The magic cannons fired one after another, and hundreds of cavalrymen were burned to ashes by the energy. The cavalrymen's formation wasn't as dense as the infantry. Weapons like the magic cannons, which attacked in a straight line, could only kill a limited number of cavalrymen. One shot from a magic cannon could only kill forty cavalrymen. Seeing that there wasn't much to gain, Salin ordered the demons to retreat.
The three magic cannons in front accurately hit the same target. The shoulder of the Punisher finally couldn't withstand the continuous attacks, and a wound was left behind by the magic cannon. Salin saw white light spurt out, but the wound didn't bleed. Instead, it twisted and closed inwardly.
If the magic cannons hit a living being, the wound would never heal.
Salin threw out the three scrolls he had prepared. The area 100 meters in front of the Crystal City turned into quicksand. The first Punisher that rushed up staggered and fell sideways, sinking into the sand.
However, this Punisher only sank less than two meters into the sand before it suddenly bounced up and struggled to stand up again. It spat out a ball of light similar to the magic cannons. This ball of light didn't attack the Crystal City. Instead, it sprayed the quicksand. The quicksand immediately crystallized, becoming hard and scalding.
With a swoosh, a metal spike shot over. The metal spike pierced a large hole in the Crystal City in front of Salin. The hole was more than half deep.
Bang! Boom!
The quicksand didn't restrict the Punisher's charge. Moreover, the 20-meter wide Crystal City was too narrow for the Punisher. There were only two Punishers that collided with the Crystal City, and the result of the collision was far beyond Salin's expectations. The Punishers directly created a huge crack in the Crystal City.
With just one more hit, the Crystal City would collapse. The two Punishers jumped onto the top of the Crystal City with a light jump. The collision just now was just to test the strength of the Crystal City.
The other 30 Punishers bypassed the Crystal City's obstruction and rushed towards the scattered demons.
The Punishers' intelligence and control ability made Salin finally understand that they weren't monsters, but battle weapons of the Inquisition, just like the Astrologer's dolls.
Shika urged the pony to come to the edge of the Crystal City. She raised her staff and hit the leg of a Punisher. Within a radius of several miles, a crisp cracking sound could be heard. This time, the Punisher was unable to maintain his balance and fell forward. Shika swung his staff upwards and smashed the Punisher's chin.
Her attack speed did not seem fast, but Zola and the others behind her could see it clearly. Shika's attack had not only calculated the position of the enemy's fall forward, but she had also leaped up and landed back on the horse's back. Her speed was so fast that it was over before she could even create an afterimage.
With a bang, the 18-meter-long Punisher was sent flying. Shika's staff smashed into the Punisher's jaw, and it almost disappeared into the Punisher's mouth. The Punisher flew backward, drew a curve in the air, and landed in the quicksand.
The other punisher pounced down from the sky. Shika frowned. The monster that he had sent flying did not die. Instead, it stood up in the quicksand and shook its head desperately, trying to regrow its chin.
"Salin, this thing can't be killed!" Shika was anxious. The pony under her jumped lightly, dodging the Punisher's attack. Her staff also smashed into the Punisher's nose. The Punisher's nose caved in, and its whole body fell backward, losing its balance.
"There's nothing that can't be killed!" The Wing Skeleton flew into the air. His flying ability was not restricted, but he had to use his pair of bone wings. The Scythe of the Nether God in his hand fiercely struck the Punisher's neck. The Scythe of the Nether God let out a whimper, and the Punisher's neck was cut in half.
"It's not dead!" Shika saw that the Punisher's neck was cut off, but its tail was still trying to attack the Wing Skeleton. Her pony rushed forward, waved her staff, and smashed the huge head that was almost cut off.
"The heart is a weakness!" Lightning runes flickered in Salin's eyes. He had actually seen through the Punisher's disguise. In his Eye of Lightning, he could see the Punisher's bloody heart and the struggling soul shuttling back and forth inside.
The Punisher's heart was very small, a little more than a foot in diameter. Compared to its huge body, it was very difficult to attack the heart.
Two punishers had already surrounded them from both sides. Gu Xin did not retreat with the Demons, but stayed at the side. He saw dozens of metal spikes flying toward Sarlin, and with a wave of the dragon-slaying flag in his hand, he wrapped the metal spikes in the flag. Gusin shook his hand, and the metal thorns fell to the ground. He felt a little numb in his hands.
Gusin was shocked. When he saw Shika easily send the Punisher flying, he thought that it was just so-so. Only when he attacked did he realize that even the metal thorns shot out by the Punisher were equivalent to a golden sword saint throwing a javelin.
If his Dragon Slaying Banner was not a powerful piece of equipment, the banner would have been pierced. He could not block dozens of metal thorns at all.
The Punishers on both sides closed in. The Punisher that had been sent flying also climbed up from the quicksand and jumped onto the City of Crystal again. The Punisher that had been beheaded had all its thorns cut off by the Scythe of the Nether God. One of its tails had also been cut off, so it had temporarily lost its ability to attack.
The wound caused by the Scythe of the Nether God could not be healed. Seeing that he could not deal with these monsters, Shika summoned his giant beast, recalled the pony, and jumped onto it. Salin also followed Shika and jumped onto the back of the giant beast. This giant beast did not fly, but instead raised its huge claws to trample on the Punisher.
The Punisher on the City of Crystal was looking for an opportunity to attack. When it was stepped on by the giant beast that suddenly appeared, the metal thorns on its back were all broken.
Shika's spirit beast was not a living creature. Its body was completely refined by the shaman's witchcraft. Below its huge claws were crystals that were much harder than metal.
The City of Crystal was broken, and a gap appeared. The Punisher was stuck in the gap, twisting its body and trying to break free.
Shika stood on the back of the spirit beast and looked down from above. He took out a javelin and threw it at the Punisher's mangled back. The two-meter-long javelin completely penetrated the Punisher's back, but it did not hit the heart. The Punisher's heart moved a little inside its body, and it dodged Shika's javelin.
Salin had no choice but to release the water flame, which drilled into the Punisher's body. The silver-white water flame froze the internal structure of the Punisher's body and shattered it. The mangled heart had nowhere to escape, and Shika's second javelin hit it.
Salin did not have time to help Shika anymore. Gusin had blocked three waves of metal thorns and looked tired. The star map on Salin's star pattern bracelet rotated, and the Thunder Dragon Spear appeared on his left arm. Four icicles shot out at the same time, targeting different Punishers.
These four icicles were one meter long, and their bodies were covered in blue electric currents. They were much faster than the metal thorns. At such a close distance, the Punishers could not dodge them at all. The four icicles entered their bodies at the same time, and the hearts of the four Punishers were pierced directly. The electric current exploded into a ball of lightning at the core of the heart, and then spread out like a net.
The hundreds of souls in the Punisher's heart were turned into pure energy by the electric current, and they could no longer control the Punisher's body.
The Thunder Dragon Spear could still release two lightning icicles, but Salin put it away. The chief judge had not appeared, and he could not use all his trump cards.
"Gusin, let's go." Salin summoned his subordinates, and everyone jumped onto the back of the giant beast. The giant beast flew into the air. Four of the six Punishers were killed by the Thunder Dragon Spear, but their bodies were not damaged. As long as their hearts were replaced, they could still fight on the battlefield. As for the other two Punishers, one of them had an intact heart, but its body was severely damaged. The other one's body and heart were completely destroyed.
The remaining thirty-four Punishers rushed into the midst of the demons and began a massacre.
Salin looked down at the battlefield from the sky, and for the first time, he realized that demons were also such fragile creatures. Under the charge of the Punishers, not many demons could resist. The giant shields were smashed by the horns of the Punishers, and after some demons were knocked over, the Punishers simply stepped on their bodies. The demons were trampled into pieces, and their flesh and blood spurted out from the gaps in their armor.
Out of the five hundred demons, only about fifty of them with the fastest speed and strongest strength managed to escape the pursuit of the Punishers, and they ran wildly towards Great Liang City. The strength of these demons was infinitely close to that of a Great Demon, and they could advance at any time.
The Elemental Stone Soldier that Salin had left behind waved its magic warhammer, and desperately hit the body of the Punisher. The hundred-meter-tall Elemental Stone Soldier quickly shrank. In this environment, it was difficult to replenish its elemental power after it was used up.
The Punisher that was beaten into pieces did not die. With its heart intact, it struggled on the ground, and escaped the attack range of the Elemental Stone Soldier. The Elemental Stone Soldier, which had shrunk to a height of fifty meters, was hit by the Punishers on both sides, and both of its legs were broken.
The Soul Beast flew higher and higher, and the metal spikes that the Punishers shot on the ground were shot away by Salin's low-level icicles, and they slid to one side. The Stone Soldier on the ground could not be saved!
Salin's five hundred demons were almost completely wiped out. This surprise attack could be considered a failure.
If the Punishers had not appeared, Salin's three Golden Sword Saints, as well as the Winged Skeleton and Shika, could have caused great losses to the cavalry. The appearance of the Punishers was not within Salin's calculations.
The giant Soul Beast flew at an altitude of more than three thousand meters. Salin suddenly turned his head and saw an army wearing red armor on the battlefield below. Three mages in this army were working together to release divine spells, and more than a hundred demons who were still struggling were shrouded in three divine lights. Suddenly, the battlefield became silent.
Salin put on the goggles and tried to lock onto the three mages, but found that he could not aim at any of them. The Spear of the Thunder Dragon only had two lightning icicles left. At this distance, he could still kill two Punishers. But Salin did not do so. He saw that after the mages finished off the demons, they came to the monster that he had shot dead.
