“Attack the city! Attack the city!”
Han Zhen’s eyes went dark with rage.
He had just used ten years’ worth of accumulated Power Of Faith to forcibly bypass the army and connect with a discarded Wuling statue within the city.
As a result, he saw a large number of logistical troops busily setting up various military equipment.
This Kid was clearly bluffing!
Moreover, he also saw.
An Inner Vision Realm general was using a gust field to blow the smoke from the barbecue towards them.
What was this doing?
Hmm?
Finally, it was time to attack the city, but the army below did not rush out like hungry wolves as expected; instead, they were in a chaotic mess.
“Damn it, I’ve been smelling this barbecue for ages, and now we can finally attack the city?”
“It’s too fragrant, I’m almost dazed by the smell.”
“Someone’s fainted from the smell!”
“Medic! Medic! Our captain is foaming at the mouth!”
Han Zhen snapped out of his rage, he sniffed the aroma of the barbecue, and his expression suddenly changed.
At first, he was just curious why the barbecue was so fragrant, but his attention had been drawn by that Kid on the city wall and Ying Bing, so he hadn’t paid much mind to it. Now, he finally realized.
This barbecue scent was poisonous!
It was Soft Tendon Powder!
This wasn’t just an empty fort strategy; it was a combination attack!
“This Kid is playing us?!” The Hall Master of Hundred Beasts stared intently at Li Mo on the city wall. He wasn’t greatly affected, but the ordinary soldiers were.
But honestly, as a dignified member of the Demonic Sect, he had schemed against countless people in his life.
But adding Soft Tendon Powder to barbecue smoke, first using barbecue to numb the enemy, then using barbecue to numb the enemy—such an evil method...
He was truly enlightened.
“What a pity, even if this Kid is an enemy, he is indeed a talent...”
“I told you, truly colorless and odorless isn’t about having no smell; it’s about blending into the environment and making people unsuspicious.”
On the city wall, Li Mo raised an eyebrow at Huang Donglai.
Huang Donglai fell into deep thought, also feeling that Brother Li’s words made sense.
His poison theory was due for an upgrade.
All his stock, plus dozens of boxes of Soft Tendon Powder bought by Brother Li, had been used up in this one go.
“Commander Qu, next, it will be a tough battle.”
Li Mo turned back solemnly and said.
“......”
The generals wiped away their sweat.
“Li Shaoxia has done enough.”
Qu Sheng pressed his hand on the hilt of his saber, intending to take a deep breath, but he held back and shouted loudly:
“Soldiers, the enemy has fallen for Li Shaoxia’s brilliant plan!”
“Lads, behind us is Qingmu City. The Wuman are cruel; once the city falls, they will surely butcher everyone, leaving no living thing in Qingmu City. We have only one path: to hold out until the Prince arrives with reinforcements.”
“Many years ago, the Prince fought alongside us, which is why we have Qingmu City today. Now, with Li Shaoxia and Han Xianzi, two Prodigies, here, do you have confidence?”
The soldiers within the city walls immediately erupted in a thunderous roar of response.
And below the city.
This final period of time was finally dragged out by the Soft Tendon Powder.
Whoosh—
A massive horn blast echoed through the heavens and Ten Lands.
After a period of chaos, the less affected enemy troops in the rear took over the task of siege assault. Large numbers of battering rams and arrow towers pressed towards the city.
Boom—Boom—Boom—
Above the city wall, the thunder beast drums emitted a rumbling thunder, as if the heart of this massive city was beating violently.
The sound of bowstrings firing was incessant.
Large waves of powerful crossbow bolts, imbued with the Inner Breath of elite crossbowmen, transformed into piercing gales, astonishing in their penetration, even able to pierce through the enemy’s rattan armor.
And the Divine Archers of the Guan Shen Realm all had Divine Intention manifesting behind them. Even Inner Scenery experts had to be wary of their sneak attacks.
The area below instantly transformed into a tragic purgatory. Many enemy soldiers were struck by arrows and fell to the ground, trampled into meat paste by their own comrades.
In a short time, two thousand enemy soldiers died under the arrow rain.
However, even their wails were drowned out by the earth-shattering horn blasts and the thunderous beat of the thunder beast war drums.
It was their lives that, carrying those heavily murderous siege engines and war Wuling giants, slowly approached the city wall.
One moment warm and alive, the next crushed into mud.
This was war.
“Their purpose is to die, to use their lives to escort siege engines and Wuling giants close to the city wall.”
Commander Qu, still organizing the defense on the city wall, looked at the gradually approaching massive dark shadows and said.
However, his voice was also muddled by the clamor of the battlefield.
“Flying Disaster Beasts are here!”
Wu Lang roared.
This time, it wasn’t scouts, but elites led by high-Rank Disaster Beasts.
Their Bloodline Power was strong; one could scatter a unit of soldiers.
Once they infiltrated the city wall, they would disrupt the city wall’s deployment, destroy the archers’ formations and other city defense facilities, creating an attack space for the enemy and siege facilities below.
The next moment, a crackling bolt of lightning appeared.
“Use the formation patterns!”
The formation stones on the wall, after being embedded with xuan crystals, glowed with dazzling light.
Immediately, above Qingmu City, hot dark clouds rolled, cut into golden lightning pools by lightning serpents, forming a dense lightning net that sealed the sky above the city.
Any flying Disaster Beasts that crashed into the lightning net, even if they didn’t die, would be paralyzed and fall, then be hacked to death by the soldiers.
Calamity Repelling Formation Pattern · Sky Ban!
“This formation pattern consumes two xuan crystals per incense stick, you know.”
Wu Lang couldn’t help but click his tongue.
He would never forget today, when Li Shaoxia pointed at those hundred-plus boxes of xuan crystals and told him to use them freely, and not to sacrifice lives unless absolutely necessary.
He was really f*cking cool.
Wu Lang felt that if he were a girl, he would definitely want to marry Li Shaoxia.
A few scattered flying Disaster Beasts also broke through the lightning net, but don’t forget, Qingmu also had high-Rank experts who could fly, and Han Xianzi who could traverse the Void Realm.
Crack—
A severely wounded Six-Rank Disaster Beast was pierced by Sword Qi carrying frost.
It turned into an ice sculpture and fell to the ground, causing chaos among the attacking enemy forces.
“Han Xianzi!”
The defending soldiers of Qingmu Camp were encouraged, and their morale greatly boosted.
Flying Disaster Beasts were once the nightmare of Qingmu City’s soldiers; they came and went like the wind, impossible to catch, yet impossible to ignore.
And now, that stunning immortal shadow, soaring through the blue sky alongside the Inner Scenery experts within the lightning net, appeared terrifying to the enemy, but gave them unparalleled confidence.
From now on, when drinking and bragging, they could say they fought alongside Han Xianzi.
Li Mo’s ears were almost constantly ringing with notifications.
But he didn’t have a moment to look.
A tall bronze battering ram was already close, and it had long been poised for action; this single strike was enough to shake the city wall.
The Rong Yuan Military Crossbows had already fired a round and were being reloaded, while the Pilili Fire Thunder Pills, at this distance, would explode along with the city wall.
Whoosh—
The sound of the Rong Yuan Military Crossbow was a muffled thunderous roar, the furious cry of the God of Death.
When you heard the crossbow’s sound, perhaps you were already dead.
The crossbow bolts were aimed precisely at those Six-Rank and even Five-Rank Disaster Beasts.
Pilili Fire Thunder Pills were also tied to ordinary heavy crossbows and shot out, heading straight for those bronze giants.
The raging battlefield now entered its most brutal climax.
After sacrificing one-third of their bronze giants and a ground covered with dead Disaster Beasts.
“Break through Qingmu Pond, and we will no longer have to cower in these barren lands!”
“Take back everything that is ours!”
After paying a huge price, the attacking side finally achieved its tactical objective.
The two sides engaged in close combat.
Disaster Beasts and warriors from the Southern Barbarian tribes, using the cloud towers pushed to the city, surged onto the city wall like a tide of hungry wolves.
The Wuling bronze giants condensed mysterious totems. Not only was their own combat power formidable, but they also seemed to imbue every soldier who believed in them with a power similar to Guan Shen’s Divine Intention.
“Form up!”
Commander Qu handed over the command of the army formations to Han Xianzi, whose mental prowess and talent left him far behind.
Ying Bing, on the city tower in the center of the city wall, commanded the various army formations.
The Qingmu army’s various camps quickly formed military formations, relying on the power of the Calamity Repelling Formation Patterns on the city wall, constantly clashing with the enemy.
Under collisions of this Rank.
Even the fields of Inner Scenery experts could not be maintained; they would be shattered.
Inner Scenery experts could only unleash their fields violently, reap a harvest of lives, and then quickly retract their fields and retreat.
Or, under the enhancement of the military formations, engage in one-on-one combat.
Commander Qu faced off against ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) the Hall Master of Hundred Beasts.
“Li Mo!”
Hélián Wù swooped down like a hawk, his eyes fixed on the young man empowered by the military formation’s strength.
“What the hell are you looking at?”
“Looking for a beating?”
Li Mo’s eyes flashed with the light of the Tianming Divine Eye.
The Forty in his palm hummed with a ringing sound, this Mystic Weapon was pushed to its limit.
.....
Evening.
The north wind howled like a knife, but it couldn’t disperse the stench of blood on the city wall.
After continuously using the power of the world to activate the Seven Cycles of Qiankun, a former Qianlong Ranking Prodigy was forever left on the city wall.
On the city wall, there were many people, but it was silent. The soldiers were clearing the debris and bodies, all in solemn silence.
Li Mo sat on the city wall. ƒreewebɳovel.com
He was aching all over, his Tianming Divine Eye staring into the distance. His ominous premonition was not wrong.
Han Zhen didn’t care how many people died.
He didn’t even care which side they were on.
Tomorrow’s enemy attack would only be more ferocious.
“First Battalion, two hundred and one dead, two hundred seriously wounded.”
“Second Battalion, one hundred and eighty dead, two hundred and thirty seriously wounded.”
“Half of the Pilili Fire Thunder Pills remain, seven Rong Yuan Military Crossbows were destroyed...”
.....
Behind him, a personal guard was reporting the military situation to Commander Qu.
Li Mo’s heart sank slightly; tomorrow’s battle would be even harder.
“Want to eat something?”
A clear yet somewhat weary voice sounded in his ear.
Ying Bing was still in her immortal-like dress. She walked over, retying her dark hair.
“I can’t eat much.”
His numb nerves gradually recovered, and Li Mo’s stomach felt a bit churned.
“Be good.”
Ying Bing reached out and gently tapped his glabella.
Even though his Yi Soul was exhausted and he hadn’t summoned the Taiyin Clear Radiance, at this moment, he felt as if he was illuminated by tranquil moonlight.
