The Inugami stayed silently all night beside the mole Xiaoqi's bones. In the early morning, he turned into a human and dug a small grave for her. He held her in his hands and placed her in it. He filled it with soil and carefully moved it away from the edge. Plant some wild flowers. He looked surprisingly calm, with no complaints or tears, just dull movements and eyes as empty as a dry well.
The fifth shadow demon originally wanted to step forward to help him, but was stopped by Chang Feng. He deliberately asked others to keep a distance from Inugami with him. At this moment, he may need some space to calm down his mood more than words of comfort. After all, it was just a farewell that separated him from Xiao Qi. Even though his sadness was deeply hidden, the more it happened, the more heart-wrenching it became.
In the lower city of Qingliang, the Demon Spirit Tribe is still struggling to stop the advance of the Demon Horse Cavalry Regiment. Although the cavalry regiment with only over a thousand people left has broken through the artillery defenses, there are still dedicated countermeasures deployed by the Demon Spirit Tribe in the city. The trap of the demon horse.
Amid the flashes of swords and shadows, there were two figures standing against the wind, bringing up two huge cyclones of demonic power as if to isolate everyone.
Li Gui's first attack just now was easily blocked by the mysterious man wearing Demon Spirit Clan armor in front of him. The man showed a calmness from top to bottom when receiving the attack. Even though he was using the back of the sword, he could still feel it. With the power of the two scimitars in his hands, he was not only able to defend against his attacks well, but also had multiple opportunities to counterattack. Li Gui thought it was a good thing that he used the back of the knife, otherwise he might have been injured by him long ago.
This is the first fight between Wangyue and Ligui. She has met him several times before in Dongyao and Wangcheng Yongchuan. She has also heard that he is a victorious general under the Amber Dragon King, and has even watched him. The scene when leading the cavalry regiment in training. He had also thought that he would have a discussion with him if he had the opportunity. Unexpectedly, this time he got his wish, but the situation was a little subtle.
Mochizuki looked at Hedge Ghost carefully. He was eight feet tall, with a heavy back and majestic appearance. There was murderous intent in the corners of his eyes and brows. The long-handled sword in his hand was one meter long. As far as he knows about the hedge ghost, although his sword skills are not delicate enough, his strength and endurance are better than his own. The best way to encounter such an opponent is to fight quickly, but it is easy to take advantage of him if he attacks too quickly. If you fail to control your strength and inadvertently injure your opponent, the difficulty will be doubled.
Compared with him, Li Gui had no worries. He only wanted to avenge his deputy general Zongli. The resentment in his heart was worried that he could not find an outlet. The meddling person in front of him appeared at the right time, so it was better to vent his anger on him first. . He suddenly used the knife with a gust of wind to blow up the sand from the ground, causing Wangyue's vision to become blurry in an instant. By the time Wangyue regained consciousness, the sword in Ligui's hand had already slashed down towards his face. He hurriedly scratched it with the Moon Shadow Knife and then dodged to the side.
But Li Gui followed up with a spinning slash. This move took a lot of strength from him. Although it still didn't hurt Mochizuki, it lifted him far away. Mochizuki lost his balance for a moment and had to kneel on the ground with one knee supported by a knife. As soon as he raised his head, he saw Li Gui seizing the opportunity to jump up and swing his knife down at him. He quickly blocked it with the Moon Shadow Knife in his other hand, but was followed by Li Gui's kick in the abdomen.
Mochizuki pushed Li Gui's knife outward, jumped a little far away from him, coughed twice, and wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand, which turned out to be bloodshot. He thought that if he wasn't wearing armor, he must have suffered more. Serious injury. I was still confident that I could persuade this stubborn bull, but I didn't expect that not only would I have a fierce fight with him, but I would also have to watch many soldiers from the Demon Spirit Tribe and the Cavalry Regiment fall around me.
In fact, he felt the same way about Hedge Ghost at the moment.
When it comes to deep-seated hatred, he also has it in his heart. When he was wrongly accused by everyone in the Tianquan Palace, he secretly let Yaksha go, which led to Ouyang Xiaoleng being attacked, humiliated and imprisoned in a dungeon. However, the red-eared demon spirit who plausibly accused him of being a traitor was the one who actually took refuge with Qingyun in the royal city. Traitor.
The truth was always ironic and cruel. When the clouds cleared, he really wanted to go straight to the upper city and cut the red-eared demon into pieces, but he couldn't abandon that early morning when Ouyang Hongye let him leave the royal city. , the promise he made. It was precisely because of that promise that he traveled all the way from the Fire City of Chi Lamir to the Tucheng Qingyang, completing tasks one after another incognito and in secret. He suffered from displacement and loneliness. He was really tired.
Li Gui thought that his kick just now would definitely injure the opponent seriously, but he saw that he quickly stood up unsteadily with his head lowered. The demon power cyclone around his body was even more powerful than before, in the air. It expanded rapidly and even caused sparks from friction.
He did not draw his sword, but came straight towards him. The strange thing was that the hedge ghost felt that his body was frozen. He could neither resist nor dodge, so he had no choice but to let himself be knocked back by him.
When it comes to strength, He Gui has never lost to anyone, so he is quite dissatisfied. He takes a deep breath, exerts all his strength, and takes a few steps to make his opponent stop, and then uses his anger to charge into a bullfight. Pushing the opponent out took a lot of energy from him, leaving him still breathing heavily.
"Hedge Ghost, do you still want to continue fighting?" Mochizuki took this opportunity to ask.
"If you can bring Zongli back to life, I will stop!" Hegui responded to him.
"You clearly know that Zongli will not survive, but what about the other soldiers under your command? Do you have to watch them die?" Mochizuki shook her head and asked.
"I don't care! Unless you knock me down, don't expect me to stop!" As he spoke, the hedge ghost had slowed down and began to attack Mochizuki again.
He clenched the long-handled sword in his hand and fired his bow from left to right, each blow filled with resentment towards the Demon Spirit Tribe and grief over the loss of Mane Li. Mochizuki only felt that his movements were getting faster and faster, and his sword strikes were getting harder and harder. He could only hold his breath and focus on defense as well as offense.
At this time, several people from the intelligence team finally arrived. In the early morning, they accompanied Inugami to bury the mole Xiaoqi, and waited for a long time but did not see Mochizuki return. Later, the continuous sound of cannons coming from near the city gate made them worried, so they also entered the city.
What they saw in front of them was far more tragic than they imagined. From outside the city gate to the lower city, there were corpses everywhere. Countless demon horse cavalrymen who were bombed beyond recognition fell in a pool of blood and flames. The remaining cavalry, without the command of the hedge ghost, fell into chaos and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the demon spirits. On the other side, Li Gui unexpectedly abandoned his soldiers and started fighting with Mochizuki.
Just when Chang Feng didn't know how to respond, Wang Yue's shout came from the distance.
"Chang Feng, find a way to stop them!"
He understood and began to lead his four men to try to prevent the two parties from continuing to fight. However, the warriors of the Demon Spirit Tribe and the Cavalry Regiment have already become jealous, and with their large numbers, the strength of Chang Feng and a few others is simply a drop in the bucket. As soon as the war here was calmed down, the war started again over there, over and over again, and the progress was very slow.
Just when Chang Feng was almost in despair, several young men riding monster horses broke into their sight like saviors. Among them, the young man in blue clothes and silver armor rushed over first. The red demon horse under him ran like a beating flame. With his left hand, he produced a divine dragon fire bow from his arm, and shot an arrow between Hegui and Wangyue. On the ground, the duel between them had to stop.
The young man in green riding a gray demon horse threw out the jade sleeve brocade from his sleeves, snatched the weapons from the hands of the demon warriors in front of him, and threw them into the distance.
Then look at the girl in a light lotus dress on the white demon horse flying down from the horse, using the pure black long knife in her hand to knock off the weapons in the hands of the cavalry regiment soldiers who were still fighting in just a few strokes.
As soon as the young man in white, who was full of a king's aura, approached, the remaining people put down their weapons in unison. The warriors of the Demon Spirit Tribe couldn't help but talk about it. That boy must be the current Lord of the Demon Realm, Ouyang Xiaoleng. Even if they had never seen him in the past, they could tell that he was almost exactly the same as the previous generation of Demon King Fox Ouyang Xueye.
The day after the Demon Horse Cavalry Regiment left the royal city, several teenagers couldn't help but set off with them. Although they had not fully recovered from their fatigue, they were still concerned about the safety of the intelligence team and the cavalry regiment. I can no longer wait calmly.
When Li Gui saw the young master Qian Qi, he finally regained his senses. Although he was still unwilling to do so, he had to put away the knife in his hand. He knew that he had made a big mistake this time. The Demon Horse Cavalry had never suffered such a tragic blow since its establishment. This undoubtedly declared the failure of his combat command. He subconsciously took off his helmet from his head and prepared to return him. To the young master.
Qianqi did not take his helmet, but said to him: "Although I don't know what happened in this short period of time, in any case, destroying the array materials in Tucheng Qingli is the top priority now. You My fault will be investigated by the Demon King Fox and my father in the future."
Li Gui felt even more ashamed after hearing this. He didn't expect that compared to his own recklessness, Qian Qi, who was still just a young man, already knew how to take the overall situation into consideration. He bowed deeply to Qianqi, and then put the helmet on his head again. Seeing this, his cavalry no longer wanted to fight.
The same is true for the Demon Spirit Tribe. In fact, some of them began to waver after listening to Zong Li's words. After all, their once glorious military careers have long passed, and now they have reached an age where they are about to return to dust. Later, they had to fight the cavalry regiment because the red-eared demon spirit suddenly fired at the opponent, but after a long battle, they felt powerless. The arrival of the Demon King Fox and his companions made them even less motivated to fight, so they simply stopped and took off their armor and sat on the ground.
The other part who were still willing to follow the red-eared demon spirit returned to the upper city and entered the Wangzi Palace with him.
