I have been slaying demons in the Demon Slayer Division for thirty years

Mid-August.

As the full moon approaches, Daqian soldiers gather at the blessed land of Qingqiu.

It has been more than a year since the Great Qian Dynasty's southern expedition. There are four pavilion elders presiding over the government, two of whom are Emperor Hongde's confidants.

There was also Wang Bo'an, the political envoy, who reported on matters in the court at any time. Although Emperor Hongde was far away from the territory, he still firmly controlled the power of the court.

At the same time, the southern expedition army sent back good news one after another, which stabilized the hearts of the lower classes.

As the wealth of the plundered demon country was brought back to Daqian, even if it flowed into the people, the people of Daqian breathed a sigh of relief.

Central military tent.

Emperor Hongde summoned the seven governors to discuss attacking Qingqiu blessed land and completely destroy the demon kingdom.

Formation master Zi Yuan Zhenren reported: "Your Majesty, Pindao has carefully inspected Qingqiu Blessed Land. It is the fastest way to crack the formation from the north. You can see the inside of Qingqiu Blessed Land within a month."

The Qingqiu blessed land has been inherited for 900,000 years, and the protection formations and restrictions are layered one after another. However, destruction is always faster than construction. There is no need to consider the interaction of the formations and restrictions, just remove them all. .

Master Ziyuan leads thousands of monks who are proficient in formation restrictions, and in one month they can break through the passage from the east and reach the interior of the blessed land.

Emperor Hongde warned: "Don't forget to set up the formation when breaking the formation. Set up formation restrictions outside Qingqiu to defend against sneak attacks by monsters."

Ziyuan Zhenren said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Pindao will arrange demon-killing, air-forbidden and other formations on the outside. If Qingqiu dares to go out and commit crimes, the army will wait for work and can easily defeat the demon clan."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Emperor Hongde smiled and was very kind to Master Ziyuan.

On the one hand, there is an urgent need for a formation master at this time, and more importantly, the Taoist sect has now turned over, and the true immortal ancestors have frequently shown themselves as saints.

"According to the rules set during the Southern Expedition, whichever army reaches Qingqiu first will be the Chinese army attacking Qingqiu."

Emperor Hongde glanced at the eight governors, and finally landed on Shen Chongshan, and said: "I originally thought that the first one to arrive would be the Luojing Forbidden Army, but I didn't know that Shen Aiqing's army was like a front and arrived first."

Shen Chongshan quickly stood up and saluted, saying: "There are many demon cities in the north. The general just took advantage of the direction and did not dare to compete with Governor Xu for the position of commander."

"There are no jokes in the army, and Shen Aiqing does not need to be humble!"

Emperor Hongde said: "From tomorrow on, Shen Aiqing will be in charge of the central army and dispatch other soldiers to destroy Qingqiu as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your grace!"

Shen Chongshan's face showed excitement. With him as the commander in this battle, the day Qingqiu is destroyed will be remembered forever.

Governor Xu on the side looked calm, but glanced at Governor Sha, the commander of Zhenhai Navy.

As far as he knew, the first troops to arrive at Qingqiu were those under Zhen Haijun.

Governor Sha did not question it. Everyone could see that Emperor Hongde wanted to promote Shen Chongshan to the throne, so why should he bother His Majesty.

Afterwards, many details were discussed, and Shen Chongshan began to be the main one, deploying various armies as the left and right wings.

Emperor Hongde listened quietly. He was self-aware and commanded the army to fight. He was absolutely inferior to the generals present here, so he regarded himself as a mascot to boost morale.

After Shen Chongshan took charge of the commander's seal, he quickly mobilized all armies.

There is an army on each of the east, west, and south sides of Qingqiu Blessed Land, building fortification camps and setting up formations to prevent the demon clan from escaping.

The remaining four armies are gathering in the north.

The Tongcheng Army is the central army, the Forbidden Army is on the left, the Victory Army is on the right, and the Zhenhai Army is the rear guard. They have already approached within ten miles of the mountains outside Fudi.

Emperor Hongde stood on the building ship and looked at the army below, which stretched for hundreds of miles in confusion, and couldn't help but admire it.

"The Tongcheng army under Shen Aiqing has a neat lineup and a rainbow of momentum. No wonder they were the first to reach Qingqiu."

There were five million troops during the Southern Expedition, but now there are only about three million left.

After a year of bloody battles between various armies, in which nearly half were killed or injured, the army looked noisy and chaotic, much worse than the Tongcheng army.

"Since it's called a military formation, formation is the most important thing!"

Shen Chongshan said proudly: "If you can't even arrange the lineup well, how can you give instructions when marching and fighting?"

At this time, all the generals in the army were commanding below, and most of the people on the ships were escorted by Emperor Hongde. They didn't know much about the art of war. What Shen Chongshan said was very reasonable, and they all praised Marshal Shen as the military god of the world.

Qingqiu is about to be destroyed. Shen Chongshan has made great contributions and remains in the heart of the emperor. He will definitely be a pillar of the future.

The end of the rear army.

Li Xun's troops set up camp, and the soldiers rested in the camp, without the tension of a decisive battle.

In front of them is the Zhenjun Army, and in front of them is the Chinese Army, hundreds of miles away from Qingqiu Paradise.

After all, General Sha was still a little unhappy, but he had no choice but to disobey Shen Chongshan, let alone disobey Emperor Hongde's will, so he spread the atmosphere to Li Xun's tribe.

Aren't you good at fighting and invincible? Then put them in the back of the rear and watch the battle ahead.

I can't cure your majesty, and I can't cure you!

The military tent is under the banner of Xun.

Li Xun looked at the sand table in front of him and frowned. He had already learned from the immortal that Da Qian would be defeated.

Based on this result, we worked backwards and looked at the Daqian army formation in the sand table in front of us. We immediately saw a huge loophole.

"If the demon clan gathers and rushes straight into the Chinese army's tent, the Tongcheng army's combat power will surely collapse quickly."

Li Xun murmured: "The Tongcheng Army is guarding His Majesty's military tent. There is no room for any mistakes. Other armies will try their best to rescue. The military formation will be chaotic, and the greatest advantage of the human army to suppress the monsters will be lost."

"In a melee, the individual monsters are stronger than others, and the results are unpredictable!"

"There is also a big loophole in this deduction. Qingqiu has been defeated one after another, and now we are only trapped in the blessed land. We should wait for the Daqian soldiers to enter the blessed land and wait for work, so how can we choose to rush into battle and fight decisively?"

"Besides, the Chinese army is generally the strongest, even though"

Li Xun was thinking hard when suddenly there was a noise outside the tent, and then a guard came to report.

"General, the monsters are out!"

"What?"

Li Xun's heart sank, and he immediately walked out of the military tent with a bad feeling.

The formation of Qingqiu Paradise opened a huge light door, and endless monster beasts poured out from it. Tens of thousands of monster soldiers were flying in the sky and running on the ground, charging with the monster beast group.

Black demon clouds covered the sky and the sun. The demon king poked his head out of the clouds and opened his mouth to devour hundreds or even thousands of people.

The sudden change made Da Gan, who had just adjusted his military formation, react a little slower.

The demon army rushed directly towards the Chinese army, easily annihilating tens of thousands of forwards, and was only a few miles away from the Chinese army's tent.

The armies on the left and right wings immediately gathered to return reinforcements. The Chinese army only had to resist for an hour and a half, and the Forbidden Army and the Victory Army were able to form a trap, and the three armies worked together to strangle the demon clan.

The result was unbelievable. Before the demon clan came to kill them, the Chinese army collapsed on its own.

When the soldiers saw the ferocity of the demon, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. In order to run faster, they abandoned their helmets one after another.

Seeing this, the lieutenant general of the army drew his sword and hacked to death a few of the people who were leading the escape, in an attempt to restore the defeat. However, there were too many people running away and they could not be killed.

If you really kill everyone who escapes, there will only be a few people left.

Roar!

The monsters quickly chased after them. The two-legged ones could not outrun the four-legged ones. They bit and tore everyone they met.

Because they died too much and too quickly, blood spurted out in all directions, soaking the soil and turning it into mud. When you stepped on it, it crackled, and the splattered blood and mud dyed the monster bright red.

The sounds of wailing, tearing, broken bones, and screams before death were mixed with the roars of beasts and spread for dozens of miles...

More than 200,000 people fled, like a torrent scattered in all directions. Even if there were soldiers who wanted to fight, they could only be carried away by the torrent when faced with it.

Rays of escaping light rose from the military formation, and the upper-level third-level experts who were stationed in the army used their spells to kill the monsters, trying to block them for a moment until the armies on the left and right wings rushed to their aid.

"Niubi, your opponent is my king!"

The one who spoke was a ten-foot-long tiger with its feet on demonic clouds and pounced on a Taoist master.

The real person had no choice but to pause his spell casting. The fox demon in front of him had a strong aura and was much stronger than him. He must take it seriously.

Many demon kings rose into the sky and fought with the master of refining the gods.

In this way, no one could stop the demon army, and they quickly caught up with the defeated troops and slaughtered them wantonly.

In a pit on the ground, there were more than a dozen corpses lying in random directions. They were either disemboweled or had their heads bitten off. They all looked dead.

The big demon with a dog's head and human body passed by the pit, and the tip of his nose twitched and he smelled the smell of strangers.

"Jie Jie Jie, you actually want to pretend to be dead and get through!"

The five fingers of the dog demon stretched out like five sharp swords, grabbing at a headless corpse.

Underneath the headless corpse was a living person pretending to be dead.

Just as the claws were about to fall, an ape wearing a monk's robe appeared out of thin air, clasping his hands together and chanting the name of the Buddha.

"Amitabha! The benefactor is destined to have this calamity, so this poor monk will give you a ride!"

Hou Yuan exhaled softly, and the dog demon turned into fly ash, then wrapped around the man and turned into a escaping light to escape from the battlefield.

This man was protected by Hou Yuan and was lucky enough to escape with his life. Others were not so lucky and died in large swathes of monsters.

The war ship floating in the sky, the spiritual light of the formation shone, and the thunder and flames continued to fall, blasting the demon clan into pieces. However, the demon army soon mixed with the defeated troops, and the battlefield that stretched for dozens of miles was filled with humans and demons.

If the building ship rains thunder again, it will kill all of its own people.

At the same time, a giant beast flew out of Qingqiu Paradise, approaching the building ship with thunderous flames, trying to knock it down.

One of the boats has a bright yellow flag with the word "gan".

Emperor Hongde looked down dumbfounded. In less than half an hour, the Chinese army was completely defeated.

The defeated soldiers scattered and fled, which also caused great resistance to the soldiers who came to support them. It even caused the reinforcements to have doubts and lost most of their fighting spirit.

"This...this...what's going on?"

Emperor Hongde's eyes were red, and he stared at Shen Chongshan and asked, "How could General Shen lead the troops if he was defeated without a fight?"

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed to trust you!"

Shen Chongshan drew out the long sword from his waist, placed it across his neck, and said: "The guilty minister will die!"

brush!

The sword edge slashed across, and Shen Chongshan's head flew several feet high, and his soul was extinguished.

The Chinese army was defeated and the commander committed suicide. In this decisive battle with Qingqiu, Daqian had already lost 90%.

The only hope is the Martial Saint who protects the country!

At this time.

A stream of light flew out from Qingqiu, transforming into a strange demon king with a human face and a goat body, and broke through the defensive formation of the building and ship in an instant.

Several figures appeared from Emperor Hongde's side, most of them protecting him closely. One of them rushed towards the attacking demon king.

"Giggle."

The demon king let out a baby-like laugh, letting the magic of the master of refining the gods fall on him, reaching out and grabbing him and taking him into his hands.

"I like eating people raw the most!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sheep's head opened its mouth several feet wide, filled with tiger teeth, and swallowed half of the human body in one bite.

Creak, creak, creak!

As the demon king chewed, blood continued to flow from the corners of his mouth, making him look even more ferocious and terrifying.

In a few mouthfuls, he swallowed the god-refining expert into his belly. The demon king stepped on the divine light and chased the fleeing Emperor Hongde.

The demon king's escape technique was extremely exquisite, and he was chasing behind him in an instant. He opened his mouth wide and sucked in. Several masters of refining the gods were unable to resist, and they flew backwards into the demon's mouth.

Emperor Hongde looked frightened, took out the messenger jade from his sleeve robe, and shouted loudly: "Ancestor, save me!"

The silver sword light in the sky rose out of thin air and struck the demon king, as if it had melted into his body, without any scars.

Li Long manifested his body, stood in front of Emperor Hongde, and said coldly: "The Taotie Demon God himself is not afraid, but even a mere demon immortal clone dares to be so rampant!"

"Uuuuuu——"

Taotie seemed to want to speak, but he could only make meaningless screams from his throat. Then countless silver lights bloomed from his body, killing the souls of the demons and immortals hidden inside.

Emperor Hongde was trembling, bowed and saluted: "Thank you, ancestor, for saving your life. I also ask your ancestor to take action to kill the demons to restore the morale of the army."

"Um."

Li Long nodded in agreement and pointed towards the west.

The sword light flashed, and the demon king who was fighting with Master Lian Sheng was completely extinguished.

The demon clan is not good at cultivating the soul, and the method of the Heart Sword can directly cut the soul. It can be said to be the nemesis of the demon clan.

Just as Li Long was about to continue his attack, a female voice sounded from the sky.

"The mighty Martial Saint is so shameless and attacks a junior!"

Li Long looked up and saw a graceful woman who sneered: "How dare you appear in front of me, just a vixen? Have you forgotten my sword?"

"I remember it clearly, so the demon is back with revenge today!"

A formation diagram appeared in Hu Ling'er's hand, and she used magic to activate it, turning it into hundreds of spiritual lights and falling on the battlefield on the ground.

The spiritual light fell, and formation flags flew out from the demon soldiers, big demons, and even demonic beasts. They were connected together according to the formation, covering dozens of miles around in the formation.
