Chapter 253
253 The arrival of the Demon King
From the letter that he deciphered, Lu Qing clearly saw the person who had requested the three brothers to defend the city for half a year. The heavenly spirit blood eagle was their father.
This was indeed the case. The only thing that could make these three guys resist to the end without caring about their lives was the direct connection between their bloodlines outside the power of the demon race.
The heavenly spirit blood eagle, Yin Liang, was a peak level-four Great Demon King. According to the information that Lu Qing had received, this Great Demon King should have been fighting with Jin country on the Western battlefield of the northern wilderness forest.
If it was just this guy, he didn’t have to worry too much.
Coming to the East with Yin Liang was ‘White Night beard’ lang Xi. This person’s strength was on par with Yin Liang’s.
Two peak Tier 4 mayflies were a little scary.
In the letter, Yin Liang told Eagle Valley to hold on for half a year to hold the North troops back. As for him and lang Yun, they should have withdrawn from the Western battlefield half a month ago. They should have led an elite demon Army and rushed over at full speed to join the local demon forces in the East. They would be the first to defeat the human cultivator Army and try their best to kill the Golden core cultivators among the human cultivators.
With two peak type 4 experts working together, if they targeted the North troops, it would be over.
Even if Lu Qing was resurrected, with his strength at the seventh-level golden core realm, even if he had two powerful magical powers, a divine-grade cultivation technique, and a top-tier talent like the sacred body of the stars, he should be able to fight against a peak fourth-level cultivator who was two levels higher. However, it would be too difficult for him to face two at the same time.
As for Li Yanling, she was now at the second-stage golden core realm. Facing a peak-stage level-four Demon King, she had almost no ability to resist and couldn’t help much.
However, the subsequent contents of the letter made Lu Qing heave a sigh of relief.
Although the two monster Kings, Yin Liang and lang Luan, didn’t say it clearly, the so-called ‘striking the strongest first’ should be referring to Kong Tong.
This point was quite easy to understand.
In short, they had a sudden advantage. Under the situation where the humans didn’t know that two demon kings were about to arrive, it was indeed a better strategy to kill Kong Tong, the strongest human, and eliminate the strongest Western Army. Then, the two demon kings would join forces and take care of the two relatively weaker human cultivator legions in the North.
Moreover, after Kong Tong’s death, hai Sande was only at the sixth-stage golden core realm, not even the late-stage golden core realm. Li Yanling was only at the early-stage golden core realm, so the two demon kings didn’t take her seriously at all.
After the heavy feeling he felt at the beginning had passed, Lu Qing began to think of a strategy.
Looking at it this way, the north side should be safe for the time being. After all, if the two demon kings were to fight Kong Tong, they would be quite far away.
Should they retreat?
Lu Qing could not bear to do so.
If he picked up the pace, Eagle Valley would probably be completely taken down in half a month. Three tier 3 Eagle monsters were a huge fortune in itself. In particular, the second brother’s level three peak demonic core could be used by human cultivators to refine an external elixir. Although this kind of external elixir was far inferior to the real golden elixir, it could still help initial enlightenment cultivators to break through to the Golden core stage.
At the same time, after killing them, the feathers of the divine Eagle that were stripped from their bodies could be used to refine magic tools. That would be the best.
After clearing the Eagle Valley completely, the various materials and resources collected from this place would probably add up to more than 200000.
They had spent so much time and energy in the previous siege, but wasn’t it all for this moment?
Even Lu Qing could not bear to give up the spoils of war that were within his reach.
After confirming that they weren’t the target of the incoming Monster King, it shouldn’t be a problem to take down Eagle Valley in half a month.
The crucial problem was the Western Army.
Should I tell Kong Tong about this?
Lu Qing was thinking about this matter.
After saying that, Kong Tong immediately retreated or headed north to meet up with hai Sande and Li Yanling. With the strength of the three of them, they could find a place that was advantageous for defense and set up a formation. It might not be impossible for them to fight against the two monster Kings.
That way, Kong Tong would be able to live.
However, did Lu Qing want him to live?
Actually, he didn’t want to.
However, if they did not say anything and just watched Kong Tong die, then the Lu family would have one less enemy in the Feiyun state. But what about now? After the collapse of the West Army, the two demon kings would definitely keep an eye on the Army and the sea Army.
They could also take advantage of the time when the West Army was being beaten up to leave the North barren forest.
However, the enemy would definitely come after them.
The demon tribe of the North barren forest was fighting against the main force of the Jin army in the West. They didn’t have an advantage in the war and were in a tight spot. Even so, they still managed to send two big demon kings. On the one hand, they were really disgusted by the invasion of the cultivators of the Feiyun state of the Yan Kingdom. On the other hand, they probably wanted to end the war in the east so that they could deal with the increasingly powerful attack of Jin.
If the north and west troops ran away, the two demon kings would probably chase after them. It was impossible for them to attack the Qingfeng sect directly, but it was normal for them to wreak havoc in the Feiyun state and try to destroy their war potential.
And if they chased after him, the first thing that Tao Wu would bear the brunt of would be Yuyan mountain.
“If you think about it this way, that old geezer Kong Tong can still be saved, hehe. However, there are other ways.”
Lu Qing had some ideas.
He still had to save Kong Tong, but how to do it was a matter of knowledge.
The ending that Lu Qing wanted the most was nothing more than the death of Kong Tong and the two daemon Kings. Then, the troops of the Feiyun state would retreat. That would be the most perfect ending. As for hai Sande, it did not matter. It would be a pity if he died, but it would be best if he was alive. His survival would be beneficial for the Lu clan to develop and grow in the Feiyun state. After all, with Lu Qing’s strength, hai Sande would not have an easy time.
But even so, if he really wanted to do it, he would need to plan and a lot of luck. It was a situation that could only be encountered by luck.
However, to Lu Qing, he could try his best to push the situation in the direction he hoped for. As for what the final result would be, he would do his best and leave it to fate.
At the moment, the Lu family’s actions towards the Eagle Valley would not stop. Instead, they had to speed up.
For this, it was inevitable to make more sacrifices.
The Lu clan’s group became the vanguards. Under the leadership of Lu chaoxi, Lu Chaohe, and Lu mingchao, they attacked the areas that the demons were stubbornly defending. They were like a hot knife through butter. Furthermore, there were many foundation building cultivators and three Qiming’s protection. There were basically no casualties. The strategy that they used was for Chaohe or chaoxi to use the strength of the initial enlightenment stage to blast a gap first. Then, several foundation building cultivators would lead the cloud cavalry to charge in and break the enemy formation. More than 70 cultivators of the Lu clan would follow closely behind.
The cultivators of the Lu clan were all in the middle to late stages of the Qi refining realm. Their equipment was even more top-notch. The official first layer flux star sword and star suppression shield were the best among the first layer magical treasures. Other than that, the cultivators of the Lu clan were quite rich. The clan usually allocated a lot of resources to them. If they did some extra tasks or accepted assignments for the clan, they could also earn clan merits. Sometimes, he could also earn some extra money by doing some things. As a result, in addition to the two magic tools given by the clan, they would usually carry some magic tools that they had bought with their own money, as well as some emergency pills.
With these items, the Lu clan’s cultivators ‘combat abilities would be even stronger than the cultivators from the sects.
After all, most of the people in the sect group were outer sect disciples. They were not as rich as the Lu clan’s direct descendants. In fact, their cultivation levels might not even be able to keep up.
The Lu family was no longer the same as when the White ghouls had gone south. This was not only reflected in the number of high-level cultivators.
If they broke one, they would take it down and leave the rest to the other teams.
Usually, it would be the sect or family groups that would take over. They would plow the areas that the Lu family had taken down again. They did not want to be completely clean, but at least they would get rid of some of the tough bones and then move on to the next battlefield.
At this step, there would be a certain loss.
The cannon fodder group would take over the remaining small fries. Although the intensity of the battle they faced was the lowest, their average strength was also the worst. Furthermore, there were often no foundation building cultivators leading the team, so their losses would be greater.
After another half a month of fighting, Eagle Valley was basically cleaned up except for the core area.
On the human side, there were only two hundred casualties, with the cannon fodder group taking up the majority. One of the cannon fodder groups had already been disbanded. The loss of this group had reached more than 30%. The remaining 70% had been scattered and replenished to other groups. In addition, the sect group and aristocratic family group had also lost more than forty people.
Although the Lu clan had always been tasked with the task of attacking the fortifications and had fought very hard, they did not have to engage in the most brutal close combat with the demons because they were led by high-level cultivators. They only needed to break through the enemy and cause as much damage as possible in the group battle. As a result, their losses were relatively the least. Six of them were either dead or seriously injured, unable to be treated.
After paying such a price, they had finally cleaned up most of Eagle Valley in half a month’s time.
There were only two or three spots left.
The three Condor brothers also realized that they couldn’t be afraid anymore. They had already held on to the last moment. Although they were still more than a month away from the monster Kings ‘request of holding on for half a year, they could not hold on for the remaining one and a half months. It would be the same even if the three of them stayed.
They were planning to break out of the encirclement.
The three of them were quite smart. They knew not to rush in and planned to attract attention before retreating. The plan and route had already been arranged.
However, all of this was meaningless under Lu Qing’s eavesdropping.
Hence, a set of plans to beat him at his own game was directly arranged.
……
Yin ping, Yin ban, and Yin mu were the three brothers ‘names.
At this moment, the three of them were waiting in the shadow of a demon race building.
“Our fake bodies have gone out,” Yin ban suddenly said.
“Were we tricked?”
“I’m not sure,” Yin ban said, ” only three Qiming’s came out to chase them. Li Yanling and the other two didn’t show up.
“Do you want to wait?”
“I can’t wait anymore. No matter what, I can’t wait anymore.”
Hearing this, the third brother, Yin mu, immediately activated the only formation left in Eagle Valley, the no-fly formation, and canceled the effect of the formation.
This formation didn’t distinguish between friend and foe, so no one could fly.
Under such circumstances, it was clearly more useful for the defensive side.
But now, they were about to break out of the encirclement. The three brothers “greatest strength was their flying speed. Previously, he had no idea what to do. Now that he was preparing to escape, he definitely couldn’t trap himself in a cocoon.
As soon as the anti-air effect was removed, the three brothers immediately transformed from half-human and half-eagle bodies into three real divine Eagles. The feathers of the three brothers were mostly grayish-red in color, with only a few slight differences. Its wingspan was at least 50 feet wide!
The three brothers flapped their wings at the same time and immediately stirred up a gust of wind. The three of them instantly accelerated to a rapid speed, rushing into the sky and flying northeast.
This was the direction they had discussed earlier.
Earlier, the so-called fake body had been heading Northwest. What they wanted to see the most was Li Yanling intercepting their fake bodies, but she did not. Only three initial enlightenment cultivators appeared.
But it was good enough to attract three.
They couldn’t have been so naive.
if Li Yanling really chased after him, then that was within his expectations.
Although it was very dangerous, there was nothing they could do other than try their best to see if the human cultivator who had just entered the Golden core stage could catch up with them.
In fact, they had even discussed with each other that if Li Yanling really caught up to them, and was a real threat to them, they would try not to get entangled in a fight, and would run separately. Li Yanling could only chase one person at most, and after the distance between them had increased, it would be very difficult for her to catch up again, even if she was a golden core cultivator.
However, never in their dreams would they have thought that not long after they flew out, a Cloud Dragon would suddenly form in front of them and smash towards them!
The three demons reacted extremely quickly and immediately dodged.
They dodged the cloud Dragon, but the cloud Dragon also exploded. Large clouds of white mist scattered them. Yin ping, who was the weakest among them, even felt his blood surge.
However, regardless of whether it was the injured Yin ping or the other two completely fine Yin ban and Yin mu, all of their minds were blank at this moment.
How did they know we were going to escape from here?
Was he a prophet?
They had never thought that Li Yanling would not chase them at all. She had directly blocked their escape route and waited for them to get close before she ambushed them.
However, this was only the beginning of the crisis. Li Yanling and the two initial enlightenment cultivators were already charging toward the three demons!
