Chapter 1055 The Demon Army's Deadly Trap

“Very good.” Zhang Yuan finally nodded, and the simulated Xuanwu aura receded like the tide, restoring Zhang Yuan’s original calm and profound temperament.

He glanced at Yue Qing.

Yue Qing understood and stepped forward. The Zhenyue Token flashed, and an even stronger Yuan Magnetic Seal was injected into Mo Wenshu's body, completely sealing all his power, making it impossible for him to even self-destruct.

"Keep an eye on him. He still has his uses." Zhang Yuan's voice returned to calm as he turned and walked out of the cage.

Behind him, only Mo Wenshu lay slumped on the ground, panting, surviving the ordeal yet bewildered and helpless.

……

Inside the central command tent, the lights were on.

On the sand table, models of Tianyuan City and the Hanyue Army camp are clearly visible.

Zhang Yuan gathered star power at his fingertips and tapped heavily on the location of the western warehouse, leaving a conspicuous spot of light.

"Intelligence confirmed. The underground warehouse in the West District contains three hundred cubic meters of refined copper and the cores for five thousand Demon-Slaying Crossbows." Zhang Yuan's voice was resolute. "We must have this!"

"Yue Qing".

"Your subordinate is here!"

"With the Zhenyue Order in hand, lead 20,000 'Iron-Blooded Rock Battalion' and launch a grand, feigned attack on the forward outposts of the 'Shattered Rock Division' of the demon army in the western district of Tianyuan City."

"Make a big show of force and launch a fierce attack, making it seem as if the main force of the Shaking Yue Army is trying to break through the western district's defenses. Make sure to attract the attention of Blood Butcher and 'Bone-Eating' Demon General!"

"Understood!" Yue Qing's eyes burned with fighting spirit.

"Breakthrough Team, follow me." Zhang Yuan's gaze swept over the fifty Saint Realm elites in the tent, whose auras were deep and whose eyes were sharp.

They wore specially made lightweight magnetic inner armor and carried demon-slaying short crossbows that shimmered with a ghostly light, making them the sharpest blades in the army for attacking and breaking through enemy lines.

"Target: West District Warehouse. Move swiftly, like thunder and ghosts."

"Yes, sir!" the fifty men shouted in unison, their killing intent subdued.

------------

West District Warehouse.

The ground was covered with broken walls and ruins, a scene of desolation and death.

Deep underground, however, lies a hidden paradise.

The heavy, dark iron gate was tightly shut, its surface etched with countless twisted and writhing demonic patterns, emanating a chilling aura that could freeze the soul.

Dozens of elite Bone-Corroding Demon Guards stood silently guard at various points along the passage, like stone statues blending into the shadows.

Suddenly, a rapid surge of demonic energy, carrying the unique malevolent aura of the Blood Demon Army's personal guard, appeared.

With specific core runes, it penetrated through layers of restrictions and accurately entered the sea of ​​consciousness of Tu Gang, the deputy of the Bone-Eating Demon General stationed here!

"Tu Gang, listen to my command! Something's happened at Zanglong'ao! It's suspected to be a counterattack by the remnants of Ba Yue's forces, attempting to cut off our retreat!"

"Lord Blood Butcher's urgent order: Your unit is to immediately break camp and rush to the aid of the Burial Dragon Pass! There must be no delay! The supply depot is temporarily placed under the control of the 'Shadow Claw' Third Squad! Act immediately upon receiving this order!"

The command was brief, urgent, and carried an unquestionable authority; the secret code was flawless!

Tu Gang's demonic body trembled, and a hint of surprise flashed in his scarlet demonic eyes.

Burial at Long'ao?

The remnants of Ba Yue's forces?

A direct order from Lord Blood Butcher?

He subconsciously looked toward the supply depot, at the heavy, dark iron gate.

He could not help but believe it when he felt the pure and incomparable Blood Slaughter Guard Camp mark and the fluctuations of the secret patterns within the demonic thought!

"Damn it! Of all times!" Tu Gang cursed under his breath. The location of Zanglong'ao was crucial. If their escape route were cut off, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lord Blood Butcher's orders were like a mountain! "Where are the Shadow Claws? Where have they all gone?" he roared irritably.

"Reporting to the lieutenant general, the third squad of the Shadow Claw Division has just been relieved of their duties on the outer perimeter patrol. We have notified them to come and take over immediately!" a demon guard responded.

"I can't wait any longer!" Tu Gang gritted his teeth, looking at the "act immediately upon receiving the order" emphasized in the demonic thought. "Leave a small team here to await the handover with the Shadow Claw Division! The rest of you, come with me to Burial Dragon Pass! Hurry!"

The orders from the authorities are as heavy as mountains, and the military situation is as urgent as fire!

The Bone-Eating Demon Guards were well-trained, and despite their doubts, they instantly assembled at Tu Gang's stern command.

Heavy footsteps echoed through the underground passage, like a black tide that quickly receded.

Only ten Bone-Eating Demon Guards remained, along with many empty passageways.

And that dark, icy iron gate.

The ten remaining demon guards looked at each other, having just relaxed their guard a little.

"Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!"

A faint sound, almost masked by the wind, suddenly rang out!

Dozens of specially made demon-slaying crossbow bolts, infused with concentrated chaotic star energy, shot out from the shadowy corners and ventilation ducts of the passage like deadly bees!

fast!

quasi!

ruthless!

Puff puff!

Before the ten Bone-Eating Demon Guards could even scream, their vital points exploded with filthy demonic blood, and their demonic bodies stiffened as they collapsed to the ground!

Almost at the same instant the crossbow bolts left the bowstring, fifty figures seemed to emerge from nothingness!

Zhang Yuan took the lead, his entire body covered by the Myriad Beasts Divine Armor, and the deep, illusory roar of the myriad beasts flashed by around him.

Ignoring the corpses of the demon guards on the ground, he strode to the massive Xuan Yin Ming Iron Gate.

The magic runes on the door sensed the approach of a living being and were instantly activated!

Countless twisted demonic shadows roared and pounced out, the extreme cold freezing the air, even the rocks groaned under the weight!

"break!"

Zhang Yuan let out a low shout, which was as loud as a thunderclap!

Without the slightest hesitation, his arm muscles bulged, and the chaotic star source power and the vast earth vein magnetic power converged wildly through the Zhenyue Token!

He slammed both palms hard against the cold, dark iron gate!

"Chaotic Primal Magnetic - Vibration!"

Buzz—Boom!

An indescribable, terrifying shockwave erupted from the center of Zhang Yuan's palms!

That was not a pure brute force impact, but a destructive energy that combined the "assimilation" and "annihilation" characteristics of the chaotic star source power with the "suppression" and "crushing" power of the earth's magnetic field!

The frequency of the vibrations was so high that it exceeded the limits of human hearing, yet it was so heavy that it seemed as if the entire earth was groaning!

Visible gray-yellow ripples spread across the entire giant door like water ripples in an instant!

Click!

Click!

Click!

A series of teeth-grinding cracking sounds rang out!

The writhing demonic patterns on the door, like drops of boiling oil thrown into a pot, emitted a shrill scream and instantly collapsed and vanished!

The Xuan Yin Ming Iron, which forms the core of the restriction, has a tight internal structure that is as if it is being bombarded by billions of invisible hammers at the same time under this high-frequency vibration!

The ancient restriction, which was incredibly sturdy and strong enough to withstand the bombardment of a Venerable, was like a shattered piece of glass art, its surface instantly covered with terrifying spiderweb-like cracks several feet deep!

"open!"

Zhang Yuan exhaled and shouted, then exerted force with both arms once more!

The Armor of Ten Thousand Beasts bursts with light!

Boom! ...

The massive Xuan Yin Ming Iron gate, weighing a million jin, along with the remaining fragments of its restrictions, collapsed inwards as if it had been struck head-on by a prehistoric beast, letting out a deafening wail!

Smoke and dust, mixed with a thick demonic aura and a pungent sulfur smell, surged out!

The view inside the door suddenly opened up!

The enormous underground space was piled high with supplies that looked like small mountains!

The most dazzling thing was the mountain of Li Huo Jing Tong ingots!

Each piece was as red as blood, radiating scorching and surging fire elemental power. The number of them was so great that, at a rough glance, there were no less than three hundred pieces!

Like a sleeping Flaming Mountains!

Beside them, thousands of specially made metal boxes were neatly stacked, the cold, hard luster of precision components faintly visible through the gaps in the lids—these were the cores of five thousand brand-new Demon-Slaying Crossbows!

"move!"

Zhang Yuan gave the order without the slightest hesitation! (End of Chapter)
