Immortal Road.

Chapter 297: The Sword Formation
After half an hour of fighting, the middle road of Jingqilin was already covered with blood.

Countless vampire finches fluttered around, picking out fresh delicacies. There were also crows, vultures, and bats in the forest, ready to make a move, but they could not compete with the vampire finches for food, so they could only hope to leave some leftovers.

Countless leeches and bedbugs were crawling on the ground, drilling in and out of the corpses, which was very unfriendly to the monsters with claustrophobia.

However, neither camp cared about these things. Even though the intense fighting lasted for an hour and both sides were exhausted, no one said they wanted to give up.

The Yuanlu Demon King was extremely anxious and eager to lead his troops back to rescue his old nest.

The Kuihu Demon King held on tightly, waiting for Mr. Bei to join him.

Finally, while fighting on the battlefield, they moved to the back of Jingqilin.

Mr. Bei led his army and arrived late.

"Your Majesty, I am here!"

Mr. Bei shouted, and the army behind him, who had been resting for such a long time and were now well rested, also shouted with full energy.

"Oh hoo!"

The roar was so earth-shaking that it scared all the birds in the forest away, and they rushed into the sky in the middle of the night.

The Yuanlu Demon King was horrified as he looked at the Kuihu Demon King who was chasing him closely behind him, and Mr. Bei who was blocking him in front of him.

This time, there are wolves in front and tigers behind!
The monsters in our camp below were in a panic, at a loss of where to go. They felt the fear of having no way up to heaven or door into the earth, and in an instant they were in chaos.

The Kuihu Demon King was originally still irritable, but his expression eased a little after seeing Mr. Bei finally arrived, but he didn't give it a good look either.

Mr. Bei did not have time to notice these things, but immediately ordered his generals to lead the troops to support the pincer attack, while he himself lined up in front to block the retreat route.

The herbivorous camp was now attacked from both sides, unable to take care of both ends. They suffered heavy casualties, and the originally orderly retreat was disrupted, and stampedes began to occur frequently.

The Yuanlu Demon King could no longer sit still. He knew that if he didn't make a decision now, he would suffer the consequences.

Having been a commander for many years, he has also used the method of cutting off one's own arm to save a life.

When it first became powerful, it was alone and helpless, and was chased everywhere by the Kuihu Demon King. So many of its veteran followers sacrificed themselves for the greater good that it had already developed the tenacity of the Yuanlu Demon King!
"Yuan roe deer, camel horse, green rhinoceros, pile rabbit, demon raccoon, boiling ape."

A long string of names were recited in succession, and long howls arose from below, all responding to their king.

The Yuanlu Demon King showed a look of reluctance, but it only flashed for a moment before he gave a cold order.

"Broken Queen!"

From the fleeing army below, more than a dozen balls of light immediately split out, as indestructible as reefs on the sea, and nailed in place like pillars.

These herbivorous demon generals led their tribes and blocked the army of the Kuihu Demon King outside. They did not retreat even though they suffered heavy casualties. Even when they knew they would become abandoned, they did not complain at all.

These are all die-hard fans of the Yuanlu Demon King. They are conquered by his charm and are willing to die for him.

With these monsters covering their retreat, the remaining army, under the coordination of the Yuanlu Monster King, concentrated their forces to break out.

Mr. Bei had been prepared for this and was determined to win by playing it safe. He personally led his troops to form a battle array and wait.

Waves of herbivorous monsters came like a tide, with the determination to fight to the death and the cry of "die if they fail". When two brave men meet in a narrow road, the brave one wins. Mr. Bei stayed firmly in the formation, unmoved.

After several rounds of charges, layers of corpses were left in front of the formation, and the army of herbivorous monsters still failed to break out.

The Yuanlu Demon King was becoming increasingly anxious as he watched this, and was even more jealous of the Kuihu Demon King because he had a general like Mr. Bei who was capable of handling matters on his own, while he had to do everything by himself.

The Kuihu Demon King laughed loudly and entangled it tightly.

"Yuanlu, today you are being attacked from both sides by me, and your entire army will surely be annihilated. This is a strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west!"

The Yuanlu Demon King roared as he attacked:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Kuihu, I know that with your stupidity and Mr. Bei's steadiness, you would never come up with such a risky plan. There must be an expert behind you giving you advice!"

The Kuihu Demon King was very complacent and started to show off again. He did not want to miss any opportunity to strike a blow at his old rival's faith.

"There is indeed someone behind this king. The strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west was proposed by Military Advisor Lin, and the strategy of feigning pursuit and tailing to attack from both sides was proposed by Military Advisor Wei! Yuanlu, no matter how much you personally take care of everything, you can never match the wisdom of the military advisors, hahahaha!"

"Wei Military Advisor?"

The Yuanlu Demon King’s eyes widened and he became more and more annoyed.

"Which Wei military advisor? How come there is another military advisor? Who, who on earth could have come up with such a vicious plan to ambush this king!"

On the battlefield below, Young Master Jiuyou, who was fighting with the Rock-skinned Elephant Monster, actually had time to answer at this time, and he even smiled carefreely and proudly.

"Junior Wei Wuya greets the Yuanlu Demon King!"

The Yuanlu Demon King heard the sound and looked down.

On the dense forest avenue below, a young man in black robe, holding a folding fan, looking very handsome, was fighting against the rock-skinned elephant monster, a general under his command.

This man was surrounded by demonic energy, and had several magic treasures with ghostly fire flashing. The Rock-Skinned Elephant Monster was actually suppressed and beaten by him!
Behind it, there were two hundred little demons following, fighting back and forth with the Rock Elephant Clan.

The key point is that this person also has some knowledge of military formations. As his old subordinate, the Rock-Skinned Elephant Demon is only as good as him in leading troops!
The Yuanlu Demon King was fearful. In front of him was Zhong Shenxiu, behind him was Lin Shan, and now there was Wei Wuya. All of them were talented. No wonder the Kuihu Demon King was so arrogant now!

So many helpers have come!

The Yuanlu Demon King's habit of poaching people came back again, and he couldn't help but shout to the people below.

"Mr. Wei, what benefit did this old fellow Kuihu give you to make you work for him? Why don't you come with me? I will pay you double, and make you the prime minister and treat you as a distinguished guest!"

These words spread in the sky and could be heard by all living beings on the battlefield below.

When Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu heard this, their movements immediately slowed down. The tradition of the three brothers was to "trick their brothers", so how could they let Young Master Jiuyou have the opportunity to enter Hongya Cave in advance?

The two of them were misunderstood by the Yuanlu Demon King. As the eldest brother, how could he not be sociable? This retreat must be blocked!
But before the two of them could step forward to help refuse, Young Master Jiuyou actually took the initiative to speak, with a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Thank you for your kindness, Yuanlu Monster King. However, I, my second brother Lin Shan, and my third brother Zhong Shenxiu are close brothers. How can I abandon my brothers and start my own business, causing them to turn against each other? I absolutely cannot agree to this!"

"What's more, my three brothers were entrusted by the Ming Snake Demon King to pass by the Cliff Forbidden Land to help the Kuihu Demon King. How can we break our promise?"

"Don't mention the matter of instigating rebellion. Since we are a powerful enemy, I will do my best to deal with it!"

……

At first glance, these words sounded righteous, and the Kuihu Demon King was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. This made the Yuanlu Demon King so angry that his seven orifices were fuming, and his eyes were like knives that cut him down fiercely. The Young Master Jiuyou was completely unharmed, and he was beating up the Rock-skinned Elephant Demon by himself, as if he was holding a grudge.

At first, he did not dare to reveal his magic power and was beaten up by the rock-skinned elephant monster. Now that it has been exposed, he has nothing to worry about. The situation has changed, so he naturally took ruthless action.

Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu looked at each other and let it go. They no longer had any reason to betray their brother.

Young Master Jiuyou had a simple idea. He was not going into Hongya Cave, but to follow his two good brothers closely.

Since they cannot surrender to the Yuanlu Demon King, there is no need for them to go to the Yuanlu Demon King. It is better to state their position openly in exchange for the appreciation of the Kuihu Demon King.

The Kuihu Demon King was indeed in high spirits now. His previous dissatisfaction with Mr. Bei for missing the opportunity to fight was slightly calmed down by this incident, and he was ready to continue dragging the fight with the Yuanlu Demon King.

Seeing the army below still charging forward one after another, the Yuanlu Demon King threw himself in front of Mr. Bei's formation fearlessly, and finally could not help but explode!

"Blood is revealed, supernatural powers are revealed, deer are calling, eating duckweed in the wild, true spirits are coming, the deer-chasing sword formation is on!"

"Clang clang clang clang~~~~"

The clear sword chants resounded between heaven and earth, ethereal and distant as if they sounded like fairies from the sky.

The twelve-branched antlers on the head of the Yuanlu Demon King directly left his head, shrouded in the yellow light for a moment, and instantly turned into twelve flying swords circling around!

The sword chant happened to sound at the twelfth time!

"Buzz~~" These deer antler swords vibrated continuously, carrying the mysterious aura from the void. The color gradually changed from yellow to white, and from white to silver. The dazzling silver light directly illuminated the night sky, and the light spread over the entire jungle like daylight!
"True spiritual breath!"

The Kuihu Demon King was horrified and watched the twelve swords absorb the spiritual energy from the void, but he did not dare to get close, for fear of being surrounded and killed by the sword formation.

The two demon kings have been fighting each other for two hundred years, so it is natural that they cannot be unaware of each other's strength.

The twelve branched antlers were a reflection of the return of the true spiritual bloodline to the ancestors, and were treated as the only treasure by the Yuanlu Demon King and refined from time to time, adding countless precious spiritual materials. In addition, together with the formation diagram obtained from somewhere in the forbidden area on the cliff, once connected into a sword formation, they could kill enemies of higher levels!
The Yuanlu Demon King is now in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Even the Kuihu Demon King does not dare to resist the power of the sword formation that has been tempered by the aura of the true spirit, and can only dodge passively.

If its magic treasure was still there, it could try to touch it and intercept this killing move, but now it totally dared not to attack!
The Yuanlu Demon King coughed up a ball of blood and sprayed it onto the twelve silver swords, absorbing the spiritual energy at an increasingly faster speed.

Seeing that the situation on the battlefield below was not good, it did not care about the Kuihu Demon King at all, because it also knew that this old thing was thick-skinned and tough, and it was not strong enough to kill it, but it could still be used to break through.

"Zhulu Sword Formation, go!"

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

……

Twelve silver swords swooped down and attacked Mr. Bei's army like falling meteors.

The Kuihu demon king subconsciously shouted from a distance: "Get out of here!"

Mr. Bei was unmoved. He was experienced and knew that his men were no match for the Yuanlu Demon King's fatal blow. It was not that he was careless and did not dodge, but that he could not dodge.

Then we can only fight hard!

"Array Spirit!"

With a loud roar, the demon army behind him, which had followed Mr. Bei for many years and had long been under his command, began to light up one by one. Demonic power and demonic energy rose into the sky, merging into a colorful old turtle.

Turtle shell formation.

Mr. Bei responded to the situation, changed his defensive formation, and summoned formation spirits to protect the army behind him.

The turtle spirit's entire body was transparent and emitted white light. It grew larger and larger, directly covering the formation. A white sky curtain rose up from its shell behind it.

This is the power of a large formation gathered from thousands of elite demon troops, and it is also a tortoise shell formation known for its defense. Even a Nascent Soul stage warrior can withstand it without any danger.

However, the Yuanlu Demon King was no ordinary demon. He had just used his essence and blood to infuse his true spiritual energy, and with the addition of his bloodline supernatural power, he activated his own demon treasure. The twelve deer antler swords carried the sword formation and struck down in one blow!

“Bang! Kakaka~~~”

With a muffled sound, cracks appeared on the tortoise shell of the demon spirit. All the demons below groaned in unison and bent their bodies slightly.

The Yuanlu Demon King gave instructions again, the sword formation circled and struck again!
"Bang! Crunch, crunch~~~"

This time, the cracks on the demon turtle shell became bigger, and all the demon soldiers below vomited blood.

Seeing this, the Kuihu Demon King had no choice but to bite the bullet and attack again to fight the Yuanlu Demon King head-on.

The Yuanlu Demon King ignored everything and urged the sword formation to make a circle, continuing to carry the falling meteors, vowing to open an exit.

The sword battle formation.

It was a unique move that it created for itself after breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, based on its comprehension of an ancient formation diagram and the help of its own bloodline power and antlers.

Creating one's own magical power is something that even most human cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage may not be able to do, but it was accomplished by a demon.

This shows how terrifying the Yuanlu Demon King’s understanding is!
The third attack, the sword array came flying at high speed with a long tail flame, and fell on the tortoise shell army array with unstoppable force.

"Bang! Crash~~~"

A big hole was directly broken into the turtle shell, and the demon soldiers below were killed or injured, and they cried in pain.

Mr. Bei tried his best to hold on, and shouted:

"Where is the Flying Bear Army?"

The Kuihu Demon King in the sky was startled, thinking that Mr. Bei was going to use his ace troops to block the bullets, so he shouted to stop him.

"No!"

Mr. Bei turned a deaf ear to it. Today, because he was late, the subordinates of the Kuihu Demon King suffered heavy losses in the first half hour of midnight, so he must make up for his mistake!

He directly ordered the Flying Bear Army to move forward, fill the gap and repair the army formation. The old turtle's shell became smooth as a mirror again.

At the same time, the flying bears with wings on their ribs below pounded their chests, and the demonic lights once again connected into a small formation, and the second demon spirit was summoned.

Savage beast Thunder Bear!

"Roar!"

As the Thunder Bear appeared, the entire forest shook. Dense filaments of lightning began to gather around it, and a silent electric field spread all around, accumulating power.

"Pfft~"

The Yuanlu Demon King was hit hard by the Kuihu Demon King and was beaten so hard that he vomited a large mouthful of blood.

Not all monsters have very strong physiques, but a muscular monster like the Kuihu Monster King is a complete body-building maniac. Every part of his body is a weapon, and no one can withstand his punch.

The Yuanlu Demon King ignored him and mobilized the sword formation to attack again. Today he was going to charge at Mr. Wolf!
"Bang bang bang bang bang~~~"

The sound of heavy blows continued to echo in the forest. The army under Mr. Bei's command was repeatedly weakened. Every time they received a blow, they would become an inch shorter. Later, they all fell to the ground!

The two old turtles and the thunder bear were also covered in wounds and on the verge of collapse, struggling to resist the fierce attack of the Yuanlu Demon King.

The Kuihu Demon King tried his best to deal with the Yuanlu Demon King, but he couldn't stop the other party's determination to return home.

Finally, despite trying his best, Mr. Bei was still overwhelmed by the torrent of thousands of crazy herbivorous monsters below.

A hole was opened just like that.

This is normal. No matter how powerful Mr. Bei's command is, he can't hold out against the attacks of the Yuanlu Demon King and tens of thousands of troops. It's already amazing that he can hold out for so long.

When the Yuanlu Demon King saw that the hole was finally opened, he felt relieved. He dragged his weak body and turned to meet the Kuihu Demon King.

As for their own army below, under the siege from three sides from the rear, the rearguard troops were basically wiped out. As for the rest, how many could escape back to Hongya Cave depended entirely on their luck.

However, what is certain is that in this great battle tonight, the Yuanlu Demon King's subordinates will inevitably suffer extremely heavy losses, and may even be completely damaged.

Night fell again, the Zhulu Sword Formation had already flown up to the clouds, and the two demon kings started a bloody battle once again.

A battle royale is happening again below.

In the chaos, Mr. Bei lay exhausted on the side, as tired as a dead dog, with a group of wounded demon soldiers behind him, including the ace Flying Bear Army of the Demon King Kuihu.

"Tap tap tap tap tap"

Groups of people and horses roared through the jungle and galloped towards the distance.

At some point, a strange voice was heard.

"Hey, isn't this our great military advisor, Mr. Bei? Why is he so embarrassed?"

Mr. Bei looked up, panting. It turned out to be Lin Shan, who had just passed by with his troops from the rear and was looking at him with a smile.
