Fairies cut down at the sky. Wang Yuehei killed and absorbed them in frenzy. His demonic appearance brought fear to the men who watched him from the ground.

Most of the fairies were invisible to physical eyes, for many men the fight almost seemed like a duel between Yue Guang and Wang Yuehei. Of course they knew about fairies and from those who had third eye skill, they knew that many other fairies helped Yue Guang to face Wang Yuehei.

Wang Yuehei's pressuring aura, spread all over the battle field. His army used that opportunity to push back the human army under Yue Guang's command.

Unlike the battle in Ningde, where the human army had numerous modernized weapon, missiles, grenades, rifles and artillery guns with them, Zhang Hu's army firearms was limited. Even after he occupy Nanping, not all of his 180,000 men were equipped with decent firearms. Now, that he left Nanping, those firearms and ammunition was left for those who defended the city.

No one objected, no one grumbled, after all their families were left inside the city.

That was why, in this battle, both sides used swords, spears and other middle aged weapons. Although firearms was limited, the supply of middle age armors and weapons were abundant. They came from extensive zombies hunting that raised their weapon proficiency and level. Watching the battle at Fuzhou was like watching a mixture of zombie movies and lord of the rings.

Men in armors with sword in their hands fighting against group of zombies. Sometimes magic attack flew here and there, destroying a large area and injured several people at once.

Everyone in this battle were men whose level above 10, but the number of zombies and their level wasn't low as well. Not to mention that they were led by demons. Under Wang Yuehei's pressuring aura, the casualties in Zhang Hu's army kept on piling. Once and a while, Wang Yuehei would send his long range magic attack to Yue Guang's human army below. Although it was a rare occasion since Yue Guang and the fairies did their best to pressure him, whenever Wang Yuehei did that, tens of men were injured and killed.

Slowly but steadily, Wang Yuehei's army pushed toward Fuzhou, once they broke through their opponent, they would be able to work together with their forces inside the city.

Zhang Hu's army who tried to hold them at the border of Fuzhou fought desperately.

With more fairies went to help Yue Guang to fight against Wang Yuehei, the pressure on Zhang Hu's men grew more intense.

Wang Yuehei was just too strong for Yue Guang. He began to laugh arrogantly. Wang Yuehei could see how the battle would end. Even if his army inside the city was completely destroyed, none of the fairies and humans were his match. Alone he could defeat them all.

But then from the center of Fuzhou, Zhang Hu flew toward the battle against Wang Yuehei's army.

Wang Yuehei just killed another fairies when he felt familiar aura moving toward him with blindingly speed. Within seconds the aura was getting stronger. He knew this aura well. He knew the one with this aura. Yet he couldn't believe his own sense.

Wang Yuehei stood in the air like a flying statue.

For the first time since the battle began, Yue Guang and the fairies could feel relieved. They knew what stopped Wang Yuehei from attacking them. The time they were waiting was finally arrived. Yue Guang sent the other fairies to help his human army with a swipe of his hand.

The progress of Wang Yuehei's army was halted, but he didn't pay any attention to that. Wang Yuehei's eyes was fixed at Zhang Hu's approaching figure.

---- o ----

Still tens of kilometers from Wang Yuehei, Zhang Hu flew toward him at his top speed. Within Zhang Hu's soul realm, the grand elder appeared.

"Zhang Hu, now it's the time for us to work together.", he said.

Zhang Hu stood within the restrictive formation, he asked in disbelief, "What? What are you saying now?"

"You know that we're fighting the demon lord's army today. The demon lord himself had came. Alone, I won't be able to defeat him. But together, we might have the chance.", said the grand elder.

Zhang Hu couldn't believe his own hearing, "You... after all you've done... you expect me to help you in your fight?"

The grand elder spoke, "My fight? Have you gone blind? Don't you see your men fighting down there? Isn't this the city you're fighting for? Aren't they fighting for their families and yours right now? What do you think will happen if we let the demon lord win city after city? My fight? My fight?"

Zhang Hu stood there silently. He understood all what he said, but how could he forget all the humiliation he felt for days, weeks and months?

"Are you still grieving for the thing I did to your wife?", the grand elder sneered.

"Would you like to see how the demon lord will treat her?", he asked.

Zhang Hu gritted his teeth.

"Hmph...! You want to be a king but your judgment is clouded by such petty thing?", the grand elder pushed him even further.

"Petty thing? Petty thing? You took advantage over my wife and you call it something irrelevant !? I have no ambition to be a king!!! I just want to save my family!!!", Zhang Hu roared in anger.

"So save your family now....", said the grand elder calmly.

"What...?", Zhang Hu stared him in disbelief.

He couldn't comprehend the grand elder at all. He acted like the devil himself, now suddenly he stood aloof, acting like a saintly angel.

"Your wife wasn't hurt at all. Wasn't she? So what's all these grievance coming out of you? Isn't that just your own petty selfishness? Your little petty pride of man? You refused to help me save your people, your family, just because I hurt your pride?", the grand elder asked.

"You...", Zhang Hu couldn't argue.

"We don't have much time. I'll erase the restrictive formation. I'll merge our consciousness. Your mind and my mind will be one. However your will and my will couldn't. In order for this to work, we should work together. Move along with me, as long as you could put aside all your grievance, this should work just fine. After all, both of us want to see this demon lord dead.", said the grand elder.

Without waiting for Zhang Hu's answer, he began to unravel the restrictive formation.

As his soul freed, Zhang Hu began to feel a weird sensation. He could freely move his body as he wish. He could sense everything through his five senses clearly. He was in him, again, after so many days a prisoner inside his own body.

But at the same time, he could feel the grand elder's mind in his mind. He could feel the grand elder's power in his body. He could feel the grand elder's fuming anger and hatred toward the demon lord.

He was the grand elder. The grand elder was him.

They were not the same, he still had his own will and he could feel the grand elder's own will. It was weird and an unexplained paradox.

"Stop thinking, focus your mind, your heart, your everything into one thing only.", Zhang Hu heard the grand elder spoke.

"Kill the demon lord!", they both spoke.

----

When Zhang Hu arrived, Wang Yuehei stared at him in disbelief, "You.... you still alive?"

But Zhang Hu just kept charging to him, without any words spoken, the fight was begun. Zhang Hu attacked Wang Yuehei fiercely with his chosen weapon, a steel spear weighted no less than 120 kg. Yue Guang didn't watch the battle passively. As soon as Zhang Hu attacked Wang Yuehei, Yue Guang charged to attack Wang Yuehei from another direction.

Wang Yuehei growled, "I kill you once and I can kill you once more! Die you dogs!"

Wang Yuehei's battle strength was indeed on another level. The grand elder's and Zhang Hu's combined strength still couldn't defeat him. Even with Yue Guang attacked him from another direction, Wang Yuehei could defend himself well and counter attacked once in a while.

It took quite some times for the grand elder to recover, after he separated half of his soul into Zhang Hu's. After he was strong enough to control Zhang Hu, his strength still a level below his self who fought against Wang Yuehei. Now, after he combined his soul with Zhang Hu's soul and receive a full cooperation, he was several levels above his self who fought against Wang Yuehei. Back then he fought alone, today he fought along with his son, Yue Guang.

But still, they couldn't defeat Wang Yuehei.

The fight was a fight that was never seen before. Zhang Hu and Yue Guang's speed and power. Their various techniques and magics. Against Wang Yuehei's resilience, power and viciousness. They fought for hours, the day changed into night and the fight went on and on.

Down below, both sides were resting. Although small skirmishes happened here and there, but the scale and intensity was apparently much less. In the cities, Zhang Hu's men built temporary bases, some were on guard duty while some were sleeping.

Wang Yuehei's strength surprised even the grand elder himself. By his calculation, he believed that with Zhang Hu's soul full cooperation and Yue Guang, he would be able to defeat Wang Yuehei.

"You grow a bit stronger.", Wang Yuehei laughed domineeringly.

Zhang Hu or the grand elder said nothing, he focused on attacking Wang Yuehei. Every time Wang Yuehei had a chance to counter attack them, it was a close encounter with death. If Zhang Hu and Yue Guang gave him more times, without doubt Wang Yuehei would be able to turn the tide of the fight.

The night turned into day. Zhang Hu's body was still a human body. Despite all the upgrade after the changes, it was still a human body. He began to show the sign of exhaustion. Wang Yuehei gained more and more upper hand. Zhang Hu and Yue Guang were struggling to defend themselves from Wang Yuehei's assault. But they still held on and fought valiantly.

"You must be surprised to see my true strength. Back then you fought me in my human form and managed to injure me a bit. Based on that, you think you have enough strength to defeat me?", Wang Yuehei kept on taunting.

"FOOL!!!", Wang Yuehei swung his battle axe with all his might.

Zhang Hu and Yue Guang blocked the attack with their weapons, despite their quick reflexes, the force threw them several meters away from Wang Yuehei.

At the same time, a great cheer was heard from Fuzhou and both Zhang Hu and Yue Guang showed changes on their expresion.

Zhang Hu or the grand elder spoke, "Demon, that cheer is the sign that we already cleared the entire city from your minions. We could fight for another day and night. We could fight for another three days and nights, without finding the winner and the loser. But even if you win, you'll only find the city in ruin. With one words from me, my men will burn everything before they left the city."

Yue Guang said, "We also sent some of the fairies to inform the army that was sent to Gutian Town, of your invasion to their main base, Ningde."

Zhang Hu said, "Leave Fuzhou, take your army back to Ningde, then perhaps you could win that city. Or you could stubbornly fight here and had none. I even have another army at Gutian Town, although I'm not so sure how well they will be, it's still possible for them to defeat your army there too."

Wang Yuehei growled, "Are you threatening me?"

Zhang Hu said, "No, simply negotiating with you. You have the choice of winning a city or burn everything to ashes. I want this city, but I'm prepared to burn it, once I see you're winning."

Since Wang Yuehei didn't make any move, Zhang Hu spoke more, "The land is vast, there are many other cities and towns. Let's have another battle in the future, when we won't lose everything in one battle."

Wang Yuehei opened his mouth, "Do you think I don't have the power to kill you all here and then go to Nanping and kill everyone there?"

Zhang Hu answered, "I doubt you have such power, but even if you do, what's the benefit your you in doing there? Mean while another demon already rule five big cities. Cities, not just as a piece of land, but with all its population, buildings, factories and such."

Wang Yuehei was fuming, "You flies....! Annoying scums! Insects!"

Zhang Hu and Yue Guang silently let Wang Yuehei cursed them and their kin. After all they knew they didn't have the strength to defeat him today. They simply wrote every curse in their mind and waited the day when they would be able to make Wang Yuehei paid ten folds of each of his curses.

Wang Yuehei finally calmed down, with much disdain he spitted on the ground.

What his decision would be? All the fate of those who fought in Fuzhou, Gutian and Ningde, as much as the fate of those who were waiting in Nanping, would depend on his decision.
