Chapter 716: Chapter 545: Cannot Retreat, Must Eradicate These Demons and Monsters_2

Because even the powerful Divine Demons fell under their assault.

Because of his training in war tactics, even if his heart had expanded, he still did not rashly charge into Shouchun City.

If Yu Jin wished, thirty thousand Tiger Guard Army could carve out a path into Shouchun City in just a moment, but Yu Jin did not know how many Demons and Monsters were inside the city, so he dared not act rashly.

He only dared to slowly whittle down the strength of the Demons and Monsters from the edges; although the Demons and Monsters did not tire, their numbers were ultimately limited, and the Tiger Guard Army’s speed of clearing them far exceeded their physical recovery.

One could say that if the situation remained as is, the Tiger Guard Army could completely kill all the Demons and Monsters present in less than an Hour.

But that was an ideal state, and Yu Jin also knew it was unlikely to happen; just now, while killing Demons and Monsters, Yu Jin suddenly thought of a problem.

How did Wang Yang know so much about the Demons and Monsters? Could it be that Wang Yang had been prepared all along, bringing along the Qingzhou troops for this very purpose?

Yu Jin speculated silently, but without concrete evidence, he did not dare to confirm his suspicions, after all, he had already misunderstood Wang Yang once just a short while ago.

If there were to be a second time, it might inevitably lead to displeasure between them.

...

In Shouchun City.

"What!"

Such a situation was beyond Li Feng’s expectations; the Yu Jin before his eyes was slaughtering mightily among the Demons and Monsters, and the thirty thousand Tiger Guards Army moved like locusts through a field.

As the first person in this world who underwent complete Demonization, he understood the huge difference between flawed products and one such as himself who was fully demonized.

The former’s strength was almost weakened to an extreme point, while the latter’s power was not only elevated to a height beyond the reach of ordinary people but also possessed the power to command the army of Demons and Monsters.

Li Feng’s Imperial Jade Seal in his hand had turned as black as thick ink by now, and if one looked closely, they might notice a Black Dragon surging within.

And this Black Dragon was no benign being; its ferocious appearance and momentum that seemed to overturn heaven and earth all made one think of another person.

As Li Feng caressed the Imperial Jade Seal, the black Qi on his hands grew even denser. Seeing the numbers of Demons and Monsters below dwindling, Li Feng was not yet anxious; these Demons and Monsters were merely cannon fodder after all.

One might even say they were not worthy of being called cannon fodder; unbeknownst to all, the Lands where the Demons and Monsters had died had completely turned to scorched earth.

If someone were willing to dig up the ground, they would discover that the earth had turned into a dark black color.

Yu Jin, mounted on his horse, had not noticed this detail, the Sword Qi from his Three-pointed Double-edged Blade growing increasingly fierce, and the dense crowd of Demons and Monsters in front of him now seemed inconsequential.

"These Demons and Monsters might look intimidating in number, but they can’t withstand a single blow," Yu Jin thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Wang Yang, who had fallen back, saw things differently; in his eyes, the ash the Demons and Monsters’ bodies had transformed into was still invading the Square World at an alarmingly fast pace.

But Wang Yang, who lacked the means to remove Demonic Qi, could see the ash in the air but was helpless against it, after all, he had no way to stop the invasion of the Demonic Qi.

Even if Wang Yang had the means to remove Demonic Qi, it would only be a temporary fix, not a cure. The best course of action would be to charged into Shouchun City and completely eradicate the source of the Demonic Qi within, to achieve a lasting solution.

"General Yu Jin, look... look at the sky quickly!"

Some of the Tiger Guard Army soldiers held their long spears somewhat wearily, twisting their wrists as their glances inadvertently caught the terrifying scene above.

After the demonized ashes of the demons and monsters on the ground dispersed, they no longer scattered in all directions, while Li Feng sat firmly on the Dragon Throne in the court of Shouchun City.

His hands caressed the Imperial Jade Seal, dark as ink; to Li Feng, the Imperial Jade Seal was no longer merely a token but had become akin to a powerful Spiritual Treasure.

With the Imperial Jade Seal, Li Feng felt he could control all demons and monsters, including the scattered ashes at his command.

The sight that terrified the Tiger Guards soldier was an eye, conjured by Li Feng using the ashes of the demons and monsters on the ground. The eye, comprised only of the eyeball, hung alone beneath the dark clouds.

Wang Yang had noticed it, too, and tension gripped his heart. Although the eyeball in the sky had not shown its lethality, Wang Yang believed that such an eye was certainly not as simple as it seemed.

Wang Yang struggled to stand up. In just a short while, his physical strength had recovered, and the aura of the Saint within him continued to strengthen his body.

"Hahahahaha, indeed, heaven aids me!"

Li Feng laughed loudly in the court. Through the colossal eye in the sky, he could see the outside of Shouchun City, and Li Feng was no stickler for tradition.

He quickly figured out the use of the Imperial Jade Seal. Being able to condense into an eyeball, and with his consciousness able to enter it, provided him with considerable convenience.

Moreover, the Imperial Jade Seal did not stipulate it must condense into anything specific, and Li Feng swiftly developed a plan; the Imperial Jade Seal could directly solve most of his worries.

Wang Yang, now fully armored, wore a sword at his waist—said to be Yu Jin’s personal blade. Although Yu Jin did not often wield swordsmanship, it was common for a general to carry a sword.

Yu Jin’s sword was more slender and heavier than Wang Yang’s standard longsword. Wang Yang held his longsword in front of him, its faint light casting a chilling reflection that made one’s spine cold.

Based on his experience, Wang Yang could tell that this sword was not a mere decoration, that it outclassed most swords in resilience, and although slightly longer than his usual one, it did not impede his usage...

With his thorough control over his body, Wang Yang would soon master swordsmanship, but the giant eye in the sky would not afford him any respite.

"What is that thing!"

Yu Jin wielded his Three-pointed Double-edged Blade with sweeping slashes, turning several demons and monsters into ashes. The ashes, which should have disbursed, were now gathering towards the giant eye in the sky.

The eyeball in the sky, as large as two or three men, kept growing as the ashes expanded its size, with meridians beginning to form on its surface.

These meridians spread into the Void, and Wang Yang watched the eye in the sky with a grave expression, suspecting that once fully formed, the process would likely be irreversible.

Since these demons and monsters would soon vanish anyway, expanding the scorched lands, better to confront them here rather than let the demon armies carve out their territories, Wang Yang preferred to resolve the issue immediately.

Fortunately, whether because the demons and monsters were too weak or because of Wang Yang, Yu Jin hadn’t rushed to report back to Cao Cao. Presumably, Yu Jin had assessed the strength of the demons and monsters.

He believed he could cut his way straight into Shouchun City and take Yuanshu’s head, but the situation had developed beyond Yu Jin’s expectations, with thirty thousand Tiger Guard Army now surrounded by demon forces.

Many of the Tiger Guard Army soldiers, influenced by the eye in the sky, found their speed in slaying demons and monsters greatly reduced, and even Yu Jin was not immune, as the eye threw him into disarray.

However, the thirty thousand Tiger Guard Army soldiers couldn’t afford Yu Jin’s confusion, but now Yu Jin contemplated whether to retreat.

"We cannot retreat. If we do, the territory of the demons and monsters will only expand. Soon the whole world would fall into chaos. By that time, it will be too late!"

Wang Yang stepped forward and spoke, and his words bore no falsehood. Yu Jin hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to trust Wang Yang.

After all, Wang Yang had arrived here first and was surely more familiar with the situation.
