Chapter 531 I am a human, not a monster
at the same time.
At the "U"-shaped depression at the gate to the demon world, thousands of top warriors from Tianxuan College were standing ready.
These people are all senior brothers from the older generation of Tianxuan Academy, and each of them has a cultivation level above the Soul Origin Realm.
They lined up neatly to form a human wall that was a hundred meters high. Each of them faced the gate to the demon world, hovering in the air on their flying swords with serious and solemn expressions.
The order they received was: if anyone breaks in from the demon world again, kill them without mercy!
Behind them, the forest between the second line of defense and the gate to the demon world has now completely turned into a bloody battlefield. Tens of thousands of human cultivation masters are fighting a desperate battle with hundreds of thousands of demon beasts.
The battle was extremely fierce and the scene was horrible. Although most of the monsters that broke into the gate of the monster world were only Xuan-level monsters, they were all huge in size and had thick skin and flesh.
The bodies of these giant monsters are as hard as steel. The weapons and martial arts of the human monks are like scratching an itch when hitting them. It is difficult to cause any substantial damage to them.
After a night of fierce fighting, the battle situation had already reached a stalemate.
In fact, the human race has gradually fallen into a disadvantage.
Fortunately, no monsters broke in from the direction of the demon world, otherwise, they would face a passive situation of being attacked from both sides.
Somewhere on the battlefield, Li Ruoling, Xuan Qian and ten other senior brothers and sisters from Tianxuan Academy were working together to surround and kill a huge earth-level monster.
"Everyone, try to attack its eyes!" Xuan Qian shouted, "They are too thick-skinned. Attacking their bodies is useless!"
"Got it, Senior Sister!" Li Ruoling replied loudly.
"Got it, Senior Sister..."
"understood……"
……
The other ten young men and women all responded one after another.
The younger generations with lower cultivation bases were organized into teams of twelve. After all, with their cultivation bases, it was simply impossible for them to destroy such a huge earth-level monster alone.
In order to ensure everyone's safety, the higher-ups divided these younger generations into numerous small teams and asked them to work together to surround and kill the monsters.
Thousands of meters away.
On the edge of a cliff on the top of a small mountain.
Xuanren and Wang Ergou stood side by side, looking at the bloody battlefield.
The endless battlefield had already furrowed their brows.
"Master Qianxian, this situation seems a little bad!" Xuanren said expressionlessly: "What are your plans?"
“No hurry, no hurry…” Wang Ergou said slowly, “Anyway, there are still forty-eight lines of defense in the rear. If we can’t stop them, we can just give up the second line of defense!”
"This time the demon world seems determined to win, sending out such a large number of giant demon beasts. Judging from their posture, I'm afraid they want to fight to the death with our three star regions!" Xuan Ren said solemnly: "In my opinion, we should make plans early!"
"It is necessary to make plans early!" Wang Ergou nodded: "However, how many people are willing to sacrifice their lives? Those sects, families, and major forces in the outside world will not be willing to take action before the monsters rush to their doorsteps!"
"As long as we spread the details of this situation, I think there will always be some people willing to come in and lend us a hand!" Xuan Ren said in a deep voice: "After all, this matter is related to the safety of tens of billions of people in the Wuyuan Star Region and the other two major star regions!"
"Well..." Wang Ergou smiled awkwardly: "Those who have a conscience pay their protection fees on time every year! As for those who have no conscience, they are not even willing to pay the protection fees. Do you still expect them to send people to help? Mainly because..."
"What is the main reason?" Xuanren looked at Wang Ergou blankly.
Wang Ergou: "It's mainly because when I was collecting protection money, I boasted that if anything happens to the Gate of the Demon Realm in the future, they don't need to take action, just leave it to our Qianxian Sect!"
Xuanren: “…”
Xuanren looked at Wang Ergou with disdain and said, "Master Qianxian, you have lived for thousands of years. Haven't you boasted enough? If you really want to brag, you can brag about other things. How can you brag about something like this?"
Wang Ergou said to Xuan Ren: "If I don't brag, will they pay the protection fee?"
Xuanren: "Then what do you do with all the protection money you collect every year?"
"Why, do you think I embezzled those spirit stones?" Wang Ergou glared at Xuanren. "Do you know how many spirit stones are needed to maintain the normal operation of the 7749 defense formations? Look for yourself, how big the coverage of each formation is!
Do you think that this problem can be solved with 30,000 or 50,000 spirit stones? Over the past year, each formation has consumed hundreds of millions of spirit stones! Forty-nine formations, plus the seal of the demon world gate, you should do the math yourself!"
Xuanren showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and quickly said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, Taoist priest, don't be angry, don't be excited! I just said it casually, I didn't mean anything else."
"Hmph, everyone in the world thinks that I, Wang Zhengdao, am a complete liar. Do you think I don't know that? Do you think I don't know that you have always seen me that way?" Wang Ergou said with contempt.
"Hehe, you are really wronging me!" Xuan Ren said with a wry smile, "Okay, Taoist priest, don't be angry anymore. The most urgent thing now is to think of a countermeasure. It's not a good idea to keep wasting time like this!
Our old dean specially asked me to bring so many people to help your Qianxian Sect, hoping that I can help you successfully resist the invasion of the monsters. I must complete this task, otherwise, how can I explain to the old dean when I go back? I am afraid that I will not be able to keep my position as dean! "
"Are you still worried that you won't be able to be the dean?" Wang Ergou's face was full of contempt, and his tone was full of ridicule and disdain: "This time the monster invasion is not a joke, it is different from any previous one!
If we can't hold on, we will all be doomed. This Wuyuan Star Region will definitely become the territory of the demon clan again in the future, just like it did tens of thousands of years ago!
Humph, it's already a matter of life and death, and you're still worried about your position as dean!"
Xuanren was a little embarrassed by what Wang Ergou said. He scratched his head and laughed dryly: "Hehe... I just said it casually, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously..."
His smile seemed a little flattering, as if he wanted to calm Wang Ergou's anger.
After all, this is an old monster who has lived for thousands of years. Even Xuanren has to be courteous in front of him.
Outsiders don’t know Wang Ergou’s background, but he knows it.
However, when he was young, he had heard the elders of the clan mention the reputation of this Thousand Immortals.
Then again, no matter how high his position was, he still respected this old senior who had been silently guarding the Thousand Immortals Sect and the gate to the demon world from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't worry, even if we can't hold it, there is someone who can definitely do it!" Wang Ergou suddenly said slowly.
"Who?" Xuanren stared at Wang Ergou with excitement.
"Haha..." Wang Ergou stroked his small goatee and said, "Of course it's my thirteenth disciple!"
"You mean Ye Fei?" Xuan Ren was stunned: "Him? So many of us can't defend, but he can?"
Although Xuanren knew that Ye Fei's sword technique was indeed extremely powerful, it was beyond the ability of one person to defend against so many invading monsters.
Tens of thousands of masters from Tianxuan Academy have come out in full force. If they can't hold on, can Ye Fei do it alone?
"Hmph, his abilities are beyond your imagination!" Wang Ergou looked proud.
"Haha, Taoist Priest, Ye Fei is indeed extraordinary, but you have such high hopes for him, isn't it a bit too much of a joke!" Xuan Ren curled his lips: "I admit that he is indeed hard to find an opponent among the younger generation, but so many of us can't resist these monsters, and he can resist them alone? You are praising him too much..."
"Who is coming!" At this moment, a shocking roar suddenly came from a distance.
Following the sound, I saw two figures suddenly rushing out from the gate of the demon world a thousand meters away.
“Who cares who comes!” At this moment, an old voice shouted again from the gate of the demon world: “The dean has ordered that anyone who comes out of the gate of the demon world, whether it is a human or a demon, will be killed without mercy!”
The next second, a voice that everyone in this world could not have imagined rang out: "I am Ye Shisan from the Thousand Immortal Sect! I am a human, not a demon!"
