Fang Yun looked up and saw a huge fireball falling from a great height. Not only was it emitting light and heat, it was also making a huge roar and even formed a strong gale that fell from top to bottom towards the crowd, blowing people all over the place and making it difficult for them to stand.
Suddenly, the huge fireball split into two, two into four, and continued to split, finally turning into hundreds of fireballs.
"Heaven destroys disrespect!"
Yan Ningxiao's voice suddenly rang out, like a verdict from heaven.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…
One by one, fireballs that were several feet in size followed a miraculous trajectory and landed accurately on the head of each Ice Emperor guard, instantly vaporizing them.
All four hundred Ice Emperor guards vanished into thin air.
Everyone was stunned by this powerful force. This was just a sacrifice of the three small animals, not the three middle animals or the three upper animals, let alone a big sacrifice like the four rivers and five mountains. This shows how powerful the power of ritual and Yan Ningxiao were.
Not only ordinary people, but even many scholars were extremely surprised. Everyone thought that the killing power of the military strategists was the strongest, and Confucianism was only strong when it was cultivated to an extremely high level and mastered the holy way. They did not expect that the seemingly most harmless etiquette could be so strong.
Some young scholars asked the older people nearby and soon got the answer. It turned out that etiquette was the law of heaven and earth formulated by the human race itself. Anyone who violated the etiquette of the human race would suffer damage that was multiplied or even dozens of times greater.
When the monsters and barbarians fought against humans, what they feared most were not the soldiers, because the power of the soldiers was understandable and traceable, but the power of those scholars who specialized in etiquette was completely incomprehensible to the monsters and barbarians, and yet it was extremely powerful.
"move on!"
Many people then came to their senses and continued running forward.
Before, no matter how badly injured the Ice Emperor's guards were, they could recover within one or two breaths. But now, it took three breaths before mist appeared where the Ice Emperor's guards disappeared. The mist slowly turned into water, and the water condensed into ice, and finally reshaped the body.
Compared with before, the bodies of the four hundred Ice Emperor guards have shrunk a lot, and the ice layer on their surface is increasing at an extremely slow rate.
Many scholars finally put their minds at ease, and realized that the great scholars of the human race were not completely helpless against the Ice Emperor guards. Once they put all their strength into it, these Ice Emperor guards at the distant level would be vulnerable. They were just conserving their strength.
Fang Yun sighed in his heart, this is the power of a great scholar, and it is only the power of a newly promoted great scholar. He did not even use his powerful righteousness, but he severely injured the Ice Emperor Guards who were helpless against the Grand Scholars. At the same time, he thought that if the great demon kings passed by the Ice Emperor Guards, it would be like cutting melons and vegetables. However, the great demon kings were far less versatile than the great scholars, and it was impossible for them to kill the scattered Ice Emperor Guards at once, and there would inevitably be a large number of casualties among the demon barbarians of the Ice Clan.
A shadow flashed across Fang Yun's eyes. Not to mention that these Ice Emperor guards had become very strange, if Yan Ningxiao consumed too much talent and energy here, it would have a great impact on the subsequent journey.
Suddenly, many humans cried out softly.
Fang Yun looked around hurriedly and found that all the statues in his sight had cracked and all the Ice Emperor's guards came to life.
There are a total of more than 1,100 Ice Emperor guards here, equivalent to more than a thousand immortal demon kings.
The pressure on the human race increased sharply.
Many scholars could no longer hide their surprise and discussed with their friends nearby why the Ice Emperor's guards were acting so abnormally.
Hu Li couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty the Moon Emperor, why is the Ice Emperor Palace so strange this time? According to common sense, there are not many humans, and at most there can only be three or four hundred Ice Emperor guards coming, but now there are over a thousand, and the Ice Clan can only encounter millions of troops."
Fang Yun shook his head slightly and said, "I also find this matter strange and have no clue. However, it may be related to the changes in the Ten Cold Ancient Land this time."
"Could it be targeting the human race? After all, humans are the only race in history that entered through the main gate?" Hu Li asked.
Fang Yun's eyes widened, then returned to normal and smiled, "Stop joking, how could this be." After saying that, Fang Yun fell into deep thought.
The appearance of thousands of Ice Emperor guards completely disrupted the human race's steps, causing Yan Ningxiao to keep attacking with all his strength.
During this process, the human race continued to move forward, getting closer and closer to the ice vein mountains, and there have been no casualties so far.
However, everyone can see that if this continues, it will be extremely disadvantageous to the human race in the end.
When facing the Ice Emperor's guards, the human race has an unwritten rule that even if they sacrifice ordinary people, they cannot over-consume the power of any great scholar. Otherwise, the human race will not be able to survive the final crisis.
However, now not only the Ice Emperor's guards are acting abnormally, but Yan Ningxiao has also become abnormal.
Hu Li whispered, "I heard the Zong family throwing dirty water on you again, saying that the reason you attracted so many Ice Emperor guards was because you were too ostentatious when you opened the main gate of the Ice Emperor Palace. If you only opened half of it like before, the Ice Emperor guards would never do that. This statement is simply ridiculous."
Fang Yun shook his head slightly, not caring. Then he closed his eyes and began to recall his memories.
In Fang Yun's mind, everything went back to the time when the Ice Emperor's guards began to attack, and then Fang Yun's divine sense began to observe the battle situation from all angles from high altitude, including all the details, in order to continue looking for the weaknesses of the Ice Emperor's guards and also to find the reasons for the changes in the Ice Emperor's guards.
Not long after, Fang Yun suddenly showed a look of shock, then his memory went back and he looked around in disbelief at the Ice Emperor's guards.
During the memory recall, Fang Yun came to a conclusion that was even more absurd than what the Zong family said. Ever since the Ice Emperor's guards went crazy, they all targeted him!
"Is it the power of the Ice Emperor Palace targeting me, or is there someone manipulating these Ice Emperor guards from behind? It turns out that there was a reason why the Ancient Demon Command Spell failed before!"
Fang Yun racked his brains but couldn't understand why these Ice Emperor guards wanted to kill him.
Afterwards, Fang Yun looked up at Yan Ningxiao and sighed softly. He suspected that Yan Ningxiao had also seen this, so he suddenly tried his best to stop the Ice Emperor's guards to prevent the human race from collectively blaming him, or to avoid a more terrible split.
Fang Yun's eyes were a little confused and he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
The human race was getting closer and closer to the Ice Vein Mountains, and it seemed that they would reach the Ice Vein Mountains in half an hour. Suddenly, thousands of Ice Emperor guards emerged from both sides.
Now, more than three thousand Ice Emperor guards are attacking the human race!
Yan Ningxiao could no longer conceal the fatigue in his eyes.
There was no way a newly promoted great scholar could last two quarters of an hour against three thousand Ice Emperor guards, not to mention that he had already been fighting with all his might for four hours.
"Brother Yan, please take a rest for a while." Ji Qingyang, a great scholar from the Wenwang family, stepped forward, glanced at everyone, and then looked at Yan Ningxiao.
Fang Yun clearly sensed that Ji Qingyang's eyes were deliberately looking at him.
Fang Yun gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Yan Ningxiao nodded slightly, slowly put away the desk, and then his body actually shook slightly.
Many people's faces changed drastically. They didn't expect Yan Ningxiao to be so tired.
The human race of 700,000 people is in danger.
Suddenly, Xiao Yetian bowed to Ji Qingyang and said, "Mr. Qingyang, please save some strength to prepare for the final battle."
The implication is that it doesn't matter if some people die now.
