Lu Liang heard this and smiled, then instantly turned into a beam of light and disappeared.
"Brother Zhou, the early Nascent Soul stage and the middle Nascent Soul stage, is the gap in combat power truly this vast?" Huo Qiuzhe asked in confusion!
...
Hearing this, Zhou Xinglai smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "It's just a small gap in realms, the combat power couldn't possibly be this disproportionate..."
"The main reason is that fellow Daoist Lu is unfathomable, his strength is far beyond our comparison." Zhou Xinglai said with a strange look in his eyes as he watched Lu Liang, who had long since disappeared.
"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Lu's cultivation in the Way of Ice is such that even a late Nascent Soul stage great cultivator would likely retreat three feet." As he spoke, a hint of envy flashed across Huo Qiuzhe's face.
"However, this is also a good thing for us. The stronger our comrades are, the easier it will be for us." Zhou Xinglai said!
...
"What you said makes sense. Forget it, no matter how strong Fellow Daoist Lu is, it's his own business and doesn't concern us much."
"Let's think about how to deal with the remnants left by that scoundrel Hong Tongtian, especially his son, we must not let him escape." Huo Qiuzhe saw that Zhou Xinglai didn't want to discuss the matter further, so he let it go and changed the subject!
"Brother Huo means..." Zhou Xinglai asked, his eyes flashing with a sharp light!
"It's very simple, we do this... then this... and finally this..." In the command center, Zhou Xinglai and Huo Qiuzhe's voices suddenly lowered by a third, vaguely discussing something.
On the other side!
After returning to the Lu mansion, Lu Liang simply told Wu Tao in a few soft words that the matter was resolved and he no longer had to worry. Although Wu Tao didn't know that Lu Liang had finished off Hong Tongtian with a single strike, he could guess that Hong Tongtian's fate was likely not good. Therefore, Wu Tao didn't ask any further questions.
...
Because the current situation outside was chaotic, and as one of the commanders of the East City Gate, he had no energy to manage other matters!
The Blood Clan army outside Tongguan City had been acting strangely recently. The two sides, who had previously been in tacit understanding, had suddenly changed. Due to various reasons in the past, both Tongguan City and the Blood Clan army outside the city did not want to end the war quickly, so they kept delaying, and a decisive victory was never achieved. But now, for some unknown reason, this Blood Clan army seemed to be serious this time.
In the central army camp of the Blood Clan's hundreds of thousands of troops, three late Duke stage great cultivators who had not made a move since arriving outside Tongguan City were discussing matters. The three were two men and one woman. The woman was named Xue Letou, and the two men were Xue Zhongsheng and Xue Zhuzi!
"Sister Le, the Supreme King has ordered that the war is tight and we are not to slack off or be lazy here!"
"The decree also stated that if Tongguan City is not destroyed within three months, a Blood King will personally come to deal with us!"
"What should we do now? If that Blood King comes, even if we don't die, we'll lose a layer of skin!" Xue Zhuzi said with a grim expression!
It turned out that Xue Letou, Xue Zhongsheng, and Xue Zhuzi were afraid of being used as cannon fodder by their race... Therefore, they had reached a certain consensus with Xie Wen, the city lord of Tongguan City, to continue fighting lukewarmly until the end of the war.
...
Xue Letou, wearing a sexy red dress, had a very serious expression on her face.
"Don't worry, since the old men have said so, I don't plan to hold back anymore!"
"My Gluttonous Blood Beast has reached the middle Duke stage, and with the three of us, plus the help of countless fellow Daoists, I don't believe we can't take down this small Tongguan City in three months." Xue Letou in the red dress said solemnly.
...
Seeing Xue Letou agree, Xue Zhuzi turned his gaze to Xue Zhongsheng!
"Brother Zhong, things are different now. Don't hoard your Yin-Yang Blood Corpse!"
"Although we are several times stronger than Tongguan City in terms of numbers and combat power, the formation of Tongguan City is too powerful. If we don't work together, we can't break through this city..."
"Alright, to avoid punishment, I'm willing to release the Yin-Yang Blood Corpse to attack the city!" Seeing Xue Letou and Xue Zhuzi looking at him, Xue Zhongsheng rubbed his nose and said after a moment of hesitation.
Before Xue Letou and Xue Zhongsheng could speak, Xue Zhuzi took the initiative to say, "Next, I will bring out my special ban-breaking orbs to enhance the army's ban-breaking ability!"
"If the human cultivators in Tongguan City still think our army is the same as before, they will be greatly surprised."
...
Hearing Xue Zhuzi's words, Xue Letou and Xue Zhongsheng nodded with satisfaction.
...
The next day!
The rumbling sound of war drums could be heard, and the blood-red Blood Clan army, like a red tide, advanced from afar, encircling Tongguan City tightly. This time, however, it was no longer the low-level blood beasts that were at the forefront!
A Gluttonous Blood Beast, tens of thousands of feet in size, with four eyes, black skin, a long neck, and four legs, was ridden by a beautiful young woman who looked about eighteen years old. This woman was stunningly beautiful, but there was a subtle murderous aura in her eyes, making her look formidable. She was Xue Letou!
The other two late Duke stage great cultivators, Xue Zhongsheng and Xue Zhuzi, were on either side!
...
"I never thought that the day of the decisive battle would arrive so soon." City Lord Xie Wen, carrying a fiery red case on his back, also appeared on the city wall. At this moment, all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators in Tongguan City were on high alert on the city wall. It turned out that early in the morning, the patrolling cultivators of Tongguan City saw that the Blood Clan's central army camp opposite them first flashed with spiritual light, and then a thunderous roar of drums sounded! They knew that the Blood Clan bastards might be serious and immediately informed the high command of Tongguan City.
About half an hour later, all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of Tongguan City had ascended the city wall! A bell sound, representing a warning, echoed out, and then the cultivator army emerged from the camp, transforming into countless streaks of light that shot up into the sky, covering the city wall and making preparations. For a time, various colored spiritual lights and fleeing lights filled the sky above Tongguan City! The sound of clear chirps and long cries rose and fell! Compared to the imposing Blood Clan army, Tongguan City was inferior in both momentum and strength. The initial tacit understanding of exerting little effort and dragging on the war had changed due to the upheaval on the Blood Clan side.
...
The two sides had not yet engaged, but the heaven-shattering killing intent that rose into the sky permeated the space between them. At this moment, Wu Tao was directing a squadron of over a hundred cultivators to adjust the positions of several Heaven Crystal Giant Cannons, aiming them at the direction of the Blood Clan army below Tongguan City! The Heaven Crystal Giant Cannons were one of Tongguan City's trump cards that had been hidden for a long time. They had not been used before, but now that the Blood Clan army was getting serious, the high command of Tongguan City did not hesitate and immediately moved these Heaven Crystal Giant Cannons to the city wall. It was said that the power displayed by these Heaven Crystal Giant Cannons was not much inferior to that of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. He looked coldly at the Blood Clan army in the distance.
At a glance, the blood-red light on the opposite side formed a continuous expanse, and under the blood-red light, it was all Blood Clan troops! And these blood-red lights stretched for over a thousand miles. It was clear that the Blood Clan had deployed its main force. Although the exact numbers could not be estimated, at least over 400,000 main forces were gathered here. And the total number of cultivators in Tongguan City was only about 100,000. As for the over 100 million mortals in Tongguan City, they were of little use in a war where divine abilities and magical treasures flew everywhere. However, although the Blood Clan had the advantage in numbers and strength! The Blood Clan's advantage was not as great as imagined. The most numerous were the blood beasts used as cannon fodder and shields! As for the more than 10,000 blood clan members scattered among the blood beast army, although they all wore blood-colored robes, their magical artifacts and treasures were all of only a few simple types! They were either treasure sabers or flying swords, but most of them were clubs, and rare were the magical artifacts and treasures of the Qimen category.
...
On the cultivator side, although the clothes of the cultivator army were different, the magical artifacts in their hands were diverse, with everything imaginable, but the bow and arrow type magical artifacts were the most common. It was evident at a glance how terrifying the power of these magical artifacts could be under the protection of Tongguan City's formation. These magical artifacts, shimmering and radiating spiritual energy, were clearly far superior to those of the Blood Clan, which was an advantage for the human race. In addition, Tongguan City also had treasure-level Hundred Arrow War Chariots, whose arrow rain was specifically designed to break through the thick hides of blood beasts.
...
In the Blood Clan army on the opposite side, the most troublesome and eye-catching were not the blood clan members, but the dozens of abnormally massive divine beast-level blood beasts among the Blood Clan army. They were mixed in the front ranks of the blood beast army, their bodies resembling small mountains, and their cultivation was at least Earl stage, making them extremely conspicuous! Many human cultivators had witnessed the might of these divine beast-level blood beasts.
...
Therefore, they cast many glances at these divine beast-level blood beasts, with a hint of fear in their eyes.
