514: Chapter 181: Three People Form a Formation!_2 514: Chapter 181: Three People Form a Formation!_2 ——He felt that the concealment formation was more useful than the protective array in this place.

After finishing these tasks, Li Ping’an sat behind a piece of bluestone, his left hand holding the Subdue Mountain Seal and his right grasping the Spirit Banner, ready to use the Shape-Shifting Technique and the Five Luo Light Smoke Secret at a moment’s notice, seizing the time to regulate his breathing and recover his combat strength.

“You’re not an ordinary True Immortal, are you?”

Fu Yu suddenly asked as he took out a flask of wine and poured a mouthful down his throat while sitting in meditation.

Li Ping’an turned to look at the Centurion, performed a cupped-hand salute, and recalled what the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan had once said.

He replied with a slow voice, “Under your command, I am just an ordinary True Immortal.”

“Thanks to you…

How is it over there?”

“Broken Dawn City?”

“Yes, my Primordial Spirit is now exhausted, and I can’t extend my immortal consciousness any further.”

“Centurion, just focus on healing,” Li Ping’an said, “Reinforcements should arrive very soon.”

“They won’t,” Fu Yu replied with a grave shake of his head, “This time is different.

The last time I saw the ‘Soul Devouring Spell’ was thousands of years ago when I was still an Immortal Soldier.

Back then, they were attacking our two fortresses…

The scale is too large this time.”

Li Ping’an sighed, “The Demon Race has brought back a million Demon Soldiers from beyond the heavens.

There are Three Thousand Worlds out there, countless minor heavens and earths.”

Fu Yu was taken aback for a moment, then slowly nodded in agreement.

“No wonder the Demon Race has been suppressed by us until now.

It’s strange that they would directly attack this time.”

Rumble——

A tremor came from the direction of Broken Dawn City.

The dozen or so Immortal Soldiers were invigorated, turning their heads to look over there.

Fu Yu, leaning on a long saber with several new cracks, struggled to his feet, turning to look towards Broken Dawn City.

Over there, a column of black smoke billowed into the sky; it was impossible to discern the shadows of countless demon figures, as a large number of demons gathered in the northwest corner, and the strengthened city’s Protective Array trembled continuously.

“The formation has broken.”

Fu Yu furrowed his brows tightly, about to step forward, but then staggered on the spot.

Li Ping’an quickly said, “Centurion Fu!

You have done your best; there’s no need for you to go!”

“Dammit!”

Fu Yu turned a furious glare at him, his eyes full of bloodshot rage as if about to spew fire:

“I am a soldier of the Human Race!

I can die standing, but I cannot live in cowardice!

There are countless commoners in that city!”

Yet Li Ping’an said, “This body no longer has the strength to fight; what good would going there do?”

“As long as the Primordial Spirit exists, I can fight!

While the long saber is here, I can fight!”

Fu Yu’s words rang out with conviction, suddenly taking a deep breath, forcibly raising his energy a notch.

The aura of a True Immortal from the Dao Realm reemerged!

Li Ping’an’s arm trembled.

This man had severed his potential for future breakthroughs, burning his own lifespan and forcibly squeezing out a surge of vitality.

The dozen Immortal Soldiers slowly got to their feet, the little immortal power they had just regained swirling around them.

Each swallowed a handful of Elixir Pills and applied talismans to themselves.

Li Ping’an silently watched them.

“Form up, the hundred-man formation!”

Fu Yu pointed forward with his long saber.

Two Centurions moved to stand behind him;

The dozen Immortal Soldiers took their positions, standing beside the three of them.

The White Crane Formation.

Except this White Crane appeared rather small and fragile as if it would dissipate with a gust of wind.

Suddenly, Li Ping’an’s figure appeared before the crowd, and he said with a serious tone, “With the Xuanyuan Sword Command here, please continue to heal, while I go to the frontline to aid!”

Fu Yu was clearly stunned for a moment before he looked up to examine Li Ping’an’s face.

“You are…”

“Second-rank Inspector, Li Ping’an.”

“Ah, it is you!

I have heard of you.

You’re a Great Enlightenment almost True Immortal.

Aren’t you still not a True Immortal?”

Fu Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice,

“Return to the formation.

If you have any strength left, we will cover you.”

Li Ping’an frowned, “Xuanyuan Sword Command!”

“Dead men need not look at royal orders.

I have decided to fight until my last breath.”

Fu Yu’s gaze was somewhat compelling:

“If you are still my soldier, return to the formation immediately…

you may leave now as well, as you have not yet become an immortal, and by rights, you should not be here.”

“Gentlemen!”

Li Ping’an spoke firmly,

“Is it not possible to leave this body behind, achieve a higher Dao Realm, and then fight the great war with the Demon Race?

You have done your best, and to have survived a sneak attack by a Golden Immortal is already…”

“Alright, youngster, come preach to us again if we make it back alive.”

Fu Yu smiled, walked slowly forward, and passed by Li Ping’an, patting his arm as he did.

“I want to go, just because.

It’s that simple; there’s no reason.”

“You can ask them, whoever wants to stay behind and heal, feel free to stay.”

“My mentor once told me, if the Human Race all thought about hiding and achieving greatness before fighting the Demon Race to the death, the Human Race would have perished long ago.”

A Centurion walked by his side and patted his shoulder.

“There are too many mortals over there.

If it were a few hundred or even just dozens, I wouldn’t go.

Who isn’t afraid of death?

My injuries aren’t light.”

“Thank you for the Elixir Pills, Inspector.”

Some celestial soldiers laughed as they followed their Centurion’s example and patted Li Ping’an’s arm.

“Inspector, you did well killing those corrupt officials!”

“Inspector, can you really gain enlightenment just by rubbing against you?”

“Thank you for the healing.”

“We’re just going to add some strength to the outskirts.

It’s not like we’re certain to die in battle, and there are many brothers in arms over there.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you.”

More than ten celestial soldiers walked past him, and Li Ping’an looked slightly upwards, watching the wisp of black smoke drifting across the sky.

His robe bore multiple handprints, some with traces of blood, others with dust.

“Form up, a hundred men!”

Fu Yu called out.

“Yes!”

The ten-plus celestial soldiers repositioned themselves, and the White Crane Formation appeared again.

Just then, a continuous stream of mana poured into the formation, and everyone turned around to see Li Ping’an, who was standing calmly at the back.

Fu Yu frowned slightly, “Inspector, there’s no need to take the risk…”

“I am Xiong Er.”

Fu Yu was speechless for a moment before he threw his wine gourd over, took a deep breath, raised his long saber, and charged forward.
