Atop the walls of Golden Light City, the Haoyue Boy and the other elders let out sighs of relief when they saw this.
"The Spirit Returning Flags refined by Elder Yao are truly wondrous. They are able to concentrate the magic power of an entire squad of cultivators on their captain, causing their offensive power to increase by severalfold. This method has never been seen before. "The Haoyue Boy sighed in admiration.
In the world of cultivation, it wasn't that such a method didn't exist. However, it required extremely complex restrictions and could only be realized under very harsh conditions. For example, the cultivators had to practice the same cultivation technique and it would take a long time for them to work together.
It was truly astonishing that a trifling set of flags was able to achieve such an effect.
The Haoyue Boy's praise came from the bottom of his heart.
The other elders looked at Elder Yao with admiration in their eyes.
"This set of Spirit Returning Flags can be considered to be relatively successful, but it also has a weakness, which is its lack of flexibility. It still needs to be constantly improved." The old man surnamed Yao shook his head and smiled. There was a faint look of satisfaction on his face.
Elder Yao quickly withdrew his expression and changed the topic, "The Evil Ghost Legion has only suffered a setback at the vanguard. They will definitely counterattack. Pay close attention to the battle!"
"Yes." The Haoyue Boy and the others hastily replied.
As a result, not long after Elder Yao's voice fell, the Evil Ghost Legion quickly reacted as he had expected.
A deep bugle sound came from the rear of the evil ghost legion on Min's side. As soon as the evil ghosts and ghost beasts that were rushing towards Golden Light City heard the sound, they immediately stopped and formed a defensive battle formation.
Immediately afterwards, a battle cry came from a circular formation of several hundred evil ghosts. Black ghost Qi flourished and clouds of black mist appeared, quickly converging together to form several incomparably huge black tentacles.
The black tentacle lashed out toward a group of human cultivators with a shrill gust of wind in its wake.
This group of cultivators was led by Elder Min.
Elder Min sneered and formed an incantation gesture with his hand. A grey sword radiance appeared and met one of the thick tentacles.
The grey sword radiance blurred and swelled to over three hundred meters in length. With a puchi sound, it easily chopped off the black tentacle.
Hu hu!
The other tentacles made a strange turn, and actually bypassed Friar Min from several directions, wrapping around the rest of the team members behind him.
Chi la!
The tip of the tentacle released a dense mass of thin, black threads, which shot toward the twenty or so team members.
A series of blood-curdling screams rang out.
As the disciples at the back had been completely focused on pouring all of their Fa Li into Man Min's body, the pitch-black threads pierced through seven or eight of them, turning them into beehives. Although they managed to protect their vitals, other parts of their body were directly penetrated, causing them to lose their ability to fight on the spot.
The man surnamed Min's expression changed and he changed the sword art in his hand. He struck out several incantation gestures and the huge grey sword blurred before splitting into several identical swordlights.
It was the Sword Shadow Light Splitting Technique!
Pu pu pu! A series of muffled sounds could be heard.
Before the tentacles could launch a second wave of attacks, they were cleanly cut off by the scattered grey swordlights.
Man Min snorted coldly and waved his hands. Immediately, countless grey swordlights appeared. After a moment of blurring, the swordlights converged in one spot, forming a huge grey swordlight that was over three hundred meters in length in the blink of an eye.
A cold glint flashed in Man Min's eyes. The huge grey swordlight shot down with a thunderous rumble towards the circular evil spirit army below.
Whoosh la la!
Puffs of black gas appeared in the midst of the evil spirit army, condensing into a thick black gas screen in the shape of a shield.
Chi la! The sound of metal tearing rang out.
The light screen of the shield only lasted for a few breaths before it was forcibly crushed by the huge swordlight. Then, it scattered in all directions.
The grey sword light crashed into the army of evil spirits with the force of Mt. Tai.
Rumble! An earth-shattering sound rang out. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of evil spirits were swallowed by the grey swordlight. They didn't even have the chance to scream before they were reduced to pieces.
After defeating this evil spirit army, the white formation plate tied to Min's arm suddenly flashed and a voice came from it. "You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.
"Min Rong, quickly go and support the small team behind you in the northeast!"
Man Min turned his head when he heard this. He saw that in the northeast direction, over a thousand evil spirits had formed a large army. They were locked in battle with two teams of human cultivators. The human cultivators were even at a slight disadvantage.
Friar Min waved his hand and immediately led the remaining ten or so team members in that direction.
Throughout the entire battlefield, because the human cultivators relied on their geographical advantage and were prepared to charge, they had the upper hand. Although the Evil Ghost Legion was able to resist the attacks of the human cultivators for the time being, it was almost impossible for them to move. Their mobility was immediately greatly reduced, and they were instead defeated by the human cultivators.
As for the ghost beasts, although each of them had extraordinary attack power, they were killed one by one by Jin Guangjun's Combo Technique.
The battle went on for several hours. Suddenly, the sound of a horn came from the rear of the evil spirit army. When the evil spirits and ghost beasts on the battlefield heard this, they immediately retreated like a tide.
When the elders in charge of commanding the battlefield saw this, they hastily sent out messages to stop the small teams from pursuing them.
Old Man Yao looked in the direction of the evil spirit army's retreat and frowned. His face revealed a contemplative expression.
Seeing this, Haoyue Boy and the other elders heaved a sigh of relief and said with joy, "This battle can be said to be a great victory for us. Not only has our morale greatly increased, but we've also greatly dampened the spirit of the evil spirit army!"
"This is only a small victory. It's too early to be happy. I'm afraid the real bitter battle is yet to come. Moreover, the evil spirit army's attack this time is somewhat anticlimactic. There must be something fishy about it." Old Man Yao said indifferently. Then his figure moved and he flew into Golden Light City.
When Haoyue Boy, Elder Gu, and the others heard this, they immediately shut their mouths.
Not long after, the various teams of cultivators outside the city flew back one after another.
In this battle, Jin Guangjun suffered very few casualties. It could be said that it was a great victory. For a moment, the morale of the cultivators in the city soared.
Just as the battle in Jin Guangjun ended, nearly a thousand disciples of the Heaven's Work Sect were sitting on hundreds of large flying boats, machine-operated flying cars, machine-operated puppet beasts, and various kinds of giant puppets outside the Puppet City. They were fighting fiercely with over ten thousand evil spirits.
The large flying boats were like huge crescent-shaped warships. Each warship was about three hundred feet long and carried about ten disciples of the Heaven's Work Sect. On both sides of the flying boats, there was a row of holes that resembled the muzzles of cannons. From time to time, incomparably thick beams of light would fall from them.
The machine-operated flying cars were much smaller than the flying boats. Each of them was only one-tenth the size of the flying boats. Fortunately, they were very agile. Under the cover of the flying boats, they hovered up and down and continuously shot huge beams of light from them.
Every beam of light that fell would inevitably set off a violent explosion and a burst of mournful howls from the ghost soldiers. Broken limbs flew in all directions.
Most of the attacks from the evil spirit army were blocked by the protective shields that lit up on the outer walls of the flying boats.
And all the large flying boats seemed somewhat insignificant compared to the four or five hundred-feet-tall machine-operated puppet beasts that seemed to move slowly.
These puppet beasts looked similar to giant apes. Their bodies were impervious to swords and spears, and their two giant arms, which could reach the ground, were like a pair of giant pillars supporting the sky. Every time they waved their arms, which seemed slow, they could send dozens of evil spirits flying into the air. Then, they would be hit by the beams of light shot by the flying ships and flying cars behind them.
In terms of the overall situation of the battle, the cultivators of the Heaven's Work Sect had an absolute advantage.
"Woo, woo, woo …"
At this moment, a low horn sounded from the rear of the evil ghost army. All the evil ghosts quickly began to retreat. Many of the ghost soldiers were unable to escape in time and were struck by the dense beams of light, leaving not even their bones behind.
Not long after, all the soldiers of the evil spirit army disappeared into the distance.
Seeing this, all the cultivators of the Heaven's Work Sect suddenly burst into cheers.
On a balcony that was hundreds of feet high in the Puppet City, a white-haired middle-aged man looked in the direction of the retreat of the evil spirit army from afar. His straight eyebrows furrowed.
Almost identical scenes were also playing out in Grand Qi City and Hidden Demon City.
Although the main cities of the four legions had all been attacked by the evil spirit army in a frenzied manner, the human cultivators were able to fiercely repel the evil spirit army's attacks.
News of the four human legions' first victory quickly spread. Naturally, the people of Fort Peaceful Sky also learned of this, and the morale of the human army soared.
… …
In a certain temporary residence in Fort Peaceful Sky, Liu Ming was sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat. A golden mirror that was around a foot in size hovered in front of him. He was constantly forming a series of incantation seals with his hands, seemingly in the process of refining the item.
"Younger Brother Liu, what do you think of this news?"
Xiaowu was sitting on a wooden chair across from him. She was watching as Liu Ming refined the magic tool while holding a Messaging Jade Slips in her hand. She asked something.
Liu Ming opened his eyes and calmly said, "I didn't witness the fierce battle with my own eyes, so I don't know the specifics of the situation. I can't make a judgment based on a mere piece of information. However, in my opinion, this wave of attack by the Malevolent Ghost Legion is not that simple. They attacked four major cities at the same time and were all repelled. No matter how I look at it, it is not normal. "Liu Ming opened his eyes and said faintly.
"Yes, Younger Brother Liu, I think the same. The evil spirit army shouldn't be so careless. They must be plotting something … "A thoughtful look appeared in Xiaowu's eyes.
"Let's leave these things to others to consider. Let's discuss the tactical cooperation that Senior Fang mentioned." Liu Ming didn't think so much, and he said with a change of topic.
"Yes, that is indeed the case. Even if the battle is unfavorable, the Heavenly Phenomenon Elders will worry about it. There is no need for us to be overly concerned. "After a brief pause, Xiaowu nodded in relief.
