Chapter 332 The Attack of the Holy Demon Clan
Gu Sheng pondered for a moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Princess, I think we should use the Liang army to face the enemy head-on, and the people in the martial arts world led by me will be the surprise troops to attack the Holy Demon Clan from the flank. In this way, we will definitely break their position."
Yun Zishuang nodded in agreement: "Good plan! I will arrange it now."
Soon, the Liang army commanded by Yun Zishuang and the people in the martial arts world led by Gu Sheng were ready. Gu Sheng was wearing a golden battle armor, shining in the sun, and the colorful jade sword in his hand exuded a fascinating light.
On the battlefield, the pride of mankind gathered together, including Gu Wan, Gu Jingang, Lu Biluo, Lin Qingyu and others. They each led the elite of their respective forces and prepared to fight a decisive battle with the Holy Demon Clan.
"Everyone," Gu Sheng raised the Seven-Colored Jade Maiden Sword, "Today's battle is about the survival of the human race! I, Gu Sheng, am willing to fight side by side with you and swear to drive the Holy Demon Clan out of our homeland!"
"Drive them out of our homeland! Defend the human race!" Everyone shouted in unison, the momentum shook the sky.
With Yun Zishuang's order, the Liang army rushed to the Holy Demon Clan's position like a torrent. Gu Sheng led the people of Jianghu and quietly went around the flank of the Holy Demon Clan.
When the Holy Demon Clan was still fighting fiercely with the Liang army, Gu Sheng and others suddenly rushed out. Their appearance was like a bolt from the blue, catching the Holy Demon Clan off guard. Gu Sheng activated his skills, and the vision of golden waves appeared. His ancient holy body was shining with golden light, and he slapped out golden palms and fists. Every blow caused heavy damage to the Holy Demon Clan.
"Young men of the Holy Demon Clan, have a taste of my Nine Swords of Swift Wind!" Gu Sheng shouted, and his figure shuttled through the enemy formation like the wind. Wherever the Seven-Colored Jade Maiden Sword passed, the Holy Demon Clan fell one after another.
Under the fierce attack of Gu Sheng and others, the Holy Demon Clan began to retreat step by step.
"The Holy Demon Clan wants to retreat? It's not that easy!" Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with a cold light. He stood on the high ground and looked down at the retreating Holy Demon Clan army below with a torch-like gaze.
"Gu Sheng, what should we do next?" Ji Yewei walked to Gu Sheng, her voice was a little anxious.
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, turned around and said to Ji Yewei: "We must stop them and never let them evacuate easily. You immediately notify everyone and prepare for battle!"
Soon, Gu Sheng united the forces of various major sects and carefully set up an ambush on the road that the Holy Demon Clan must take to retreat. At this time, Su Xian of the Fire Worship Sect, Gu Jingang of the Thousand Poison Sect, Zhu Meng of the Crazy Blade Sect, Linghu Qingwan of the Giant Sword Sect, Wen Mingyan of the Holy Dan Sect, and Lin Zhenghao of the Haoyang Sect all responded to Gu Sheng's call and led their respective disciples to join the blocking battle.
Soon, the Holy Demon Clan army reached the ambush site. At Gu Sheng's order, the human coalition launched a fierce attack on the Holy Demon Clan like a tiger descending from the mountain.
"Kill!" Gu Sheng raised the Seven-Colored Jade Maiden Sword, shouted, and rushed to the Holy Demon Clan army in person. It was seen that his cultivation had reached the amazing fifth level of the Undersea Realm. Every time he activated his skills, strange images such as mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, flowers, birds, and beasts would emerge. The golden waves were rolling endlessly, and the breath was as powerful as the endless river. His body seemed to be shrouded in golden light, and every punch and palm contained earth-shaking power.
In this fierce battle, Gu Sheng's grass vine demon soul showed terrifying power.
"Grass vines turn into lotus!" Gu Sheng shouted again, and the grass vine demon soul instantly turned into a huge green lotus floating in the air. The lotus leaves were as green as jade, emitting a faint cold light. Then, the scene of the green lotus pond emerged, and the vision of the endless green lotus leaves seemed to turn the entire battlefield into a sea of green lotus.
These green lotuses and lotus leaves are not only beautiful, but also contain terrifying corrosive power. They constantly emit a faint green mist. Wherever the mist passes, both the flesh of the Holy Demon Clan and their weapons are quickly corroded and turned into a pool of pus.
"Ah! What the hell is this? Why did my weapon turn into pus?" A Holy Demon Clan soldier shouted in horror.
"Run! There is something strange about this green lotus!" Another Holy Demon Clan general changed his face and tried to command the troops to evacuate, but it was too late.
The green lotus pond seemed to have endless corrosive power. It continued to spread, trapping the Holy Demon Clan army in it. They seemed to be trapped in an endless maze, and no matter how they walked, they could not escape the encirclement of the Qinglian.
At the same time, under the leadership of Gu Sheng, the human coalition army used the maze effect of the Qinglian Lotus Pond to launch a fierce attack on the Holy Demon Clan. They seemed to be swimming in the Qinglian Lotus Pond freely, while the Holy Demon Clan fell into panic and chaos.
"Great! This Qinglian Lotus Pond is really our natural barrier!" Ji Yewei shouted excitedly.
After a desperate fight, the Holy Demon Clan army retreated step by step in the corrosion and maze of the Qinglian Lotus Pond. They tried to break through the terrifying Qinglian encirclement, but every attempt ended in failure. In the end, the Holy Demon Clan army had to choose to retreat, leaving behind a mess on the ground and countless corroded Holy Demon Clan soldiers.
This victory was not without cost. Zhu Meng, the leader of the Mad Blade Sect, died on the battlefield in a confrontation with a powerful Saint Demon Clan member; Gu Jingang of the Thousand Poison Sect also died in the poisonous fog together with several Saint Demon Clan members; Su Xian, the leader of the Zoroastrianism Sect, was seriously injured, and was saved by Gu Sheng who took him into the life space in time when he was dying; and Wen Mingyan also insisted on fighting on the front line with his flesh and blood covered.
After the battle, Gu Sheng stood silently on the battlefield, looking at the mess and sacrificed comrades, his heart was filled with grief and regret. But he also understood that this war was necessary, and for the future and peace of the human race, they must stick to the end!
"Brothers, rest in peace." Gu Sheng whispered softly, his eyes revealed firmness and determination, "We will continue to fight until the Holy Demon Clan is completely driven out of our homeland!"
As the overall situation gradually stabilized, Gu Sheng withdrew from the fierce battlefield. He took a deep breath and released his grass vine demon soul. This grass vine is more than 7,000 meters long, green and full of vitality, containing strong vitality and corrosive ability.
"Master Su Xian, Elder Wen, come to me, I will use grass vines to heal you." Although Gu Sheng's voice was not loud, it was full of power.
Su Xian, Wen Mingyan and others heard the words and approached Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng controlled the grass vine demon soul and gently wrapped it around their wounds. The grass vine seemed to have life, gently wriggling at the wound, releasing green aura.
"What a comfortable feeling." Su Xian said softly, she could feel the wound healing quickly.
Wen Mingyan also showed a surprised expression: "This grass vine has such a magical effect!"
Soon, the injuries of Su Xian, Wen Mingyan and others were healed. Gu Sheng did not stop, he released a large number of grass vines again, like thousands of troops on the battlefield. These grass vines not only corroded the remaining Saint Demon soldiers, but also released green aura to heal the wounds of friendly forces.
"What's going on? Those grass vines are healing us!" A soldier said in surprise.
"It's Gu Sheng! He is helping us!" Another soldier shouted excitedly.
With the help of Gu Sheng's grass vine demon soul, the morale of the human coalition was greatly boosted. And those Saint Demon soldiers fell one after another under the corrosion of the grass vines. As one side grew stronger, the other side fell. The Saint Demons were soon defeated and fled everywhere.
For a long time afterwards, the human race began to encircle and suppress the Saint Demons. In this encirclement and suppression war, Gu Sheng's grass vine demon soul played a huge role. It can not only corrode the enemy, but also heal the wounds of friendly forces. Under the leadership of Gu Sheng, the human coalition was unstoppable and forced the Holy Demon Clan into a desperate situation.
Thanks to the efforts of Gu Sheng and others, the passage between the Holy Demon World and the Human World was sealed again. This war also ended with the victory of the human race.
"We won!" Gu Sheng raised the Seven-Colored Jade Maiden Sword and cheered loudly. His voice echoed over the battlefield, inspiring everyone's heart.
"Brother Gu Sheng, you are the hero of our human race!" Wen Mingyan patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder and said excitedly.
Su Xian also came over. She looked at Gu Sheng with a grateful light in her eyes: "Thank you, Gu Sheng. It was you who led us to victory."
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "This is our common victory. Without everyone's efforts, we can't defeat the Holy Demon Clan."
With the sealing of the passage and the retreat of the Holy Demon Clan, the human race ushered in a period of peace again.
With the defeat of the Holy Demons and the sealing of the passage, the human race ushered in a long-lost peace. In this festive atmosphere, Queen Zishuang decided to hold a grand celebration banquet to honor the heroes who made outstanding contributions in the war.
The celebration banquet was held in the most spacious hall in the palace. The magnificent decorations and bright lights reflected each other, highlighting the dignity and majesty of the royal family. The hall was full of people, and heroes from all walks of life gathered together, their faces filled with the joy of victory.
"Her Majesty the Queen has arrived!" As the eunuchs sang loudly, Queen Zishuang walked slowly into the hall. She was dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe and a dazzling crown on her head, looking majestic and noble. Her appearance immediately caused a warm applause and cheers.
Queen Zishuang smiled and waved to everyone, then walked to the high platform and stood still. She looked around at the people present and said, "Today, we gather together to honor those heroes who were brave and fearless in the war and made great achievements. Their efforts and sacrifices are the key to our victory."
Empress Zishuang paused and continued, "First, I will confer the title of Duke of Protecting the Country on Gu Sheng and grant him ten fiefdoms, three thousand purple spirit stones, one hundred spirit-gathering pills, and countless gold and silver."
Gu Sheng was stunned when he heard his name being mentioned, then he stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Empress Zishuang smiled and helped Gu Sheng up, saying, "Gu Sheng, everyone has seen your performance in the war, and these rewards are what you deserve. I hope you can continue to contribute your strength to the human race."
As Gu Sheng's reward fell, warm applause rang out again in the hall. Next was the reward session for Gu Wan, Lu Biluo, Lin Qingyu, Lin Miaomiao, Mo Buwen and others. Everyone received generous rewards and honors, and their faces were filled with smiles of pride and satisfaction.
When everyone's rewards were finished, Queen Zishuang spoke again: "Today's celebration banquet is not only a recognition of you, but also a celebration of the entire human race. From now on, we must unite more and work together to protect our homeland!"
As soon as the queen finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers rang out in the hall. Everyone was proud and excited to be able to participate in this grand celebration banquet.
Then came the celebration. The hall was filled with fine wine and delicious food. Representatives of various ethnic groups and factions toasted to celebrate the victory and the arrival of peace. The music sounded, and the dancers with graceful dancing brought wonderful performances to everyone.
In the atmosphere of celebration, Gu Sheng and others also relaxed and enjoyed this rare tranquility and happiness. They knew that although the war was over, there was still a long way to go in the future. They will continue to work hard to practice and improve their strength, and contribute their own strength to the prosperity and peace of the human race.
In a corner of the hall, Queen Zishuang stood quietly, her eyes deep and firm. She knew that this victory was hard-won, and she also understood that there was still a long way to go in the future. But she believed that with the joint efforts of everyone, the human race would surely usher in a better future.
"Gu Sheng." Queen Zishuang suddenly called softly.
Gu Sheng turned around and looked at the queen: "Your Majesty, what do you want?"
"Your military exploits this time are outstanding. I want to hear your opinion on the next one." Queen Zishuang said with a smile.
Gu Sheng pondered for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, I think we should strengthen cooperation and exchanges among all ethnic groups and factions. Only by unity can we better cope with future challenges."
After hearing this, Queen Zishuang nodded: "You are right. Unity and cooperation are the key to our victory. I hope you can continue to exert your leadership and contribute to the unity and prosperity of the human race."
The conversation between the two attracted the attention of the people around them, and they all cast approving glances.
After receiving the award, Gu Sheng began to meet with many old friends.
"Gu Sheng, good job!"
"The future is promising, Duke of the Protectorate!"
The voices of praise from the people came like a tide, and Gu Sheng smiled and nodded in response. After receiving the award, he felt particularly relaxed. At this moment, he has become the focus of the audience. As Queen Zishuang's reward ended, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more lively. The gathering of heroes officially began, and Gu Sheng couldn't wait to join this grand feast.
In the hall, nectar flowed, and the table was full of fairy fruits and delicacies. Representatives of various tribes and factions gathered together, their laughter and conversation intertwined to form a cheerful movement.
"Brother Sheng, congratulations!" Gu Wan strode over, patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder, his face filled with a sincere smile, "You have made great contributions in this battle!"
"No, no, without everyone's joint efforts, there would be no victory today." Gu Sheng responded modestly.
Lu Biluo also came over, she was dressed in white, floating like a fairy: "Gu Sheng, your military exploits this time are indeed impressive. But don't forget that the competition between us is not over yet." (End of this chapter)
