Chapter 1452: Risking one's life, like a moth to a flame
As time goes by, the war on the North Plains has reached a fever pitch.
Except for a few ancestral realms and holy realms in the sky that were still barely in a stalemate, the front-line blockade formed by the monks of the Kyushu Allied Forces on the ground still collapsed.
Countless high-level demons broke through the blockade and headed straight for the coalition forces in the rear.
"Roar!!"
A thousand-foot-tall demon beast roared. It was a black giant lizard shaped like a dragon, with a pair of huge bat wings. It flew low in the sky, blocking out the sky and the sun, like a huge mountain range, and rushed towards the already collapsed defense line of the monks.
"kill!"
"We must not let this monster take even a single step!!"
Many Jindan cultivators shouted angrily, and more than a hundred Jindan cultivators formed a battle formation at this moment and unleashed a shocking sword aura. The sword aura spread over dozens of miles in the air and went straight towards the thousand-foot demon lizard.
However, although the thousand-foot demon lizard is only a demon beast, the power contained in its body is enough to be on par with a saint. How can it be defeated by this small sword formation?
The huge sword formation finally exploded on the body of the thousand-foot demon lizard, emitting countless brilliant flames, but it was unable to break even the scales on the opponent's body.
"Rumble--"
A huge sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a long and narrow black shadow swept across the void, as if sucking the air apart and causing it to explode, emitting a terrifying sound.
When the black shadow approached, the group of Jindan cultivators were horrified to find that it was actually a tail as big as a hill!
Before the giant lizard's tail came close enough, the monks already had despair on their faces. However, none of them turned around and ran away. Instead, they all clenched their teeth, with determination in their eyes.
"My fellow Taoists, we are in Jiuzhou. Since we started our cultivation, we have been blessed by the heaven and earth of Jiuzhou. If I die for Jiuzhou today, it is a worthy death!"
"Fang is one step ahead!!"
An old man in green clothes laughed loudly, and then the golden elixir in his body burned, and blood flames rose from his whole body.
This scene moved all the cultivators, because they all knew that this was burning the golden elixir and essence and blood, intending to concentrate the entire golden elixir's power in one strike.
This is simply a desperate effort!
The old man in green clothes merged with the flying sword in his hand while laughing, achieving the legendary state of unity between man and sword, and turned into a rainbow light and rushed towards the giant lizard.
"boom!"
The next moment, the giant tail like a hill directly exploded the rainbow light, without any hindrance, and continued to strike towards the monks at a terrifying speed.
"Brother Fang is a true character!"
"For the sake of the Nine Provinces and our homeland, we cultivators should not fear death!"
"Liu is leaving!"
Another cultivator smiled sadly, and at the same moment he burned his golden elixir and blood essence, creating the most glorious scene since his practice.
"Tian is leaving!"
"Wang is leaving!"
"Li is leaving too......!!"
For a moment, millions of Jindan cultivators shouted loudly, and the despair on their faces was replaced by laughter.
At this moment, they truly risked their lives, burning the golden elixirs in their bodies and also burning all their blood and essence.
"Do not!!"
"Dad! Master!!"
There were shouts and cries from the monks in the rear, their voices were heart-wrenching and filled with pain.
She was a female monk in the foundation-building stage.
She is tall and pretty. She is the daughter of one of the hundred monks and also the apprentice of one of them.
Seeing her father and master rushing towards the giant beast like moths to a flame, she felt great pain in her heart, because she knew that after this departure, she would no longer have a father and a master.
Thinking of this, a hint of panic flashed across the female cultivator's eyes, and then she was about to rush towards the battlefield, but was grabbed by a young man beside her.
"Junior sister, it's too dangerous over there, you must not go there!!"
The young man grabbed the sleeve of the female cultivator, raised his hand and summoned a flying sword to kill a green-skinned demon who pounced on the female cultivator.
"Let me go!!"
The female cultivator struggled angrily, trying to shake off the young man's hand, but was slapped in the face by the young man instead.
"Junior sister, calm down!"
"This is a battlefield!!"
"Not to mention that our master and his companions won't be able to come back, we may die here at any time!"
The young man shouted at the female cultivator with an angry face, and his eyes were full of pity when he looked at her.
Although he slapped his junior sister hard, he had been urging his flying sword to protect her, and barely managed to save his life in this chaotic battlefield.
At this moment, on the battlefield in the distance, more than a hundred Jindan cultivators finally died.
Even though they gambled their lives and launched an unprecedented attack, they still couldn't even block one tail of the demon lizard, and ultimately ended up dead.
The female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage was stunned by the scene, and at the same time, she was sobered up a little by the slap from her senior brother.
"Brother, they knew they couldn't beat that beast, so why didn't they run away? Why did they just go and die?!"
The female cultivator had tears in her eyes and couldn't help but look at the senior brother in front of her who had been protecting her.
“Because they cannot retreat. If they retreat, we, the weaker monks, will be the ones to die.
Although they can't stop the beast, they can buy us a few seconds.
In just a few moments, a lot of lives can be saved!"
The young man spoke in a deep voice, then he turned around and looked at the giant beast that had rushed into the crowd and was killing people wantonly, then he took a deep breath, smiled and said: "Junior sister, just now Master and the others sacrificed themselves to protect us.
Now it's my turn to protect you!"
After saying that, the young man flew into the air with his sword in hand and rushed straight towards the demon lizard, leaving behind a lonely and heroic figure to the female cultivator.
“Senior Brother…!!”
The female cultivator cried bitterly, then used the magic weapon in her hand to kill the surrounding demons.
Everything was caused by these demons, she hated them so much!!
At this moment, not only was there only the thousand-foot-long demon lizard that rushed into the coalition's defense line, but several terrifying monsters that were no smaller than it also rushed into the rear of the coalition's defense line.
In order to stop these monsters, the monks in the Jiuzhou coalition were all fearless and rushed forward like moths to a flame, but the result was often that they turned into a puff of blood mist.
“Junior sister, at first I didn’t understand why Master and the others would risk their lives for a battle that had no chance of winning.
I don't understand what it means for us monks to be willing to die.
In my opinion, what we cultivators pursue is the path to immortality. Aren’t we the group of people who value our lives the most?
But now I finally understand.
Because compared to the illusory path to immortality, there are things around us that are more important than immortality, and we can even die for these things!"
"As cultivators, why should we fear a fight? Why should we fear death?!"
"As long as I die for the right reason, what does it matter if I die like a moth flying into a flame?!"
"Ha ha ha ha……!!"
The young monk laughed loudly, burning all the strength in his body, and finally burst out with the most astonishing sword of his life.
"boom!"
The next moment, a giant palm fell and slapped the young monk into a bloody mist!
"Brother!!"
In the rear battlefield, a female foundation-building cultivator stabbed a green-skinned demon cultivator's head with a sword, and then saw this scene, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Shh!"
However, the next moment, her head flew high and was chopped off by another demon monk with a knife!
