Chapter 0838: Hand-to-Hand Combat
The slimy demon body suddenly became as hard as a stone. Xin Youtao was not far from the heart, but he could not move forward. His fingers could not move. He could not offer the talisman.
The red light closest to him was gradually getting longer and turned into a big snake with its mouth opened, rushing towards Xin Youtao slowly.
Xin Youtao only needed a little space, and he tried his best, but the gap between him and the opponent was too big. The self-sacrificing king only used a small part of his strength to completely suppress him.
There was one last chance. The demon body around the red snake would become soft. When it pounced, Xin Youtao might have time to offer a talisman in his hand. As for the other talismans, they might be destroyed and he could not release any spells.
If there was time, Xin Youtao would regret it. If he acted earlier, he could offer more talismans, but now he was focused. From head to toe, even every pore was filled with one thought and one expectation: to offer at least one talisman before his body was shattered by the magic.
For the Sheshen King, the small battle inside the demon body was over. The target he cared about was the pale blue Mu Xingqiu in the distance. He remembered that when the Taoist hermit went to Zhaoshan to seize the divine pill, he encountered a strong enemy, but he could only bring back more than 70 divine pills, not all of them.
It is said that it was a true illusion, but it had the strength of the Injection Realm. After returning to the country, the hermit once solemnly reminded the Sheshen King: Before the demon clan obtained the body, the true illusion might be his only equal opponent.
Now this opponent has finally appeared.
The Sheshen King felt that the demon body was destroyed again. He looked down and found that one arm of the Fish Dragon Formation Giant had stretched into the chest of the demon body.
He had not used his full strength, because the Fish Dragon Formation Giant was also a rare strong man. He hoped to seize the giant's power through the flesh sacrifice, but compared with the true illusion, the giant was not worth mentioning.
The self-sacrificing king exerted force with his right hand, and the several divine pills in his arm shone brightly, with explosions one after another. The demon sword slowly fell down, cutting off the palm of the giant of the fish dragon formation, and then fell down and chopped on the shoulder, sparks flew, like a piece of steel being sawed open.
Xiao Qingtao's fish dragon formation giant is different from the previous method. After the palm fell, it disappeared. No cultivator was separated. All members shared the damage. It was not the limbs that were damaged, but the more precious inner pills.
The giant raised his head and roared, resisting the demon sword with his left shoulder, and his right hand continued to reach into the chest of the demon body. This was also a competition. If the demon sword hit the giant's heart first, the fish dragon formation would collapse, and the inner pills of 7,000 cultivators would all be damaged and become ordinary mortals. If the giant's right hand could help Xin Youtao in advance, perhaps there would be another result.
The devastating reverse technique spread over, with an amazing momentum, but not much power, like a warm breeze.
The Sheshen King shook slightly, and felt a faint pain all over his body, as if he had just woken up from a hangover.
"You are really capable, Zhenhuan, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and only you are worthy of being my opponent." The Sheshen King said loudly, and his demon body shook and still stood still, but the demon sword in his hand disappeared.
The giant fell down, and the fish dragon formation was also a spell. The strength of the seventh level of Xingluo could not withstand the influence of the reverse spell. The giant's whole body creaked, and the light flashed three times, and then exploded. Seven thousand monks flew in all directions. The inner elixir was damaged, and with the cover of the reverse spell, no one could fly, and fell to the ground with shouting.
The Sheshen King tried twice and found that the spell could not leave his body, so he took a big step towards the battlefield. No matter what evil tricks Zhenhuan used, he couldn't cast a spell, and Zhenhuan shouldn't be able to either.
Many monks who had just landed on the ground became victims. If they were a little slower, they would be trampled to death. The demon body of the self-sacrificing king was already nearly a hundred feet tall. After solidification, it was incredibly heavy. One step forward would inevitably leave a shoe-shaped deep pit, which was bloody.
The monks fled in all directions, and the self-sacrificing king did not chase them. He entered the battlefield in more than ten steps. The corpses on the ground were like weeds, being trampled into pieces.
Not only humans, but also the demons, as long as the survivors could move, all panicked and avoided. The hatred of hundreds of thousands of years and the fight of a morning became insignificant in front of a hundred-foot giant demon, just like the fight between two groups of ants. Humans and demons even mixed together, separated by a few feet, holding weapons in their hands, but they forgot to attack each other.
Most of the spells were dispelled by the reverse spell, including the spells in the demon's body. The red snake with its bloody mouth stopped, less than a foot away from the invader. Xin Youtao still couldn't move. Behind him, the right hand of the giant of the fish dragon formation had disappeared, leaving only one person, also less than a foot away from him.
Xiao Qingtao's fish dragon formation became more refined after the transformation. The seven thousand members were not evenly distributed throughout the body, but with the help of spells, they all lived in the crimson palace, overlapping but not crowded at all. The whole body was also generated by spells, with stronger power. When the limbs were damaged, no one would be killed. The damage was borne by the inner elixir of all members.
The disadvantage is that all members have to maintain a state of imagination and cannot be distracted at all, which makes the thinking of the entire giant relatively simple, and most actions and spells have to be determined in advance.
As the master of the formation, Xiao Qingtao is the only one who can move freely in the formation, and only she can occasionally awaken her mind and make some decisions for the giant.
The last decision she made for the Fish-Dragon Formation was to reach her hand into the monster's body and send herself in, hoping to help Xin Youtao.
She was even a little happy in her heart. If Xin Youtao was not in danger, she would have no reason to come in to help. As for the consequences, of course she knew what they were, but they were really insignificant to her.
In front of him was a ferocious maw, and behind him was the person he loved the most, both less than a foot apart. However, Xin Youtao could only see death in front of him. He didn't know that Xiao Qingtao was so close to him, but he was still determined to prepare for anything. Offer a talisman when you have the opportunity.
To ordinary humans and monsters, the King of Sacrifice is a black-robed monster standing tall and tall, and only Mu Xingqiu can see what's going on inside.
Mu Xingqiu couldn't withdraw the counter-spell. If the counter-spell disappears, the red snake in King Saishen's body will continue to move forward. It only takes a moment to swallow Xin Youtao. However, under the cover of the counter-spell, the illusion of mind can no longer be used. He can only Cast natural magic.
An iron chain flew out of Mu Xingqiu's hand and grew in the wind. Soon it was several hundred feet long, leaping over the battlefield and tightly wrapping around the demonic body of the King of Sacrifice.
The King of Sacrifice was slightly stunned. Zhenhuan could actually cast a spell. This was a bit beyond his expectation. However, this spell was too weak. He didn't even stop. He roared in his mouth and exerted force all over his body. The chain broke into dozens of pieces and turned into ashes and was blown away by the wind as it fell.
The natural magic spells were not powerful enough, so Mu Xingqiu no longer made meaningless attempts. Xin Youtao's judgment on him was absolutely correct. When a move failed, Mu Xingqiu's reaction was not to retreat, but to go forward.
He was the only person on the entire battlefield who could still fly. His light blue body gradually elongated during the flight, and only the front end still retained the shape of Mu Xingqiu's upper body.
He turned his body into a flexible rope, crossed half of the battlefield, entangled the King of Sacrifice again, and finally walked around to the front, face to face with the huge head of the King of Sacrifice.
The King of Sacrifice is completely different from before. The Half-Demon King a few years ago was a decrepit man who was about to die. But now he is growing new branches on the dead tree, full of vigorous and wanton vitality. To suck the life out of the old tree and all surrounding trees.
The King of Sacrifice could no longer move forward. He roared three times in a row and tried his best but still could not get rid of the light blue rope.
"I know who you are." King Sheshen just spoke casually, opening his mouth enough to swallow an ordinary human being, "You are the true illusion Zuo Liuying left in the world."
It turned out that this was the Taoist hermit's guess about the true illusion. Of course Mu Xingqiu would not refute it. He continued to increase his strength, hoping to destroy the demon body and force the King of Sacrifice to reveal his original body. "Let you and I decide." The battle will be won or lost.”
"Haha, I have to say that Zuo Liuying is indeed very smart. He can actually create a true illusion in the realm of concentration, and can also invent such strange spells, but these are of no use. Human beings have been protected by Taoism for too long. It is not at all Opponents of the demon tribe, demon soldiers, what are you waiting for? King Sheshen orders you to fight!"
The sound spread throughout the battlefield, and many demon soldiers woke up from a dream. They were still on the battlefield, holding weapons in their hands. The enemy was not far away, and everything was not over yet.
The brutal fighting suddenly started again, this time without the influence of the physical sacrifice and other spells, it was a pure hand-to-hand battle. The number of demon soldiers had always been dominant, and this time was no exception.
Mu Xingqiu's eyes widened in anger. King Sheshen deliberately provoked the fight in order to distract him. The only thing he could do was to work harder. As long as he defeated King Sheshen, the demon soldiers would flee.
The joints all over King Sheshen's body creaked. Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao inside his body both noticed the abnormality outside, but they didn't understand what was going on.
A smile appeared on King Sheshen's face, "Zhen Huan, you came out too early. Didn't Zuo Liuying tell you that the Qi Wen can only be effective once? It was a mistake for you to show up in Zhaoshan. Prepare to take the initiative."
A few miles away, a man crawled out from among a pile of corpses. He struggled for a while and finally got rid of the heavy pressure on his body, but the air he breathed was not fresh at all.
Shen Xiuming felt that he had slept for a long time, a very bad sleep, but he finally woke up. He looked down and saw that the wound on his chest had condensed. He glanced around and saw that the battle was still going on. He looked up Taking a quick look, he saw King Saishen and the light blue Mu Xingqiu.
Shen Xiuming opened his mouth and let out a hoarse laugh, "Haha, who else doesn't believe it? Look, that's Mu Xingqiu, the messenger sent by the ancient gods. What are you waiting for? Come on!"
Shen Xiuming casually grabbed a long bone spear on the ground, stepped on the corpse and rushed towards the King of Sacrifice, laughing excitedly, as if he was not going to die, but running towards eternal life.
The chief's words didn't have much appeal, and they couldn't spread far. No one followed, but several demon soldiers came up to intercept them.
An arrow passed by Shen Xiuming and shot down the demon soldier closest to him. He looked back and saw Queen Xun and her guards coming on horseback and Qilin.
No one can escape this war. Queen Xun would rather take the initiative to fight against it than wait passively.
