Chapter 664 Falling into a tough fight
Guanyin Bodhisattva opened his eyes and said slowly, "I always feel uneasy in my heart, and there are ominous signs in the dark."
"Don't worry, brother. Although the demon soldiers are strong, they can't break through the coalition's defense line. The killing power of the Heavenly Court soldiers is too strong. With the assistance of my monks, the battle situation is tense, but the victory is obvious."
Manjusri Bodhisattva comforted him, "Since Taoist Mosquito dared to set up a scheme to kidnap the fairy and frame our sect, he must have something to rely on and was prepared to face our wrath after being exposed. But after all, the devil is one foot high and the Tao is ten feet high. He did not expect that in just a dozen years, the heavenly soldiers and generals have been reborn and are more than a hundred times stronger than before.
"Yes, the current 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals can be called the strongest army in the Three Realms, right?"
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva said: "The Dao Sect is stronger than our sect in the way of attacking, so we should not underestimate it in the future. Fortunately, the Buddha has unparalleled wisdom and resolved the conflict between the two sides. In the future, we need to properly manage the relationship and borrow the power of the Heavenly Court to help our sect to relieve disasters and spread the Dharma."
"wrong!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva's expression became more and more solemn, and she shook her head slowly: "Everything is out of causality. The heavenly army and the demon soldiers should not be so powerful. There must be something wrong..."
While the three great masters were talking, a loud noise suddenly erupted on the battlefield. The piercing roar attracted their attention and they all turned their eyes over.
At first glance, the three great masters were all shocked. They saw that a deep pit suddenly appeared on the ground. The bottom of the pit was red, and the rocky soil had melted into boiling lava.
A huge gap appeared in the neatly-arranged formation of the allied forces, as if they had been bitten by the huge pit. The soldiers who were originally standing there, whether they were Western monks or heavenly soldiers and generals, were turned to ashes in an instant.
"It must be the Blood Sea Ancestor who has taken action. We must quickly move forward to stop him and not let him slaughter the soldiers at will!"
Manjushri Bodhisattva took the lead, followed by Samantabhadra and Guanyin, and they flew quickly towards the direction of the explosion.
However, when they arrived above the giant pit and released their spiritual senses, the three Bodhisattvas were unable to detect the source of the powerful demonic energy, and did not find any trace of Taoist Mosquito at all.
"What's going on? Apart from him, is there anyone else in the Blood Sea Demon Clan who can display such powerful magical powers?"
Manjusri Bodhisattva was surprised and asked, "Could it be that this old demon escaped after one successful attack?"
As if to answer his question, a flash of fire suddenly appeared in the blood mist. The fire was like a meteor piercing the sun, and it came at an incredibly fast speed.
The fire meteor was flying at high speed. One could see the sight but could not hear any sound. It was obvious that its speed broke the sound barrier and was even many times faster than the speed of sound. It was so fast that ordinary immortal-level cultivators could not react in time.
The three great masters were at a high level of cultivation and had extremely strong dynamic vision. They stared intently and saw the true form of the fireball. It was a worm like a silkworm pupa, with its limbs and legs already degenerated. It clung to the oval keratinous body, and its tail spewed out a dark blue flame.
The reason why it has such a high speed is due to the powerful propulsion provided by the flames at the tail.
The fire-breathing worm crashed into the army formation, and the next moment a strong light flashed, and an extremely hot earth flame erupted, engulfing dozens of coalition soldiers around them. The fireball rose up and gradually dissipated after a long time.
When the fire died down, all that was left was a large pit with lava flowing out of it.
The three great masters had been slaying demons for many years, but they had never seen this kind of monster. It turned out to be a disposable explosive insect, which was shot out from somewhere behind the enemy. After being launched, its only survival instinct was to find a target and detonate itself. The demon mosquito soldiers who were constantly charging and trying to get close to the coalition forces stopped swarming forward. Fire flashed again in the blood mist, and the high-speed explosive insects broke through the mist one after another and landed accurately in the coalition army formation, as if they had encountered a rocket artillery bombardment.
The battle line that had been well maintained collapsed almost in an instant. The exploding fireballs formed a slowly advancing barrage, and countless soldiers were swallowed by the flames before they could retreat.
The form of the Demonic Mosquito Warrior also began to change. One pair of its limbs swelled and twisted, and a crack appeared in the palm of its four-clawed hand, revealing a black, bloody protruding cyst tube.
The next moment, there was a continuous sound of breaking wind in the air, and flames burst out from the sac tube, shooting out spiral fang-shaped spikes.
The transition from melee combat to long-range combat was completed in a simple collective evolution. Dense barrage of fangs fell on the coalition forces like hail, catching the coalition soldiers who were still shocked by the explosion off guard.
The immortal-grade armor worn by the heavenly soldiers and generals could not effectively resist the high-speed fangs of the foreigners. The fangs were covered with bright red poisonous blood. The armor contaminated with the poisonous blood quickly decayed, and the immortal spirit dissipated in an instant.
"Oh no! It's a trap. We've been lured into a trap!"
Bodhisattva Guanyin said anxiously: "The demon soldiers have not only been strengthened, but also have many more types than before. Previously, we only let the combat soldiers charge blindly in order to paralyze our army and lead us deep into the enemy camp so that we can encircle and annihilate them in one fell swoop."
Although they were caught off guard by the change in formation of the demon soldiers and were overwhelmed by the dense rain of bullets and bombardment, the coalition forces quickly reacted and reorganized their formation.
The monks chanted the Vajra Mantra to hold up the Golden Bell Shield, and the heavenly soldiers and generals also turned the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers into shields and held them in front of them.
The three great Bodhisattvas manifested their golden bodies of Buddha light, and countless golden giant palms condensed in the air.
The giant palm grabbed the flying bomb bug, pinched it in the palm, and let the flames explode in the palm, helping the coalition forces to withstand the artillery bombardment with a very large killing range.
The demon soldiers that evolved long-range weapons evolved again. Some of them swelled in size, and honeycomb-like tissue grew on their backs. Small exploding insects were bred and grew in the honeycombs, spewing flames and automatically searching for targets as if they had eyes. They flew into the crowd of coalition soldiers and exploded.
Another part of the demon soldiers developed other characteristics. The compound eyes on their heads continued to differentiate and grow, and soon spread all over their bodies. Then all the compound eyes glowed red, and shot out a conical light beam focused on one point. This light beam could pass through the translucent shadow of the Vajra Mantra Golden Bell and directly hit the bodies of the monks.
Pustules appeared on the bodies of the reinforcements hit by the light beam, and large areas of flesh became necrotic. Granulation tissue grew in the necrotic areas, which grew randomly and differentiated into various strange clumps of flesh and blood.
The small exploding bugs shot into the crowd and exploded, leaving behind a layer of green pus. The ground stained by the pus sizzled with white smoke and soon corroded into pits.
After all, the large shield transformed by the Ruyi Immortal Soldier could not cover the entire body. Many soldiers were contaminated by the exploded pus, and their skin became ulcerated and blackened as if splashed with acid.
Everything happened so quickly that Huang Tianhua did not have time to order the entire army to respond, and the coalition forces were caught in an extremely dangerous situation.
Only then did he understand that those mindless charging demon soldiers were just basic embryonic templates, just like the jade token of Ruyi Immortal Soldier, which could change shape at any time according to need.
