Xie Daoyun threw out several talismans and stuck them on Murong Qinghe. She immediately felt that she was much faster, and the two of them arrived at the scene in no time.
The Qin brothers were seen sitting back-to-back on the ground, wounded. Their few guards lay dead in pools of blood nearby, and the bodies of many demon soldiers were also around them.
The reason they weren't swallowed up by the numerous demon soldiers around them was because Xie Xiuzheng was risking his life to protect them.
Xie Xiu's fingers moved like lightning, and the chess pieces shot out like bullets, each time causing a demon soldier to fall—even those wearing elite armor couldn't withstand the attack.
However, there were too many demon soldiers around, and many of them were powerful demon generals. In addition, due to the formation, Xie Xiu gradually fell to the bottom.
Murong Qinghe let out a sharp cry and thrust out her spear, arriving at his side in the first instant to knock away several demon soldiers who were trying to ambush him.
Her figure was slender and beautiful, bound by golden armor, and with her long, slender legs, she instantly caught the eye of the surrounding demon soldiers, and their eyes became more excited as they rushed over.
Xie Daoyun hurriedly cast talismans, applying one auxiliary spell after another to her companions.
At the same time, rune arrays lit up in the sky, clearly gathering momentum for an attack.
At this moment, dozens of crossbow bolts shot over from a distance. Clearly, the enemy also had some discerning individuals who understood the danger and dared not give her the opportunity to fire.
Left with no other choice, Xie Daoyun had to withdraw the magic array and instead take out some talismans to defend herself.
In just a short while, a group of demon warriors rushed to her side, each of them possessing considerable cultivation.
Xie Daoyun was, after all, a rune array master. If given enough time and distance, she could wipe out this small army all by herself.
But in this environment, people don't give her any chance to show her skills, and she soon finds herself in grave danger.
Seeing this, Xie Xiu and Murong Qinghe hurriedly came to her aid, one with ranged attacks and the other with melee combat. Unfortunately, they were surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the group was forced into the enemy's formation. Soon, the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and the pressure increased.
Despair grew among them. The size of this enemy force clearly indicated that it was not their main force, but rather something designed to entangle them.
It goes without saying where the main force went.
The group thought of the human army dozens of miles away, which was completely undefended. If they were to be ambushed in the middle of the night, they would likely be wiped out.
However, they couldn't think about that now, because suddenly a dark figure flew out of the demon camp at great speed. Despite everyone's desperate defense and counterattack, they were still left with wounds.
At this moment, a bat-like monster hung upside down in the distance, looking at the demon soldiers with disdain: "You are all useless. You can't even handle these few people. Fortunately, the Second Prince sent me."
Although the soldiers were all furious, they dared not offend it. They knew that this creature was a black-haired bat demon from the extraterrestrial demons, with immense strength and a fondness for feeding on human essence and blood. If they were to die at its hands, they would suffer unspeakable pain.
At this moment, the black-haired bat demon looked greedily at Xie Daoyun and the others: "The little children are all full of spirit, especially these three little girls. Their delicate skin and tender flesh must be delicious."
Xie Xiu was furious: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, I'm a real man."
He took out a chessboard, and just as he was about to attack, he suddenly swayed and knelt on the ground: "Poison!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Xie Daoyun and Murong Qinghe also felt dizzy and looked at the wounds on their arms, where black blood had already seeped out.
"Hehehe, beautiful ladies, accept my first embrace and become my slaves forever." The black-haired bat demon would never let go of such a good opportunity. It pounced on the two women in an instant, its fleshy wings spreading out to be several feet wide, instantly enveloping the two women.
Xie Daoyun was about to summon something, but the poison surged up and she couldn't move at all.
She was filled with regret; she still lacked combat experience. If she had forced herself to activate the Supreme Divine Firmament Talisman immediately, the battle might have been very different.
A resolute look flashed in Xie Xiu's eyes. Several black and white chess pieces around him flashed, and the next moment Xie Daoyun and Murong Qinghe appeared beside him, while he himself appeared in the wings of the black-haired bat demon.
This is the unique skill that the teacher developed based on the principles of Go – "Substituting a Plum for a Peach," which is similar to the idea of sacrificing a piece in a game of Go. As long as one believes that one can gain more profit, one can sacrifice a piece.
It's just that often others are used as pawns, but unexpectedly, the user uses himself as a pawn instead.
"No!" Xie Daoyun naturally understood what this move was. Seeing her younger brother face death in her place, she was filled with despair.
"Hmm, this is an interesting move, but I'll eat you first and then slowly enjoy those two beauties." The black-haired bat demon chuckled, about to devour the boy in its arms, when suddenly a dazzling sword light descended from the sky, pinning its entire head to the ground.
