In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Chapter 633 Please enter the urn

"Vice Commander Shui is right. Please make a decision as soon as possible, Commander!"

“Continuing to drag this out will only make things worse for us,” Chi Huo and Lady Meng Hua also spoke up.

"Since you've all said so, then heading towards Li Huo City is fine. However, before that, it would be best to scout ahead and confirm the movements of the moths ahead."

"I wonder which of you is willing to go?" Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the four people.

Upon hearing this, the faces of Deputy Commander Shui and the others froze, and they all fell silent.

At this point, leaving the main force and entering the insect swarm would be an absolute death sentence!

Seeing everyone's expressions, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He then looked at Deputy Commander Shui and said, "Fellow Daoist Shui, how about I trouble you to do this for me?"

Lu Yuan's reason for requesting to scout ahead was to take the opportunity to separate the four of them. If the one surnamed Shui refused to go, then he would have an excuse to cause trouble.

Upon hearing this, Deputy Commander Shui's expression changed slightly at first, but after exchanging a few meaningful glances with the three commanders, he surprisingly agreed to Lu Yuan's request: "In that case, I, Shui, will make the trip."

"Okay, how many people do you need?"

"No need for that trouble. It will be more convenient for me to go myself. Having more people will only get in the way," Deputy Commander Shui said, trying to appear calm. He then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the crowd. "However, if I happen to encounter any danger, I hope you will all come to my rescue in time."

After saying that, he flashed out of the formation and disappeared instantly into the crowded insect shadows.

The deputy commander was gone for more than half an hour, and no news came back.

Wen Qizi and the other two gradually showed signs of anxiety, constantly glancing towards the sea of ​​insects. Lu Yuan, however, remained calm, secretly hoping that the man surnamed Shui was already dead in the sea of ​​insects.

Just as everyone was feeling uneasy, a golden light suddenly broke through the layers of insect shadows and began to hover outside the formation.

"Oh no, it's a warning signal from Deputy Commander Shui!" Wen Qizi exclaimed in alarm, his face filled with panic.

"That's right, he used the supernatural power of the Illusion Mirror. He even used this treasure. Deputy Commander Shui is very likely already in dire straits!" Chi Huo said urgently.

"A warning?"

“It seems the danger ahead is far greater than expected. Since even Deputy Commander Lian Shui is already in dire straits, if the army forces its way forward…” Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

"What does the Grand Commander mean by this! Are you not going to rescue Deputy Commander Shui?!" Madam Menghua disregarded everything else and looked at Lu Yuan with her eyebrows raised.

"I have to take responsibility for the entire legion. As for Deputy Commander Shui, he can only rely on himself." Lu Yuan sighed, looking helpless.

What? You're not going to save them?

"He was ordered by you, Commander-in-Chief, to scout ahead and that's how he got trapped!" Wen Qizi's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"So what? With the legion's current strength, rushing there will only increase casualties. Even if we can get there in time, it will probably be too late." Lu Yuan's gaze was firm, unmoved.

"But given your cultivation level, Commander-in-Chief, it's not impossible for you to make a move!"

"As the commander-in-chief of the legion, how can I leave so easily?" Lu Yuan simply closed his eyes and ignored everyone.

"you!"

"it is good!"

"Since the Grand Commander is unwilling to take action, then the three of us will go ourselves!" Madam Menghua said angrily.

Wen Qizi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "That's right, we'll risk our lives to try!"

Although Chi Huo hesitated, he slowly stepped forward.

"Are you trying to disobey orders?" Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, his voice carrying a hint of coldness.

“Deputy Commander Shui has an ancestor at the Demon Lord level in the Land of Origin, so the Grand Commander may not be afraid. But if word gets out that we didn’t come to his aid today, the three of us cannot withstand the wrath of a Demon Lord,” Wen Qizi said expressionlessly.

Lu Yuan's expression tightened slightly, realizing that Wen Qizi and the other two didn't seem to be faking it. He secretly weighed the situation and concluded that the legion still needed their command and coordination.

After a moment of contemplation, he coldly said, "Since that's the case, I, the commander, will go. Although I may not be able to save them, at least I can give you an explanation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan instantly rushed out of the formation. After absorbing the golden spiritual light outside the formation into his palm, his demonic energy surged like an abyss. He unleashed the power of his blood sword and demonic spear, forcefully cleaving a gap in the insect swarm. Wherever he passed, the moths exploded and died.

Inside the formation, Wen Qizi and the other two kept a close eye on Lu Yuan's figure as he gradually ventured deeper into the sea of ​​insects. After he completely disappeared from sight, the three of them exchanged glances, a cold glint flashing in their eyes.

“It’s not appropriate for the Grand Commander to go alone. The three of us have decided to follow up and provide support. We will unleash the full power of the formation. You will be in charge of stabilizing the situation here for now.”

After giving instructions to the remaining twenty or thirty divine generals, Wen Qizi, together with Chi Huo Menghua and the other two, erected a protective shield and transformed into a stream of light, rushing into the sea of ​​insects.

Within the sea of ​​insects, the surrounding moths swarmed in, only to be shattered by the surging demonic energy emanating from Lu Yuan. Following the aura of the warning talisman, Lu Yuan unleashed all his treasures, his blood sword and demonic spear casting countless afterimages as he raced forward, cutting through thorns and brambles.

It wasn't that Lu Yuan really wanted to save the guy surnamed Shui. On the contrary, he wanted to eliminate him completely before Wen Qizi and the other two caught up, thus preventing any future trouble, because Lu Yuan had already sensed that Wen Qizi and the other two were right behind him.

After fighting through the sea of ​​insects for about half an hour, Lu Yuan suddenly sensed a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from ahead, as if there were sounds of fierce fighting.

Could it be just ahead?

Lu Yuan was overjoyed and estimated the distance between himself and Wen Qizi and the other two.

With their cultivation and supernatural abilities, it would take them some time to arrive. As long as he acted quickly enough, he could eliminate them before they arrived. Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with cold light. He activated his demonic power and sped towards the source of the spiritual energy fluctuations. His blood sword and demonic spear were poised to strike, and his killing intent spread out like a tangible force.

However, in just a few breaths, a golden light suddenly appeared in front of him, rapidly heading towards Lu Yuan.

As the golden light drew closer, it was revealed to be the Deputy Commander of the Water Realm, surrounded by a layer of dazzling golden light.

Behind it, hundreds of mid-level moths were hot on its heels.

Before Lu Yuan could make a move, he saw that the water deputy commander's speed suddenly increased several times, and in the blink of an eye, he overtook Lu Yuan and rushed towards the formation.

And as the two figures passed each other, Deputy Commander Shui turned to look back, a strange smile flashing across his lips.

Lu Yuan felt a sudden sense of alarm, and his demonic eyes narrowed slightly—this didn't seem to be a cry for help, but rather an invitation to fall into a trap!

Because the mid-level moths that had been following closely had lost their target, they had taken the opportunity to pounce on Lu Yuan!

In an instant, Lu Yuan snorted coldly, stopping his movement as his demonic energy surged three feet. As his blood sword swept across, countless sharp sword beams burst forth, sweeping towards the oncoming mid-level moths like a storm.

Taking advantage of this opening, Lu Yuan turned around and chased after Deputy Commander Shui with a murderous look on his face.

However, the golden light wielded by the Deputy Commander Shui was incredibly fast, always maintaining a distance of over a thousand feet. Even though Lu Yuan was in hot pursuit, he still found it difficult to close the gap.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan made a hand seal, and the demonic spear in front of him transformed into a black rainbow that shot out, instantly spanning a thousand feet and pointing directly at the back of the deputy commander!

However, the golden light protecting the deputy commander suddenly intensified, blocking all the attacks of the demonic spear and even using the force to widen the distance by several hundred feet.

Lu Yuan roared angrily, and his body crackled as he transformed into the Azure Phoenix demon form.

With a flap of its enormous phoenix wings, a gale howled, and Lu Yuan's speed suddenly increased. The flapping of its wings created a fierce gust of wind, and Lu Yuan pursued it like a streak of blue lightning.

Although the deputy commander of the water force was able to escape at great speed using the golden light, he was ultimately no match for the enraged Azure Phoenix demon.

As the distance between them gradually closed, the water deputy commander suddenly paused, abruptly changed direction, and dodged left and right in the sea of ​​insects, seemingly trying to use his agility to escape the pursuit.

Although Lu Yuan's transformed Azure Phoenix demon body was large, it could still shrink its body. Even if it sacrificed some speed, it could still nimbly move through the gaps in the insect swarm.

The two chased each other for a short while, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, due to the water deputy commander's frequent changes of direction, a large number of mid-level moths that had been left behind caught up, and the two were once again plunged into an even denser swarm of insects.

Just as Lu Yuan was considering whether to use the "One Breath Ten Thousand Miles" supernatural power of the Azure Phoenix Demon Body to completely cut off its retreat, the deputy commander of the Water Sect, who was in front, suddenly turned around abruptly, and a small, ancient mirror the size of a palm flew out from his body, swaying in the wind and transforming into a clear, cold full moon.

Then, after a burst of light, hundreds of golden beams shot out instantly, heading straight for Lu Yuan.
