Xiahou Qingyuan also nodded at this time and said:
“Now it seems that the three people of the Nine Abyss should have long expected that there would be dragon slayers entering the Dragon Domain from here, so they set up this octopus army formation.”
Xiahou You also furrowed his brows and said at this time:
“This Jiuyuan really isn’t an easy opponent.”
And just as the two were talking, in the spectator screen, the Qinghe Demon Emperor who was standing in the air above the 300,000-strong army suddenly raised the giant axe in his hand and roared:
“All generals, listen to the order!”
“Beat the war drums!”
As soon as the voice fell, only the rapid and orderly drumbeats of “dong dong dong” began to spread in waves centered on the army formation.
At the same time, in the sky above the battle formation, the originally seemingly transparent eight-armed octopus void also condensed into substance little by little in the sound of the drumbeats.
Seeing this, Zhang Moyan immediately furrowed her brows and said:
“Just a few sounds of the war drums can increase the fighting spirit so much. This seems a bit unusual.”
Xiahou Qingyuan seemed to know something, but instead of answering directly, he asked the old martial god Zhu Huai:
“Elder Zhu, do you recognize the sound of these war drums?”
The old martial god Zhu Huai nodded, and then said with a solemn expression:
“This should be the Luosha Drum of Jiuyuan, made from the human skin of cultivators who died in extreme fear. It can stimulate the fear deep in the hearts of the generals under the drumbeat, making them go crazy in extreme horror and fear, and then attack the enemy regardless of everything like those evil ghosts and Luosha.”
“During this period, their combat intent will also continuously skyrocket due to fear.”
Hearing this, everyone in the attic had expressions of astonishment on their faces.
This was especially true for Duan Xiaoyu and the others who had never been to the Heavenly Demon Battlefield.
For the first time, they felt that Jiuyuan’s methods and actions on the battlefield were far more brutal than when he was in the Shangqing Cultivation World.
At this time, the Valkyrie Jiang Cuicui also spoke up and said:
“When the Rakshasa Drum gets the fighting spirit, it will be beaten three times in total. And when the sound of the third drumbeat rings out, it will be the moment when the combat intent of the military formation is the strongest, and the military formation will inevitably launch a full attack.”
Frowning tightly, Junior Martial Aunt Lu Rushuang took a deep breath and then muttered:
“That is to say, this Qinghe Demon Emperor intends to launch a full-scale attack on the city.”
And just as she was saying this, only the voice of the Qinghe Demon Emperor was heard, once again coming from the viewing virtual image——
“Today, I will use the four of you to sacrifice the upcoming battle to attack the city!”
As he spoke, only the originally earth-shattering drumbeats suddenly dissipated.
However, this is dead only lasted for a moment and a burst of “rumbling” sound was heard again coming from the viewing virtual image.
Immediately, the fighting spirit above the 300,000-strong military formation seemed like a real eight-armed devil octopus, with its tentacles covered in suction cups looking lifelike.
And with a wave of the Qinghe Demon Emperor’s big hand.
The four tentacles bundle on Chu Yu and the others suddenly tightened qi qi and began to pull forcefully backward.
Although this pulling force was not yet enough to threaten Chu Yu and the other three.
But under such pulling, the four of them still had to divert their attention to deal with it.
Because they were very clear that the closer they were to the fighting spirit of the devil octopus, the greater the threat of this fighting spirit to them.
“Boom!”
Almost at the same time, one of the tentacles of the eight-armed devil octopus unexpectedly inserted into the chest of the ox demon that had fallen to the ground earlier.
The next moment, everyone looked on in astonishment as the ox demon that had originally fallen to the ground actually stood up again.
And the ox demon that stood up again even picked up the huge stone pillar on the ground once more and began to charge towards the already damaged gate.
“Bang!”
Amid the loud noise, with just one impact, the crack at the originally broken part of the city gate expanded a little more.
According to the current situation, at most, it would only take three to five more impacts and this city gate might be smashed.
Seeing this, Chu Yu on the city tower gritted his teeth and said:
“Everyone, since we are entangled by the fighting will of the Octopus, there is no way for us to escape.”
When saying this, Chu Yu looked at the battle formation in front, and his eyes turned cold as he said:
“Since this is the case, why not go downstairs and fight them!”
Fu De beside him agreed:
“I will go downstairs with Elder Chu to defend the city gate. Please ask Brother Xiao and Brother Qi to guard this city tower well and don’t let the monsters climb up the tower!”
Qi Yunshan also stood up at this time and said:
“I will also go with the two of you to defend the city gate!”
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Weinan behind him and said:
“Brother Xiao has the True Fire, and it is more than enough to guard this city tower!”
Xiao Weinan frowned, and then looked at the three of them worriedly and said:
“Three people, the war drums of the magic army have sounded, and the fighting will of the Octopus will naturally become stronger and stronger. With just the four of us guarding here, what is the difference from waiting for death?”
The three people suddenly fell silent together.
At this time, only to hear Xiao Weinan say again:
“It’s not that I am heartless. It’s just that in the current situation, we are powerless to turn the situation around. Instead of sticking here and waiting for death it’s better to leave first and then make a long-term plan.”
As he spoke, he also raised the gourd in his hand and said with a serious face:
“There is a real fire in my gourd that can help the four of us temporarily break free from the battle will of this Demon Octopus.”
After a period of silence, only to hear the Chu family elder Chu Yu suddenly shook his head and said:
“If you want to leave, then leave. Anyway, the old man will not leave!”
Immediately, I saw him turn around and jump off the city wall without saying a word.
After a slight silence, Fu De suddenly looked up at the sky and then sighed and said:
“Brother Xiao, if I leave today, I’m afraid that my Xiao family will never be able to hold their heads up in the Upper Clear Realm forever.”
Immediately, I saw him turn his head and shout loudly:
“Old Chu, wait for me!”
As he spoke, I saw that he, like Chu Yu, directly jumped off the city wall.
The remaining Qi Yunshan first looked at the two people downstairs, and then his gaze fell back on Xiao Weinan and said:
“Brother Xiao, if you want to leave, then leave. I will stay here to guard.”
Xiao Weinan looked at Qi Yunshan in some confusion and asked:
“Old Qi, what are you doing this for?”
Qi Yunshan thought for a while, and then his eyes looked towards the rear of the dark 300,000-strong army formation, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised and said:
“I want to take a gamble.”
Xiao Weinan was even more confused and asked:
“What are you gambling on?”
Qi Yunshan’s eyes froze and said:
”Bet, that kid will definitely come!”
Xiao Weinan was stunned for a moment, then his brows furrowed tightly and he fell silent.
Qi Yunshan looked at the rear of the three hundred thousand troops and said without looking back:
”Brother Xiao, if you lose the bet, at most you will die and your dao will disappear, but if you win the bet, it will be a great opportunity!”
Xiao Weinan gritted his teeth hard and walked straight to the edge of the city wall and said:
“Brother Qi, you should still guard this tower, and I will go to help Elder Chu and Elder Fu!”
As he spoke, he was seen leaping up and flying towards the city gate.
Qi Yunshan was stunned for a moment, then grinned and said:
”Interesting, interesting! It seems that I’m not the only one who believes he will come!”
Chu Xiaoxiao in the Chunyu Pavilion, upon hearing this, suddenly said with a confused expression:
”Who on earth is the ‘he’ in their mouths?”
