Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 373 - 372 attacks

Zhou Bai then saw that apart from blood vessels and nerves, his Primordial Spirit had directly grown a skeleton as white as jade.

Although it was clearly a skeleton, it did not feel terrifying at all; instead, it was imbued with a sense of ease and freedom.

After seeing that the skeleton had finished forming, Zhou Bai quickly checked the introduction of the star points.

However, he discovered that only the basic attributes had been enhanced again, and no new abilities had appeared.

Zhou Bai thought to himself, "It seems that even if I use this green luck to enhance the star points, it's not always successful in obtaining new abilities, it probably needs to be enhanced to a certain level. If not, I'll just have to keep enhancing it."

However, Zhou Bai then looked at Xuan Nu with anticipation. The black Gui Hai Black Evil appeared again under Xuan Nu's feet, this time with a bit more, a streak of green luck rushed out and entered Zhou Bai's mind.

Xuan Nu turned her head helplessly and glanced at Zhou Bai again, "Be careful."

Zhou Bai looked at Xuan Nu's green luck, which was as weak as a flame on her body, smiled and said, "Sorry, I couldn't control it again, it won't happen next time."

...

While Zhou Bai was infiltrating Xuan Nu, continually siphoning luck, and seeking ways to provoke the relationship between Xuan Nu and the Heavenly Demon in preparation to prevent the grand war between the Heavenly Demon and humans,

in the sky above West Mountain City, dark shadows could occasionally be seen streaking across.

There were Heavenly Demons flying over the city and then beginning to attack West Mountain City.

Cannon fire whistled toward the ground, but just as the shells neared the airspace above West Mountain City, countless Sword Qi tore through the sky, grinding all the cannon fire into ash and blocking this attack.

The Array enveloping the entire West Mountain City was different from the Celestial Star Formation of Donghua City; it was a formation known as the 'Sword Array.'

This Array, like the usual style of the Jijian Pavilion, was full of aggressiveness, emphasizing offense without defense, and substituting offense for defense.

It responded to each attack not merely with defense but by directly tearing through with Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi contained within the Sword Array was accumulated over a hundred years by successive generations of monks from Jijian Pavilion.

Seeing their attacks to be ineffective, the few Heavenly Demons roared furiously. Under the drive of their killing instinct, their bodies transformed, rushed towards the city like missiles, and flew into mid-air where hundreds of Sword Qi shredded, tore, and evaporated them.

However, even as this batch of Heavenly Demon's assault was blocked, the citizens within the city felt not the slightest joy.

Because even the children knew that Heavenly Demons were indestructible; annihilating a dozen or so low-level Heavenly Demons had no effect on the overarching war.

Beginning from last night, the Heavenly Demons almost every few hours flew over West Mountain City, harassing the city with their attacks.

Under the relentless harassment, hardly anyone had a good night's sleep; the 200 million citizens of West Mountain City were all anxious about when the Heavenly Demons might breach the city.

Ying Hui, watching the Heavenly Demons being obliterated in the sky, spoke with a solemn face, "They know that under the compulsion of their killing instinct, even though they are aware they are no match, as long as they reach the airspace above West Mountain City, they would rather launch a suicidal attack than flee."

Ying Hui clenched his teeth, "These guys are doing it on purpose, sending low-level Heavenly Demons here to commit suicide."

Ying Hui, standing beside Zhao Shouyi, looked toward the sky, "They deliberately gave us the choice to hand over someone and then sent low-level Heavenly Demons daily to harass us. This would inevitably lead some to cave under the pressure and consider handing over someone, providing a way out for those individuals and preventing them from uniting wholeheartedly in the fight.

Thus, regardless of whether we ultimately decide to hand someone over or go to war, our morale has been suppressed to the extreme. It's an overt strategy and unavoidable."

Ying Hui managed a bitter smile, "If I were the Heavenly Demon, I would also take the opportunity to cultivate spies, spread rumors, and launch a public opinion assault to shake the military's resolve."

"Exactly," Zhao Shouyi said helplessly, "Compared to the Heavenly Demons of the past who mindlessly attacked and aimed to exterminate all humans, the current ones, who know how to recruit and not kill all humans, are even more terrifying and challenging to deal with."

While the two were discussing, Yun Chonghe came over, "What's this? You two are so free, here to watch Heavenly Demons commit suicide?"

Upon seeing Yun Chonghe, Ying Hui immediately asked, "Is the meeting over? What was decided? Are we still fighting?"

Zhao Shouyi also looked keenly at Yun Chonghe, "Is there someone who doesn't want to fight?"

Yun Chonghe sighed, "Handing someone over is out of the question, but to say that we should go on the offensive right away, no one dares to make that decision; everyone wants to wait for Heavenly Court's support."

At this moment, most people in West Mountain City didn't believe that humanity could defeat the incredibly powerful Heavenly Demons on their own; countless people were waiting for support from the Heavenly Court.

Just then, a cultivator ran over and said to Yun Chonghe, "It's not good, there's a spy from the Heavenly Demons spreading news in the city claiming that if we hand over 1000 cultivators, the Heavenly Demons will retreat."

The three of them changed their expressions at once, their looks toward West Mountain City filled with increasing worry.

The West Mountain City before them seemed like a ticking bomb; between cultivators and civilians, massive rifts were starting to appear.

...

"Civilians are no different than pigs and dogs."

In Qing Yangzi's office, government official Jin Zhan coldly said, "Let them keep on shouting. After a while, they'll stop, they will adapt to life again, forget the past, or get distracted by something new."

Jin Zhan looked at Qing Yangzi, "Our world belongs to the powerful. A powerful cultivator can change society—his thoughts, his actions can decide the fate of countless people.

And a civilian... no, even a hundred thousand, a million civilians combined, are not as important as a single ninth realm cultivator; their fates, their futures, are forever in the hands of the powerful."

Jin Zhan sighed, "But no number of cultivators can compare to a single deity or immortal."

Qing Yangzi: "Mr. Jin, just say what you want to say."

Jin Zhan said, "It doesn't matter how much the civilians complain. What's crucial is the Heavenly Court's opinion. Qing Yangzi, has there been any response from the Heavenly Court?"

Qing Yangzi shook his head, "It should be soon."

Jin Zhan: "Humans are no match for the Heavenly Demons on their own; if not for the support of the Heavenly Court, we'd have been annihilated long ago. It's the same for this great war; if the Heavenly Court keeps delaying their response, we might really have to hand someone over."

Qing Yangzi stared at him, "There's no need to say more, I will not agree to hand someone over."

Jin Zhan said, "But what if the Heavenly Court continues to delay their response? My people have inquired in Central City; even an insect can't get into the Thunder Department now."

Qing Yang: "The Heavenly Court won't abandon humanity. In this battle against the Heavenly Demons, the Heavenly Court and humanity are the most important allies; the Heavenly Court cannot fight the Heavenly Demons alone, so they must support humanity."
