While speaking, Xiao Hua waved his hand. Another huge Thunder Boat landed side by side in the sky. Sun Jian smiled. He pointed at one of the Thunder Boats and said, "Demon Slayer Army, this Thunder Boat will be the boat for your army of fifty thousand. Everyone, get back to your positions!"
"Yes …" Following Sun Jian's command, a hundred or so disciples from the blue army flew out and landed on the Thunder Ship. A moment later, the Thunder Ship began to rumble. Then, the disciples split into different formations and landed on different parts of the Thunder Ship.
"Demon-slaying Army, get back to your positions!"
Sun Jian gave another order. Disciples of the yellow Demon-slaying Army drove the Thunder Boats as well. Some disciples were on guard around the Thunder Boats. More disciples were scattered around the Thunder Boats.
"Fellow Immortals, please …" Only the green-robed Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua's doppelganger, Liu Yi, and other disciples were left in midair. Following Sun Jian's command, they also flew to different thunder boats. Obviously, Sun Jian had already assigned them.
Sun Wu looked at Xiao Hua and revealed a trace of a smile: "Daoist Master Xiao, which army did you choose?"
"Don't be hasty …" Xiao Hua seemed to have thought of something. He clapped his hands and took out a Jade Eye Ring from his chest. He handed it to Sun Jian and said, "These are some offensive and defensive formations that I have comprehended. They should be effective in military formations. You can take a look!"
"Okay!" Sun Jian took the Jade Eye Ring and put it away with a smile. It seemed that he didn't trust Xiao Hua's formations.
Xiao Hua didn't say much. He smiled and said, "I choose the Demon-slaying Army!"
After saying that, his figure flashed and landed on the Thunder Ship.
Sun Jian landed on the other Thunder Boat with the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand. He shouted, "Let's go!"
"Boom …" The two Thunder Boats roared at the same time. The distance between them was pulled apart and they flew to the southwest …
With Sun Jian's command and the one hundred thousand soldiers showing him the direction, Xiao Hua was completely relieved. He just sat on the Thunder Boat and released his spirit. It covered an area of tens of thousands of miles and collected all the wandering souls in the space.
Previously, when Xiao Hua was at the Xiaoyu Continent, he sowed the seeds along the way. Now, in the Ruins, he harvested the souls along the way. The two armies did different things, but the mercy of the two armies was the same.
Sowing seeds was for survival, and searching for wandering souls was also for survival. Even if Xiao Hua's selfishness was for the sake of his own space, in essence, he had indeed saved countless lives.
More than a day later, Xiao Hua suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the beautiful scenery of the lake, and said a few words via voice transmission. He looked at the beautiful scenery of the lake and the beautiful scenery of the lake.
After a while, a smile appeared on Xiao Hua's face. He closed his eyes again and continued to comprehend the time fluctuation that he had experienced in the Heavenly Prison.
Faint thunderbolts flashed around the two thunder boats. In the time it took to smoke half a cigarette, they had already crossed a large lake. When they reached the second large lake, "Woo woo …" A chilly wind blew, and the lake below the thunder boats suddenly shattered, turning into thousands of fragments that flew into the air. The fragments streaked across the sky, and blood seeped out from the edges of the fragments. Looking at the location of the large lake again, it had become a huge depression. In this depression, dense Demon Energy began to spread rapidly in all directions. Before the blood-colored fragments could reach the thunder boats, the Demon Energy had already covered an area of nearly a thousand miles. What was special was that this area seemed to have been prepared for an ambush. Every time the Demon Energy passed by, a fist-sized Demon Energy would rush out from under the ground, the lake, and the forest!
Naturally, there were disciples on the Thunder Boats who were on guard. Seeing this, how could they not know that they had fallen into the demon's ambush?
"Not good!"
The disciples' faces were filled with nervousness and excitement. They hurriedly sent a message to the rear according to their previous training. Moreover, they were somewhat flustered as they set up a defense!
Sun Jian stood on the other Thunder Boat with a steely expression as he watched silently. Xiao Hua had already sent a message to him, and he knew that there was a demon's ambush. However, in order to train the Fortune Gate's disciples, he did not warn them in advance. Instead, he let the Thunder Boats take the initiative to enter the ambush and observe the disciples' reactions.
As expected, although the two armies had rehearsed the battle several times, it was inevitable that these disciples would make mistakes in a real battle.
Xiao Hua naturally could not see these mistakes, but they were so obvious in Sun Jian's eyes.
"Calm down …" Sun Jian could not help but scold, "Set up a formation according to this general's instructions. Don't panic …"
Xiao Hua stood up and said indifferently, "Don't panic. Although the enemy is close, your heart must be calm. Everything must be in order!"
These two sentences seemed very ordinary, but they were like a calming stone. All the disciples paused for a moment, then began to set up a formation according to their memories and training.
Under the control of the disciples, the two lightning boats were also hovering in mid-air in a parallel manner.
At this moment, the demonic aura billowed. Not only did it continue to spread in all directions, but it also swept the two thunder boats from bottom to top. Those flying fragments with blood-colored edges were now engulfed by the hurricane, shrouding nearly a thousand miles of space. The fragments flipped rapidly in the air. Regardless of whether it was the color of blood or the rays of light that shot out, they all presented a strange color.
Of course, the Fortune Gate's disciples on the two Thunder Boats were not idle. The hundred thousand disciples did not fly out from the Thunder Boats. Instead, they stood in formation on the Thunder Boats. The lightning on the Thunder Boats flickered slightly, and it was obvious that they were ready to attack.
The thousand li of space suddenly became silent, and even the wind froze. This silence only lasted for a few breaths. "Ga ga …" A soul-shaking sound emerged from these fragments at the same time. Then, like a fountain, blood spurted out from every fragment. The blood instantly filled the entire space, and from the blood, shadows of the Devil Race rushed out. "Roar roar …" At the same time, there were shadows of the Devil Race in the hurricane of devil qi. Each of them was clad in pitch-black armor and held a devil artifact in their hands. They flapped their wings and pounced with bared fangs and brandished claws.
"Something is strange!"
Xiao Hua sensed the faint teleportation fluctuations in the air. He also released his divine sense to observe the appearance of the Devil Race. Even so, Xiao Hua couldn't see how these Devil Race arrived here through the void.
However, after the Devil Race appeared, the fragments did not disappear. Instead, they continued to emit blood-red light. The blood-red light crisscrossed and formed a strange devil formation. Moreover, there were faint fluctuations in the devil formation that made people feel dizzy.
"All teams, pay attention!" Sun Jian's voice sounded. "Attack …"
"Rumble …" Following Sun Jian's order, all kinds of magic treasures rushed out, diluting the blood-red light emitted by the fragments. In an instant, those strange fluctuations were wiped out!
Moreover, after the magic treasures flew out, the two Thunder Boats shot out lightning bolts, extinguishing the blood-red light several li away from the Thunder Boats. Even the magic treasures had no chance against the fragments, and many of them were destroyed by the lightning bolts.
"Wuuu …" After the lightning bolts disappeared, a strange bugle call sounded from the devil qi. The Devil Race that was dancing in the blood-red light and devil qi began to reveal themselves. They formed a formation and pounced towards the Thunder Boats.
"Kill …" Sun Jian calmly ordered. Magic treasures flew out like rainbows, and lightning bolts fell like rain.
The Fortune Gate's disciples' magic treasures were not something the Ruins' cultivators' magic treasures could compare to. Which one of them wasn't powerful?
Some of the Fortune Gate's disciples were even holding spirit artifacts!
When these magic treasures landed on the Devil Race's body, they would be severely injured at best, and in the worst case, their bodies would be pulverized.
However, although the Fortune Gate's disciples were powerful, the Devil Race seemed to have no end. In less than half a cup of tea's time, the Devil Race had already broken through the Thunder Boats' defenses and arrived in front of the Fortune Gate's disciples.
"Disciples, form a formation … attack …" Sun Jian coldly watched, and when the Devil Race got closer, he waved his hand and shouted.
"Kill …" After receiving the military order, other than the disciples guarding the Thunder Boats, the rest of the disciples on the two Thunder Boats flew out to meet the Devil Race's enemies. Liu Yi, Jiang Hong, You Zhongquan, and the others also led some disciples out.
In just a few breaths' time, the area within a thousand li was filled with battle cries, and blood-red light gradually splashed. Whether it was the Devil Race's black qi or the Devil Race's radiance, they were all entangled together!
Xiao Hua frowned slightly. He released his divine sense and covered the surrounding space. Since this was a battlefield, the Fortune Gate's disciples would inevitably suffer casualties. Xiao Hua would not let these disciples become wandering souls. He had to keep them in the dark side of the space.
Sure enough, in less than half a cup of tea's time, the Fortune Gate's disciples began to fall one after another like falling gourds. Xiao Hua collected the souls of these dead disciples, and similarly, he also collected their corpses and other belongings on the Thunder Boats.
However, as more and more disciples fell, Xiao Hua seemed to be unable to cope.
Right at this moment, Xiao Hua suddenly froze. He discovered something strange.
Just a moment ago, a disciple had fallen, and Xiao Hua was only focused on collecting the corpses on the side. He wanted to turn around and collect the rest later, but in the blink of an eye, that disciple's soul actually disappeared, leaving behind only the corpse falling down.
"Strange?" Xiao Hua's divine sense probed again, but he did not discover anything, so he continued to collect other souls.
But after a while, Xiao Hua discovered that more and more souls were disappearing. He had no choice but to stop. He narrowed his eyes and looked around the battlefield. Then, with a flip of his hand, the Delusion Breaker Law Eye opened between his brows.
Sure enough, there were some faint green human figures and black devil figures on the battlefield. These figures were like flowing water, flowing to eight different locations around the battlefield.
And at those eight locations, there were clusters of dense black light flashing with a strange aura.
"Oh, so there are Devil Race collecting wandering souls nearby to refine devil artifacts!"
Xiao Hua understood and thought inwardly, "The Devil Race in the Ruins seems to be different from the Devil Race in the Dawn Rain Mainland.
The Devil Race's devil artifacts are heavy, and devil banners and other kinds of devil artifacts are rare.
But here, devil banners are more common than heavy devil artifacts!
Especially when the Devil Race besieged the Ruins, not only did they seal the transmission array, but they also sealed the passage for wandering souls to enter the Netherworld. There must be some unknown secret here! "
