2884 The terrifying cannon blast (1)
The soldiers were still standing guard at the top of the city wall.
Even with the illusory formation, the demons couldn’t get close to the city, but no one dared to let their guard down.
No one could be sure if the yaomo would be able to rush over, so they might as well keep an eye on the enemy’s situation.
At the same time, some Warriors went out of the city to collect the dead bodies of the demons and bring them back to the city for further processing.
The teleportation formation was still in operation, but the number of demons entering the slaughterhouse was much less than at the beginning.
The reason for this was that the yaomo had experience and already knew how to reduce casualties.
The greater the commotion caused by the magical beasts, the higher the frequency of the teleportation light pillars appearing. After realizing this, the magical beasts immediately became well-behaved.
They either stayed where they were or walked slowly to avoid the teleportation light pillar appearing beneath their feet.
This method was indeed effective. The frequency of the teleportation light pillars appearing was greatly reduced, and only a few unlucky people would be sent to the demon eating city occasionally.
The three monster Kings became very low-key and stopped commanding the monsters to attack because that would be equivalent to suicide.
They were only hiding in different locations and did not come into contact with each other to avoid being plotted against by their accomplices.
No one cared about the corpse of the Demon King that had died earlier. His subordinates had also suffered heavy casualties, and they had no ability to avenge him.
At this moment, there was a strange calm between the attacking and defending sides. No one would take the initiative to attack.
However, this peace would be broken soon. Neither humans nor yaomo could allow the other to exist for long.
……
The guards of the demon Eater city looked down at the city wall in a daze.
Groups of Iron Men and iron horses, pulling strange weapons, were neatly arranged on the plain in front of the city gate.
Liu Qing, blacksmith, King Jingnan.
The three ghost kings arrived at the same time. At this time, the top cultivators from both sides were evenly matched.
The cultivators of the discipline Commission secretly sighed. Who would have thought that the ghost cultivators, who were enemies of the discipline Commission, would become the main force of the city defense?
Under Liu Qing’s command, a group of Warriors opened the wooden boxes and took out the storage balls inside.
These balls were transparent like crystals, and they seemed to have lava and flames sealed inside. They looked very dangerous.
This was designed by Tang Zhen and personally forged by the blacksmith. It was specially used to complement the demon Slayer cannon.
Liu Qing’s face was filled with excitement. Although the demon Slayer cannon was made by a blacksmith, it was her request.
It was for this reason that Liu Qing felt that he had been valued, and his heart was deeply touched and excited.
At her command, the crystal ball-like Cannonball was thrown into the barrel, and then a series of muffled sounds were heard.
The demon Slayer cannons spewed out flames, and the glaring fireballs flew out, drawing an arc and falling into the wilderness ahead.
After the fireball landed on the ground, it made a thunderous sound. Then, mud and stones were sent flying, and the rolling flames spread in all directions.
Compared to ordinary cannons, the demon Slayer cannon had a longer range and greater destructive power. Its special flames could detonate the energy of heaven and earth.
The area several hundred meters in radius where the Cannonball exploded was a sea of fire. The world Energy was instantly burned up.
The demons that were caught in it were either blown to pieces or burned to ashes.
Just the first round of attacks had made the demons suffer. They wailed in the sea of fire, but were soon covered by the loud explosions.
Due to the influence of the illusory formation, the magical beast was unable to accurately determine the trajectory of the Cannonball. It had no idea when the Cannonball would land beside it.
The area of effect of the Cannonball was too wide. If it exploded, ordinary magical beasts would have no chance of escaping.
The shells turned the area outside the city into a hell of fire, and the teleportation beams that appeared from time to time were like adding hail to snow, making the demons suffer.
The demons were filled with despair when they heard the screams and felt the terrifying heat that could melt rocks.
After this explosion, even if they were lucky enough to survive, they probably wouldn’t be able to last long.
As they were trapped in the illusory formation, there was a severe lack of food. The grass and trees on the ground had become food for the magical beasts.
Some of the demons that went crazy from hunger simply devoured the corpses of their companions, and some even killed demons of different races.
By relying on this method, the yaomo who were easily hungry and had a huge appetite were barely able to persist until now.
However, after the terrifying explosion and burning, the outside of the city was scorched, and there was no food to be found.
Even if the demon eating city did not attack, the demons who could not get food in the illusion would starve to death.
The demons who killed without blinking had long regretted their decision. If they had a choice, they would never have come here.
However, it was clearly too late for him to regret it now.
As time passed, the city would attract more demons or cultivators of the evil way Alliance.
This place would become a super Cemetery, and all intruders would be swept into the vortex, with no possibility of leaving!
The purple-bearded Demon King looked at the soaring flames, and his expression was so gloomy that it was distorted.
Not long ago, he had killed a Demon King with the quaking Thunder and forced back a strong enemy like Liu Qing.
Two days later, the demon-eating city started to attack the monster army with similar tactics.
He didn’t need to think to know that this was ghost king Liu Qing’s revenge. He wanted him to have a taste of being bombed.
Looking at the demons that were engulfed by the flames and burned to ashes while screaming in pain, the purple-bearded Demon King felt a strong sense of danger.
If he were to be infected by the flames, he would definitely be severely injured even if he would not lose his life.
What made him feel the most depressed was that because of the illusion array, he could not determine the landing point of the Cannonball at all. He could only rely on his extremely fast speed to Dodge.
“When will the family’s reinforcements arrive?”
As soon as this thought came to purple beard Demon King’s mind, he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger. He turned around and fled without hesitation.
“BOOM!”
The moment purple-bearded Demon King left, a fireball landed where he had been, devouring the surrounding trees and demons.
In the blink of an eye, the demon turned into ashes, leaving a pile of white ashes on the scorched land.
The purple-bearded Demon King, who was hundreds of meters away, looked a little embarrassed. The attack just now was indeed a little unexpected.
He thought he had dodged far enough, but he was still hit by the Cannonball.
Moreover, he had a feeling that the Cannonball just now was coming straight for him.
“Could it be that Qianqian?”
A thought flashed across purple beard Demon King’s mind. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he escaped again without hesitation.
Sure enough, in the next second, a Cannonball landed where he was, and blazing flames soared into the sky.
Everything within a radius of several hundred meters was engulfed by the terrifying flames.
“Damn bastard, I’m going to kill you!”
How could the purple-bearded Demon King not have guessed that he had been locked on by the enemy and the cannon was aimed at him?
The only person who would do this was Liu Qing!
This damned female ghost was actually so vengeful. Could it be that this terrifying explosion was also her doing?
When the purple-bearded Demon King thought of this, a touch of fear flashed through his heart.
The strange armor that ghost king Liu Qing was wearing was really powerful. He had never seen such powerful equipment.
The purple-bearded Demon King could feel that Liu Qing had not exerted the full power of the armor. Otherwise, he would have been the one who died last time.
He was able to force Liu Qing back because the quaking thunders were specifically targeted at spirit body ghost cultivators. However, this advantage could not be guaranteed in the long run.
This was because he only had ten quaking thunders in his possession, and he had spent a great price to get them.
In order to take revenge on him, this female ghost had even gotten such a terrifying weapon. She was simply seeking revenge for the smallest grievance!
What shocked the purple-bearded Demon King the most was where did the female ghost get such powerful equipment that even he, a descendant of a demon family, had never heard of it before?
Perhaps it was similar to this illusory formation and it was related to the ancient God continent?
A chill flashed across the purple-bearded Demon King’s heart. He felt that it was a wrong decision to ask for help from his family.
