Guangren Dao, Gonghuai City.
"General Zhu!
"The citizens inside the city have all turned into Blood Demons overnight, numbering at least over eighty thousand!
"Moreover, there are Demon Suppression Bureau fiends causing chaos inside the city. Our army has besieged the city for two days without success. What should we do next?"
"I will take the lead and attack again!"
Zhu Tong wielded two Mixed Gold War Hammers, donned armor, led the charge, and attacked the city.
"Form ranks!
"Qiankun Earth River Earth Dragon Formation——"
With a command, the soldiers arranged themselves in specific positions, borrowing National Destiny Xuan Qi with the Heaven and Earth Laws. The ground shook, the world was overturned, and the entire city appeared to be on the verge of collapse.
An elder Xuanxiang general, though in his sixties, still moved like a fierce tiger, swinging the Mixed Gold War Hammer to create a storm, clearing all the arrows falling from the city walls, then climbed up the walls on a ladder to be the first to kill the enemy!
"Is this a Blood Demon?"
Zhu Tong swung the hammer around, smashing a Blood Demon armed with a weapon transformed from Evil Qi to the ground.
He fixed his gaze, seeing that the person he had killed seemed like an old man, sallow and emaciated, with clothes barely covering his body, having no cultivation within. Yet, his body's surface was wrapped with bone-chilling Evil Qi, his pupils turned blood-red, and blood vessels at the corners of his eyes turned dark as spider webs spreading outwards, fangs even emerging from his mouth, looking exactly like the zombies from legends.
However, these Blood Demons possessed self-awareness.
They could speak, were organized, obeyed commands, differing from mortals only by their craving for flesh and blood!
These Blood Demons resembled beasts; if they found an opportunity in combat, they would bite the soldiers of the Great Han at all costs.
One could describe them as neither human nor ghost!
"Hm?"
Zhu Tong sensed murderous intent coming from behind and quickly turned to block.
"Boom——"
An Azure Dragon Crescent Blade hung above his head, and the assailant was also a Blood Demon. However, this Blood Demon had been a Xuanxiang Warrior in life, with extraordinary combat power.
"You wretch!"
Zhu Tong shouted fiercely: "Why degrade yourself to be a flesh-eating beast when you could live as a decent person!"
"Eating people?!"
The Blood Demon Warrior's eyes widened: "When it comes to eating people, who can compare to you dog cultivators?!"
"We are not those bastards from the Sky Water Sect!"
Zhu Tong asserted: "I am a general of the Eastern Continent's Great Han, here to protect the people of Guangren Dao for their peace; yet you dare to bite us back!"
"What bullshit Great Han, just a bunch of jackals!"
The Blood Demon Warrior wasn't listening, frantically waving his weapon.
"Ungrateful!"
Zhu Tong roared, his forehead veins bulging, muscles swelling, and Gang Qi poured forth from his Mixed Gold War Hammer, engaging in battle.
The white hair on his temples didn't make him look aged; instead, it added some majesty and ferocity, like an ancient Mountain King who has been cultivating for many years!
After a short fight of over a dozen rounds, the Blood Demon Warrior couldn't withstand it, his head was smashed open by a hammer, leaving a mess of red and white matter on the ground.
Zhu Tong didn't spare a glance at the corpse, charging again into the Blood Demon army, bravely killing the enemy, allowing the Beiliang Army to quickly scale the city walls.
After a bloody battle until dawn the next day, they successfully captured the city.
"General!"
The young Deputy General reported: "All Blood Demons in the city have been annihilated!"
The old general laid down his bloodstained Mixed Gold War Hammer, frowned, and said: "Complete annihilation, not a single one left alive?"
"None."
The Deputy General shook his head, his expression grim: "These Blood Demons would not surrender even in death, so while we have captured the city, we suffered significant losses."
"Would not surrender even in death."
Hearing these words, Zhu Tong felt somewhat lost.
These four words sound simple, but how many troops in the world can achieve this?
Probably only thirty years ago, the Beiliang Army, as the royal guards of Your Majesty, could.
As for now, even excluding the Beiliang Army, the Forbidden Army may not reach this standard.
Hence, ever since the Great Han marched into Heavenly Water, though it seemed to suppress everything, casualties were actually increasing daily.
"Those Demon Suppression Bureau fiends, where are they?"
Zhu Tong ordered: "Find them out..."
"Bang——"
Before he finished speaking, a scream rang from afar, followed by seeing a cultivator clad in black robes rising into the air on Sword Control, attempting to escape amidst the chaos.
"Capture him!"
Zhu Tong shouted.
Every mortal army would have some Sky Wall City Immortal Official stationed.
Upon detecting a hostile cultivator trying to flee, they immediately chased with Sword Control, yet were no match for the escapee, retreating in defeat.
As the opponent was about to escape completely, a Copper Cauldron burning with fierce flames descended from the sky, crashing down on the person.
A figure in white robes appeared from beyond the clouds, entering everyone's view.
"It's His Majesty!"
"..."
Chen Sansi landed heavily, like a falling meteor. Before him, a Silver Token Demon Suppression Guard from the Demon Suppression Bureau was coughing blood continuously.
He asked gravely: "Tell me the method of creating Blood Demons."
"You—are you His Majesty Tianwu?"
The Demon Suppression Guard did not insult but rather respectfully said: "Your Majesty, being a ruler, why serve the Sky Water Sect? Our Great Song officials wish to invite His Majesty Tianwu for a discussion!"
"I have no interest in chatting with you. If you're unwilling to reveal, forget it."
Chen Sansi waved lightly, instructing Dongfang Jingxing who had arrived: "Take him away for interrogation."
"..."
Seeing the Chief Eunuch's Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the Demon Suppression Guard displayed fear: "No, no, I'll speak, I'll tell everything!"
Chen Sansi responded with a cold stare.
"Scoundrel!"
Dongfang Jingxing's slightly sharp voice chastised: "Do you expect His Majesty to repeat the question a second time?!"
