Chapter 632: Fierce Battle in the Sea of Insects (5)
"Very good. Now we just have to wait for those high-level borers to show up." The Poison Dragon Saint finally showed some satisfaction on his face.
"Pass the order down, everyone be ready to attack at any time!" The Holy Ancestor of Tianxiang also nodded and gave instructions behind him.
"Fellow Daoist Tianxiang, I'm going to go back after this matter is over. I wonder what preparations you have?" The Poison Dragon Saint suddenly spoke and casually set up a soundproof cover.
"Fellow Daoist Poison Dragon, are you going to leave the place where the seal was started?" The face of Saint Ancestor Tianxiang solemnly turned.
"Of course, the Land of the First Seal was originally the responsibility of Liu Ji. But she has only sent one incarnation to guard it for so many years. Now she is using the excuse that the incarnation is seriously injured and has implicated the original body, and needs to retreat to recuperate, to stay out of the matter and throw the problem to others. This attitude really disappoints me." The Poison Dragon Saint said with a look of dissatisfaction.
"Did Fellow Daoist Dulong misunderstand something? As far as I know, the relationship between Liuji's several incarnations and the original body is extraordinary. If one of them is damaged, it will indeed have an impact on the original body." The Saint Ancestor Tianxiang seemed to have a deep understanding of the Saint Ancestor Liuji.
"Humph! What misunderstanding? I just know that since she took the position of the ancestor, she should bear the corresponding responsibility!
Otherwise, if the precious flower was still there, there wouldn't be such a big mess in the Land of the First Seal.
After all, she was the one of the three ancestors who devoted the most energy to our Saint Clan and the borer problem. But in the end, she was taken advantage of by Liuji and ambushed. "Poison Dragon Saint Ancestor said pointedly.
"Fellow Daoist Dulong, please be careful with your words. This concerns the position of the ancestor, and we cannot interfere easily." The Saint Ancestor Tianxiang frowned and advised.
"Oh, since Fellow Daoist Tianxiang is so afraid of Liuji, then I won't say much. Anyway, after today's matter is resolved, I will immediately leave the place where the seal was made. As for this conversation, Fellow Daoist can tell Liuji so as not to implicate you again." The Poison Dragon Saint Ancestor glanced at the Tianxiang Saint Ancestor and said lightly.
Upon hearing this, the Holy Ancestor of Tianxiang could only smile bitterly and shake his head without saying anything.
......
"He may have noticed something wrong with me. We must be prepared." In a secret place inside the huge triangular building guarded by the Demon Flame Army, Wen Qizi said to the other three with a serious face.
"So what if he noticed it? I don't believe he really dares to attack us." Madam Menghua's face darkened and she spoke coldly.
"That's really possible. You haven't seen it. The magical powers of this General Lu are even more terrifying than we expected. Killing mid-level borers is a piece of cake. I'm afraid he is comparable to a real Demon Lord!" Chihuo was silent for a while, then sighed lightly and said.
Upon hearing this, Wen Qizi and Madam Menghua's expressions changed, and a hint of fear flashed in their eyes.
"Friend Wen is right. That guy is deliberately avoiding us now. I'm afraid he is going to the army to investigate the reason for the previous breakthrough. He is very likely to take some action at that time. Even if you show weakness to him now, it will not change anything." Deputy Commander Shui saw that the three commanders were somewhat retreating and reminded them quietly.
"Could it be that Commander Shui has some good idea to capture this person?"
"Of course, no matter how scheming he is, can't we deal with him with the combined efforts of the four of us?" Deputy Commander Shui sneered, his eyes flashing slightly.
......
Lu Yuan sat on the jade bed with an angry face. Based on his inspection several hours ago, he judged that the previous breakthrough of the central army was not entirely due to the ferocious borers, but was done deliberately by Wen Qizi and Madam Menghua, who were in charge of the central route.
In order to get me to stop advancing, they actually sacrificed over 100,000 guards. The reason they dared to do this was probably because of the secret support of that Shui guy.
However, since these four people have secretly joined forces, it will not be easy for Lu Yuan to take them down in one fell swoop. He must find a way to separate them.
As long as we get rid of the guy surnamed Shui first, the three commanders will not be a problem at all.
But this matter cannot be rushed. We must find a suitable reason, or at least make the action legitimate, otherwise the entire army will be in chaos.
In addition, the two great saints in heaven did not join the battlefield, and it would be troublesome if they were noticed.
After considering these, the anger on Lu Yuan's face gradually subsided.
...、
Three days later, inside the devilish cloud above Lihuo City.
The Saint Ancestor of Celestial Phenomena, who was standing at the front, suddenly raised his eyebrows and his face suddenly became happy.
"Fellow Daoist Dulong, those bugs seem to have revealed their true colors."
"Haha, I have noticed it too. In that case, what are we waiting for!" The Poison Dragon Saint on the side laughed, and then his whole figure blurred and disappeared.
The next moment, he reappeared less than a thousand feet above Fire City. With a single wave of his hand, a stream of black silk shot out, transforming into a poisonous cloud several miles across in a flash.
After a period of churning in the poisonous cloud, countless ferocious phantoms of poisonous dragons appeared and disappeared in it, and they rushed towards the Lihuo City thousands of feet below with a pungent fishy wind.
The Celestial Saint simply grasped at the void, and a small, crystalline sword flashed into existence. Then, with a flick of his hand, he slashed forward. A loud piercing sound echoed, and dense, crystalline sword lights flashed, spreading across the sky like a piercing sound...
The two great saints attacked one after another, and their power was earth-shaking. The main army corps led by them also swooped down from the sky after the two saints attacked.
For a moment, the entire Lihuo City was shrouded in deafening shouts and cries of killing.
The various legions on the periphery soon discovered that the main force led by the two saints was pouring down from the sky like a torrent.
This instantly boosted the morale of those who were struggling to hold on in the sea of insects. Even some of the legions that were originally a little tired suddenly became more aggressive and began to encircle Lihuo City with high morale.
"Commander-in-chief, please give the order. We should also march towards Lihuo City!" Wen Qizi suggested to Lu Yuan.
“March?
In the past three days, you have asked me to withdraw my troops more than once. Why are you doing the opposite now?
Furthermore, our losses are not insignificant. The number of guards is less than 30% of the original number. If we go to Lihuo City now, wouldn't that be courting death?
Lu Yuan glanced at Wen Qizi and the other two and said in a cold tone.
"Friend Lu, this is a different time now. It is precisely because we have suffered heavy losses and have no possibility of escaping from the sea of insects that we must take this opportunity to join forces with the main forces led by the two Saint Ancestors, so that we can have a glimmer of hope of survival." Deputy Commander Shui explained tactfully.
Reunite with the Holy Ancestor?
Lu Yuan sneered in his heart. If he really did that, he would be putting himself in danger.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to rush to Lihuo City, even if the entire Demon Flame Army is wiped out in the sea of insects in the end.
Anyway, I am not without a way to escape.
