Long River Eternity

At this time, the atmosphere in the Tianshu Pavilion Command Center was also extremely depressing. Although the entire room was filled with the noise of everyone conveying information, there was a hint of trembling in each voice, as if everyone was trying their best to suppress the fear, despair, unwillingness or anger in their hearts.

Zhan Wushuang stared at the herd of beasts approaching like a tide in the picture, his eyes full of tension and anxiety.

She quickly turned to look at Lin Ding beside her, her voice thick with worry: "Why would the demon tribe suddenly launch an attack? Could something have happened to Pavilion Master Nian and Grandpa? Could it be that they... have already been defeated?"

Lin Ding was also staring intently at the surveillance footage on the wall, his brow furrowed as if he were lost in thought. After a moment's silence, he spoke in a steady voice, "Calm down and don't speculate. There aren't any monsters from the Northern Frost Demon Alliance among the herd. Pavilion Master Nian's situation might not be that dire."

"What do you mean?" Lin Ding's words were like a ray of warm light, penetrating the haze in Zhan Wushuang's heart and smoothing out her messy thoughts.

Lin Ding paused briefly, his tone calm and steady as he spoke slowly, "If the Beihan Demon Alliance truly didn't participate in this attack, then it means that the century-long battle between Pavilion Master Nian and Jingyan hasn't ended yet. However, the specific situation depends on what happens in Beizhou City."

Zhan Wushuang frowned after hearing this, and after a moment of silence and thought, he asked with a puzzled look on his face, "If it is really as you said, why did the demon race provoke a war so hastily and divide its forces to open two battlefields?

Could it be that he wanted to take over Zhongzhou while Pavilion Master Nian and Grandpa were away?

But even if that is the case, we should send out our elite troops and go straight for the checkpoint with the lowest defense among the eight checkpoints, instead of attacking the strongest Qitian Pass.

Moreover, why did they attack Beizhou City and Bingzhong at the same time? Are they so confident in their own strength? "

Lin Ding shook his head helplessly, then said softly: "Now Pavilion Master Nian is already at the peak of the Tianxuan Realm, Jingyan is definitely not his opponent.

Since the revival of spiritual energy, most of the great monsters that survived from ancient times have only recovered their cultivation to the early stage of domination, and being able to recover to the middle stage is already the limit.

Therefore, even if Xiangliu personally joined the battle, it would be difficult for him to compete with Pavilion Master Nian.

In other words, if the demon race cannot defeat Pavilion Master Nian, even if they really break through Qitian Pass, it will be meaningless."

At this point, Lin Ding paused, lost in a brief moment of thought. On the surface, he was analyzing the current battle situation for Zhan Wushuang, but in reality, he was using this method to sort out the chaotic thoughts in his mind, trying to infer the true motivation of the demon tribe's attack and formulate a corresponding countermeasure.

Lin Ding's thoughts drifted away. He had information about the demon race that he got from Yang An in his ancient memories, combined with some fragmentary clues from Yang Nian.

He knew very well that the enemy that mankind was facing now could not be the demon clan led by the great demon Kunpeng. Even if the Beihan Demon Alliance did not participate in the attack this time, they definitely had cooperation with the ancient demon clan, and there must be masters behind them.

Therefore, the top priority is to figure out the real mastermind behind the demon clan as soon as possible.

Xiangliu, Han Dong, Di Jun...possible characters flashed through Lin Ding's mind one by one like shooting stars.

When Lin Ding fell into deep thought, the demon army had already rushed into the fire range of Qitian Pass like a surging tide.

On the city walls, rows of nuclear-gold-powered thermal weapons stood majestically like steel behemoths, emitting a cold and deadly aura, and were already on full alert.

In an instant, energy attacks filled the sky, pouring out from gun barrels and cannon barrels like meteors. The dazzling light cut through the sky, as if to ignite the entire world.

In the blink of an eye, the first batch of monsters that entered the attack range were overwhelmed by the surging energy torrent. Their screams were endless, echoing in this war-torn world.

However, this first wave of demonic beasts was merely cannon fodder thrown by the demon race. Their highest realm was no more than the Jade Eternal Realm, like moths to a flame, pitiful victims used to test human firepower and consume ammunition.

Sure enough, just as the aftermath of the first round of attacks had not yet dissipated and all the hot weapons began to reload, the powerful monsters in the rear keenly seized this fleeting opportunity.

They rushed towards Qitian Pass at the fastest speed like arrows shot from a bow, bringing with them a gust of wind that made the surrounding air tremble.

Rushing in the front was an iron-armored alligator turtle. Its body grew against the wind and instantly turned into a towering hill, lying between Qitian Pass and the beast herd.

Its body is like a moving steel fortress, and every step it takes makes the earth tremble; there is also a giant-clawed pangolin that is slightly smaller than an alligator snapping turtle. Its claws are extremely huge, flashing with cold light like sharp blades, as if they can easily tear apart anything that stands in its way.

Both of these monsters are in the early stage of Tianji Realm. Their hard shells gleam with an obsidian-like luster under the sunlight, as if they are invincible shields bestowed upon them by God, and they possess terrifying abilities.

After loading the ammunition, the guns quickly adjusted their direction and roared again. Beams of energy shot towards the charging monsters like angry dragons.

However, most of this attack was easily blocked by the alligator snapping turtle and pangolin at the forefront. The attacks of those mass-produced low-level guns and cannons were like children's toys in front of these two defensive-focused Tianji Realm monsters, completely insignificant.

However, Bai Jun, the commander, had already planned a countermeasure in his mind. When the first round of artillery fire started, he decisively dispatched twenty Tianquan Realm experts to operate the four annihilation weapons placed on the city wall.

These four annihilation weapons were like sleeping beasts. Under the control of the Tianquan Realm masters, they began to move slowly, accumulating terrifying energy.

After a period of accumulating energy, the alligator snapping turtle and pangolin had advanced less than 500 meters when four dazzling white lights flashed across several kilometers like lightning, striking them with devastating force and slamming into them with lightning speed. The light instantly illuminated the entire dark battlefield.

Four beams of light, like four giant dragons, relentlessly pushed the two demon beasts back. Originally intended to shield the beasts behind them from attack, their massive bodies, like bulldozers, crushed many weaker beasts, killing them. Blood splattered the ground, staining it crimson.

However, the four beams of light were released by the powerful Tianquan Realm masters. Although they were powerful, they were only at the early stage of Tianji Realm.

Faced with the amazing defenses of alligator snapping turtles and pangolins, although they can be repelled, it is obviously extremely difficult to seriously injure or even kill them.

After pushing them back a distance, the power of the beams of light quickly dissipated. Immediately, the two beasts suddenly raised their giant claws and easily crushed the four beams of white light like leaves swept by a gust of wind, stirring up a cloud of dust.

This was the first head-on confrontation between the two sides. It seemed that the human side had gained a slight advantage and successfully repelled the attacking monsters. However, this did not boost the morale of the human side. Instead, it made the atmosphere of the entire battlefield solemn.

Because everyone clearly realized that these two monsters were just the inconspicuous vanguard of the monster army.

The real big demon is still hiding behind the army, like a hunter lurking in the dark, quietly waiting for the best time to attack, and has not yet taken any action.

To deal with these two demonic beasts, the humans had already dispatched twenty powerful masters of the Power Realm, plus four annihilation weapons. However, they ultimately pushed the other party back a distance, only slowing down the beasts' advance, and not even causing any harm.

Bai Jun's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm. He looked at the herd of beasts that had regrouped and were rushing towards Qitian Pass like a flood again. Then he slowly raised his head, his eyes penetrating through the layers of clouds and looking at the sky.

In the sky that was covered with dark clouds since the attack of the demon army, a huge black shadow was looming in the thick clouds. It was Kunpeng that flew into the sky early in the morning.

From the moment the beasts launched the attack, Kunpeng had been hiding in the clouds, like a mysterious ghost, without making any move.

However, its existence made the atmosphere of the entire battlefield even more depressing, as if an invisible boulder was pressing on everyone's heart.

No one knows what this ancient monster is planning, and when it will suddenly launch that fatal attack. At this moment, Kunpeng is like a sword hanging over everyone's head, making people nervous all the time.
