The Demon Army had already closed in from three sides, and due to the earlier unsuccessful assault, these demonic beasts were filled with pent-up anger.

Now, seeing some humans coming out to meet their deaths, they all bared their fangs and howled loudly.

Each great Demon King roared with anger, "Little ones, the Human Race is challenging us. Charge in and tear all these humans to pieces!"

The howls of wolves, tigers, and leopards filled the air.

In an instant, the demonic beasts, like a black tide, launched an attack on the Human Race, as if a sea was converging from all sides.

The demonic qi soared into the sky, startling the military supervisor’s warhorses, causing them to halt and neigh in fright.

The military supervisor, seeing the situation, shouted in fear, "Retreat, retreat back into the city!"

In this kind of formation, they dared not stay outside and immediately turned their horses’ heads to retreat back.

The Governor first saw these military supervisors return and angrily asked, "What are these supervisors doing?"

The Great General pointed into the distance and urgently shouted at the Governor, "Not good, the Demon Army has closed in on us!"

"What?"

The Governor picked up a monocular and looked into the distance, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, "What’s going on? Didn’t the Demon Army retreat earlier? Why are they back?"

The Great General’s gaze swept over the flanks, where demon soldiers were already charging in.

This was a black Leopard Demon Army, and a Wolf-headed Army, each the size of a wild bull.

They sped across the battlefield and in a flash arrived near the city gates.

The Great General anxiously shouted to the gate guards, "Quick, close the city gate, raise the drawbridge!"

A general hesitated, "The military supervisors haven’t returned yet!"

The Great General reprimanded, "At this point, there’s no time to worry about that; do it quickly."

The gate guard immediately followed orders, instructing his men to operate the mechanism, and the fifty-meter-wide massive city gate clanged shut.

Simultaneously, the thousand-meter-long drawbridge, under the operation of the Mo Family mechanism, split into two halves and was raised high.

A black panther demon leaped into the air, nearly jumping over to the other side of the broken bridge.

But due to slowing down, it crashed against the opposite bridge plank and fell with a splash into the river below.

The military supervisors were now less than a hundred meters from the city gate. The general yelled with a near tearful tone, "Quick, open the gate, let us in!"

The guard on the city wall shouted, "Demonic beasts are here; the Great General has ordered the gate closed. Quickly escape to the east gate and enter the city from there!"

The military supervisor shouted tearfully, "Brothers, let’s go!"

He dared not stay on the battlefield any longer, immediately turning his horse’s head towards the east.

But the demonic beasts from the east had already closed in, meeting them head-on.

These hungry demonic beasts were already eager to feast.

As soon as they met, they bared their fangs and pounced on the warhorses.

The lowest requirement to enlist in the Shu State Army was the Foundation Establishment Realm, while the military supervisors were elite, and all ten thousand men and horses were at the Core Formation Stage.

At this moment, they were compelled to grit their teeth and engage with the demonic beasts, hoping to carve out a safe path through the beast herd.

The two sides tangled in battle, with flesh and blood flying, cries of pain, and roars echoed throughout the day.

Seeing this, a Demon King jumped into the fray.

Though not as skilled as the Demon Emperor, these Demon Kings each looked somewhat human, some even wearing Daoist robes, with cultivation levels all above the Nascent Soul Realm.

As they arrived, their large blades rose, harvesting human heads among the military supervisors.

The military supervisor leaders were the first to be slain, their bodies falling to the ground, quickly devoured by the demonic beasts.

There were naturally masters stationed on the Shu State city walls.

However, Governor Wu Youren watched as the military supervisors fell, making no move to send out these masters, merely instructing them to hold their positions.

The elite force of over ten thousand supervisors quickly turned into a cloud of blood under the demonic beasts’ frenzied slaughter, rising into the sky.

The soldiers on the city wall were filled with fear, watching their fellow brethren being torn apart by the Demon Clan, swallowed one by one without sending any aid.

A timid soldier means a timid army.

With the leaders above showing no intention to rescue, why would the soldiers risk themselves, putting themselves in danger?

At the same time, five hundred thousand militia soldiers were also encircled by the demonic beasts.

Like a small boat in a whirlpool, they wobbled, seemingly about to be swallowed by this demonic beast army.

The militia leaders wielded command banners, directing the soldiers inside to continuously change formations.

The Eight Trigrams Array, layer upon layer.

The demonic beasts that broke in would quickly face twice the number of militia soldiers coming to kill them.

The two sides fell into chaotic combat, killing each other, with only a blood-red scene and the piercing sound of slaughter.

After finishing off the military supervisors, the demonic beasts turned to assault the Eight Trigrams Array.

Their numbers and impact grew larger.

With a Demon King’s help, a breach was torn in the Eight Trigrams Array, allowing the demonic beasts to swarm in through the opening.

As the militia’s Eight Trigrams Array was about to fall, the leaders had given up hope of survival. One by one, they picked up broad swords, roaring to their soldiers, "A real man dies if he must. Killing one is breaking even, killing two is making a profit; let’s fight the monsters to the end!"

"Fight to the end!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"..."

The militia’s morale soared. The entire Eight Trigrams Array, battered and torn by the demonic beasts, saw its members directly confronting the beasts, wielding their broad swords and long spears, fighting fervently.

But the quality of the broad swords was too poor; a single strike on a demonic beast’s head could snap it in two.

A demonic beast bit down, gripping the soldier’s half-arm in its jaws.

The soldier roared, "If not for this broken sword, I’d have chopped your head off, grandpa!"

The bloodthirsty battle enveloped the entire field, casting the already crimson sunset in an even more blood-red shade.

Rumble, rumble!

Rumble, rumble!

A sudden sound of muffled thunder echoed in the void, clouds churned, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and the wind swept wildly as if a storm was approaching.

The people and Demon Clan looked up in astonishment.

They saw an Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Kylin.

Five massive Dharma Laksana, each about ten meters tall, descended from the sky, emanating divine beast pressure as they crashed into the Slaughter Formation.

The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise each guarded a side.

The Kylin sat in the center, forming a Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Formation with the Eight Trigrams Array.

The previously battered and dispersed formation instantly solidified with the help of these five divine beasts.

They opened their huge mouths and began devouring.

The Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, conjuring waves of fire like ocean waves, burning the surrounding demonic beasts into ashes.

The Kylin cleaned up the demon soldiers that rushed into the formation, swallowing them one by one with a mere roar.

A Demon King shouted in terror, "Where did these divine beasts come from?"

With a cultivation level at the Soul Ascension Stage, the large blade in its hand trembled.

Facing the Kylin, it summoned the courage to strike.

The Kylin didn’t even glance at it; with a roar that sounded like thunder, the Demon King’s body exploded into a blood mist, and the Kylin swallowed it clean with a single gulp.
