want to wipe out the Light Demon-occupied area in a short period of time, there are two major problems that need to be overcome.
1: Attacking a city is never an easy task.
The city is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The demons occupying the city, with the advantage of geographical location, will definitely not be an easy bone to chew.
Not to mention one person, even for a well-equipped team of monks, it would be extremely difficult to take down a demon city in a short period of time.
In addition, if the city cannot be broken in the short term, the demon cultivators from other cities in the demon-occupied area will come to support. At that time, it will be difficult to escape, let alone break the city.
But Lu Qingshan is different.
Because he is a lone swordsman.
First of all, if there is only one person attacking the city, the demon cultivators will take the initiative to attack when they find Lu Qingshan, instead of passively defending the city - there is no city in the world where demon cultivators, including quite a few at the seventh and eighth ranks, would choose to retreat into the city when facing a combined cultivator.
This caused the demons to voluntarily give up their geographical advantage.
Secondly, Lu Qingshan is a sword cultivator, and a sword cultivator with unique attack power and explosive power, and he also masters group attack skills.
Therefore, his speed in killing demons is also unique.
No one else can compare to him, not even the magician who is best at group attacks.
This allowed him to capture the city in the shortest possible time.
Two: Not enough time.
The Demon-occupied area is vast, and it takes a lot of time to travel from one city to another, not to mention slaughtering all the demon cities in the area.
In addition, siege is an extremely energy-consuming and time-consuming task.
Normally speaking, after conquering a city, the monks would need a certain amount of time to recuperate and recover.
Siege + journey + preparation for war, adding the three together, with only one person and unable to divide the troops into several groups and advance simultaneously, it seems that it will take at least half a year to recapture Mangzhou.
But for Lu Qingshan, these are not a big deal.
First, as a sword cultivator, the speed of his escape technique is the fastest among all the cultivation schools of the human race, not to mention that he is also a leader among sword cultivators.
Second, Lu Qingshan practiced all the way to the fusion realm, and the skills he used in each stage were Dao-level.
For Taoist-level skills, a 100% increase in mana recovery speed is one of the essential attributes.
In addition, the talent [Silver Candle Clear Melody] of the Great Summer Sutra (Combination Chapter) has increased the mana recovery speed by 100% on this basis.
With this combination, Lu Qingshan's mana recovery speed has reached a level that is unimaginable to others. It is completely sufficient to support him in continuous fighting - in layman's terms, it is like having a blue buff on his body all the time.
Last but not least, Lu Qingshan’s siege speed was extremely fast, and the consumption was far less than expected.
Because with his current strength, Lu Qingshan can kill most seventh-grade demon cultivators instantly with just the simplest strike of his flying sword.
This is the result of many bonuses, including the power of Taoist weapons, innate attributes, and the increasing special effects of the secret sword, which cannot be replicated by others.
The consumption of the flying sword is actually almost nothing for a sword cultivator, it is more like a normal attack.
This is also one of the charms unique to the profession of sword cultivator, and it is a scene that is difficult for cultivators from other schools to imagine - as long as you achieve great success, you can kill one "little kid" with one sword.
Therefore, the two major problems that restrict other human cultivators no longer exist in Lu Qingshan's eyes.
In fact, there are sword cultivators who have thought about this.
But if they were asked to take huge risks and march alone into the demon-occupied area to massacre the city, no one would do that.
Because in order to accomplish this, even a sword cultivator in the Third Tribulation Realm is not enough.
After all, weak bodies, insufficient defensive means, and insufficient group attack capabilities are all real weaknesses for sword cultivators.
This makes it absolutely impossible for ordinary sword practitioners to face enemies that are hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than themselves.
But Lu Qingshan has the Sword Domain, the Sword World, the Dust-free Fighting Room, the Abbot Tianxin, the Secret Sword Dong Xueying, and the Secret Sword Qiu Shuangning, so these weaknesses are either covered up or simply do not exist.
If Lu Qingshan did not have these abilities, he would also think twice before doing so.
Because it is too much of a stretch and too dangerous.
And when all the conditions are met, if Lu Qingshan doesn't do this, he will feel that he is not worthy of being a sword cultivator.
…
Although he was in a dangerous demon-occupied area, Lu Qingshan had a feeling that the sea was wide enough for fish to leap and the sky was high enough for birds to fly.
Without the demon-occupied area of the ninth-grade demon cultivator, there would be no one who could punish him.
He was like a wolf that had strayed into the sheepfold, completely lawless and unscrupulous.
After easily solving the most difficult Mangcheng, he only rested for an hour, and then began to radiate in a circular manner with Mangcheng as the center to other cities in Mangzhou.
In just one day, Lu Qingshan destroyed Liuyun Mansion where Mangcheng was located and the twenty-seven cities around Mangcheng.
All the demon cultivators in the city were also slaughtered without leaving a single one.
Blood flowed throughout the prefecture.
Then, Lu Qingshan turned into a sword light again and rushed towards Gaoyun Mansion, which was adjacent to Liuyun Mansion.
There were bursts of sonic booms along the way, which was extremely ostentatious.
…
In the tail current of the spiritual sea tide.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The raging spiritual energy and the elusive space cracks hindered the passage of spiritual consciousness.
But if you look at the overall situation from a God's perspective at this moment, you will find that the huge spiritual sea tide zone is like a chessboard divided by vertical and horizontal lines.
In the densely packed chess squares, there are as few as two or three and as many as seven or eight "chess pieces" fighting fiercely.
One of the "chess squares".
The ground was exploded with uneven holes of various sizes, and corpses were lying everywhere, including those of both demons and human monks.
The blood seeped into the soil, staining it black.
In the sky, there are twisted and gorgeous streams of spiritual energy, like the aurora at night.
Around the flow of spiritual energy, there were several scattered human cultivators standing.
The Taoist robes they wore were no longer bright, and were stained with blood.
Their faces were covered with scars.
They had just fought a hard-fought battle and won a hard-fought victory.
Under normal circumstances, after experiencing such a battle, these human monks should choose a safe place to heal their wounds and recover.
But at this time, the human monks did not do so.
Because their minds flashed back to what Gu Qiu had told them before the army was broken up into smaller units:
If we can delay the demons for a moment longer, the human race will have a better chance of winning this battle.
The middle-level spiritual practitioners did not know why there was an extra trace.
But they believed in Gu Qiu.
When the empire was about to collapse, the Sword Sect was willing to mobilize half of the sect's strength to march westward. This move had already won the respect and recognition of all the middle-level spiritual practitioners.
So, these human monks set out again and dispersed in all directions under the cover of the spiritual energy.
They will continue to fight.
What if I have no strength left?
They already had the answer in their hearts:
Then burn your life.
After the Battle of Longcheng Pass, all the truly powerful men in Zhongling had died, and the rest were just "rotten fish and shrimp".
Although the arrival of the reinforcements slightly strengthened the power of the middle-level human race, the number of reinforcements was still too small compared to that of the demon race.
Zhongling no longer has the Xiongguan Dragon City, and the number and combat power of the cultivators cannot be compared with those of the demons.
Looking only at the strength on paper, the disadvantage is extremely obvious.
But humans are determined to defend their homes and land at all costs.
This is the greatest weapon of the human race.
It is also the biggest reason if they can defeat the strong with the weak and drive the demons out of Zhongling.
