Chapter 256 - 253 Light
At this moment, Gu Jinlai had already reached the city wall.
Clad in ordinary attire, he held a sabre of lower quality compared to the supreme grade spirit artifact he had wielded before, surveying the distance.
To honor the Cheng Ying Sword that was sacrificed in the battle outside Dragon Roar City, Gu Jinlai didn’t change the name of his newly equipped sabre.
It remained Cheng Ying.
Moreover, unless something unexpected happened, it was likely that tonight would mark the end of this new Cheng Ying Sword’s service.
At the edge of vision, the leading Great Demons were closing in.
Twenty-odd miles behind them, the regular influx of Devils were also rolling in.
To avoid artillery fire, a large number of Devils dispersed in all directions, creating a seemingly boundless and suffocating pressure.
Standing beside Gu Jinlai was Gu Chifeng, the commander of the Demon God Guards.
The voice echoing in Gu Jinlai’s ears was from the command center, transmitted through the Thousand-mile Light and Shadow Mirror by Gu Chaoyang: "Patriarch, according to the Life Radar data, this series of barrages has killed close to thirty thousand Devils, but there are still over forty thousand Devils surging toward our Yuntian City at full speed. Given our current strength... the odds of victory are high, but... it’s likely to be a pyrrhic victory."
