Battle
"Keep your spirits up! Is this the time to be afraid?"
Outside Maple City, a bearded man wearing armor and holding a longsword walked in the air.
Beside him were similarly armored Maple City Guards, surrounded by ferocious-looking wraiths.
"Woo …"
The vengeful spirit let out a strange cry and bit the bearded man. The middle-aged man was caught off guard and was bitten by the vengeful spirit.
"General."
The guard couldn't help but express his concern. The bearded man's brows suddenly furrowed. He turned around and slashed the vengeful spirit away. He ignored his own injuries and scolded his guard.
"If you have the time to worry about me, why don't you think about how to protect your family? As a soldier, fear is not a word in your dictionary. As long as you are afraid, if you retreat … then the ones who will be hurt will be your family and the people who believe in you! "
The bearded man glared angrily. He glared at the Cursed Grudge around him and raised the sword in his hand high up.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The guard's eyes were also bloodshot as he recklessly charged towards the endless vengeful spirits.
They had no way out. Maple City was their home, and behind them stood the lover they swore to protect for the rest of their lives.
They could only fight to the death without retreating!
As expected, Ye Zichen and the others encountered the wraiths' ferocious attacks.
Unfortunately, these vengeful spirits were not very strong. It was just their numbers that made one's heart palpitate.
Before long, all the vengeful spirits near the teleportation point were wiped out.
"Boss Ye, we've settled everything here. Where do you think we should go next?"
Third Fatty Jin checked the injuries of the surrounding juniors. After confirming that they were all fine, he walked in front of Ye Zichen and asked.
"Which city are we closest to in the outer regions of the Immortal Region?"
Ye Zichen carried the blood scythe on his shoulder. After killing so many wraiths, the scythe's blood-red color had become even more crystalline.
"Red Maple City and Hundred Flowers City are both nearby, but in terms of battle prowess, Hundred Flowers City has the Hundred Flowers Gate guarding it, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem."
Ye Zichen nodded, "That's right.
"Then let's go to Maple City."
Third Fatty Jin nodded, then rose into the air and flew towards Maple City. Ye Zichen, who was at the back of the group, gazed into the distance.
"You must live."
"General, our people …"
The guards of Maple City were covered in blood. Of course, the blood belonged to them. Lying around them were guards who had lost their ability to fight. The remaining guards not only had to protect their comrades, but they also had to fight the vengeful spirits. The situation was unspeakable.
The minimum requirement to become a Maple City Guard was to be an Earth Immortal.
All in all, these vengeful spirits were at best spirit bodies. Vengeful spirits that could become Earthen Immortals were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
However, it was precisely this group of weak vengeful spirits that nearly annihilated this group of elite guards.
"General, let's retreat. We don't need the north gate anymore. Let's go back and meet up with the governor. Let's activate the Hucheng Formation."
The rest of the guards tried to comfort him, but Beardy was not much better off. His Immortal Grade Spirit Qi Battle Armor was torn apart by these low-level vengeful spirits. His burly arms were also dripping with blood to the ground.
"Laozi doesn't want to hear that!"
The bearded man glared at the surrounding guards and berated them.
"The City Lord and the young city lord's only son will guard the east gate. Leisure House, a faction within the city, volunteered to guard the south gate, while the travelers in the city volunteered to guard the west gate. City Lord, let me guard the north gate and give all the troops to laozi. You're telling laozi to retreat? I'm telling you, there's no such thing as retreat for my troops. Do you understand? "
With that, the bearded general raised his blunted sword and charged at the Vengeful Spirits without hesitation.
"Come, laozi wants to see just how fierce you guys are."
"Laozi's done!"
Many guards chose to throw away their weapons and run towards the city gate in such a hopeless situation.
There were simply too many vengeful spirits. They could not see any hope of winning in a situation like that.
Thus, they chose to run in the face of fear and despair.
Dong.
However, before they could take a few steps, the guards ran into an invisible barrier.
"Open the barrier, laozi wants to go in."
The guards kept hammering the barrier. The guards standing on the city wall looked reluctant, but they still shook their heads resolutely.
"City Lord has ordered that the city formation will not be removed until the vengeful spirits are gone."
At the same time, a group of vengeful spirits appeared behind the guards who wanted to enter the city to seek refuge. The vengeful spirits pounced on him and instantly tore his flesh into a bloody mess.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding guards all gulped and tightened their grip on the weapons in their hands.
Since the city was not taking them in, they had no way out.
Beardy, who was fighting with the group of vengeful spirits in the air, smiled bitterly. Actually, he already knew that the City Barrier Formation would be activated the moment they came out.
Those who came out of the city to face the enemy had all come out with the belief that they would die.
Bang.
The sword that had slashed countless vengeful spirits finally broke at this moment. The moment the sword broke, the vengeful spirits seemed to have received a signal to attack and instantly surrounded Beardy.
"You want to eat laozi? I'm afraid you won't be alive."
The bearded man's body suddenly turned red. He had already prepared himself for the worst.
Self-destruct.
"Go to hell, all of you!"
His fists fiercely blasted away the surrounding vengeful spirits. With bloodshot eyes, he flew to the place with the most vengeful spirits.
Boom.
Within a hundred meters, all the vengeful spirits were eliminated. The guards who were still guarding the city with their weapons couldn't help but tear up.
"General."
The guards who had lost the ability to fight on the ground cried out in pain. Then, they gritted their teeth and crawled around the vengeful spirits.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
Explosions rang out one after another. The surviving guards watched as their comrades left one after another. The flames of hatred instantly turned into their strength. They tore off their armor and gave up all defense, charging towards the vengeful spirits.
"Die, all of you, die."
As soon as they realized that they had lost the ability to fight, they all chose to self-destruct.
The number of soldiers outside the city decreased. The guards standing on the city walls watched as their comrades chose to self-destruct in exchange for a moment of peace in the capital.
An hour later, the northern city gate was completely annihilated.
The guards who maintained the City Barrier Formation on the city walls were already crying their eyes out. They were indeed still alive, but they had personally witnessed their brothers who had fought alongside them for decades, or even centuries, die in battle …
