Chapter 2865 The Killing Plan Begins
He hoped that his sacrifice would become an asset to He Lingchuan and Panlong.
He Lingchuan took out a red battle axe:
"To wield this divine artifact, one needs power far exceeding that of an immortal. Hu Min and the others couldn't control it, and I need to conserve my energy."
Just standing here and saying a few words, he could feel his life force draining away. He wondered what it would be like when a fight broke out.
He was severely wounded from the long battle; his body was like a rice sack with a gaping hole, impossible to repair even with all efforts, and he could only watch helplessly as the rice grains leaked out in large quantities.
He Lingchuan knew that the rice would eventually leak out completely, leaving nothing behind. This feeling of inevitably sliding towards death would be terrifying for anyone, but He Lingchuan was numb. He had more important and urgent problems to deal with. Fear and worry, these personal emotions, had to take a backseat.
He had very little strength left and had to save it to deal with his most important opponent.
"The remaining power in this axe is enough for one more strike! When I say 'begin,' please throw this battle axe towards our target!" In any case, the sandstorm was everywhere on this battlefield, so Zhong Shengguang was everywhere too. As long as He Lingchuan stood in the wind, Zhong Shengguang could hear his whispers.
After saying this, He Lingchuan gently tossed the battle axe towards the whirlwind.
A whirlwind swept the battle axe into the sky, where it disappeared.
If it were Zhong Shengguang a quarter of an hour ago, he probably wouldn't have been able to wield this divine weapon. But after he transformed into a demon spirit and combined it with the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl, he possessed formidable and domineering power.
He Lingchuan had witnessed the raging sandstorm of later generations. Even without the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl, Zhong Shengguang had kept his oath for over a hundred years, allowing the raging winds to protect Panlong Ancient City; now, he could transform into a demon spirit in an instant, without having to wait three days, and could even stand up to a great demon like Pili Tian. This was because he had combined the power of the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl—the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl had acquired far more energy in this time and space than in history, and was therefore much more powerful—and because he had chosen to concentrate all his power, which could have been released gradually for over 150 years, into a complete explosion within this half hour!
Only then did Zhong Shengguang, or rather, the Mad Sand Demon, become qualified to wield the divine weapon, the Flying Axe.
……
The tent flap was rolled up to face Panlong City, allowing Gao Huaiyuan to see the battlefield from afar without even leaving the tent.
He is very anxious now. He thought that after taking over Mingshalin, he could quickly crush Panlongcheng, but the other side has been holding firm until now.
Even with Pili Tianzun personally taking action, the battle is still at a stalemate!
Panlong City is clearly out of resources and food, so why does it refuse to fall?
Even after fighting Panlong City for several months, Gao Huaiyuan realized that he had far underestimated the country's resilience and ruthlessness. Judging from this, if it weren't for the descent of a great deity, he probably wouldn't have been able to conquer Panlong even after several more months of fighting.
He experienced a sense of powerlessness once again.
As the overall commander of the battlefield, he had done everything he could. However, with the battle progressing to this point, even with thousands of troops, they could only squeeze through the natural bridge, destined to be unable to utilize their numerical advantage. To breach the walls of Panlong City, they could only rely on the immortals and demons.
Observing the unusual situation on the battlefield, he couldn't help but ask, "Celestial Venerable, didn't you say before that the Panlong's power had been exhausted and that we would be able to storm the city soon? But now this black dragon has suddenly appeared..."
The black dragon, as the guardian beast of the city, not only left the city wall and penetrated deep into the enemy's territory, but also launched a majestic attack on Pili Tian. It showed no signs of being defeated or exhausted.
The guardian beasts all looked incredibly energetic; who would dare say that Panlong City Wall had no energy left?
"It's just an illusion." The person who answered him had a somewhat blurry face, as if covered by a thin veil, and a small inverted triangle tattoo on his neck.
This is still Pili Tian, but only as an avatar of Him.
This time, Pili Tian descended completely as a god, personally going to the battlefield, and not forgetting to leave a clone by Gao Huaiyuan's side, both to protect him and to supervise him.
"They mostly borrowed the power of the large square pot."
Gao Huaiyuan was startled: "If Panlong can use the Great Square Pot, then today's battle will probably drag on until after dawn!"
He now had a good idea of what kind of treasure the Great Square Pot was. Just how powerful must it be to be a treasure that even the Venerable Spirit Void had coveted for thousands of years?
His heart sank. "Dawn" was not only Panlong's life-or-death line, but also his.
At daybreak, General Hong will lead his troops to the scene, and the two commanders of Bejana, Zhang Kangyi and Du Shi'an, will also arrive to relieve him of his military command.
At that time, all will be lost.
"What are you afraid of?" Pi Litian saw through his worries. "At worst, we can intercept those two teams and prevent them from reaching Panlong City."
Since Zhang Kangyi and Du Shi'an could not personally deliver the message, they could not publicly announce the Demon Emperor's decree, nor could they accuse Gao Huaiyuan of treason on the spot.
Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan's secret of disobeying the emperor's orders could be kept hidden for a while longer.
Gao Huaiyuan smiled bitterly: "After dawn, our army will also run out of energy."
The energy of his Bega army was rapidly receding, and as its commander, he was fully aware of this!
However, since they won the Battle of Mingsha Forest and pushed the Panlong army back to their lair, the Bega army is currently in a state of collective excitement and high morale. As a result, the decline of Yuan power is not so obvious for the time being.
But in at most 15 minutes, the soldiers will realize what's happening!
At that time, the fact that the army's Yuan Power had been stripped away by the Demon Emperor would no longer be able to be concealed. He dared not even think about the blow that would be dealt to the army's morale.
“You don’t need to worry, Panlong City is just experiencing a brief resurgence.” Pili Tian stated the most basic fact. “If they could freely use the power of the Great Square Pot without any cost, why did Panlong only use it now? Why did they sit idly by and watch us take over the Mingsha Forest?”
These words made perfect sense, and Gao Huaiyuan immediately saw a glimmer of hope:
"Are you saying that the power Panlong obtains is unsustainable?"
“Of course,” Pi Litian said calmly. “This black dragon is no match for me. It’s doing its best, but it’s only stalling for time.”
Gao Huaiyuan asked the clone of Pi Litian with eager eyes, "Could you...?"
He was in agony, desperately hoping to defeat it as soon as possible so that this war could be put to an end.
Pi Litian knew what he wanted to say, but the black dragon was fighting for its life, and even Pi Litian himself could not easily crush it.
But He could indeed sense that the black dragon's power was limited and had its limits, because it shouldn't have been so powerful. The short-term burst of power gained by burning its life force would only cause it to exhaust itself more quickly.
Normally, Pilitian would just have to wait for it to run out of energy on its own, but now the situation is tense, and even the Great Heavenly Demon can't wait any longer.
"I can……"
At this point, Pi Litian suddenly stopped talking and turned his head to look southeast.
