Chapter 1221: Chapter 1241: Scout Team? Push It Right in Front!_1

On his way, Lin Chen had been pondering how to fend off the demon army and save Xingyuan City, or even more cities.

Resisting head-on was definitely not an option.

Firstly, it was too passive; secondly, these cities’ defensive capabilities were too poor to repel the demon army. Given that their numbers were few, it was very possible to become too preoccupied with one problem and overlook others.

Gao Yi’s proposition gave Lin Chen a substantial reminder.

If they couldn’t defend, then no more defending!

Initiate the attack!

Before the demon army advanced, they could preemptively strike, scaring them off.

He had two immortal slaves by his side, one immortal, and one Ghost Tower capable of suppressing the manifestation of an immortal. What was there to be afraid of?

If the opponent had an immortal sustaining, it wouldn’t matter. If they couldn’t win, they would just run.

As long as his speed was good enough, no one could catch up with him. He could strike wherever he wanted!

Perhaps they couldn’t beat back the demon army, but they could definitely cause great delays for the demon army, preventing them from advancing smoothly, and buy more time for the cities and cultivators in the rear.

No matter the outcome, as long as he did his best, he would have no regrets!

Gao Yi laughed and said, "If you’re fighting a guerrilla war, it’s perfect. You can reduce the land to inches, giving you unparalleled speed. Basically, no one can stop you, unless they can isolate heaven and earth or lure you into an array. No one can stop you."

"You also have the Wind-Banner. During a surprise attack, you can hide everyone in the Wind-Banner. When you’ve struck the right place, you can throw out a large bunch of people. Who can resist that? It’s killing whoever opposes, whether they be human or a divine spirit."

"Even if they have a large army, after we launch a surprise attack, we can immediately turn around and run. As long as we ensure our freedom to come and go, not being trapped or pursued, we’ll have an invincible position."

Thinking about it, Lin Chen realized this was indeed the case. He had the Great Displacement Order now. Even if he got caught in an array, he could still fight it out.

Just give him a small opportunity, and he could escape to the heavens!

"Time is critical, decide on the personnel."

Lin Chen chuckled. "For now, just the two of you, me, and them. Stronger people can join later and the weaker ones shall remain. After all, even in a surprise attack, there is no deceit in a battle between powerhouses."

When a cultivator’s strength reaches a certain realm, there is basically no such thing as a sneak attack. If a Transforming God stage attacked a Void stage, it would essentially be a suicide mission.

Even within the Void stage, a sneak attack from Early Stage of Void on Late Void Separation or Great Perfection would essentially be a suicide mission. The gap in realms is overwhelming.

There are not many people in the world like Lin Chen, Qiao Wei, Zhao Feiyu, Nalan Wushuang who can fight above their level.

Gao Yi promptly said, "All right, you’re the boss."

Lin Chen asked, "Where is the demon army now?"

Gao Yi answered, "It is still half a day’s flight away from here. There are a few cities in front, but they definitely won’t be able to stop it."

Lin Chen nodded, "Well, we’ll initiate the attack, no matter what, we have to suppress the demons’ vigour."

"Great!"

...

Half a day later, Lin Chen and the five of them appeared in the northern territory. In the wasteland before them, various types of demonic beasts had gathered.

"Yuan Ji, go and inquire about this army’s background. Who’s leading it, how many powerhouses they have, if there are any Great Witches, or immortals...."

"Okay!"

As the Black Jiao King, Yuan Ji only had to release his aura, and his demon energy would surge. Entering the demon army to collect some information was no difficulty at all.

As easy as going home for dinner!

Very soon, Yuan Ji returned, reporting, "This army is but a vanguard force, led by the Black Rhino Demon. It harbours about ten Great Demons, with an uncatalogued number of lower-ranked ones."

"A vanguard force?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Since it’s a vanguard force, let’s annihilate them. We have to make this show of force stylish."

Yuan Ji said, "Master, I alone am enough to annihilate them!"

Lin Chen nodded, "In that case, let’s advance head-on!"

Both Yelü Yuan and Gao Yi jumped in shock, "It’s five against ten of them. That’s twice our number, and they have such a vast army of demons. Can we actually advance head-on?"

Lin Chen pointed at Si Defa and Yuan Ji, "With these two, we won’t have any problems."

Yelü Yuan and Gao Yi exchanged glances, both somewhat puzzled.

Before, Lin Chen was alone. After wandering out for such a long time, he suddenly had two servants who seemed quite powerful. How did he recruit them?

Did he introduce himself as the Human Emperor, and they pledged allegiance right away?

While they hesitated, Lin Chen had already flown towards the demon army, and the two hurried to keep up.

On the wasteland, countless demons were resting, and some low-level demonic beasts were even fighting amongst themselves.

The sudden appearance of Lin Chen and the rest immediately caught the attention of all the demons. All of them looked at Lin Chen and the rest with curious eyes.

Were these five people here to court death?
