I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 100 The war breaks out
"so much?"

Shi Zhenbang was taken aback.

In the distance, amidst the mountains and forests, countless dark shadows could be seen surging towards this direction like a tidal wave.

"Not all of them are demons."

Fu Jingsong said in a deep voice.

Observing from afar, although one could vaguely sense the soaring demonic aura ahead, the numerous dark figures sweeping towards them were not all demons. The vast majority of them were just ordinary wild beasts, such as tigers, wolves, bears, and leopards, all of which were caught up in the chaos.

Demons are transformed from wild beasts. Once they become demons, they possess some intelligence and can command lower-level wild beasts. If they can complete the three transformations, they become 'great demons' and can command lower-level demons.

"Night watchmen, listen to my command! Spread out along the plains at the foot of the mountain, and do not let the monster cross the border!"

Zhou Huai'an spoke in a deep voice.

This place is on the outskirts of Dangmang Mountain. They are located on a plain at the foot of the mountain. They can only see a large number of dark shadows rushing towards them from the dense and undulating mountains in the distance, while behind them is a flat plain.

At Zhou Huai'an's command, the night patrolmen dispersed and lined up along the plain.

at the same time,

At the far end of the plain behind, more than a thousand city guards had also arrived.

Under the command of Commander Li Minggang, the numerous city guards also formed a horizontal formation and spread out along the plain, heading towards the foot of Dangmang Mountain to meet the wild beasts and demons rushing in from all over the mountains.

Finally, the dark figures on the mountain appeared, one after another, terrifying monsters, commanding many beasts, pounced down the mountain and attacked Zhou Huai'an and the others.

boom! ! !
The night patrol team at the very front of the procession clashed instantly with the demons, and a fierce battle ensued.

The night patrolmen ignored the ordinary wild beasts and focused their attention on the demons mingling among them, wielding their weapons to meet the attack on the demons.

Some of the wild beasts assisted from the sidelines, while others bypassed the night watchmen and rushed towards the distant plains, where they clashed with the city guards.

"kill!"

Among the city's guards, centurions gave orders.

Although most of the thousand-plus soldiers were ordinary people, each of them wore simple armor and held standard-issue spears. When they gave the order, they all charged forward, becoming like killing machines. Many wild beasts rushed over, but before they could even let out a cry, they were pierced through the body by many spears, and blood sprayed everywhere.

Such a well-formed military formation is so formidable that even a martial artist with two levels of blood coagulation would surely die if they rushed in, let alone ordinary wild beasts. Only a master with three levels of blood coagulation would have a chance to break through the formation, but even that would only be limited to a few thousand people. If the formation reached tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, even a master with three levels of blood coagulation would be exhausted and die within it.

The same applies to warriors and demons. Some demons that have undergone one or two transformations are indeed powerful and more terrifying than ordinary tigers and leopards, but they still cannot break through such a well-formed military formation. Once they rush in, they are left with more than a dozen bloody holes in their bodies.

Swish!
Zhou Huai'an remained calm, showing no change in expression even when facing the hordes of demons and wild beasts covering the mountains and plains. He wielded his weapon, and wherever the blade struck, both wild beasts and demons were easily torn apart by his long sword.

But his attention was not on these ordinary demons. He knew that among the demons that covered the mountains and fields, there must be a three-transformation demon. The three-transformation demon was the real threat. A demon of this level was enough to break through the city guard's formation. Even many night patrolmen, including Shi Zhenbang, were no match for it. They could die instantly in a single encounter.

As a martial arts master who has achieved three blood coagulations, he is well aware that his only responsibility is to stop the three-transformation demon.

Zhou Huai'an's eyes flickered as he observed the horde of demons surging across the mountains and plains. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he lunged forward, abandoning the wild beasts around him, heading straight for a distant direction.

"Got you!"

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he swung his sword horizontally, aiming at a giant ape.

The giant ape was enormous, standing sixteen feet tall. Its arms were extremely thick and long, covered in pale golden fur, and its entire body emanated a terrifying demonic aura. Facing Zhou Huai'an's blade, a fierce glint flashed in its eyes, and it swung its long arms violently to directly meet Zhou Huai'an's long blade.

Clang! !

When Zhou Huai'an's longsword clashed with the giant ape's long arm, it did not break instantly. Instead, it sounded like metal clashing, producing a crisp sound, and sparks flew everywhere at the point of impact.

The giant ape roared, its left arm jerking violently to deflect Zhou Huai'an's knife, while its right arm lunged towards Zhou Huai'an's heart, aiming to pierce through his chest.

"As expected of the three-change gibbon, its arms are really strong!"

Seeing this, Zhou Huai'an remained calm. He shook his long sword and used the momentum to dodge the attack of the long-armed ape demon.

There are many kinds of demons in the world, especially those that are transformed from low-level wild beasts. They are incredibly diverse, but the more times they transform, the more they tend to evolve in a unified direction.

Demons like apes that reach the third transformation level are basically either small, slender apes with extremely fast speed, or giant apes with long arms, whose arms are as tough and strong as refined steel. Even with Zhou Huai'an's third blood condensation realm and a single strike containing the power of unity, he could not break through the defense of its arms.

Swish! Swish!

Zhou Huai'an was a veteran of countless battles, and this was not the first time he had encountered similar monsters. He remained calm and knew that although the arms of this long-armed ape demon were indestructible, its body was very fragile. At this moment, he swung his long sword repeatedly, bypassing the ape's arms and launching a series of fierce attacks on its body.

The long-armed ape demon roared repeatedly, waving its arms and constantly parrying, fighting with Zhou Huai'an. Although it was incredibly strong and its arms were extremely fast, its body was not as agile as Zhou Huai'an's, and it was quickly put on the defensive.

far away.

After leading his soldiers to set up the defensive line, Li Minggang, the commander of the city's garrison, went straight to the front.

He noticed the exchange on Zhou Huai'an's side and immediately leaped forward, wielding a long spear.

"Brother Zhou, I'm here to help you!"

For them, apart from the Three Transformations Demon, the other demons posed no threat and could be easily killed. As long as they quickly dealt with the leader of the demons, they could soon dismantle the demon tide.

However, just as Li Minggang rushed over from afar to try to help Zhou Huai'an, a scream suddenly came from a distance.

"Ah!" Patrolman Shi Zhenbang was fighting a two-transformation demon when suddenly a blur swept over and shattered his left abdomen in an instant, leaving a huge bloody hole in his left waist and abdomen. He was clearly going to die!
"what?!"

The nearby patrolmen were all taken aback by what they saw.

Li Minggang also realized something was wrong and immediately changed direction, abandoning Zhou Huai'an and rushing towards Shi Zhenbang.

Swish.

After piercing Shi Zhenbang's left abdomen, the afterimage did not continue to attack Shi Zhenbang. Instead, it turned around and headed straight for Zhou Ruoyun, who was closest to it. Its snow-white, smooth fur made it look like a demonic weasel!
Its size is extremely small, and it looks almost like an ordinary squirrel, but its demonic aura is extremely terrifying. It is a great demon that has reached the third transformation realm. Its speed is as fast as lightning, far beyond what a martial artist with the second blood coagulation stage can match!
Ding!
Just as the Silver Moon Demon Sable was about to attack Zhou Ruoyun, Li Minggang finally arrived. His body moved like an arrow, and he thrust out his spear, forcefully stopping the Silver Moon Demon Sable in mid-air.

"Squeak."

The Silver Moon Sable hissed at Li Minggang, a hint of ferocity appearing in its scarlet eyes. Its body spun in mid-air, transforming into a silver afterimage, and attacked Li Minggang.

Li Minggang's gaze was calm as he brandished his spear, creating a circle of spears that firmly blocked the Silver Moon Demon Sable.

far away.

Zhou Huai'an, who was fighting the gibbon demon, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. He hadn't expected that there was a second three-transformation demon lurking among the demons. He had been caught off guard and suffered casualties, and Zhou Ruoyun had almost died. Fortunately, Li Minggang, the commander of the city guard, came to the rescue.

At this moment, the two three-transformation demons were stopped by Zhou Huai'an and Li Minggang respectively. In the midst of the melee, Shi Zhenbang, whose left abdomen had been pierced with a bloody hole, barely managed to parry a few blows. Blood gushed from his mouth and nose. Looking at the wound in his abdomen, with his internal organs flowing out, he couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile. While using his last breath to fight against the wolf demon in front of him, he said to Fu Jingsong, who was not far away, "Old Fu, I'm not going to make it. If you can go back, I hope you can take care of my two good-for-nothing children."

"it is good."

Fu Jingsong's gaze was downcast.

He and Shi Zhenbang had been friends for over ten years and had even gone through life and death together. Now, seeing Shi Zhenbang suffering a fatal wound and about to die before his eyes, he couldn't help but feel grief. But this was not the time for grief, so he could only forcefully suppress all his emotions and fight against the hordes of demons and wild beasts that kept surging in.

Wow! !

Shi Zhenbang was fatally wounded and managed to resist for a while longer, but he finally lost his grip on the weapon and was knocked out of his hand. He fell into the pack of wild beasts and was torn to pieces in front of everyone as his limbs were bitten.
"..."

Zhao Hu's face was grim. He wasn't close to Shi Zhenbang, but seeing his fellow patrolman Shi Zhenbang die before his eyes, he couldn't help but feel tense. Especially when he saw countless dark shadows still rushing towards him from the distant mountains, he felt a little uneasy. But for the moment, he could only suppress all his emotions, swing his knife to harvest the wild beasts one by one, and resist the attack of the demons.

Although the Silver Moon Demon Sable launched a sudden attack, resulting in Shi Zhenbang's death, the situation stabilized once again as Li Minggang blocked the Silver Moon Demon Sable. Many night patrolmen, in coordination with the city guards behind them, fought against the demon tide and were locked in a stalemate.

While fending off the Silver Moon Demon Sable, Li Minggang surveyed the battlefield with his eyes.

“This Silver Moon Demon Sable is quite troublesome. With my strength, I can hardly kill it; at most, I can only hold it off. However, Brother Zhou is far stronger than me. In just a while, he can deal with that long-armed ape demon. Then, he can come and help me deal with this sable…”

"My soldiers and night patrols working together can hold off this wave of beasts and demons."

The overall situation is decided!

Li Minggang assessed the current situation and felt reassured.

But at that moment, Zhou Huai'an, who was in the distance, suddenly shouted:
"Watch out to the east!"

Li Minggang's expression changed, and he glanced quickly at the east side of Dangmang Mountain. There he saw an extremely huge serpent, its body as solid as a rock, slithering towards him. It was several meters long and as thick as a human waist. Its demonic aura was incredibly terrifying. Without a doubt, it was another great demon that had reached the third transformation stage!

This three-transformation rock serpent ignored Zhou Huai'an, Li Minggang, and the others, and went straight down the mountain towards the city's defensive army formation in the distance. Wherever it went, mountains were uprooted and trees were felled, creating a terrifying momentum like an overwhelming force.

broken!

Li Minggang, Zhou Huai'an, and many other night patrolmen, including Fu Jingsong, all changed their expressions upon seeing this scene, and their hearts sank. This time, there were actually three great demons with three transformations in this beast tide!

This type of attack is common in the city's defense forces, which have been stationed there for years. However, usually only one of the three-transformation demons leads an attack, and it is extremely rare for two to appear.

With three-headed, three-transformation demons gathered together, this was no longer just a beast tide, but a small-scale demonic disaster!
On the distant plains.

The army of over a thousand city guards was horrified when they saw the giant rock serpent slithering towards them. They were trained for many years and could remain calm in the face of jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards, and could also deal with some low-level demons. But this kind of three-transformation demon, whose size alone was extremely terrifying, made them, ordinary people, turn pale at the sight of it!
"Don't panic!"

"Maintain formation!"

"kill!"

The ten centurions in charge of the formation paled as they saw the giant rock serpent charging towards them. However, they knew they could not retreat now, as the situation would worsen if the formation collapsed. They had no choice but to grit their teeth and shout to stabilize their formation.

As the giant rock serpent arrived, the dozens of soldiers at the forefront, under the command of their centurions, steadied themselves and simultaneously drew their spears, dozens of long spears piercing the air and thrusting towards the rock serpent.

boom! boom! boom! ! !
A series of sounds sounded.

When ordinary soldiers pierced the rock serpent's body with their spears, it was as if they were piercing tough steel, unable to even leave a mark on its scales. Some of the sergeants and even centurions, who were warriors, only managed to knock off a few rock fragments with their spears, without causing any actual damage.

The combined force of dozens of soldiers and a few martial artists thrusting and stabbing at the same time, even if not all at the same moment, was immense enough to overturn a bull weighing several thousand pounds. However, when faced with this terrifyingly large rock serpent, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, completely unable to budge its body in the slightest.

hum!
The rock serpent demon made its move the next moment. A hint of human-like contempt appeared in its demonic eyes. It swung its long tail violently, and a terrifying force poured out like a tidal wave.

"Shou!"

A centurion shouted.

In an instant, a dozen soldiers stepped forward from behind, each raising their shields and forming a line.

boom!
The giant tail of the rock serpent lashed out at the shield formation. In just an instant, the soldiers behind the shields felt an overwhelming and irresistible force. Seven or eight shields were shattered, and more than a dozen soldiers were sent flying backward.
