Dark clouds loomed over Taiji City's territory. Thick malice swept over like an avalanche.
Standing on the outer city walls, everyone could already see a large mass of darkness rushing over. It was the Ghost Race army.
"They're here!"
"They're here!"
"Everyone, get ready and wait for orders."
It was impossible for one thousand five hundred people to fight against the Ghost Race army that numbered in the tens of thousands, unless all of them had nine-star battle prowess.
But that was impossible now.
Compared to before, there were more nine-star battle prowess, but there were only about ten of them.
There were two reasons why they had to fight against the Ghost Race army. First, there was no way out. Second, they had to rely on the treasures they obtained from the Void Temple to resist as much as possible.
However, the Purgatory Ghosts were different from the Void Demons. Therefore, it was hard to say how effective they would be.
At this point, there was nothing more to be said.
They could only fight!
"There are more than ten thousand Purgatory Ghosts."
"I estimate there are close to a hundred thousand."
Everyone's faces paled.
The difference between ten thousand and a hundred thousand was obvious.
"We have to fight regardless of whether there are ten thousand or a hundred thousand."
"Get ready …" Yuanji Alliance Master's eyes were cold. His voice rang out. "Attack!"
At his command, rays of light suddenly flashed from the Ghost Race army's left and right, above and below them.
The rays of light were of different colors. They flickered like seven colors. In just an instant, they spread out like a scroll.
Seven-colored light filled the air from all directions, extending continuously as if it was about to turn into a cage, trapping the Ghost Clan.
"Fire!"
In an instant, three hundred giant crossbows shot through the air. The crossbows couldn't be seen. There were only three hundred straight streaks across the sky, leaving behind three hundred tiny cracks.
The Void Demon-Slaying Crossbows that were fully charged had the power to threaten nine-star battle prowess. It was extremely shocking.
After all, the Void Demons' invasion was the strongest in the Void Battlefield in the Void Realm. The Void Demon-Slaying Crossbows were a new type of war weapon that had been developed in recent years.
However, while it was powerful, it also meant that it was difficult to make. Three hundred crossbows were the limit that the various factions in the Void Realm could trade with the Void Temple.
The most difficult part of the Void Demon-Slaying Crossbow was not the crossbow itself, but the crossbow bolts.
The craftsmanship of every crossbow arrow was very complicated and required a lot of resources.
In other words, due to the difficulty of forging, the price of the crossbow bolts was extremely high. The price to pay was also extremely high. In other words, three hundred Void Demon-Slaying Crossbows could only fire one round. After that, they would become mere decorations.
He could only hope that the three hundred Devil-Slaying Crossbows would be able to kill as many Purgatory Ghouls as possible.
In the blink of an eye, three hundred Demon-slaying Crossbows tore through the sky and shot towards the army of ghosts like three hundred auroras.
Too fast!
The Ghost Clan's army was close to a hundred thousand in number, forming a huge black mass. Naturally, the Ghost Generals were at the forefront of the army.
The Upper-Level Ghost General's reaction was extremely fast. Facing the Demon-Slaying Crossbow, he could sense the terrifying power contained within it and did not hesitate to dodge.
Because if he didn't dodge, he might be severely injured.
While the Upper-Level Ghost General dodged, the Middle and Lower-level Ghost Generals could not dodge and were hit in an instant.
The structure of the Demon-slaying Crossbow was unique. Not only was it extremely hard and difficult to break, but the tip of the crossbow also contained a unique power that had an unparalleled penetrating power. Once pierced, a trace of terrifying power would be left behind and wreak havoc, destroying the body.
From the appearance of the Rainbow Cage to the suppression of the Ghost Clan army to the shooting of the three hundred Demon-slaying Crossbows, it took less than a breath's time.
The Ghost Clan knew that the humans would definitely counterattack, but they did not expect it to be such a counterattack.
In the blink of an eye, the Ghost Generals were pierced through one after another, or had their arms and legs broken.
The two Ghost Kings of the Ghost Forest Tribe, Ghost Forest Jesse and Ghost Forest Jie Luo, were also attacked by two Demon-slaying Crossbows. However, as experts at the peak of the Demigod Realm, although the Demon-slaying Crossbows were powerful, they were not threatened by them.
Without dodging, they struck out instantly. The two extremely powerful Demon-slaying Crossbows were instantly smashed into pieces.
Not only that, but the Demon-slaying Crossbows around them were also smashed by the two Ghost Kings, saving the rest of the Ghost Clan.
Even so, there were still more than two hundred Demon-slaying Crossbows. Each of the Demon-slaying Crossbows pierced through one Ghost Clan after another. As long as they were hit, regardless of whether they were pierced through or injured, they would be destroyed by the power of the Demon-slaying Crossbows.
The Demon-slaying Crossbows were weapons of war developed by the mysterious Void Temple. They possessed an extremely powerful power and seemed to be very effective against the Purgatory Ghost Clan.
Only the Upper-Level Ghost Generals could truly resist the power of the Demon-slaying Crossbows. The Middle Ghost Generals were instantly pierced through. As for the Lower-level Ghost Generals and Ghost Soldiers, needless to say, they were irresistible.
Piercing, piercing, piercing!
As the crossbows pierced through, the power contained in each of them was greatly consumed.
Finally, when the crossbows were exhausted and stopped, the last trace of power detonated the crossbows. Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Beams of terrifying power instantly shot out in all directions from the exploding crossbows. It was like a flash flood or an earthquake.
The power of the explosion was so strong that fine cracks appeared in the void around them. The cracks spread rapidly and covered a radius of 100 meters.
Once they were affected, even the strong bodies of the Purgatory Ghost Clan would be destroyed and they would die.
The 1,500 Ghost Clan members all stared with their eyes wide open as if they were watching a magnificent fireworks show.
More than two hundred Demon-slaying Crossbows exploded within the army of the Ghost Clan. The power was extremely terrifying. Each of the crossbows could cover a radius of 100 meters and destroy everything in its path.
Even with the strength of the two Ghost Kings, they could only suppress a small number of Ghost Clan members.
As such, the army of the Ghost Clan immediately suffered many casualties.
Each Demon-slaying Crossbow pierced through at least 20 to 30 Ghost Clan members and at most, up to 100 Ghost Clan members. It displayed shocking power and killed thousands of Ghost Clan members.
After the explosion, it covered a radius of 100 meters. Although many Ghost Clan members reacted quickly and dodged, some of them were still affected and their strong bodies were destroyed in an instant.
More than 10,000 Ghost Clan members were killed. In total, there were more than 20,000 Ghost Clan members dead.
It was only one round of attacks from the Demon-slaying Crossbows, but it had killed more than 20,000 Ghost Clan members. Such a battle record was extremely shocking.
If there were a few thousand more Demon-slaying Crossbows, they might be able to kill all the Ghost Clan members.
But that was just wishful thinking. The resources of the various forces in the Void Temple could not even reach 1,000 Demon-slaying Crossbows, let alone a few thousand.
Being able to trade for 300 crossbows this time was already the limit of the Void Temple. In this way, they could already kill nearly 20,000 Purgatory Ghost Clan members in one go. The power was extremely shocking.
The 1,500 Ghost Clan members on the city wall were all dumbfounded.
The power … was so strong!
They could only use the word "terrifying" to describe it.
The two Ghost Kings were also astonished.
In just one exchange, more than 20,000 Ghost Clan members had died. The loss was not small. It could be said to be disastrous.
The Human Clan had such means. Why hadn't they used it before?
Shock … Anger!
The 20,000 Ghost Clan members who were killed left behind more than 20,000 strands of Origin Essence. They flew out of the city and merged into the bodies of the 1,500 Ghost Clan members.
The charging of the 300 Demon-slaying Crossbows was done over and over again by the Ghost Clan members.
For a time, some obtained a few strands of Origin Essence, some obtained more than a dozen strands, and some more.
Chen Xiu alone obtained hundreds of strands of Origin Essence.
Unfortunately, these strands of Origin Essence were useless to him. He could leave them for his true body.
After obtaining the strands of Origin Essence, the Ghost Clan members did not hesitate to refine and absorb part of them to improve their cultivation and combat strength. They left a small portion for backup.
The strands of Origin Essence could not only improve cultivation, but also heal injuries.
First, it was the suppression of the Seven-colored Cage that limited the Ghost Clan's reaction. Then, it was the Demon-slaying Crossbows that caused more than 20,000 Ghost Clan members to die.
Although the casualties were great, it was nothing to the nearly 100,000 Ghost Clan members. At least, they still had more than 70,000 Ghost Clan members left.
"Kill!" The two Ghost Kings roared. Their murderous intent filled the air. The remaining Ghost Clan members regrouped and pushed forward. The horrifying murderous intent wreaked havoc like a destructive tide.
"Load the crossbows!" Yuanji Alliance Master ordered at once.
In an instant, 300 more crossbows were loaded.
These were not Demon-slaying Crossbows. They were just ordinary crossbows that could threaten a Six-Star Warrior at most. They were also exchanged from the Void Temple, so their value was much lower.
However, these crossbows were superior in quantity. After careful calculation, it was the most reasonable trade.
Shoot, shoot, shoot!
In the first round, they had killed more than 20,000 Ghost Clan members and obtained a lot of Origin Essence. It was a great motivation for anyone. They were full of motivation as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
They kept taking out and loading the crossbows. They did not even need to aim. They just shot.
In a short time, they could shoot out three crossbows. Each of the bolts carried great power. Even a Low-rank Ghost General would be injured if he was hit head-on.
Compared to the Demon-slaying Crossbows, these bolts were much weaker. Even if they hit the Ghost Soldiers, they could only kill one of them. They could not pierce through the Ghost Soldiers, let alone explode.
The Ghost Clan members were densely packed. They attacked like a storm.
At the same time, Chen Zong followed closely behind them.
A long sword at the level of a Divine Instrument could be easily broken. It was not as useful as the Heart Sword Dao Intent.
Kill!
Chen Zong moved like a puff of smoke. He was extremely light and swift. He seemed to be illusory, and he was soundless.
He killed with his sword!
Coming from behind, one man and one sword could not be resisted at all.
Every time he killed a Ghost Clan member, Chen Zong would obtain a strand of Origin Essence, which he used to improve his physique cultivation.
As the army advanced, Chen Zong's final attack went unnoticed. The two Ghost Kings were furious. Their killing intent covered the sky. However, they only targeted the front. They did not notice the back.
They did not think that someone would be bold enough to follow behind them and attack them.
He had killed hundreds of ghosts, but they were all at the level of ghost soldiers. Their origin essence was unable to significantly improve his body refinement cultivation.
In addition, Ghost Soldiers were Ghost Soldiers after all. Ghost Generals were more threatening.
