Chapter 741: Chapter 741

Mi Lu suddenly realized this point, and a chill engulfed his spine.

He discovered that today’s rebellion led by Manxie wasn’t just a case of shooting oneself in the foot.

On the contrary, it gradually peeled away his hidden cards, and the biggest beneficiary turned out to be the Demon Lord, who no longer had any concerns about the battle for imperial power.

She shouldn’t think even for a moment!

Standing on the city wall, Mi Lu gave an order, and the robust and vigorous sound of a horn rose against the wind; he took the lead, commanding three thousand troops from the city to formally kick off the war.

Although Mi Lu’s body was deformed and frail as he stood before the heavy troops, devoid of any imposing aura, he was ultimately the Young Lord of the Demon Clan. When he drew his sword, the morale of the Imperial City’s Demon Generals surged, readying themselves on all four sides.

Outside the Xuantie city walls below the Imperial City, a massive army like a black tide used the technique of human walls to violently crash against the city walls. Manxie swung their heavy hammers fiercely to smash the gates, the rumbling sound resembling battle drums.

The Manxies following closely behind moved agilely, unbelievably so. Even carrying huge hammers didn’t affect their speed at all.

They leaped high into the air, using each other’s shoulders, regardless of the Four Seasons Absolute Kill Formation on the city walls that shaved off their flesh and skin.

For a moment, the scene of flesh and blood plasma chaotically dancing in a vivid crimson was extraordinarily gruesome, rendering the battlefield’s cruelty in full.

Mi Lu looked down at the group of Manxies, fighting without fear of death, like fish being sliced open. The formation on the walls swept over them, exposing their bony bodies stripped of flesh almost instantly.

He revealed a cruel and smug smile, "Overestimating yourselves!"

However, those Manxies who leaped onto the city walls and were severely injured by the formation showed astonishing life force, not falling down as a result.

They rotated their hammers, nailing their comrades into the wall alongside them.

The bodies of the Manxies have always been as hard as iron and blades, resistant to fire and decay. When their hammers struck fiercely, even their palms and arms reduced to bare bones could break through the thick walls forged of strange iron.

The city walls of the Demon World were extremely thick and deep. Even with bones driven into the wall, it was hard to shake its foundation, but those stark white bones hanging firmly on the wall actually turned into a ghastly ladder for the enemy to climb.

Those Manxies that followed climbed on their comrades’ white bones and corpses to charge forward, nearly covering more than half of the hundred-meter-tall city wall with a black tide.

Such a crazily brutal scene, even Mi Lu couldn’t help but feel terrified and tremble.

After he came back to his senses, covered in cold sweat, he shouted anxiously and furiously, "Bring forth the Immortal of Colossal Spirit Battle Axe!"

Soon, a huge stone lion statue was brought to the city top, and the moment the statue was pushed forward, the entire city wall emitted a rustling, heavy tremor.

The thick dust accumulated over the years in the iron walls and barriers seemed to be under immense pressure, bursting out from the crevices.

Pushing the statue required eight Demon Generals, who appeared to be struggling considerably.

Beneath the lion’s mouth was a giant stone axe, twenty meters long and two palm-widths thick. The edges of the axe seemed worn from the years, showing ancient yellow traces, with the natural carved patterns of the Immortal of Colossal Spirit demon on its surface.

At the moment it was pushed forward, one could faintly see the Wildfire Thunder twisting and bursting out from those patterns.

Mi Lu looked painfully at the battle axe, helplessly advancing, his hand brushing against the heavy blade to draw a fresh, long trail of blood.

The stone lion clasping the giant axe suddenly seemed to be endowed with a sort of spirit, the Obsidian inlaid eyes rotating slightly; the giant axe under its mouth shed its top layer of stone, revealing a red-golden body and a bright blue edge.

The stone lion walked on its own, dragging heavy steps to the top of the wall. With a ferocious roar, a giant battle axe emerged, connected by a chain.

The Immortal Battle Axe chopped straight down, stirring up a Gale, and the surging sea of wind seemed to be torn apart by a divine hand; every inch of wind it crossed cut through muscles and bones.

The climbing Manxie army below was crushed like tofu; whether it was the swarming army or the stark white bones nailed to the walls, they were instantly cleared away by one sweep of the axe.

"HAHAHA!!!" Mi Lu burst into wild laughter, his voice filled with ferocious energy, "Petty people, daring to be presumptuous!"

The cold and heavy Immortal Battle Axe fell to the ground; cracks spread like spider webs, and the momentum of the axe blade stirred up countless thunder and fire, burning all surviving climbing Manxies into a flame.

The previously rampaging Manxie army finally ceased to advance and arranged their formation, standing densely three miles outside the city.

Mi Lu’s forehead was gradually cooled by the wind as he looked at the pressing army from all sides, feeling heavy-hearted.

Although the Immortal Battle Axe was formidable, it was not something that could be used for a long time on the battlefield. Once the blade turned to stone, reactivation would require another expenditure of his Demon Blood.

Now with his wings damaged and spine broken, he could ill afford such consumption.

However, before he could devise a complete strategy for retreat, the Manxie army under the thick sand suddenly split into two orderly sections, and a figure riding a barbaric giant beast slowly emerged from within the army.

Recognizing the contour of that person, Mi Lu couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his eye viciously, grinding his teeth as he spoke, "Sikong Xuan!"

This man was once one of his most trusted aides during his prime, along with Qi Ren, a key figure in his command.

It was this man who had taken over the important task of borrowing the Spirit Root when heading to Immortal Island to meet with the Guyin Crown Prince that year.
