Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 460 The sword comes
Who would have thought that he would kneel down before the Vanguard Lord as soon as he got close? It wasn't out of excessive respect, but rather because the little girl, who hadn't controlled her aura, sent him flying.

Lying on the ground, tears welling up in my eyes, I thought to myself, "I'm an old monster, after all."

It was already embarrassing enough that our combat strength was roughly equal before, but it's even more embarrassing now that we're at the same cultivation level. This world is too cruel.

Xiao Qing immediately convened a grand meeting, leading three thousand demon soldiers to welcome them.

"Hahahaha, you truly are my good disciple."

"I went to see it once in between, and the scene there was almost half the size of my own."

Xiaoqing laughed heartily to hide her surprise.

Actually, although her transformation went smoothly, the commotion was best left unmentioned.

But it doesn't matter, a successful apprentice only proves the master's skill.

Now that the vanguard officer and Xu Xuan have returned together, let's start the war.

Taihu Lake should have had only one ruler long ago.

Just in time, the appointed time has arrived.

A thunderclap in winter, its murderous intent palpable!

Upon receiving the signal, Turtle Da set off on Changdang Lake.

The sky is below, the lake is above, this is the hexagram Guai.

Guai: Proclaimed in the royal court, a solemn oath is issued; the announcement is made from the city, it is not advantageous to engage in war, but it is advantageous to have a destination.

This means that when there is a significant disparity in strength, one should not immediately engage in battle, but rather plan carefully before taking action.

Yes, this divination result is stable.

So he immediately turned around and said:

"Your Majesty, the time has come to raise an army and fight a decisive battle!"

Upon hearing this, the Red Dragon King's eyes turned serious, and he immediately raised more than a dozen command flags to gather his generals!

After half a year of fighting, he narrowly escaped death several times, losing dozens of allies and countless demon soldiers.

Today, the Taihu Alliance has driven the Azure Demon King's forces out of the lower reaches of Taihu Lake, and now is the time for a decisive counterattack.

As General Benbo said, in terms of troops, we have a tenfold advantage. In terms of generals, we have an equal advantage. How could we possibly lose?

At the foot of Mount Dafu, the oath-taking ceremony began.

The Azure Demon King is deceitful and wicked, destroying lakes and slaughtering demons; he harms living beings, is vicious and cruel, and his sins are numerous!
Today, the Red Dragon King has assembled a great mobilization of righteous soldiers from the aquatic tribes of Taihu Lake, vowing to sweep away the chaos and annihilate the villains. We urge you to raise a righteous army, join us in venting public anger, and save our people. This proclamation must be obeyed swiftly upon receipt!
The first route is led by the Green Water King of Zhonghe River. The second route is led by the Water-Striking General of Meizhu River. The third route is led by the Meishan King of Huangli River. The eighteenth route is led by the Black Water King of Xuhe River.

A total of eighteen armies marched upstream along the Wusong River, Dongjiang River, and Loujiang River, and stormed into Taihu Lake.

That night, the water levels of the three rivers in Taihu Lake rose against the trend, and tens of thousands of demons surged out. Demon clouds and the aura of war covered the sky and the sun. When they entered Taihu Lake, they connected more than 20 miles of water area, which was really powerful.

The Red Dragon King stood triumphantly on the crest of the wave and roared.

"Azure Demon King, come out!"

At this moment, it felt that it had reached the pinnacle of its demonic life, and was only one step away from the supreme throne.

He even recalled the hardships and setbacks he had encountered along the way.

Ultimately, destiny was deeply etched into my heart.

The calm surface of Taihu Lake under the cover of night began to ripple.

swish swish swish
A breeze picked up, and the reeds on the bank swayed like green waves, creating ripples on the water's surface.

White splashes of water, dark waves begin to churn.

An invisible aura was emanating from beneath the water's surface, accompanied by the terrifying sounds of clashing weapons.

In an instant, a yellow wind rolled in, obscuring the sky and darkening the earth, while a purple mist rose and shrouded the ground in gloom.

The Taihu Allied Forces present were immediately thrown into a panic; what a powerful momentum!

Before the troops arrived, the killing intent preceded their arrival.

Splash splash ...
The lake water was as if it had been split in two by a sharp sword, and a flag flew out from the crack in the middle.

青！
The demons retreated ten steps, traumatized by the defeat. Even the Red Dragon King himself was badly beaten and barely escaping; he wouldn't have dared to fight to the death if he hadn't now amassed an overwhelming force.

Then came the sound of splashing water, a sound that made even demons tremble.

The ruthless star who struck fear into the hearts of the demons of Taihu Lake has finally appeared.

It was majestic and imposing, filled with murderous intent, and teeming with all sorts of demons.

Three thousand demon soldiers circled in a tight formation, while a large group of men and horses thronged together. Strange fog and gloomy clouds filled the underworld, while billowing smoke and malevolent energy shot towards the heavens.

Little Green, the supreme ruler, commands all; the swordsmen of Shu Mountain guard the rear. The Taoist master controls nature; the wicked general and the heroic vanguard lead the charge. The white fish of Taihu Lake are fierce in their eyes; the mud dragon wields a cold iron spear. They divide the waters and march forth under the moon, displaying their might and power above Taihu Lake.

This is what it means to have a strong and well-equipped army.

The Taihu Allied Forces retreated another ten steps, their morale less than 70% of what it was when they swore an oath.

Xiaoqing stood on the high ground without even looking at the other side. This war has been mainly about training troops, exploring the waterway, and gathering the enemy.

Now that all objectives have been achieved, this final battle is nothing more than a dazzling stage.

What she's thinking about now is how to fit a big one.

The Red Dragon King was furious, knowing that a demon general had to lead the vanguard in this battle. General Benbo understood and raised his command flag.

Among the allied forces, the King of Meishan of Huangli River stepped forward, clad in black armor, carrying a embroidered axe, with a fierce expression on his face.

Its brother was killed by the Green Demon King's subordinates, and it has come today to seek revenge.

He immediately pointed the ax at Yu Bai.

"White Fish Demon, you falsely claim to be a Doctor of Taihu Lake, and you have led outside demons into the waters. Your crime is unforgivable. Do you dare to come out and fight back!"

Before Yu Bai could even respond, some people had already lost their will to kill.

A streak of crimson light flew out from the formation.

"You thieving general, do you recognize my vanguard officer, Li Yingqi?"

The King of Meishan's eyes were practically spitting fire; how could he not recognize him?

Its older brother was killed by this reckless human child.

He immediately grabbed his battle axe and charged over.

Despite the menacing enemy, Li Yingqi remained calm and refused his master's divine weapon. Instead, he wielded a simple iron longsword, deftly deflecting the enemy's attacks.

The sword light was calm yet sharp, causing the King of Meishan to roar repeatedly and break out in a cold sweat.

Besides honing one's spirit and energy, practicing swordsmanship with a focused mind and spirit over a hundred days yields even better results.

After offering sacrifices to the Long-Browed Immortal, she felt she had made significant progress and gained a more lawless air.

Such miraculous swordsmanship and combat prowess astonished both sides; the phrase "transformed from the ashes" is insufficient to describe how this person underwent a complete metamorphosis after entering the Dao.

With the same magical power and cultivation, the Killing Star became increasingly unfathomable, and the current battles were merely an adaptation to his own strength.

After fifty fierce moves, King Meishan finally could not bear the pain of being cut by a dull knife and spat out a demon core.

He shattered the ordinary iron longsword in the most dangerous way, but paid the price of serious injury himself.

"Hehe, your sword is already..."

He then died.

Without hesitation, Li Yingqi threw the sword hilt, and the test ended.

He threw the Mani Bead with a backhand, causing Meishan King's vision to go black. Then he unleashed the Gui Water Yin Thunder, shattering the opponent's armor. Finally, he took out the Ten-Thousand-Year Warm Jade and smashed the man to death.

The crimson hue spread across Taihu Lake, marking the beginning of the war.

"Demon, I will fight you."

"Give me back my brother's life!"

"Brothers of Meishan, kill them!"

Whether it was pre-arranged, genuinely due to deep friendship, or simply because the swordsman was unarmed, three demon kings from the Taihu Allied Forces rushed out to attack.

Xiaoqing was furious. Bullying me?!

Li Yingqi suddenly raised his hand, signaling everyone not to move.

The time is coming.

Ever since she entered the Dao, she had a sudden feeling that her own sword was returning.

That's why I rushed to the battlefield in such a short time.

For no other reason than that there are many people, many demons, and a grand scene here.

The style that this Baoantang has always maintained is so captivating.

As the three generals of Taihu charged forward, Li Yingqi looked up at the sky.

"Here comes the sword!!!"

Xiaoqing was shocked. Could it be that her little apprentice was faking it?!
Then I looked up at the horizon, and there it was!!!
All the demons looked over as well; they had no choice but to watch, for terrifying sword energy and killing intent were rapidly approaching, a fear born of instinct.

Xu Xuan crouched in the reeds, observing intently. Had the reward for killing Changmei finally arrived?!

Two streaks of light, one blue and one purple, flew in from the horizon.

The two swords fell, trailing long, fiery tails, and in an instant, a fierce aura filled the entire area.

The demons witnessed rivers of blood, countless corpses strewn across the fields, and endless death.

Li Yingqi, on the other hand, was looking at the sword.

The hilt of the male sword is shaped like a dragon, with a long nose in front, resembling a bolt of purple lightning, and is named Ziying.

A green snake coiled around the hilt of the female sword, tangled like a rope. It resembled a bolt of emerald lightning and was called the Green Rope.

Its shape is unusual and ancient, and its radiance is intense. With the slightest movement, the gleaming tip of the sword stands out like a serpent flicking its tongue, flashing incessantly.

The moment she grasped the sword, the aura of the sword and the sword master's killing intent resonated perfectly.

This is the scene I wanted, and it's the perfect battle for the two swords to work in sync.

The killing begins.

　My stomach is a little better, but it's still very uncomfortable. I definitely need to exercise more in the future; this period has almost killed me.
