The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 221 War Demon Legion
Blood flowed on the ground, and the thick stench of blood caused the war demons to awaken one after another.

The sound of black iron armor rubbing together came as five hundred armored warriors stepped out of the underground palace, shattering the floor tiles wherever they went.

War demons are drawn to light and are pure killers. They are absolutely loyal to the court and show no mercy to anyone except the royal bloodline. They kill anyone they see, whether human or ghost.

A road was laid out outside the underground palace, and Ye Jinfeng ordered all the people in the country to stay indoors to avoid being accidentally injured by the war ghosts.

Just as the warriors of Western Shu were about to capture the capital, the city gates slowly opened, the sound of armor clanging like thunder, and war demons with ashen faces filed out.

Mu Hanxing sat high on the chariot, with a platinum vortex floating in the sky, bringing a storm of blood and gore.

She looked at the ashen-faced war demon and frowned slightly.

not right...

When the soldiers of Western Shu fought against the War Demon, a spear pierced the War Demon's chest, but the War Demon remained expressionless and walked straight towards them.

He wielded a curved sword and moved swiftly, slitting the soldier's throat with a single stroke.

Upon seeing this, the sorcerer behind him immediately unleashed a massive attack using his sorcery power.

The ground was crawling with venomous scorpions, which slithered rapidly onto the war demon and stung it relentlessly.

The poison on the poisonous thorn could quickly knock down any soldier who saw it, causing them to foam at the mouth and fall to the ground. As they fell, the soldiers would be devoured by the poisonous worms, becoming nourishment for them.

But the war demons are different; they seem to have no sense of pain. Even when their faces, hands, and legs are pierced, they show no sign of stopping.

Ignoring all poison and weapon attacks, they single-handedly defeated and drove back all the attacking Western Shu soldiers.

Mu Hanxing's pupils suddenly contracted: "They...are not human..."

The air was filled with a terrifying stench of blood and the burning, rotting odor of the Gu worms. Only after the Western Shu troops were driven back hundreds of miles by the war demons did the people hiding in the capital timidly peek out.

The War Demon's counterattack reversed the situation once again, forcing the Western Shu Kingdom to retreat repeatedly.

Even with its arm severed, this cold-blooded zombie can still grip the fallen blade and plunge it fiercely into the enemy's heart.

Mu Hanxing's eyes were cold. His fingertips touched the ground, and the white bone arms of witchcraft stretched out from the ground, trying to grab the war demon and drag him into the abyss.

A series of crackling sounds rang out as the war demon crushed the white bones on the ground.

Three days later.

"Retreat! Retreat!" This was the order Gao Qing had shouted countless times, and the people had already returned the plundered cities one by one in a sorry state.

"Holy Maiden, what should we do now?" Gao Qing asked anxiously, his gaze following her intently.

Mu Hanxing narrowed her eyes slightly, then suddenly raised her hand and slapped Gao Qing: "Useless! It took us so long to conquer the imperial city!"

Those around him were momentarily stunned, seemingly not expecting Mu Hanxing to suddenly lose her temper.

Gao Qing clenched his fist and said, "Holy Maiden, whether it's witchcraft, weapons, or internal energy, there's absolutely nothing we can do against those war demons. If we don't retreat now, we'll only suffer pointless casualties..."

Mu Hanxing grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, a platinum light flashing in her eyes: "Even if we fight to the last man, you are not allowed to retreat a single step!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Qing was stunned for a moment, then could only lower his head and say to the soldiers around him, "I will obey the Holy Maiden!"

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

Sheng Yunqing sat upright within the formation, wrote a blood talisman in the air, and closed his eyes.

The royal palace of the Western Shu Kingdom.

"Xiao'er." Sheng Xiao seemed to hear a call and frowned slightly.

It sounds like my older sister's voice...

"Xiao'er".

There was another sound. Sheng Xiao confirmed that he hadn't misheard. He looked around and said, "Elder sister? You're here?" "I'm using a telepathic spell to speak to you."

Sheng Xiao gripped his sword tightly and asked, "What are your orders, elder sister?"

"I'll give you an invisibility talisman. Go to the underground palace quickly."

A golden light suddenly flashed in Sheng Xiao's eyes. He uncontrollably pointed his fingers and wrote a talisman in the air. When he came to his senses, the yellow talisman was already in his hand.

He stuffed the yellow talisman into his bosom, not daring to delay any longer, and immediately set off for the underground palace.

“I just consulted ancient books and found information about that divine stone. The divine stone can grant the Holy Maiden endless power, but at the same time, it will also arouse the killing intent within her body. The War Ghost will not be able to leave the border of Zhu Luo. Mu Hanxing must be made to stop.”

Sheng Xiao frowned and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"This yellow talisman was given to me by my master. Quickly stick the talisman on the sacred stone to suppress the evil thoughts within it."

As Sheng Yunqing spoke, a talisman fell from the sky into his palm.

He nodded solemnly and strode into the underground palace.

The underground palace was a maze of complex structures when suddenly, a series of sounds could be heard coming from afar.

"May the divine stone protect Western Shu!"

"May the Divine Stone bestow upon the Holy Goddess's power!"

He walked quickly toward the sound and saw Mu Chengqian and his courtiers kneeling and kowtowing before the glowing sacred stone, chanting incantations with utmost piety.

Within the cracks of the divine stone, platinum light surged, accompanied by specks of black filth.

He moved quietly, went around behind the sacred stone, and unfolded the talisman to stick it on.

The divine stone suddenly shook, and the surging black filth gradually faded and disappeared.

Mu Hanxing suddenly woke up, the stench of blood filling her nostrils.

She raised her hand to cover her nose, frowned as she looked at the soldiers fighting desperately against the war demons, her pupils suddenly contracting. She turned to the strategist and said, "Why fight if you can't win?!"

The strategist was slightly taken aback, and said, "It was...it was the Holy Maiden who said we must fight to the very end and not retreat a single step..."

Mu Hanxing's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the Zhu Luo War Demons, undeterred by the wind and snow, he hurriedly shouted, "Retreat! Retreat now!"

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers finally dared to retreat, turned the reins around, and galloped towards the border.

The cities they had once occupied were all returned, and the Western Shu army suffered repeated defeats, fleeing to the border of Western Shu.

Astride his warhorse, sword pointed to the sky, Gao Qing roared, "We will not allow the Chola to set foot in Western Shu again! We swear to defend the territory of Western Shu to the death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the War Demon's footsteps suddenly stopped.

They stood in a line outside the city wall, their hands that had been holding weapons slowly lowering, no longer taking another step towards the border.

The Chola War Demon is loyal to the Chola court, guards the Chola territory, and drives out foreign enemies, but is imprisoned by the territory and cannot step out of Chola.

Everyone held their breath and watched as the War Ghost stood motionless. Mu Hanxing said in a cold voice, "All Western Shu troops, cease fire."

"Yes."

The soldiers of Western Shu remained stationed at the border, awaiting Mu Chengqian's orders.

The War Demon Legion was already making its way back towards the capital with heavy steps.

They walked tirelessly, from day to night, and from night to day, their armor stained with dried blood and the scales of some Gu worms.

Having repelled the invaders, the mission is complete, and they will now line up to return to the underground palace.
