The 100% natural gas

Chapter 378 Fruitful results!
That night, facing the attack from the Demon Realm, the Saint Master took the lead in counterattacking with one sword!
First, with one sword, kill thousands of demons and evil spirits!
Then he went deep into the strange night and killed countless demons and evil spirits!
In just one night, he alone recaptured seventeen mountaintops and recovered the three front lines of defense that had fallen under Tianwei!

The leader of the Tianwei flag led his people out to fight against the demons and evil spirits, holding high the banner of counterattack with such great momentum that the leaders of the Tiangang flags from all parties responded to the call, led their people to fight against the demons and evil spirits, fought with all their might, and formed a momentum of comprehensive counterattack!
The demon kings and evil lords who were above the rank in the Demon Realm sensed the unusual movements of the human race and feared an ambush which would result in their own death, so they retreated to be on the safe side.

As the Demon King Xie Zun retreated, those extremely vicious and evil beings also began to think of retreating and dared not stay.

As for those evil creatures, they also gained consciousness and were instinctively filled with fear.

Only those small demons and wandering ghosts were left. Although their number was large, tens of thousands, they were no longer suppressed by the powerful demons and eventually became a loose sand.

This counterattack was led by the Lord of the Tiangang Banner, the Lord of the Disha Banner, and other strong men in the Refining Spirit Realm and the Refining Qi Realm. Many soldiers were fearless and rushed forward to fight.

Without the resistance of powerful evil spirits, such a huge momentum alone is enough to scare ordinary small demons to death, and it can also drive away ordinary wandering evil spirits with its blood and power!

Under such a great situation, the human soldiers rushed forward like a huge wave... The demons in the eerie night retreated like the tide.

The battle continued all the way until dawn, and most of the lost territories were recovered by each flag.

Some have conquered a line of defense.

Some have conquered two lines of defense.

Only the Holy Master, with his sword, was not afraid of consumption or siege. He killed the most and rushed the farthest, thus taking back all the three defense lines of the Tianwei Flag that had fallen.

At the second defense line of the Tianwei Flag, the current Tianwei Flag Master had already exhausted his inner energy. He sat down dejectedly and said weakly, "I'm dying, I'm dying, my inner energy is exhausted... Who of you has any elixirs? Give me some to replenish my energy?"

"I had a great time killing people before. If the Demon Realm comes back tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover much of my energy."

He looked at the flag in his hand and thought, "It must be that my first time holding the Heavenly Might Flag has affected my resolve. Otherwise, how could a person like me who plans before acting be so impulsive and reckless?"

As I was thinking this, I saw a middle-aged man coming towards me not far away, moving as fast as the wind.

The face of the leader of Tianwei Banner changed slightly.

This is the direct disciple of the current Tiankui Banner Master, named Shen Jiang. Usually, military orders are conveyed by this person.

Last night he disobeyed military orders and launched a counterattack without authorization.

Although the defense line was recaptured, there were many casualties. The surviving soldiers were exhausted after the relentless pursuit and fierce fighting... Even he, the leader of the Tianwei Banner, had exhausted his true energy.

He knew that the above meant to delay as much as possible and avoid confronting the enemy head-on, so as to preserve strength and prepare for a long and hard battle!

Although we won a great victory in last night's battle, if the Demon Realm attacks again tonight, our exhausted army may find it difficult to cope.

"It's over, it's over. I will definitely be punished..."

The leader of the Tianwei Banner gritted his teeth, struggled to stand up, and said, "I have disobeyed military orders and am willing to die, but all the brothers have obeyed orders, please be lenient with me, I..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the middle-aged man walk straight past him and head to the front.

The face of the Heavenly Might Banner Master changed constantly, and he could not help but gnashed his teeth and said, "Even if I am a dying man, I am still the current Heavenly Might Banner Master. I have made great achievements in the past. You actually turned a blind eye to it. It is really an insult to me..."

"Why are you so crazy?"

Shen Jiang stopped, turned around, and said, "I know you have made great contributions. The Grand Banner Master will be here soon to award you the honor... Why are you pretending in front of me? Wasn't it because you were greedy for merit and reckless that I was ordered to beat you with twenty military sticks? More than ten years have passed, and you still don't forget to show off in front of me and get back at me?"

He snorted, waved his sleeves and walked away, saying: "You have served Taixuan Divine Mountain for more than 20 years and have made outstanding military achievements. It is because of your unchangeable temper that you have never been promoted! If the leader of the Tianwei Banner had not been assassinated and the Demon Realm had not been so aggressive, it would not be the turn of a reckless man like you to carry the banner!"

"..."

The Tianwei Banner Master was stunned and whispered, "Have I accomplished great merit?"

His eyes lit up slightly, and he secretly said happily: "In that case, last night it was not considered as a violation of military orders, and there is no need to be beheaded in public?"

The next moment, he flew into a rage, thinking to himself, "So this guy beat me with twenty military sticks back then? Damn it, I got beaten so many times that I actually forgot about this grudge..."

By the time he reacted, Shen Jiang was already heading towards the first line of defense.

The Heavenly Might Banner Master withdrew his gaze and thought to himself, "What's wrong with this reckless man? I saw that Saint Master was much more reckless than I was last night..."

"Although the powerful demons retreated too quickly, we killed more than 2,000 demons last night, and the total amount of evil spirits we obtained was more than 50,000..."

Lin Yan thought to himself, "While killing the enemy, the true energy is consumed and replenished with evil energy... At present, there are more than 30,000 evil energy left!"

He closed his eyes slightly and thought to himself, "If I could kill one more time tonight, my view of the underworld would be almost complete. Unfortunately..."

"Those beings beyond their ranks in the Demon Realm should have known of my arrival today. They must have made preparations at night and will probably come after me!"

"In that case, the situation tonight should not allow me to go on a killing spree."

He flicked the Zhaoye Divine Sword lightly and whispered, "But if we can kill a few demons that are beyond our level, that will be enough."

Thinking this way, he added twenty thousand evil spirits to his cultivation.

Cultivation: Landscape Design - Hades (93045/129600) +
There are more than 14,000 evil spirits left, which will be used to restore true energy tonight when fighting against the evil spirits.

Afterwards, he sensed the current technique again and thought to himself, "As my cultivation level improves, the dojo becomes more stable and its scope gradually expands. The mana derived from the true qi becomes more powerful..."

"But now, killing the enemy is more like using force to suppress them, using cultivation to suppress them, and relying more on brute force."

“When facing a Divine Lord who has been creating landscapes for many years, or a Demon King with a powerful heritage, the means of fighting you have now are too shallow and a little insufficient.”

"It seems that my sword skills should be improved."

"The higher the attainment of swordsmanship, the more powerful it will be when using the same amount of magic power!"

"When facing ordinary demons, you need to be more meticulous in your control, and you can save a lot of energy in a chaotic battle."

As he thought this, he sheathed his knife.

Unfortunately, the magical power of the word "bing" consumes too much evil energy.

Otherwise, he should first push the Bing Mantra to perfection, so that the intelligence of Zhaoye Divine Sword can be fully awakened.

In this way, he would have gained a powerful helper comparable to the God of Landscape Design!
As he was thinking this, a beam of light approached from behind him. He turned around and saw a middle-aged man approaching quickly, but when he was a hundred steps away, his speed slowed down.

Because the previous leader of the Tianwei Banner was assassinated, the top leaders of Taixuan Divine Mountain were on high alert.

From a hundred steps away, actively releasing your energy and slowing down your pace is equivalent to telling the other party that you are not there to assassinate them.

When he was ten steps away, he stopped, bowed and said loudly: "Shen Jiang, the leader of the Dikui Banner, one of the 72 Disha Banners of Taixuan Divine Mountain, pays homage to the Holy Master!"

"Master Shen, I know you."

Lin Yan returned the greeting and said, "Are you here today to pass on a message for the Grand Banner Master?"

Shen Jiang shook his head slightly and said, "I will follow your orders and come to protect the Holy Master."

As he said this, he reached into his bosom, took out a mirror, bit the tip of his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then he presented the mirror with both hands and said, "This is a gift from my master. Please accept it, Saint Master... With this precious mirror, in times of crisis, Saint Master can completely shatter my physical body and life, and it can resist a fatal blow!"

"..."

After hearing this, Lin Yan suddenly fell silent.

He remembered the information about Taixuan Mountain from the Heavenly Monitoring Department.

Shen Jiang's weight is at the forefront.

This man joined the army at the age of seventeen, was transferred to Taixuan Divine Mountain at the age of twenty-three, was promoted to centurion at the age of twenty-eight, and was accepted as a registered disciple by the flag master along with four other generals who had made great contributions.

At the age of thirty-one, he broke through the realm of refining essence.

At the age of 42, he entered the Qi Refining Realm, and because of his outstanding military achievements, he took charge of the Disha Flag and was listed as a personal disciple by the flag master.

At the age of forty-eight, he reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm and was promoted to the first flag of the Disha, Di Kuixing!
He is forty-nine this year and has been listed by the Holy Land’s high-ranking officials as the first of the next Tiankui Banner.

Now that the demons have come out in full force, the Taixuan Divine Mountain is facing an attack that has not been seen in a thousand years. Even the leader of the Tiankui Banner might die in the battle.

If he dies in battle, the next Tiankui Bannerman will be Shen Jiang.

After Shen Jiang's death in battle, the top leaders of the Holy Land have already decided on the roster as to who will take over.

"Is this what the Grand Banner Master meant?" Lin Yan looked at the precious mirror in front of him but did not take it.

"That's right." Shen Jiang said seriously.

"I heard that the great banner master has many direct disciples, but those before you have all died in battle, one after another, and now you have become the eldest disciple."

Lin Yan sighed and said, "Now, Grand Banner Master, are you asking you, a great disciple who has made countless contributions, to protect me with your life?"

"My mentor once said that he can die, I can die, but the Holy Master cannot die!" Shen Jiang raised his head with a solemn expression.

"I have always believed that there is no distinction between the importance of human life." Lin Yan said slowly: "You don't have to die for me!"

"Human life is not important, but for the human race, the existence of the Saint Master is more important than me." Shen Jiang said in a heavy tone: "Today's human race can do without the Tiankui Flag, but it cannot do without the Saint Master! This is a matter of survival for the race..."

“……”Lin Yan remained silent.

"Military orders are as heavy as a mountain!"

Shen Jiang took a half step forward and said, "Master, as the leader of the Tiankui Banner, he is the leader of Taixuan Divine Mountain. Every military order he issues involves the life and death of thousands of soldiers!"

"Those soldiers, upon receiving an order, risked their lives and fought bravely!"

"Therefore, the Tiankui Banner has always set an example. There are only warriors who die in battle, and no one who is afraid of death."

"Even if there are people who are out of control, we must clean up the mess!"

He looked solemn and said, "I am willing to die, not for the Saint Master alone, but for the general good of the human race! Please Saint Master, the overall situation is more important!"

"..."

Lin Yan was silent for a moment, then took the mirror, put it in his arms, and said, "Take me to see the leader of the Tiankui Banner."

"My master is on his way, please wait for a moment, Saint Master!"

Shen Jiang said this.

Lin Yan nodded and turned to look at the demon realm ahead.

This is the first line of defense of Taixuan Divine Mountain, which is also the border!
One step forward, even the demon realm is a forbidden zone in the eyes of human soldiers.

"You have served in the army for many years, longer than I am, and your military exploits are even more remarkable."

Lin Yan smiled and said, "I thought that I was already very strong in terms of military achievements, but compared to you, I am still a little weaker! I always feel that it is a bit strange to ask you to risk your life to protect me..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiang whispered, "Saint Master, at such a young age, has already achieved military exploits comparable to what I have accumulated over the past thirty years. I am ashamed! Moreover, Saint Master's great contribution to the human race is not purely about slaying demons and eliminating evil..."

Lin Yan was silent for a moment, then asked, "You have served in the Taixuan Army for more than 30 years. Have you ever set foot outside of here?"

"Never!"

Shen Jiang sighed, "This is already the edge of the human race's defense line! For so many years, the human race has been on guard against attacks from evil spirits. Just guarding this Taixuan Divine Mountain has already taken all their efforts..."

He laughed and said, "In the past, the human race's counterattacks were all due to the loss of defense lines. They relied on the remaining power of the formation to regain the lost territory! If we talk about directly attacking the demon domain... the human race does not have such power, and the world has not given us such an opportunity."

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

Even if they attacked the demon realm during the day, once night fell, the demons would arrive and the human soldiers would have no choice but to return to Taixuan Divine Mountain.

There is not enough clean land to accommodate a large number of soldiers, nor is there a stable territory to deal with the evil spirits of the night.

This is a natural weakness!
You can only defend, not attack!
"In the past, in the Demon Realm, a large number of those demons that surpassed their rank lived in seclusion in a corner and rarely took the initiative to attack."

Shen Jiang said: "If we take the initiative to break into the demon domain, we may anger this relatively neutral demon king Xie Zun... So, generally speaking, the human race will not take the initiative to provoke."

Lin Yan thought for a moment and said, "In the past, he was afraid of the entire Demon Realm, so he was furious and rushed towards Taixuan Divine Mountain with all his strength, so he endured it in silence?"

He said this, and then said: "Now the high-level officials of the Demon Realm have all come out in full force to attack Taixuan Divine Mountain... Their anger is not very important."

"But we still don't have a chance to enter the Demon Realm."

Shen Jiang said: "The last person who really stepped out of here and entered the Demon Realm was Li Shenzong! He went deep into the Demon Realm alone and there has been no news since then. He must have died..."

Lin Yan already knew about this, so it wasn't a surprise to him. He was just a little confused as to why Li Shenzong had ventured into the demon realm alone.

Li Shenzong had a bright future and was said to be a master of landscape design, but he seemed to be heading for his own death?

As he thought of this, he heard an old voice behind him.

"Saint Master, I have prepared a banquet. After the banquet, we will leave Yuanshan City. It is dangerous tonight... You cannot stay in Taixuan Divine Mountain."
