In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Chapter 635 Everyone must die

Seeing this, Deputy Commander Shui knew there was no turning back. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately changed his spell, retracting the golden light shield and riding the Illusion Mirror to become a golden ray of light, shooting off into the distance, intending to abandon the others and escape alone.

Wen Qizi and the other two were shocked to see this. While cursing, they each used their secret techniques to try to escape.

However, Lu Yuan would not do as they wished. Before the Zhenyuan Mace could fully absorb enough of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he forcibly commanded the four deputy commanders of Chaoshui to point at it.

The Zhenyuan Mace crashed down, its power enveloping everything within a radius of several hundred feet.

Inside, both the moth and the three Wen Qizi were crushed into dust by this terrifying power. Only the deputy commander Shui managed to escape thanks to the incredible speed of the Illusion Mirror and the fact that the power of the Zhenyuan Mace had not yet reached its limit. However, he dared not look back and wished he had more legs.

Upon seeing this, the crimson moth that Lu Yuan had transformed into calmly put away the Zhenyuan Mace, then with a flap of its wings, its body immediately disappeared in a blur.

The next moment, the deputy commander of the Water Corps, who was fleeing for his life, saw a flash of red light in front of him. Lu Yuan blocked his way and then suddenly moved his hind legs, shooting towards him.

The deputy commander was immediately alarmed and hurriedly summoned several demonic weapons, unleashing a dazzling slash.

But Lu Yuan simply flickered again, as if all the obstacles were nothing, and appeared directly within arm's reach of the Deputy Commander Shui as if he were an invisible body. He unleashed the Blood Sword and Demon Spear at the same time, and his forelimbs slashed down like sharp blades.

The Water Deputy Commander's pupils shrank suddenly, and his demonic energy surged wildly around him, causing the Illusion Mirror to suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light, as if a thick layer of armor was enveloping him.

Faced with Lu Yuan's sudden and fierce attack, even with the protection of the Illusion Mirror, Deputy Commander Shui was still shaken and sent flying backward, his body staggering and unsteady.

His eyes were filled with terror as he tried to use the Illusion Mirror to retaliate again, but he felt his internal magical power was in disarray and could not continue. At the same time, the Illusion Mirror suddenly dimmed, and many cracks appeared on it, emitting a hum that could not bear the weight.

Clearly, the Illusion Mirror had already sustained considerable damage in its previous clash with the Zhenyuan Mace.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, if you kill me, my ancestor will surely not let you off. If you spare me today, I swear by my inner demons that I will do everything in my power to serve you and will never dare to disobey you in the slightest again!" Deputy Commander Shui struggled to support his trembling body, his voice filled with pleading and panic, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

Upon hearing the plea of ​​the deputy commander, Lu Yuan actually stopped his attack and slowly retreated several dozen feet.

Deputy Commander Shui looked on in disbelief. Lu Yuan had actually let him go?

However, just as he was about to say a few words of thanks, he suddenly realized something, turned around abruptly, and saw a huge swarm of dark green beetles rushing towards him.

In just over ten breaths, the Water Deputy Commander's shrill screams began to echo in the void. He tried his best to wave the Illusion Mirror to drive away the swarm of insects, but with his magic power exhausted, his struggles were in vain. In the blink of an eye, he was devoured by the moths, and even his primordial spirit could not escape.

Lu Yuan watched this scene indifferently, and after lingering on the Illusion Mirror on the ground for a while, he ultimately did not put it away.

Next, Lu Yuan returned to his original form and, before the moths swarmed towards him, slowly and steadily sped towards the army.

At the very moment the Water Deputy Commander's primordial spirit was destroyed, in the Li Huo City, far away in the center of the battlefield, a young man who was leading a large number of elite demons in a charge suddenly stopped, his expression turning puzzled.

But when he summoned a shattered soul tablet, the confusion on his face instantly turned into rage.

"how come!"

"Impossible!" He suddenly looked up at the sea of ​​insects outside Lihuo City, his demonic energy surging uncontrollably, annihilating countless moths around him like flames.

"Water Venerable, what happened!" Not far away, a demon venerable covered in green fur hurriedly asked.

The young man's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "My grandson's primordial spirit has dissipated!"

Upon hearing this, the green-haired demon lord's expression changed drastically. He had a close relationship with the Water Lord and had heard a little about his grandson.

The Water Venerable spared no expense in pushing him to the late stage of the Demonic Sect. Later, in order to give this junior a chance to become a Demonic Lord, he even left his family and came to the Land of Origin.

Now that his grandson's primordial spirit has dissipated, the Water Venerable's reaction is understandable.

Before the green-haired Venerable could ask for more details, the Water Venerable had already rushed out of Li Huo City like a madman, his flames almost solidifying.

"Water Venerable, wait!" Upon seeing this, the green-haired Venerable rushed over and stopped the young man.

“Brother Green, before this battle, I entrusted the Illusionary Mirror to my grandson for self-defense. Even if the Demon Flame Army were completely wiped out, he could use this treasure to escape the swarm of insects. But now the Soul Tablet is broken, it must have been caused by someone secretly attacking him!” After saying this, the Water Venerable was about to step over the obstruction.

But the Green Venerable still blocked their path, saying solemnly, "Things have come to this point; even if you rush there now, it will be too late to change anything. Furthermore, our mission is to assist the two Holy Ancestors; leaving Li Huo City now would be tantamount to disobeying orders!"

Upon hearing this, the crimson in the Water Venerable's eyes diminished considerably.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and slowly lowered his clenched fists, his whole body trembling.

After a moment of silence, the Water Venerable gritted his teeth and turned around, looking into the depths of the sea of ​​insects with a complicated gaze. In the end, he stopped, and the surging demonic flames around him gradually subsided.

......

Inside the Demon Flame Army's encampment, the remaining twenty-odd demon generals were all filled with worry.

An hour ago, the legion's commander-in-chief, deputy commander, and three commanders all entered the insect swarm and have not returned.

Although the entire legion can barely withstand the insect swarm's onslaught with the full power of its formations, if this continues, the magic stones and materials it carries will eventually run out.

Just as everyone was feeling uneasy, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the distant sea of ​​insects.

"It's the President!"

"Why is he the only one who came back!" As the light drew near, the group of generals quickly recognized the figure within.

"Quickly activate the formation!" Lu Yuan said anxiously from within the escaping light.

No one dared to delay, and they quickly opened a passage within the formation to bring Lu Yuan in.

"Great Commander, where are the Deputy Commander of Water and the three Commanders?" a demon asked cautiously.

“Dead.” Lu Yuan replied coldly, his face grim.

These words immediately caused the expressions of the surrounding generals to change drastically. However, before they could ask any further questions, the entire legion suddenly erupted into chaos.

It turned out that as soon as Lu Yuan returned to the formation, a large number of dark green moths suddenly emerged from the sea of ​​insects.

These borers surged in like a tidal wave, frantically crashing against the protective light barrier.

The array's light flickered violently, and the pressure it was under suddenly increased several times compared to before.

"They're mid-level moths, how can there be so many!"

"Could it be that the Water Deputy Commander and the others were killed by these mid-level moths?!"

"Commander, what do we do now? With so many mid-level moths, we can't hold out for long!"

In an instant, almost everyone panicked.

"What else can be done?"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, and then suddenly launched an attack on the group of demon generals.

"Of course, it's death!"
