Two thousand years ago, a strand of sword light flashed across the nine heavens, tearing through the sky.
The world recovered, and martial arts began to revive.
Two thousand years later...
Outside Hangu Pass.
The murderous aura emanating from the numerous powerful demons intensified, and the eyes of the half-step general-level expert revealed boundless killing intent.
"My lord, this Lin Xuan is like a stubborn rock, he won't listen to reason or force, persuasion to surrender is useless, why don't we just attack the city directly!"
A powerful demon of the Shang level said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry yet!"
The half-step general-level expert shook his head and chuckled coldly: "Our mission is to buy time and attract attention."
Whether Hangu Pass is breached or not is actually irrelevant.
Let's talk about it when the main force arrives!
"At that time, make a big commotion, preferably enough to attract the entire army of the Great Xia Kingdom of the human race..."
"Although it's a feint, it would be even better if we could actually break through Hangu Pass."
The powerful demon said in a deep voice, "Once Hangu Pass is breached, we can go straight to Shanhaiguan. With the help of the Eternal Life Sect, it will be even easier to break through Shanhaiguan."
"King Kong, you're probably still half asleep. Did you see that great formation? Do you think you can break it?"
A cold laugh rang out.
He was a peak-level expert of the Ghost Clan. He sneered disdainfully, his gaze fixed on the Hunyuan Star River Formation that enveloped Hangu Pass. His pupils shrank to a point, and he said coldly, "The human race is indeed a terrifying race."
This world has only been revived for less than three thousand years, yet it has produced such a master of array formations.
Such a massive formation is truly astonishing.
With this grand formation, they were inherently invincible.
"That's right, with such a powerful formation surrounding Hangu Pass, we simply can't break through it."
The leading half-step general-level expert nodded slightly, his eyes deep, also looking in the direction of Hangu Pass, seemingly lost in thought.
Array Master!
This is a very special existence, capable of turning the impossible into the possible.
Moreover, most of the truly top-tier individuals in this profession are human, which is one of the powerful reasons why humanity can stand tall among the heavens.
Lin Xuan's ability to set up such a grand formation demonstrates that his mastery of formations has definitely reached the level of a grandmaster.
Such a powerful array master is far beyond the reach of any demon of the Shang level. In fact, within their demon race, his status is comparable to that of a true general.
Moreover, he was one of the best among the generals.
This is why he wanted to win over Lin Xuan; if he could win over a master of array formations...
This is absolutely a great achievement, and the reward given by the clan is enough for him to break through his limits and truly step into the general level.
Unfortunately, Lin Xuan completely ignored him.
"My lord, is this great formation really that powerful? Is it possible that even you have no way to deal with it?" a powerful member of the Spirit Clan asked unwillingly.
"I can't break it!"
The half-step general-level demon expert shook his head, his eyes deep: "However, it's not that there's no way. In fact, any great formation can be broken through blood sacrifice."
It means someone has to die to fill the gap.
If there is enough bloodlust energy, the entire formation will be corrupted, and its power will inevitably be weakened many times over.
Then we can seize the opportunity to strike, making breaking the formation much easier.
"A blood sacrifice... how many people would that require?"
"At least hundreds of millions!"
The powerful demon spoke in a cold voice, as sharp as a knife.
hiss!
Everyone gasped in unison.
The blood sacrifice of at least hundreds of millions of lives is simply terrifying!
However, soon, madness reappeared in their eyes, and the demon clan expert gritted his teeth and roared, "So what if it's hundreds of millions? If we can really break through Hangu Pass, then we will be rich beyond measure."
As for sacrificing living beings, didn't we capture quite a few humans?
Let's use their lives to fill the gap first, and if that's not enough, let the other races below us share the burden!
"Hundreds of millions of living beings is a lot, but if you divide it among all the races in the heavens, it's not that much. At most, each family will contribute a few million..."
"That's right. Anyway, there are plenty of cannon fodder. The blood sacrifice formation will be a great opportunity to break through Hangu Pass."
"The outcome of the battle between the humans in Japan will be decided soon. We can't let them take all the credit."
"Blood sacrifice, give the order now to bring all the human slaves here."
...
Everyone gradually went mad, their eyes turning icy cold, showing no hesitation whatsoever in the face of the prospect of sacrificing hundreds of millions of lives.
In their eyes, as long as they can gain enough benefits, and as long as it's not their own kind that dies, they are nothing but ants.
Let alone 100 million, even if it were 1 billion or 10 billion, they would not hesitate to take it out as long as they could.
Inside Hangu Pass!
Seeing that the demons outside the city were not making a move, Lin Xuan frowned even more.
He vaguely realized that things were definitely not simple.
But he couldn't figure out where the problem was.
He just felt that there must be a reason why these evil spirits came to knock on the gate without warning, and now that they have gone to great lengths to come here, they are not making a move.
"No, what's wrong?"
Lin Xuan muttered to himself, "Their actions seem to be deliberately stalling for time..."
"Delaying time, yes, they are delaying time."
A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes, and a flash of inspiration seemed to run through his mind. He roared in a deep voice, "I know, they're feigning an attack."
They're deliberately stalling us.
This is a feint; these evil people definitely have a bigger plan.
The attack on Hangu Pass was a ruse; their real objective was to attack other places…
Upon realizing this, Lin Xuan suddenly understood and immediately urged Chu Lingkong: "Chu Lingkong, have our people left in Shanhaiguan inquire about the situation of the other secret and dangerous places at all costs."
"Let's see if any evil spirits are attacking, or preparing to attack..."
