I stood at my original position and looked at the great battle at the foot of the mountain.
I had mixed feelings as I knew that it was just an illusion created by the Spirit Lock Pagoda, but everything in front of me was real.
Seeing that my comrades had nowhere to hide from the sharp claws of the Monster race, I really wanted to jump down the mountain and fight to the death with the Monster race.
However, I was too weak. Even if I went over, I wouldn't be able to do anything.
As I thought about it, I suddenly felt sorrowful.
Although I knew that the human race had obtained the final victory, the process was too cruel.
At that moment, the human army had been defeated and had fled. The Monster race didn't pursue them.
Although they were powerful, they had suffered great losses in this battle. Very quickly, they disappeared from the battlefield.
I stood at the peak of the mountain and observed everything. My heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
At that moment, the Spirit Snake had completely disappeared. I temporarily put aside the idea of looking for it. My feet moved slightly and I landed on the battlefield.
Previously, I had been standing far away and could only roughly understand the situation of the battlefield.
It wasn't until I was personally involved that I realized the cruelty of the war.
Dismembered corpses and broken arms could be seen everywhere. There were also many who perished together with the enemy. The scene was simply shocking.
Imagine how much courage it would take for the ordinary human race to face such a cruel war.
History books had recorded countless wars, big and small. If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have been able to understand the shock of the battlefield.
Looking at the dismembered bodies of the human race's martyrs, I was in awe.
I stood at my original position for a long time without moving. Only when the Spirit Snake jumped next to me did I come back to my senses.
He was shocked to see such a heroic scene. Then, he asked me what had happened.
I paused and told him what had happened.
After listening to me, he remained silent. Then, he told me that he hadn't been able to kill Qiong Qi.
At that moment, Qiong Qi's life wasn't important to me. What I was considering was how long the war between the humans and monsters would last and how to end it.
The Spirit Snake stood next to me and didn't urge me to leave.
After an hour, I sighed and brought him back to the village we had come from.
I didn't know how long I would have to stay in this desolate land, but I couldn't stay in the village forever. Therefore, I planned to bid farewell to the villagers when I returned. After all, they were kind people. If I left without saying a word, it would be somewhat inappropriate.
Unexpectedly, when I returned to the village with the snake spirit, another Monster race army was wantonly slaughtering the villagers in the village.
The anger in my heart was instantly ignited. I hadn't participated in the previous battle between the two armies because I knew that I wouldn't be able to change the outcome even if I went.
However, the current situation was different. The Monster race army in front of me wasn't as strong as before. Moreover, they had committed all sorts of crimes against the defenseless villagers. Although this was an illusion, I couldn't stand such a cruel scene.
Even the Spirit Snake behind me was indignant. There was anger hidden in its eyes.
Looking at the dozen Heavenly Master realm monsters in the Monster army, I gestured to the Spirit Snake to be careful and try not to fight with them.
The snake spirit nodded at me. Then, it transformed into its original form and flew towards the Monster race.
I took out the Armor Removing Sword and followed closely behind it. Very quickly, I killed a few weaker monsters.
The leader, who was standing in the distance, frowned when he saw that my power was extraordinary. He gestured for the Monster race to kill me first before killing the villagers.
Hearing that, I instantly became vigilant. Although most of my subordinates were only at the Shiyao realm, there were only the Spirit Snake and I. I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to resist them for long.
After thinking for a while, I called for Tong Tong and the Spirit Snake to come back.
If the three of us were to split up, we might be defeated by them one by one.
I told Tong Tong about the situation and reminded her to be careful.
With Tong Tong's help, the pressure on the Spirit Snake and I would be greatly reduced.
When the leader of the Monster race saw that I had another helper, he waved his hand and mobilized everyone to surround us.
How could I let him have his way? I gestured for Tong Tong and the Spirit Snake to pull apart the formation. Then, I stepped into the Nine Star Heavenly Dipper. With every step, my aura increased.
Immediately after, the Dao energy in my body continuously surged towards the Armor Removing Sword.
As I took the last step, the Armor Removing Sword was filled with Dao energy.
I raised the Armor Removing Sword up high and swung it at the Monster race army that was surging towards us.
The Armor Removing Sword shone brightly and the sword energy charged towards their faces. Its speed seemed to be beyond their imagination.
The attack made them feel the aura of death, causing them to stop in their tracks. Previously, they looked ferocious, but now, their faces were filled with fear and they seemed to be in a panic.
Many of the monsters that hadn't caught up with us immediately turned and ran when they saw the terrifying attack.
The monsters in front of us seemed to know that they couldn't dodge in time, so they tried to withstand the attack.
They spat out greyish-white smoke from their mouths. The smoke seemed to be a barrier that enveloped their bodies.
However, such a life-saving technique wasn't enough to withstand the sword energy of the Armor Removing Sword.
Ultimately, they were too weak. The barrier was as fragile as a bubble under the might of the sword energy. In the blink of an eye, the dozens of monsters were killed by the sword energy.
These were only small monsters that hadn't reached the Celestial Master realm. Killing them was as easy as chopping vegetables.
At that moment, my gaze was fixed on the leader and the dozens of Celestial Master realm monsters behind him.
They seemed to sense my gaze and turned to look at me. Their eyes were filled with rage, as though they wanted to tear me apart.
I didn't directly face them. Even though the previous attack had easily killed dozens of monsters, it had consumed a large amount of my physical strength.
I took off the jade bracelet and held it in my hand. As I absorbed the dragon energy from it, I channeled my Dao energy into the Armor Removing Sword.
After a short while, my physical strength had recovered. I kept the jade bracelet and walked towards the leader of the Monster race with my sword in hand.
When that person saw me walking towards him, he didn't panic. He didn't seem to want to deal with me personally. Instead, he waved his hand and signaled for the Celestial Master realm monsters behind him to kill me.
The monsters received the order and didn't hesitate as they charged towards me.
I didn't dare to be careless. Even though they were only at the Celestial Master realm, there were more than ten of them.
I didn't have enough confidence to face so many Celestial Masters at once.
The Snake Spirit and Tong Tong seemed to have sensed my situation. After clearing the surrounding monsters, they quickly rushed to my side to face the enemy together with me.
The dozen Celestial Master realm monsters had an imposing aura. Their bodies emitted a faint green mist as they quickly reached me.
Their fists emitted smoke as they aimed at my face.
I didn't dare to face them head-on. My body flashed to avoid the attack. Then, I leaped a few meters backward to put some distance between me and them.
Seeing that I had easily dodged their attacks, the monsters became even more enraged.
Then, they chased after us. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of us and surrounded us.
Since I was being attacked from both sides, I didn't dare to be careless.
Since I had easily dodged their attack, the monsters didn't hurry to attack me. Instead, they observed me from head to toe.
Their sneaky looks gave me goosebumps.
I immediately took out a few Fierce Yang Talismans from my Xiang Liu bag and threw them at them.
They didn't expect me to attack them. Before they could react, the Fierce Yang Talismans hit them.
The flames produced by the Fierce Yang Talismans were Yang flames, which were extremely lethal to monsters and ghosts.
Moreover, I was a Seal Heavenly Master, so the power of the Fierce Yang Talismans in my hands couldn't be underestimated.
The Fierce Yang Talismans exploded on their bodies. Their bodies were burning with Yang flames.
Their faces changed, but they didn't look panicked. Instead, they controlled the smoke on their bodies to surround the Yang flames, separating them from their bodies.
Indeed, the Yang flames weren't dangerous to Heavenly Masters.
After the three monsters had dealt with the Yang flames, their eyes met. Then, they nodded as if they had reached an agreement.
Then, the three of them attacked me at the same time.
They were really fast. Their fists covered in green smoke reached me in just a blink of an eye. However, my reaction wasn't slow. I raised the Dismantling Armor Sword and parried their fists.
The moment the fists touched the sword energy of the Dismantling Armor Sword, I quickly retracted them.
As the three monsters couldn't subdue me, they turned around and dashed toward the Snake Spirit and Tong Tong.
At first, the Snake Spirit and Tong Tong were fighting two monsters at the same time. However, with the addition of the three monsters, they were quickly suppressed.
I glanced at the Snake Spirit. Although he was facing three monsters, his body was as strong as a Yang God Heavenly Master's. I didn't need to worry about him getting hurt.
On the other hand, Tong Tong didn't have a strong body like the Snake Spirit. He couldn't resist anymore.
I hurried to raise the Dismantling Armor Sword and dashed toward the monsters attacking Tong Tong.
Those monsters had seen the power of the Dismantling Armor Sword. When they saw me, they stopped attacking Tong Tong and turned around to deal with me.
I gave Tong Tong a look, asking him to attack from the front and the back to kill those monsters.
Tong Tong understood. He immediately wielded the whip made of Yin energy and lashed at one of the monsters.
The monster's attention was completely focused on me, so it wasn't on guard against my eyes. It only reacted when the black lightning whip hit its body.
However, it didn't have enough time to dodge. The black whip had bound it tightly.
I had already charged in front of him, and the Armor Stripping Sword in my hand fiercely slashed at his face.
While it was defenseless, I killed the Heavenly Master realm monster with one strike.
This attack came too suddenly. The other three monsters didn't seem to be able to react, but from the looks of it, they should have been shocked by this attack.
They wouldn't dare to attack in a short time.
I seized the chance and sent my Dao energy into the Dismantling Armor Sword. At the same time, my hand reached for the jade bracelet in front of my chest.
Tong Tong and I did the same thing and killed the rest of the monsters.
At this time, the Snake Spirit was still being attacked by the three monsters. However, it was fighting in the air, so the monsters couldn't gain the upper hand.
It was also very difficult for the Snake Spirit to kill them. The two sides were in a deadlock, and it was hard to determine the winner.
After I recovered, I joined the battle with Tong Tong. After a quarter of an hour, the last few monsters were killed by our joint efforts.
I looked at the position of the monster leader, but I didn't see him. I didn't know when he had run away.
