Chapter 456: War Restraint Methods
At noon that day, the ancient blue sea was two hundred miles away from the main island of Mieyue.

The dark army of demons swept in from the distant sky, bringing with it an overwhelming and terrifying demonic power.

The army of cultivators, mainly from the four True Spirit tribes, stood in groups on the sea, with solemn expressions, ready for battle.

In terms of the number of combat units, the four True Spirit clans, including the main force, the Moon-Destroying Clan, are at an absolute disadvantage. Even if the innate and even acquired monks participating in the war are counted, their number is only one-third of the demon army.

If the quality of the combatants is also taken into consideration, the gap will be even more terrifying. It can be seen with the naked eye that there are nearly 120 Demon Lords in the Demon Realm army, while the Moon-Destroying Clan has only more than 30 super-innate cultivators, a full four times gap in high-end combat power.

If such a battle situation occurs in other places, human cultivators will basically choose to retreat immediately and will not fight this self-inflicted battle.

But the four True Spirit tribes are different. They have strong confidence in their own combat effectiveness, and they also know that these special tribes must unite and not allow themselves to be bullied by the demon army, otherwise they will not be able to survive in the disaster realm in the future.

At this moment, on the ancient blue sea, the two armies were less than thirty miles apart, and a fierce battle was about to begin.

Wang Zhifan hid in the middle of the Moon-Destroying Clan's army, like an ordinary cultivator, completely inconspicuous.

Next to him, there was a dragon girl who was also very low-key. She was his Taoist partner, the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword.

"Sister Xi, I have added fate links to all the core troops. With the fate links, as long as they don't lose their composure, they won't be easily defeated.

We must stay calm later. Once the magic weapon of the Demon Lord appears, you will immediately follow me to break through and seize it."

Before the battle began, Wang Zhifan lowered his head slightly, looked at the Moon-Destroying Dragon Blade beside him with a nervous expression, and emphasized their main task again.

"I know...Brother Fan, I will fully cooperate with you."

After hearing this, a look of determination flashed across the dragon girl's eyes.

She knew that the task they were tasking would be extremely difficult, but she believed that they could do it, and they had to do it in order for the Moon-Destroying Clan to win the battle.

In fact, according to Long Dao's personal opinion, she would rather stand on the front line with the clan leader and others, liberating her true spirit body and fighting against the army of the demon world. Although it is extremely dangerous, it is more in line with her personality.

However, after everyone's discussion before the war, the leader of the Mieyue tribe decided to adopt a different strategy.

The clan leader asked her and Wang Zhifan to stay in the middle of the army as special forces to hide their strength, while other masters would go to the front to attract the firepower of the demon army. Once the magic weapon of the Demon Lord, which the four True Spirit clans feared, appeared, they would go to deal with it.

The main reason why this strategy is favored by everyone is naturally Wang Zhifan.

As one of the top five masters on the Demon Sealing List, Wang Zhifan's ability to charge into the formation and kill demons is definitely the best among everyone. And he is not a member of the four true spirit clans, so the Demon Lord's magic weapon will not have any suppression on him. It is naturally most appropriate to let him deal with the Demon Lord's magic weapon.

As for why Long Dao, a member of the Mieyue Clan, was assigned to Wang Zhifan's side, the reason is even simpler.

The leader of the Mieyue tribe knew very well that this great master would come to help them, and the main reason was because of the Mieyue Dragon Sword, so the Mieyue Dragon Sword must not have any mistakes.

The clan leader actually wanted Long Dao to stay behind the battle formation to avoid any accidents, but given Long Dao's personality, it was impossible to keep her from going to the battlefield, so it would be most appropriate to arrange her and Wang Zhifan together directly.

Wang Zhifan himself is extremely powerful, and Long Dao is also a young leader of the Moon-Destroying Clan and will not be a drag. The two have fought together many times in the past and are very skilled in cooperating. Wang Zhifan feels more at ease with Long Dao by his side and will be more motivated to complete the task.

The two men hiding in the center of the army had a brief exchange, and the battle officially began shortly afterwards.

First, more than one hundred demon lords in the demon army rushed to the front and surrounded the more than thirty super-innates from the Moon-Destroying Clan.

Although the masters of the Mieyue Clan were outnumbered, they were not willing to be outdone. Led by the tall old man with dragon horns and the clan leader Mieyue Aotian, they all burst out at full speed, crossed the blue sea, and rushed towards the more than a hundred Demon Lords who were surrounding them, quickly distanced themselves from the ordinary military formation behind them.

The top masters on both sides broke away from the military formation and collided with each other so tacitly, naturally in order to prevent the aftermath of the battle from affecting their own people, otherwise those mid- and low-end combat forces would probably suffer tragic losses and only one in ten would survive before they even join the battle.

Unlike high-end forces that can decide the outcome of a battle, mid- and low-end combat power generally plays a supporting role.

For example, when the enemy's high-end forces are pinned down by friendly masters, invade the enemy's territory on a large scale, kill the enemy's manpower, destroy the enemy's infrastructure, and complete the tedious post-war finishing work.

They are indeed not as powerful as the overwhelming number of high-level monks, but in many cases their absence will seriously affect the efficiency of the war, so they are still an indispensable part in this world.

boom! boom! ! boom! ! !

On the vast blue ancient sea, a war is about to break out!
Hundreds of Demon Lords came roaring in, each using earth-shaking methods to cover the pitifully small number of Moon-Destroying Party masters in the front.

A demon lord took out a mountain hundreds of feet high out of thin air and smashed it hard at Mie Yue.

However, a White Tiger tribe expert from Mie Yue's side suddenly smashed it into pieces with a punch, and countless stones scattered into the sea, killing large groups of curious sea fish that were watching.

There is a demon lord who is good at using the power of ice. Relying on the natural advantages of the ocean area, he spreads out a vast ice field, trying to freeze all the enemies in the ice condensed from the sea water.

However, upon seeing this, the super-innate masters of the Suzaku clan released endless heat from their bodies, quickly offsetting the Demon Lord's icy ability.

There are also demon lords whose fighting style is simple and unpretentious, and they rush forward bravely with sharp magic weapons in hand.

They were greeted by the super-innate masters of the Xuanwu clan, who were famous for their invincible body defense. Without using any weapons, they could fight one against two or even three or four Demon Lords, and use their peerless Vajra-like bodies to forcibly hold back the attacking powerful enemies.

Not to mention the powerful members of the Moon-Destroying Clan who practice the Great Way of the Azure Dragon's True Spirit. Their characteristics are balanced abilities, and they can deal with any type of enemy with ease.

Especially the leader of the Mieyue clan, Mieyue Aotian. This old man showed extremely terrifying fighting power without releasing his Azure Dragon body.

Just a few seconds after the battle began, he brazenly crushed the head of a Demon Lord who was rushing towards him with one claw, and at the same time turned around and kicked another Demon Lord who attacked him from the back into the sea, causing waves dozens of feet high.

"The Four True Spirit Clans are indeed worthy of their reputation. Although the Demon Lords have a four-fold numerical advantage, they are the first to suffer casualties." Outside the high-end power battle formation, Wang Zhifan was still hiding among the ordinary Moon-Destroying monks, observing the battle scene in the distance.

As a person who has killed nearly fifty Demon Lords and participated in many demon-slaying wars, he is very clear about the general combat power level of the Demon Lords.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to determine the winner between ordinary super-innate cultivators and ordinary demon lords in a short period of time unless there is an extreme restraint.

Just like what he saw now, the four True Spirit tribes were able to tie with the Demon Army and even have a slight advantage despite having fewer people. This was enough to prove that the combat effectiveness of the four True Spirit tribes was extraordinary and could not be compared with ordinary super-innate cultivators.

Hearing Wang Zhifan's whispered admiration, the Moon-Destroying Dragon Blade did not respond. Instead, she swept her eyes across the battlefield, trying her best to search for something.

In front of them, the army of monks from the Moon-Destroying Clan had already begun to fight against the demon army composed of demon generals and ordinary demons.

The second battlefield was initially formed and the bloody fight had begun. One by one, the demons or the Moon-Destroying people fell into the sea with screams, staining the sea with patches of red.

But they didn't pay much attention to the battle here, because they appeared here just to hide their tracks, not to be responsible for the war here.

To put it more coldly, victory or defeat on the second battlefield here will not affect the final outcome of the entire war. In order to win the war, they must keep their precious energy elsewhere.

"Why is there no movement? Are the demon army planning to use restraining magic weapons? If so, I will attack directly."

After a while, Wang Zhifan observed that the battles on both sides were so fierce that it was hard to tell which side had a clear advantage.

He was the only one hiding here with nothing to do, and the Moon-Destroying Dragon Blade beside him seemed to be increasingly unable to bear being ignored, so he came up with this plan in his mind.

After all, strategy is dead, but people are alive. If the enemy does not play according to their ideas, they have to change their thinking.

After a short while, the masters of the four True Spirit tribes and the Demon Lords were engaged in a melee. At this point, in a one-on-many situation, they consumed too much physical strength and gradually began to fall into a disadvantage.

When they found that the magic weapon of the Demon Lord that could restrain them had not appeared, they released their true spiritual bodies one after another, hoping to rely on the extremely powerful explosive power of their true spiritual bodies to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

In an instant, above the ancient blue sea, four types of true spirits of different sizes and auras appeared one after another, presenting a spectacular scene.

The largest one among them is naturally the Azure Dragon Spirit of Clan Leader Mie Yue.

Its length is probably several thousand feet, and its weathered and majestic dragon head is as huge as a small island reef. In comparison, it is nearly ten times larger than most other true spirits. A random flick of its tail can force many demon lords to flee in panic.

A certain Xuanwu true spirit is the second largest.

It looks like a turtle and a snake in one. Guqi's image carries a unique sense of majesty. The two heads can attack synchronously, and the defensive ability of the turtle shell is so strong that it is incomprehensible. It fearlessly rushes to the deepest part of the enemy camp alone, trying to destroy the formation of the demon lords.

The size of several White Tiger Spirits is smaller than most Azure Dragons and Black Tortoises, but they may be the strongest in terms of killing power.

All the White Tiger True Spirits were filled with an aura of murderous severity that made people feel blinded, as if they were white gods of death. When their figures flashed, the demon lords who were caught off guard would scream in pain, and would be seriously injured or even killed instantly.

The Vermillion Bird Spirit is undoubtedly the smallest of all the spirits, but they are extremely fast and their bodies are burning with magical flames. Wherever they go, even the blue waters of the ancient sea leave traces of flames.

Many demon lords were affected by the divine fire on them. They could not bear the burning pain and used various means to put out the fire.

Unfortunately, their actions were seen through by the Suzakus. With a flash of fire, they left horrific claw wounds on the bodies of many demon lords.

At the same time, the flames burning on the demon lords became more and more intense. Even if they sank to the bottom of the sea, they could not be extinguished. They were burned to ashes bit by bit.

In short, as the four true spirit clans liberated their true spirit bodies, they instantly turned the situation around after falling into a disadvantage, and began to suppress the demon lord's army which was four times their number, and the situation became very good.

Seeing this situation, Wang Zhifan could no longer hold back. He didn't want to be a spectator from beginning to end, so before Long Dao was about to speak, he said:

"Sister Xi, let's go too! Together we can give the demons the final blow!"

"Okay, Brother Fan!"

Then, the two figures instantly flew out of their hiding place, Wang Zhifan showed the epic Time Light Blade in his hand, and Long Dao drew out the twin swords of thunder and fire from his waist, and they rushed towards the area where the Demon Lords and the four True Spirit tribes were fighting.

Originally, Wang Zhifan thought that the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword would immediately use the body of the Azure Dragon to kill a lot of people, but he didn't expect that she had no intention of doing so at all, and seemed to be only prepared to fight the enemy in a normal state. However, when he approached the battlefield ahead, he quickly understood the reason.

Because there are currently more than thirty True Spirits on the battlefield, and their bodies are extremely huge, with the smallest being a hundred feet tall. This makes it easy for them to interfere with each other when fighting with the Demon Lords, and their combat efficiency cannot be maximized.

This is a natural problem brought about by the huge size and is difficult to avoid, so the Moon-Destroying Dragon Blade does not intend to get involved and add to the trouble, and directly fights the enemy flexibly in the normal dragon girl form.

Just when Wang Zhifan and the other man were about to reach the melee area, something strange happened!
Suddenly, a strong smell of blood visible to the naked eye rose from a large area of ​​the surrounding sea and quickly gathered in the sky!

Almost in the blink of an eye, a dark ball of light appeared in the sky. This ball of light quickly obscured the position of the sun, making the entire sky dark in an instant!
At the same time, this sea area began to be shrouded by an unusual dark aura, causing the nearly one hundred Demon Lords who were still fighting below to suddenly become more energetic and roar with excitement!
The huge true spirits seemed to be hit on the head by mountains. They began to stagger and almost lost their ability to fight!
The battle situation is about to completely tilt towards the demon world!
"Not good! The demons have indeed mastered the means to restrain the true spirits, and the degree of restraint is much greater than your clan leader has estimated!"

For a moment, Wang Zhifan was shocked. He turned his head and looked at the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword beside him.

However, he found that although she did not fall into the sea like the true spirits, her face had become very pale and her breath was a little unstable. It was obvious that she was seriously affected by the demon's restraint.

"Go into the tower quickly! Leave this to me!"

Without much thought, Wang Zhifan immediately took out his legendary treasure, the Black Tower, and took the Dragon Girl into it to prevent her from continuing to be affected by the external environment and falling into danger.

Immediately afterwards, his figure soared into the sky, and he used the Wind and Thunder Stepping on the Sky Art with maximum intensity to rush towards the black ball of light in the sky, intending to destroy it in the shortest time possible.
