Destiny is ashes

Chapter 466: Bitter Frost Tribulation
In the distance, in Yujiang City, the Ice Dragon rolled up cold air like a white curtain, turning the entire city into an icy nest. There was no doubt that all the mortals in the city had become sacrifices of the True Demon Cult.

It flew across the sky and earth, circled the city, and caused an invisible domain of law to cover the surroundings. The Tieli cavalry cheered thunderously. They did not know the other party's demonic nature, and thought it was their ancient earth spirit dragon, their totem and guardian.

In Linjiang City, the existence of the Shenzang Zhenchi, the ice-blue dragon eyes hidden in the dark clouds and cold fog made the citizens shudder. Although they could not see the details clearly, as Huaixu people, they could still tell that the enemy's strength was definitely not just a master, but a "real person" that they would hardly see in their lifetime.

But An Jing was not too scared.

To put it bluntly, a divine treasure that cannot be moved at will is nothing more than a living divine weapon.

Even if this Ice Dragon joins the army in the attack, it will probably have to pay a huge price, making it seem as if he does not have a civil and military formation, and the situation between the two sides is still balanced.

The people of Dachen have fought few wars in which the advantage is balanced, and they are used to winning situations. Unless they are absolutely crushed, they always feel that they are at a disadvantage.

"How many magic-breaking arrows do our crossbows have?" An Jing asked Xu Tai.

"Less than fifty." Xu Tai, who was still shocked, answered subconsciously, "But the city still has enough black iron reserves. The craftsmen from Mingjing Sect can forge it. We can temporarily process a batch of black iron arrowheads. After adding magic, the power will not be much different."

At this point, Xu Tai realized what An Jing wanted to do, and immediately said in disbelief: "Sir, do you want to deal with that Ice Chi? That is the Shenzang realm!"

"Within the domain of the law, Bing Chi can freeze all the arrows that break the law with just a thought!"

An Jing shook his head: "It just needs to harass. It's obviously not a normal Shenzang, otherwise it would just push over."

“If it is really a normal Shenzang, we will be powerless to resist before the support from the state government arrives - but on the other hand, if the other party activates Shenzang and the state government does not support it, then Dachen will stop being the Emperor Chao Tianzong and become a dog with its tail between its legs.”

At this point, An Jing's eyes lit up with a light silver light. He activated the spiritual vision given by Fu Xie and observed the ground veins, thinking: "So that's how it is. It took advantage of the ground veins of Yujiang City, the cold air accumulated over the years by the Yujiang Frost Tribulation, and the bodies of many dragon-blooded demon spirits to take shape."

"Besides being unable to move easily, it definitely has many flaws. We need to test it from all angles to find its weaknesses."

"indeed so."

Bai Qinghan nodded. She had just used her Xuanyin Star Fate to observe the Ice Chi that also possessed Xuanyin Qi, and had also made a discovery: "The Ice Chi has no spine or skin, and its defense depends entirely on magical powers, and its action time is not long..."

"This kind of land spirit is great at defending the city, but if it dares to leave the city, we definitely have ways to threaten it."

"We have to force them out of the city and fight them." An Jing asked, "How many warriors are there in the city?"

Xu Tai replied: "Except for the reconnaissance troops led by your junior brother, there are a total of 36 warriors who can still move. This is just enough to form a small Zhoutian transformation. After training, they can form a small martial arts formation to defend the city, which can at least withstand the attack of several times the number of martial arts troops."

"No need." An Jing shook his head, and had an idea in mind: "We don't need them to defend the city."

"Well, I will work overtime to refine weapons and try to equip each of the thirty-six warriors with an Iron Kite. Everyone will be divided into groups of three, contacted by Shui Jing, and go behind enemy lines to ambush Chen Li's supply lines according to the intelligence."

"At the same time, all residents in the city should be mobilized. Fortifications should be repaired if necessary, and new crossbow carts should be built if necessary. It doesn't look like the enemy will come directly to attack the city, so this time cannot be wasted."

After Xu Tai left, An Jing looked at the girl beside him and motioned her to look at the rocket box: "Bai Qinghan, you have to learn how to use the new weapons. When the time comes, you will teach those warriors how to use them."

"Understood." Bai Qinghan also obeyed the order and left with a few boxes of rocket launchers. After An Jing finished explaining the work, he also had to go to work, but before that, he still had something to ask King De.

This also went very smoothly.

"The demon Ku Ji is a 'Great Demon of Honor' from the ancient times. Each Great Demon of Honor has caused a destruction or severely damaged the demonic calamity of the Shangmen Tianzong. Its destruction swept across the entire continent, and its demonic nature is so short-cut that it is almost impossible to completely eliminate it."

"The demon soldiers are the Frost Tribulation. Yes, the natural disaster sweeping across the northern border is most likely the result of the demon soldiers reviving and changing the laws of the world in the Arctic Icefield."

In Anjing, of course, there will not be a situation where some key clues are not known to everyone due to the lack of information sharing and everyone not speaking human language, so that the enemy's plan can be successfully carried out inexplicably.

The moment Prince De saw the Ice Chi of Yujiang City, he immediately understood the True Demon Cult's plan behind all of this. He also figured out what An Jing had figured out with the help of more abundant sources of information.

Therefore, when An Jing came to ask him for relevant information, King De was too lazy to let Zheng Mo pass on the message in private, but directly borrowed Zheng Mo's body to tell An Jing: "Legend has it that the demon Ku Ji was originally a half-demon ice dragon, who often did good deeds, but eventually fell into the devil and became a demon. He destroyed seven sects and three families along the way, causing the original Beixuan Jizhou's northern islands to collapse, and the vast sea area froze and turned into the current Arctic ice field."

"His offspring is the most terrifying demon in the Arctic Icefield, the 'Ice Demon', a powerful demon that looks like a snake woman and can bewitch people and control endless ice and snow."

"According to ancient legends, Ku Ji was killed by the 'Heavenly Sword'. This Heavenly Sword is the collective name of the most powerful group of sword cultivators and immortal gods during the Dao Sect's Tianzong period. They patrolled the heavens and killed the demons of all realms with their swords. But even such a powerful Heavenly Sword was in a difficult battle when fighting against Ku Ji... In short, the demon Ku Ji is the most powerful among the many great demons with noble names. If it revives, even in fragments, the demon disaster it causes will be no less severe than the vast sea demon disaster."

An Jing listened carefully.

The Dachen Imperial Court succeeded the Yushen Court, and the Yushen Court also inherited the documents and books of the previous Tianzong, passed down from generation to generation. Even though the Tianzong was replaced several times, many secrets from ancient times were still inherited.

It's not just the Heavenly Demon, even the organization where Fuxie originally belonged, [Tianjian], has records of it.

"Fu Xie, do you still remember?"

An Jing asked in his heart, and Fu Xie's voice was full of doubt: "Tianjian? Why don't I remember it? I remember that I was more of a loner, and it's not like I would join any organization?"

"Think again."

An Jing felt that the other party must have misunderstood him - with Fu Xie's personality, how could he still be alone? It was good enough for him to kill an enemy without showing off! However, the swordsman in his memory was quite isolated and detached. Fu Xie might have been confused again.

After Fu Xie pondered for a while, he did remember something: "Right... and wrong? I seem to have joined before. But it doesn't seem as simple as the classics say. The reason why the sword cultivators gathered together was definitely not to hunt demons, but for..."

Stuck again, every time Fu Xie encountered this kind of ancient information, he felt like a fake immortal sword. He knew nothing about anything, or his memory was unclear.

But An Jing didn't care: "In fact, it is already very valuable. At least in ancient times, sword cultivators did gather together for some reasons, and they did something extremely important."

"I was just thinking, this Ku Ji must have been sealed by you back then, do you have any special attacks on it? For example, with one strike of the sword, you can shock the stitched monster Bing Chi and disintegrate it directly..."

"You're overthinking." Fu Xie complained, "How can it be that beautiful?"

"And didn't I tell you about the resurrection of the Heavenly Demon? The Heavenly Demon that broke free from the seal again after being destroyed is no longer the original Heavenly Demon. In other words, it has completely transformed into a different self, which is why it can escape the seal against it."
