Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1497 Counterattack (Part Six)

After the battle, Liu Changxu immediately issued an order to clean up the battlefield, and the soldiers who participated in the battle cleaned up the battlefield.

The soldiers obeyed the order and began to systematically clear away the remains of blood mosquitoes in the swamp, classifying and collecting anything usable.

After issuing the decree, Liu Changxu summoned Jin Haonan, Su Yuxue, his son Liu Fuhai, and other high-ranking members of the human race to gather on the deck of the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship to discuss the next move.

Jin Haonan spoke somewhat anxiously:

"Your Majesty, we have just received a message from the front. The insectoids at Tianchi Mountain have made new moves. The number of insectoids that were originally entrenched there has greatly decreased, and now only a dozen or so ninth-tier insect emperors remain. Your Majesty, do you think we should take this opportunity to fight back?"

As he spoke, his eyes gleamed with anticipation.

Tianchi Mountain is the headquarters of the Tianchi Holy Land and his homeland where he has lived for ten thousand years. When it was previously occupied by the insectoid race, countless disciples of the Tianchi Holy Land died on the battlefield while resisting the insectoids. This shame and pain is a nightmare that has haunted him, and he has always wanted to fight back. Now that he hears that the defenses are weak, he naturally thinks about taking back his homeland as soon as possible.

Su Yuxue frowned slightly and added:
"Is the news reliable? I wonder what's going on over at Kunlun Mountain?"

Liu Fuhai nodded in agreement:

"Father, with our current strength, a dozen or so Insect Kings are nothing to fear! If we can take them back, it will be a great thing to boost the morale of the human race."

The atmosphere on the deck immediately became lively. Everyone chimed in with their opinions, some supportive, some cautious, but their gazes eventually returned to Liu Changxu, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Liu Changxu tapped his fingertips lightly on the railing, gazing at the deepening twilight in the distance. After a moment of contemplation, he said in a firm tone:

"The Heavenly Lake sacred site is of great significance to us. If we have the opportunity, we will naturally take it back. Our next target will be Heavenly Lake Mountain!"

"Your Majesty, when will we reclaim Mount Kunlun?"

Su Yuxue asked expectantly:

"Let's take it one step at a time! We'll drive the Zerg out sooner or later!"

Liu Changxu said firmly:

When news of the impending attack on Tianchi Mountain reached the army, the soldiers' morale soared.

More than a month later, on a bright morning, the sunlight shone like scattered gold across the earth as the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship arrived in the airspace near Tianchi Mountain.

Standing on the deck of the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship, Liu Changxu and the others could clearly see the entire view of Tianchi Mountain in the distance.

But the scene before them shocked everyone who had witnessed the former glory of Tianchi.

Once upon a time, this place was a fairyland of mountains and streams, shrouded in mist and clouds, with pavilions and towers hidden among the pines and cypresses, its spiritual energy so rich that it almost solidified into a tangible form.

However, what everyone sees now is that the once rolling, verdant, and beautiful mountains are covered by giant insect nests with a dark gray sheen, as if wrapped in an ugly scab; the Heavenly Lake in the mountains is no longer clear, but has become a swamp of muddy, churning with dark green slime, emitting a suffocating, putrid smell; in the sky, countless giant insects of various shapes shuttle between the nests, and the buzzing of their flapping wings merges into a chilling noise that completely drowns out the birdsong and pine breezes of the past.

The ancient archway, a symbol of humanity's glory, now stands as a broken stone pillar, crawling with milky-white insect eggs, seemingly mocking its former splendor. "Those damned insects!"

Jin Haonan's roar broke the silence, and then, in a flash, he left the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship, summoning his natal spirit treasure and charging towards the insect hive.

Seeing that Jin Haonan was so eager to act, Liu Changxu instructed his daughter, Liu Fuyin:

"Yin'er, you're still in charge of overseeing the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship. Be extremely careful!"

Then, he took Su Yuxue and his son Liu Fuhai and left the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship, heading towards Tianchi Mountain.

After leaving the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship, Liu Changxu unleashed all his innate spiritual treasures, including the thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords, the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd, the Ruyi Void Mirror, the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp, the Ruyi Xuanhuang Pagoda, the Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron, and the Crimson Lotus World-Destroying Seal.

At this moment, the ninth-tier insect kings, who had been hiding deep within Tianchi Mountain, also appeared one after another, shooting out terrifying spiritual energy beams at Liu Changxu and his group.

Liu Changxu counted them and found that there were a total of nineteen ninth-tier insect kings and two superior ninth-tier insect kings. Therefore, this battle would definitely be quite difficult.

However, Liu Changxu did not waver in his previous decision. He immediately commanded the thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords to be divided into sixteen groups, and then each group slashed at the sixteen ninth-order insect kings.

At the same time, he commanded the Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror, Ruyi Miehun Lamp, Tianfan Fuhai Halberd, Honglian Mieshi Seal, and Da Ri Zijin Cauldron to besiege the two ninth-order superior insect emperors.

As for his own defense, he relied on the Ruyi Xuanhuang Pagoda above his head and the Ruyi Golden Armor on his body.

Jin Haonan, Su Yuxue, and Liu Fuhai each chose their opponents and engaged in fierce battles.

Faced with Liu Changxu's numerous innate spiritual treasures, the attacks of those ninth-order insect kings, though fierce, could not break through Liu Changxu's defenses. Instead, they were completely overwhelmed by Liu Changxu's numerical advantage in spiritual treasures.

In particular, the two ninth-rank superior insect kings were repeatedly restrained by Liu Changxu's Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror and Ruyi Extinction Lamp, and were constantly attacked by the innate spiritual treasures. If it weren't for their amazing defensive power, they would have been killed by Liu Changxu long ago.

However, as time went on, Liu Changxu's advantage grew, and under the siege of dozens of mid-grade ninth-rank innate spiritual treasures, these ninth-rank insect kings all suffered injuries of varying degrees.

Although Liu Changxu only suffered minor injuries under the protection of the Ruyi Xuanhuang Pagoda and the Ruyi Golden Armor, his magical power was greatly depleted.

In order to win as soon as possible, Liu Changxu suddenly changed his attack strategy, commanding the Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror, Ruyi Miehun Lamp, Fantian Fuhai Halberd, and Da Ri Zijin Cauldron to besiege the most seriously injured ninth-rank superior insect king.

The ninth-tier superior insect king was caught off guard. First, it was imprisoned in the void by the Ruyi Void Mirror. Then, its already injured soul was severely damaged by the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp. Finally, the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd, carrying the terrifying power to tear through the sky, pierced its body. Immediately afterward, the Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron descended from the sky and slammed heavily onto its back.

"boom--"

Two loud explosions rang out in succession. The insect king's massive body could no longer withstand the force and was instantly cleaved into several pieces. Dark green insect blood gushed out, staining the ground below green.

The moment the Insect King's primordial spirit left his body, it was enveloped by the soul-destroying divine light emitted by the Ruyi Soul-Destroying Lamp, instantly turning into a wisp of green smoke and dissipating into the world.

After slaying the ninth-tier superior-grade insect queen, Liu Changxu swiftly changed his attack direction, commanding the Ruyi Soul-Destroying Lamp, Ruyi Void Mirror, Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd, Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron, Crimson Lotus World-Destroying Seal, and six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords to besiege another ninth-tier superior-grade insect queen. He soon killed it, not even its primordial spirit escaping.
