Chapter 303: Chapter 59: Killing (Third Update)
Li Tian Gang roared furiously, his chest aglow with divine light, as he swapped his eyes for the inner eye and his consciousness for his moral heart.
Guided by the mysterious Dao, his moral heart, which condensed the laws of all things, quickly found the way for him.
Boom!
His divine blade struck, instantly tearing open a passage and revealing the Array; then, moving quickly, he attacked with his body, exchanging the air outside the Array, and disappeared in a blink, appearing inside the Array.
He had the Array’s command token, which allowed him to step directly into it.
In a flash, he slipped into the Array.
“Stop right there!!”
The young Demon King, who arrived in haste, unleashed a sword strike but slashed at nothing, as Li Tian Gang had already stepped through just before him.
His sword light struck the Array, stirring up a massive surge of divine runes.
Meanwhile, inside the Array, tens of thousands of Yuan Camp soldiers bore the brunt of the sword’s force, their expressions changing slightly as their blood and qi roiled.
“Marshal!”
Yu Xuan rushed over swiftly, seeing the terrible aura emanating from Li Tian Gang’s body; he had long known that Li Tian Gang had entered the Four Stands Realm; he wasn’t surprised but urgently said:
“Large swarms of Demons are attacking the edge of our defenses, led by Demon Kings, striking everywhere, the Array can’t hold much longer!”
“How many?”
Li Tian Gang’s expression shifted slightly, and, while speaking, he struggled to adjust his state, focusing on regaining his strength as much as possible.
He knew a fierce battle was about to unfold.
He must seize every chance to rest and recover.
“Three!”
Yu Xuan replied quickly, “One is from the Dragon Gate, another from the Holy Palace, and one from the Great Void Realm; with the two here…”
He looked outside the Array.
The dazzling golden Array shone brightly, separated by a thin membrane-like layer outside the Array, where the elderly man from the Great Void Realm and the young Demon King were both furiously assaulting the Array, causing ripples to spread.
Besides, their previous calls for reinforcements had summoned two more Demon Kings clad in black robes, who were now making no effort to hide, tearing off their robes.
Revealing armor that glimmered with golden light, its surface etched with rough patterns, clearly a treasure crafted by Demons.
In comparison with the armor of the Human Race, it did not appear as exquisite or intricate.
“Li Tian Gang, come out!”
“Hiding in there, do you think you can escape?!”
“Once I break through this Array, you’ll be the first I slay!”
The Demon Kings, while angrily attacking the Array, bellowed loud curses at Li Tian Gang.
Having killed Feng Shan Jun right before them, though unconcerned for Feng Shan Jun’s fate, their own dignity had been insulted.
Li Tian Gang’s expression was grim, somewhat unsightly; he had anticipated a catastrophe in Liangzhou, but had not expected Dragon Gate to send so many Demon Kings, and for the Great Void Realm to join in as well. The number of Demon Kings had somewhat exceeded his expectations.
These fellows weren’t planning to wear Liangzhou down slowly like they did with Northern Yan; they intended to launch a quick assault!
“Quick, form the Army Formation, and defend the Array with all your might!”
“Activate the Array’s Demon Spirits!”
Li Tian Gang swiftly gave his orders.
Command after command, alongside the beacon fires, spread throughout the entire defensive line.
On the inside of the Black Stone Great Wall’s defensive line, countless arrows flew into the swarm of Demons, myriad demon-slaying talismans and boulders followed from catapults, crossing the Array, hurtling into the swarm and inflicting numerous Demons casualties.
However, these Demons were like locusts and ants, thick and innumerable, with no end in sight.
The holes just cleared were instantly refilled.
The earth was covered in darkness, and the sky swarmed with locust-like flight, covering everything like a vast, demonic qi formed a black cloud hanging over this border defense in the sky.
Here, the daylight was obscured, leaving only a dim afterglow, along with the deafening, thunderous roars and screams of the Demons outside the Array.
The shrill shrieks were jittering, even the battle-hardened veterans felt their hearts pound with fear.
Were it not for the protection of the Army Formation and the bolstering of morale, many would have been scared stiff by this spectacular Demon display.
The grand army, entrenched in this defense, was now fully mobilized, taking position on the walls, rapidly rotating, as archers fired volley after volley, their longbows near the point of smoking from overuse.
Amidst the sounds of the beacon orders, the Array was activated, and soldiers from the Yuan Camp, clad in heavy armor, dispersed, covering the entire defensive line.
The numbers of Yuan Camp soldiers were vast, originally disguised in different armors, blending in, the Tianji Palace detected only fifty thousand of them gathering, but in actuality, Li Tian Gang had secretly assembled two hundred thousand!
Now, these hidden Yuan Camp soldiers had donned the strongest military armor of the Li Family, with the expense for a full set of armor being exceedingly great.
An army of two hundred thousand Yuan Camp soldiers was enough to sweep through the Three Immortal Realms with ease, unstoppable.
The Li Family’s Yuan Camp had a total of one million in its ranks!
After battling in Northern Yan for over a decade with countless casualties, only just over seven hundred thousand remained.
Currently, Li Tian Gang had called up two hundred thousand, which was considered full preparation.
The remaining five hundred thousand were stationed: three hundred thousand in Northern Yan and two hundred thousand in Qingzhou year-round.
