”King Qin, over at Demon Cloud City, the battle has already begun!”

Three days later, when Qin Tian led his troops on a forced march and reached the wilderness thirty miles from Demon Cloud City, the scouts from the Qin Family army returned to report that Demon Cloud City was currently under a fierce attack by the Demon King’s army.

”How many enemies are attacking Demon Cloud City?” Qin Tian asked.

”Roughly estimated to be around fifty thousand. It appears they’ve already engaged in aerial combat and both sides suffered, but the Demon King’s army has the advantage on the ground and is preparing to use a True Qi Shock Wave to break through the city gates.”

Upon hearing this, the tension in Qin Tian’s heart finally eased.

Undoubtedly, the Demon King only sent fifty thousand to attack Demon Cloud City, which means they absolutely did not anticipate his reinforcements.

Even if the Demon King did anticipate it, they surely did not expect his tens of thousands of troops to cover nearly two thousand kilometers in three days!

”Very well, gather the troops, our ten thousand charging soldiers are the fastest, and will advance to the battlefield to reinforce Demon Cloud City first.”

Qin Tian contemplated for a moment before ordering, then looked at a general from the Qin Family army named Lu Xingyu, and said, ”Lu Xingyu, take the Qin Family army and the remaining forty thousand soldiers, and quietly encircle the retreat path of the Demon King’s army. I expect our surprise attack on their rear will be overwhelming, and they will retreat. At that time, you will intercept their retreating troops and slaughter them, but remember not to pursue deeply.”

”In this attack on Demon Cloud City, the top experts that the Demon King dispatched definitely didn’t go all out, so if you pursue deeply, you’re likely to encounter their reinforcements, so do not pursue deeply. After the ambush, enter Demon Cloud City.”

”I understand.” Lu Xingyu was originally a cautious general, and Qin Tian had great confidence in him.

When he led the ten thousand charging soldiers behind the Demon Clan’s troops attacking Demon Cloud City, they were still ten miles away when the enemy discovered them.

At this time, some of the Demon King’s troops were ramming the city gates, while others were flying in the air entangled with the City Guard Soldiers, neither up nor down. When they saw the Human Clan’s army appear at their rear, one by one, they were dumbfounded.

”Kill them for me!”

Qin Tian commanded his men to charge, and at the same time, he knew the enemy did not know how many of them had arrived, so he deliberately raised his voice, using True Qi Transmission, and shouted, ”The Human Clan’s one hundred thousand strong army has arrived for reinforcement, kill them without leaving a trace!”

This was a psychological battle, but for the demon army in such a decisive battle, this psychological strategy was extremely effective.

Upon hearing that the Human Clan’s reinforcement army of one hundred thousand had arrived and seeing the frontal charging army’s immense speed, the Demon King’s demon army was immediately thrown into disarray.

Just then, Jin Lin, who was responsible for defending Demon Cloud City, also led the defending troops in a large-scale counterattack. In an instant, the attacking demon army was utterly defeated and could only retreat in panic.

Qin Tian saw that Jin Lin was about to send troops in pursuit and immediately stopped him: ”Brother Jin, don’t pursue them, let them go.”

Jin Lin, exhilarated by the killing, said, ”Brother Qin, we’ve been under siege for two consecutive days. If it weren’t for your timely arrival, we surely wouldn’t have been able to hold, and would have had to abandon the city. Now that you’re here, our morale has soared, shouldn’t we chase them for a bit to vent our frustration?”

Qin Tian waved his hand and pointed into the distance: ”Look over there, I’ve already stationed people waiting for them.”

Jin Lin looked in the direction Qin Tian pointed, and sure enough, in the forest some dozens of miles away, the retreating demon army began howling again, True Qi shooting into the sky, indicating another intense battle.

”Brilliant, truly brilliant!”

Jin Lin gave Qin Tian a thumbs up, ”In such an urgent situation, you could anticipate the enemy’s escape route and set an ambush, Brother Qin, I truly admire you profoundly.”

Jin Lin laughed heartily and said, ”Ah, with your one hundred thousand soldiers reinforcing us this time, the Great Demon King might not be able to cross the Demon God River, and it’s more than enough to give them a hard time.”

”I didn’t bring one hundred thousand; I was just scaring them. I only brought fifty thousand.” Qin Tian gave Jin Lin a slight smile, ”We are in great need of manpower in Yueya City of the West State, so I couldn’t muster one hundred thousand, therefore...”

”Hahaha, fifty thousand is enough!”

Jin Lin waved it off, unconcerned, ”Brother Qin, please, come inside the city for a chat.”

The command center of Demon Cloud City was set up in the residence of the City Lord’s Mu Family.

Upon entering the Mu Residence, Qin Tian immediately asked, ”Where is Mu Yunxi?”

Upon hearing this, Jin Lin sighed and said, ”City Lord Mu was killed by Xuan Tianyue, one of the two great experts under the Demon King, and Yunxi was also injured. My father knew that Demon Cloud City might not be defendable, so he took them to Demon Spirit City.”

”Rest assured, she’s fine, though she may be a bit down due to City Lord Mu’s death. Brother Qin, let me brief you on the current situation of Demon Cloud City.”

”Earlier, we anticipated that Demon Cloud City wouldn’t hold, so my father had me station thirty-five thousand troops here to resist and hold off for a bit. If we couldn’t hold, we would retreat. Our main force is stationed in Demon Spirit City.”

”I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly; Demon Cloud City is held, at least for now. It’s exciting, you brought fifty thousand troops, and you are a super strong fighter, now the Demon King will find it challenging to take Demon Cloud City.”

Listening to Jin Lin’s analysis, Qin Tian still had thoughts lingering on Mu Jing’an’s death and Mu Yunxi’s injury, he asked, ”Brother Jin, was City Lord Mu’s death and Yunxi’s injury all because of Xuan Tianyue?”

”Indeed,” Jin Lin said, ”Xuan Tianyue is the commander of the one hundred thousand-strong army sent by the Demon King this time. When we had a frontal clash with him, this guy saw City Lord Mu, then suddenly launched a sneak attack, and fought with City Lord Mu.”

”Xuan Tianyue is one of the top experts of the Demon Clan, City Lord Mu couldn’t withstand him, didn’t last five moves, and was killed without even having a chance to strike back, it’s terrifying.”

”Yunxi saw City Lord Mu fall, tried to save him, but ended up fighting Xuan Tianyue herself, eventually losing to him and taking a palm strike.”

”Originally, Xuan Tianyue intended to kill Yunxi too, but at that moment, Yunxi’s master, Fairy Tianyin, appeared. She was stronger than Xuan Tianyue, repelled him, thus saving Yunxi and bringing back City Lord Mu’s body.”

Qin Tian contemplated and asked, ”This Xuan Tianyue, what is his cultivation level?”

”That’s unknown, but City Lord Mu was in the Early Stage of the Great Immortal Realm, and Yunxi too in the Great Immortal Realm, neither could match him. I suspect Xuan Tianyue’s cultivation is at least in the Late Stage of the Great Immortal Realm or higher! Very terrifying!”
