"What? A trap? The Palace Lord set up a trap in advance?"
"Then can we win? I thought we couldn't possibly defeat the four allied armies on our own."
"The Palace Lord is a master strategist. Since he dared to lure the demons here intentionally, he must have made thorough preparations. We just need to fight, and wait for the demons to be annihilated."
Unlike the confidence of the people from the Thunder Emperor Palace, those who came to congratulate them held a skeptical attitude.
"Does this Lord Wan possess such great ambition and strategy? To deliberately lure the demons into a trap to eliminate them."
"If it succeeds, it's great ambition; if it fails, it's inviting a wolf into the house. I'm now doubting what Lord Wan's trump card is. Can such a grand formation truly annihilate hundreds of thousands of elite enemy troops? If that's the case, wouldn't the Heavenly Array Pavilion be invincible?"
"This grand formation must be extraordinary. Look at the expression of the demon commander; he looks like he's eaten shit, which means this grand formation is definitely powerful. As they say, it's a formation from the Immortal Realm."
"Yes, it's likely Lord Wan obtained an Immortal Realm formation from some secret realm. No wonder he was so keen on exploring secret realms. After the last secret realm opens, I'll go explore it too."
The crowd buzzed with discussions.
Although everyone had varying opinions, most felt pleasantly surprised. Lord Wan had made arrangements and set a trap, and now the enemy had walked right into it.
"I'm very curious, how did you know we would come from the south? Was it just because the Liu family is in the south? We could have attacked from other directions."
Marshal Qiong Ku stared at Wan Lei and asked seriously.
Lord Wan grinned,
"I've set up the Demon Blood Slaughtering Heaven Formation around the Thunder Emperor Palace. The materials aren't expensive anyway, and the most crucial material is the blood of you demons."
"Hmph, you people from the Righteous Plane all have more than eight hundred tricks up your sleeves. When you can't defeat us demons head-on, you resort to schemes and tricks!
A true warrior should charge forward relentlessly, unstoppable, and crush the enemy with their own might!"
"No matter the method, any method that can kill the enemy is a good method."
Wan Lei pointed his Thunder God's Hammer forward, his voice echoing throughout the Thunder Emperor Palace,
"All forces of the Thunder Emperor Palace, listen to my command: surround the enemy army and attack with full force!
Today, I will dye the sky crimson with the blood of demons and build mounds of heads from their corpses. Whether it be the enemy or the people of the world, I want to show them that although our Thunder Emperor Palace is newly established, we are by no means to be trifled with!
Today, we will use the lives of our enemies to lay the foundation for our Thunder Emperor Palace!"
"Kill!!!"
"Kill!!!"
The Thunder Emperor Palace forces were invigorated. Everyone picked up their weapons and, under the command of their respective generals and elders, charged towards the enemy in the south.
"Attack, attack this formation!"
Marshal Qiong Shen roared, ordering his army to attack. At the same time, he himself flew up to the front of the formation, attempting to break it.
However, this time it was impossible for him to succeed. Knowing his prowess in formations, how could Wan Lei let him break it with ease?
Wan Lei personally flew above the formation, facing Marshal Qiong Shen across the formation. The two engaged in a contest, one attempting to break the formation and the other to repair it.
The Thunder Emperor Palace army surrounded the allied demon forces, unleashing various divine abilities like they were free.
Countless demons and members of the three families perished, their green blood flowing onto the ground, nourishing and strengthening the formation.
"Defend, defend! Gather your battle formations and form a defensive system. Don't charge forward recklessly anymore."
Marshal Qiong Shen roared, directing the demon army to regroup their battle formations. As for the members of the three families beside them, he had no time to look after them.
The scene unfolding was peculiar.
The Thunder Emperor Palace, which was originally weak and being attacked, suddenly became the aggressor, encircling the enemy, maneuvering around the perimeter, and easily attacking them.
The allied demon forces, originally strong and attacking, inexplicably found themselves on the defensive, taking hits.
Wan Lei perfectly demonstrated what it meant to have the best offense be the best defense.
The Thunder Emperor Palace army had already surrounded the enemy, slaughtering them at will and with unrestrained joy.
This scene inspired many guests from other forces who had come to congratulate them. They no longer cared about their own stances or political maneuvering; they all flew out and joined the fray.
The sect masters of the Kui Lian Sect, the Yin Yang Sect, and Elder Fang, along with their disciples, went to reinforce the battle.
Huofeng and the other three Tribulation Transcenders, led by Fang Xiaoyu, continuously channeled flames into the formation, causing widespread casualties among the enemy.
Meanwhile, the four Tribulation Transcendence cultivators at the Upper Stage, Fang Xiaohui, Qu Tianlei, and Chen Manlian, also joined the battle, relentlessly attacking the enemy from outside the formation.
In the previous major battle, although they were the attacking side, they were still at a disadvantage, suppressed by the enemy and unable to lift their heads.
Now, with such a golden opportunity, how could they not seek revenge and vent their anger?
This kind of "locking the door to beat the dog" combat style was incredibly satisfying.
The battle grew more intense, with continuous deaths of demons. Their blood flowed into the formation, constantly strengthening it.
And this formation was naturally not just meant to simply surround the enemy; the Immortals who created this formation did so to kill their foes.
Initially, the light blades emitted by the formation could only barely kill one or two Grudge Demons, while slightly stronger Grudge Demons could withstand these light blades without dying.
But as more demons died and more blood flowed, the formation grew stronger, and the light blades became more potent and longer.
From five zhang, they extended to ten, then twenty zhang. Each light blade attack harvested the lives of some allied soldiers and demons.
The formation, drenched in the green blood, and its soaring light curtain truly lived up to Wan Lei's words: dyeing the sky crimson with demonic blood.
Seeing more and more demons dying inside, Qiong Ku roared to the heavens in anger, striking the formation fiercely with a punch.
"Little thief, if you have the guts, come out and fight me!"
"As you wish."
Wan Lei smiled slightly and took two steps back.
"The first line army, enter the formation and maintain your battle formation. Anyone injured should immediately withdraw from the formation to receive treatment, and the subsequent army will take their place. Today, I will use these enemies to...
train the troops!"
"Yes, sir!"
As Wan Lei ordered, the first wave of the Thunder Emperor Palace army immediately charged forward, entering the formation and steadily advancing.
The enemies within the formation, having been passively beaten for so long, were incredibly frustrated. Seeing the enemy enter, their eyes turned red, and they charged towards the Thunder Emperor Palace army.
The army outside the formation, seeing the enemy's defensive formations loosen and become disordered, immediately seized the opportunity to attack, providing covering fire for the frontline army.
