Seeing how strange the flames were, panic started to spread among the Fiends of Cold Moon City. Even the ten guards started to look at each other.
Liu Ming withdrew his gaze from the outside of the light shield and turned to look at Leng Meng.
Leng Meng's hands were clenched into fists, and his expression was slightly twisted. The next moment, he took a deep breath and flew into the air. He stood in front of the silver-robed woman through the Mystic Moon Light Barrier.
"Madam Yin Tang, our Coldmoon City has never had any conflicts with your Flame City. I don't know what benefits the city lord has promised you, but as long as your people can retreat from here, I can give you double the compensation," Leng Meng clasped his hands at the silver-robed woman. Every single word he spoke was powerful.
The silver-robed woman only smiled coldly when she heard this. It was as if she hadn't heard him at all. She waved her arm and ordered the Fiends to continue attacking.
On the other side, the blue-robed man laughed heartily when he saw this. The ridicule in his eyes was self-evident.
Leng Meng's expression suddenly became extremely unsightly.
The dozen or so silver-armored Fiends hovering in midair continued to unleash Whitebone Spirit Devouring Flames. It wasn't long before half of the Mystic Moon Shield was engulfed in white flames, and the brightness of the Mystic Moon Shield had dropped by half.
On the other side, the dozen or so giant puppets of Cold Water City were still attacking the Mystic Moon light shield with all their might.
Since there was a great disparity in strength between the two sides, even though the five hundred Fiend guards of Cold Moon City were doing their best to maintain the shield, they still couldn't stop it from becoming thinner and thinner.
Suddenly, a crisp rumble rang out. The entire Mystic Moon light shield finally shattered.
The Fiends of Cold Water City and Raging Flame City immediately cheered. Over a thousand Fiends immediately flew into the air and pounced towards the people of Cold Moon City like a tidal wave.
When the people of Cold Moon City saw that the Mystic Moon light shield had been shattered, their hearts sank. Then, they saw that their enemies were almost twice their number charging towards them. Despair appeared in many of their eyes.
"Don't panic! Everyone, listen up! Gather the troops around the captain and face the enemy! " Right at this moment, Leng Meng's sonorous and powerful voice rang out. His voice was so loud that it almost drowned out the cheers of the people.
Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at Leng Meng in surprise.
At this moment, there was an indescribable sense of shock in this person's words. They could actually faintly affect the minds of others.
Upon hearing Nie Tian's words, the five hundred Fiend guards of Cold Moon City shuddered as they realized what was going on and rapidly regrouped.
In an extremely short period of time, the five squads formed five circular military formations with Leng Meng as the center, and faced the enemies that were pouncing over from all directions.
The two sides clashed in close combat, and intense sounds of magic power colliding resounded. All kinds of magic light filled the sky, and the situation of the battle was even more intense than before.
The dozen or so giant puppets of Frigid Water City charged toward the five formations of Coldmoon City as streaks of black light. In contrast, the dozen or so silver-armored Fiends of Raging Flame City were all extremely pale, as if they had been severely injured. After putting away the silver flags in their hands, they retreated behind the silver-robed woman.
While the Fiends were engaged in a chaotic battle, Liu Ming and the other ten guards didn't move. They still stood behind Leng Meng.
This was because they all knew that even though the major forces would send out hundreds of guards of honor, the true core of the tribute was actually the leader.
In other words, they could abandon everything else in Cold Moon City, but they couldn't afford to lose Leng Meng.
The purpose of these ten guards was to ensure that Leng Meng could arrive at Jade Nether City safe and sound.
At this moment, Liu Ming's eyes were slowly sweeping across the five formations of Cold Moon City's Fiends.
The formation of these formations was quite similar to the formation of the Evil Ghost Legion. He wondered if the two were related in some way.
Soon after the chaotic battle began, the people of Cold Moon City were completely suppressed. Both in terms of numbers and overall strength, they were clearly at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, the guards of Cold Moon City had formed their formations in time. Each formation was composed of more than a hundred cultivators, and they had united their magic power. Therefore, even though they were being suppressed for a while, they were still able to hold their ground.
The blue-robed giant of Cold Water City stood in the rear with his arms crossed. Looking at the multicolored lights dancing in the sky in front of him, an impatient look finally appeared on his face.
Even though the army of Cold Water City had completely suppressed the guards of Cold Moon City, they wouldn't be able to defeat them within a short period of time.
The situation was similar for the army of Raging Flame City.
As time ticked by, the blue-robed giant of Cold Moon City started to feel anxious.
All of a sudden, he raised his arm and waved it. At this moment, seven or eight Jin Dan stage Fiends, who were standing behind him, immediately dashed out. They morphed into streaks of light that pounced directly towards the people of Cold Moon City.
With the addition of these seven or eight Jin Dan stage Fiends, Cold Moon City's already unfavorable situation became even more perilous.
"Lei Sha, Hong Shen,..."
Leng Meng's expression darkened upon seeing this. He called out the names of five of the Fiends behind him in succession.
Then, he issued an instruction, "There are too many Jin Dan stage Fiends in Cold Water City. Our formation won't be able to hold them off. Go and reinforce them."
The few Fiend guards who had been named by him nodded and shot into the air like five streaks of light, flying towards the battlefield in Cold Water City.
The burly man who drove the giant ape ghost on the arena was also among the few people who were sent over. With a flash of black light, the giant ape ghost flew out of a black bag on his back. It let out a roar, and its huge body didn't seem cumbersome at all. In a flash, it pounced on a blue-haired Cold Water City Real Pellet State Fiend Race.
The burly man let out a low roar as he summoned a large pitch-black axe. Streaks of pitch-black axe projections shot forth from the axe toward a Jin Dan stage cultivator.
Like the burly man, the others also faced one or two Jin Dan stage cultivators from Cold Water City.
Although there were fewer Jin Dan stage cultivators in Cold Moon City than in Cold Water City, they were all seasoned warriors with rich battle experience. As soon as they joined the battle, they managed to fend off seven or eight Jin Dan stage cultivators from Cold Water City.
At this moment, only Liu Ming, Bi Yan, and three other early Jin Dan stage Fiends remained by Leng Meng's side.
Liu Ming withdrew his gaze from the burly man and the others, and cast an indifferent glance at Leng Meng, a strange look flashing across his eyes.
The current situation was very clear. The enemy was too strong, and it seemed that they hadn't used their full strength. Even if all ten of them joined the battle, and each of them could fend off two Jin Dan stage cultivators, they still wouldn't be able to turn the situation around.
If he, Liu Ming, were in Leng Meng's position, he would have already given the order to break out of the encirclement and escape, instead of fighting the enemy who had an absolute advantage.
Of course, if Leng Meng still had some trump cards in his hands, it would be a different story.
As these thoughts flashed through Liu Ming's mind, he mocked himself inwardly, "Why am I still thinking about this? Isn't it the perfect time to escape when the surroundings are in chaos?"
On the other side of the battlefield, the silver-robed young woman and a dozen Jin Dan stage Fiends from Raging Flame City were standing in midair, watching the fierce battle down below.
"Madam, the people of Cold Moon City are in grave danger now. If we join the battle now, we can defeat them immediately." Behind the silver-robed young woman, an unusually tall Jin Dan Fiend suggested impatiently.
"Let's wait for a moment. The people of Cold Moon City won't be so weak. Leng Meng looks resolute, but he's actually very cunning. If he's really at his wit's end, I'm afraid he would have already given the order to break out of the encirclement and escape. Since the people of Cold Moon City are so proactive, let them take the lead. After all, they're the main force this time. We can just sit back and reap the benefits. "The silver-robed young woman's eyes flashed as she said with a faint smile.
The tall Fiend wore a disapproving expression when he heard this. The corner of his mouth twitched as if he wanted to say something. However, a short Fiend beside him gently pulled him back, and he finally shut his mouth.
"Even so, the battle has already started for a long time. If we continue to delay, I'm afraid that other forces will come over," a masked man beside the silver-robed young woman said in a soft voice.
The silver-robed young woman took a glance at the masked man. It seemed that she had a higher opinion of him than the others. After pondering for a moment, she replied, "Alright then.
Xin Kui, Yanqiu, and the Gan Brothers, the four of you will try to scout out Cold Moon City's strength. "
As soon as the silver-robed young woman said this, the black-robed old man, the azure-robed young man, and the two Fiend cultivators standing behind her responded in unison and immediately shot forward.
Leng Meng abruptly turned his head to look at the four people who were charging at him. His pupils contracted as he turned his head to say something.
However, Liu Ming had already formed an incantation gesture with one hand. Black Qi surged from his body as he rose into the air to meet them.
A streak of green light flashed as Bi Yan also rose into the air and followed closely behind Liu Ming.
"Rest assured, Lord Leng Meng. Brother Yin and I will deal with these four!" Bi Yan's voice sounded in Leng Meng's ears.
Liu Ming shot a glance at Bi Yan and slightly furrowed his brows. With a wave of his arm, dense grey Sword Qi appeared in front of him and enveloped the two Jin Dan Fiends.
Green light also surged from Bi Yan's body and transformed into thousands of green threads that blocked the black-robed old man and the azure-robed young man.
"Tsk tsk, a mere Fake Core brat dares to block us brothers?! Since you don't know the immensity of the heavens and earth, you'll have to give me a sumptuous meal! "The tall Fiend from Raging Flame City swept his gaze over Liu Ming with a tyrannical look on his face.
He made a grabbing motion with his hand and a black cymbal appeared. As it revolved, it suddenly expanded to the size of a pavilion and shattered the grey Sword Qi. Then, it chopped down toward Liu Ming's head.
From the looks of it, he intended to slice Liu Ming in half!
