The ground rumbled. To the left of the Primeval Fierce Ox, two battle banners fluttered in the wind, one bearing the character "Fu!" and the other, "Zhang!".
Beneath these banners, thirty thousand soldiers of the Qiongqi Legion, clad in yellow armor, stirred up a thousand feet of blood mist. Like a blood-yellow ferocious beast, they charged downwards.
To the right of the Primeval Fierce Ox, a cavalry of about two hundred thousand gathered a dense aura of blood fiends. The cavalry thundered, and the earth boomed!
Within this army, two banners were also extremely conspicuous. One bore the character "Hua!", the other, "Lu!".
Hua Mulan and Lu Junyi, one at the first layer of Creation, the other at the peak of the Heaven-Connecting Realm, rode side by side, leading the army to charge from the front right.
"Kill!"
Lu Junyi gripped his spear, its edge sharp and piercing.
The two armies, discovered by Hu Lifu long ago, now charged out. Hu Lifu's face was filled with mockery, his words sarcastic: "This human race has set up two ambushes, intending to sever my flanks. Unfortunately, they were exposed long ago!"
"I was still worried that this human race might have set up three armies. I never expected the central route to be so idle. Heaven itself wants me to destroy the human race, hahaha!!"
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the Qiongqi in the central void roared. Hu Lifu hurriedly looked up and saw a figure standing between the Qiongqi's eyebrows. The figure was clad in yellow armor. Judging by the armor's quality, it had to be a commander. Hu Lifu narrowed his eyes, but due to the distance, he couldn't discern the person's appearance. However, the spear in their hand glinted with cold light, exuding an astonishing might!
"Roar!"
The Qiongqi rose to its feet, its wings flapping, stirring up waves like a tempest!
Dugu Xin gripped his spear, his eyes glinting with cold light, fixedly staring at Hu Lifu. To destroy the Primeval Fierce Ox and sever the Snake-tailed Serpent clan, he was indispensable.
If Hu Lifu died, it would surely alert the Primeval Fierce Ox lineage. Although the Qiongqi Legion alone could defeat the Primeval Fierce Ox and the Snake-tailed Serpent, it would only increase casualties.
"Kill!"
He shouted, and the Qiongqi beast behind him roared towards the sky as if receiving a military order. The two armies immediately thundered, their long spears gleaming.
"Peak... Peak Creation Realm..."
"How could the human race produce a powerhouse comparable to an Ancestor in a mere hundred years...!"
"There are only sixteen Peak Creation Realm experts in the entire Savage Realm. This balance has not been broken for hundreds of thousands of years. This human race...!"
Hu Lifu's eyes bulged, his chest heaving violently. The hand gripping his battle axe trembled.
With a Peak Creation Realm expert among the human race, their foundation was enough to rank at the pinnacle of the Savage Realm!
This was someone who stood shoulder to shoulder with Ancestors. How could he, a mere fifth-layer Creation expert, resist?
Alchemy has failed me!
Dugu Xin surveyed the opposing formation of Primeval Fierce Oxes. The Primeval Fierce Ox, towering ten thousand feet high and touching the sky, lowered its head. Within its horns, two blade-lights were nurtured, spitting out endless radiance.
"Slash!"
Hu Lifu gritted his teeth and glared at Dugu Xin. "So what if you are a Peak Creation expert? Behind me is a military formation condensed by five hundred thousand soldiers."
The five hundred thousand Primeval Fierce Ox soldiers simultaneously swung their battle axes. Instantly, a sea of blood churned, and the Primeval Fierce Ox's great horns pointed directly at Dugu Xin.
"Hmph!"
Dugu Xin gripped his spear, his eyes filled with contempt. "A mere demonic beast, daring to compare itself to a Qiongqi?"
He thrust his spear forward violently. Centered on the spear's aura, within a hundred zhang, everything seemed to freeze. Even the dust and blood mist drifting in the void stopped moving!
"Boom!"
A sonic boom erupted in front of Dugu Xin. Layers of transparent, wave-like ripples churned before the spear's aura. With a roar, the Qiongqi behind Dugu Xin turned its head, its eyes glowing red. It looked at the two blade-lights ahead, revealing its sharp fangs. Spreading its wings, it charged towards the Primeval Fierce Ox, accompanied by the flashing spear aura.
"Boom!"
In an instant, a thunderous explosion occurred. A blue light wave swept across the heavens and earth. The clouds in the void split apart, and on the ground, a chasm tens of zhang long cracked open. The Primeval Fierce Ox's massive horns shattered.
The ten-thousand-foot sea of blood behind it gradually thinned and dissipated.
"Pfft!"
Hu Lifu's body was blasted back hundreds of zhang, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Even the fifty thousand soldiers turned pale, their elemental energy falling to less than half of its peak.
"What kind of military formation beast did that human condense?"
Hu Lifu's eyes bulged, his face filled with terror. He reached for his battle axe and stood up with difficulty.
"Shoot!"
Lu Junyi, standing beside Fu Hao, issued the order. The two hundred thousand soldiers behind them drew their bows and nocked their arrows. This was a plan arranged by Xun An earlier. Hua Mulan led the cavalry, while Fu Hao led the infantry, equipped with powerful bows and crossbows.
"Rumble~~"
"Whoosh... whoosh..."
"Swish swish swish~~"
Sixty thousand arrows, shot almost simultaneously, burst forth. Even the residual blood mist, which was gradually dissipating, was now shattered by the soaring arrow rain.
With ten thousand arrows flying in unison, the sky instantly darkened. Small Qiongqi appeared, baring their fangs, sharp as swords, with sharp arrows held between them. Accompanied by yellow elemental energy protective shields, they pierced directly through.
"Defend quickly!"
The Primeval Fierce Ox soldiers, though their morale had been low after the previous attack, showed little panic in the face of the sudden, sky-obscuring arrow rain.
They raised their battle axes, intending to block the dense barrage of arrows!
"Swish~~"
"Pfft!!"
In an instant, thousands of Primeval Fierce Ox soldiers fell unwillingly. Their battle axes shattered, and their thick bodies were pierced by the arrows, striking them fatally.
"Dodge quickly!"
"That's no ordinary arrow rain! This human race truly possesses great skill, to be able to divide a military formation into so many countless arrows!"
"Dodge quickly!"
Hu Lifu roared with all his might, slashing his axe through the void, directly blocking countless arrows. His body trembled, and he quickly hid the arm holding the battle axe behind him. Blood began to flow from it.
Hu Lifu couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. The sheer number of dense arrows was incredible. In just that one blow, he had blocked about a thousand zhang of arrows, causing him considerable injury.
Even he, a dignified fifth-layer Creation expert, suffered this much, let alone the soldiers at the peak of the Yuan Gathering Realm.
As the first wave of soldiers died, the dense arrow rain caused all the soldiers to panic. An extremely strong aura of death, accompanying the arrow rain, enveloped them instantly.
It was suffocating, filling them with despair, leaving them unable to even breathe!
"Dodge quickly!"
"No!"
