How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Chapter 117: Chapter 0117: First Arrival on the Battlefield (Third Update, Requesting Monthly Pass)

Many sect members on the field were attracted to the “Fairy Xia Yu,” a beautiful lady adorned in luxurious attire.

“Fairy Grandmaster Xia?”

Chen Yu thought pensively and looked towards the dignified and beautiful lady, suddenly recalling the recent betrayal in the Yunyue Sect.

At that time,

Elder Qiu betrayed the sect, gravely injured Grandmaster Xia, and stole a batch of meteoric iron.

Unexpectedly, Grandmaster Xia turned out to be the leader of these reinforcements, her exquisite and noble temperament a delight to behold.

Mu Xueqing stood by Grandmaster Xia’s side, joining her Master in the battle at the frontline.

In front of Yuntian Hall,

The troop made a brief arrangement before setting off directly to the frontline of the battlefield.

…

After several days and nights of travel,

A giant city embedded in a huge mountain range came into view for the group.

“…Is this Lu Yun City?”

The disciples looked up in admiration.

The colossal city, grand and majestic, embedded halfway up the mountain, with its highest point reaching near the cloud-wrapped sky.

The walls of the city, made of dark green rocks, provided a visual impact of heavy and vast solidity.

Boom! Clang clang bang—

From the other side of Lu Yun City, a series of roaring and clashing sounds came relentlessly, the explosive energy of Inner Breath True Qi mingling with the collision of weapons.

It was clear that on that side, the three sects were clashing with the Bone Demon Palace.

Whoosh whoosh!

Even from afar, the horde felt the intangible strong wind and the aura of slaughter.

Inside Chen Yu, the Cloud Evil inner breath was stirring restlessly, seemingly sensing the massive Evil Qi on the battlefield.

“Yunyue Sect reinforcements.”

Fairy Xia Yu held a flag, using it to signal a secret code to a similar flag atop the giant city.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Soon, above the city, several cloud ladders and ropes were thrown down.

You should know.

Lu Yun City stood hundreds of feet above ground, and the mountain on which it perched was steep, a challenge even for someone at the Meridian Passage Stage to climb using light body martial arts.

Most people chose the cloud ladders and ropes to quickly ascend to Lu Yun City.

Zoom! Zip! Scrape!

Some, at the Body Refining Stage with decent light body martial arts, chose areas with slightly gentler slopes to scale swiftly up the rock faces.

Before long,

The entire Yunyue Sect reinforcement group had entered Lu Yun City.

On that same day,

Chen Yu and some promising disciples were assigned tasks, mostly logistical or defensive support.

That evening,

Chen Yu and other disciples arrived at the walls at the frontline to participate in their first defense support.

On the city walls, there were some crossbow platforms and stone-throwing carts, all large-scale city defense weapons far beyond what the secular world had.

Among these,

Chen Yu saw several strong men pulling back a crossbow platform together, launching several heavy crossbow arrows at once, “whoosh whoosh whoosh” piercing through the night sky.

These city defense weapons’ power far exceeded the ordinary; even someone at the Body Refining Stage couldn’t operate them.

“The Bone Demon Palace is attacking! All you newbies, it’s your first battle; keep an eye on the weapons. If the Bone Demon Palace charges, help with the killing.”

A middle-aged man with a purple face and heavy armor spoke sternly.

No sooner had he spoken,

Than screeching sounds of flying birds came from the night sky, hundreds of silhouettes weaving and diving among the darkness.

At least those riding the flying birds were at the Organ Refining Stage.

The flying Bird Knights of the Bone Demon Palace, some holding crossbows for range attacks, others wielding various sorts of treasures swinging for melee assaults, accompanied by various mid-air slashing and stabbing shadows.

“Ah, ah!”

Time and again, someone on the city wall met a gruesome end.

These Bird Knights, each at the Organ Refining Stage, were formidable, and ephemeral. They would quickly flee after striking.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

On the city walls, crossbow platforms fired volley after volley of heavy crossbow arrows, like a cold, piercing rain aiming for the birds in the sky.

Some hulking men held spears, channeling their Inner Breath, throwing them through the air.

The dense attacks barely held back the assault of the birds, downing only one or two Bird Knights.

At the same time,

“Kill!”

Below Lu Yun City, a wave of members from the Bone Demon Palace, about two to three thousand, surged towards the mountain wall, scaling it rapidly.

Due to the prolonged warfare, the mountain’s side had been piled up with rocks, wood, machinery, and bodies, creating a slope.

These attackers, mostly at the Meridian Passage and Body Refining Stages, with a handful at the Organ Refining Stage, seemed defiantly fearless in the face of death, unhesitatingly scaling and killing their way up despite their losses.

“Nothing but cannon fodder!”

Chen Yu felt a chill in his heart.

Soon after, some wielding shields approached the ramparts.

Kill!

Chen Yu and other disciples immediately joined the fight.

Cloud Evil Fist!

Chen Yu threw a punch. Evil Qi roared furiously, and a python-shaped fist-shaped shadow surged forth with black and green patterns, sweeping across everything in its path.

“Ah, ah, ah…”

Immediately, three or four figures, including one at the Organ Refining Stage, were swept over by the massive python-shaped fist shadow and screamed as they met their deaths.

The power of this punch surprised several sect members defending nearby.

So much so,

Within moments, no one approached Chen Yu.

But it wasn’t long before the Bird Knights in the sky launched another lightning-fast attack, with arrows and various long-distance slashing sword shadows.

Under the cover of these Bird Knights, the black tide of figures below mounted another fierce attack.

“Ah, ah!”

Near Chen Yu, there were occasional screams of casualties.

Clang!

Suddenly, a piercing long spear shadow, accompanied by the shrill cries of a flying creature, swept directly over the heads of two or three people where Chen Yu stood.

“Get out of the way!”

Chen Yu launched a punch through the air, the python-shaped fist shadow of Evil Qi pounced forward, directly wiping out that long spear shadow.

“Not bad in strength, eh?”

In the night sky, a man in black robes from the Bone Demon Palace stood on a flying creature, surprised at the sight of Chen Yu.

Chen Yu and the others were about to counterattack.

The man in black robes controlled the flying creature and swiftly moved away after the strike.

“The aerial attack from the Bone Demon Palace consists entirely of elites, mainly focusing on harassment, while the ground assault is carried out by death squads,” Chen Yu sighed inwardly. The dual threat from the air and ground was indeed troublesome, especially the nimble elite aerial attacks, with fighters at the Organ Refining Stage swooping down from time to time, or shooting arrows from a distance.

As time passed, the battle over Lu Yun City raged on fiercely. The attacking figures at the foot of the city wall, which started from two or three thousand, swelled to tens of thousands! Even the flying birds in the night sky increased in number to two or three hundred!

Not just that. Occasionally, among the combatants, a few would emerge who were in the Postnatal Qi Transformation Realm, and even some in the Qi Transformation Innate Realm.

“Tianyuan Break!” A green-robed elder from the Bone Demon Palace stood atop a flying bird, sweeping out a palm that unleashed a torrential vortex of black True Qi, roaring like a mountain flood and sweeping across a distance of seven or eight Zhang. Boom! The tidal-wave-like True Qi vortex turned everyone in its path, whether at the Meridian Passage or Organ Refining Stage, into minced meat. With a single palm strike, he annihilated more than a dozen members on the city wall.

Chen Yu’s scalp tingled. The one who had launched the attack seemed to be an Innate Qi Transformation Strong Person. His attack, below the Qi Transformation Realm, meant certain death upon contact! Fortunately, as the defenders, they had a significant geographical advantage. The three sects here also had Qi Transformation Realm powerhouses who countered fiercely, shooting down several flying birds and annihilating large numbers of attackers on the ground.

Atop the city wall, the sect members and disciples fought valiantly amidst bloodshed, with casualties occurring every moment. In the endless slaughter, many were exhausted, with huge consumption of Inner Breath True Qi, and had to retreat to rest for a while.

Chen Yu made an estimate. Each round of defense lasted two hours before a half-hour rest. With Chen Yu’s stamina, as long as he didn’t squander it excessively, even fighting continuously for half a day wasn’t a big deal.

However, he still kept a low profile and rested when he needed to. When participating in the battle, he was far from sloppy, primarily focusing on honing his “Cloud Evil Fist.” The “Xuan Heavy Sword” he carried on his back had not yet been drawn.

During a change of guards and rest, Chen Yu suddenly noticed an eerie tinge of blood on the bright moon in the sky. “What’s going on here?” Chen Yu felt an inexplicable eeriness and chill as he stared at the blood-stained silver moon. “Ever since the last great battle, where the sects suffered heavy casualties, such a phenomenon began to appear in the night sky’s bright moon,” a middle-aged man at the Organ Refining Stage said nonchalantly.

“The Bone Demon Palace particularly likes to start battles at night.” “Some suspect that the Bone Demon Palace seems to be performing some kind of blood sacrifice through the wars…” Some sect members discussed among themselves.

After half an hour, Chen Yu rejoined the battle on the city walls. By this point, the corpses of the Bone Demon Palace’s cannon fodder, predominantly composed of peripheral members or vassal forces, piled up like mountains near the ground.

Whoosh whoosh~ In several areas of the city wall, dark green flames burned, leaving behind some charred, unrecognizable bodies. “Bone Scale Flame!” Chen Yu’s heart chilled; he had seen this kind of attack when he was in Beishan Spirit Garden.

Swish! Swish! A black-robed figure atop a flying bird threw down several black canisters with a sinister smile, and Boom! one of them was hurled toward Chen Yu’s area. Chen Yu was about to take action when, “Insignificant tricks!” A surging gust of wind came from behind him, and he saw a faint purple domineering windwave “whoosh” by, blowing the canister several Zhang away. The canister exploded in mid-air, releasing a burst of dark green fireworks, narrowly missing a Flying Bird Knight.

Chen Yu glanced sideways. The one who had taken action was a purple-faced middle-aged man in armor, a Postnatal Qi Transformation Expert. This man belonged to the Iron Sword Sect and was one of the City Defense Captains in this area.

However, from time to time, someone from the Bone Demon Palace at the Qi Transformation Realm would make a move, and the purple-faced man was quickly engaged elsewhere. Chen Yu still fought using “Cloud Evil Fist.” He didn’t fear the ground attacks, whether they were from Meridian Passage or Organ Refining Stage, and he annihilated them ruthlessly.

Gradually, the Evil Qi in Chen Yu’s fist technique grew denser. Even the Blood Evil Qi stored deep within his flesh and bones from the previous opportunity in the blood pool began to be stimulated bit by bit.

Unconsciously, both his Cloud Evil inner breath and fist technique were progressively becoming more powerful by the minute. The only thing that troubled Chen Yu was the flying birds in the sky. His Body Technique talent gave him an unparalleled advantage in close combat, but he struggled a bit at long range. The flying bird knights would attack and flee, never engaging in prolonged combat and were very agile.

“Ah!” A brawny man holding a heavy javelin beside him fell dead, slain by a distant sword aura from a Flying Bird Knight. Clang! A heavy javelin landed at his feet.

Chen Yu’s face revealed a moment of contemplation; he picked up the heavy javelin from the ground. It was significantly heavier than a regular javelin, weighing a hundred or two hundred pounds, with a spearhead sharp as a point. This kind of javelin, close in quality to a Half-precious Artifact, was specially forged by the three sects to counter the harassment of the flying birds, but its actual effect was limited. Because the flying bird knights were all elite at the Organ Refining Stage and moved unpredictably in the air, they were difficult to kill and served mainly as a distraction.

“Go!” Chen Yu gripped the javelin, his Inner Breath surged through it, and he activated the enormous strength of the “Copper Statue Technique” as he hurled it violently.

Swoosh! The heavy javelin turned into a dark, cold shadow, carrying with it dull exclamations of surprise and aiming for a nearby Flying Bird Knight.
