“Three times.”
Xu Taiping couldn’t help but look up at the octopus demon.
“Amitabha, that won’t work. This demon is covered in forbidden power, and my spells are ineffective against it.”
Monk Xuanzhi shook his head with a bitter smile.
“Boom！ ……”
Just at this time, more than twenty tortoise-shell demons at the front of the group of demons suddenly spat out water cannons towards the direction of the Red Armor Army formation.
“Bang！”
More than twenty water bubbles formed by green poisonous juice heavily bombarded the top of the Red Armor Army formation.
Even a military formation of nearly two thousand people, facing the bombardment of so many water bubbles, the serrated shield formed by the fighting spirit above was still bombarded so that the spiritual energy dissipated for a while.
However, as the old general raised the fighting spirit of the two thousand Red Armor soldiers again, the Illusory shadow of the serrated shield protecting the perimeter of the military formation was also re-stabilized.
“Hoo, hoo！ ……”
Before Xu Taiping could speak, Bai Yu violently flapped his wings and blew all the poisonous fog away before it entered the military formation.
“Rumble… ”
Just as the Red Armored Army formation withstood this first wave of attack, the army of demons, under the cover of those turtle-shell demon poison juice water bubbles, began to charge towards the formation like a tide.
If these several thousand demons with cultivation bases above the demon realm all charged the formation with their true demon bodies, the Red Armored Soldiers wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.
“Boom！”
Almost simultaneously, the old general suddenly pressed a palm on his chest, and a burst of blood energy spread out like a raging wave.
In an instant, the originally translucent earth-yellow shields suddenly became as solid as real objects, completely enveloping the entire Red Armored Army formation.
“Bang！”
Immediately afterwards, the group of demons at the front crashed heavily into those shields.
However, after being strengthened by the old general’s blood energy, these shields became extremely strong and the people protected beneath only felt a slight tremor from the ground.
However, including Xu Taiping, the expressions of the people present did not have the slightest hint of joy.
Because they all knew very well that this was bought with the old general’s life.
Xu Taiping turned his head to look at the old general and then found that his blood energy was gradually integrating with the entire formation, and the might emanating from his body was also becoming stronger and stronger.
There was no need to guess to know that the old general was burning the power of the Burning Sea Formation and the army formation to try to extract the divine power of those three divine weapons.
“Brother, I finally heard it！ That monster named Jiao Ling asked all the Gui Jia Devils to shoot water bubbles at the shield above the old general’s head.”
At this time, Ping An’s voice suddenly rang out in Xu Taiping’s mind.
The ‘heard’ in Ping An’s mouth naturally refers to ‘telepathy’.
“Boom！”
Just at this moment, the water bubbles in the mouths of the Gui Jia Devils were shot out.
Without thinking, Xu Taiping first held the Yin Talisman, summoned three thousand Chi Jia Ghost Soldiers, and then pointed a finger at the shield of fighting spirit above the old general’s head.
“Bang！”
With a loud noise, Xu Taiping saw that the direction of the water bubble attacks of those Gui Jia Devils was really above the old general’s head.
Hit by more than twenty water bubbles at the same time, the huge shield formed by the fighting spirit and the burning sea flames suddenly had a hole, and a large amount of poisonous juice was about to flow out.
“Boom！”
And at this time, with the sound of a breaking wind, a column of air formed by countless swirling strong winds shot out from Xu Taiping’s fingertips, and with the blessing of the Chi Jia fighting spirit and the Burning Sea Array, it turned into a huge fire tornado rising into the sky, burning the poisonous juice that was about to pour down completely.
The shield formed by the fighting spirit of thousands of Chi Jia Cavalry was also re-gathered at this time.
”Thank you, Brother Xu. Please hold on for a while longer！”
At this time, the old general, who was looking up at the sky, roared and thanked Xu Taiping. His tone was full of heroism, without the slightest trace of fear. He didn’t look like a person who was about to die at all.
Although the old general didn’t say any words of encouragement to the numerous Red Armor Cavalry, his hand that had almost been inserted into his chest and his heroic and generous momentum were all inspiring the soldiers of Western Zhou.
Zhang Liang, who had witnessed his father die in this way, tightly bit his lip, and his hand holding the long spear trembled uncontrollably.
Finally, unable to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, he began to loudly recite the sixteen—character maxim of the Confucian school —
”The human heart is only dangerous, the Dao heart is only subtle, only by being refined and single-minded can one truly hold to the mean.”
And with his voice, the other Red Armor Cavalry and Red Armor Soldiers also recited it in unison.
For the Red Armor Cavalry of Zhenhai Tower, these sixteen words are not some profound sayings, but the proof of their every battle with the monsters.
In the sound of the recitation, the noble spirit of the Confucian school once again spread out from the bodies of the soldiers.
And the noble spirit of the Confucian school has always pointed upwards with the tip of the pen. So when looking from a distance those noble spirits were like beams of light shooting up into the sky, supporting the shields that had been constantly sinking due to the impact of the monsters.
“You bunch of junk, can’t you see that he intends to take those three divine weapons?”
At this time, a roar full of anger came from above the clouds.
The one who spoke was the eight-armed devil octopus.
Having dealt with the Zhenhai Tower many times, it saw the old general’s plan at a glance.
If it weren’t for the fact that it was still gathering strength at this moment, it would have already taken action by itself.
And after hearing these words, the hearts of those several demon lords tightened. Although they had been reborn many times, their fear of those three divine weapons was engraved in their bones.
”At all costs, break the formation！”
Immediately, the demon lord Jiao Ling shouted loudly and issued an order to all the monsters.
