Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 712 The Path of Demons, The Path of Immortality! (Two Chapters Combined)

The Thunder God General had already taken the lead, charging forward with thousands of divine thunderbolts in his hands.

"All troops, listen to my command and charge!"

Jiuxiao Qu raised his battle halberd and shouted, and his five thousand heavenly soldiers responded.

"Maintain good formation and do not be greedy for merit or advance rashly. If you are accidentally separated from your troops, try your best to regroup with me. Under no circumstances should you be left to fight alone!"

Li Gengsheng's immortal power transformed into numerous rays of light. With a solemn expression, he patiently gave his heavenly soldiers a final reminder before the battle.

"Yes!"

Among the heavenly soldiers, some had somber expressions, others were worried, and still others were excited.

The battlefield between immortals and demons is fraught with danger; immortal lives are worthless here.

But just as danger is accompanied by opportunity.

As long as they can return to the Celestial Court alive from the battlefield, they will have accomplished something.

And if there are achievements in slaying demons, then the merit is even more indispensable!
Want to learn immortal techniques and magic?

Or perhaps you desire elixirs of immortality, or the finest nectar?
Or perhaps it was a reward of magical treasures, or a position as a heavenly general?
All of these can be obtained through battle achievements in the Immortal-Demon Battlefield!
Although the position of Heavenly Soldier is dangerous, it also offers more opportunities than other positions of celestial official. The key is whether you can win this opportunity!
After the Thunder God departed, the remaining 50,000 heavenly soldiers quickly split into ten large square formations, each commanded by a general, who directed and deployed several thousand heavenly soldiers under his command.

Song Changming did not act independently; he remained obediently in the army, advancing and retreating with the main force.

Soon, he came to a world filled with overwhelming demonic energy.

Looking up, I saw demons everywhere, all sorts of colors.

His gaze then fell upon the earth, where demons roamed freely, countless in number.

Upon seeing this, Song Changming finally understood why the battle had continued for so long without ending.

There are far too many demons; it's not just about that one five-horned troll!
Originally, Song Changming thought that their 50,000 heavenly soldiers and generals supporting the battlefield would be like a shot of adrenaline, and would definitely have a remarkable effect.

But now, he finds that these 50,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, thrown into this battlefield of immortals and demons, are like a pebble thrown into a stream, only able to create a few ripples, but unable to make a decisive impact.

"Kill them!"

A group of demons quickly locked onto the several heavenly soldiers and generals who had arrived on the battlefield and pounced on them.

Song Changming's Ninth Army was no exception and was attacked immediately.

However, compared to the dozen or so sea monsters they encountered at sea, the combat power of these demons in front of them was clearly several levels weaker.

That's to be expected.

If all demons were as powerful as those sea demons, it would be far too terrifying. Perhaps even the Celestial Court would have been overthrown by these demons long ago.

In fact, just as there are strong and weak immortals, there are also great and small demons among demons.

A demonic bird emerged from the crowd of demons, spewing out a large amount of black flames, attempting to engulf the entire celestial army of the Ninth Song.

Qu Jiang Jiuxiao snorted coldly, raised his hand and his immortal power surged, forming a sky screen to block the black flames for all the soldiers and generals.

"Demons die!"

Qu threw the long halberd from his hand, leaving a streak of silver light.

This long spear must be an extraordinary celestial treasure, for the extremely powerful black flames did not harm it in the slightest.

The long spear swept across the demonic bird like a thunderclap.

Sweeped by the long spear, the demon bird let out a mournful cry and plummeted from the sky.

"Charge!" Jiuxiao retracted his immortal treasure halberd and shouted again.

Thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals followed him into the demon horde, where celestial power and demonic power clashed and clashed, attacking each other.

After several rounds of aerial attacks and the forceful annihilation of several groups of demons, the celestial army inevitably became bogged down in the quagmire of war, being held back by even more demon hordes.

Song Changming's unit was no exception; a red-eyed black monkey, along with hundreds of its offspring, held them back.

"Don't panic, just like in the drills!" Li Gengsheng said this to the new recruits who had joined in recent years and had not yet experienced the war between immortals and demons.

He glanced at Song Changming again.

He had noticed that Song Changming had previously displayed the same True Immortal Realm power as him.

He was relatively at ease with this exceptionally talented new recruit.

In the past few years, Song Changming has never caused him any trouble, and his performance in all aspects has been excellent.

Facing them, the black monkey suddenly leaped high into the air, followed by a swarm of monkeys and their offspring.

As it fell, a long-handled iron hammer shrouded in demonic energy suddenly appeared in the black monkey's hand.

The hammer was covered in spikes; if someone were hit by it, their immortal bodies would be shattered and riddled with holes.

Li Gengsheng swung his halberd in a circle, unleashing his true immortal power, and stepped forward without hesitation to meet the black monkey's sudden hammer blow.

clang!
Li Gengsheng's expression changed drastically. His halberd nearly flew out of his hand, and he was directly knocked back more than ten miles by the black monkey.

In this exchange, he was immediately at a disadvantage.

Immortals possess immortal power, and demons possess demonic power; both have cultivation and attainment.

Li Gengsheng quickly realized that the black monkey's magical cultivation was stronger than his immortal cultivation, and his heart sank.

This battle is sure to be difficult!

A quick glance revealed that although the black monkey had brought many monkeys and their offspring, none of them were particularly strong, at least not as strong as the black monkey.

The forty-five heavenly soldiers formed a solid battle formation, their long halberds wielded in perfect unison, their immense battle techniques combined to create a powerful force that swept across the battlefield.

In a single strike, it wiped out more than ten of the monkeys that had approached first.

Many monkeys were reduced to a puddle of mush after being swept by the halberd technique.

"Terrifying! Terrifying!"

The remaining monkeys were greatly alarmed and jumped to the side, not daring to make any rash moves.

They also wore armor and carried knives, axes, and clubs, and displayed ferocity, panic, and fear.

Seeing such a demon was somewhat unexpected for Song Changming.

He had assumed that this being, whom the Celestial Court had labeled a demon, must be a great terror in the world, insane, full of bloodshed, and extremely ferocious.

However, upon seeing it, he realized that the so-called evil spirits were quite different from what he had imagined.

Demons are not a specific species of beings, but a 'path' that is opposite to the path of immortality!
Any living being that can cultivate immortality can also cultivate demonic power!
Immortals ascend to heaven, demons descend to the netherworld.

They are like the separation between heaven and earth, and like the separation between pure and impure air in the world.

As for the distinction between good and evil
Whether there is any such thing as goodwill among demons remains to be discussed.

Of course, Song Changming's discoveries are not important at the moment.

They were on the same battlefield, so they were naturally enemies, regardless of anything else.

Despite his attainment of True Immortal realm, Song Changming did not leave the group but continued to work alongside the soldiers.

Only when tactics and troop formations are combined can the maximum combat power be achieved.

The combined power of the forty-five heavenly soldiers' battle techniques surpassed even his individual immortal power.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we are no match for you, no match for you!"

The monkeys were chased up and down by the heavenly soldiers, and they couldn't help but shout loudly.

The next moment, the black monkey was already swinging its giant hammer at the group of heavenly soldiers. The violent magic power combined with its unparalleled strength made it seem unstoppable.

"Disperse!"

The heavenly soldiers immediately changed formation, scattering nimbly as if they had practiced it countless times, thus dodging the black monkey's direct hammer blow.

Then, the four of them formed a group and raised their halberds to fight back against the black monkey.

The attacks came from all directions, making it impossible for the black monkey, which was deeply involved, to defend itself completely.

He could withstand the counterattacks from the other heavenly soldiers, but the pain in his right arm, which was protecting his head, was almost unbearable.

Staring wide-eyed, under the powerful attack of immortal energy, the skin of his right arm was already blurred, flesh and blood were flying everywhere, and even the bones inside were quickly exposed.

Looking at the attacker, it was none other than Song Changming, a True Immortal, along with three heavenly soldiers in his group.

Standing beside Song Changming, Jiebao felt the burst of immortal power from Song Changming at such close range, and his mind was shaken even more.

He was quite certain that Song Changming had already entered the realm of true immortals!

Just two years ago, Song Changming was like him, not yet having reached the Immortal Realm.

Two years have passed, and he is still not at the peak of the Immortal Realm, while Song Changming has far surpassed him and become a true immortal in the heavens!

Of course, Jebo's shock was only momentary. With a formidable enemy at hand, he couldn't afford to be distracted on the battlefield; that would be tantamount to courting death.

As a teammate, having a true immortal suddenly join your ranks is undoubtedly great news.

"Cut off one of his arms!"

Seeing that the black monkey's right arm was about to break, Jiebao tried to increase the force.

But the black monkey had already switched to swinging the hammer with his left hand.

At the same moment, a sudden surge of water rose from the nearby sea, and the floodwaters poured down from the sky.

With a roar from the black monkey, he smashed down with his hammer, and the floodwaters were also swept towards the group of heavenly soldiers in front of him, especially Song Changming who was mixed in with them.

He knew all too well that the severe injury to his right arm was inflicted by this man.

The impact of the sledgehammer, carrying the force of the water, was so strong that the troops' formation broke apart before they could react.

With the battle tactics severed, the gathered battle momentum was also scattered.

All the heavenly soldiers felt a chill in their hearts, and some even panicked.

Military formations are of utmost importance on the battlefield and should not be easily dispersed; this is a lesson learned the hard way.

Anyone with battlefield experience knows that the period when an army suffers the most casualties is often after the battle formation has broken down, when all the soldiers and generals are caught up in the chaos of individual battles. This is also the most dangerous time!
Li Gengsheng sensed something was wrong and immediately threw away his halberd, then clasped his hands together in a mudra.

The seal transformed into dozens of threads, instantly connecting with the scattered heavenly soldiers.

Li Gengsheng grabbed one end of the silk thread and pulled hard.

Of the forty-five silk threads, seven or eight broke immediately, and more than a dozen heavenly soldiers were forcibly dragged back to his side.

Then two or three more broke off, and five or six more heavenly soldiers returned to his side.

In the end, Li Gengsheng managed to gather thirty-two heavenly soldiers again, but the remaining thirteen heavenly soldiers could not be pulled back by his magic.

Li Gengsheng glanced around and instantly identified the heavenly soldiers who had returned, as well as those who hadn't.

Among those who returned was Song Changming.

Song Changming glanced at the silk threads attached to his armor, wondering when Li Gengsheng had left the spell on him.

Perhaps every celestial soldier's armor has such an emergency measure that the squad leader can use to maintain formation.

"Restore the formation!" Li Gengsheng shouted.

The thirty-two heavenly soldiers calmed down, quickly took their positions, and their battle techniques and power were once again linked, forming an even more stable whole.

As for the remaining thirteen heavenly soldiers, he couldn't worry about them for the time being.

This trip to the battlefield between immortals and demons is far more dangerous than the initial encounter a few years ago.

If he is not careful, his entire army will be wiped out.

“I’ll deal with that demonic monkey!” Li Gengsheng said, his eyes fixed on the black monkey with which he had already locked eyes.

Suddenly, he added, "Changming, come with me. The rest of you deal with those monkeys!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Gengsheng grabbed the halberd beside him and charged straight at the black monkey.

Song Changming's heart stirred, and he followed closely behind.

He understood Li Gengsheng's idea: to eliminate the most threatening black monkey as soon as possible in order to resolve the crisis and give the troops a chance to catch their breath.

He alone would find it difficult to defeat the Black Monkey, but with the addition of Song Changming, a newly promoted True Immortal, the situation would be different.

The strength of the True Immortal was not much inferior to his, equivalent to two team leader-level Heavenly Generals joining forces to slay the demon!
Two plumes of white smoke billowed from the black monkey's nostrils, and its form gradually became ghostly as it suddenly charged toward the two people.

He won't shy away from these two!

Li Gengsheng took the lead, his halberd billowing as he unleashed his battle technique, which resembled a golden dragon dancing in the air as he pounced on the black monkey.

The black monkey, wielding hammers in both hands and exuding demonic energy, slammed one hammer at Li Gengsheng.

clang!
This time, Li Gengsheng was not knocked away by the black monkey again, but managed to stay in place.

"Die!" At close range, Li Gengsheng endured the numbness and pain in his arms and suddenly spat out a silver needle.

The silver needle glowed with a spiritual light and instantly blinded one of the black monkey's eyes.

The black monkey, in pain and enraged, lunged at Li Gengsheng, intending to swallow him whole.

Fortunately, Song Changming arrived in time, silently approaching the black monkey's side, raising his halberd with both arms, and suddenly slashing down on the black monkey's thick neck.

With the power of a true immortal, and the force of billions of pounds poured in, this halberd was both fast and heavy!
No matter how tough the black monkey's neck was, Song Changming's halberd sliced ​​off its head.

The monkey head flew through the air, but Song Changming frowned and didn't seem particularly happy.

His senses were incredibly sharp; the Witch God Soul at the fifth level of the Divine Rank was fully capable of seeing through all things in the world and dispelling falsehoods.

He immediately noticed that the headless black monkey's aura remained unchanged, and its life force was still extremely strong.

Song Changming knew that the other party had not died.

And so it is.

"What a ruthless strike, kid, you've got some strength!" The black monkey's hoarse, gloomy voice came from the headless corpse.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the fine head that had been thrown away began to fly back.

Song Changming's eyes narrowed, and he thrust out a palm with his left hand.

A spark appeared, scattering a blazing golden flame that instantly engulfed the monkey's head.

One of the rays of the sun god's fire quickly incinerated the monkey's head, giving it no chance to return to its original position.

Enraged, the black monkey swung its long-handled iron hammer at Song Changming.

Song Changming parried with one hand, holding his halberd.

The magic on the iron hammer and Song Changming's immortal power were evenly matched, transforming into two pure-colored air waves, one black and one white, in mid-air.

The shockwave rose to the heavens, reaching the fifth heaven!
They descended to the ground, overturning layers of sand, gravel, soil, and wood!
Many demons and heavenly soldiers were forced to retreat due to the impact of the battle between the man and the monkey.
