Chapter 1228 - 766: Seven Saints of Great Xia (4)

"Alright, Divine Tree." Du Yu placed one hand on his abdomen and patted the Spirit Branch, "Wait for my good news!"

Spirit Branch: "You promised to coexist with the Twin Trees till the end."

Du Yu’s face was solemn: "Yes!"

Spirit Branch: "Don’t die."

Du Yu: "..."

What a beautiful blessing it truly is.

As the Spirit Branch slowly retracted, Du Yu looked around and flew towards Master Qing.

Yang Qingqing slowly opened her eyes, clearly benefiting greatly from the help of the Divine Tree: "The Demon Spirit Squad has sent a distress signal. The vanguard has already found the Youhan Army and has engaged them."

Du Yu: "I will follow Master Qing’s arrangements."

Seeing her disciple’s rare serious demeanor, Yang Qingqing felt a sense of assurance in her heart.

From a very long time ago, the young Du Yu had already been her source of confidence.

Saying this out loud might invite ridicule.

After all, as a master and the esteemed Demon Taming Emperor, she should be the one to shield her disciple from the wind and rain, yet she has a slight dependency on him.

But Yang Qingqing did not find it inappropriate, and even felt a bit proud in her heart...

"Caw~~~"

A surge of dense Wind Demon Breath erupted as the Sorrow Seabird spread its wings and let out a loud cry.

"Let’s go." Yang Qingqing led everyone to fly onto the back of the Sorrow Seabird, and the Great Demon Saint flapped its long wings, soaring across the sky above the Asa Capital City.

Mountain Fire Saber and Tribulation Arrow flew from afar, chasing after their master’s figure.

Seizing the opportunity, Du Yu narrated to everyone his earlier conversation with the Divine Tree and his speculations about the Youhan Army infiltrating various countries of the world.

This discussion was undoubtedly heavy, and there was a significant possibility to it.

The current situation was clear, and regarding the invasion of the Twin Tree Realm, the Youhan Realm had made tactical changes.

In the past, the Youhan Tree would approach without any detours, conquering the Twin Trees step by step with absolute strength.

But Du Yu’s appearance completely disrupted the battlefield’s pattern.

Although the Twin Tree Realm had not yet reversed the decline, Du Yu had already demonstrated such potential. His actions informed the Cold Tree of his capability.

Therefore, the Youhan Tree changed its strategy, starting to play tricks.

Yang Qingqing pondered: "Do you think, if the Saint Minister sees us leave, he’ll follow?"

"The Divine Tree believes the Cold Tree specifically sent the Saint Minister targeting me," Du Yu added, "I believe so too."

"Luring the serpent out of its hole is good too." Yang Qingqing nodded gently, "Everyone, stay sharp and prepare yourselves."

Her mindset aligned well with Du Yu’s.

If they could encounter the Saint Minister on the battlefield, it would undoubtedly be the most ideal result.

After all, in daily life, people’s states are different, making it hard to maintain constant vigilance.

Du Yu’s 16th-floor home was naturally a place for him to relax his mind and body. If the Saint Minister barged in while he was taking a bubble bath...

The crisis certainly needed to be resolved as soon as possible!

Yang Qingqing had already made up her mind.

If this encounter with the Youhan Army did not draw out the Saint Minister, then everyone would need to search this nation until they found the opponent!

As Du Yu watched everyone deep in thought, he quietly moved beside Lin Shiwei and asked in a low voice: "What Spirit Skill is suitable for a Fire Element Spirit Master?"

Lin Shiwei thought for a moment and said: "Candle Core Fire, which shoots a continuous stream of flames from the hand."

She then carefully explained it to Du Yu.

The six members of the Cyan Sect were all Spirit Masters, but their directions in Spirit were different.

When there was no cultivation environment, both Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan chose the Wind Element to raise the Dust Spirit Deer.

Now, with the conditions for Spirit Cultivation available, Lin Shiwei decisively adjusted her direction in Spirit.

She, like Du Yu, cultivated Fire Spiritual Qi, while Li Mengnan remained unchanged, sticking to the Wind Attribute.

Yang Qingqing chose to specialize in cultivating Wood Spiritual Qi, Jiang Feng in Earth, and Fu Jianzhou in Water.

Except for the Thunder Attribute, which no one cultivated, the Cyan Sect covered all Spirit Attributes.

Indeed, the Human Race should pursue the profession of a Spirit Master.

Whether it was breakthrough promotion or Spirit Skill cultivation, the progression speed of the Human Race was quite fast!

In almost no time, a fierce Fire Pillar shot from Du Yu’s palm.

Fire Spirit Skill·Candle Core Fire!

Lin Shiwei gently advised: "It’s better not to practice too much; save your Spiritual Qi."

"Mm-hmm." Du Yu nodded repeatedly, very obediently.

In the current situation, his Fire Spirit Skill was unlikely to play a role in battle due to the low level of Spirit Skill and the very high level of the battlefield he was participating in.

In comparison, the greater benefit of Du Yu’s cultivation in Spirit was using Spiritual Qi for protection and actively wielding the Void Axe.

"Congratulations, master." The Void Axe finally seized the moment and congratulated as Du Yu settled down.

"Thank you, now I can finally wield you," Du Yu replied with a smile.

"Wielding the Void is just one of the steps," the Void explained, "When the master tears open the spatial rift, you must also ensure that the other end of the rift is where you intend to go."

Du Yu whispered: "Space coordinates?"

"Yes!" the Void said in a deep voice, "Concentrate on your tasks first, and after the battle ends, the Void will guide you in experiencing it in detail."

Du Yu immediately nodded: "Alright."

"Du Yu, Du Yu~"

"What is it?"

Little Fen Yang said: "That bad guy, it’s already burned!"

"Oh?" Du Yu’s eyes lit up. This was really refreshing!

Feeling uninformed about the Youhan Army’s situation, this piece of information came just in time.

He immediately called out: "Master Qing, the Empress’s Minister has already been controlled by the Demon Fire. Would you place me in the map first?"

Yang Qingqing did not hesitate and swept her hand across in front of her, unfolding a scroll.

Amidst the rapid flight of the Sorrow Seabird, this was the only way for Du Yu to harvest a slave without falling behind.

Upon entering the Jiangshan Map, Du Yu immediately activated the Mountain and Sea Bell and reached the Mountain Realm.

"Oh~ oh!" In just a moment, Du Yu was tightly bound by the Jia Rong Grass, "Jia Rong, I!"

"Sorry, Master." The Jia Rong Grass quickly loosened its grip.

"No need to apologize, you did the right thing!" Du Yu patted the Deep Red Grass Leaf, "Soon I will teleport more of the Cold Race in here; you must entertain them well for me!"

Jia Rong Grass: "As you wish, Lord of Mountains and Seas."

"I’m going to check on the Female Emperor’s Minister." Du Yu, with wind entwined around his feet and fire, flew forward.

A tall and athletic Cold Race woman, with gray hair and gray skin, was bound with her hands and feet stretched out in the air.

Du Yu floated in front of the Female Emperor’s Minister, unable to help feeling a sense of admiration.

Setting aside her terrifying appearance, just discussing the physique of the Cold Race, it truly makes the warriors of the Human Race envious and jealous!

It’s simply a human-shaped fierce beast!

"Hiss..." The Female Emperor’s Minister let out a shallow throat sound, her pair of gray misty eyes looked at Du Yu, her face already devoid of any scorn.

Apparently, the Demon Fire has completely controlled her mind and spirit.

Otherwise, with the Cold Race’s superior attitude, it would be impossible to face Du Yu so calmly.

"Jia Rong, I’m taking her out for questioning, you guard the Celestial Gate."

Jia Rong Grass confirmed, "Master ensures she is no longer a threat?"

"Don’t worry." Du Yu flipped his hand, and Bell Shadow flashed rapidly.

Master and servant returned to the Jiangshan Realm·Celestial Gate, Du Yu carrying the non-flying Female Emperor’s Slave, broke through the painting, and threw her onto the bird’s back.

In an instant, everyone looked over.

Yang Qingqing furrowed her brows slightly and said, "Make her transform."

Without waiting for Du Yu to negotiate, Little Fen Yang controlled the Demon Fire with his mind.

The Female Emperor’s Minister’s skin transformed in waves, reverting back to the golden-haired female general Aisha’s appearance.

The Asa combat camouflage appearing on her body also kept her from being "indecent".

Although... well, although in essence, she is still naked.

Her pair of blue eyes surveyed the surroundings, finally fixing her gaze on Du Yu. The Female Emperor’s Minister could sense where her "master" was.

Du Yu: "Answer our questions, do not hide anything."

With the help of Little Fen Yang carrying the Demon Fire, the Female Emperor’s Minister nodded.

Meanwhile, on the distant battlefield.

The wind raged, lightning flashed and thundered.

The Youhan Army clearly came prepared, with nearly two thousand Cold Race individuals alone!

And every member of the Cold Race has two Cold Beasts under their command.

This Cold Beast Legion is definitely not a ragtag army!

Each Cold Race member rides a Wind Trace Steed, forming a two-thousand-strong cavalry regiment, like an ancient troop from the Otherworld.

The soaring Electric Little Star in the sky is the Cold Race’s most potent killing weapon.

"Sizzle~ sizzle~"

"Crack!" Electric Little Star darted madly, sometimes exploding violently, transforming into stars across the sky, rushing at the Human Race pursuers.

The attacking and defensive positions of both sides are particularly clear, with the Human Race Corps using Earth-type and Wood-type Demon Beasts to establish thick earth walls and shields of trees and flowers, defending against the Youhan Corps turning around to strike at the pursuers.

Yes, the Youhan Corps made a sudden about-face, striking at the rear pursuers.

It must be known that with the help of Wind Trace Steeds, the maneuverability of the Youhan Cavalry regiment is terrifyingly strong!

If this regiment decided to escape, it would indeed be very difficult for the Demon Spirit Squad to catch up.

"Bang!"

"Boom..." The starry sky blasted countless pockmarks into the defensive walls, causing the walls to fracture and tremble constantly.

Every tremor makes people’s hearts pound with fear.

Each burst of thunder and barrage of stars seems capable of taking lives!

From rapid pursuit to bitter defense, to gradual retreat, the Demon Spirit Squad is enduring the fury of the Youhan Army.

In fact, the mentality of the Demon Spirit Squad’s soldiers hasn’t fluctuated much.

They know very well that the Youhan Corps is the elite of the elite!

The soldiers are even more aware that defeating this 2,000-strong Youhan Corps with their 800 numbers is extremely challenging.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as they can stall the enemy’s advance!

The longer they stall, the more reinforcements will arrive later, and the more disadvantaged the Youhan Army will become!

The soldiers have already received word that comrades from the Great Xia Bookstore·Twenty-Ninth Bureau have successfully cut off the supply line of the Youhan Realm.

That legendary Demon Tamer, Great Xia’s First Paper Crane Disciple·Du Yu, has already chopped up the Youhan Tree!

Thus, the Human Race has a constant influx of reinforcements, while the Youhan Corps can only dwindle!

"Everyone, be alert, tighten the formation, reinforce the defensive walls, watch for the stars above, hold fast!" A Human Race soldier commanded the corps to resist, shouting vehemently, "Hold on..."

Before the words fell, a dazzling light suddenly lit up above the battlefield.

"Crackle!!!"

Fine electrical currents surged wildly, spreading over the distant sky as thunder exploded!

Eight hundred warriors all looked up, gazing into the sky through the severely damaged defensive walls.

The first sight was a silver spear close to a hundred meters long.

The flickering silver tassel beneath the spearhead flowed like a silver waterfall.

This hundred-meter Holy Soldier·Silver Spear was closely held by a small Human Race man.

The man, riding a white horse and clad in silver armor, looked majestic, akin to an ancient general crossing the river of time, entering the modern battlefield.

This person wasn’t wearing a helmet, revealing a rather heroic face, with striking features.

"Crack!"

The White Horse Silver General swung his long spear, with electricity splashing wherever the spearhead passed.

The stars blasted towards him by thunder dispersed instantly, flying back.

"Brothers! Reinforcements! Reinforcements have arrived!"

"Seven Saints? White Horse Silver Spear! It’s the Seven Saints!"

"Yes! It must be him, Great Xia Seven Saints·Zhongli Chen!"
