Chapter 12797
After confirming several times that there were no signs of human presence within a radius of fifty miles, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and took out the map of Tianjun.
This is not an ordinary map; it is for the exclusive use of the Demon Extermination Army.
The most crucial information above is the array node that isolates Tianjun from the front line.
The reason why Tianjun has been able to rest easy for so many years is that, apart from the Demon Extermination Army, its core reliance is this indestructible super formation.
No matter how powerful the demon is, it cannot break through the formation.
However, if someone manipulates things from within, colluding with those outside, that's a different story.
The position where Xiao Guichen is standing at this moment is one of the many nodes.
Xiao Guichen raised his head and looked into the depths of the rift valley.
At first glance, it was pitch black, and you couldn't see anything.
But he knew that at the end of that darkness lay an endless army of demons.
Xiao Guichen hesitated repeatedly, and couldn't help but want to back down.
However, under the influence of the already rooted seed of ultimate skill, this slight wavering quickly dissipated.
Xiao Guichen took a deep breath, placed the map at his feet, and then condensed his Dharma power, slowly pouring it into the map.
This map is also the key to unlocking the nodes.
However, one must have authority at the level of deputy commander or above.
He fits the bill perfectly.
The map glowed with a ghostly light, like the low hum of a machine in operation, and cracks appeared on the nodes ahead, allowing solidified darkness to seep in.
Xiao Guichen stared intently at the crack, his demonic thoughts pounding: "Open only one! Open only one!"
The next second, the darkness suddenly intensified!
A massive void rift tore open, like a gaping maw of an abyss, stretching across the heavens and earth!
Xiao Guichen's pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed in shock, "No! How is it fully open?!"
He quickly picked up the map, attempting to withdraw his Dharma power and close the node.
However, no matter how he tried, it was like throwing a stone into the sea, with no response whatsoever.
A deafening roar came from the crack.
The demonic army surged out like a tidal wave, covering the sky and the earth!
Xiao Guichen staggered backward, his face as pale as paper.
My mind went completely blank.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?"
Xiao Guichen suddenly realized that the map had been tampered with!
As for the instigator, it's obvious without even thinking that it must be Di Qingfan!
Watching helplessly as the demonic army entered the country, Xiao Guichen felt his blood run cold in an instant.
If only three or five heads are let in, even if they are caught red-handed, he will have something to argue about.
But now, he has become an outright traitor!
Not only would Tianjun not tolerate him, but even his Demon-Slaying Army would absolutely not tolerate him.
Just as Xiao Guichen was at a loss, a bizarre scene unfolded the next second.
The ten demons charging at the front suddenly stopped in their tracks, as if they had crashed into an invisible wall.
Their noses twitched wildly as they sniffed the air.
Immediately afterward, the lead one reacted, letting out a terrified screech as it desperately retreated.
The demons at the back couldn't stop in time and crashed into those in front, causing the army to fall into chaos instantly.
The demons began to trample each other, while those at the forefront scrambled to retreat into the crevice, as if they had encountered some terrifying natural enemy.
Xiao Guichen stood there, completely bewildered, not understanding what had happened.
Before he could react, a demon suddenly turned its head and stared intently at him.
His eyes quickly turned red, as if stimulated by some kind of event, triggering his most primal bloodlust.
This instinct allowed it to overcome its previous fear.
At this moment, in its perception, Xiao Guichen was not a human expert, but a walking piece of flesh and blood, exuding unparalleled allure.
It let out a frenzied roar and instinctively pounced on the weakest and most desirable target.
at the same time.
The other demons, sensing the danger, all turned to Xiao Guichen, their eyes flashing with bloodthirsty glints.
"Demon-tempting incense?"
Xiao Guichen finally realized what was happening.
As the deputy commander of the Demon Extermination Army, he was naturally familiar with this thing.
It is made from dozens of ingredients that demons crave most, and is specially designed as bait to attract demons. When used on the front lines of the battlefield, it has always been effective.
The problem is, this isn't the front line!
Moreover, such a thing as the Demon-Attracting Incense must never be used on a person, otherwise they will be torn to shreds by the surging evil spirits in no time.
"It was him again! What is he trying to do?"
Xiao Guichen felt a chill run through his body.
However, he had no time to think further. The demon suddenly appeared, and he could only desperately draw his sword.
When the first demon pounced, he chopped off its forepaw with a single stroke.
Black blood splattered on my face, hot and foul-smelling.
Before he could catch his breath, the second demon attacked from the flank, its claws slicing across his shoulder, blood splattering and the wound deep enough to expose bone.
Xiao Guichen grunted and slashed off half of the demon's head with a backhand stroke.
The third and the fourth arrived one after another.
As the deputy commander of the Demon Extermination Army, he was naturally quite strong, and he had often fought against groups of demons alone in the past.
But things are different now.
The presence of the alluring incense will only drive all the demons to rush over madly, leaving him no room to maneuver or catch his breath.
His swordsmanship remained sharp, each strike capable of taking the life of a demon.
But the problem is, there are too many evil spirits.
They can't kill them all, they simply can't kill them all.
A circle of corpses had already piled up at Xiao Guichen's feet, but more were still surging in.
If things continue like this, he will eventually be worn down to death.
Moreover, he had already sensed the aura of a King-level demon!
When the King-level demon appeared, he was completely powerless to fight back on his own.
Left with no other option, Xiao Guichen had to use his deputy commander authority to send a distress signal to the Demon Extermination Army headquarters!
It's no longer just his life or death that's at stake.
Once he falls, the node will only get more out of control, and the entire Tianjun will fall!
The signal transformed into a stream of light and shot into the void.
However, it was immediately intercepted by an invisible hand.
Di Qingfan's figure emerged from the darkness, chuckling as he altered the signal content and forwarded it to the Demon Extermination Army headquarters.
"Lin Yi colluded with evil spirits to open a passage. I'm being surrounded while holding out. Rescue me immediately!"
Beside the void rift.
Xiao Guichen was covered in blood and surrounded by a continuous stream of evil spirits.
In a short time, his feet were piled high with corpses, a rather spectacular sight, but it was no use, as the ever-changing demons continued to surge in.
The key issue is that he simply cannot withstand such a drain on his own.
The power of the Dharma form is ultimately limited.
Xiao Guichen gradually weakened.
A deep wound, so deep it exposed the bone, had appeared on his shoulder, making each swing of the knife incredibly difficult and causing him to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
His legs were covered in blood and flesh, and he could barely stand.
Xiao Guichen felt a sense of despair.
Even if the Demon Extermination Army were to receive the distress signal and organize its forces immediately, it would be too late to solve the immediate problem.
If things continue like this, not only will he himself be doomed, but more importantly, if these demons are allowed to flood into Tianjun without any defense, the state of Tianjun will be in an unimaginable state. (End of Chapter)
