Chapter 109: Battle of Magic (II)

A treasured banner was erected, and dark clouds gathered all around.

Li Qi was racking his brain nearby, comforting the old horse while thinking about what to do, analyzing what cards he had to play, what dangers he faced, and how to implement his plans.

Yes, he hadn't given up yet.

Although the two terrifying beings in front of him could easily kill him with a mere twitch, he still hadn't given up.

Li Qi was never one to resign himself to fate; even when he was a Lifter, he had desperately tried to climb upwards, never giving up on self-study or training.

Just as Li Qi was racking his brain, trying to do even the most insignificant little things, he suddenly heard a sound again.

A very loud sound.

It was like…

It was like an army?

Countless shouts and battle cries swept over.

The old horse restlessly pawed the ground, nudged Li Qi, and nervously bit his clothes, pulling him towards the cliff.

Li Qi climbed high and looked far, focusing his Qi to enhance his eyesight, only to see an army a hundred miles away!

It was not a human army, but an army composed of demons!

Countless small demons, most of them un-transformed, basically in the shape of wild beasts, but each one looked human-like, wearing ill-fitting armor, without weapons, basically relying only on claws and teeth for attack.

Occasionally, there were some small demons who looked like officers; they were all transformed, clearly all Ninth-Rank, holding weapons, surrounded by Divine Abilities, leading the troops forward.

Ten to twenty thousand small demons, among them about a thousand Ninth-Rank transformed demons, and dozens of other Eighth-Rank demons, summoning wind and rain, driving evil shadows, causing gusts of demonic wind in that area; tens of thousands of demons gathered together, with black Qi like stars, covering the sky and sun, and an unbearable stench!

Then, the black wind above this Demonic Army gathered, rolling and transforming into another Dharma Body!

This Dharma Body was also a hundred zhang tall, with a bear's head and a human body, red Qi in its eyes, yellow Qi swirling around it, black Qi like flying birds, and reddish-black Qi like the mottled fur of a civet cat covering its armor.

He took a step forward, followed by two Seventh-Rank Vice Generals, with Battle Qi swirling around him, white above and red below, gathering like towering clouds, the clouds resembling countless human heads, with a chilling Aura of blood, as if death and bloodshed were flowing, yet one could also feel the arrival of mist and dead wind, the sun without light, like a magnificent pheasant approaching a city, its Aura mighty and imposing!

Li Qi's face turned pale at this scene.

He didn't understand anything else, but such an intense Qi perfectly matched the records in the Book of Blessings!

He understood this much: what was before him was clearly ominous military Qi. Just by looking at the scene of the moon eclipsing and filling the stars, the winding serpentine shapes, the rebellious and lawless killing, and the sunlight scattering like flowing blood, there was no doubt that it was an 'imbalance of Yin and Yang Qi due to discord with the four seasons and chaotic intermingling'.

This newly appeared demon actually disturbed the surrounding weather with his own military Qi!

Unfortunately, Li Qi's shock was useless.

The bear-headed, human-bodied Dharma Body, formed by ominous military Qi, took two steps and stood facing the other two Dharma Bodies from three sides, then opened its mouth and laughed: "Haha! Don't say you're just a mere essence of Yang Ning; even if you were a wisp of Empress Luofu's true remnant soul, you would still perish before us, the 'Two Kings of White Snake Mountain'!

"This White Snake Mountain, for ten thousand li around, is ruled by my two brothers and me. Even that Prefectural Shaman can only close his city gates and not venture out. If you don't obediently tell us Empress Luofu's whereabouts, then prepare to suffer my brothers' curses!"

The bear-headed, human-bodied demon said so, and the other Sky-Covering Evil Shadow echoed: "I am the 'Curse Demon Great King', and he is the 'Bear Kill Great King'. Together, we can fight even a Fifth-Rank, and even at your peak, you were only Fifth-Rank, let alone now that you are severely wounded?"

"Still, obediently hand over the clues to Empress Luofu, and you might still have a chance at survival!" the Curse Demon Great King said grimly.

The Bear Kill Great King no longer spoke, but instead stomped his foot, and the tens of thousands of demon soldiers immediately straightened up, forming ranks and advancing. Their military bearing was solemn and orderly, clearly a battle-hardened elite army, not some disorganized rabble!

However, the female phantom moved.

It was unclear whether it was Empress Luofu or Yang Ning controlling this Dharma Body, but the Dharma Body extended its hand again and issued a command in a soft voice: "You seek death!"

Although the voice was very soft, it was like a clap of thunder!

"Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, Thunderous Fierce Officials, Eight Trigram Generals, Five Thunder Elite Soldiers, heed my command! Appear!"

With a command, an army directly materialized.

An army made of light unfolded, with golden scales on their armor, their long spears invincible, their great shields sturdy and thick, and their warhorses strong and powerful.

The army was filled with Killing Intent, countless soldiers, holding weapons, wearing armor, displaying ferocity and power, waving banners and beating drums, their Battle Intent surging.

Their military bearing was majestic; each Heavenly Soldier had a broad face and heavy jowls, a powerful belly and a wolf-like waist, wearing golden armor, wielding eighteen types of weapons, hard bows and crossbows, silver spears and golden swords, halberds, and tiger-eye whips, standing at the back, forming their own formations.

Then, Heavenly Generals appeared, first a rolling great wind, then purple mist surging, each Divine General towering tens of meters tall, moving through the air, full of vigor, with divine light suddenly appearing on their bodies, shining clearly, shooting towards the Big Dipper!

Those Heavenly Generals had broad foreheads and wide faces, tiger bodies and bear waists, holding halberds and whips, standing at the very front, majestic and awe-inspiring, with golden-scaled, red-whiskered long Dragons swirling around their bodies, and colorful feathered Phoenixes stepping beneath their feet, causing gusts of wind and thunder, and a mighty host of men and horses, leading the army to battle!

The might of these Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals alone was no less than that of the Bear Kill Great King and the Curse Demon Great King!

Li Qi had no doubt that he couldn't handle these Heavenly Soldiers at all, and as for the Heavenly Generals… they could probably pierce him to death with one spear, leaving him with no ability to resist whatsoever.

Moreover, at this moment, there were probably a full hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals!

Just one command, and such power!

Li Qi was shocked here, but he saw the Bear Kill Great King laugh heartily, unconcerned: "Silver-plated spears, only good to look at! Children! Tear these broken things apart for me!"

As soon as he spoke, the demon soldiers let out a roar, and led by a Seventh-Rank Vice General, they formed a formation and launched a charge!

Two armies, each attacking.

Above the demon soldiers, military Qi was like black clouds, directly reaching the Po Jun star, Qi erupting above them, fierce as bears, within the Killing Intent, as if violent soldiers arose, like fire and smoke.

Above the Heavenly Soldiers, Qi was like a Dragon, like a mountain suppressing, with a canopy in the mist, the army brave and the soldiers fierce, the Qi beneath the camp was yellow-white, thick, rich, and lustrous, the Qi above like firelight, with flood Dragons soaring.

Both sides displayed military Qi!

Two different types of military Qi collided, each battling the other.

At the same time, the Curse Demon Great King also immediately made his move.

He didn't have as many demon soldiers and followers, but he had more sinister methods.

The Sky-Covering Evil Shadow suddenly retracted, and countless snakes, insects, rats, and ants directly appeared on the bodies of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, gnawing at their armor and dragging their weapons, causing the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to instantly fall into a disadvantageous position.

However, just at this moment, Shen Shuibi returned.
