Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 457 Illusionary Encirclement
Zhou Leng glanced at the Demon Spirit Bird and asked, "Can you hear me?"

"can."

"Report this immediately. I can break through illusions. Find someone to cooperate with me, quickly devise a tactic, and join forces to annihilate them. I'll pretend to run away first and dodge them for a while."

"Good!" The demon master's tone was filled with indescribable excitement. After being besieged by demons for so long, he finally had a chance to take a big bite.

Zhou Leng had chosen open terrain, so no matter what the enemy did, they couldn't suddenly surround him.

With a single glance, the ambushers who were not sirens were nowhere to hide.

The Eye Demon is very easy to identify; it is a large eyeball floating in mid-air, with octopus-like tentacles covering its surface.

Zhou Leng fled, running around aimlessly.

Once the enemy detects the target, they are hesitant to attack and retreat to await an opportunity.

Inside the human camp, the war correspondent kept observing Zhou Leng and taking photos.

Soon, the human commanders devised a strategy.

Following the established tactics, Zhou Leng arrived at the designated location and, posing as a siren, began killing siren.

The ambushing monsters stirred again.

Zhou Leng pretended not to see it this time.

An ambush force of over 150 innate demonic creatures arrived from all directions.

There are three Great Innate Ones.

Before long, an encirclement was formed.

Thirty bewitching demons lined up in all directions, coordinating with the demonic artifacts to cast spells in unison.

With a flash of magical light, a three-kilometer radius area centered on Zhou Leng transformed into a highly poisonous forest.

In the forest, countless demons charged in, their shouts deafening.

Zhou Leng scanned his surroundings and saw through everything.

Because this illusion was a large-scale illusion, its effect was not as good as the previous single-target illusion of the Radiant Candle. In the corner of my eye, all the illusions were semi-transparent.

Zhou Leng pretended to be under an illusion, jumping and running in terror as if he were trying to escape the demon army in the illusion.

Not far away, the innate martial artists, ready to retaliate against the ambushers, were prepared.

Just as they were about to make their move, their expressions suddenly changed drastically.

Then a group of demon warlocks chanted incantations, and an ice ball rose up, growing larger and larger until it finally transformed into a large ice ball with a diameter of ten meters, floating in mid-air.

The ice hockey puck spins, scattering snowflakes that fall into a dreamlike world.

The land within a three-kilometer radius of Zhou Leng was frozen.

The chill froze everything, turning all demons below the innate level into statues, some motionless, others shattered into pieces.

At the same time, a group of hundred-eyed bows hidden in the shadows revealed themselves.

These hundred-eyed bows are born with a natural ability and a period of growth. The left arm transforms into a longbow of flesh and blood, while the right arm spreads out like wings of flesh and blood, with eyeballs growing inside the wings.

The Hundred-Eyed Bow drew back the bowstring with its right hand, and countless eyeballs leaped onto the bowstring. Then, all the eyeballs transformed into sharp, blood-red metal arrows.

whoosh...

In an instant, the Hundred-Eyed Bow consumed 30% of its own eyeballs, and hundreds of blood-red arrows flew towards Zhou Leng.

They continued to draw their bows and nock their arrows, transforming all their eyeballs into arrows, and then turned and ran.

The human warriors, giants, and magic masters who were counter-ambushed could not see what was happening inside the illusion, but their faces showed sorrow.

"So many hundred-eyed bows..."

"That should be the legendary demon artifact, the Frozen Celestial Sphere."

"We must avenge the siren killer!"

"Avenge the siren slayer!"

The warriors roared and charged toward the innate demons outside the illusion.

Within the Frozen Illusionary Realm.

All the demons below the level of the Primordial Chaos were frozen solid.

Each of the three Great Primordial Beings led dozens of Primordial Beings, rushing towards Zhou Leng from three different directions.

Before entering, they wore various magical artifacts to resist the power of the frozen celestial sphere and were blessed with magic to see through the illusion.

Within the same frozen celestial sphere, the freezing force that ordinary innate beings have to endure is more than three times that of those with supernatural abilities.

They are slower than usual, but without special preparation, they are even slower.

All the monsters were filled with confidence.

With illusion magic combined with the power of ice, and the overwhelming attack of the Hundred-Eyed Bow, victory is assured.

They saw that long, blood-red arrows covered the area where Zhou Leng was, like a torrential rain.

Zhou Leng frantically dodged, but not only were there many blood-red arrows, but their fletchings also had rolling eyeballs that could change direction within a certain range to track him.

One arrow after another, carrying powerful demonic energy, pierced Zhou Leng's body.

Shoulders, arms, chest, abdomen, legs...

Zhou Leng tried his best to avoid vital points, but he couldn't dodge all the arrows.

Some arrows only penetrated the tip, but a few pierced the chest, abdomen, and limbs.

With fearless eyes, Zhou Leng barely paused, passing between the two Great Innate teams at a speed far exceeding that of all demons, and running towards the edge of the Illusion and Frozen Celestial Sphere.

"what happened……"

All the demons discovered that this damned human warrior was almost unaffected by the Frozen Celestial Sphere; his blood and qi surged like fire, and all the cold was forced out of his body.

The heat emanating from his body collided with the cold surroundings, forming a human-shaped white mist.

All the designs seemed effective, yet they didn't seem so effective.

"The reserve troops outside, stop him! Stop him!"

The three Great Innate Realm experts were undeniably powerful, but they were only Great Innate Realm experts. The Frozen Celestial Sphere was a legendary demonic artifact, and even if they prepared in advance, their speed still couldn't keep up with Zhou Leng.

Suddenly, the illusion trembled slightly, changing from being closed to semi-transparent.

Whether inside or outside, everyone can see the translucent illusion forest and the icy snow within.

The demon who was chasing Zhou Leng looked out and his eyes widened in anger.

Numerous warriors appeared outside the illusion, nearly half of the Eye Demons were killed, and a large number of Hundred-Eyed Bows lay on the ground.

Meanwhile, the human warriors outside gazed at the semi-transparent illusion.

In the vast expanse of white snow and ice, a man covered in arrows broke through the encirclement of dozens of innate beings and rushed out of the illusion.

Pierced by a hundred arrows, yet fierce as a flame.

Many people took out their phones or enchanted wristwatches to photograph the masked siren assassin. Zhou Leng rushed to the edge of the illusion and the frozen celestial sphere, where five innate demonic creatures attacked from different directions.

The two sides are getting closer and closer.

The whole process was too fast, and no one was able to lend a hand.

At the very front, a muscular, innate beastman swung a spiked club, aiming it at Zhou Leng.

Four innate demonic creatures surrounded them from both sides.

Zhou Leng used both strength and gentleness in his left hand to swing the spiked club away.

He rushed in front of the orc, stomped his feet on the ground, and unleashed both palms.

Its legs are like an elephant's, and its arms are like a dragon's.

boom!
His blood and qi exploded, bursting forth in a vast expanse of white vapor.

The moment his two palms struck the innate beastman's chest, his body's blood and qi erupted a second time.

Puff puff……

Covered in arrows, he flew backward.

The arrow, imbued with true energy, shot towards the other four innate demonic creatures.

The two sides were too close, and the four innate demons did not have time to react.

Puff puff……

A hundred arrows flew wildly, piercing through the four innate bodies.

It could pierce the eyes and brain, or penetrate the chest and tear the heart.

They all fell to the ground.

The muscular innate beastman in front of him exploded in the chest and abdomen, his upper body flew out, and his lower body crashed to the ground.

Zhou Leng's numerous wounds healed rapidly, with fresh blood flowing backward.

Those arrows that flew backwards were not stained with a single drop of blood.

Zhou Leng glanced back at the Great Innate Realm behind him, then rushed out of the illusion and the frozen celestial sphere. Instead of running away, he charged towards an Eye Demon.

With a single palm strike, the Eye Demon burst open like a balloon filled with blood.

At this moment, the Great Primordial Being of humanity rushed towards Zhou Leng.

Upon realizing their ambush had failed, the three demonic beings, all at the Great Innate level, turned and fled with their subordinates.

"Want to run?"

Zhou Leng took out a bundle of demonized javelins from his demonic pouch.

Grab it, twist your body, take a step, land, and throw it.

huh... huh... huh...

One after another, supersonic demonic spears pierced the backs of innate demons, leaving large, bloody holes, each over a foot in diameter, on their bodies.

He threw fifty spears in one go, killing twelve Xiantians and severely injuring thirty-one others.

The accuracy was so high that all the Grandmasters present were astonished.

Zhou Leng rushed over, retrieved the demonized spear and the demonic spirit bag from the demon, and finished off the severely injured demon.

A magic master flew into the sky, collected the Frozen Celestial Sphere, shrunk it to the size of a fist, and threw it to Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng put it away and looked around.

The innate demons either perish or flee far away.

In this battle, a total of 121 demons were killed.

Zhou Leng alone killed 48 demons.

The non-combatants in the camp watched for a while and then cheered.

The war correspondent was thrilled; the front page headline for the Battle of the Demon City was here!
They even came up with a title.

Where righteousness lies, even with a hundred arrows in one's body, one can still slay demons.

A master of innate talent walked over.

"Siren Assassin, please return to the camp to rest immediately. Your injuries are too... Where are your injuries?"

The persuasive words came to an abrupt halt.

Zhou Leng's entire body was free of wounds, with only a few faint red marks in a few places.

"Thank you for your kindness, but the battle has just begun."

Zhou Leng disappeared into the crowd and entered the water.

On the lakeside, a green-skinned fish demon, wielding a bone spear and howling, had a fish head and body, but legs and feet, and stomped along the ground.

Suddenly, the green-skinned fish demon hurled a steel spear to each of its left and right.

A spear struck the head of a primordial merman, blowing off most of its skull.

A piercing hole went through the chest of a blue-skinned siren.

Numerous sea monsters roared and flew into a rage.

Then, the green-skinned fish demon darted back into the lake and disappeared.

A short while later, a rusty iron general sneaked up to the rear of his own camp and threw three fine steel spears in succession.

The supersonic spear, carrying immense power, struck the three innate demons.

Two were killed instantly, and one was on the verge of death.

After making his move, General Rusty immediately fled far away.

Throughout the day-long battle, a demon would occasionally appear and ambush the Innate Realm, leaving all the demons and Innate Realm beings on edge.

All ambush plans failed.

Because that siren assassin had completely changed his style, attacking and then fleeing, and apart from grandmasters, no innate master could keep up with him.

Even if you occasionally use a magic mark, it will be dispersed by the opponent's powerful blood and energy.

The battle raged from day to night, and the warriors of both armies still could not break through the demons' encirclement. Fortunately, due to the large number of demons dying off in the early stages, the pressure was greatly reduced.

That night, the commander of the 7th Division's reinforcements used the magic spirit master to report the situation to the Water Island base, including the deeds of the siren assassin.

After listening, Chen Shouhu pondered for a moment and said, "Use the Demon Spirit Communication to transmit the information of all the Innate Battle Merit Tokens."

"Yes."

Soon, the information about all the innate battle merit plaques of those who participated in the Battle of Taihu Lake was transmitted to the Martial Arts Brigade, and the battle merits were sorted.
