Chapter 1248 What does it matter if these 5 people of Wuwei City are sacrificed?
"What exactly is he doing? Why does he sometimes give me a feeling of unease?"
Gu Xiu's breakthrough occurred in his spiritual sea.
However, the aura emanating from him was constantly changing along with his breakthrough, and at least Wuwei Gong, who had been paying close attention to Gu Xiu, had the most direct feeling about it at this moment.
In his opinion.
Gu Xiu, sitting cross-legged, sometimes resembled a rolling boulder, sometimes a howling gale, sometimes a thunderbolt, and sometimes a raging torrent.
Every moment, that body, which was not considered powerful to Duke Wuwei, seemed to be accumulating terrifying power, ready to burst out at any moment and shatter everything.
"A spiritual energy path... is it really that powerful?"
Even Duke Wuwei couldn't help but have some doubts.
To be honest, as a half-saint of the divine path who had killed more than one ascended immortal, Duke Wuwei did not have much faith in the spiritual energy path, because in his view, those powerful figures of the spiritual energy path were just fragile paper tigers.
They appeared imposing, but in reality, they were all incredibly weak.
But now, facing Gu Xiu who was breaking through, he actually felt a terrifying fluctuation from this not-so-powerful cultivator that made his hair stand on end.
This almost completely overturned his understanding of Reiki pathways.
"Bang~!"
While Duke Wuwei was distracted, the eighth-tier demon suddenly lunged forward and ripped off a piece of Duke Wuwei's flesh with its sharp claws. Immediately afterward, several other seventh-tier demons who had arrived also rushed forward.
Duke Wuwei snorted angrily, his body radiating golden light once more. Instead of retreating, he advanced, unleashing the full killing power of the Breaking Army Path. He slashed fiercely with his halberd.
The eighth-tier demon immediately sensed the danger and tried to escape, but unfortunately...
"die!"
With a roar from the Duke of Wuwei, the halberd finally severed the head of this formidable enemy.
To prevent the demon from making any comeback, he chased after the fallen head and chopped it down hard until it was completely shattered and silent, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He killed a monstrous creature of the same rank as himself.
However, he also paid a heavy price, because he had to withstand the attacks of several seventh-tier demons to kill the eighth-tier demon. The price he paid was that his body was already covered in blood and gore.
The torn wounds were even stained with a grayish-white aura. This grayish-white aura was clearly problematic; the flesh and blood stained with it seemed to become violent and restless, constantly trembling, looking like tiny tentacles.
This is what makes evil demons so terrifying. Without specific methods to deal with them, once you are harmed by an evil demon, your body may even slowly turn into an evil demon.
Fortunately, though.
The half-saint of the Broken Army Path was indeed powerful. Combined with his invincible physical body, the grayish-white aura quickly faded under the golden light, and the torn flesh and blood also healed rapidly in front of the naked eye.
Without that powerful eighth-tier enemy, these seventh-tier demons were not taken seriously by Duke Wuwei. After a brief battle, they were all killed by Duke Wuwei.
But the Duke of Wuwei's expression was not good.
He had no chance to rest at all, because just after he had cleared away the danger, he saw several different but extremely powerful demonic figures appear in the gray fog outside the city.
Several more seventh-tier demonic beasts attacked, even more than before. Moreover, among them were two eighth-tier demonic beasts.
"These monstrous demons... are they endless?"
"What's wrong with them? Why are they doing this? Is Heaven really going to destroy Wuwei City?"
"It's over, we're all going to die, Wuwei City is going to perish."
"..."
Despair was growing wildly and spreading rapidly. Whether it was the common people in the city or the soldiers responsible for defending the city gates, everyone felt a sense of bitterness and despair.
The monstrous demons were numerous and seemed to have no end.
They can hold them off for a while.
But no one knows how long Wuwei City can hold out.
"Everyone, perk up! The demonic siege can't go on forever. If you want to survive, you have to fight and persevere!"
"Otherwise, do you expect the evil demon to let you go?"
"Only by relying on the weapons in our hands can we kill!"
"Fight your way out!"
At the critical moment, the Lord of Wuwei City roared, his voice amplified by divine power and resounding throughout the city. These words spurred many soldiers, some of whom had already begun to lose their will to fight, to grit their teeth and persevere once more. Even some of the city's residents, who had initially fled in panic, began to join the battle.
The Lord of Wuwei City is right.
In the current situation, they have no way out. The evil demon will not let anyone go, let alone choose to surrender. It is not a matter of life or death for both sides. No matter how desperate they are, they can only grit their teeth and persevere.
Only by persisting will you have a chance!
Only by killing can we fight our way out!
The fighting spirit that had nearly collapsed in the city was reignited. Even those who had just joined the army were filled with a bloodthirsty aura after this great battle, gritting their teeth and persevering, ready to die for their cause.
Even the city gates, which were on the verge of collapse, were successfully defended because of their overwhelming momentum.
This is good news.
But the Lord of Wuwei City felt utterly powerless as he watched all this.
Because he knew that he could ignite the fighting spirit of the people in the city, enabling them to unleash terrifying power once again to resist the evil demon, but this fighting spirit could not burn indefinitely.
It could go out at any time.
If the wicked demon does not retreat once the flames are extinguished, everyone will die.
more importantly……
"Is there three this time?" Duke Wuwei looked at the new batch of evil demons and couldn't help but sigh.
This time, not only were there sixth and seventh-order demonic beasts rushing in, but there were even more powerful ones, including three eighth-order demonic beasts, which were now densely packed and charging towards the Mo Family Temple.
Even if the Lord of Wuwei City was very strong, he could only stand in the courtyard where Gu Xiu was, protecting Gu Xiu.
no way.
Demons at this level possess sentience, and their goal is to kill Gu Xiu. The City Lord of Wuwei cannot leave; if he does, the other demons will seize the opportunity to swarm him.
Fortunately, most of the high-level evil demons are huge, and the location where Gu Xiu is located only allows a maximum of four evil demons to enter at the same time.
The city lord of Wuwei simply stood still, holding his halberd, displaying a kind of invincible courage.
The name "Wuwei" was truly and vividly displayed by the Lord of Wuwei City.
but……
This also means that the Lord of Wuwei City will have no chance to rest, and he will face almost endless attacks.
“Lord of Wuwei City, you should be able to see that it is this kid who is attracting these evil demons. No matter how strong you are, you will eventually fall!” At this moment, the Mo family half-saint who had been cut off and only had one head left spoke up.
She had been thrown out by Shattered Star before, after all, she was an indestructible being, and was used by Shattered Star as a shield.
"Oh? And then?" The city lord of Wuwei asked indifferently without turning his head.
The old woman screamed, "What you should do now is kill this boy. The evil demon came because of him. As long as you kill him, the evil demon will retreat, and then everyone in Wuwei City will be saved."
"Fool," the city lord of Wuwei replied.
"You actually dared to curse me?" The old woman was puzzled and became even more resentful. "Have you lost your mind? I'm doing this for the sake of your Wuwei City. I know you've only known this kid for a few days and you're not that close to him. Are you really going to abandon the 50 million people of Wuwei City for the sake of such a distant outsider?"
She didn't understand why the Lord of Wuwei City was working so hard.
The city lord of Wuwei merely scoffed at her howling:
"You don't believe me when I say you're an idiot."
"Although I don't know why the evil demon is so desperate to kill him, the more desperately the evil demon tries, the more I understand."
"He is a threat to the evil demon."
"It is a threat that must be eliminated."
"If he truly has a way to wipe out the evil demons and end the suffering of the Three Enclosures Sea of Evil for generations, what does it matter if it means sacrificing fifty million people in my Wuwei City?"
