Quick Battle

  Overall, the Monster Union has an obvious advantage, and its top combat power is not inferior to the Mountain God Temple under Lin Xuji. Unfortunately, a temporary miscalculation caused them to lose the initiative, coupled with internal friction and lingering problems, each of the demon kings having their own small calculations.

  The advantages possessed by the monsters are hard to manifest, and in terms of chess, this is what is called losing the initiative.

  These years, Lin Xu has been bearing the enormous external pressure and thinking about how to defeat his enemies. When it really came down to a life-or-death situation, he unexpectedly threw away his baggage of not daring to take the initiative to attack, his attitude became extremely tough, without any intention of retreating or compromising.

  As the saying goes, "enemies meet face to face, and their eyes turn red." Even though they were still far apart, as soon as Lin Xu and Huo Shanjun met, their eyes only had each other in them. Laughing loudly, Lin Xu led the charge and drew his Seven-Star Sword, quickly advancing towards Huo Shanjun who was charging at him with a loud roar. The two didn't exchange any words when they met, instead directly using their weapons to greet each other, which could also be considered another form of a life-and-death bond.

  The steel whip of Huo Shan Jun, the Tiger Demon, danced swiftly, with its shadowy tendrils howling in the wind. Lin Xu's sword energy flashed with a white glow, like a blooming white chrysanthemum, and also seemed to be a gigantic hedgehog.

  When the two of them started their one-on-one battle, it was impossible for Yin Bing and Xiao Yao to join in. If they got close, they would either be blown away by the strong winds or directly sliced into pieces by the sword energy. It was truly a restricted area where outsiders were not allowed to enter.

  "Look out, Seven Stars Slashing Demon!"

  After probing each other for several rounds, Lin Xu couldn't bear it and prepared to use his killer move.

  With a loud shout, the hazy sword shadow slowly unfolded in the air, and this scene was dazzling like an open screen of a male peacock. However, this move with a momentum that shook the heavens was just a decoy to attract attention. In this intense fight where others could hardly detect anything unusual, Lin Xu's left hand secretly pressed on an ornament hanging from his waist.

  Among the rough and simple-minded monsters, the meticulous and clever Huo Shan Jun was an outcast, its intelligence not inferior to that of humans.

  As soon as Lin Xu made a slight movement, Huo Shanjun immediately intensified the fierce attack of his steel whip. No matter how powerful the magic treasure was, if it wasn't given the chance to be used by the opponent, then having it was the same as not having it at all.

  But unexpectedly, Lin Xu, who had been seen through by his opponent, smiled slightly and loudly shouted:

  "Surprise attack!"

  As soon as the voice fell, Lin Xu's badge-like object hanging from his waist shone brightly and flashed, and the 500 elite dark troops who had entered the Tiger Token earlier, along with General Wang Liang, appeared in response to the call, surrounding Huo Shanjun, who was still dueling with Lin Xu, in three layers inside and three layers outside.

  Similarly obtained from Ling Xuzi's treasure trove, the nameless tiger tally has the ability to garrison troops. Although it doesn't look impressive, at this moment Lin Xu is using it as a tool for implementing beheading tactics.

  Huo Shan Jun had no idea that his opponent still had this trick up their sleeve. No matter how cunning and experienced they were, they would never have thought that they would be instantly surrounded by the enemy army in an instant. One wrong move, and everything is lost. This time, Huo Shan Jun's prospects are likely to be grim.

  Other demon kings watching from a distance saw their own ally surrounded by the enemy, but they didn't seem to be in a hurry to come and rescue him. Instead, they continued to pretend to fight with the dark soldiers. Indeed, Lin Xu, this god of Huo Mountain, was a great threat to the demons. On the other hand, the ambitious Lord Huo was also another threat. If the demon kings were responsible for writing the script, then these two guys would have to die together in order to achieve a happy ending, so the demon kings couldn't muster up any interest in coming to rescue Lord Huo.

  Looking around, even if Lord Hoshan was normally fearless, he was now drenched in cold sweat. He raised his hand and pointed at Lin Xu with his steel whip, shouting:

  "You shameless coward, actually resorting to such underhanded tactics."

  At the sound, Lin Xu's nose was almost crooked with anger, and he also scolded Ho Shan Jun without being polite:

  "Oh, a despicable and base character like you dares to accuse me? It's truly the case of a crow laughing at a pig for being black."

  This dull lawsuit is bound to have no result, how could Mr. Huoshan not understand such a simple truth? It's just an excuse to buy some time.

  After giving the agreed signal, preparing to summon his elite troops to come and assist, suddenly saw Mr. Huoshan shouting loudly with full energy, saying:

  "Where is Hu Wei?"

  Seeing this, Lin Xu coldly smiled. He could naturally see that Huo Shanjun was stalling for time, but stalling was also beneficial to the Mountain God Temple's side, so he pretended not to know. At this point, having already made preparations, he no longer needed to engage in empty pleasantries with Huo Shanjun.

  At this moment, Lin Xu's fingers moved swiftly as if they were brushes, leaving a faint golden mark in the air where his fingers had passed. His other hand formed a seal, pointing at Ho Shan Jun with an icy tone:

  "Exhaust all laws, shatter the dark thunder!"

  A faint, dim white light appeared at the tip of Lin Xu's finger and immediately appeared on He Shan Jun's body as well. Even though he wasn't clear what move his opponent was using, from a beast's survival instincts, He Shan Jun only felt his scalp exploding, all the hairs on his body seemingly trembling together.

  At that moment, a loud roar, the crimson armor on Huo Shanjun's body emitted a red mist, as if it was on fire. At the same time, a flash of lightning illuminated the sky, and a deafening thunderclap shook the earth.

  "Boom!"

  With the momentum of thunder and lightning, a silver-white thunderbolt descended from the sky, hitting Ho Shan Jun right in the middle. In an instant, his sturdy and robust body was engulfed by a dazzling white light that was piercing to the eyes.

  In Xian Tao and Shen Tao, the thunder method is mostly in the form of mantra, asking the gods of the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Realm to descend with thunder.

  Nowadays, this piece of land has already entered a state of drifting away from the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, and the old thunder law has also become unreliable, it's simply become a laughing stock.

  The power of the outdated Lei Fa is not worth mentioning, but every time it's used, one has to gamble with their reputation, which is already unbearable. As a result, under the promotion of cultivators, another new type of Lei Fa that can be called "Empathy" replaced the old-fashioned Please God Lei Fa. The principle of this new technique is extremely simple, that is, the caster regards himself as one side of the universe, operates his thoughts in his body, simulates the changes of the four seasons, and finally uses his magical power to trigger a real response from nature, thereby launching a thunder attack. At this moment, the Yin Xiao Lei Fa performed by Lin Xu also belongs to this category in a broad sense.

  Although in the eyes of ordinary people who are not familiar with the subtleties, gods and immortals seem to be the same thing, but in fact they are quite different.

  The Tiānshén and Dìqí are distinct from the common Buddhist and Taoist practitioners who seek immortality and enlightenment, as well as the advanced professional immortals and Buddhas. The intrinsic differences between these different systems are no less than those between dolphins and sharks.

  Heaven's mandate, the gods are undoubtedly civil servants who perform various professional duties between heaven and earth. As long as they work hard, they will receive the blessings and protection of a corner of heaven and earth. In addition to this, the wishes of all living beings are also the protective charm for the gods' safety and well-being. To put it bluntly, before the wishes are exhausted, the gods do not have the problem of running out of power. As long as the wishes can still meet the needs, the recovery power of the gods is also boundless. Even the high and low attack power when taking action can be determined by the amount of divine power attached, with the maximum output method being called "Divine Punishment".

  On the battlefield surrounding Jiufeng Town, the vengeful spirits of small demons and their unrelenting resentment can be seen everywhere. In contrast, within Jiufeng Town at the core of the battlefield, the fear of the demon's massacre has condensed into a massive killing aura among the hundreds of thousands of human residents.

  Lin Xu took advantage of these favorable external factors, sparing no effort to convert nearly half of his stored divine power, using it to unleash the dark and ominous thunder that gathered all the dark forces.

  Without a doubt, Lin Xu was determined to kill Huo Shan Jun on the spot this time, no matter how much it cost him. His blow had almost reached the boundary of divine punishment in terms of power.

  As it absorbed the negative energy that permeated the battlefield, the dark and ominous thunder seemed to take on a life of its own, striking Ho Shan Jun with incredible force. To onlookers, Ho Shan Jun was effortlessly struck down by the torrential white lightning, sent crashing into the ground without so much as a chance to retaliate. As the blindingly bright light faded from view, the spot where Ho Shan Jun once stood reappeared before their eyes. Now, all that remained was a dark and foreboding cave entrance, large swaths of molten earth and stone, and the acrid smell of ozone hanging heavy in the air.

  At this scene, Lin Xu also didn't care whether Huo Shanjun was really dead or not, and loudly shouted:

  "You have heard it clearly, I have already beheaded Lord Hoshan. Those who lay down their arms and surrender will be spared from death."

  Lin Xu's thunderous roar was amplified by divine power, like a clap of thunder that resonated for dozens of miles, making it hard to ignore.

  Upon hearing the news of the alliance leader's defeat, many fierce and reckless demons continued to fight with all their might, while those who were timid or more cunning began to carefully plan their retreat.

  The leader, Big Brother Huo Shan, was struck by a dark and sinister lightning bolt and buried in the mud, his life or death unknown. The monsters who were originally besieging Jiufeng Town according to plan lost their unified command and coordination, and their morale also began to waver. Even if Sun Wu's two military strategists were invited to take charge, it would be impossible to turn the tide of battle, and the final outcome would inevitably be a crushing defeat. As the monsters retreated in disarray like a receding tide, Generals Zhang and Wang launched a pincer movement from inside and outside, leading their troops in a relentless pursuit.

  Lin Xue was motionless, staring at the big hole on the ground, he didn't believe that his arch-nemesis had died so quietly, it was also unfair to the audience.

  "Raaaah! I'm going to get you!"

  "Squeak - Creak Creak!"

  A loud roar filled with resentment and a burst of ear-piercing metal scraping sounds, countless sparks splashed everywhere, instantly covering Lin Xu's entire body.

  At this moment, Huo Shanjun suddenly appeared from under Lin Xu's feet. His body had already completed half of its demonization. As a last resort, this claw was extremely powerful and added a large amount of demonic energy to the attack. At this moment, Huo Shanjun's claws were as sharp as Mo Ye's divine sword. Four deep gashes appeared on Lin Xu's left shoulder, extending down to his right lower abdomen. In an instant, Lin Xu's armor was torn apart by brute force, and the golden blood spewing from his wounds testified to the ferocity of Huo Shanjun's sudden attack.
