Chapter 288 All troops obey orders, White Tiger Formation...
Di Xiao looked at Xue Dingshan beside him and the many generals who followed him strangely: "Has the general and the reinforcements not arrived yet?"
"The support hasn't arrived yet." The general who followed him felt a little bitter and didn't know how to answer.
Xue Dingshan also scratched his head: "That's not right. In the past, when encountering such a situation, the support would arrive in no more than seven days at the latest. But now it's been almost half a year, why hasn't the support arrived yet? Although the barbarians invaded this time and came to die, this is still a war. Hasn't our Tang Dynasty always been very cautious in dealing with war? Why..."
Xue Dingshan was puzzled. Although Di Xiao had some guesses in his mind, he didn't know how to express them.
In short, the White Tiger Army is now under his control. Although Emperor Xiao's cultivation is not high, the whole army must obey his orders.
Over the past six months, Di Xiao has been following the pace of the war, digesting various military books, gaining insights into combat in the Journey to the West, and constantly evolving his deployment of troops.
It can be said that the current Emperor Xiao has made great progress in the art of war. His understanding of the great way of war is also getting deeper and deeper. Although Emperor Xiao is only a human immortal, his understanding of the great way of war is not inferior to those golden immortals.
Therefore, Emperor Xiao suspected that the reason why the reinforcements did not come was that the powerful men of the Tang Dynasty wanted him to continue this battle and better understand the great way of soldiers.
After all, the Great Way of Military Affairs is very special among the three thousand great ways. It is a great way that can only be better comprehended by leading troops in battle.
Di Xiao had a vague guess in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"Forget it, if the support doesn't come, then don't come. Anyway, the current barbarian invasion is enough to deal with it. However, what I am most worried about is what the Daluo behind this barbarian is planning?" Emperor Xiao is not stupid. It is too strange that the battle has come to this point. This demon Daluo is either a subordinate of the human race, specially manipulated to give the barbarians to the human race to kill.
Or maybe this demon clan Daluo has a special goal. And Emperor Xiao is inclined to the latter.
Just as Di Xiao was thinking, changes suddenly occurred on the battlefield.
"This..." Emperor Xiao instantly looked towards the battlefield. The originally vast and boundless battlefield and the towering Liangjie Mountain were piled with endless barbarian corpses. The sea of blood formed by these corpses dyed the land inside and outside Liangjie Mountain red. The stench and resentment it emitted were like a purgatory.
And in Purgatory, there were still barbarians coming to kill. But behind the familiar barbarians, there was now the sound of thousands of horses galloping, the earth was shaking, and there was a roar.
Then, one after another, I saw monsters wearing armor, with strange shapes, and even some with human bodies and animal heads coming towards me.
"Demon soldiers!" After seeing these beings, Emperor Xiao instantly recognized them. These were the so-called demon soldiers.
When the barbarians invaded before, there were also many demon soldiers. But the number of demon soldiers was small, and they were not as elite as the one in front of them. Now they are wearing armor and riding mounts, obviously they are elite demon soldiers.
Especially the demon general who led the troops, exuding a vast demonic aura, holding an axe: "My fellow demons, the real war has begun, follow me and kill..."
In an instant, the axe was raised and a mighty axe light slashed out, piercing through the barbarians and killing towards the Great Wall.
Di Xiao looked at the mighty force with his eyes widened: "Brother Xue..."
"Young General, don't panic. I'll do it..." I immediately saw the general of the Red Tiger Army draw the magic sword from his waist. It was an acquired spiritual treasure. He drew the sword and killed, stirring up the sword energy, and even carried a kind of military fighting spirit.
"Boom..." The sword energy and axe light surged and exploded in an instant, tearing apart countless mountains and rivers.
Such power even stirred up waves and moved the sky. The general of the Red Tiger Army took advantage of the roar and fell into the Great Wall. His expression became solemn: "Major General, this is not a demon general, but a demon king. A demon king comparable to the Taiyi realm!"
"No, not one. But eight!" Emperor Xiao's deep eyes, accompanied by the mystery of his double pupils, instantly saw through the land of Liangjie Mountain, even though hundreds of millions of demon soldiers came out. And the seven who led these demon soldiers, each of them was the same as the demon king just now.
The eight demon kings, each of them was perfectly transformed into a human form, but Emperor Xiao's double pupils saw their true form. They were eight pig demons, wearing armor, commanding hundreds of millions of demon soldiers, and followed by countless barbarians.
Moreover, the barbarians who followed were all wearing armor, not as simple as the barbarians who had died before.
Obviously, the one that appeared before him was the core of this battle. The barbarians before him were only used to send themselves to death and to consume the White Tiger Army.
The eight Taiyi realm demon kings stood tall and laughed loudly: "Haha...it's finally our turn. The real war will begin next."
"When we invade the Tang Dynasty later, we will certainly devour countless human beings and taste what they are like." A demon king laughed grimly.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and evolve your magical powers to break through the Great Wall!" He seemed to be the strongest demon king, and his sharp eyes swept across the other demon kings, making them look sideways.
Immediately, the eight demon kings evolved their magical powers together, which made Emperor Xiao feel ominous.
Under that ominous situation, the acupoints in Emperor Xiao's body were stirred, shooting in endless starlight and blood, which rushed into his pupils, allowing Emperor Xiao to see more clearly.
Emperor Xiao was attracted by the sight of the mountains of corpses and blood scattered across the two worlds, as well as the countless fallen barbarian corpses. Then, the resentment of countless remaining barbarians gathered and surged towards one place.
"Hiss... That is, that is a knife, a blood-colored knife. Oh no, it's the legendary blood-red knife!" After seeing this object, Di Xiao instantly had this realization in his mind.
This understanding also came from the military book given by Han Xin, which described the details of the battle between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect during the King Wu's conquest of King Zhou.
Therefore, when Emperor Xiao saw the Blood Sword of Transformation, he recognized it instantly. After recognizing it, Emperor Xiao knew that something was wrong, and he immediately roared: "Activate the Great Wall Guardian Formation, all troops listen to my order, the White Tiger Formation..."
With the roar, the entire army obeyed the order instantly, and then they saw the Great Wall humming, the formation surging, and then a black dragon rose up and turned into a special formation that covered this place.
At the same time, the army was agitated, the military formation evolved, and then a white tiger rose up, roared to the sky, and roared at the demon clan.
But in the demon clan, all the barbarians who had fallen before were transformed into nutrients to nourish that special blood knife. Then the blood evil and endless filth that soared into the sky made this blood knife look very terrifying.
It’s clear now. I’ve figured it out.
Why did the barbarians keep dying before? It was all for the Blood Sword of Transformation.
What is the Blood Sword of the Gods? It is a special magical power that Yu Hua, a disciple of Jiejiao, displayed during the Conferred Gods Tribulation. The special thing about this magical power is that it is not only a magical power, but also a magical treasure.
To cultivate the Divine Blood Blade, one needs to collect the evil spirits, resentment, and filthy air from heaven and earth, interweave corpses and flesh, and refine them into a blood blade along with some materials. After that, the blood blade is branded with magical powers, evolving into an invisible divine blade.
