Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 71 Attacking the Demon Stronghold, Impervious to All Magic (Thanks to Yunzhong Shehou for the bonus chapter)

Gu Yao, Tang An, He Dongyu, and several other squad leaders were overjoyed and racking their brains for ways to help the team. Meanwhile, Hu Qingfeng cleared his throat and said:
"Captain, I have a way to guarantee that everything will be foolproof."

Su Yu turned around and saw him take out an item.

His gaze fell upon the item and noticed its attributes. He was immediately taken aback, then overjoyed:
"Holy crap, there's actually something this good?"

Nine Heavens Capital Seal Soul-Suppressing Talisman (Earth Immortal): Handwritten by an Earth Immortal True Lord, it can suppress demons and monsters for the duration of one incense stick.

Su Yu asked in great surprise:

"Where did you get such a good thing?"

Hu Qingfeng chuckled:
"My dad treasures it!"

"can!"

Su Yu gave a thumbs-up.

This is both a compliment to the quality of the product and a praise of Hu Qingfeng's intelligence and decisiveness.

He had just discussed this with the five squadron leaders, and he was the only one who actually took action, going home during a mission to retrieve this treasure.

With this thing, we have a real chance of winning this battle.

Su Yu immediately gathered everyone and began assigning tasks.

"Later, we'll use the Immortal Talisman to seal the Demon King. Then, the Second Company will use 108 Heavenly Blazing Fire Banners to set up the Heavenly Blazing Fire Formation to trap Demon General Number One. The Third Company will use 108 Heavenly Ice Banners to set up the Heavenly Ice Formation to trap Demon General Number Two. The First and Fourth Companies will join forces to surround and kill the remaining leaders and demon soldiers. The Fifth Company will serve as a reserve force to intercept any potential enemies and provide support as needed."

Then, looking at Wei Xia, he said:
"You guys follow the Fourth Company first, take out all the small leaders and demon soldiers, and then see how to support other teams."

Wei Xia frowned and asked:

Who will deal with Demon General Number Three?

Su Yu grinned:
"I."

"You think you can hold off the demon general all by yourself?"

Su Yu chuckled, patted his waist and a flash of blue light appeared. A beautiful, jade-blue dragon flew out, circled in the air, coiled around his shoulder, and its tail affectionately brushed against his chest.

Wei Xia slapped his forehead and laughed:

“I forgot, you have a dragon spirit pet, then it’s no problem.”

Five minutes later, everyone was ready. Su Yu summoned the Sun-Covering Azure Sparrow and rushed to the mountaintop. The White Ape Demon King, with its keen senses, looked up and spoke in human language:

"Human, have you come here seeking death once again?"

Without any further words, Su Yu activated the Nine Heavens Capital Seal Soul-Suppressing Talisman. A white light shot into the sky and exploded, from which flew out a phantom of a Taoist master who pointed his finger, causing endless streams of light in the world to converge on the White Ape King.

The demon king looked surprised and reached out to resist, but the next second he lost consciousness and let his hands fall down, sitting on the ground as if he were asleep.

"The Demon King has been suppressed. Continue for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Make your move immediately."

Su Yu pointed and the Azure Sparrow Sword Light pierced the air and rushed towards the mountaintop. The demon general he marked as number three was a white wolf demon general. With equally keen senses, he threw a punch down.

"boom!"

A cone-shaped burst of energy, hundreds of meters in diameter, exploded out, and with a thought, he flew his Azure Sparrow Flying Sword diagonally to avoid it.

"Well."

Su Yu couldn't help but smack her lips, a strange feeling suddenly rising in her heart.

"As expected, he cultivates Taoist magic just like Ao Run."

The thought had barely formed when he saw the white wolf demon general turn around, grab the weapon behind him, stomp his foot, and a gray demonic cloud formed beneath his feet, soaring into the air and rushing towards him.

"Sure enough."

Without hesitation, he grabbed Ao Run, who was wrapped around his waist, and threw him away:
"Block it!"

"Roar!"

With a deafening roar, a flash of blue light revealed a dragon with a body covered in azure scales as blue as jade, which opened its mouth and spewed out a blast of icy cold air.

The white wolf demon general, who originally intended to hunt down Su Yu, immediately changed his target, raised his sword and unleashed a blade aura over a thousand meters long, which, carrying boundless power, cleaved through the Meridian Cold Tide.

The blade's energy was a thousand meters long, making Ao Run, who was 150 meters long, appear extremely small, as if he could be cleaved in two at any moment.

Ao Run's dragon claws reached out and grasped, and the primordial energy in the void gathered and quickly condensed into a giant dragon claw to meet the attack.

"clang!"

A deafening roar echoed through the air as the dragon claw and the blade's energy shattered simultaneously.

"A formidable rival!"

Both the wolf and the dragon were stunned for a moment, clearly sensing that they were getting serious. They raised their heads and charged forward, engaging in a fierce battle.

The blade cleaved down, smashing the dragon's tail open.

The demon soldiers slashed, and the dragon claws parried.

The demon general reached out and unleashed a net of hundreds of yellow demonic lightning bolts, which then exploded. Blue light appeared on the dragon's body, blocking the thunder that filled the sky.

Protective aura shields, qi-based flight, grappling techniques, lightning magic—both powerful demons, who had cultivated qi-refining techniques, used their respective methods to engage in a fierce battle.

At the same time, the other teams also charged up according to his plan. The second and third squadrons set up a large formation to trap the other two demon generals, while the first and fourth squadrons formed a formation to surround and kill the leaders and demon soldiers. The mountain instantly became chaotic.

In terms of pure strength, apart from Su Yu, no one else is capable of taking on a monster above level 100 single-handedly. But if it's just about blocking, everyone present could do it.

With just one Tier 5 defensive magic item, blocking an attack is no problem at all.

They outnumbered each other, so one would block an attack and immediately another would take over for the second, constantly rotating.

Under Gu Zhi Qiu's command, more than a dozen players used magic items such as the Binding Immortal Rope and the Fixing Light Mirror to interrupt and restrict the attacks, while the rest unleashed a frenzy of damage.

Wei Xia was also decisive, immediately activating his seventh-tier Thunder Hammer ultimate move. Hundreds of lightning bolts continuously struck down, blasting the demon soldier leader until his skin was torn and bleeding.

Two million health points couldn't withstand their relentless bombardment, and soon they were left with only the ability to defend and no power to retaliate.

On the other side, the second and third squadrons set up a large formation to trap the two demon generals. Although they did not have the firepower support of a seventh-tier magic weapon like Wei Xia, they did not seek merit but only to avoid mistakes. Using the formation to entangle them and prevent them from supporting other leaders was not a problem at all.

Without the interference of the big boss, the First and Fourth Squadrons advanced very quickly, but they were not the ones moving even faster; it was Su Yu and the White Wolf Demon General who were moving even faster.

After Su Yu reforged the Azure Sparrow Flying Sword that had been knocked away, he transmitted his voice to Ao Run:
"Stop it!"

Then, he activated the Radiant Transformation, combined the two swords, and the two flying swords merged into a stream of light and disappeared.

The next second, the white wolf demon who was fighting Ao Run slapped his neck and let out a painful roar, blood spurting from between his fingers.

"Taibai Light-Splitting Sword!"

The Taibai sword energy that separates when the two swords are combined is based on this state, with a single sword energy dealing over 8,000 damage, and a burst of over 200,000 damage in an instant.

A stream of light circled around him, and twelve terrifying damage numbers, each exceeding 20,000, jumped up, dealing hundreds of thousands of damage in an instant.

The white wolf demon general wanted to fight back, but was held tightly by Ao Run. The wolf demon template was still no match for the dragon. No matter how much it struggled, it could not break free and could only watch helplessly as the stream of light, which was barely visible to the naked eye, shuttled back and forth on its body.

The White Wolf Demon General's angry roar attracted the attention of many people. When they saw the terrifying burst of power, which reached more than 20,000 in a single second, everyone who witnessed it was stunned.

"Wow, this damage output is comparable to a Loose Immortal!"

In just ten seconds, the white wolf demon lost nearly three million HP and was directly put into a critically injured state.

At this moment, Su Yu also found it difficult to maintain the state of combining the two swords. In a flash, the swords split into two flying swords, and their speed decreased sharply.

He could sustain his mana. The two sixth-tier flying swords had similar attributes and a high degree of compatibility. When the two swords were combined, the mana consumption was only 680 points per second. With his current mana, he could sustain himself for twelve or thirteen seconds. During this time, he could take pills to restore his mana and sustain himself for another twelve or thirteen seconds.

However, combining two swords requires both the flying sword and one's personal divine sense.

After all, they are not identical sets of flying swords, and forcibly combining them will have a certain impact on the spirituality of the flying swords.

He also needs to use his divine sense to forcibly stabilize the two swords when he activates them, which puts a lot of pressure on his divine sense, and he will not be able to hold on for long.

In general, the more similar the essence of the flying swords, the stronger the individual's divine sense, and the longer the time it takes for them to merge.

There is no specific data on the strength of this divine sense, but generally the higher the level, the stronger the divine sense.

Although the two swords were not combined, the White Wolf Demon General was already beyond redemption, and Ao Run alone could suppress him.

Once Su Yu had refined the two combined, heavily burdened flying swords again before unleashing them, the White Wolf Demon General's life was already on a countdown.

The wolf demon who had practiced Taoist magic was indeed quite strong, far exceeding the template limit. It was no weaker than a terrifying template of the same level. However, it was a pity that Ao Run had also practiced Taoist magic, and his template was even higher, which completely restrained him.

The man and the dragon joined forces for a direct and powerful attack.

Half a minute later, the wolf demon was beheaded by him with a single sword strike, and eight pieces of loot were dropped.

Su Yu put away the spoils and immediately rushed to support the Second Squadron.

As they plunged into the Heavenly Blazing Fire Formation, they were greeted by a sky ablaze with flames that illuminated the heavens and earth. A giant white bear, fifty or sixty meters tall, stood on its four legs, rampaging through the formation.

Its enormous size endowed it with terrifying power; each impact caused the great formation to twist violently, as if it were about to be smashed open at any moment.

Unfortunately, the formation only defended and did not attack. The 180 flag bearers were full of magic power, and the remaining squadron of players hid inside the formation and kept interfering. When Su Yu arrived, the formation was firmly stabilized and did not break.

After Su Yu entered the formation, he unleashed his twin swords and began to strike relentlessly.

The bear demon turned and charged, but was stopped by Ao Run.

Trapped in the great formation, and with a powerful dragon blocking his way, the bear demon quickly found himself powerless to fight back and could only passively endure the beating.

He managed to hold out for a few minutes thanks to his high health, but was then beheaded by Su Yu with a single sword strike.

After collecting their spoils, Su Yu immediately led Ao Run to the Tianyi Xuanbing Formation set up by the Third Squadron, where the demon general was a white-haired rat that had become a spirit.

When Su Yu entered, this guy did not reveal his true form. Instead, he summoned a white pagoda and hung it above his head, with layers of precious light hanging down to protect himself. Then, he kept reaching out to grab lightning and bombarding the area around the great formation.

If it weren't for his rat-headed, human-bodied appearance and Taoist robes, one would have thought he was an enlightened Taoist master.

This guy looks more powerful than the other two demon generals. His level of Taoist magic is higher than that of the White Wolf Demon General, reaching 133 levels, which is only a few levels lower than the White Ape King. In addition, he has a seemingly high-level magic weapon in hand. Despite refining it for so long, we are completely unable to defeat him.

As soon as Su Yu entered, she summoned her flying sword and slashed down, while Ao Run opened his mouth and unleashed a blast of midday cold air.

The rat demon didn't resist at all; instead, it shouted:
"Human, interested in making a deal?"

The answer was two intersecting sword lights, spinning rapidly around the pagoda, raging and slashing like a tornado.

The white-haired rat spirit's expression changed slightly, and it continued:
"How about we call it quits? Let me go, and I'll leave immediately, swearing I'll never come back to take revenge on you."

Su Yu did not answer and continued her attack.

　PS: I've added a patch to adjust the demon power of the BOSS demon race. Generally, level 100 monsters have tens of thousands of demon power, while level 150 monsters have around 100,000.

　　If one cultivates with proper methods, one can reach a higher level, perhaps two or three hundred thousand or even more.
