Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

Just as in the center of the Eight Desolate Cultivation World, the Marshal who commanded all the armies and the deputy chief military advisor were deeply shocked by the strange phenomenon caused by Cao Geng.

At this moment, outside Huailing Immortal City.

The Immortal Guard Army, led by Chu Yunfei, commander of the 358th Legion of the Immortal Guard, is launching a full-scale offensive against the demon defenders entrenched in Huailing Immortal City.

When the Immortal Guard army besieged Huailing Immortal City, the Third Legion led by Cao Geng had not yet arrived at Ping'an Immortal Realm.

After Cao Geng and his Third Legion conquered Ping'an Fairyland.

The Immortal Guards are still in a standoff with the Demon Guards on the periphery...

It's really a helpless move.

In Huailing Immortal City, the cultivation resources that the demons had previously sent in were simply too huge.

Even now, the demon garrison in Huailing Fairy City only has the strength of a legion left.

However, the Immortal Guard Army was still unable to break through the defense line of Huailing Immortal City in a short period of time.

Even if the delay continues, the demon reinforcements from Huailing Fairy City will arrive.

For the Immortal Guard Army, the battle situation here will become extremely severe.

"Hateful..." Chu Yunfei gritted his teeth, anger flashing in his eyes.

The battle lasted for nearly seven days and nights, and the Immortal Guard Army was already showing signs of fatigue.

Chu Yunfei knew very well that if he failed to capture Huailing Immortal City as soon as possible, when the demon army gathered in the future, they would either launch a large-scale cleanup of the entire Northern Immortal Realm, or directly carry out a retaliatory attack against the Immortal Guard Army.

This will pose a huge dilemma for the Immortal Guards.

"Captain, what should we do next?"

Next to Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong, whose face was covered in dust, eyes were bloodshot and his appearance was haggard, asked.

Chu Yunfei sighed:

"The combat effectiveness of the demon army assembled in Huailing Immortal City this time is not greater than that of our Immortal Guards' attacking army."

"The key is that the demons have stored a large amount of cultivation resources inside Huailing Immortal City."

"Whenever our Immortal Guards launched a fierce attack on Huailing Immortal City, the demons in the city would always use their secret treasure attacks like a rainstorm to repel us."

"After seven days of hard fighting, the demon defenders in Huailing Immortal City suffered very few casualties, while our Immortal Guards have lost more than 4,000 cultivators!"

Originally, Chu Yunfei mobilized a large army to launch a strong attack on Huailing Immortal City, intending to conquer it in one go.

But he never expected that in this Huailing Fairy City, there was actually a huge reserve of cultivation resources for the demons.

Whenever they were about to capture Huailing Fairy City, the demons would always counterattack, forcing them to retreat and pay a heavy price.

Originally, Chu Yunfei was confident that he could easily win against a legion-sized demon garrison force.

But after learning that the demons had stockpiled such a huge amount of cultivation resources in Huailing Fairy City, he felt that everything he had carefully planned seemed to have been suppressed by the demons.

It's like a scholar encountering barbarians and being helpless.

No. 47

For Chu Yunfei, this battle was a painful and humiliating experience in his cultivation journey.

however,

Chu Yunfei was not lost in his thoughts. After rubbing his brows lightly, he took a deep breath and said:

"We will take a short break. In fifteen minutes, we will attack Huairong Immortal City again."

There is no other choice.

This time, the Jinsui Army monks under his command launched a full-scale attack on Huairong Immortal City with great momentum.

How could they retreat in disgrace after only seven hours of fierce fighting just because Huairong Immortal City had strong defenses?

This is definitely not the way Chu Yunfei practices combat.

Fight back when insulted, this is the fighting style of Chu Yunfei who leads his troops and overcomes all obstacles!

"As ordered!"

Fang Ligong also took a deep breath. As the chief strategist of the 358th Legion, he could no longer play the role of advisor on the battle situation that the 358th Legion was facing.

Now, he had no choice but to follow Chu Yunfei's instructions.

At this moment, a communication disciple came to Chu Yunfei holding a jade slip and handed over the message in it.

"Report to the regiment commander, an urgent message has been received from Ping'an Immortal City. It is reported that an hour ago, the Japanese garrison stationed in Ping'an Immortal City was completely wiped out by a team of Eighth Route Army monks. As for the specific number of this team, we don't know. We only know that its leader is named Cao Geng..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfei was shocked.

It turned out that they had set up spies in Ping'an Fairy City, so the news was quickly transmitted to Chu Yunfei's ears.

When Chu Yunfei heard the news brought by the communication disciple, his expression froze instantly.

"what?"

"Cao Geng actually led his troops to capture Ping'an Immortal City an hour ago?!"

Although the intelligence did not mention the number of the Eighth Route Army team that occupied Ping'an Immortal City, from the name of the team's leader, Chu Yunfei could easily guess that it was Cao Geng from the New 1st Regiment who led the team to accomplish this task.

After realizing all this,

In an instant, Chu Yunfei fell into confusion and shock.

It should be noted that just ten hours ago, Cao Geng had just blown up the Zhengtai spiritual vein and killed a group of observers consisting of hundreds of senior Japanese generals.

Chu Yunfei originally thought that

This was the greatest shock that the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment could cause today; he originally thought that this was the limit for Cao Geng's Third Battalion, and it also created powerful conditions for their Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's general attack on Huairongxian City.

But I never expected that

Just ten hours after losing contact with Cao Geng, he led his army directly to Ping'an Fairy City and captured it in one fell swoop!

For a moment, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but gasp.

He hardly knew how to react to what was happening.

You know, after the news of Cao Geng blowing up the Zhengtai spiritual vein spread, the Shanxi Suiyuan Army's monk troops also took quick action.

……

Including the time it took their Jinsui Army monk corps to gather here, plus the time they spent trying to break the formation and capture the city, a total of only ten hours passed in a flash.

However, within these ten hours, even though the main force of the Jinsui Army lost more than 4,000 disciples, they still failed to capture Huairong Immortal City.

On the other hand, Cao Geng's third camp, at the same time, not only quickly rushed to Ping'an Fairy City, but also successfully occupied it in a very short time.

Some people privately speculated, how many two thousand monks could there be in Cao Geng’s third camp?

Chu Yunfei couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.

It should be noted that the total number of Cao Geng's third camp was not even half of the main force of the Jinsui Army monks they lost within ten hours.

But how did Cao Geng manage to capture Ping'an Fairy City in just ten hours?

Chu Yunfei thought to himself that Cao Geng, the man he had missed, always did things that were beyond his comprehension.
