Chapter 2867 An Unrecognizable Target
“With your skills, you can’t throw the Blood Blade Axe.” Pi Litian looked at him and said, “Confess your accomplices and I will spare your life.”
"Your grandfather is Wang Lixing, the same name he always has!" the man laughed. "Gao Huaiyuan died a good and wonderful death, and you'll definitely be next!"
After he finished speaking, his eyes went blank and his head drooped down.
General Bega, who was standing nearby, quickly took over to check.
"...Heavenly Venerable, it seems he has self-destructed his divine soul."
"That guy was decisive enough to die easily." Pi Litian shook his head, staring into the abyss.
The culprit behind all this, the blood-stained flying axe, was originally stuck in the abyss. Now, as if summoned, it suddenly transformed back into a red light and flew away into the distance.
To chase or not to chase? Everyone, including the immortals and demons including Bega, looked at Pili Tian.
“No need to chase.” Pi Litian’s face was as cold as water. “This is bait thrown out by the enemy.”
Bai Zhantian's Blood Blade Flying Axe could return to its master instantly, without needing to make such a fuss. His conspicuous flight was intended to lure Bega's powerful figures into giving chase. This would weaken the defenses at Longgang.
He turned to look at the Panlong battlefield.
A sudden change occurred at the logistics camp, and Pi Litian instantly teleported back. With this formidable opponent gone, the Black Dragon immediately seized the opportunity and began to wreak havoc on the Bega army.
After Pi Litian left, there was no opponent on that battlefield who could match his strength.
Wherever the black dragon passed, people and horses fell in disarray, and even the few remaining immortals and demons on the battlefield had to avoid its sharp edge.
The arrows and supernatural powers of the Bega army had some effect on it, but the black dragon was completely unfazed. Even if it was wounded and damaged, the strong winds would quickly bring sand to mend its body.
Its body was originally a stone sculpture, blending seamlessly with the landscape of this wasteland.
With the help of the Black Dragon, the Panlong Army quickly recaptured the Natural Bridge, desperately drove the Bega Army off the bridge, and then marched towards the Panlong Wasteland!
On the gate of Panlong City, Xu Shichu had already arranged for someone to use supernatural powers to amplify the sound and shout to the Bega army:
"Gao Huaiyuan is dead! Gao Huaiyuan was beheaded at Longgang!"
"Gao Huaiyuan is dead..."
As the wind blew, their shouts were carried by the wind and could be heard across most of the battlefield in no time.
The Bega army at the front lines once again looked at each other in bewilderment.
They shouldn't have believed it, but Panlong City had been spreading so much information today that it was hard to distinguish truth from falsehood. Some things sounded absurd, but as time went on, everyone started to think they were somewhat plausible. Earlier, during the later stages of the Battle of Mingsha Forest, some Bega soldiers had already deserted. If the Great Demon King hadn't personally intervened, and the Panlong army hadn't abandoned Mingsha Forest, the Bega people would have given up long ago.
Now, people in Panlong City are saying that the commander of Bega is dead. Is that possible?
But regardless, the counterattack of the Panlong army and the rampage of the Black Dragon are facts.
At this point, many Bega people noticed that the light of their Yuan energy was getting weaker, and their strength, agility, reaction speed, and resistance to blows were all much worse than before. They didn't know if it was due to fatigue after a long battle or if their Yuan energy was really starting to decline.
Pi Litian frowned, then suddenly shot a beam of silver light at each of the two mountain peaks.
He then vanished from his spot and returned to the front lines; otherwise, no demon there could stand a chance against the Black Dragon. The Bega army had finally built up an advantage; they couldn't afford to lose it again.
As for the logistics camp, He had already strengthened its defenses with divine magic, and the Blood Blade Flying Axe attack was not something that could be easily unleashed. The enemy would most likely be unable to launch a second attack in the short term.
Behind a warehouse in the logistics camp, He Lingchuan and his men were observing Longgang from the shadows, their faces grave.
"Wang Lixing died a heroic death, but unfortunately we couldn't save him." The door panel had just been clenched so tightly that his fists were cracking.
It's hard for anyone to feel bad seeing their comrade die in front of them.
The one who just self-destructed and died was Wang Zhifang's son. Zhong Shengguang sent the father and son to infiltrate Longgang to assassinate Gao Huaiyuan, but they failed.
Wang Zhifang and others were killed, but Wang Lixing managed to escape. However, after the Blood Blade Flying Axe attacked Gao Huaiyuan, he couldn't resist rushing to check on him and intending to finish him off, but he was ambushed by the enemy.
Master Fuji couldn't help but ask, "Is Gao Huaiyuan really dead?"
“Judging from Pili Tian’s behavior, no!” He Lingchuan stared at Long Gang. “He was just angry, but not panicked.”
Therefore, the guiding star of the Bega army is still there, which means Gao Huaiyuan is still there.
“But the Blood Blade Flying Axe destroyed the entire mountain; everyone on it died.” Hu Min said, then suddenly realized, “Ah! He wasn’t on that mountain?”
Before leaving, Pi Litian cast a beam of silver light at each of the remaining two mountain peaks. If Gao Huaiyuan was already dead, why would he bother with such a gesture?
It is clear that the assassination squad's real target was probably not the original northern hilltop.
He Lingchuan nodded: "Gao Huaiyuan is an extremely cautious man. After being assassinated by Wang Zhifang, he knew that we would not let it go and would most likely attempt to assassinate him again."
It's actually quite sad to think about this. It's often only the weak who hope that assassination can turn the tide, because they simply can't win in a direct confrontation, so they resort to this last resort.
“Unlike me, Gao Huaiyuan doesn’t like to use himself as bait. So the best way for him to avoid danger is to simply not take any risks and use others to set traps.”
Bai Like was puzzled: "This is not right. I clearly saw him on that hilltop."
The door panel immediately said, "You've mistaken me for someone else."
"Impossible." Bai Like was very confident in his eyesight. "My eyesight is better than that of an eagle. I have the ability to see through things and the aid of my Yuan energy. How could I be wrong?"
He Lingchuan raised his hand to interrupt their argument, then pointed to the remaining two hilltops: "Now look at these two hilltops, which one is issuing orders to the outside world?"
Bai Like stared intently for a few moments before saying, "Is the mountain to the east called Shekou Peak? There are seven or eight people having a meeting in that small blue tent on the mountain. People take turns coming over to report, but no one goes in. They all stand at the tent door, and leave after they finish speaking."
As for the other mountain peak, people were busy in seven or eight large tents, whispering among themselves, but nothing was clear. He Lingchuan pointed to Shekou Peak: "Gao Huaiyuan is in that blue tent."
The door panel asked, "How can you be sure?"
Bai Like also said, "I have carefully examined everyone, and none of them are Gao Huaiyuan."
"This isn't your fault," He Lingchuan said sternly. "It's because Master Qianhuan is too shameless!"
"The Thousand Illusions Immortal?" The assassination squad members exchanged bewildered glances, wondering why the general had brought up this immortal for no apparent reason.
