Chapter 79
Huangfu Jun could sense the fluctuations of the liquid around him through the spiritual essence!
In that instant, Sang Yuanyuan felt both enlightened and as if he had been struck by lightning.
It was no wonder that Huangfu Jun easily discovered that she was not the real Tea Lady during the assassination in Tiandu. Her nervousness was far beyond that of ordinary people.
It was also no wonder that Huangfu Jun believed her so easily when she said that You Wuming did not rely on the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Essence to break through the realm. It was because that was the truth. Sang Yuanyuan was not nervous at all. Her blood flow rate did not change at all.
In front of Huangfu Jun's special ability, no lie could be hidden.
At this moment, he did not hesitate to expose this unknown secret of his to force Sang Yuanyuan and ask for an explanation. For Huangfu Jun, nothing was more important than the truth of Huangfu Du's death.
Sang Yuanyuan stood still.
She quickly thought of a solution.
There seemed to be no solution. Her nervousness had already exposed everything.
At this moment, the only choice was to kill Huangfu Jun.
However, Huangfu Jun was surrounded by masters and tens of thousands of demon-slaying soldiers. Even with You Wuming's current strength, she was afraid that she only had a fifty percent chance of success.
Moreover, even if she killed Huangfu Jun, it would not shake the core power of the Eastern Province. It would only lead to the crazier revenge of Huangfu Xiong and the Eastern Province Army. A fierce battle was inevitable. Sang Yuanyuan seemed to have smelled the bloody wind blowing in her face.
The bloody wind …
She stared blankly in front of her and suddenly staggered slightly.
Huangfu Jun's face became even more gloomy. Under his thin lips, his sharp teeth protruded unconsciously. "Are you that nervous?
Princess Sang, what are you afraid of? "
Sang Yuanyuan slowly turned around and stared into Huangfu Jun's eyes.
Then, she raised a slightly trembling hand and pointed at the open gate of the Inner Great Wall. Huangfu Jun and his elite soldiers were here, guarding the Inner Great Wall. There was no need to close the gate.
Huangfu Jun frowned slightly and his gaze followed her finger.
In an instant, Huangfu Jun's heart began to beat violently.
Through the gate of the Inner Great Wall, one could see the silhouette of the Outer Great Wall in the distance.
At this moment, the sky above the black section of the Great Wall had already been covered in crimson.
A wriggling red wave submerged the black Outer Great Wall. From afar, it didn't seem to pose any threat. It moved extremely slowly and wasn't very tall.
However, as soon as he thought about it, he would be so shocked that he found it hard to breathe. The Great Wall of Black Iron was three hundred feet tall, and the red wave that appeared above the Great Wall seemed to be even taller than the Great Wall itself. It was as if a bloody mouth was about to swallow the entire Great Wall!
"This is …" Huangfu Jun sucked in a breath of cold air. His cheeks were full of goosebumps, and he was speechless for a moment.
There had never been a 'tidal surge' like this at any time or place.
The Surging Tide, as the name suggested, was a tide of nether demons attacking like a surging wave.
However, what he saw in front of him was no longer a 'tide'. It was an entire standing sea!
Why would the nether demons suddenly become like this … Have they gone mad?!
Sang Yuanyuan quickly rushed back to You Wuming's side.
At this moment, she didn't even know if she should be happy or shocked.
The extremely terrifying nether demon tsunami successfully diverted Huangfu Jun's attention, and also concealed her nervous heartbeat.
Huangfu Jun flicked his sleeves and jumped onto a cloud beast covered in armor. He took the lead and rushed into the city.
Sang Yuanyuan crouched in front of You Wuming and hurriedly took out a jade scroll to contact Sang Bujin.
"How's the situation in Sang Province?" Her hands were ice-cold.
Sang Bujin's voice was slightly tense. "The nether demons are attacking the sky and covering the earth!
Fortunately, there's enough kerosene and fire lines have been spread out. We can still hold on for the time being. "
"Yes," Sang Yuanyuan said. "You must hold on. I will definitely return as soon as possible!"
"There's no hurry!"
Sang Bujin said with a smile. "You won't be of much help even if you return. Little sister, safety first. Father and Big Brother can take care of this!"
Sang Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment. "We must have missed some clues in Ice Mist Valley.
If there's still time, please arrange it for Yun Xuzhou. "
Although other matters didn't seem important compared to this monstrous demonic disaster, if they didn't seize this last chance to resolve the matter in Ice Mist Valley, it might bring about a devastating disaster in the future.
They definitely couldn't leave such a hidden danger behind!
"Alright!
Little sister, don't worry. Even if the sky falls, we'll hold it up! "Sang Bujin shattered the jade scroll.
Sang Yuanyuan held the shattered jade scroll and couldn't help but mutter, "He's not even as tall as me. How can he hold it up for me?"
You Wuming was instantly amused.
Seeing their brother-in-law suffer a setback seemed to be a great pleasure for all male creatures.
Sang Yuanyuan raised her head and saw that You Wuming was still as indifferent as ever. His eyebrows slightly raised, and his good-looking lips pulled into an indifferent arc. His dark eyes stared at her face, as if he didn't care about the demonic waves at all.
"Sang Guo." He pressed a large hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry about me."
He bent down slightly and stared into her eyes. "No situation can stump me. Do you understand?"
Sang Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat.
The You Wuming in front of her seemed to have returned to the past — he was like the incarnation of blood and fire, easily destroying everything in front of him.
However, there was a slight difference compared to the past. His wings protected his weak spots.
She was his weak spot.
Before she could come back to her senses, she heard him laugh impudently. Immediately, he pulled her in front of him, and like a gust of wind, he passed Huangfu Jun and rushed to the front of the battle line!
Between the inner and outer Great Walls, there was a wide buffer zone of several miles.
You Wuming took the lead, and in a short while, they rushed to the foot of the outer city wall.
On the outer city wall, the guards were so shocked that they lost control of their minds. The demonic waves were still some distance away from the outer city wall, but many soldiers had already jumped down from the three-hundred-feet-tall city wall in a panic and fell to their deaths.
Perhaps it was because they were running for their lives, or perhaps it was because they subconsciously felt that dying like this was more satisfying than being drowned by the demonic waves.
To be able to make these soldiers who had fought hundreds of battles and fought against the demonic waves their entire lives, it was enough to show how terrifying the situation was.
The closer they got to the outer city, the more weak and cold Sang Yuanyuan felt.
At this moment, she didn't need to raise her head to see the demonic waves.
In front of this wave, the three-hundred-feet-tall Great Wall of Black Iron was like a small 'dam' built by a child on a beach, powerless and child's play.
For a moment, Sang Yuanyuan didn't know how to describe the feelings in her heart.
She only knew that the surging demonic waves had already piled up to a height of several hundred feet, and the 'wave peak' tilted forward. Countless demonic creatures were pushed to a height of several hundred feet, and then they were swept away by the huge force.
They waved their limbs and long tongues in vain, and like water droplets falling from the top of the waves, they splashed forward and were mercilessly swallowed by the surging waves.
This wave was simply unstoppable.
It would destroy everything that dared to block it as easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
You Wuming protected Sang Yuanyuan with one hand, and used the other hand to summon the black saber. On the edge of the saber, a green-white lightning flame ignited.
"Zuo Pingyi, protect You Prefecture's King with all your strength!" Huangfu Jun's gentle but firm voice came from behind.
Sang Yuanyuan couldn't help but turn around to take a look.
He saw Huangfu Jun leading the charge, following closely behind You Wuming, and charging to the front.
Behind him, the main force led the large group of cavalry stationed below the Inner Great Wall to charge towards the demonic waves. They didn't hesitate, and they didn't retreat.
After he gave the order, the iron army on the left immediately separated from the main force and followed You Wuming.
Sang Yuanyuan's eyes couldn't help but flash slightly.
At this moment, Huangfu Jun's brows were solemn, and his expression was cold. There was no longer any personal grudge or ambition in his eyes.
He took out the monk's rod, and the black light on the rod surged up to seventy feet. He had already used all his strength!
Huangfu Jun had yet to recover from his heavy injuries, and his heart was also affected. This time, he wanted to use all his strength to kill the Nether Demons, and he was already burning his life force.
This was the hero and ambitious person of Cloud Realm's eighteen prefectures.
On the Outer Great Wall, there were soldiers falling down one after another.
The Nether Demons that fell from the sky had already started to fall on the walls and walls of the Outer Great Wall!
One could imagine that if one was on the walls of the Outer Great Wall, there would only be a patch of red in their vision, and nothing else.
The blue sky was no more, the mountains and rivers were no more, and the world was only filled with demons and monsters!
Those who still had the courage to raise their weapons were already dragons and phoenixes among men.
"Boom —"
Suddenly, the huge foot under his feet seemed to jump up high.
Duan Ming just happened to jump up, and everything became slow motion. The huge impact from who knows where caused the entire plain to be instantly split open, and cracks that were one foot wide and several feet long appeared!
"Wu — Wuming —" The earth let out a roar that couldn't bear the weight.
The cracks quickly expanded.
Countless cloud beasts lost their footing and fell to the ground, which was full of scars.
The indestructible Black Iron Great Wall that had stood for tens of thousands of years shook heavily and twisted. The twisted black waves quickly overlapped and spread to the left and right.
What kind of shocking impact was this?!
Fortunately, the Black Iron Great Wall was connected from end to end and planted deep underground. Although it couldn't bear the weight, it still stabilized its foundation and didn't show any signs of collapsing.
However, the huge wave of Nether Demons had already crossed the 300-foot tall wall and pounced on the buffer plain!
The visual impact was extremely terrifying.
At this moment, facing this wave of Nether Demons, the people who continued to head north all had their cheeks numb and stiff. What entered their lungs was no longer air, but an extremely sticky fishy smell. It was as if they were in a boundless pile of stinky fish, unable to struggle or poke their heads out to take a breath of fresh air.
You Wuming gently pulled on the reins. The Eastern Province Army that Huangfu Jun had sent to support him didn't hesitate at all. In an instant, they rushed to the front and formed a triangular formation to resist the impact.
"Show some sincerity." You Wuming's lips curled into a faint smile.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Sang Yuanyuan suddenly felt a gust of fresh air amidst the fishy wind. It also carried the faint fragrance of flowers.
She subconsciously leaned back, using her soft body to lean against the lean steel body behind her.
In the time it took for him to speak, the wave of Nether Demons that had crossed the Black Iron Great Wall came crashing down with the force of ten thousand kilograms. It was as if it could move mountains and flatten seas!
Under such circumstances, anyone's mind would be confined to a small area by the overwhelming pressure. Their vision would become extremely narrow. No matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't look into the distance.
This was probably a kind of biological instinct.
Sang Yuanyuan didn't dare to hold back.
She waved her hands, and 19 ultimate man-eating flowers suddenly appeared outside the Eastern Province Army. They all raised their buds and aimed their huge petals at the incoming wave of Nether Demons.
Sang Yuanyuan couldn't be blamed for wanting money more than her life. She actually wanted to summon the other 53 man-eating flowers that stored the spirit veins to defend against the enemy. However, they didn't listen to her orders. They only cared about refining the spirit veins. No matter how hard she tried, they wouldn't move. She could only give up.
In this moment of delay, the wave of Nether Demons had arrived!
The 19 flowers that were lined up in front of the Eastern Province Army, after plucking the first wave of Nether Demons, were all smashed down by the wave of Nether Demons. The petals were like waves, trembling heavily.
The next wave of Nether Demons was about to arrive.
The Eastern Province Army had already drawn their weapons. Without hesitation, they slashed forward, cutting down the second wave of Nether Demons that came crashing down!
The Nether Demons didn't stop and attacked again.
Sang Yuanyuan took the time to look to the right. She saw that the Defense Army in front of Huangfu Jun had already been smashed by the wave of Nether Demons. Although they were protected by their spiritual armor and were temporarily unharmed, the wave of Nether Demons had already rushed in through the gaps. The soldiers that fell to the ground were trampled by the endless waves of Nether Demons. They couldn't stand up at all.
On the Nether Demon Battlefield, many soldiers died in such a sullen manner.
With their armor protecting them, although they wouldn't be bitten to death, they would be crushed by the layers of Nether Demons. They wouldn't be able to resist until they died.
Huangfu Jun was injured. Although he was at ease for the time being, it was obvious that his endurance was a problem.
He waved his monk's rod and slashed at the gap that the Nether Demons had broken through. He helped the soldiers who had fallen to the ground stand up again and rebuild the defense line.
You Wuming didn't attack.
He narrowed his eyes and looked around.
Under his lead, Sang Yuanyuan felt that the invisible shackle on her mind seemed to have loosened a lot. She followed his gaze and looked into the distance. She saw that the Nether Demon Tsunami wasn't coming from one or two places. Looking to the end of her vision, she felt that it was really a wave. It rose and fell. However, wherever the wave rose, it had already broken through the Black Iron Outer Great Wall and smashed into the buffer zone of the plains.
A few days ago, when the "tide" was triggered by the "Heavenly Dao" protecting Han Shaoling, a lot of the kerosene and rolling stones on the Great Wall had been used up. She didn't know how to survive such a terrifying wave of demonic roars.
For a moment, Sang Yuanyuan's heart was filled with a strong sense of powerlessness and despair.
Could the so-called calamity of the world be coming so soon?
At that moment, those who were trapped in a small area and could not see the entire situation were lucky. They fought in a daze and fought until they died. From the beginning to the end, they still had hope in their hearts.
Suddenly, she heard You Wuming chuckle.
He slowly raised his saber. His movements were extremely slow, but the moment the tip of the saber was pointed at the sky, lightning flames suddenly flashed. He felt a cold wind blowing against his face. The shadow of the saber was like a fan that spread forward.
The unstoppable Nether Demon Wave seemed to have collided with a black hole.
Then, the irreversible tide reversed backward. Escape was completely futile. The demonic bodies that had been cut apart were burned into black fragments by the flames of destruction. When the fragments came into contact with their own kind, they were instantly set ablaze. Layers of flames died endlessly, rolling and surging backward.
In an instant, an irreparable wound was torn on the red wave!
"The power of this saber is actually terrifying!"
Amidst the roars of the Nether Demons, Sang Yuanyuan suddenly heard such a familiar line. She could not help but be stunned and turn her head to look.
The one who sighed was Huangfu Jun.
It seemed that these days, Huangfu Xiong had told him a lot of stories.
Huangfu Jun looked over in a daze. His gaze was extremely complicated.
You Wuming pulled on the reins and saw Shorty leap up high. It directly swept over the heads of the Eastern Province soldiers. The Cloud Beast's hind legs kicked at the man-eating flower bud. Sang Yuanyuan was extremely cooperative. He controlled the man-eating flower to lower and push it forward. Shorty flew more than 30 feet up. Its forelegs retracted in front of its chest. Its posture was smooth and neat, very much like the legendary mythical beast.
You Wuming laughed savagely. He waved his saber with one hand, and rays of fan light spread out in all directions. When Shorty's four hooves landed on the ground, as far as the eye could see, there were only patches of black charred ashes.
A terrifying gap was torn open in the tsunami that was capable of toppling Mount Tai by his own strength.
The 19 man-eating flowers followed You Wuming's footsteps closely. They wagged their little brown tails and pounced forward, swallowing the scattered Nether Demons into their stomachs.
"Do you want to help Huangfu Jun?" She took the time to ask.
"Yes." You Wuming's thin lips curled up slightly.
Thus, Sang Yuanyuan moved the flowers to the vicinity of Huangfu Jun, relieving a lot of the pressure on him.
The Eastern Province soldiers behind quickly caught up. They spread out their formation and stabilized their footing.
With this long steel 'dam', the momentum of the Nether Demons' charge was greatly reduced. The Nether Demons that were rushing towards the Inner Great Wall were split up and could only attack the middle section of the Inner Great Wall.
The defenders of the Inner Great Wall used kerosene, rolling stones, and heavy crossbows to withstand the terrifying first wave of Nether Demons.
You Wuming turned around and slanted towards the Inner Great Wall, crushing the Nether Demons that covered the sky and earth along the way.
Wherever he went, the only thing left behind were the remnants of Nether Demons that looked like charred pieces of paper. They spun in the air like little black butterflies.
You Wuming, who was fighting with all his strength, had unknowingly spread out a pair of wings of light on his back.
Sang Yuanyuan suddenly had a feeling that after this battle, You Wuming would receive a new nickname.
Just as this thought flashed through her mind, she heard someone from the Eastern Province soldiers who were hurriedly catching up to them exclaim —
"Nether … Nether Butterfly King!"
Sang Yuanyuan: "…"
It was clearly the Fluttering Moth King.
The high-ranking Eastern Province soldiers were actually not afraid of the Nether Demons.
They followed closely behind You Wuming, helping him wipe out the small groups of Nether Demons. Their teamwork was also extremely good.
This line was like a sharp triangular blade, deeply stabbing into the Nether Demons' vitals, causing the surging Nether Demons to be utterly defeated. Wherever it passed, the neat and tidy Nether Demons immediately fell to the ground, trampling all over each other. The rhythm of the Nether Demons was messed up, and the first terrifying wave seemed to be on the verge of dissipating.
The Eastern Province soldiers beside Huangfu Jun were also the elites of the elites.
In the beginning, when they engaged in close combat, they were only momentarily stunned by the monstrous waves. When they regained their senses and got into formation, it was like a wall of metal and stone that could not be broken by the Nether Demons.
This army lined up in a row, using spikes and shields to protect their flanks. Just like You Wuming, they slanted towards the Inner Great Wall.
Although their speed was slow, they had the advantage of spreading out over a wide area. As they swept across, the Nether Demons under the Inner Great Wall were instantly crushed under their feet.
Huangfu Jun's army, in terms of overall strength, was one of the best in the Eighteen Prefectures of Cloud Realm. Only the Imperial Army of Tiandu that never showed themselves in front of others might be able to fight them head-on.
Sang Yuanyuan secretly thought for a moment, then understood why You Wuming wanted to help Huangfu Jun.
Because whether he helped or not, the Nether Demons could not do anything to him. At most, some soldiers would die.
He might as well get this favor for free. Anyway, it would be a waste if he did not take it.
In the face of the Nether Demons, one less human being dying was one less human being!
The Eastern Province soldiers that followed You Wuming did not have the slightest bit of disloyalty. They wholeheartedly supported You Wuming. If You Wuming was the head of the wave, then they were the tail wave that followed closely behind. They cooperated seamlessly, using all their strength to kill the enemy.
This assault was over a hundred li.
The Qin Province region was, after all, well-equipped. Although the Outer Great Wall was completely wiped out, the Inner Great Wall had basically withstood the first wave. When the majority of the Nether Demons fell from a height of several hundred zhang, they had already smashed themselves into a pile of minced meat. When the Nether Demons behind rolled down, many of the Nether Demons in front were smashed to death. Therefore, by the time they reached the Inner Great Wall, the pressure had automatically decreased by a lot.
There were a few places that were already on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, there was You Wuming in the West and Huangfu Jun in the East. The two armies swept past and resolved the danger of the Inner Great Wall.
However, the situation was not optimistic.
Qin Province originally had an absolute advantage in equipment. Not only did they have spiritual armor, they also had all kinds of defensive equipment. They were all made of spiritual iron and were all of high quality. Their power was naturally different from normal. In addition, with the help of the two top experts, Huangfu Jun and You Wuming, they were able to keep the Inner Great Wall from being destroyed.
There was no need to talk about the other places.
For those provinces that were originally not as fierce and weak as the Nether Demons, when faced with this wave of Nether Demons, they could only lie down and die.
"We have to go."
You Wuming narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. He tilted his head and said to the general of the Eastern Province army who was following closely behind him, "Go back and tell the King of Eastern Province that You Wuming is about to get married. We will send him a letter. He can choose not to come, but the gift must be generous."
The general of Eastern Province looked up and saw that they were about to reach the border between Qin and Zhang Prefectures. He knew that it was time to go back and report.
"King of Youzhou, take care!"
You Wuming leisurely pulled up the reins. With a sweep of his black saber, he swept out an empty space below the Inner Great Wall as a farewell.
The Eastern Province army turned around in unison.
The black hooves of the Cloud Beast wrapped in spiritual armor rumbled like thunder. Short-lived tilted its big head and glanced at You Wuming with resentment — it still hadn't been equipped with the armor yet!
The puppet hung on its neck and swung its small wooden legs.
The people of Eastern Province had left. It could come out and kill those Nether Demons again.
It did not know how dangerous the Nether Demons were to the human race. It only knew that these one-eyed monsters were fun to kill, and that its master was very happy to let it kill them.
Looking at the excited puppet, Short-lived gradually had a bold idea …
"Oh?"
You Wuming stared at the backs of the Eastern Province army in a daze for a moment. Then, he smiled faintly and went straight to the west.
"There may not be any traces under Ice Fog Valley. Even if there are, Yun Xuzhou will be able to solve it," he said slowly. "What we need to guard against now is the meeting between Huangfu Jun and Kang Yanji."
Sang Yuanyuan nodded.
That's right.
Huangfu Jun's thumb ring appeared under Ice Fog Valley. Although it was enough to arouse Huangfu Jun's suspicion, it was not conclusive evidence. Perhaps he had thrown it away earlier, or perhaps Jiang Jinzhen had deliberately thrown it away along the way.
As long as they did not find any more clues under Ice Fog Valley, this matter would be left unsettled.
Today, Huangfu Jun exposed the big secret of being able to sense the blood flow of others. You Wuming and Sang Yuanyuan realized that there was a terrible flaw in the whole situation. As long as Huangfu Jun and Kang Yanji met and asked, they would know that Kang Yanji had nothing to do with Huangfu Du's death.
That was close!
Thank goodness!
It was not too late to find out Huangfu Jun's secret now!
"There's one more thing …" You Wuming said carelessly. "Little Sang Guo, do you know where this Nether Demon came from?"
Sang Yuanyuan was stunned at first, but then he reacted. "Could it be that Han Shaoling and Meng Wuyou are facing a life and death crisis that is more serious than a few days ago?!"
The three lightning strikes that saved Han Shaoling's life had already triggered a 'tidal surge' in the whole territory. Then, this monstrous tsunami in front of them …
Forgive her for being incompetent, but she really could not guess what kind of disaster that couple was seeking at this moment.
Sang Yuanyuan composed herself. "The next time we meet, we'll take his life while he's sick!
Even if a disaster really comes, it's better than being tormented every now and then!
We'll get rid of these two scourges in one fell swoop. At worst, we'll destroy and rebuild this ruin! "
You Wuming's face was full of fear. "Little Sang Guo, I really underestimated you. You are the real Great Demon King of Destruction!"
Sang Yuanyuan raised her head and waved her small hand. "Let's go!"
