The place where Li Jie and the others surrounded and intercepted Doom's group was at the gap between two craters. And the only way to see and go to the River of Souls was through this gap.
The encirclement set up by Li Jie was in the shape of a triangle. The firepower was configured according to different needs. The Hell Destroyer had the strongest firepower, but it was less mobile. Therefore, it was attached to the hillside on the left, suppressing firepower from a commanding position.
On the right side of the triangle was a containment group composed of Steel Guardians and Mutants. Directly in front of the gap to enter the crater was an assault team composed of Li Jie and the others, as well as the Raider Mecha with the strongest speed and sneak attack ability.
The encirclement on the left and right was like a huge iron pincer, clamping down on the space for Doom and the others to retreat. If they wanted to break through to the left and right, not only would they run into the encirclement, but more importantly, there were huge craters at the end of both directions.
The black rocks towered into the clouds, as if they were holding up the red clouds above their heads. The shape of these mountains was like a sharp sword blade. It could be said that there was no room for turning around if they ran into it.
And the best way to break through was where Li Jie was. Because Doom's own goal was to cross this mountain pass and go to the River of Souls.
And Li Jie was already prepared here. Tony Stark made some small changes to his new Lightning Blade. There wasn't much room for improvement because it was limited by the size and characteristics of the weapon itself. The manufacturing blueprint provided by the system was already a fairly perfect manufacturing method.
However, Tony still made some useful improvements, the biggest one being the improvement of the energy supply. The original Lightning Blade was powered by an energy module.
Although its power could not be underestimated, there was a problem of insufficient endurance and explosive power. Tony had purposely improved this because of the deepening of their partnership. He was no longer simply providing Li Jie with an Ark Energy Module, a one-time portable energy source.
Instead, he designed an Arc Reactor specifically for the Lightning Blade. It was hidden inside the blade. This greatly enhanced the practicality of the Lightning Blade, and the continuous and powerful energy supply caused the two Lightning Blades to jump with dazzling arcs.
Because the energy was stronger than before, the jumping arcs were thicker. The dazzling blue and white light was even more conspicuous in contrast to the dark ground.
The ninjas of the Society were too far away and couldn't return in time. Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to. The closer they got to the River of Souls, the more ninjas with broken souls fell. Their broken souls had been directly sucked into the River of Souls and reincarnated.
The defense that Durm's side could organize completely depended on the eighty elite guards he had brought with him. They were all wearing armor that was in no way inferior to Li Jie's powered skeleton.
At the same time, they held a powerful heat gun in their hands. The only drawback was that as a heat and light energy weapon, its usage within the atmosphere was severely restricted.
The attack range was suppressed, and the most suitable combat environment for this weapon was the vacuum environment outside the atmosphere.
Of course, in addition to Dum's personal guards, there was another group of important people, the Onmyoji brought by Kingpin. It seemed that while he was in control of the Hand and Society, he had already completely controlled the most important power of the Hand and Society.
There were more than a hundred Onmyojis. Almost all the core forces of the Society were deployed. In terms of individual strength, the Society's Onmyojis were not as strong as the mages of Kamateki.
Because Kamateki had perfected a set of effective and systematic education methods over the past few hundred years. And the Onmyojis' training method was the ancient method of self-cultivation.
At the same time, Kamar-Taeki has the strongest human Ancient One on Earth. His teachings to his disciples can benefit a lot, which is completely incomparable to this group of self-exploring Onmyojis.
But when the number reached a certain level, these Onmyojis could be a headache. Because they were different from mages. The Onmyojis' greatest strength didn't lie in their individual casting powerful spells.
But the ability to control Spirit-branded Retainers. And most of these Spirit-branded Retainers were monsters from hell or other dimensions. Because the Society's castle was under the space entrance to hell. These Onmyojis might be able to sign contracts of various effects with these monsters from other dimensions. This method of obtaining power was similar to that of the mages of the Greenwich Faction.
Onmyojis weren't strong. Many of them had ordinary bodies. They couldn't compare to the mages of Kamateki, who could be called human weapons.
But the Spirit-branded Retainers they summoned were not weak at all. The Society's inheritance came from the Great Onmyojis Abe no Seimei of the Heian Era in the East Ocean more than a thousand years ago.
Abe no Seimei was not good at spatial spells, but he had a unique way to communicate between two different worlds. He called this spell Yin-Yang.
And in hell, a place where space was very unstable. It was easier for these Onmyojis to use this spell to summon Spirit-branded Retainers.
When the first Onmyojis used his specially made long and sharp fingernail to cut his vein, Li Jie had already noticed something was wrong.
"Damon, let your raiders work with me. We're going to break through their formation." Looking at these guys, Li Jie guessed that something was wrong. After all, in the movies, whenever there was a blood sacrifice to summon something, it was usually a big boss.
Li Jie didn't have the gentlemanly demeanor of the male protagonists in the movies who watched the show leisurely and waited for the other party to finish before starting the fight.
So when the first Onmyojis used the blood sacrifice spell to summon Spirit-branded Retainers, and the other Onmyojis immediately followed suit, Li Jie's first thought was to kill all these damn guys.
But the Onmyojis were now protected by the little Spirit-branded Retainers and Doom's personal guards. If he wanted to kill these guys, he had to break through this line of defense first.
Li Jie's Lightning Blade was adjusted to cutting mode. The electric arcs that were jumping on the blade stopped jumping randomly. Instead, it began to gather energy on the blade.
"Understood, Nightcrawler. I will form an arrowhead charge. Ten raiders will attack from the right using Frank's firepower to create the illusion of a strong attack. "Damon's voice came from the communicator.
"I'll coordinate with Frank on this aspect, and I'll place the main focus of the attack on the front of the center. You will move together with the raider-type mecha. "
"Understood. Tony, give me a harass. " Li Jie indicated that he understood. At the same time, he requested Tony to give him a harass before the ambush.
"Understood," Tony replied.
The Spirit-branded Retainers that the Onmyojis could summon weren't very strong, but there were many of them. They would bring a lot of trouble, and Bart knew quite a few of these demons.
"These are Green Jade Demons, a branch of the Rock Demon Species. Their bodies are tough and strong, but they can't move fast enough. "Demon Bart stayed by Lan's side and introduced these demons.
The Green Jade Demon that he mentioned did not seem to have anything to do with the word Green Jade. Instead, it looked more like a two-meter-tall stone man covered in green moss.
"This is a Burning Unknown Bird. Its flames are hard to put out." A few slender flying birds with blazing bodies and extremely fast flying speed were causing trouble for the group.
When Peter Parker was tying up a Green Jade Demon with spider silk, his clothes were almost set on fire by the birds that flew past him.
"Oh, this is a subspecies of Flame Demon, Lava Man! I haven't seen this kind of creature in Hell for a long time. "Bart seemed to see something that excited him. His eyes began to shine.
He was so knowledgeable that he didn't seem like a normal demon. Lan controlled the core of the formation while glancing at Bart from the corner of her eyes.
"Begin the charge!" Damon's voice came from Li Jie's communicator. It seemed like he was ready to dispatch everything. The attack on the right began. Accompanied by the suppressive firepower of Frank's Hell Destroyers, it seemed like there was no way to stop them.
A large number of Spirit-branded Retainers were controlled by their masters to fill in the defense line on the right. This gave Li Jie the best opportunity.
When Li Jie began to move, the fifteen Retainers controlled by Damon followed closely behind Li Jie. They were prepared to pierce through the outermost defense circle and subdue all the Onmyojis inside.
The most surprising thing was Dum. He seemed to be smiling under his mask. He didn't seem to be worried about his defense line at all.
"Kim Pyong, aren't you going to try your new toy? I'm curious who made your armor for you. "Dum touched Kim Pyong's sturdy armor with his hand.
"Everyone has secrets, don't they, Doctor?" Kim Pyong replied with a simple smile, then controlled his armor and left.
The assault team led by Li Jie was like a hot knife cutting through butter. They broke through the slackened outermost defense line of the Spirit-branded Retainers.
The electric blades with powerful cutting force cut through the monsters as easily as cutting through ordinary pieces of flesh, even though they seemed to have a hard outer armor.
The high-frequency vibrating particle knife that the Retainers were equipped with wasn't bad either. Tony used the special characteristics of high-frequency vibrating particles to cover the surface of the knife, and relied on the rapid vibration between the particles to form a chain cutting effect. This gave the knife an extremely powerful cutting ability.
Just as Li Jie's assault team was breaking through the inner layer of Onmyojis, a huge black figure descended from the sky. Kim Pyong operated his mecha to make an exaggerated jump.
