The Dark City (First Update)

Chapter 560: The Dark City (First Update)

The Black Tiger God was crawling on the ground. Qin Mu quickly threw the box onto his back, hugged Hu Ling'er, and jumped onto the tiger's back with the three girls and Long Qilin.

The Black Tiger God immediately broke out into a gallop, sending the mountains flying by at an unparalleled speed.

Qin Mu clung to the tiger's back, listening to the Black Tiger God's panting, which gradually quickened. He thought to himself, "I was right. Senior Brother Tiger's whole life of practice was ruined by Fatty Long. He was broken by Fatty Long. I hope he won't grow too fat, otherwise he won't be able to explain to the Saint Master... Well, whether he can break through the enemy camp and return to Licheng is probably a difficult problem..."

At this moment, there was a deafening sound like a dam collapsing and a flood coming from the front. Qin Mu hurriedly looked forward against the strong wind, and saw sword lights tearing through the high wall of demonic energy and tearing a big hole in the demon camp.

Following these sword lights were tall gourds that floated in the air. Around the gourds floated people with magical powers. These people used their magical powers to activate the gourds. Thunder surged in the gourds, and the thunder from the sky poured down on the demon camp like a torrential rain.

Behind the Thunder Gourd were countless sword balls, tens of thousands of which were spinning madly. As lightning struck, countless sword rains shot from above into the demon camp.

Behind the sword ball were groups of tower ships. The true energy cannons on those tower ships plowed the ground with their cannon light, destroying the demon camp!

"It's Yan Kang's army!"

Qin Mu was very excited: "The swordsmanship that just broke through the camp was the swordsmanship of Imperial Master Yan Kang! This guy is really scheming. The demon god that rushed out of the demon camp to kill us should be the commander of that camp. When the commander left the camp, the Imperial Master immediately saw the flaw and took the opportunity to break the formation! Only the Imperial Master would be so scheming!"

Yankang Guoshi's swordsmanship is in the Dao, and the swordsmanship has cultivated his Dao heart. No flaws of the enemy can escape his eyes, and no one can escape his sword light, and the same is true for the enemy's formation. He turned the swordsmanship into an offensive method on the battlefield, and used it in war, and he was always successful.

Qin Mu felt relieved. Even if the Black Tiger God was a little out of breath, he was enough to lead them out of the siege and back to Licheng.

In front, the two gods, Master Yankang and Duke Weiguo, were leading the way. Behind them were a number of tower ships. Many soldiers were falling from the sky with thunder gourds and landing on the tower ships.

Further behind was an army consisting of countless exotic beasts and magical beings.

The Black Tiger God rushed to the battlefield, shook his body violently, and sent everyone flying. He stood up, grabbed two sledgehammers, and swung them like windmills, smashing towards the enemy like a violent storm.

Boom——

The Black Tiger God slammed his hammer to the ground, and the surging power swept in all directions, and countless demons were knocked into the air.

The Black Tiger God rushed towards the enemy's battle formation frantically, and roared, "You go back first, I will digest the elixir and refine the fat on my belly, otherwise the lord will not recognize me when I go back!"

After saying this, this demon god swept all the way to the front line, led the way in destroying the enemy camp and formation, suddenly opened his mouth and roared, and an extremely strong white light blasted away the demon god rushing in front of him, the white light penetrated a hundred miles, and then slowly dissipated.

Qin Mu was dumbfounded. He turned his head and looked at the fat dragon unicorn thrown in the air. He felt sad. "The Saint Master's mount is still the best. Even if it eats a little greedily, it knows how to practice and maintains a well-proportioned body. It won't delay its cultivation..."

Long Qilin was also dumbfounded. He glanced at Qin Mu's gloomy face, as if thinking about something.

A ship came flying in the sky and passed by them. On the bow of the ship stood a young general. With a wave of his hand, golden lotus flowers appeared. There was a lotus under each of their feet, which lifted them up and sent them to the ship.

"Qin Feiyue, young General Qin!" Qin Mu was surprised and quickly saluted.

Qin Feiyue was wearing armor and bowed slightly in return: "Master Qin, Princess Xiu. I am wearing armor, so it is inconvenient for me to be polite."

A person flashed out from behind him. It was Qin Yu, with a young dragon wrapped around his body. He also greeted Qin Mu and the others: "Qin Yu greets Master Qin, Princess Xiu, and Saint Xiang."

The two brothers were born into the Qin family, an aristocratic family of General Tiance. They were among the many disciples of the national teacher. They followed the national teacher to practice for a period of time, and later achieved some success and were appointed to serve in the army.

Yankang Imperial Master had many disciples, but they often joined the army and held high positions. Ling Yuxiu was a man of high character and made many friends, many of whom were Imperial Master's disciples.

When Qin Mu met Ling Yuxiu for the first time, Ling Yuxiu had entered Daxu with Qin Feiyue, intending to map the geography of Daxu and capture it.

The young dragon on Qin Yu raised its head curiously and looked at Qin Mu. Suddenly, it swam down from Qin Yu and climbed onto Qin Mu. It rubbed Qin Mu's cheek with its dragon horn and whispered, "Maha..."

Qin Yu was stunned, and quickly took out the dragon ball, trying to call back his baby dragon, but the baby dragon was still reluctant to leave Qin Mu.

Qin Yu couldn't help but feel uneasy: "I couldn't compare to him in Taixue Academy. He beat me several times. Later, when he became the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, I was even worse than him. Could it be that he will also take my dragon away?"

Qin Mu took the little dragon off and looked at it again and again, and said in surprise: "Could this dragon be the real dragon in Yongjiang Dragon Palace?"

Qin Feiyue nodded and said, "The national teacher invited the little poison king Fu Yuanqing to revive him, and later gave him to my brother."

Qin Mu's heart was moved, and he said with a smile: "Junior Brother Qin Yu, can you lend me your little dragon for a few days?"

Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, and Qin Feiyue smiled and said, "Master Qin has an extraordinary status, and he is also the chief priest of the Tiansheng Academy. He has raised countless dragons. How could he cheat you?"

Qin Yu had no choice but to nod. Qin Mu smiled and said, "Brother Qin Yu, I won't lend it for nothing. I will give you some benefits. When I return this little dragon to you, you will understand where the benefits are."

The dragonet shrank in its smaller form, crawled onto his earlobe, and hung from it, like a dangling earlobe.

Qin Mu looked into the distance and saw that the Thai king's army was taking advantage of the Yankang army's break in the formation to intercept the demon army coming to support from both sides, like two fists, hitting the enemy hard.

In the near distance, the battles on the shipboards were led by young generals, artillery fire was plowing the ground from the air, and the magical practitioners on the ship activated their swords and magical powers to blast downwards, while in the rear, strong men cleared the way, and the army of strange beasts and infantry slaughtered the demons.

"The generals on the other ships are also disciples of the Imperial Master!"

Ling Yuxiu looked around and said to Qin Mu, "The disciples of the Imperial Master are often registered in the Imperial Academy of Jiangling Academy. They often go to the academy to teach, and most of them are military masters. There are also acquaintances there, brothers and sisters from the Imperial Academy!"

Qin Mu looked from afar and saw Wei Yong, Shen Wanyun and others, and waved to them. However, those people were concentrating on urging their spirit soldiers to attack downwards and did not see them.

After a while, the tower ship broke up the enemy formation and blew the demon army below into pieces. The alien beast battle formation from the rear crushed over and the fighting became brutal.

Qin Feiyue ordered the ships to stop moving forward, stop firing, and use spiritual soldiers to attack the fleeing enemies below to stabilize the position. He explained to Qin Mu: "The reason why our Yankang army is the vanguard this time is mainly because the Taihuangtian's magical masters have poor attainments in numerology and their battle formations are somewhat ordinary. The national teacher feels that their formations lack impact power, so he let our Yankang army break the formation in front."

Qin Mu praised: "The national teacher is very talented. Taihuangtian's numerology is indeed a little lacking."

Sang Huan blushed and lowered her head in silence.

"Although Taihuangtian's numerology is poor, his supernatural powers are very strong. In terms of cultivation, I, Yankang, cannot match him. We can only charge in the battle formation. For the close combat later, we can only rely on Taihuangtian's supernatural powers."

Qin Feiyue urged the sword ball to attack the demons below from a high position, and said with emotion: "I think I am extraordinary in the realm of heaven, but meeting these supernatural powers in Taihuangtian is really an eye-opener. With my cultivation strength, I can't even rank in Taihuangtian! This time, when charging the enemy, the national teacher has ordered that no one is allowed to get off the ship to fight, because our soldiers are at the same level and are no match for the demons."

The battle lasted for a long time, until the sun in the sky went out, and then both sides sounded the retreat.

Sang Hua was puzzled: "We have clearly won the battle, so why do we have to withdraw? Why can't we just attack Lincheng while the enemy is fleeing?"

Ling Yuxiu said: "We are short of troops. Attacking Lincheng will only disperse our forces, giving the demons a chance to defeat them one by one. The national master retreated after winning this time, using the method of cannibalization. On this battlefield, he continuously cannibalized the demons' manpower until the demons' manpower was completely strangled here. Then, the demons will have a hard time!"

Qin Mu remembered what the woodcutter sage had said: Taihuangtian could not be defended at all, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

The words of the Woodcutter Saint were not groundless. If he said that it could not be defended, then it would definitely not be defended. The demons would definitely not fight in the way that State Master Yankang wanted. Fu Ri Luo must have other intentions.

In the dark battlefield, ghost lights suddenly appeared, and entrances to different dimensions appeared. Many ghost lights floated from another world. They were small boats sailing out of the underworld. Old men with unclear faces got off the boats, hanging lanterns to welcome the spirits of the heroes who died in the battle.

No matter whether they are human or demon, as long as they become ghosts, they will be led to the underworld by them.

The retreating army below moved forward silently, turning a blind eye to these ghost officials from Youdu, as if they had become accustomed to it.

Qin Mu stood at the bow of the ship in the air, watching this scene, feeling deeply moved, but he said nothing.

At this moment, a small boat appeared in front of the ship and sailed quietly. The old man sitting on the bow stood up and raised the lantern to shine it towards Qin Mu.

"Qin Fengqing, you have disturbed Youdu. Tu Bo asks you to go and explain the cause and effect." said the old man holding the lantern.

Qin Mu was startled and said with a smile: "Who is Qin Fengqing? Elder, you have recognized the wrong person."

The light from the lantern shone on his face, and the old man behind the lantern said nothing.

Suddenly, a black light flashed, and the Black Tiger God appeared at the bow, blocking him behind him and shouting, "The ghost messenger only takes care of the afterlife, when did he also take care of the life?"

The face behind the lantern was blurry, and he said, "The Underworld has its own rules. The Underworld does not interfere with the affairs of the living world, but if people in the living world interfere with the operation of the Underworld, the Underworld must intervene. Qin Fengqing released 48,000 ghosts in the Underworld fifteen days ago, violating the laws of the Underworld. As early as fifteen days ago, Qin Fengqing had been notified to go to the Underworld to explain the cause and effect, but he had a treasure on him that blocked the messenger from delivering the order."

Imperial Master Yankang stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "What if I don't allow you to take him away?"

The old man behind the lantern said slowly, "Many worlds have been destroyed because of this."

Qin Mu couldn't help but think of the scene he had seen in Youdu, where the Demon King Dutian howled in the darkness, so tragic and heroic that it brought tears to people's eyes. He said, "National Master, Senior Brother Hu, you don't have to say anything more. I will just let him go."
