War never gives anyone a chance to complain or stay.
The pressure on the fourth line of defense is greater than anyone imagined.
Almost every three hours, there will be an attack by the demon army. The overwhelming demon tide is like a mountain range, crashing into the imperial guard's light curtain.
Nearly 10,000 people are killed or injured every day.
This is the minimum casualty cost that can be achieved when the Xuanwu battle formation on the fourth line of defense is so dense.
Behind Li Changan's defense line, a new defense line has begun to be deployed, and the distance is only one mile.
Reinforcements from the rear are constantly coming.
However, the battle formation ahead was extremely consuming, and there was no time to repair the Xuanwu Battle Formation.
The air is filled with a strong smell of monsters and blood, which makes people almost collapse.
Even the clouds in mid-air showed a strange purple-red color.
The power of heaven and earth in the battlefield of Three Thousand Miles has been completely polluted by demonic energy.
Scholars and warriors on the battlefield can only use Wenjing or True Essence Stone to recover.
Battle losses were huge.
Li Changan has no such worries, he can swallow even the demon pill.
At this time, he was staring at the monster army ten miles ahead, covering the sky and the sun, attacking the imperial light curtain day and night.
"The demon clan deliberately kept these corpses in order to pollute the power of heaven and earth in the Three Thousand Miles Battlefield, so that we had to consume the True Essence Stone and Wen Jing to restore it."
Zhou Ziyu held the True Essence Stone in his hand and spat.
After fighting on the battlefield of Three Thousand Miles for such a long time, his fighting experience increased rapidly.
Coupled with the almost non-stop supply of True Essence Stones, he reached the level of a seventh-grade peak martial artist in a short period of time.
Annan also held Wen Jing in his hand, always ready to activate the Xuanwu battle formation, "I estimate that the front line of defense will soon be unable to hold on."
"We can no longer retreat at this time. If I were the one, I would definitely attack." Zhou Ziyu carried a spear on his shoulder.
"You should be made the commander-in-chief and have a decisive battle with the demon clan!" Annan said.
At this moment, the rapid sound of war drums sounded.
Li Changan immediately drew out the Hengyue Sword, and Zhou Ziyu also immediately tightened his grip on the spear.
"Finally a bloody order!" Zhou Ziyu shouted to Li Changan.
"Let's go! Change defense." Li Changan shouted lowly, and the three of them immediately rushed forward.
The new line of defense behind him has been deployed, and now he has something to rely on when he rushes forward to withstand the change of defense.
If something goes wrong when switching defenses, it is very likely that the entire defensive light curtain will collapse.
Don't make a single mistake.
Now that we had support, the order from the top immediately spread throughout the second line of defense.
Hundreds of thousands of scribes and warriors rushed forward almost instantly.
A group of scribes and warriors at the front line pushed forward, while the remaining people quickly retreated to the second line of defense to complete their rotation.
Li Changan clenched the Hengyue Sword in his hand and couldn't help tightening his throat as he looked at the monster army so close at hand.
Too many.
It was so dense that it covered the sky and the ground, and its ferocious and ugly appearance was clearly visible, making people almost want to vomit.
"Brother Li, don't be afraid, I will protect you later." Annan's voice came from behind.
Li Changan turned his head and took a look at his face, which was obviously brighter than when he first met. His eyes paused on the slightly tilted chin that looked like a foxy one, and then he smiled and said,
"Protect me? Don't worry, you don't have this chance."
Annan felt a little panicked by Li Changan's eyes, "You... just wait."
Li Changan shrugged, turned his head and stared forward again, "If you can't hold on anymore, be sure to say it. Holding on will only cause big problems."
"Don't use grammar indiscriminately, save your literary style."
"With Brother Zhou and me here, it's usually not your turn to take action."
"That's embarrassing." Annan rolled his eyes at Li Changan's back.
Zhou Ziyu smiled at Li Changan and said, "Brother Li, just learn from me later!"
Li Changan raised his lips and said, "Okay, Zhou Jiaoyu."
"That's a good title." Zhou Ziyu laughed and said, "I will definitely get a teaching edict when I go back."
The brutal fighting is right in front of you.
Endless pressure is weighing on everyone's hearts.
After such a joke, Li Changan's nervousness finally dissipated a little.
"Prepare!"
"Scribes go to rotate first!"
"Follow me, martial artist!"
…
A very long sound exploded not far away.
Even more terrifying pressure dropped like a tide.
"Prepare!"
"ten!"
"Nine!"
…
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"Change!"
Before he finished speaking, Annan rushed out first.
When the replacement of scribes was completed, there was no problem with the guarding light curtain. After the scribes in front retreated, the warriors behind them rushed forward instantly.
Li Changan nodded towards Zhou Ziyu, and the two of them quickly moved forward.
"roar!"
"Bah!"
…
The roar of the monster army rushed directly to his eyes, and Li Changan could even smell the stench of these monsters.
A huge black bear, a foot tall, was about to squeeze half of its body into the imperial guard's light curtain.
The rising brilliance cut its body crazily, and blood surged wildly.
Behind the black bear, demon clans bumped into it one after another, forcing it into the imperial guard's light curtain.
The black bear's body was covered with wounds and dripping with blood. Such injuries completely aroused its ferocity. It shook its body and roared towards Annan.
"Pfft!"
With one sharp cut, the black bear's huge body was cut in half like a cloth bag.
Li Changan inserted his hand into the corpse, grabbed the demon pill and put it into the Xumi treasure bag, then threw the black bear's corpse out and hit the wild boar demon that had just rushed in.
The whole movement was smooth and fluid and took only the blink of an eye.
On the battlefield, no one noticed Li Changan's action of grabbing the demon pill.
Li Changan exerted force under his feet, inserting the Hengyue knife into the mouth of the furious wild boar demon and turning it slightly to the right.
With the help of the powerful inertia of the wild boar demon, the wild boar demon was directly cut into two pieces.
"They are all in the early stage of seventh grade, and even the demon elixir has just been condensed." Li Changan felt the demon elixir in his hand and curled his lips in displeasure.
This group of monsters, relying on the tactics of the sea of monsters, can really defeat all kinds of magic.
The guarding light curtain is still strong, and basically only two or three monsters rush in for every hundred monsters.
But there are too many monsters who can't resist it, so many that it makes one's scalp numb.
The knife in Li Changan's hand rarely rested, and his body was soon stained red by the blood of the demon clan.
One after another, the demon clan was hacked to death, and the demon clan behind them rushed in one after another.
Zhou Ziyu's spear was also replaced by a horse-killing sword.
More and more monster corpses were piled at the feet.
The earth rumbled and trembled, and there were earth dragons trying to get in underground, but they were blocked by the guard's light curtain.
Had to collide from the front.
Li Changan stabbed out the imperial guard's light curtain with a knife, and instantly rushed forward, with half of his body rushing out.
The light of the sword rose from the Hengyue sword and split the two-foot-long earth dragon in half vertically from the middle.
Then when other monsters rushed over, they retreated back to the guarding light curtain.
"You don't want your life!?" Zhou Ziyu shouted at Li Changan.
"This kind of thing is too annoying. The sooner you die, the better." Li Changan shook off the blood on Heng Yue's knife.
With the two of them joining forces, hundreds of monsters couldn't get even five feet in front of Annan.
The fight lasted from dawn to dusk.
The demon army finally retreated slowly.
Li Changan let out a long breath, looked at the demon army retreating like a tide, shook off the blood stains on Heng Yue's sword, and sheathed the sword.
Finally... blocked a wave of attacks.
Next to her, Zhou Ziyu sat down on the ground, ignoring the pool of blood on the ground, grabbing the True Essence Stone and starting to recover.
Li Changan looked at Annan behind him and smiled.
Annan leaned against the Xuanwu battle formation with a smile on his face.
"This is called brothers working together as one, and their strength can break through metal." Zhou Ziyu said with a cheerful smile.
Li Changan inspected the monster corpses one by one, and then threw them out of the imperial light curtain.
After cleaning up, he leaned casually on the mound next to the imperial guard light curtain, holding the Hengyue Sword and putting it in his arms with both hands.
Most martial artists also have similar movements.
But Li Changan already held two demon pills in his hand.
"Dragon Elephant Xuan Gong" operates quietly, and the demon power in the demon pill flows along the palm of the hand and quickly pours into the body, accumulating strength for opening the next acupoint.
The closer you get to the front line, the stronger your demonic power becomes. Even if you have demonic energy dissipating from your body, no one will suspect you.
The twenty-seven dragon elephant inner elixirs in the body are constantly rotating, and the dark black martial arts energy surges in the body, swallowing up all the demonic purple medicinal power.
…
The attack of the demon army is extremely regular and seems to have no end.
Casualties on the front line were increasing.
Li Changan cooperated with Zhou Ziyu and Annan, taking turns to defend.
I was a little nervous at the beginning, but later I became accustomed to it, even a little numb.
Every time he blocks the attack of the demon army, he reaps the rewards.
I dare not say too much, but I can harvest hundreds of demon pills every time.
To other people, the demon pill is no more than poison, but to Li Changan, it is a precious medicine for cultivation.
——————
Half a month later,
Li Changan came down from the front line, and the palm he put in his arms was always holding the demon pill.
The demon power in five consecutive demon pills was swallowed up, and the demon pills shattered and turned into debris.
Li Changan's body trembled slightly, and in the depths of his pair of red phoenix eyes as deep as ink, a strange purple color flashed away.
The fortieth acupoint, open.
A wave of power surged through the body.
A brand new black dragon-elephant inner elixir quietly took shape, and quickly devoured the demonic power, growing stronger.
Forty dragon-elephant inner elixirs are scattered in forty acupoints throughout the body, constantly cleansing the martial arts energy and quietly improving Li Changan's physical body.
With the power of forty acupuncture points, without relying on fighting skills and grammar, his physical body alone has a huge strength of 4,500 kilograms.
Although the aura of "Dragon Elephant Xuan Gong" is still in the mid-seventh level.
But it is already comparable to the average seventh-grade peak, and even surpasses it.
The improvement of his foundation has allowed Li Changan's combat power to rise again.
On the mutton-fat jade book, the combat power number of Zhanfeng Daoyi has become "forty-one", which is worthy of entering the early stage of the sixth level.
It is comparable to the combat power unleashed by ordinary Huang-level geniuses.
The murderous arrows are advancing by leaps and bounds.
Tens of thousands of monsters died in his hands in more than half a month, and the murderous intent accumulated was even more unimaginable.
Ten silver arrows with murderous intent have been condensed, and the combat power number on the mutton-fat jade book has reached "forty-three."
It is no longer just the combat power that can reach the early stage of the sixth level, but when combined together, it is enough to explode the extreme combat power of the early stage of the sixth level.
Among the Huang-level geniuses, he can be said to be invincible.
Going even higher is the level of Xuanjiao Tianjiao.
"Brother Li...what happened just now?" Annan, who focused most of his attention on Li Changan, asked in surprise.
"It's nothing." Li Changan smiled and shook his head, "I was thinking about my sword skills and was a little distracted."
"As expected of Brother Li, with this kind of motivation in cultivation, no wonder he has made rapid progress." Zhou Ziyu came over and put his arm around Li Changan's shoulders.
The three of them retreated to the back to make repairs.
The front line has been prepared to face the next wave of demon army's attack.
"In the past half month, 30,000 people have died, 50,000 have been seriously injured, and 100,000 have suffered minor injuries. If this continues, I will really be unable to hold on any longer."
A martial artist said softly not far away.
"There are reinforcements behind us. In the past half month, the fourth line of defense has been rock solid and there have been no problems." Other warriors said.
"I'm talking about supplies. True Essence Stone Wenjing, which one is not valuable?"
"At least we can make up for it now. Let's wait until we can't make up for it."
"Don't let the centurion hear you, or you'll get whipped."
…
The pressure on the front line is increasing, and more and more people are being lifted off the front line every day.
Although the reinforcements from the rear never stopped.
But everyone knows that if the fight continues like this, the first one to be unable to hold on will be the Jin Dynasty.
Comparing the numbers with the demon clan is simply asking for death.
Even though the number of Xuanwu battle formations has become so dense that there is one battle formation every five, the rate at which the army is being cannibalized has not decreased.
The atmosphere in the army became more and more depressing, so depressing that I didn't even have the strength to speak.
He just listened to the order, rushed forward again and again, and replaced his comrades who had been fighting for a while.
Either die there, or live to wait for the next group of soldiers to take over.
This kind of persistence without hope makes people feel unprecedentedly tired, both mentally and physically.
But they can't retreat.
From now on, it’s really going to be the final decisive battle.
The so-called decisive battle is just a desperate fight for the Jin Dynasty, and 99% of the time it will be a disastrous defeat.
Miracles... don't seem to exist.
…
Another half month,
Li Chang'an carried Annan off the Xuanwu battle formation from the front line, "You must rest for two days. Don't go on the next rotation."
"No……"
Just as Annan was about to retort, he was stunned by Li Changan's eyes and shut his mouth.
"I said, let other scribes control the Xuanwu battle formation for you." After Li Changan finished speaking, he took out a piece of Wenjing and stuffed it into Annan's hand.
Then he pinched Annan's chin and poured two drops of ice marrow liquid into it.
"You..." Annan wanted to resist, but in front of Li Changan, this little strength was simply not enough.
Annan was so angry that he wanted to bite Li Changan, but Li Changan held his head down, "Why do you act like a bitch and always like to bite people? I'm letting you rest, but I'm not trying to kill you!"
Annan's eyes were red and he stared at Li Changan.
Li Changan simply turned his head, leaned to the side, poured a drop of golden body liquid into his mouth, and began to temper his body.
The further back you go, the more difficult it becomes to open the acupoints. Even if there are enough demon pills, it will be difficult to be as overwhelming as before.
And the more acupoints are opened, the higher the demands on the physical body.
In the next half month, he only opened nine acupoints and could no longer continue.
The physical body seems to have temporarily reached a limit. If the acupoints are forcibly opened again, the physical body may collapse directly.
Although the speed at which the forty-nine dragon-elephant inner elixirs nourish the physical body is far superior to that of fellow warriors, it is still not enough.
So recently Li Changan started to use golden body liquid to temper his body.
Wait until the physical body improves before continuing to open acupoints.
It would be best if you have Ksitigarbha Red Blood Pill, which is a pure qi and blood elixir, most suitable for improving the physical body and enhancing the power of qi and blood.
But it is a pity that under the current situation, trying to arrange an alchemy formation is tantamount to wishful thinking.
During this half month of practice, he cultivated a total of forty-nine dragon-elephant inner elixirs, which provided Li Changan with extremely profound knowledge.
The murderous arrows broke through again, and a total of sixteen silver murderous arrows were smelted. The ultimate combat power has reached the mid-sixth level, but it can only have the power of one blow in an hour.
If it is dispersed into sixteen silver arrows with murderous intent, it will only have the initial level six combat power, but it can shoot sixteen consecutive flying arrows.
In addition, the Wind-Destroying Sword Intent has also reached its ultimate combat power in the early stage of the sixth level.
The improvement is extremely obvious.
But then, such rapid improvement will slow down completely.
The focus must shift to the physical body.
This is the foundation of foundations.
Zhou Ziyu leaned next to Li Changan, his eyes dim and a little confused, "What should we do?"
"It has been blocked for so long, but... it makes people even more desperate."
"The demon army is too numerous... Our casualties have exceeded 300,000. Even if there are reinforcements, there is still no hope."
Li Changan put his arm around Zhou Ziyu's shoulders and patted him, "There will be a way."
Then he took Annan in his arms and said, "No matter what happens, I will take you all back."
"Even if we go back, what should we do about this battle?" Annan closed his eyes and leaned weakly on Li Changan's shoulder.
Li Changan looked at the front line and expressed the idea he had been pondering recently, "If we can't win on the frontal battlefield, is it possible to go around behind enemy lines?"
"If you can't win on the frontal battlefield, what's the use of going around behind enemy lines?" Zhou Ziyu asked.
