441: Chapter 441 Demigod Invasion

Old Qin was a veteran Prefecture Soldier who had served for forty years.

During his forty years of service, he only did two things.

Before dawn every day, he opened the city gates; after late night, he closed the city gates.

At this moment.

As usual, he came to the control room to open the city gates.

The East Gate of Luo Jiang Prefecture City was composed of seven doors. Old Qin needed to open each door one by one in a specific order to raise all of them.

And the order was different every day.

The reason he had been able to guard the city gates for so many years was that he had never missed a beat, nor had he ever delayed the punctual rising of the East Gate.

When all the doors were raised, looking out from inside the city, the wide and straight road was empty, save for a little dust.

It was better that there was nothing.

This meant that everything was normal.

Just as Old Qin stood up, preparing to go make a cup of tea.

"Woo— Buzz—"

"Woo— Buzz—!!"

The siren, rising wave upon wave, shrouded Luo Jiang Prefecture like the Grim Reaper.

Old Qin's heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand.

His body froze.

His pupils contracted sharply.

The next moment.

His Wristband automatically popped up a virtual window.

"Alarm!"

"Alarm!"

"Alarm!"

"Black... black?"

Old Qin felt dizzy and almost fell. This black alarm had only been added to the Prefecture Soldier System half a year ago, and he had participated in training for it many times over the past six months.

The black alarm was a key point that was tested every single time.

This was specifically set up for Yao Race invasions, and furthermore, it would only appear in black when a Yao Race of Demigod rank entered Blue Star.

Otherwise.

His alarm would be red, just like everyone else's.

"Close the city!"

"Right! Close the city!!"

Old Qin reacted immediately, following the memory he had rehearsed countless times in his mind, and began to close the city gates.

However, his extended fingers kept trembling, unable to press the buttons accurately.

"Damn it!"

Old Qin bit down hard on the tip of his tongue, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. The pain made him temporarily forget everything else, leaving only that string of numbers in his mind.

He pressed the buttons one by one, accurately and without error.

Through the monitor.

Seeing the city gates, which had only been raised a minute ago, fall back down, Old Qin collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

...

"Dong dong—"

"Dong—dong—"

"Woo-ang~~"

Base No. 7, on the city wall.

The Demon Suppressing Army soldiers blew their horns.

The on-duty general shouted loudly: "Yao Race invasion, assemble! Activate the defense formation!"

This time.

There was actually a hint of trembling in the general's voice.

Swish~~ swish~~~

Dozens of figures appeared on the city wall. Looking closely, it was not hard to see that every single one of them was an Eighth Realm Expert.

Everyone looked ahead.

Their eyes were fixed tightly on those three towering figures.

Even from a dozen kilometers away, they could clearly see the full view of the giant figures, because they were simply too enormous, with heights exceeding three hundred zhang.

They were twice as tall as the city wall beneath their feet.

"This pressure..."

"Is it a Demigod?"

Ren Yiming's voice was full of solemnity, even bordering on despair.

Great Xia had always been preparing for the day a Yao Race Demigod would enter Blue Star.

However, he had not expected this day to come so quickly. What was important was that three Yao Race Demigods were invading at once.

"Minister Ren."

"Have the people been notified?" General Qin Shouyi asked.

"Yes, everyone has been notified. There are 39 Eighth Realm Experts in total, and due to the recent Azure Dragon Island incident, nearly a hundred Eighth Realm Experts were gathered near Luo Jiang Academy, so they have all been notified as well."

"Those people? Will they still come if they know a Demigod is invading?" General Qin Shouyi frowned. He wasn't even sure if those in the Prefecture City would come to support.

Let alone those Eighth Realm Experts gathered because of the Azure Dragon Island incident.

"If they don't come, then from now on, Azure Dragon Island will have nothing to do with them," Ren Yiming said coldly.

Three Demigods. Ren Yiming did not believe they couldn't stop them. Even if it meant filling the gap with human lives, he would slay the three Yao Race Demigods today.

He would use blood to tell the Yao Race that if they wanted to occupy Great Xia, there was no way.

Demon Realm Entrance.

The Yao Race, covering the sky and the earth, poured in continuously. Their bodies, over ten meters tall, their huge scarlet beast eyes, and their roars that shook the heavens and the earth, all stimulated people's nerves.

The scale of this Yao Race invasion was larger than any previous one. There were all kinds of Yao Race, from birds and beasts to others.

Suddenly.

The three massive bodies moved.

They flew rapidly toward Base No. 7.

"Careful!"

"Prepare to face the enemy."

The three Demigods shrank their bodies until they were fifty meters tall, stopping at a distance of one thousand meters.

The powerful pressure made all the Powerhouses feel alarmed.

"Huang Qi, of the Underworld Tiger Race."

The Tiger Race Demigod in the middle of the three Demigods spoke.

"Who among you is in charge? Step forward and speak."

Upon hearing this.

Ren Yiming was about to step forward, but was stopped by General Qin Shouyi. He did not want Ren Yiming to take the risk.

His divine body had suffered fundamental damage; even if he died, it would be no great loss.

This old general, who had guarded the Demon Realm Entrance for many years, showed no fear. He soared into the air, flew out of the base, and confronted the three Yao Race Demigods.

Facing the Yao Race Demigods with powerful auras, whose mere pressure made people tremble.

General Qin Shouyi glared at them, neither humble nor arrogant, and shouted loudly:

"Great Xia, General Qin Shouyi!"

The Ox Race Demigod on the far left glanced at General Qin Shouyi and sneered:

"A weak, broken body, yet you dare to look us in the eye?"

A powerful Mental Energy pressed down like a tsunami.

However, General Qin Shouyi resisted stubbornly, standing as straight as a pine, not retreating a single step. Instead, his voice rang out like metal and stone, saying word by word:

"These hands of mine have slain Yao Venerables of the same rank."

"These feet of mine have trampled over the ruins of the Yao Race."

"My old bones can still eat, and can still fight!"

"They can still drink blood, and can still slay Yao!"

"What is there to fear!!!"

The Ox Race Demigod snorted coldly, its lantern-sized eyes widening slightly.

"Is that so?"

"Then let's see how much skill you really have!"

After saying this.

The huge palm reached out to grab General Qin Shouyi.

"Careful!"

"Retreat quickly!"

The Powerhouses on the city wall warned.

Ten Peak Eighth Realm Experts soared into the air and flew toward General Qin Shouyi.

The huge palm tore through the air. As the five fingers closed, a hurricane was whipped up. Under the powerful pressure, the Powerhouses were unable to get close.

"Oh no!"

Just when everyone was in despair.

A cold light flashed by.

"Slash!"

With a loud shout, the Ox Race Demigod's arm was repelled. A few drops of blood dripped from its wrist, falling to the ground and smashing into several large pits.

"Who?"

The Ox Race Demigod was furious. It hadn't expected that in such a wild and desolate place, someone could actually injure it.

"Xiao Weiqing?"

General Qin Shouyi saw the young man blocking in front of him. Who else could it be but Xiao Weiqing.

Xiao Weiqing held the ten thousand calamities, looked ahead, and said softly:

"Please go back; leave this to me."

"Alright, be careful."

General Qin Shouyi did not try to be a hero. Times had changed; with Xiao Weiqing's arrival, he was no longer needed.
