Chapter 865: Chapter 540: Current State of the Military Department, Reclaiming the Ancient Treasure! (Double Chapter)

"A few insignificant beings dare to speak arrogantly in the territory of the Human Race. How amusing!" Xu Yuan found these Demons’ arrogance infuriating, causing the Cang Lei around him to grow even more violent.

In the next moment, without saying a word, Xu Yuan charged bravely and alone towards the group of Demons.

At the same time, the Thirteenth Army’s soldier generals he had brought also arrived, entering the battle.

"Capturing you will be a perfect offering to the Great King!" A Snake Spirit with wings twisted its Demon body and laughed loudly as it lunged at Xu Yuan.

Boom!

The violent thunder ravaged the sky, bearing against all the Demon Qi from above, yet not dissipating!

Though Xu Yuan had never reached the Celestial Ruins Realm, he had his own fortuitous encounters, allowing his growth speed to be remarkably fast.

Almost every year and a half, his strength improved significantly.

Currently, Xu Yuan’s strength was almost infinitely close to Grandmaster Level.

As the Cang Lei raged, those Demon Generals had no choice but to retreat repeatedly.

"Bai Lu, aren’t you going to use your Fire Ring now?" a Demon General shouted.

Bai Lu snorted disdainfully. Just earlier he was so arrogant, but in the end, he still had to rely on him.

Though somewhat reluctant, he still summoned the Fire Ring and hurled it at Xu Yuan.

Bang!

The Fire Ring’s power was immense; even for Xu Yuan, it was difficult to withstand. Turning into a streak of Thunder Light, he was instantly slammed into the ground by the Fire Ring.

"What kind of treasure is this?!" Xu Yuan’s eyes widened. Though his Thunder Armor wasn’t harmed by the Fire Ring, he was indeed suppressed just now.

"Be cautious, this item is extremely powerful," Yang Zhen said, holding a spare Battle Spear.

"Can you dodge it?" Bai Lu attached his Demon Power to the Fire Ring, and it hurtled towards Xu Yuan again.

Xu Yuan shifted his body, this time avoiding a head-on clash, choosing to use Thunder Control Flash to evade.

"Relying solely on Innate Qi without Master’s Power may not be enough to deal with this Fire Ring."

"Tsk, troublesome."

Xu Yuan frowned, his gaze then locked onto Bai Lu’s true form, planning to bypass the Fire Ring and directly eliminate the holder of the treasure.

However, the opposing side had many powerful Demon Generals gathered, and Xu Yuan and Yang Zhen, the two Military Commanders, were still somewhat inadequate.

Fortunately, the reinforcements were not only limited to Xu Yuan’s Thirteenth Army.

A sword light swept away vast waves of Demon Qi, and another Grand Marshal descended beside Xu Yuan.

"Apologies for being late," Tang Le Mountain said in a deep voice.

"Good timing, not late!" Yang Zhen said excitedly.

Tang Le Mountain led the Twenty-second Army, and he had undergone quite a transformation, appearing more composed inside and out.

Back then, driven by the obsession of being competitive, he would issue immature challenges to Song Changming.

And now, he wouldn’t do such foolish things anymore; he treats that challenge as a past dark history, unwilling to mention it again.

"Though the military strength isn’t what it used to be, even adding your Twenty-second Army, it’s difficult to hold this Horned City!" Xu Yuan said, looking at the figures of the Demons filling the sky.

To him, this posed no less a threat than the crisis during the Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun Omen era when the Demon Race invaded extensively.

"No worries, it’s not just me who has arrived." Tang Le Mountain let out a faint smile.

Soon, two more Grand Marshals appeared, each with their own Little Flag Master.

"The Fifth Army, Meng Kunlun, and also, the First Army, Hu Fanyi!"

Seeing these two fierce figures from the military, Xu Yuan felt assured.

"Is this enough?" Hu Fanyi said in a cold tone, filled with killing intent, as he looked at the group of Demons.

"Hey, it’s enough!" Xu Yuan said no more.

The battle to defend Horned City continues.

Meanwhile, in Donghua City.

After refining the Great Demon Blood and Flesh Essence, Song Changming sat in the courtyard during a training break, resting while lightly tracing rune patterns in the air with his fingers.

Currently, whenever he had free time, he’d ponder over the level Ten Sealing Array, studying and meticulously refining it.

During this process, he occasionally experienced Flash of Inspiration moments, knowing these were rewards from Heaven Rewards Diligence.

If you work hard, you will eventually gain.

Piece by piece, it’s like assembling a highly complex puzzle, and each Flash of Inspiration grants him a small fragment of the relevant puzzle piece, facilitated by the panel, enabling him one day to complete it.

Suddenly, Su Qingqing flew over from afar, landing in the city and entering the courtyard where Song Changming was.

Her Qi Blood was still unsettled, and her armor bore traces of congealed Demon Blood.

Without a doubt, she had just returned from slaying Demons.

As Song Changming lowered his hand from tracing the runes and opened his eyes, Su Qingqing spoke obediently.

"Master, the invading Demon Race in the south has already been cleared by me."

"You’ve labored, Qingqing," Song Changming nodded and smiled.

With Su Qingqing’s combat strength by his side, he naturally didn’t need to handle everything personally.

In fact, as long as no Great Demon appeared, other Demon Race invasions could be easily dealt with by Su Qingqing alone.

With the results of both Human Race Martial Arts Cultivation and Demon Race bloodline cultivation, her power was beyond normal measures, allowing her to independently sweep away the invading Demon Race, easing Song Changming’s mind.

"There’s one more thing; I just received news that Horned City has been invaded by a large number of Demons, and multiple Cui Banner Army units have already fallen into fierce battles there," Su Qingqing reported the latest intelligence.

"What about Hu Tomb?" Song Changming inquired with a frown upon hearing this.

Horned City is positioned in the northwest direction of Cui Bai Dao, and should be Hu Tomb’s area of defense.

In such a war swamp, to minimize the already scarce soldier generals’ casualties, Hu Tomb should have intervened early.

"Lei City and the main city’s Prince’s Mansion sent messages that Hu Tomb and the Great King have already acted, currently dealing with invading Great Demons, unable to spare attention for the battle at Horned City," Su Qingqing said while handing over a Communication Jade Scroll containing intelligence.
