Chapter 249 The Witch's Temptation (Two in One)

The spring breeze blows and the war drums beat!

They are all demon cultivators, who is afraid of whom?

Li Xiuchang was surrounded by black energy, which was the conversion of diamond mana into charcoal mana.

Motu was also surrounded by ghosts, and countless ghosts surrounded him, making bursts of ghost cries and wolf howls.

Although the two of them are new recruits, they have shown peak Qi training skills in the cannon fodder team and are already considered strong among the cannon fodder.

Standing among a group of demonic cultivators, his painting style is also very harmonious, perfectly blending into the group.

The main reason is that the clothes are not uniform. Everyone else wears the same armor, but they wear their own clothes.

The team participating in this battle has hundreds of Qi training cannon fodder and three main foundation building players.

This made Brother Motu quite dissatisfied and kept muttering "too little".

Now I can only hope that the other side can send more people.

After all, it was a full-frontal battle on the border, and the place they were in was just an ordinary small battlefield, and the daily fighting was only on this scale.

"rush!"

As the leading foundation-building general led the charge, Li Xiuchang and other Qi-training cannon fodder also pressed towards the frontline battlefield.

They saw gusts of dark wind ahead, and countless ghosts rushing toward them.

From the names of the Flame Blood Demon Sect and the Emperor Soul Sect, you can tell that one is the inheritance of the Blood Demon Way and the other is the inheritance of the Soul Demon Way.

Although there are all kinds of demon cultivators in both territories, the majority of the Flame-Blood Demon Sect camp is composed of blood demon cultivators, while the majority of the Emperor Soul Sect camp is composed of soul demon cultivators.

It is also a tradition of the soul demon cultivator to use the ghost to clear the way first.

Rely on the ghost charge to first deplete the enemy's combat power. This tactic has been tried and tested time and time again.

The Blood Demon Cultivator has always had no good way to deal with this. They can only enter a defensive state first to withstand the first wave of ghost attacks.

Half of the Soul Demon's ability to cultivate a body lies in the Yin Hun. As long as they can withstand the Yin Hun's attack, it is best to take the opportunity to destroy a group of Yin Hun. They will take the initiative in the subsequent battles.

Although Li Xiuchang and the others were mainly blood demon cultivators, there were also a dozen soul demon cultivators. At this time, they all released their ghosts to protect themselves.

Senior Brother Motu was surrounded by a dense circle of ghosts, stacked together to form a black barrier. It was impossible to count how many there were, all of them were first-order ghosts.

Li Xiuchang didn't release even a ghost.

Because what he brought here this time was only a dozen ghosts from the Paw Team and the three giant ghosts.

They are all too highly cultivated, and their secrets will be exposed as soon as they are released.

But that's okay.

Seeing the ghosts coming from the opposite side, Li Xiuchang took out the gourd weapon and started to capture the ghosts.

As a third-level soul master, facing these first-level ghosts, he could easily capture them by force and stuff them into the gourd magic weapon.

Many of the ghosts driven by the soul demon cultivators have turned into ghosts.

Li Xiuchang accepted the order.

The surrounding demon cultivator teammates were struggling to withstand the impact of the ghosts, but they found that the number of ghosts around them decreased sharply.

In the blink of an eye, only a few dozen ghosts were left.

what happened?

Li Xiuchang's teammates were dumbfounded. They looked around and found Li Xiuchang holding the gourd weapon.

All the demon cultivators had expressions of surprise and uncertainty. They didn't expect this new soldier to have such a skill!

The three foundation-building generals in front couldn't help but look back.

As foundation-building monks, they understand that even soul demon cultivators in the foundation-building stage can hardly forcibly seize the ghosts controlled by other soul demon cultivators in the qi-training stage.

It can only be said that Li Xiuchang has attainments in soul control that far exceed his cultivation level.

To put it simply, he has a unique skill!

At this moment, the Huangji Soul Sect team who had not shown up on the opposite side was also panicking.

They had no idea what was going on. Why did the hundreds of ghosts they just sent out lose contact in the blink of an eye?

At this time, the cannon fodder who practiced Qi and cultivated their skills already wanted to retreat.

As a soul demon cultivator, he lost a large number of ghost souls before the fight even started. What a ghost! Isn’t it just a matter of death?

However, the foundation-building monk supervising the battle from behind ordered coldly: "Go up!"

The demon cultivator cannon fodder in the Huangji Soul Sect camp did not dare to disobey military orders. If they charged forward, they would not necessarily die. However, if they dared to disobey orders and retreat, or become deserters, they would definitely die.

"rush!"

The Emperor's Soul Sect's army shouted and rushed forward, but they were bumping into the Flame-Blooded Demon Sect's army which was charging forward with great morale.

"kill!"

Ringing bells, booming crackling, popping popping...

The two armies fought with great excitement.

But in reality, they all stood their ground and threw magical weapons and spells from a distance.

Close combat is risky and can easily kill people.

No one is stupid, no one wants to step forward and die.

This was also the case in every battle in the past. The two sides would engage in long-range bombardment first. Only when one side suffered a large loss of personnel and the other side thought it had the upper hand would it take the initiative to approach.

Li Xiuchang couldn't stand the slow pace, so he raised his hand and let out a burst of black smoke, blowing it towards the opposite side.

This black smoke was released after being diluted by Li Xiuchang's magic power, and its power was much weakened. However, for the hundreds of qi-training demon cultivators on the opposite side, even though it was not fatal, it could still cause a lot of interference.

There are also some people who are directly poisoned without any precautions. They feel dizzy and sleepy.

Someone reacted quickly and activated the strong wind, blowing the poisonous smoke back toward Li Xiuchang and the others.

Li Xiuchen was overjoyed. He was worried about how he could attack his teammates righteously, but now the Emperor's Soul Sect's army on the opposite side was a big help.

He quickly increased the amount of poisonous smoke and blew more poisonous smoke towards the enemy camp.

The other side blew back more poisonous smoke, covering Li Xiuchang's teammates.

For a moment, there were shouts and curses around Li Xiuchang, and many people were hit...

Others stirred up strong winds to blow the poisonous smoke back.

So the two sides blew against each other, blowing the poisonous smoke back and forth.

Some of those with weak cultivation and lack of defense finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground dizzy.

Li Xiuchang suspected that if things continued like this, both sides would first eliminate a group of the weakest cultivators, who would be the first to be unable to resist the invasion of the poisonous smoke and faint from poisoning.

But there were still a group of people with stronger cultivation or those who had means to avoid poison, and they were not afraid of the diluted poisonous smoke.

We had to find a way to break this deadlock.

At this time, a man covered in black came out of the crowd and rushed towards the opposite Huangji Soul Sect team.

"Who is this person, so brave?"

"It's the new recruit!"

It turned out that Senior Brother Motu took action.

There were at least thousands of ghosts protecting him, making him look like a demon king crawling out of the underworld.

Motu's action forced the three foundation-building generals on their side to take action.

The three foundation-building generals were still casting spells in front, but their soldiers were charging into the enemy camp alone. What kind of talk is this?

If they don't take action now, they will be held accountable after the war.

The three foundation-building generals were forced to follow Motu's pace and rushed up to entangle the three foundation-building demon cultivators in the enemy camp.

I don't know if the two sides had agreed, but the troops and strength they sent out were actually similar.

This time, the long-range bombardment between the two sides was finally ended in advance. Seeing that their own foundation-building generals had already fought with real swords and guns, and the foundation-building generals kept sending voice calls, they had to keep up.

The two sides fought in a mess.

Li Xiuchang and Motu had room to play.

In the bombardment between the two sides, they didn't have much room to play, and using extremely powerful means would be easily seen.

Li Xiuchang and Motu had agreed that they didn't come up and frantically slaughter the demon cultivators of the opposite Huangji Soul Sect.

On the contrary, the two wandered around the fighting teams, shuttling back and forth like loaches, but they didn't kill anyone.

If they killed all the opposing demon cultivators, who would kill their teammates?

It was not easy for them to attack their teammates directly.

The two quickly broke through to the rear of the enemy formation, and with their knives in hand, they specifically harvested those demon cultivators who had just fainted from the poisonous smoke.

Kill those who have no fighting power first.

Let those who have fighting power live a little longer so that they can kill more teammates.

After killing all the demon cultivators who fainted and had no power to resist, Li Xiuchang and Motu turned around and began to look for new targets.

They found that there were many "fishing" in both teams.

They had no intention of killing the enemy, and they were mainly protecting themselves, wandering around the edge of the battlefield, and had no ambition at all.

What's the point of keeping such soy sauce?

Kill!

Li Xiuchang and the others rushed into the battle formation again, specifically killing those hostile demon cultivators who were fishing.

The two suppressed their cultivation to the Qi training stage and did not use any means beyond the Qi training stage, but even so, how could those demon cultivators be their opponents?

Li Xiuchang had a big machete in his hand, and he used it as a kitchen knife, killing these demon cultivators was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

However, the two deliberately controlled the rhythm and slowly cleaned up those hostile demon cultivators who were slacking off.

Sometimes they would seemingly force those slacking demon cultivators into danger unintentionally, such as bumping them into the encirclement of the soldiers of the Flame Blood Demon Sect, forcing these slacking demon cultivators to use their trump cards and kill people.

In this way, with the assistance of Li Xiuchang and the others, the slacking demon cultivators were forced to go deep into the battle and died, but several of them also exchanged the lives of several Flame Blood Demon Sect soldiers before they died.

Finally, as time went on, the Flame Blood Demon Sect's victory became more and more obvious.

At the beginning, Li Xiuchang collected a large number of souls from the soldiers of the Royal Soul Sect, which led to a decline in their combat power. In addition, Li Xiuchang and Motu continued to reduce the number of people in the Royal Soul Sect camp.

Gradually, the number of soldiers in the Royal Soul Sect has been significantly less than that of the Flame Blood Demon Sect.

Li Xiuchang and Motu looked at each other and knew that it was time.

Now it was their turn to start a killing spree.

Otherwise, the demon cultivators of the Royal Soul Sect would either retreat or be killed by their teammates.

"Kill more reasonably." Motu reminded Li Xiuchang through voice transmission.

"How to be reasonable?" Li Xiuchang asked.

The two of them had been killing the enemy slowly beside them, and now suddenly broke out and killed a lot of people. It was unreasonable no matter how you looked at it.

"Breakthrough on the battlefield!"

Motu's words woke Li Xiuchang up.

His eyes lit up and he praised: "Good idea!"

At this time, the soldiers of the Royal Soul Sect also knew that the situation was over, and began to tighten the formation and slowly retreat.

This was a plan to retreat.

The Yuanying general who was supervising the battle on the other side did not stop them.

That was enough. Knowing that they would die, they still insisted that the soldiers were not allowed to retreat, which would only arouse rebellion.

The soldiers of the Yanxue Demon Sect were unwilling to let them go and continued to pursue.

At this time, the most enthusiastic pursuers were Li Xiuchang and Motu.

They seemed to have forgotten their own safety, chasing relentlessly, and constantly killing the last soldiers of the other side, with unparalleled bravery.

Even the Yuanying general who was supervising the battle was attracted by the performance of the two, and called his men to ask: "What are the origins of those two people?"

"General, they are new recruits just sent by the Earth Demon Sect, one is Mosha and the other is Pang Yuanfu."

"Earth Demon Sect?" The Yuanying general thought for a moment, then recalled the small sect in the corner, and said thoughtfully, "These two people are promising talents."

"It is an honor for them to be appreciated by the general."

As the two were talking, they heard exclamations from the front line, and strong spiritual energy fluctuations came from the front!

General Yuanying couldn't help but look sideways, and saw that Li Xiuchang and Motu were full of demonic energy, and their momentum was rising rapidly!

The surrounding spiritual energy rushed into the two people's bodies frantically.

"This is... a breakthrough in foundation building!" General Yuanying said in surprise.

"It actually broke through in battle!"

All those who saw this scene couldn't help showing shock.

Some enlightenment in battle, breakthrough in battle, this matter is often heard in various legends and stories, but in reality, it is the first time they have seen it!

But there is indeed such a possibility.

Especially for magic cultivators, this possibility is greater, because the cultivation and breakthrough of magic cultivators mainly rely on refining souls and devouring blood.

The magic cultivators make rapid progress in the early stage, and as long as there are resources, they can improve rapidly.

This is also the charm of the magic.

In battle and killing, it is theoretically possible to continuously devour accumulation and complete breakthroughs.

But it is still very rare.

And it is even rarer to see two of them at once!

Li Xiuchang and Motu don't care about so much, we just broke through!

Don't care whether it is reasonable or not, what is in front of you is the fact.

If you can't see the flaw, then existence is reasonable.

The two successfully "broke through" to the foundation building stage, and immediately showed their power, rushed up to catch up with the fleeing Huangji Soul Sect demon cultivators, and launched a one-sided massacre!

Two foundation building people slaughtered a group of Qi training people, isn't that very reasonable?

In a few seconds, the two of them cleared all the fleeing Huangji Soul Sect demon cultivators.

The corpses were everywhere, and the two quickly looted all the spoils, and then saw ghosts emerging from these corpses.

Li Xiuchang took out the gourd magic weapon and collected all the ghosts.

When he turned around, he saw some ghosts floating behind him, some of them were enemies, and some were teammates.

Li Xiuchang also collected them.

It seems that there is no rule that says you can't collect teammates' ghosts.

The cannon fodder teammates who had just stood with Li Xiuchang and the others, now faced Li Xiuchang and the others, their attitudes were completely different, becoming respectful and fearful.

Foundation-building cultivators were already two different classes from them.

Once the two were promoted to officers, they would have the power to decide their life and death.

Li Xiuchang and Motu were not satisfied with this.

The two of them killed more than a hundred demon cultivators, both directly and indirectly.

They were all small minions in the Qi training period.

Not satisfied!

The two set their sights on the remaining three foundation-building demon cultivators on the opposite side.

After the battle started, the battlefield was automatically divided into two parts, with the Qi training demon cultivators fighting each other, and the six foundation-building demon cultivators fighting in a separate area.

Seeing that all their cannon fodders were dead, the three foundation-building generals of the Huangji Soul Sect had no intention of fighting again and had already begun to retreat.

But Li Xiuchang and Motu had already targeted three people, so how could they let them go?

The two of them surrounded them from the rear.

Li Xiuchang even shouted to the three foundation-building generals of his own camp: "Three generals, let's work together to keep these three bastards!"

The three foundation-building generals of the Flame Blood Demon Sect looked at each other and were also moved.

Five against three, there is indeed a chance to kill three people!

Even if they can't kill them all, at least one or two can be kept!

This is all military merit!

"Where are the bastards running!"

"I'll kill you!"

The three foundation-building generals chased the three people who fled like chicken blood.

Soon, Li Xiuchang and the other two joined forces with the three foundation-building generals of the Flame Blood Demon Sect to surround the three foundation-building generals of the Royal Soul Sect.

After a fierce fight, Li Xiuchang and Motu were fearless and adopted the "injury for injury" fighting method to kill three hostile foundation-building generals!

Cheers and applause rang out on the battlefield.

Li Xiuchang collected the floating ghosts with an expressionless face, and checked the spoils of the three foundation-building demon cultivators. He collected all the ghosts on the three people, and the remaining pile of rags that he didn't care about at all, took them out and shared them with others.

The three foundation-building demon cultivators in the same camp saw that Li Xiuchang had taken all the ghosts for himself, but they didn't say anything.

They were all blood demon cultivators, and the ghosts were of no use to them. In addition, Li Xiuchang and Motu did the most in the battle just now. In addition, the two had already been promoted to foundation building, so they didn't want to offend them.

Motu killed three more foundation-building demon cultivators, but he still felt unsatisfied and wanted to kill all these teammates.

But for the sake of the overall situation, he couldn't do that. He couldn't help but look at the Yuanying demon cultivator who was supervising the battle on the side of the Huangji Soul Sect from a distance.

Li Xiuchang saw that Brother Motu was thinking about the Nascent Soul General on the opposite side again, and hurriedly advised:

"Brother Mo, please bear with it! We didn't come to the border battlefield to kill the demon cultivators. Our goal is to accumulate military merits and enter the Flame Blood Demon Sect to get intelligence!

"Besides, there is a long way to go. This is only our first day at the border battlefield. There will be plenty of opportunities to kill demon cultivators in the future!"

Motu nodded slightly: "What you said makes sense. This time we helped the Flame Blood Demon Sect win a great victory. In order to balance, the Imperial Soul Sect will definitely send a stronger force next time. We will kill them then."

The essence of the battle between the two sides is the exchange of resources.

Like the battle just now, the Flame Blood Demon Sect won a great victory, and the Imperial Soul Sect was equivalent to giving heads to the opponent for free. This is not called resource exchange, but it has become a free resource.

So the next time the war starts, the Imperial Soul Sect will most likely increase its combat power and win back the losses this time.

Even the Flame Blood Demon Sect will cooperate.

For example, sending some cannon fodder to die for the Emperor Soul Sect to kill.

Only by "reciprocating courtesy" between the two parties can this cooperation last long.

Li Xiuchang suspected that General Yuanying, who was supervising the battle on both sides, should be from the Flame Blood Demon Sect and the Emperor's Soul Sect.

They are in charge of a battlefield and should know the true purpose of the existence of the border battlefield.

That's why they deliberately send some cannon fodder to die on the battlefield.

For example, at the beginning of this battle, Li Xiuchang snatched a large number of ghosts from the opposite side, but the general supervising the battle from the Huangji Soul Sect still ordered the soldiers to attack.

Under normal circumstances, if you lose at the beginning and know that you will lose, you should retreat temporarily and adjust your state before fighting again.

Li Xiuchang and the others ordered their troops to retreat.

On the opposite side, the Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivator who was supervising the battle just shuddered and felt surprised.

However, he didn't take this matter too seriously, and he didn't even care much about the big defeat just now.

At this moment, a subordinate came forward: "General Duan, there is news from the Holy Sect."

The subordinate presented a transmission note.

General Duan picked up the communication talisman and waved his men away.

The talisman spontaneously ignited without wind in his hand and burned to ashes.

General Duan, however, looked thoughtful and said to himself: "Elder Xi's beloved grandson wants to choose a battlefield to refine souls and form pills? I just suffered a big defeat here, wouldn't it be just right?

"In the next battle, ask the Flame-Blooded Demon Sect to send more soul materials. At worst, I will owe them some, and I will make up for it later.

"After this matter is done, if I can get the appreciation of Elder Xi, I believe that I can be transferred back to the sect from this small battlefield soon. If not, I can be transferred to a larger battlefield. There will be more oil and water than here!"

General Duan immediately took out a communication note and sent a message back to the Emperor Soul Sect to accept this good job.

Li Xiuchang and Motu returned to the military camp and immediately enjoyed completely different treatment from before.

Not only did he have an independent military tent, he also had a witch concubine in the tent.

In this battle, both of them received a lot of military honors.

However, the two of them looked down upon this petty profit at all.

For Li Xiuchang, the biggest gain is the large number of ghosts!

In this battle, he collected five to six hundred ghosts, but most of them were evil ghosts, and there were not many normal ghosts.

Among these few normal ghosts, the ghosts of demonic cultivators who harbor hatred for him must also be eliminated, and the number of ghosts who can be recruited as employees to work for him is even smaller.

But it doesn't matter, even evil ghosts can be used as feed to feed other ghosts.

Li Xiuchang was resting in the tent. The concubine assigned to him was a female demon cultivator with Qi refining skills. She seemed to be practicing the Demonic Way of Desire. Every move, every frown and every smile was charming.

The witch concubine looks like a girl, but her figure exudes the charm of a mature woman.

"General, he must be tired when he returns from the war. I will give you a shoulder rub," the witch said with a smile.

Li Xiuchang thought for a while, after practicing for so many years, why can't he enjoy it once?

So he nodded and agreed.

The witch came forward, put her soft, boneless hands on Li Xiuchang's shoulders, and kneaded them gently.

Don't tell me, it's really comfortable!

Li Xiuchang relaxed his body and mind, feeling very comfortable, and thought about how he could enjoy this kind of service for a long time.

When I get back, I'll find someone to make a puppet that can massage, beat legs, and pinch shoulders... Li Xiuchang feels like he's really a genius.

When this massage puppet is produced and sold through the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce, it may be another hot-selling special product!

At this moment, he suddenly felt a soft touch on his back.

Li Xiuchang's body tensed up. He said he was just massaging his shoulders. What did this woman want to do?

There are so many beautiful fairies in the sect who are pure and pure, but they haven’t gotten me. How can I let you, a little witch, get your wish?

Li Xiuchang was planning to fight off the witch in a few seconds, when suddenly a cannon-fodder demon cultivator came in and reported: "General, General Wu has summoned us!"

As he said that, the cannon fodder demon cultivator glanced at the witch behind Li Xiuchang, with envy in his eyes.

Li Xiuchang is not a general. This is just the honorific title given to the foundation-building monks by the Qi-training monks in the army.

He stood up and took the opportunity to get rid of the witch's shackles, walked out of the military tent, met with Brother Motu, and went to see General Wu who was in the Nascent Soul stage.

General Wu is the person in charge of the military camp here, and the two suspect that the other party may be a disciple of the Flame-Blooded Demon Sect.

Li Xiuchang was discussing with Senior Brother Motu along the way whether to control General Wu and search for his soul or something.
