Volume 8: Demon Suppression Chapter 33: In the Underworld but Heart in Summer
Qingge's unbridled smile finally came to an abrupt end.
No matter how slow he was, he noticed the disappearance of the sea of blood at this moment, and his crazy expression began to change.
However, the reaction of the combined monk was much faster than his.
Although Marquis Anhai did not yet understand what was happening with this strange change, it was obvious that the sea of blood that had left him helpless had disappeared.
The sea of blood is gone, and the sea of peace is born.
Without any hesitation, Marquis Anhai quickly released his Anhai Dao domain.
The spiritual light was so bright that it instantly enveloped Qing Ge.
Qing Ge is just a primary demon general and has not cultivated a divine and demonic body.
A demon cultivator without a divine or demonic body can only be bullied by a cultivator in the realm of fusion!
In the Dao Realm, An Hai is the king.
As soon as he had a thought, Qing Ge, who was covered by his Anhai Dao domain, had no room to struggle, and his body moved uncontrollably towards Anhai Hou.
The speed was so fast that its body became blurred.
When he came to his senses again, Qingge was already hanging in the air by the neck of Marquis Anhai like a chicken, unable to move. Only his lips were trembling, and it was unclear whether he was out of fear or anger.
…
One sword breaks all laws.
Even the raging sea of blood that could only be broken by a cultivator in the eighth realm could only be defeated in the face of Longque's method of breaking.
"In the end, I still have to rely on you, Yitian." After swinging the sword that breaks the law, Lu Qingshan quickly put away the dragon bird and praised in his heart.
Although both are Taoist weapons, at least so far, in terms of practicality, Wangchuan and Longque are not in the same league at all.
So, although both are his natal swords, how could he not prefer Dragon Bird?
"I'm glad I could help you, sir." Qin Yitian said gracefully, her voice clear and pleasant.
call out!
After cutting through the sea of blood with one sword and causing such a big commotion, Lu Qingshan did not dare to stay on the warship any longer. He quickly stood up, left the blood-stained warship, and flew towards Marquis Anhai.
This means asking for protection.
In this battlefield filled with sixth-grade and seventh-grade demons, if any demon reacted and killed him out of anger, he would have no way to complain.
Marquis Anhai saw Lu Qingshan flying towards him, glanced at him, and instantly understood what Lu Qingshan meant.
However, when he saw the demonic energy surging from Lu Qingshan without any concealment, the corner of his eyes twitched unconsciously.
Is this a dog-eat-dog situation?
This world is crazy. The mouse is the bridesmaid for the cat.
But no matter what, there is no doubt that Lu Qingshan broke the deadlock with one sword.
Therefore, even though he still had many doubts about Lu Qingshan's identity, Marquis Anhai was still very cooperative and calm, using the Dao Domain to cover Lu Qingshan and protect his safety.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Just at this time, the seventh-grade demon cultivators, who had just temporarily retreated because of the self-explosion of the seventh-grade sword cultivator of the human race, finally rushed to the side of the warship with red eyes.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
There are many dark shadows in the sky.
The demonic energy on these seventh-grade demon cultivators was boiling like a rolling black ocean, trapping Marquis An Hai and Tang Ze inside.
Faced with this horrifying scene, Marquis Anhai remained motionless, with even a hint of a smile on his face.
He already has a plan in mind.
Originally, he was not sure whether Qing Ge's identity was enough to force the demons to withdraw.
But just as Qingge was speaking in complacency, he received an extremely important piece of news - this blood-stained warship that was capable of withstanding all attacks from the Seventh Realm cultivators came from Qingge's father.
That means Qing Ge’s father is at least an eighth-rank demon cultivator.
Qingge's appearance also reveals his bloodline - the soldier demon.
The status of the eighth-grade soldier demon in the abyss is well known to both humans and demons.
Qing Ge, as the heir that the eighth-grade soldier demon values very much, it is absolutely no problem for him to threaten these demons to retreat by using his life.
The fact that these seventh-grade demon cultivators had clearly surrounded them but did not dare to act rashly was enough to prove this point.
"What do you want?" A demon cultivator with countless holes on his body, who seemed to be the highest-ranking person on the demon army side except for the Demon General Qingge, stood up, stared at Marquis Anhai with his triangular eyes, gritted his teeth, and suddenly spoke.
"Hmph!" Upon seeing this situation, Marquis Anhai just snorted coldly.
Without seeing him make any movement, a cold light appeared out of nowhere and flashed past Qingge's right arm.
"Ah!" The next moment, Qing Ge let out a dull and shrill scream.
His right arm, which was covered with dark golden lines, had been cut off along with his silver-grey armor.
From the wound of the broken arm, dark black blood mixed with a hint of dark gold flowed out, and the bloody smell was overwhelming.
When Lu Qingshan saw this, his eyes flashed. It was unknown what he thought of, but he actually picked up the broken arm of the Qingge Demon General that fell from the air.
This made Marquis Anhai look sideways slightly, but he didn't say much.
"Stop!" When the demon cultivators saw this situation, their expressions changed drastically and they looked horrified.
They knew very well that if they let Qingge die here, they would suffer the wrath of the Demon Lord Xuan Blade.
"Tell your people to stop immediately." Marquis Anhai also stopped his actions at the right time, looking at the demon army that was still attacking Luoyan Pass in the distance, and said in a cold voice.
"Hurry, make them stop!" Although Qing Ge, who was held by the neck by Marquis An Hai, could not move, he could still speak. He shouted miserably to the demon cultivators.
He knew that doing so would make him lose all face, and he also understood that the human race would most likely not kill him outright. After all, if he was alive, he was worth a fortune, but if he was dead, he would just be a corpse.
But he still spoke up spinelessly.
Because he didn't dare to take the risk. If he lost his life, he would lose everything.
He was obviously doted on by his father and had a bright future. How could he accept the fact that he died in his first battle after his debut?
The eyelids of the triangular-eyed demon cultivator twitched unconsciously. He felt a hint of hidden dissatisfaction in his heart towards Qingge's cowardice and arrogance, and there was a flash of unwillingness in his eyes.
But under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he did not dare to take any action beyond the limit. He had no choice but to let out a long roar.
Woo woo!
A loud and distorted humming sound suddenly echoed between .
It seemed to contain some special meaning. Its appearance caused the demon army, which was surging , to stop their actions at this moment.
Luoyan Pass, which was ravaged by war and filled with magic, finally returned to peace.
The monks guarding the gate in the sky were extremely excited when they saw this, and some even shouted to the sky.
Even the few masters in the center of the giant pit who were trying hard to hold up their bodies and not fall down could not hide their excitement at this moment.
When Marquis Anhai saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Crunch!
The sound of gnashing teeth suddenly rang out.
Lu Qingshan drooped his eyelids slightly and looked down. It turned out that the Qingge Demon General, who was pinched by the neck by Marquis Anhai, was staring at him with vicious eyes.
Lu Qingshan didn't care and even smiled at Qingge. He shook his broken arm in front of him and then slowly put it into his storage ring.
The Qingge Demon General was so angry that he almost bit his teeth off.
"Make an offer," the triangular-eyed demon cultivator said in a hoarse and harsh voice, "How can you let the demon general go?"
"It's very simple," Marquis Anhai said calmly, "After your demon army retreats, I will let him go in three days."
"No," the triangular-eyed demon cultivator shook his head and said, "How can we guarantee that you will really let our demon general go in three days? What if you just want to trick us into retreating?"
"I can't trust you humans more than you!"
"You can withdraw your troops, but you must also release the Demon General immediately," the triangular-eyed demon cultivator said in a deep voice, "Let him go while you withdraw your troops."
Marquis Anhai just looked at the triangular-eyed demon cultivator with a mocking look, and said sarcastically: "Let him go with one hand, and withdraw the army with the other hand, do you think I'm a fool? If it's according to your words, once I let him go, won't you be able to come back immediately?"
"What's the point of this kind of retreat?"
"Three days. It must be three days before I let him go." Marquis An Hai said firmly.
"no……"
Just as the triangular-eyed demon cultivator was about to object, a scream rang out again.
Qingge's left arm had already fallen at this time.
Marquis Anhai attacked again and cut off the other arm of the Qingge Demon General.
Seeing this situation, the triangular-eyed demon cultivator's eyes shrank, and an undisguised ferocious look flashed in his eyes, like a wild beast.
"If you can't guarantee that you will let the Demon General go afterward," he gritted his teeth, his face grim, and spoke word by word, "even if you threaten us no matter how much, we will not agree."
“If you have the guts, you can really kill the Demon General,” the triangular-eyed demon cultivator said viciously, “If you really dare to do this, yes, we will definitely be severely punished, but before that, we will also drag all the cultivators of Luoyan Pass with us to be buried with you!”
He is not stupid. During negotiations, even if he is at a disadvantage, he cannot just give in, otherwise he will be taken advantage of.
So at the bottom line, the triangular-eyed demon cultivator did not retreat at all, and even began to threaten Marquis Anhai.
Marquis Anhai remained expressionless in the face of the threatening words from the triangular-eyed demon cultivator, but in his heart he already understood the bottom line of the demon clan.
He didn't dare to push too hard. After all, his ultimate goal was just to protect Luoyan Pass, not to do anything to Qingge.
After all, a sixth-grade soldier demon, who is also a fool, can have much value? Even if you kill him, you won't make much money.
After thinking for a while, Marquis Anhai said again: "How about this, all of you demon army retreat, I will take him with you, and I will let him go after three days."
"I'll take him with you, so you won't be worried."
As soon as Marquis Anhai finished speaking, Tang Ze, who had been silent, could not help but speak up, "General, no, if you do this, you will..."
Marquis Anhai's proposal can indeed ensure that Luoyan Pass has enough time to invite reinforcements and prevent the demons from making a comeback.
But the problem is, if he follows what Marquis Anhai said, he will have to face the demon army alone.
It was a dangerous situation where one was almost dead.
"Okay," the Triangle Eyed Demon Cultivator agreed immediately, "I agree."
"General..." Tang Ze said unwillingly.
"Don't say any more, I have made up my mind," Marquis Anhai said firmly, "Tang Ze!"
"Yes!" Tang Ze responded subconsciously.
"I order you to guard Luoyan Pass when I'm away!" Marquis Anhai shouted.
"...Yes, sir!" Tang Ze replied, gritting his teeth.
"That's it." Marquis Anhai smiled, his heart moved, his Yuanli moved, and a thrust emerged out of nowhere, pushing Lu Qingshan to Tang Ze's side.
He glanced at Lu Qingshan meaningfully, and said to Tang Ze: "Take good care of this little guy, he is a great contributor to our Luoyan Pass."
After arranging everything, Marquis Anhai looked around at the various seventh-rank demon cultivators who were staring at him eagerly, and said calmly, "Everyone, you can withdraw now."
The triangular-eyed demon cultivator nodded slowly and let out a long howl again.
Woo woo woo!
In the sky, the rolling black ocean formed by the demon army, amid the distant humming sounds, rolled up huge waves, like the ebbing tide, and quickly retreated amid the roar.
"Let's go, human monks." The triangular-eyed demon monk said coldly.
Marquis Anhai nodded and was about to leave with his Qingge.
"Who are you?" The pale-faced Qingge Demon General, who had lost both arms, suddenly spoke at this moment.
He looked at Lu Qingshan, whose serious injuries made the hatred in his expression even more shocking. "Why did you betray our demon clan?"
"Didn't I tell you that I am Li Feiyu, a cultivator from the underworld?" Lu Qingshan showed Qing Ge a gentle smile. "As for why you want to betray me?"
After a pause, Lu Qingshan said righteously : "It's just that I dare not forget my country, and my heart is with Xia even though I am in the underworld!"
"You... are hateful, hateful!" Demon General Qing Ge was filled with resentment. "Li Feiyu, Li Feiyu, I remember! I remember! I, Qing Ge, swear today that I will kill you with my own hands in the future and repay you tenfold for the humiliation you have inflicted on me today!"
Lu Qingshan chuckled, revealing his white teeth, "I'll wait for you!"
Marquis Anhai did not give Qingge any more chances to say harsh words. He picked him up, turned around and flew towards the direction where the demon army was retreating.
The seventh-rank demon cultivators of the demon clan quickly followed and surrounded Marquis An Hai, fearing that they would let him go.
"Marquis Anhai..." Lu Qingshan stared at the sky, watching the black line formed by the demon army gradually disappear from his sight, and slowly exhaled a breath.
Being trapped in the devil's den, even if An Haihou holds the Qing Ge Demon General hostage, it is definitely not an easy task for him to escape safely...
The general of Luoyan Pass has long put his own safety aside for the sake of Luoyan Pass.
Until all the demon armies had retreated and everything was settled, the cultivators in Luoyan Pass behind Lu Qingshan finally couldn't help but cheer for surviving the calamity.
…
…
Call for help.
After the demons retreated, the first thing Luoyan Pass did was to report the situation to Yumen Pass and ask for help.
After receiving the message from Luoyan Pass, Yumen Pass immediately dispatched a dozen combined-state cultivators and an eighth-level cultivator to guard Luoyan Pass in order to prevent the demons from making a comeback.
It is true that we should not easily deploy Eighth Realm monks in small city gates, but that does not mean they cannot be deployed.
Special circumstances naturally require special treatment.
After asking for help, the next step is to count the losses.
Luoyanguan, who has experienced many battles, is already very familiar with this process.
Since the protective formation at the pass was breached, the demons were forced to retreat, so the casualties among the low-level cultivators at Luoyan Pass were almost zero.
This is good news.
Unfortunately, there are always two sides to every coin.
The fact that there were no casualties among the low-level cultivators was the result of huge sacrifices made by the great cultivators at Luoyan Pass.
There were originally eighteen combined cultivators in Luoyan Pass.
In this battle, one person blew himself up, and in order to protect An Haihou and Tang Ze, they rushed out of the self-explosion range. Including all the physical cultivators, another six combined cultivators died on the spot.
The situation of the remaining nine combined monks was not much better. Although they did not die on the spot, they were all seriously injured. Without decades of recuperation, it would be difficult for them to recover.
In addition, it is unknown whether Marquis Anhai is alive or dead at this time.
In other words, after this battle, among the monks of Luoyan Pass, only Tang Ze was left who could maintain his combat effectiveness.
The loss was indeed heavy.
After the losses have been counted, those who deserve pensions have been given pensions, and those who deserve compensation have been compensated, the next step is to reward people based on their merits.
Human cultivators can risk their lives voluntarily, but if there is no substantial reward, such risking their lives will be like draining the pond to catch fish.
Therefore, the human race has never been stingy in rewarding cultivators who have made great achievements.
This time, facing the aggressive and premeditated demon army, Luoyan Pass could be saved, and there was one person who could not be avoided no matter what.
Although he only swung the sword once from beginning to end.
