Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1054: Strategy
As Duanmu Lin's voice faded, the figure of Aquababe was seen approaching rapidly from a distance and appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. A hint of fear was visible on his face as he reported. “Chairman, we have counted the number of demonic beasts gathered there, a total of 4,150. But we cannot determine how many are strong among them. Furthermore, they are now rushing towards our position, and we can expect them to reach our defensive line in over half an hour. ”
“What?!”
Duanmu Lin's face changed drastically. He had never imagined that the number of demonic beasts was overwhelming. Killing over 4,000 demonic beasts was simply an impossible mission with their current army.
Even if ... Had they been able to obliterate everything, it was highly likely that only a handful of farmers would have survived.
What are we supposed to do? Fight them head-on, or use a hot gun? But will modern weapons produce significant results?
Hun Sen, who was just fooling himself, now had a completely different impression of Duanmu Lin at this moment. He said in a deep voice, “Director Duanmu, you are the main commander of this operation, please hurry and give the order! How do we defend against that demonic beast? ”
Duanmu Lin's mouth opened, but no words came out. He doesn't know what to do. The news shocked him, and he could not think of a good countermeasure at all.
Suddenly, his eyes turned to the interior of the mountain range. There, he saw dozens of cultivators with smouldering bloody appearances with killing auras. They flew as fast as lightning towards him. He also knew the leader of those people, Jin Shi, who was the captain appointed by Tang Xiu for the group.
“Are you okay?” Duanmu Lin asked with concern after greeting him.
Instead of replying, Jin Shi wiped the blood on his face. He let out a severe cough and vomited out a mouthful of blood. After sighing in relief, he then said with a tired face, “We are fine, Director Duanmu. Although most of us were seriously injured, no one died in battle. Also, we have killed quite a number of demonic beasts, nearly 100 of them. ”
Nearly 100?
Horrified appeared on Duanmu Lin's face. It should be noted that, so far, they had only managed to kill less than 200 demonic beasts from each set of demonic beasts trying to destroy the defensive line they had created. However, Jin Shi and his team had killed many demonic beasts in just a short period of time. This is just incredible and unbelievable!
Dozens of other people also had a change in expression, looking at Jin Shi and dozens of Tang Sect disciples doubtfully. Only after a while did they wake up and lift their thumbs. No one spoke because they thought that words would not be able to express their admiration towards Jin Shi and his team.
“Jin Shi, the team led by Tang Xiu and Mo Awu have all returned,” Duanmu Lin said. “Unless one victim from Mo Awu's team, the rest are still alive and are now in the back area to heal their injuries. But Tang Xiu had entered the interior of the mountain range, and Mo Awu had also led two others to catch up with him. You know more about Tang Xiu's abilities than me, so I believe that you don't have to worry about him. Therefore, it is best for you to take your time to heal now as I fear that we will face an even more brutal battle soon. ”
Jin Shi's face slightly shifted and he asked. “Is this new wave of demonic beasts going to attack our defensive line?”
“This is verified.” Duanmu Lin forced a smile and said, “The number has also been confirmed, which is more than 4,100 demonic beasts. This is the biggest wave to attack us, about dozens of times the number from the previous one. ”
“If that is the case, then we will return to recovery,” Jin Shi said without hesitation. “Also, please let us know immediately when the demonic beasts attack in the defensive line, Director Duanmu. We can join the battle at any time even if we are injured. ”
“Good.”
Duanmu Lin clutched his fist and slightly punched Jin Shi's chest twice while nodding repeatedly.
****
Deep in the Himalayas.
Tang Xiu's figure was as if a ghost as he moved swiftly without leaving any trace in the white snow. He now dashed quickly to the place where the wave of demons was gathering. Duanmu Lin had ordered Aquababe to send him the exact coordinates of that gathering place, so he crossed there at an extreme speed.
Something is wrong.
Suddenly, Tang Xiu's expression changed. He took out the Invisible Charm from the interspatial ring, along with several Raging Flame and Lightning Charms. When his figure disappeared, he lunged to the side of a nearby mountain and stood there ten seconds after that.
Heavy snow fell from a distant peak. It was like an avalanche, but it was also very frightening. Amidst the falling snow, however, demonic beasts numbered in the thousands that seemed to be everywhere heading to the blockade line.
Too many. The defensive line would not be able to withstand this attack. Once this demonic beast broke through the defensive line, it would pose a great threat to the garrison behind, even bringing about a devastating disaster for ordinary people living in the towns and villages near Ugley.
I have to find a way to stop them and buy time for Duanmu Lin. The number of practitioners in China is quite a lot. Whether they were ability users, ancient martial arts practitioners, cultivators, and other practitioners, those here were only a tenth of the overall number.
Many thoughts swirled in Tang Xiu's mind, and killing intent emerged and became stronger in his eyes the more time passed. His eyes were fixed on the demonic beast. He could tell that such a demonic beast definitely had one demonic beast with high intelligence as a commander. As the saying goes: You must arrest the king if you want to disperse his subordinates. If he could find a certain demonic beast and kill it as fast as lightning, it would most likely have a huge impact on this horde of demonic beasts. It might even lead to its collapse and the cancellation of this attack.
As the horde approached, they were now only two kilometers away from Tang Xiu.
Right at this moment, the invisible Tang Xiu moved as fast as lightning and instantly shot up to 100 meters in the air. He quickly released all the charms he had prepared and threw that lightning bolt into the bird species demonic beast not far from him.
A burst of lightning emerged from the sky and struck a large number of bird species demonic beasts. Ear-piercing howls and screams rang out as these several hundred demonic beasts fell from the air. Although the lightning bolts inflicted by the Lightning Spell were unable to kill them directly, the damage it inflicted was very significant. Along with its paralysis effect, it made this ferocious beast unable to act temporarily.
A few seconds after, the several thousand demonic beasts on the ground raised their heads to the sky. A sense of horror and panic could be seen from them when they saw the situation of the bird-specific demon beasts. But right at this moment, Tang Xiu appeared amidst these demonic beasts while still being invisible. He instantly ignited many Raging Fire Spells as the blazing flames exploded, creating a sea of flames that instantly incinerated several demonic beasts and burned hundreds more.
Riots make chaos!
Whoosh .. Roar …
The horde of previously arranged demonic beasts turned chaotic in an instant.
ROAAAAR !!!
The deafening roar of a savage beast was controlled by a certain group of demonic creatures. Some of the weaker ferocious beasts near the source were instantly killed by his shockwave, while the rest quickly became silent and looked frightened. Eventually, the chaotic horde began to look orderly once again.
Amidst this horde, Tang Xiu's eyes swept swiftly before they landed on a cat-like shape standing on the horns of a unicorn-like demonic beast. Her small size was so insignificant and so difficult to recognize that, if not for Tang Xiu's sharp eyes, she wouldn't have seen it.
I never thought such a small demonic beast would have the ability to command a swarm of demonic beasts. But it is very possible that its small size is only one of its forms, but its actual strength may be very strong!
That thought flashed through Tang Xiu's mind as his body instantly shot towards a certain demonic beast. At the same time, he released the divine sword stored in his body as it instantly transformed into a gigantic sword tens of meters in the air. In the next instant, a sword energy nearly 100 meters long exploded and shattered towards the little demonic beast.
That was an all-out blow.
The Primal Chaos Force frantically surged within the eight extra-meridian channels in Tang Xiu's body. Coupled with the power of divine weaponry, that energy forcefully tore through the gap in the middle of the horde of demonic beasts. Dozens of demonic beasts were instantly killed by Tang Xiu's sword, while many others were pushed back with sword force. Some even panicked.
The body of the small demon beast above the head of the unicorn-like beast suddenly expanded. His body instantly ballooned into the size of a mammoth so large that a unicorn almost stepped on him.
A ROAAAAR!
A layer of black flames billowed towards the splitting long sword, while a gigantic fire hammer crushed Tang Xiu's divine sword.
THE EXPLOSION…
The demon beast commander was severely injured by the slash of the divine sword and forced to retreat. The beast wriggled in pain as deep wounds were left on its body, making its bones visible. If not for the demonic flame he unleashed and that incredible hammer, Tang Xiu's sword would have managed to kill him.
As for Tang Xiu, his body only trembled slightly. After pulling the divine sword, he retreated in an instant. It was a pity that the aura he leaked out was too powerful despite still being under the invisibility effect, causing the demonic beasts to rush over and attack him on the way back.
ROYAR !!!
The demon beast commander let out an angry roar and issued an order to attack. It had not sustained such a miserable injury for a long time, causing it to go ballistic and furious. He wants revenge against the man who hurt him.
Since one full blow had failed, Tang Xiu did not insist on doing it again. He would only be surrounded if he did, and he would not be able to leave unscathed even if he had the strength to break through their encirclement.
His divine sword continued to fly while releasing a powerful violent sword qi which forced back the demonic beasts and lightly injured them. However, a certain demonic beast that was heavily injured, quickly left the horde and darted to the left side.
He wanted to escape, thinking that it was best to lead the horde from somewhere else.
