Chapter 410 Declaration of War

The smile on Lu Changsheng's face froze instantly. He quickly looked around and saw that the people who were originally immersed in the joy of the festival were like a flock of frightened birds, and they were instantly in a state of panic.

The young people pulled their children, the old people staggered, and everyone was running in the direction they thought was safe, with shouts and cries intertwined.

The street lights flickered among the swaying figures, as if they also felt the impending crisis, and the light became bright and dim.

The vendors did not bother to pack up their stalls, and dropped their goods and mixed into the fleeing crowd. Those lanterns and candied haws that had not yet been sold were scattered all over the ground, rolling alone in the cold wind, looking particularly desolate.

The children were in their parents' arms or holding hands, with fear in their eyes. Some children cried for their mothers, while others hugged their parents' necks tightly, fearing that they would be swept away by the torrent if they let go.

On the street, vehicles began to shuttle back and forth in disorder, with horns and brakes honking one after another. Drivers tried to find a way out in the chaos, but often had to give up because of the traffic jams, and finally joined the ranks of those fleeing on foot.

Lu Changsheng protected all three disciples behind him, squinting his eyes and looking into the air.

A huge monster poked its upper body out of the ground.

It looked like an earthworm, with a dull gray-black skin, covered with layers of wrinkles like ancient bark, and each wrinkle contained a demon.

Mucus slowly slid down its body and dripped onto the ground, making a "hissing" sound, accompanied by a disgusting stench, and instantly corroded the ground it touched, leaving behind pits with acid mist.

The monster's eyes, like two points of ghost fire in the abyss, flashed with a frightening red light. Its mouth was huge, full of sharp fangs, and it was constantly making low and long roars.

Countless demons broke free from the mucous membranes on its body and rushed towards the crowd. Most of them were low-level bone-burning demons and black crows with flying ability.

The demons adopted a completely suicidal attack. The bone-burning demons would explode directly as long as they approached the crowd, and the black crows used their mobility to continuously attack and kill ordinary people in the air.

The ferocious roars of the demons and the cries of the crowd were everywhere.

In Yaoguang City, countless lights and shadows flew towards the huge monster.

All the combatants of the Demon Slayer Division were dispatched to clean up those crazy beasts.

The demons didn't seem to care about their own lives at all, and only wanted to cause as much damage as possible. Even if their bodies had been shattered by the pressure of the awakened human race, they would fight to the death to detonate the crystal core in their bodies.

Yaoguang City is the core of the human race, with a large population, and most of them are ordinary civilians. When dealing with these demons, the Demon Slayer Bureau is inevitably timid and dare not exert its full strength.

At this moment, a terrifying pressure fell from the sky, accurately covering every demon that was making trouble.

With the arrival of the terrifying pressure, the whole Yaoguang City seemed to tremble. The air solidified at this moment. The originally rampant demons seemed to be strangled by the throat by an invisible giant hand, frozen in place, unable to move.

Above the night sky, a figure was surrounded by dark flames, like a god descending from the sky, staring coldly at the damned beasts under his feet.

The strange red and black mask, under the cold moonlight, was even more murderous.

Passers-by stopped in this sudden peace, their eyes widened, looking at Lu Changsheng's direction in disbelief.

Some put their hands together, tears flashing in their eyes, as if they were witnessing a miracle; others covered their mouths, shocked beyond words, with unprecedented awe and gratitude in their hearts.

"It's that adult..." Someone in the crowd whispered, the voice was small, but it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

The name quickly spread among the crowd, and everyone raised their heads and stared at the sky in a daze.

The children stopped crying, they stared at Lu Changsheng with wide eyes, curious and a little scared, as if he was a hero from a fairy tale who could dispel all darkness and fear.

At this moment, another figure quickly approached the adult in the air.

"Master Zhong, how did the demon race cross the first line of defense?" Lu Changsheng saw the person clearly and spoke faintly.

"The demons did not cross the first line of defense. This beast...went deep into Yaoguang City alone. It didn't even think about going back alive."

Zhong Peipei's face was full of solemnity, as if what she was going to say next was completely beyond her psychological expectations.

After taking a deep breath, Zhong Peipei slowly said, "My lord...the Demon Slayer Division just received an urgent report from the front line..."

"The demon tide has arrived!"

"The real purpose of this beast is to declare war on our human race."

Lu Changsheng's heart "jumped" and he turned his head to look at Zhong Peipei, asking in disbelief, "The demon tide has arrived? Why is it at this time?"

"Two Lords of the Abyss have died in the battle, and the new Lord of the Abyss has not yet been replenished. Why would the Infinite True God choose to start the demon tide at this time?"

Zhong Peipei looked at the huge monster that was still struggling and roaring under her feet, and said in a solemn tone.

"We still don't know what the demons are thinking. Perhaps this time, like the previous times, there won't be any creatures above the ninth level. But no matter what the demons are thinking..."

"The war has begun."

Lu Changsheng looked at the ruined Yaoguang City, with collapsed houses everywhere. Many ordinary people who lost their relatives in the attack could only hold the bodies of their relatives and cry in pain.

The war began without any signs. In the life-and-death struggle between the two races, ordinary people were just fragile platycodons, which could be taken away in pieces by a slight breeze.

If the human race was defeated, then the scene Lu Changsheng saw now would spread to the entire human race.

When the nest is overturned, no eggs will be left intact. What awaits those ordinary people is only despair and pain.

And the fate of destruction.

Lu Changsheng clenched his fists tighter and tighter. The veins on his forehead under the mask were already swollen and bulging, and bloodshot eyes had also appeared.

Lu Changsheng slowly drew out the Ten Thousand Gods Sword from the void and said coldly, "Ninth level or not..."

"Demigods above the ninth level or not..."

"I don't care."

Lu Changsheng raised the Ten Thousand Gods Sword and pointed it directly at the huge monster that was struggling, "Aren't you here to declare war?"

"I'll kill you first."

"Use it as a sacrifice!"

The pressure was boiling and the air was rolling.

The surging energy poured out like a beam of light, accurately landing on the head of each monster.

But in an instant, all the monsters that broke into Yaoguang City were crushed.

Lu Changsheng took a step forward, and the Ten Thousand Gods Sword dragged a long tail flame and fell like a meteor.

A sword was slashed out.

The dull gray-black skin made a "sizzling" sound under the burning of the fire, but the monster was completely devoured in the blink of an eye.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of burning. The monster struggled and twisted in pain and despair, and finally turned into nothingness.

Not even a trace was left.
