If a fifth-level expert explodes, that's the situation. If the remaining eleven people explode in their camp, wouldn't they be completely wiped out?
"Yes, sir!" Subordinates must absolutely obey the orders of the police.
They immediately took out the bows and arrows that had been imbued with magic and fired them all at once.
"Qin Ming, what are you doing?" the person who was running back shouted immediately.
"Don't come any closer, or don't blame me for being ruthless." Qin Ming couldn't let these few people ruin all his capable subordinates.
Qin Ming's words ignited a surge of anger in the hearts of the eleven surviving experts. Was Qin Ming discarding them after they had served their purpose?
The eleven men were indeed skilled, and they were more than capable of dealing with the arrows. Although the arrows slowed their advance, they could not harm them at all.
They're not going back to escape now; they're going to get an explanation from Qin Ming!
"Don't take another step, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Qin Ming shouted, and suddenly a large, jet-black bow appeared in his hand, with a shiny black arrowhead pointing directly at the eleven men.
"The Demon-Transforming Arrow?" one of them exclaimed, recognizing the arrow and longbow with remarkable skill.
This is an extremely lethal bow and arrow, especially effective against people from the demon realm.
"Qin Ming, were you planning to kill us to silence us all along?"
"You're only talking about sacrificing those 60,000 troops; we're not included!"
Upon seeing the Demon-Transforming Arrow, the eleven people immediately lost control of their emotions and blurted out everything they should and shouldn't have said.
With a muffled thud, accompanied by the rumble of the ground collapsing, another fifth-level expert fell and exploded.
The shouts of those people, driven by their loss of control, made Qin Ming frown. He loosened his grip, and the Demon-Transforming Arrow flew out immediately.
It was so fast that it didn't even leave an afterimage in the air, and it pierced through the hearts of two fifth-level experts in an instant.
As their hearts were pierced, their bodies exploded.
The simultaneous explosion of two fifth-tier experts was indeed much more powerful. Even another fifth-tier expert who was seven or eight meters away from them was affected and suffered some minor injuries in his hasty dodge.
"Qin Ming, are you trying to wipe us out completely?"
The remaining experts, enraged, shouted and, disregarding whether they were trying to escape, rushed towards Qin Ming.
Unite our strength and smash it without mercy.
In an instant, what should have been a great war between the demon and monster realms turned into an internal conflict within the demon realm, leaving the people of the demon realm completely baffled.
Later, after overhearing snippets of conversation from those experts, I vaguely guessed what was going on.
The melee happened very quickly.
Qin Ming had brought 5,000 men, but after a chaotic battle with those experts, only a few hundred remained.
When the last master fell, Qin Ming closed his eyes in anguish.
The sight of bright red before his eyes caused him waves of pain in his heart.
He had seen bloodshed and death before, but such a crushing defeat was rare in his life.
Sixty thousand troops, twelve captured, and over four thousand of his trusted men... all perished in battle.
If he had died on the battlefield, and if it had some value, he would never have suffered like this.
These people died entirely at the hands of their own people, and were of no use whatsoever to the demon god or the demon realm.
Qin Ming squeezed his eyes shut, then painfully opened them. Everywhere he looked, there were corpses. The air was thick with the agonizing stench of blood. His hands hung limply at his sides, trembling slightly.
The demon god watched everything before him quietly, expressionless, as if this terrifying death had left no trace on his heart.
Although the demon realm didn't experience the same heart-wrenching pain as Qin Ming, the explosion involving over 60,000 people still had a significant impact on them.
For a moment, the whole world fell silent, with only the tireless breeze sweeping across the plains.
It stirred up fragments of blood-stained, broken sand mixed with flesh and blood, leaving mottled marks on the plain.
The wind blew silently, its mournful cries echoing...
It sounded like the silent roars of more than 60,000 soldiers, filled with resentment.
With a flick of his finger, the transparent barrier, now devoid of blood color, vanished abruptly, and the previously blocked stench of blood rushed in, filling the mouths of the demon realm's in a daze.
Many people couldn't help but vomit violently.
"My lord, I swear I will not rest until I avenge this humiliation!" The sounds of vomiting and coughing jolted Qin Ming out of his thoughts. He gritted his teeth, his bloodshot eyes wide, and roared.
Like the mournful cry of a wounded and trapped beast, it echoed across the vast plains, carrying far and wide...
The people of the demon realm subconsciously shifted their gazes to the demon god. Their minds were still numb, and they were unable to think for themselves.
The scene they had just witnessed was so shocking that it completely robbed them of their ability to think for themselves.
"Qin Ming, I'll pass those words on to you verbatim!" Liu Lanyan stepped forward, glaring angrily at Qin Ming, and pointed to the piles of corpses stacked high outside the border of the demon realm. "What do you want to do?"
Liu Lanyan's question left everyone stunned, completely baffled as to what she meant.
"What do you mean by sending these soldiers who can explode on their own to attack our demon realm?" Liu Lanyan questioned loudly. Because the scene was extremely quiet, everyone could hear Liu Lanyan's words clearly.
"If our demon army were to go into battle, and you were to accidentally invade our demon realm, how many of our demons would be killed or wounded?"
Liu Lanyan's questioning made some people grasp something in their minds. The answer was not yet clear, but it made them feel a chilling coldness, as if it were something terrifying.
"Liu Lanyan, what nonsense are you talking about?" Qin Ming retorted loudly. He already knew what Liu Lanyan was going to say, and that answer made his face change suddenly and his heart race.
"You just want to use these suicide soldiers to exchange for the lives of our demon army and people!" Liu Lanyan's words were like a thunderclap, resounding heavily in everyone's hearts.
His ears rang, and he stared in horror at the corpses beyond the border of the demon realm. His mind was filled with imagining what would happen if those demon soldiers rushed into the demon realm and exploded around them... The consequences were unimaginable...
How ruthless!
Qin Ming is ruthless!
The people of the Demon Realm are ruthless!
"Fortunately, the Lord did not fall for the trap and did not allow the demon army to break out. He set up a barrier to keep all your troops outside." Liu Lanyan continued, stating the facts that everyone had witnessed.
"Nonsense! This was all premeditated!" Qin Ming would never admit it, especially since he didn't know why 60,000 soldiers had exploded for no reason.
It's vaguely clear that Liu Lanyan is behind everything; it's definitely her!
"It was you, it was you who did this, wasn't it?" Qin Ming shouted as soon as he realized this.
The shocking events had thrown Qin Ming into complete disarray.
"Qin Ming, you are truly laughable. Sixty thousand soldiers, more than sixty thousand lives, me playing tricks? May I ask, how could I play tricks? Even if my mind has just been cleared by the Lord, how could a demon who has only just begun cultivating possibly go and cause trouble in your demon realm's army?"
Liu Lanyan readily admitted that her mind was now clear.
Now that she has asked her questions in a clear and logical manner, I believe that everyone in the demon realm has noticed them. Under the impact of the explosion of more than 60,000 lives, no one would doubt her small question.
With such a powerful figure as the Venerable One here, healing someone whose spirit has been broken is quite easy.
Besides, compared to her problem, the loss of over 60,000 lives seems to have a greater impact.
Liu Lanyan's questioning drew nods of agreement from the demons.
Even if the Lord is powerful, it's impossible for him to suddenly raise Liu Lanyan's strength to the point where she can freely enter and leave the demon realm's army.
"You...you..." Qin Ming's face turned pale with anger, and he was about to retort when Liu Lanyan's next words choked him up.
"Qin Ming, a general from the Demon Realm. Is this the kind of soldier you're sending to attack the Demon Realm? Such utterly incompetent soldiers, the lowest of the low. You're using them to attack the Demon Realm?" Liu Lanyan pointed to the side, in the direction of the Demon Realm's demon army.
They were all on high alert, their armor gleaming, and their strength was all at the first level of demonic power.
Looking at the demon soldiers who just died, which one was a first-tier demon?
Once the two sides were compared, it was immediately clear who was the winner and who was the loser.
After Liu Lanyan explained it, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
Oh, I see.
It turns out that Qin Ming didn't send people to fight, but rather sent those 60,000 soldiers to perish together with the people of the demon realm.
"Fortunately, fortunately, the Lord did not want to involve the people of the Demon Realm, and accidentally thwarted your conspiracy." Liu Lanyan said with a smile, then suddenly slapped her forehead and stared at Qin Ming with a sudden realization, "No wonder you interrupted me several times just now and were so eager to attack. It turns out that you were trying to catch up with this time."
Liu Lanyan's words immediately provoked a backlash from the demons, who all glared angrily at Qin Ming.
Fortunately, Liu Lanyan and Qin Ming managed to buy some time, and even more fortunately, the Lord set up a barrier, preventing them from being affected.
Qin Ming is truly ruthless; he actually came up with such a vicious method.
"They're willing to sacrifice even their own soldiers, and the experts they've invited are mercilessly killing each other. Qin Ming, did you orchestrate this? Was it a trap you set to deal with the demon realm?"
Liu Lanyan questioned loudly, glaring at Qin Ming with righteous indignation: "Is my sister Xinya just your bait?"
"Nonsense, how could I be bad to my wife?" Qin Ming immediately bristled at the mention of Liu Xinya.
His feelings for Liu Xinya were absolutely genuine, so he was naturally unhappy to hear Liu Lanyan say such things about him.
"Isn't that right? Why did you, as her husband, not only fail to look for Sister Xinya after her sudden disappearance, but instead send these strange, explosive soldiers to attack the demon realm! Tell me, was this all planned in advance? Did you kill Sister Xinya?"
Liu Lanyan pressed him relentlessly, gradually tormenting Qin Ming's nerves.
"Qin Ming, you're truly ruthless. You don't even spare your own wife." Liu Lanyan sneered, looking at Qin Ming with disdain. "Indeed, you treat even the experts you hired as weapons, willing to die together with them, let alone a woman? A woman you can have at any time is naturally just a tool for you to use."
Liu Lanyan deliberately spoke so negatively about Liu Xinya, desperately trying to provoke Qin Ming.
"Nonsense! Xin Ya is not a tool. She's alive and well!" Qin Ming roared furiously, his eyes bloodshot.
"Oh, so Sister Xinya is alive and well." Liu Lanyan sighed, then shut her mouth.
She was so quiet, as if the sharp-tongued person from just moments before hadn't been her at all.
Liu Lanyan nestled obediently against the Demon God, like a quiet little kitten, blinking her eyes innocently as she looked at Qin Ming, who was trembling with anger.
Seeing Qin Ming trembling uncontrollably, she was still a little worried, afraid that Qin Ming would shake himself to pieces.
The demon god glanced at Qin Ming; the matter here was no longer his concern.
He turned around, nodded to the Demon Lord, put his arm around Liu Lanyan, and flew back to Wuchen Residence.
Qin Ming's attack was a complete failure.
They lost completely.
It was only at this moment that he understood why Elder Li had told him to pay more attention to Liu Lanyan.
He thought Liu Lanyan would interfere when the demon and monster realms were at war, but he never expected that she would have already sabotaged things before they even happened.
He couldn't understand why these people would explode on their own.
