Chapter 420: Catching a Turtle in a Jar
Half a month ago, Fang William received accurate intelligence about the five tyrants of the Free Alliance and announced that he would personally lead his troops to completely defeat the Free Alliance.
When Wei Huan became a god, the first person he attacked was the Freedom Alliance. At the beginning, he did not have a good understanding of his own strength, so he chose the Freedom Alliance as his first target.
At that time, the Free Alliance seemed to be the largest in size and had the most powerful people in the field, but due to the chaos of the population and the unstable alliance relationship, it could be said that it collapsed at the first blow and fled in all directions.
Therefore, although the Freedom Alliance seemed to be broken up by Wei Huan, it actually retained the most strength.
After that, the Free Alliance, under the leadership of the Five Hegemons, went underground and waged a guerrilla war against humans.
Human soldiers who go out on missions or for training are often ambushed by the Free Alliance.
The human race sent troops to encircle and suppress them again and again. When Dou Lin was still there, he even took action personally once. Even though he killed the Fire Tyrant and the Spirit Tyrant among the Five Tyrants, he was still unable to completely eliminate the Free Alliance.
As the current supreme commander of the human race, it is reasonable for Fang William to lead his troops personally to the battle after confirming the intelligence of the supreme leader of the Free Alliance.
The chariots of Blue Star and the flying magic weapons of the Canglan monks complement each other, and combined with the special way of traveling of other human beings, this army gallops across the vast land of the ninth-level world.
A week ago, the leader of the Sky Demons showed up, fought a brief battle with the human army, and then fled to the west.
During a military analysis meeting, a young general raised an objection: "That demon suddenly appeared and fled after a single strike. I suspect it's a trap. We can't pursue it anymore."
Four days ago, the Sky Demon Boss appeared again and used his space wormhole ability to set a trap, causing ten chariots to be trapped in it. If the Sky Demon Boss had not escaped again, it is very likely that the Blue Star chariots and the hundreds of thousands of people in them would have been sacrificed.
At the battle situation meeting that day, more and more people objected and asked Fang William to give up the pursuit, but Fang William acted contrary to his usual behavior and said, "If I don't take revenge, I am not a gentleman," and he must pursue the case to the end.
The young officer who first raised objections argued with reason and even took off his epaulettes, using his career to stop Fang William.
Unfortunately, Marshal Fang William not only did not take warning from this, but foolishly arrested the man and put him in solitary confinement.
For a time, criticism arose within the human race, with countless people privately discussing Marshal Fang William's dictatorship and beginning to miss the era of Marshal Wei Huan.
However, no matter how much dissatisfaction there was, the military order was as firm as a mountain, and the Challenge Legion still kept close to the trace of the Sky Demon Boss and chased him all the way to the far west, causing the entire legion's battle line to be stretched too long and almost broken at the beginning and end.
This is too dangerous!
These days, Fang William's ears are almost callused by the staff department. Even the leaders of several other civilized races frequently request to meet with Fang William, and disputes occasionally arise.
But Marshal Fang William still went his own way.
As expected, on this day, Fang William's "dictatorship" suffered retribution.
Early in the morning, a team descended from the sky, like a sharp knife, splitting the human army into two, and quickly surrounded the front half where Fang William was.
The encircling force was three times the size of the human army, for the first time forcing the usually invincible human army to flee like ducks, ultimately trapping them in a group. The human challengers were forced to retreat to their chariots, relying on their defenses to engage in a difficult offensive and defensive battle against the alien challengers of the Free Alliance.
When the sky was just getting light, a strong smell of blood filled the earth.
After being ambushed and cut off from the front, and then intercepted by the Free Alliance, the faces of many soldiers in the latter half of the human army showed expressions of pain and despair for the first time in more than 20 years.
Lord Death saved humanity from despair, and Lord Space God extended humanity's glory for another ten years.
The gods have only ascended for five years. Is the darkest hour for humanity about to come again?
"We must break out as quickly as possible and rescue Marshal Fang." Haotian of the Canglan Civilization said to his disciples, "Regardless of whether Marshal Fang's strategy this time is correct, we cannot abandon him at this moment. Moreover, Marshal Fang is already a half-step god. Whether humanity can maintain its glory depends on Marshal Fang."
An elder of the Canglan Sect whispered to Haotian, "Ancestor, you are also a half-step god. As long as you are fine, humanity will remain glorious."
Haotian glared at the elder and said, "You idiot, humans should be united in honor and disgrace. The ninth level world is a racial war. If we fight among ourselves, we will only be laughed at by other races.
Besides, even if I become a god, what does it matter? Blue Star already has four gods. If Marshal Fang died here today, do you think we, Canglan, would be able to take power?"
Haotian saw it clearly, but there was another thing that he was not convenient to say.
Even based on his understanding of Fang William, this action was full of strangeness. Chasing the enemy all the way here was definitely not a decision that a leader who was good at defense would make.
Similar situations also occurred in various ethnic civilizations. Even though there were many discussions, the good news was that no army fled. Instead, they tried at all costs to rescue the Blue Star army that had fallen among the enemy.
One wanted to break through, the other wanted to rescue. Although both sides tried their best, they were still powerless. This scene finally gave the Tianyao boss a way to vent the evil anger in his heart.
25 years, a full 25 years!
Think about how glorious it was 25 years ago. It had the support of hundreds of people and was the strongest. In its eyes, humans were just a group of ants that could be easily crushed.
But it was hunted by this group of ants for 25 years!
Like a dog.
How could it not hate? And how could it not feel joy at the human race's embarrassment?
The most important thing is that it knows clearly that all the human beings here will die in a while.
Who cares if they're a half-step god? Or if they're the strongest legion? Encountering a god makes us weaker than an ant, destined to be destroyed!
"Blood sacrifice!"
The Tianyao boss was very happy and called his men behind him and gave orders.
It had been preparing for this blood sacrifice for more than 20 years. The human race was strong and difficult to capture, so it had to find a way to gather the number of people for the blood sacrifice from several other tribes that had been wiped out by the gods.
The will of God came and ordered it to capture Fang William alive. It was unwilling to kill only Fang William, so it designed a lure and sacrificed a large number of important subordinates. It not only attracted Fang William, but also attracted Haotian and a large number of important leaders of the human race.
This time, it will definitely inflict severe damage to the human race, making it difficult for them to be arrogant again! !
The bloody smell filled the earth because of the death of the sacrifice.
The leader of the demons crawled on the ground, praying for the response from the gods. He was extremely excited during the whole process, and his face was distorted.
finally……
finally!
The time for revenge has finally arrived!!
The energy of life was carried by the blood that surged into the sky, swirling upward toward the sky like a tornado, drilling a hole in the sky and revealing the pitch-black divine realm.
The pressure from the gods came down from above like a mountain, pressing down on the heart of the human army.
"God is coming!?"
There were cries of surprise from the human army, and the fear in their voices could not be concealed.
Ordinary mortals are indeed not able to contend with gods. Even though they have two half-step gods, they are still far inferior to real gods.
The elder of Canglan Sect grabbed Haotian and said, "Ancestor, as long as you are alive, we in Canglan have hope. If the gods come, even you will be like a moth to a flame.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Please leave with us!
Please leave with us!
please……"
"What do you know?" Haotian waved away the old men and women who were pulling his sleeves, staring at the sky with bloodshot eyes.
If he leaves today, there will be no return.
Human beings are a group. Even though they come from different worlds and have different civilizations, when they stand here, they are the human race.
This was a disaster for the human race, not for Blue Star. Could the gods summoned by the Sky Demon let Canglan go just because he took a step back? Impossible! Retreating would only lead to greater losses, leaving Canglan without his true support!
Even though he often had to make many considerations and choices, at this moment, he had no other choice.
At least he died here today, and Canglan still has the protection of the four gods of Blue Star, he must not escape!
There are quite a few people who have this idea. After all, the weight of the four gods is too heavy.
The option of "betrayal" had disappeared unknowingly. When we came to our senses, the human race had become a whole and could no longer clearly distinguish between you and me.
“Let’s fight!”
"That's right! Rescue Marshal Fang!"
"Damn it! When I get back, I'm going to impeach that bastard Fang William! But today, I'm either going to die here, or I'm going to leave with Fang William!"
“Charge!”
The gods were about to descend, and their landing location was the area where Fang William was. However, the human army, which was clearly isolated outside and could have easily left, chose to rush forward even more desperately.
The "blocking net" set up by the Free Alliance will soon be broken by the impact.
Fang William was in the driver's cabin. When he saw the two people appear in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The people who came were Wei Huan and Xu Qingqiang, who had hidden the aura of gods.
Seeing Fang William's expression, Xu Qingqiang joked, "Brother, what's with that expression? You didn't think we weren't coming, did you?"
Fang William smiled bitterly: "You don't allow me to worry? I'm not a piece of wood. I will still be afraid when I need to be afraid."
"Don't worry, the boss and I have been guarding outside this world and haven't dared to leave for a moment. We guarantee that they won't return this time."
The two joked for a while, and then quickly became serious again.
"Sure enough, it's just as you planned. The gods have descended."
"This is inevitable, but what I didn't expect is that those people didn't give up." Xu Qingqiang was referring to the legions from other civilizations that were blocked outside.
"The integration work over the years has been initially effective. Besides, the leader doesn't lack a sense of the overall situation. If they retreat today, there will be no place for them to stand in the Ninth Level World."
"Even so, it's rare to have the courage to make such a choice at a moment of life and death."
Wei Huan nodded and looked at the civilization headed by Canglan with admiration.
The Canglan civilization is also a short-lived species, and is obviously very similar to their Blue Star in most aspects, and has considerable potential.
However, Wei Huan was wholeheartedly focused on Blue Star and had always paid limited attention to the Canglan civilization. He only now remembered that Haotian had entered the Dao through the sharp laws of gold, and it was only a matter of time before he became a god. Now that the matter here was settled, he should meet him.
As he spoke, the hole in the sky grew larger, as if the entire sky was torn apart. The blue sky and white clouds had disappeared without a trace at some point, and only the edge of the torn sky was tinged with an ominous blood color.
A ray of white light fell, and before it even hit the ground, the land was frozen for thousands of miles. The extremely cold wind made a "woohoo" sound like ghosts howling, and the grass and trees were frozen into ice sculptures.
Immediately afterwards, an ice dragon appeared in the sky.
"The God of Extreme Cold?"
"It seems this godhood has been snatched away by their own people again."
"Ten years later, his godhood has been complete. Unfortunately, compared to the previous Ice Dragon, his strength is far inferior."
"That's right. That ice dragon has dabbled in other ice laws to some extent, but he only has extreme cold, so he is easy to deal with."
Mu Zhong and Xu Qingqiang were chatting leisurely, while Fang William on the side shook his head and smiled bitterly. In his eyes, it felt different. As long as one achieved godhood, ordinary mortals would be suppressed. He could hardly breathe under the other party's undisguised divine power.
Especially when the ice dragon's gaze swept across the Blue Star chariots, and then accurately landed on one of the chariots, releasing a strong murderous intent, Fang William only felt more pressure, as if the air was solidified.
Fang William's eyes were bloodshot, and he tried to release his solid shield field to resist the momentum directed at him.
He gave the order: "Everyone, attack the God of Extreme Cold with all your strength!"
Facing the gods, the human army did not lose their fighting spirit. Under strong pressure, they picked up their weapons and swung their swords at the gods!
What about God?
It’s just a stronger life through cultivation!
kill! !
Intensive artillery fire was fired from the chariot, and the firepower was far stronger than when it was used against the Free Alliance before. The Ice Dragon, who had just become the God of Extreme Cold, was forced to retract his claws that were grabbing Fang William.
This abnormal outburst attracted the attention of the Sky Demon boss. Why didn't they use such powerful firepower when they were surrounded? If they had used it at that time, they should have been able to escape?
Is it because they were facing a god that they used a disposable but extremely powerful weapon?
Or...or some other reason?
The caution of the Sky Demon Boss is obviously not necessary for the gods.
The God of Extreme Cold's "debut" was slapped in the face, and anger appeared in his eyes. He waved his ice dragon claws, easily freezing the artillery fire from the human chariots, and countless ice spikes shot towards the human army.
The human warriors relied on the defense of their chariots and their personal abilities to resist with great difficulty. For a time, the battlefield was filled with icy fog and the shouts of killing were deafening.
Fang William gritted his teeth and persisted. Although his solid shield field could barely protect the surroundings, under the pressure of the power of the God of Extreme Cold, cracks began to appear in the field.
Wei Huan and Xu Qingqiang hid aside, quietly observing the battle situation.
They knew very well that now was not the time to take action. The stubborn resistance of the human army was an important part of the plan. Only by delaying the time sufficiently could they lure out the real "big fish".
Finally, at the critical moment, the army that was blocked on the other side, led by Haotian and other Canglan monks, broke through the siege and killed their way in.
The two sides joined forces and cooperated tacitly. They used the chariots as their stronghold and formed a defensive formation. At the same time, they sent out elite teams to attack the God of Extreme Cold from the flank, launching a round-the-clock battle.
Although soldiers continued to fall under the attack of the ice spikes and the number of casualties gradually increased, the morale of all soldiers was like a burning flame, with no signs of weakening.
"These soldiers are great!" Xu Qingqiang praised in a low voice.
Wei Huan nodded slightly: "They are the backbone of the human race. We are determined to win this battle. Wait a little longer, the big fish has not yet taken the bait."
Just when the battle reached a stalemate, the space suddenly twisted, and the figure of the Skeleton Middle God, emitting a decaying aura, slowly emerged.
His body was white as ice, hanging down from the big hole in the sky. His slender half body was facing downwards, and his big head was facing downwards. His body was soft and had the unique shape of an invertebrate insect. His pair of black eyes without whites blinked, and a terrifying pressure from a mid-level god was released.
It looked like a pale, rotten, dead fish eye, with a maggot crawling out of the eyeball.
As the Skeleton Priest appeared, he let out a sharp, piercing whistle, the sound like a blade slicing through the air. Immediately afterwards, the skeletons around him seemed to come alive, wriggling and instantly transforming into countless bone blades, shooting towards the human warriors.
Wherever the bone blade passed, black cracks were created in the air. Its target was extremely clear, and it rushed straight towards Fang William.
Obviously, it was following the secret order of the Lord of Flesh and Blood and was determined to seize the ancient divine body cultivation method.
"Here it comes!" Wei Huan said in a low voice with a flash of excitement in his eyes.
Xu Qingqiang clenched his fists, and the power of the blood law in his body began to surge. His whole body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of blood-colored light, ready to attack at any time.
At the same time, the ancient god insect hidden outside the domain, after receiving the order from Wei Huan, its huge body instantly expanded, and its already huge size became even more overwhelming.
He emerged from the void and tightly blocked the entrance to the passage. He exuded an ancient and powerful aura, like an insurmountable barrier.
Any god who attempts to return to the divine realm from here will be stopped by him.
"I've finally waited for it. This time, I must make sure it never comes back!" Xu Qingqiang gritted his teeth, his words full of ruthlessness.
Wei Huan and Xu Qingqiang looked at each other, their eyes conveying a tacit understanding.
The next second, the two of them rushed towards the Skeleton God at the same time like arrows.
Wei Huan danced with the corrupted spear in his hand, and the power of the law of the filthy earth surged out, wrapped in a thick aura of death and the mysterious power of corruption, like a giant black dragon, pouncing on the God of Skeletons with bared fangs and claws.
Xu Qingqiang's blood law also echoed with Wei Huan's power. The blood-red light around him became more and more intense, as if it was going to dye the surrounding space into a sea of blood.
The Skeleton God suddenly turned his head, his face full of disbelief, and then twisted and ferocious.
"Why are you here!? In the world!?"
He was afraid.
Disaster, two disasters were actually waiting for him in the world?
It's a trap! It's a trap!
When he saw the two people appear, it was as if he also saw the scythe of death swinging at him.
The Skeleton God wanted to escape, but his path was blocked by the Ancient Godworm, so he could only rush into battle in panic.
The huge volute was like a sledgehammer, swinging down at the two men.
Wei Huan and Xu Qingqiang dodged left and right, separated from both sides, and easily avoided the attack.
While they couldn't unleash their divine powers within this world, their ancient divine bodies were unrestricted as long as they didn't activate the "Mountain Divine Mark." However, when gods descended into this world, they could only descend in their divine form. Without the blessing of their divine bodies, in the eyes of Wei Huan and Xu Qingqiang, they were like beasts without sharp teeth and claws, possessing only a superficial appearance, unable to display their might.
Wei Huan and Xu Qingqiang came up and fought with the Skeleton God. After all, he was a mid-level god. Although he had no claws, he had thick skin and flesh. Unable to use the "Mountain Divine Pattern", Wei Huan and Xu Qingqiang could not do anything to him in a short time.
Powerful energy overflowed from the sky. The aftermath of the three men's battle caused the surrounding space to continuously distort and deform, as if it would collapse at any moment. The human warriors retreated, seeking safety, fearing being drawn into this battle between gods.
“Is that our God?”
"That's Marshal Wei and General Xu!"
"They're back! Our gods are back!"
The human warriors cheered and for a moment forgot that they were on the battlefield. Many of them even walked out of their chariots and looked up at the sky with shining eyes.
Haotian was also among them. He was standing on a flying sword, wearing a silver wide-sleeved robe and a white jade crown on his head. He was dressed like an ancient man and looked at the two figures in the sky with strange eyes.
At this moment, everything that I couldn't understand before became clear.
No wonder this battle was full of weirdness. Marshal Fang William, who should not have been reckless, became the most reckless and radical. It turned out that it was all for this moment!
The battle between gods cannot be observed, but now both sides have suppressed their strength in the world, so that both sides on the battlefield can see it.
Haotian's eyes lit up as he watched, his face showing amazement, envy, and anticipation.
Xu Qingqiang's body was agile and ghostly, and he instantly circled behind the Skeleton God.
"Hehehe." He formed his hands into claws, his nails pitch black as if devouring space, and clawed at the back of the Skeleton God's neck, tearing even space into cracks.
He danced with his claws at a speed that was too fast to keep up with, accompanied by a burst of strange "hehehe" laughter, which made the Skeleton God scream in pain.
Wei Huan brandished his corrupted spear like a poisonous snake emerging from a cave, piercing the Skeleton God's brow. The power of the ancient god's body was as great as that of a hundred mountains, and the Law of the Dirty Earth was hidden on the tip of his spear.
If the Skeleton God were to be hit by this blow, he would surely die.
At the critical moment, the God of Skeletons quickly shrank his body into the snail shell, but ultimately chose to hide out of instinct.
When snails and turtles are attacked, can't they just hide back in their shells?
"Look at my attack!" Xu Qingqiang roared loudly and scratched the snail shell with his claws.
A bright light flashed on the snail shell, and Xu Qingqiang was flung out.
"Oh shit!"
Xu Qingqiang had no godly demeanor at all. A blood mist gathered around him, and he rushed back like a blood-stained blade.
“Hehehe!”
Catch, catch, catch!
“Hehehe!”
Scratch scratch scratch!
Although this snail shell is not the body of the Skeleton God, but is just the transformation of the divine laws, it is also extremely strong, and Xu Qingqiang is actually unable to do anything with it.
Just when everyone was watching anxiously, a scream suddenly came from the other side.
Only then did they realize that they were attracted by Xu Qingqiang's momentum and forgot that there was not only Marshal Wei on the battlefield, but also a lower-level god.
Just when they were distracted, Wei Huan took action.
