Chapter 1928 - 1932: Qin Tian’s Army Arrives!
Hong Qi shouted harshly, and that was the order for his men to make a move on Qin Tian!
With so many experts on their side, killing Qin Tian and the Yin Family’s remnant soldiers would be as easy as turning a hand!
Boom!
However, just as these people were about to strike, Qin Tian suddenly gathered flames on his right fist and violently punched out, blasting toward the sky!
This punch, its Fist Light tinged red, was like a cannon shell, roaring through heaven and earth!
When Qin Tian made his move, he actually startled Yin Yue Demon Venerate and the others, who thought Qin Tian wanted to strike first and launch a sneak attack. They never expected Qin Tian to throw an empty punch at the sky!
"Heh, Qin Tian must be at the end of his rope!" Hong Qi bared his teeth and roared, "What are you spacing out for? Hack him to pieces!"
The soldiers surged forward, True Qi bursting out in a torrential wave!
"Protect Marquis Qin!"
At this moment, Yin Qingshan let out a great roar and rushed ahead alone, placing himself in front of Qin Tian!
At the same time, the Yin Family guards who could still fight all charged forward one after another, determined to live and die together with Qin Tian!
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian felt a warmth in his heart.
In contrast, Xie Zhiyang shouted furiously, "Yin Qingshan, are you rebelling? Do you know who you’re helping? You’re of the Demon Clan, yet you’re helping someone of the Human Clan?!"
Yin Qingshan let out a cold laugh, killing intent already surging from his body, and said, "Help and die, or don’t help and still die! Sometimes, those of the Demon Clan are more terrifying than those of the Human Clan! I’d rather help a Human! Come on then!"
"Heh, seeking death!"
Xie Zhiyang’s gaze sank. With a wave of his hand, the Xie Family’s soldiers also surged forward!
"Family Head, over there! Over there!"
"Your Majesty, look! The sky over there!"
Almost at the same time, Yin Yue Demon Venerate’s soldiers and the Xie Family guards cried out in shock in unison.
Everyone forgot about attacking for the moment. They all stared, dumbfounded, at the sky directly ahead of them, where it was pitch‑black in a dense mass!
In fact, before these soldiers shouted, Yin Yue Demon Venerate, Hong Qi, and Xie Zhiyang had noticed it at the same time.
In the distant sky, a vast, black swarm of Flying Beasts was rapidly closing in on their position!
Not only that, aside from those Flying Beasts, from the ground in the distance came tremors like an earthquake, as if the entire earth was about to collapse!
Xie Zhiyang looked utterly dumbfounded, frowned, and said, "Your Majesty, look at the distant sky and what I’m sensing from afar—it seems like a large army is approaching... Could it be that someone from the Eighth Peak is rushing over to reinforce the Yin Family?"
Yin Yue Demon Venerate’s face was already extremely ugly as he said, "No, those Flying Beasts in the distance are well‑trained. It’s clearly an army!"
"The Qin Family Army! Qin Tian’s Qin Family Army!?"
Hong Qi had seen the power and formations of Qin Tian’s troops on the front lines. Now, seeing the Flying Beasts in the distance, he hesitated for a moment and instantly reacted!
"What, the Qin Family Army?" Xie Zhiyang froze. "How many people came?"
Yin Yue Demon Venerate knew the exploits of Qin Tian’s Qin Family Army—victorious in every battle, unstoppable in every attack—and knew that this unit’s combat strength was unparalleled. So he asked Hong Qi, "You’re sure Qin Tian’s Qin Family Army is here?"
Hong Qi’s face was already filled with terror as he nodded. "It seems not only the Qin Family Army came—Qin Tian’s other forces are here too!"
"How did they enter the Myriad Demon Mountain Range? Over by the Heavenly Punishment Forest, why is there no reaction from the Tree Demons at all?!" Yin Yue Demon Venerate exclaimed in surprise.
Hong Qi was even more shocked. "Could it be that they broke through the Heavenly Punishment Forest and killed the Tree Demons?"
"Absolutely impossible!" Xie Zhiyang said resolutely. "The Heavenly Punishment Forest is shrouded in an illusory Formation. The more people there are, the stronger the confusion becomes. Once the numbers exceed a thousand, it will trigger the Heavenly Punishment might of the forest, forming a Heavenly Punishment Ring that is nearly impossible to cross!"
"Back then, even the Human Clan’s Long Jun was trapped within the Heavenly Punishment Ring and almost died. Look at this group—there are far more than a thousand of them. There’s no way they broke through the Heavenly Punishment Forest!"
"Then how did they get in?!" There was already anger in Yin Yue Demon Venerate’s voice.
Xie Zhiyang pondered carefully, then his eyes suddenly lit up as he roared, "Could it be that someone from the Yin Family told Qin Tian about that secret passage? That... that Yin Family is eating from one pot while digging at the other!"
"What secret passage?" Yin Yue Demon Venerate asked.
Xie Zhiyang said, "There is a secret passage in the Myriad Demon Mountain Range that allows one to enter and leave the range while bypassing the Heavenly Punishment Forest. I originally planned to lead our people out through that passage... I never thought Qin Tian would know about it! It must be someone from the Yin Family who told him!"
"Your Majesty, Family Head Xie, now is not the time to trace the cause. Qin Tian’s army has already closed in on us. We’re currently on the Second Peak, which is not our territory. I think we need to withdraw quickly—Qin Tian’s forces are overwhelming!"
Hong Qi calmed down and offered his suggestion to Yin Yue Demon Venerate.
Yin Yue Demon Venerate gazed into the distance. With his sight, he could tell that Qin Tian’s army had sent at least five thousand men!
And they only had a little over a thousand.
The disparity in strength was vast. On top of that, they were on the Second Peak with no reinforcements. Once they fell into a bitter battle, they would surely be driven into a dead end!
Without hesitation, Yin Yue Demon Venerate said, "We retreat!"
Rumble, rumble!
Yin Yue Demon Venerate and the others turned and tried to withdraw along the side path down the mountain. But as they turned, they discovered that whether it was the flanks or the rear, Qin Tian’s men had already surged up, their momentum overwhelming. Judging by the scene, Qin Tian had mobilized at least ten thousand troops!
"Your Majesty, we... we’re surrounded!" Hong Qi took a deep breath and said.
The sky was sealed, the ground intercepted—they were instantly plunged into a desperate situation!
At the same time, among Qin Tian’s forces, the leading unit raised a huge banner with the character "Qin" on it, written like a dragon soaring and a phoenix dancing—this was the military standard of the Qin Family Army!
The soldiers under Yin Yue Demon Venerate who had previously fought the Qin Family Army saw this banner and instantly felt their hearts turn cold, their morale collapsing!
"Your Majesty, what do we do?"
Xie Zhiyang, who had been so arrogant just moments ago, saw Qin Tian’s ten‑thousand‑strong army surround them, hemming their thousand men in from sky and ground like stuffing in a dumpling, and immediately panicked.
Yin Yue Demon Venerate’s face was ashen, his teeth clenched. "Looks like Qin Tian came prepared. He anticipated that I would appear, so he moved his army early to lie in ambush! Hmph, truly cunning!"
Yin Yue Demon Venerate’s expression was half smile, half snarl as he said angrily, "Now we have no way out. We’ll launch a fierce charge down the side and rear paths and carve a bloody way out! As long as we make it back to the Fifth Peak, Qin Tian won’t dare do anything to us!"
Yin Yue Demon Venerate took the lead to charge out, and at this moment Qin Tian soared into the sky, shouting at Xie Zhiyang, "Xie Zhiyang! Stop being so obstinate!"
"Today I’ve mobilized twenty thousand troops into the Myriad Demon Mountain Range—how can your Xie Family possibly contend with me?"
"Even if you could contend with me, Her Majesty the Empress, with hundreds of thousands of troops, will sooner or later attack the Myriad Demon Mountain Range to kill Yin Yue Demon Venerate’s own kin in revenge! Do you really want to aid a tyrant and try to stop a chariot with your arms?"
