Free Web NovelChapter 507: Chapter 124: Absolute Defense
Wu Jiu smoothly changed the topic.
Before long, on the outskirts of the high tower, facing the direction of a city, human forces began to deploy their defense. This Chapter starts with:
...
...
At last, the sun had set, and the sky turned a deep ink blue.
The night wind from the western part of Meinan often carried with it swirls of yellow sand.
More and more high tower warriors surged out from the teleportation stele.
Under the guidance of Yin Shuang, Zheng Yue, Wang Su, and Wu Jiu, these warriors were divided into various teams.
From their initial confusion, they quickly became a force ready for battle in a very short time.
All of the Xie Family’s portable weapons were also brought to the battlefield via the teleportation stele.
In the distant sea, a massive cruise ship was sailing towards Meinan’s port.
On the deck, the cape of the captain, with the wind whistling through it, and the three generals behind him, could already make out the silhouette of the high tower in the distance.
The hubbub of the night gradually faded away.
Out on the outskirts of the high tower, a slight vibration was felt from the ground.
In these slight tremors, it seemed as if every warrior outside the high tower could hear their own heartbeat.
In the darkness in the distance... Suddenly, there was light and shadow, and numerous creatures with strange shapes formed twisted silhouettes.
Feeling the low growl from ahead tearing through the quiet, the Investigation Corps, former Garrison Corps, all mercenaries inside the high tower, and the private armies of various rulers, all gripped their weapons tightly.
As the presence from afar grew larger and more oppressive, the former leader of the Investigation Corps and now the Patriarch of the Qin Family, Qin Zong, pointed his sword towards the direction of Evil Fallen City:
Her figure was unbelievably not slower than Wu Jiu.
The countless attacks launched by humans against the Black Mist were like arrows of fire!
At that moment, Li You instantly changed his shape.
Myriad Forms Doomsday Shape Entry—Super Gigantification.
Myriad Forms Doomsday Shape Entry—Unparalleled Monstrous Strength.
Suddenly, the human allied forces in front halted in their tracks.
"My god... what is that thing?"
At the forefront, of course, there were Wang Shi and Lin Wurou.
The two charged at the front, about to be swallowed by the Black Mist.
But on seeing the huge monster ahead, they stopped in shock.
It was an insect, waving a giant scythe.
The Insect Queen.
And it was the Insect Queen after super gigantification.
Almost the entire battlefield saw, under the contour of the night sky, the Insect Queen’s exposed chest, her enchanting face, and her wasp-waist that was plump like the rear of a bee.
Myriad Forms Doomsday Shape was essentially a high-end version of Qu Li’s shape-shifting ability.
It allowed Li You to obtain not only the abilities of his opponents but also to hijack their outer forms.
However, the difference was that Li You needed to completely devour them.
Over these seven hundred years, Li You had devoured many creatures.
Most of these creatures were at the top of the food chain, which included the Insect Queen from the Fungal Mat Plain who had nearly killed Wu Jiu before.
Facing the untold amounts of human gunfire, Li You was like a battleship on the river facing countless arrows of fire.
With her scythe swaying, a gale howled.
The ground was instantly cleaved by her into a deep chasm.
Even humans would find it difficult to cross this ravine.
Initially, Qin Zong and the others thought that this creature belonged to the ranks of Evil Fallen.
But soon, an advisor with Enhanced Vision said:
"Captain Qin... the charge has stopped! The charge has stopped! The Black Mist is starting to disperse as well!"
The flashes of the human weaponry were blocked for a few seconds by the massive body of Li You.
But soon, as Li You transformed back into human form once again, countless flashes pierced through the air above the ravine.
The Black Mist, which used to swallow all light—was gone.
Human weapons burst into blooms of destructive fireworks amidst the tide of Evil Fallen.
The huge ravine was the work of Li You’s hands.
And the disappearance of the Black Mist was Wu Jiu’s doing.
The moment Li You transformed into the Insect Queen, Wu Jiu plunged into the Black Mist.
It was an absolute darkness capable of swallowing light, but Wu Jiu had been blind for a long time before that.
Because of this... he evolved the Sequence Heart Net.
The electricity-like slashes were merciless; the creature releasing the Black Mist was a rather large turtle-shaped being.
Countless "smokestacks" grew from the back of this turtle-like creature.
The Black Mist erupted from there, capable of swallowing all sources of light and carrying a certain neurotoxic effect.
But now, it had been sliced into hundreds of pieces.
Qin Zong and the staff officer sighed in relief, having worried that the charge would lead to the premature destruction of the vanguard units.
But this crisis had been resolved in an instant, thanks to the cooperation between Wu Jiu and Li You.
Although the huge ravine had blocked the charge, it had also formed a trench.
Many smaller Evil Fallen would have to stop once they stepped into this area.
This also gave humans the chance to focus their fire.
Qin Zong was not idle, decisively giving an order at this moment:
"Support units with equipment, move out, medical units, move out!"
All equipment has times of overload and energy depletion, and going to the High Tower for replacements would have an interval of more than ten hours.
So to ensure a continuous stream of firepower, Qin Zong also set up units specifically for transporting and repairing equipment.
This method of combat was very traditional, and if Bai Wu were here, he would almost find it a copy of the Battle Tactic Shepherd.
But in this kind of plain-like terrain, it indeed was the best method of combat.
The advantage was its orderliness, but the drawback was...
If the strongest vanguard forces of humanity could not withstand the onslaught of Evil Fallen at the front, then everything would crumble.
"Based on the intelligence we’ve received, we should also have Evil Fallen forces on our side. Where have Liu Mu, Nie Chongshan, and that annoying Mirror Evil Fallen gone?" Qin Zong asked.
If there were a few powerful forces like Wu Jiu to take over at this time, the pressure on humanity would be greatly reduced.
The jump drives of Nie Chongshan and Liu Mu had been impromptu, so no one knew where the two had gone.
As for the Mirror Evil Fallen...
Owing to his loathsome and hateful nature, to avoid disturbing and interfering with others, he hid in a corner.
While everyone else was sitting in a luxurious command room, only the Mirror Evil Fallen was hiding in an unoccupied cargo hold.
Fortunately, the flight path of the flying vehicles had been set by Zero, which could be considered unmanned.
Otherwise, the Mirror Evil Fallen might have flown half the world before landing when the fuel was exhausted.
In short... for various reasons, the Mirror Evil Fallen was en route on a flight.
And he had not yet realized—that the entire vehicle was spotlessly empty of people.
Even Liu Mu and Nie Chongshan were gone, leaving only him waiting to be told—he had reached his destination.
He was even secretly pleased to have such extensive camaraderie with so many people over seas and mountains.
...
Qin Zong was very anxious.
The current situation was such that, although the ravine could slow down the Evil Fallen’s offensive slightly, the effect was extremely limited.
Many Evil Fallen had already crossed that line of defense.
And although the human vanguard forces were equipped with the best gear, their combat power was inadequate compared to those Evil Fallen who, after countless mergers, formed powerful Legions—there was too much disparity in strength.
Qin Zong suddenly realized that, although it was called a High Tower defense battle, perhaps the disparity in strength this time was even more pronounced than it had been during the initial refuge shelter crisis...
For humanity to face and stop, let alone annihilate, such a terrifying tide of Evil Fallen was nearly an impossible feat.
In the brief moment Qin Zong was stunned, dozens of Evil Fallen had already flown across the sky.
Giant fissures appeared on the ground, and from within them, massive vines like pythons coiled around prey, crushing dozens of vanguard soldiers into a burst of flesh and blood.
Among these fused Evil Fallen, there were several extremely powerful individuals who had, in absolute silence, infiltrated humanity’s midsection.
By Yin Shuang’s side, suddenly appeared a giant with two heads, blue skin, and wielding a Wolf Fang Club.
Its movements were so agile that Yin Shuang couldn’t react in time. This nimble ’fat man’ suddenly appeared near the medical team.
A sweep of its club struck down, turning more than a dozen members of the medical team into a spray of blood and flesh.
Only Yin Shuang had activated her Sequence Refraction Shield, and was unharmed.
But the Refraction Shield was not an absolute defense.
After several consecutive strikes, Yin Shuang held off the twin-headed Evil Fallen’s frenzied attacks, but all of that happened within just two or three seconds.
To hold out until the next Refraction could be activated was clearly impossible.
Just as the Refraction Shield finally shattered, the giant twin-headed monster’s Wolf Fang Club struck again. Yin Shuang had no room to retreat, and in that moment, her mind flashed with many images...
There was Gu Qingyu, Bai Wu, Lin Wurou, and many, many other faces.
In the end, she saw her own mother.
She closed her eyes, waiting for the Wolf Fang Club to crush her to pieces.
But suddenly, the sound of exploding flesh and blood rang out, and Yin Shuang opened her eyes, only to witness a bizarre scene.
The massive Wolf Fang Club had hit the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and putrescence. In the place where the twin-headed Evil Fallen had been, there was no Evil Fallen left, just a mist of blood...
What happened?
Yin Shuang looked around but saw nothing.
The people nearby were also puzzled, how could such a powerful Evil Fallen... suddenly explode?
Was it the captain who saved me?
No... the captain is still at the front.
Yin Shuang had a vague idea of what might have happened, but she wasn’t sure.
From behind.
A bird seemingly engulfed in flames swooped down with other flying Evil Fallen at an incredibly swift pace, clearing the chasm.
Before anyone could react, it already started to ram into the High Tower!
Countless human weapons tried to shoot down these aerial assailants.
But they were simply too fast to aim at.
Just when everyone thought the High Tower was about to be hit, sudden vortexes appeared out of nowhere.
A bird even larger than a condor emerged from one of the vortexes.
This bird of prey, in a wild frenzy, collided directly with the flame-bird.
The air raid corps of Evil Fallen behind it were ensnared by violet whips shooting out from the vortexes.
The Garrison Corps’ guardian of the Wang Family, Wang Su, joined the battle to defend the rearguard of the High Tower defense battle.
Sequence, Hundred Beasts Transformation, Void Lash.
The powerful aerial squadron was subdued by her single-handedly.
However, the effect of the Void Lash was limited and it was difficult to completely bind these powerful Evil Fallen.
"What a fierce woman... Last time I saw you transform, you became a tigress, and now you’ve turned into an eagle preying on chicks," said Zheng Yue.
Zheng Yue and Wang Su, two guardians from the ruling families, were considered the last line of defense for the tower.
"Don’t stand there making idle comments, I can’t keep them restrained for long with my power, these Evil Fallen are too strong... before the next wave of attack arrives..."
The avian-formed Wang Su, with sharp talons, tore open the wings of the flame bird while roaring at Zheng Yue.
Zheng Yue laughed and said,
"Although you’re not my ideal partner, I’ll let you see the fruits of my recent efforts."
After Wu Jiu left, Zheng Yue had a premonition that the next time he saw Wu Jiu, the latter would probably become the true number one among humanity.
He didn’t want to be left too far behind by Wu Jiu. Lazy people hate changing their current lifestyle the most, yet for Wu Jiu’s sake, Zheng Yue had to make a change.
Zheng Yue was a genius, and he was lazy because he found most things too easy to learn and thus uninteresting.
Therefore, once he took an interest in something, he would make rapid progress in the related field.
"Watch closely!"
The flying Evil Fallens in the sky suddenly gave up trying to break free from the Void Lash.
It was as if they had all entered a dream at the same moment, their eyes closed, falling from the sky one by one.
Zheng Yue had one eye open and one eye closed.
Wang Su looked at Zheng Yue, her face full of astonishment; she had never seen such a use of Mirror Flower, Water Moon.
Because, as usual, Mirror Flower, Water Moon seemed like a compulsory control technique that forced the opponent into a state of sleep.
This sequence created a special environment for the caster and the affected, and anyone approaching that environment would also be dragged into the dream.
It was equivalent to forcing the opponent into another battlefield.
This was undoubtedly a powerful sequence.
However, the side effect was clear—it would cause the user to enter the dream as well.
So once the sequence was activated, Zheng Yue had to defeat the opponent in the dream before he could wake up.
If he couldn’t defeat the opponent, or due to some randomness in the dream that put him at a disadvantage...
Then there was the possibility that he would never wake up.
This was also why Zheng Yue was utterly defeated by the merchant during their first encounter.
Even in the dream, he couldn’t beat the merchant with his array of tools.
Therefore, Zheng Yue’s Mirror Flower, Water Moon often required an assistant.
In the dream, he provided various boosts to the assistant and together, they would kill all the enemies in the dream.
But this time was different...
This time, Wang Su could clearly feel—Zheng Yue was awake.
He had one eye open and one eye closed.
Even though he had dragged the Evil Fallens into the dream, he remained conscious himself.
"How is this possible... Did he really overcome the biggest drawback of this sequence?" Wang Su wondered, amazed at Zheng Yue’s incredible growth.
Anyone approaching Zheng Yue’s space now would be pulled into the dream.
"How... How did you do it?" Wang Su asked Zheng Yue, her face filled with disbelief.
Zheng Yue smiled and said:
"It’s just a sequence progression. Isn’t this standard for High Tower guardians? Surely there is nobody whose sequence hasn’t progressed, right?"
Wang Su didn’t pay attention to Zheng Yue’s swagger.
After the Mirror Flower, Water Moon progressed, when it was activated, one could control both oneself in the dream and in reality at the same time.
It meant that while he was restraining the opponent in the dream, he was also able to kill the opponent in reality.
Zheng Yue cracked his neck:
"Brace yourself... I don’t want to move to a shelter. Although it’s nice there, I still feel... the High Tower is more comfortable."
Wang Su nodded.
"From now on, we are not just guardians of our respective families; we are guardians of the High Tower."
...
...
The battle had only just begun.
The invaders in the middle section were eliminated by a strange force, and those in the rear were dealt with by Zheng Yue and Wang Su’s joint efforts.
The crisis Qin Zong thought was at hand was resolved, for now.
But his heart was not at ease, for the difference in strength between humanity and the Evil Fallen had not diminished.
Yet soon, good news unexpectedly came from the front.
"Captain Qin... look ahead!"
Qin Zong was puzzled, listening to the staff officer’s tone which seemed very excited. He picked up the binoculars and looked ahead.
That instant, Qin Zong himself became excited.
"How is this possible... The Evil Fallen in front ahead are actually retreating?"
An unimaginable scene unfolded.
These monsters, which had undergone countless integrations to finally become ninth-level Evil Fallen, were so powerful, yet they were retreating.
Facing the terrifying blade light, facing the net formed by countless straight cuts...
The powerful tide of Evil Fallen actually couldn’t advance half a step.
The human vanguard troops in front had actually stopped in their tracks, utterly shocked by this sight.
"Is the captain still human? What has he been through in this half a year he’s been out?" Shang Xiaoyi couldn’t imagine.
This cutting net that stretched for hundreds of meters—it was actually accomplished by the captain.
"This cutting makes my trypophobia act up," Lin Wurou quipped.
Wang Shi’s blood boiled:
"This is the body of a mere mortal, on par with the gods!"
It wasn’t the Evil Fallen retreating; it was that figure advancing!
The powerful Evil Fallen charging forward, under this net of blades, were cut into countless pieces.
Because of the extreme speed, in the hundreds of meters of space, that figure seemed to appear everywhere simultaneously.
Qin Zong’s mouth fell open...
The problem he thought was extremely troublesome had been solved by Wu Jiu alone.
While it was shocking, it actually made sense.
For the guards of High Tower, numbers were already meaningless.
If there was any glimmer of hope in this battle, it was to rely on those powerful individuals!
"High Tower... triumphs because it has Qingyu!"
He shouted this sentence excitedly, and his staff officer also boiled with passion.
Unbelievable, that one person with a sword could make these Evil Fallen continually retreat!
On the battlefield ahead, Wu Jiu was indeed striving to kill, but it wasn’t just him alone with a sword.
Evil Fallen Must Die, the personal carry sword, was damaged during fight after fight after Wu Jiu entered Denglin City.
Wu Jiu’s experiences in Denglin City hadn’t brought him a rise in combat power on a data level.
But after over a thousand battles, faced with an overwhelming assault, dense enemies... Wu Jiu was now able to make good use of his Sequence, his perception, his combat experience, his combat intuition...
Finding the most efficient path of combat.
Combined with Instant Shadow, he indeed could appear everywhere within hundreds of meters, seemingly at all times...
But to kill so many powerful Evil Fallen, it was very difficult for Wu Jiu alone.
There were two Wu Jius on this battlefield!
"Li You!"
"I’ve said, there’s no need to shout it out!"
The other Wu Jiu, was none other than Li You transformed. Her tone seemed somewhat impatient.
As Wu Jiu’s extension in Li You’s Myriad Forms Doomsday Shape, one could say that in a state of connected senses, the two almost had a tacit understanding.
But Wu Jiu was still inclined to shout out...
Because he found that actually, Li You’s speed was still a beat slower.
Compared to his cooperation with Bai Wu, even if Li You shared his senses, it still wasn’t as in sync as he was with Bai Wu.
If it weren’t for the over a thousand times of cooperation with Bai Wu, Wu Jiu believed Li You would be the most in sync with him in combat.
But now... he could distinctly feel, a tiny gap away from perfection.
It was very slight, yet it was like an insurmountable chasm, unreachable.
Li You had transformed into Wu Jiu, and as for the knife in his hand, it was conveniently taken from an Evil Fallen.
Thus, two Wu Jius swung their knives at the fastest speed, charging forward simultaneously.
They woven together into a vast net.
Li You could sense some of the emotions in Wu Jiu’s heart.
She vented her anger, her speed becoming faster and her strength heavier!
But no matter how much she increased her speed or strength...
It seemed impossible to close even the slightest gap between seamless cooperation and perfect harmony.
Li You vaguely understood that perhaps the coordination she had sensed earlier between Wu Jiu and someone in Denglin City—
could not be emulated merely through matching strength and speed.
The angrier she thought about it, the stronger she became.
The sky full of knife shadows, incredibly, two-thirds of them were not from Wu Jiu but from Li You.
Their combined forces were like a net of death, a barrier intercepting between the vanguard and the Evil Fallen!
This barrier kept advancing, and the hundreds of thousands of Evil Fallen within the city were continually pushed back... only a few air raiders managed to slip through.
But what awaited them was the artillery fire of the Pioneer troops!
The members of the charge team, carrying a belief in certain death, even harbored a fleeting thought that they could win at this instant.
But soon, an Evil Fallen that had become immune to all physical attacks during the fusion process appeared!
It was a giant white bear with six arms.
Facing the slashing net formed by Wu Jiu and Li You, the bear simply passed straight through it.
Unharmed.
"Li You! Retreat and block it!"
Wu Jiu was very powerful, a good captain who convinced others with logic.
But once physical means failed to persuade the opponent, he too became helpless.
Countless artillery fire was directed at the white bear, but the bear didn’t have any process of dodging.
Perfect level Mutation Entry: Absolute Softening.
The bear was massive but seemed like a phantom that didn’t exist, any attack that landed on it just passed through.
The bear roared angrily.
Perfect level Mutation Entry: Shattering Roar.
The ground cracked, and the dense artillery fire instantly halved.
Becasue the members of the charging team had to cover their ears, resisting the immense pain brought by the sound waves!
The dense cutting net finally became sparse.
Li You instantly fell back in defense.
But even Li You, who could simultaneously use dozens of different attribute attacks... was also unable to harm the white bear.
In the city of Evil Fallen, where countless monsters had fused, the strongest defensive entry created... left everyone at a loss for a moment.
They couldn’t trap it, harm it, or block it.
And as Li You fell back in defense, more and more monsters began to permeate through Wu Jiu’s cutting net.
At the same time, Shattering Roar caused harm to those who got close to the white bear.
The giant sound waves even cut off communication among humans.
The only sound between heaven and earth was the white bear’s piercing roar.
"So noisy, if you weren’t that loud, I could have let you continue to charge forward. I really want to see if the Evil Fallen can touch the High Tower."
Just when the situation was about to worsen, the strategist of Qin Zong noticed that a slightly hunched golden-haired man had appeared in front of the white bear.
The golden-haired man’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
Behind the golden-haired man was an excessively muscular man with overly prominent muscle lines.
Many people in the High Tower recognized the person standing in front of the white bear. It was none other than the former ruler, Liu Long.
And behind Liu Long, there was a young man with a gloomy demeanor and a somewhat sickly pale complexion.
The Guardian of the Pang Family, Pang Li.
Suddenly, the white bear could no longer advance.
The many methods employed by Li You passed through the white bear without inflicting any damage.
But she still saw it—the reason the white bear stopped its charge was because it got tripped by a shadow.
Sequence, Demon Shadow Form.
"No matter how illusive you are, in the face of light and shadow, you are a real entity. Demon Shadow Form, I’ve caught you."
The white bear was in a rage, yet it couldn’t break free from the shadow.
Wang Su and Zheng Yue at the back also witnessed this scene.
As fellow Guardians, everyone was well aware that Yan Zizai might be the strongest in terms of overt power, but in certain specific places... it was Pang Li who was the most terrifying of them.
And such a specific place was right now—the night.
Under the cover of darkness, no one could see the movements of the shadows.
The blonde man was none other than Cain.
As Cain’s gaze met with Li You’s, Li You turned her head and returned to the front.
She still looked like Wu Jiu, so Cain couldn’t tell who the real Wu Jiu was.
He treated the person in front of him as Wu Jiu.
Although he had always wanted to seize Wu Jiu to be a vessel, at this moment, Cain was quite fond of his new toy.
At the forefront.
Li You returned to the very front and fought side by side with Wu Jiu once again.
The terrifying net of slashes covered everything. The Evil Fallen, who had just begun to see some hope, were once again slaughtered.
Wu Jiu didn’t know what had happened behind him, but seeing Li You return, he thought the danger had been eliminated.
...
Indeed, the danger had been eliminated. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
The white bear’s eyes held a provocation, and it seemed to carry a certain contempt when looking at Cain.
In the city of Evil Fallen, it had avoided fusion with other Evil Fallen time and again thanks to its incredibly delicate body that felt like air.
It was always the one to initiate a fusion and ambush others, but it was rarely ambushed itself.
To trap such an immense creature with Demon Shadow Form was also a test of strength.
The white bear believed that it would soon be able to tear Cain apart with its own hands.
But what happened next remained incomprehensible to it until its death.
Behind Cain, the muscular man suddenly leapt into the air.
The white bear snorted in disdain, perceiving the muscular brute as someone who would use brute strength.
And of all the modes of attack... it feared brute strength the least.
So it thought, but in the next second... its body began to shatter! Its heart was pierced directly by the powerful force of the punch.
This muscled brute in the eyes of the white bear was a madman capable of injuring Bai Wu, who had drunk the Well Water, with a single punch.
In that battle inside the High Tower, even with the Envy Greatsword as a shield, Bai Wu couldn’t completely negate the power of this punch!
Because this was not an ordinary attack, not merely a physical impact... but absolute destruction!
Sequence, God of Destruction.
Among the top twenty Sequences, it was the most purely combat-oriented!
Pang Li, now Cain’s vessel, utilized the darkness of the night to activate Demon Shadow Form and trapped the opponent with the vast shadows within the night.
Then, utilizing Vessel Number Two, Liu Long, he executed the most extreme obliteration—God of Destruction, directly killing the opponent!
The first punch—Liu Long’s God of Destruction drew a twisted trajectory through the night, piercing through the giant bear’s chest.
The second punch—Liu Long directly followed the chest cavity with a rising dragon motion, puncturing the neck, the trachea, and finally bursting out of the skull!
Two punches were executed in quick succession, and the disturbing sonic wave came to an abrupt end.
Because of the ringing in their ears, everyone felt as if the battlefield had suddenly fallen into silence.
Such a formidable opponent... was resolved in an instant.
Qin Zong suddenly realized that as a commander, he might no longer be needed.
"If the rulers of these High Towers... had not resisted exploration but supported humanity’s expansion..."
"Perhaps humanity wouldn’t have been pushed to this scene?"
Qin Zong was deeply shocked.
These powerful individuals time and again resolved crises.
Whether it was the previous aerial attackers, the Black Mist Source encountered by the charge troops, or the white bear just now, these monsters were definitely extremely difficult to deal with.
But humans... were even more powerful!
The blonde Cain watched the scene, overjoyed:
"The actual combat effect is quite decent. Although you two are not on par with Bai Wu and Wu Jiu, you can produce some kind of chemical reaction."
By restraining the opponent and then dealing a devastating blow, Cain seemed to have found the right way to use the top twenty sequences.
Order on the battlefield was restored, and no one knew whether these fused Evil Fallen would still produce some powerful aberrations.
But Li You, Wu Jiu, Cain, Zheng Yue, Wang Su... and some hidden powerhouses lurking in the dark, had already reached their optimal state.
The battle line did not fall back, it was even advancing continuously.
As the commander of the Human Allied Forces, Qin Zong only hoped... that there would be no complications in this battlefield.
No emergence of Well Level entities that would lead to despair like in Baichuan Shelter.
The situation on the battlefield, now supported by the spectacular powers of various strong individuals, was not at an absolute disadvantage.
But if entities capable of counterbalancing Wu Jiu and Li You appeared, the casualties of the vanguard troops would be terribly high.
Qin Zong was always somewhat concerned.
"If the Evil Fallen beyond the mist were just humans who had just mutated, it would be fine... But the levels of these Evil Fallen are too high."
Qin Zong was unaware that the strength of these Evil Fallen stemmed from Evil Fallen City. Without severing the connection to Evil Fallen City, this war would have no end.
...
...
Evil Fallen City.
In the city’s longest street, all exits were blocked by the swarms of incoming Evil Fallen.
Surrounding Nie Chongshan and Liu Mu were all sorts of bizarre monsters.
The strength of these fused Evil Fallen was mostly inferior to that of Nie Chongshan and Liu Mu.
At their feet were corpses of Evil Fallen everywhere.
"If this goes on... it seems impossible. Nie Chongshan, we need to leave here. There are simply too many monsters here... even if we exhaust our strength, we won’t be able to kill one-tenth..."
Liu Mu’s breath was already somewhat disordered. Nie Chongshan was feeling the same.
Their original intention was to sever this city’s supply of troops.
But clearly, they underestimated the terror of Evil Fallen City.
Compared to those fighting tirelessly in the towers, Liu Mu and Nie Chongshan were more aware of the situation.
The Human Allied Forces could not possibly contend with such a force.
However, the two were not without discoveries. Nie Chongshan said:
"Have you noticed, these Evil Fallen are actually devouring each other—not devouring, rather..."
"Fusing!" Nie Chongshan and Liu Mu said at the same time.
In the recent battle, they had severely injured a monster capable of exhaling breath that condensed into ice.
They also severely injured a monster capable of warping and extending hard substances.
But the two of them did not kill these two monsters because there were simply too many surrounding them, so much so that even working together, they could only cope with the onslaught.
However, not long after, Nie Chongshan encountered an Evil Fallen with a strange shape.
He found its methods vaguely familiar—
It exhaled cold breath, the breath formed into ice spikes, but the ice spikes could twist and wind... they nearly injured Nie Chongshan.
