Longzang

Chapter 919 It Should Be So

The crimson sea had completely enveloped the fortress, turning it into an isolated island in the blazing tide. The crimson fire demons had breached the fortress from multiple directions, and the powerful sorcerers could only rely on sections of the city walls to defend against the simultaneous attacks from both inside and outside.

When the shaman fled, the molten dragon neither roared nor complained, but silently accepted the three opponents that should have belonged to the shaman.

All the remaining powerful and wild sorcerers fought fiercely, without complaint, without retreat, and without fear.

Wei Yuan's ears picked up all the sounds of fighting, roaring, and screaming, which were then processed and analyzed by several specialists who extracted the core information. With a single glance, Wei Yuan took in the entire battle situation of his own faction's power-based sorcerers, analyzing who was in danger and immediately rushing to their rescue.

At this moment, flame demons were swarming from all directions. Wei Yuan no longer needed to aim deliberately; a casual thrust of his spear would surely kill several flame demons. However, there were simply too many flame demons. Killing them one by one like this, how long would it take?

At this moment, Mad Bull fought his way out of the horde of fire demons, and in a short time, his entire steel armor was stained red with blood. He fought his way to Wei Yuan's side and shouted, "Boss! When will this end, killing them one by one like this!"

The war had only just begun, and even Mad Bull was starting to despair?

Although his thoughts were exactly the same as Mad Bull's, Wei Yuan laughed loudly and said, "Ants can move mountains, and mayflies can shake trees! Let's kill them one by one, year after year, and even the most numerous Flame Demons will eventually be wiped out!"

Mad Bull's spirits lifted, his killing intent returned, and he chopped down three fire demons with a single axe stroke. Then he turned around and asked, "Boss, what's an ant?"

"A kind of power magic!"

"Her name sounds nice, she must be good-looking! Good-looking witches are definitely not good at fighting."

Wei Yuan patted Mad Bull, signaling him to follow behind him. He then charged back and forth among the Flame Demons, gathering the scattered Power Witches one by one. After gathering a dozen or so, he would gather the next group.

The battle situation on the section of the city wall guarded by the three hundred powerful shamans was relatively stable, but the situation was not the same in the adjacent areas. One by one, the powerful shamans were thrown off the city wall and were instantly submerged in the pile of fire demons, torn to pieces.

They were no longer visible; all that could be seen was a black and red sphere that grew larger and larger, from which shrill screams emanated, before fading into silence.

The captains had jumped off the city wall multiple times to try and save them, but as more and more powerful shamans were pulled down, they couldn't save them all. One captain was even gradually swallowed up by the fire demon after jumping down, and in the blink of an eye, he was also enveloped into a giant black and red sphere.

Suddenly, boundless light burst forth from the giant sphere, and the fire demons rapidly dissolved within it. In the blink of an eye, the giant sphere turned into a pool of blood, but the captain was no longer there.

A cry of alarm suddenly rang out not far from Wei Yuan. A little witch's arm was weak, and she failed to kill all the fire demons in front of her with one axe. As a result, the fire demon grabbed her leg.

Then the fire demons grabbed one by one, forming a ladder, and dragged the little witch down from the city wall! Fortunately, she was covered in steel armor, so the fire demons could only bite her hands and feet, causing her to scream in pain.

Several armored sorcerers jumped down without hesitation. With their strength, it was practically suicide. Tianyu, however, who was secretly about to have an affair with the little sorcerer, hesitated and didn't dare jump.

These few powerful witches were commendable in courage but lacked strength. After jumping down, they were surrounded and could not reach Little Beauty Witch at all. They were even surrounded themselves.

The two strongest witches among the three hundred powerful witches simultaneously leaped into the horde of fire demons from different directions. However, the fire demons were clearly more focused on this battle, and a large number of even stronger fire demons, almost entirely black, immediately charged forward.

However, the two powerful sorcerers were already formidable, and they were also clad in heavy armor, resembling sorcerer tanks. With a single blow of their power hammers, they could take down more than a dozen fire demons.

"Watch out!" Wei Yuan roared, his voice carrying for more than ten feet, shaking even the Flame Demon in front of him.

A captain-level power wizard was startled and turned to look in Wei Yuan's direction, but suddenly a light pink thread flew from the side and pierced through the steel armor along with him!
The thin thread then retracted, dragging the power-wielding captain away and instantly placing him hundreds of feet away in front of a fire demon more than ten times the size of the other fire demons. Suddenly, the fire demon's body split open in the center, revealing a gigantic four-lobed maw filled with extremely sharp teeth—probably hundreds of thousands! Then, it swallowed the power-wielding captain whole!

Captain Li Wu knew there was no hope of survival. His body swelled as he was pulled off the ground, and wisps of light shot out from his wounds!
Wei Yuan felt a pang of pain in his heart, knowing that the captain of the Power Witch's body had already activated all its internal organs, flesh, blood, and Dharma form, transforming into a blazing storm that would soon destroy everything around it. Even if he were saved now, it would be useless; the captain was already dead.

The fire demon swallowed the power witch captain whole, its body suddenly swelling several times its original size. But it slowly returned to its original state, then its huge mouth opened, spitting out a cloud of black ash mixed with teeth.

Wei Yuan suddenly felt a strange, indescribable feeling.

He actually had a deep impression of this power shaman captain. This captain was one of the two hundred power shamans sent later. He was actually clear-headed and calm, but like the other power shamans, he was particularly easily moved and passionate. Even though he had already reached the perfect Dharma form, he still contributed top-level luck to Wei Yuan.

Unfortunately, even the restored fortune from the Primordial Daoist arts couldn't save his life. There were too many Flame Demons; under such overwhelming forces, the individual's meager fortune had little effect, just as a candle or a campfire in a storm can only last for a fleeting moment.

Now Wei Yuan knows that this Captain Li Wu is not stupid, but rather genuinely agrees with Wei Yuan's ideals, which is why he contributed top-tier luck.

And now...

Wei Yuan suddenly turned his head and stared at the enormous fire demon that had suddenly appeared hundreds of feet away. This Imperial Fire Demon should have been a match for a Desolate Witch, but the Desolate Witch was already covered in wounds, two of its thirteen arms were severed at the root, and it was still fighting desperately, but it was powerless to stop one of its opponents from suddenly breaking away. The enormous fire demon noticed Wei Yuan, and its huge mouth opened again, spitting out a round thing, which it then held in its claws.

Wei Yuan recognized it as the captain's charred head.

Wei Yuan had just reached out to stop it when the Flame Demon closed its claws and crushed the head with a snap!
With a wave of its hand, a fierce wind swept across the battlefield, and in the blink of an eye, this handful of ash was carried away by the wind and dissolved into the desolate world.

Wei Yuan felt as if something very delicate and fragile in his consciousness had suddenly shattered.

Only then did he realize that he didn't know the name of the captain of the Power Wizards, let alone his life story. Unlike the Molten Dragon, who diligently memorized the stories of every Power Wizard, Wei Yuan hadn't remembered a single name among these two hundred Power Wizards.

Wei Yuan's thought at the time was that if he didn't remember their names or their names, he wouldn't have any regrets when he left, and there would be no cause and effect. Even knowing that they would most likely end up resting here, he wouldn't be sad.

In a few more days, Wei Yuan could have left this place of trouble.

why? !

Why……

Wei Yuan's consciousness gradually rose to a lofty and majestic level, and the voice of his thoughts seemed to resonate with heaven and earth: Why are there always some things in this world that are oblivious to death?
Wei Yuan suddenly pointed, and the small courtyard where he lived suddenly exploded. Many of the fire demons that were searching everywhere in the courtyard were blasted into the sky. A black and red spirit, which was formed purely from the power of sacrifice, flew out from the underground altar. The spirit pounced on Wei Yuan and disappeared into him.

Wei Yuan's pupils immediately turned black and red. Without saying a word, he leaped off the city wall and charged towards the Yu Jingyan demon step by step!
In the past, sages measured the earth with their own two feet. Today, Wei Yuan imitates them poorly, wanting to measure the life of the Flame Demon in the same way. Let's see how much it really is!
On this battlefield, a veritable millstone of flesh and blood, time has lost its meaning; only the ever-consuming life remains the measuring tool.

After an unknown amount of time, Wei Yuan suddenly found himself in front of nothingness, with the Imperial Flame Demon standing before him. Compared to this enormous flame demon, which was a full ten feet tall, Wei Yuan was nothing more than an ant.

Suddenly, the Yu Jing Yan Demon opened its enormous maw, and Wei Yuan immediately felt his feet planted firmly on the ground, becoming one with it. But instead of a tongue protruding from its maw, or any suction force, it blew out a gust of wind containing countless particles!
Suddenly, countless sparks erupted from Wei Yuan's body in the wind, and his flesh turned withered and shriveled, peeling off in pieces. His armor, forged from rough steel, was also covered in scratches; each scratch from the particles would scrape off a large section. The particles seemed harmless, but scraping rough steel like tofu was clearly an extremely powerful sorcery.

As the bloody storm subsided, Wei Yuan's armor had been completely stripped away, and his body was riddled with holes, with some areas even having an inch of flesh scraped off. Only the spear in his hand remained untouched.

The fiery demon spat out another giant, transparent net, which fell overhead, trapping Wei Yuan in its center. Wei Yuan couldn't feel anything on his body, nor could he see the net, but he felt as if his body was glued to the ground, and lifting his foot felt like pulling up the entire earth. The weight was beyond description.

Wei Yuan found it difficult to even raise his hand. The sensation in his body told him that he was not only bound to the ground, but his body had also become extremely heavy, at least several hundred times heavier!
The giant Fiery Demon spewed out another gust of foul wind, causing pieces of flesh to fall from Wei Yuan's body. But the areas where the most flesh fell suddenly emitted a burst of seven-colored rainbow light!
Wei Yuan stared at the Flame Demon and said slowly, "You think I'm finished just because the armor is gone? I've never relied on the armor, but rather..."

He suddenly leaped up, using such force that flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the seven-colored rainbow light he revealed increased.

But the force of this leap was so great, like a star rising, that it was unstoppable and even caused the surrounding earth to rise up along with it!
After the land within a radius of a thousand feet rose several feet, the giant net finally could not bear the weight and shattered with a crash.

Wei Yuan has already emerged from the abyss like a dragon, soaring into the sky!
He leaped ten thousand feet, then shot towards the earth like a meteor. His spear swung in a perfect circle, slashing down at Yu Jingyan Yao!
This strike was as heavy as a mountain and as swift as light; whether it had a sharp edge or not, it made no difference.

A massive crater, thousands of feet deep, suddenly appeared on the ground. Wei Yuan's spear cleaved the Flame Demon in two from head to toe, before disappearing into the earth.

This slash annihilated all emptiness and severed cause and effect, as if the Flame Demon was meant to be two pieces, meant to have its soul shattered, meant to be free from reincarnation, and meant to have a giant crater on the earth.

With a single shot, the Great Dao has already given its name: It should be so.

This is the second shot that Wei Yuan has come to understand in his life.

Wei Yuan stood with his spear in hand, his flesh and blood scattered, revealing a radiant and magnificent body, with a broad back and a wasp waist, ugly to the extreme, yet pure to the extreme.

Wei Yuan pointed his spear at the slowly separating Yu Jingyan demon, his voice shaking the heavens and earth: "What I rely on is only my Dharma Body!"

Yu Jingyan seemed to understand, but not quite. Different lights flickered in each of his eyes as he fell and vanished.

Wei Yuan picked up his spear and charged into the vast ocean of the Flame Demon once more.

In the desolate world, amidst an endless black and red ocean, a burst of seven-colored rainbow light occasionally erupts, and countless fire demons silently dissolve within the rainbow light.

From the Wild Witch to the Power Witch, they all silently turned in a different direction and continued their desperate fight, ignoring the rainbow light. But suddenly, every witch was filled with boundless energy, feeling that no matter how many were sacrificed, even if only one witch remained, victory would ultimately be achieved.

Just like the spear that fell from the sky: so it should be.
