"Two thousand Monster Souls, and they're all elites!"
Xiao An was dumbfounded and subconsciously repeated the number.
"We won't let you down. We'll definitely break that thing."
Wang Cheng, who was next to him, said immediately. He didn't even blink, as if he didn't feel that those elites were a threat to them.
"We're not afraid either. Although we're outnumbered, we can still defeat them and complete the mission," Shen Qing said solemnly.
"Yes, yes, yes. After training, we're not even afraid of death. What's there to be afraid of?" Xiao An patted his chest and said.
They didn't kill the enemy, but to complete the mission. Relatively speaking, there were still many of them.
The patrol members were also considered elites. Along the way, they had secretly compared themselves. To some extent, they were even stronger than Wang Cheng's companions.
"That's good. After you go in, I'll give you a layer of protection to ensure your safety. But remember, you must break the floating ball inside. Otherwise, you won't be able to come out. Do you understand?"
Gu Zheng had already begun to slide the ball together. A golden door, more than a hundred feet wide, was slowly taking shape.
"Understood!"
Wang Cheng had already begun to prepare to rush in. The patrol team next to him also lined up neatly. Vaguely, everyone's positions were a little different.
At this moment, even if they had inadvertently used the strategy that Yan Yufei had taught them, there were too many Monster Souls inside. In addition, they had never experienced such a situation before, so they were a little nervous.
Gu Zheng's figure retreated. The golden thread in his hand was already the size of a finger. The hall in front of them was enough to create a large enough gap for them to prevent the people inside from blocking them.
"Get ready, go!"
Gu Zheng glanced at them, then paused at the last sentence before activating the golden thread in his hand.
In the middle of the hall, golden light suddenly lit up as if it was burning. A small hole appeared in it and quickly spread out.
In just a few breaths, a huge space had appeared in the middle, revealing the Monster Souls that had been prepared long ago.
In fact, as soon as a small gap appeared, the Monster Souls inside launched a series of fierce attacks. They wanted to take the initiative and attack the enemies outside.
However, Gu Zheng had long since been prepared. At the gap, a layer of faint golden ripples, like water ripples, constantly vibrated, completely blocking the opponent's attack.
If he didn't have the energy to spare to attack the other party, Gu Zheng would directly use brute force to open a gap for them to step into. Even if the inside was filled with black fog, they could still clearly see a red floating ball floating in the distance, which was also their target.
"Go!"
Wang Cheng calmly shouted. A black object flashed in his hand and turned into a layer of protection. With a thick layer of protection, he immediately led the charge forward. Even if the demon soul in front of him would definitely attack him, he was not afraid, as if there was no danger in front of him.
Almost at the same time as his voice fell, the team members behind him also raised their defenses and picked up their weapons. Their expressions were similarly cold, as if they were indifferent to life and death as they charged forward together with him.
"We can't fall behind them. Everyone, follow me. I'll take the lead and open a path for everyone."
When Xiao An saw how unyielding the other party was, he also felt fearless. He immediately drew his weapon and shouted to the people behind him.
"How can we let you monopolize it? Let's go together!" Xiao Qing deliberately said as he stood beside Xiao An.
"Me too!"
Another person behind him also stood up and said the same thing.
The others who were a step behind sighed and retreated a bit. That was because there were only three people in front of them that could pass through. The others were all occupied by Wang Cheng's side.
Wang Cheng was already prepared to die. He knew that once he entered, he would become a target for everyone. Even if he used all his strength to defend, he would most likely be killed by the concentrated attacks of the other party.
However, there was not the slightest ripple in his heart. Even if he died, he would take one more attack for the brothers behind him to minimize their losses.
As soon as he entered, he swept his gaze over and found that everything was more or less as he had expected. In front of him, over a hundred demon souls had already begun to move, throwing attacks that they had prepared for a long time. Even more of them were already looking behind him, only bringing them in to deal heavy damage.
He activated his defenses to the maximum, fighting for a bit of time. Then, he closed his eyes and directly charged forward.
Rumble!
A series of explosions rang out from the entrance, almost blowing up the passage that Gu Zheng had opened.
Wang Cheng could feel explosions erupting outside his body, but what puzzled him was that the ferocious attacks were like an itch to him. He only felt a slight tremor outside, as though he was hiding in a thick layer of protection. None of the attacks could penetrate it.
Bang!
Before he could figure out what was going on, he found that he had already crashed into something, knocking the other party aside. He also stopped and opened his eyes.
In front of him, over a dozen demon souls were swaying left and right. Just as they were about to get up, the demon souls beside them had already surrounded him, directly launching close-range attacks.
To them, their weapons were their own bodies. They were stronger than any external weapons.
"Captain Wang, be careful!"
Xiao An, who had just entered, saw that the other party was actually so powerful, and he was filled with admiration, loudly warning him.
However, Wang Cheng was a bit confused. This shouldn't have happened to him. He had originally thought that he would die, but in the end, he found that he was completely fine. Such a contrast made him unable to react for a moment, and he could only watch as the demon souls beside him attacked him.
"I'm going to die this time."
At this moment, Wang Cheng's mind suddenly popped up with a ridiculous idea.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth that had never changed for thousands of years stiffened and wanted to pull open a smile.
That face that had never smiled before, but before he could smile, over a dozen attacks had already landed on his body, instantly sending him flying. His whole figure flew up and landed high in the team behind him. His subordinates had already caught him.
"Charge! Charge! "
Over there, Shen Qing was leading his people to charge forward. He had already made contact with the demon souls and had no time to pay attention to anything else.
They didn't charge forward in a straight line. Each small team covered each other in pairs, and then the ten of them formed a strange formation, a little protruding here and a little concave there. It looked very strange.
Although it was strange, the force was very strong. In just a face to face encounter, it broke through the formation of the demon souls, and charged forward without slowing down.
On the other side, Wang Cheng had already charged to the front again. Full of energy, he picked up his weapon and charged in with his team.
The reason he didn't die was very simple. It was because when everyone entered, they would be covered with a layer of golden light protection. That was because Gu Zheng was afraid that they would lose too much if they charged in, and specially used his mana to add a layer of protection to them. After Wang Cheng was pulled up by his subordinates, he finally understood why he didn't die.
Not only him, everyone had a layer of protection on them. They charged forward without fear of death. No matter how strong the attacks of the demon souls were, they couldn't break through that layer of protection. Instead, they were beaten back by all of them.
However, even if the demon souls lost a lot of people, they still charged forward, one after another, and stopped them from advancing. All kinds of attacks were constantly thrown at them, trying to break through the protection and kill them.
However, the protection was indestructible. It didn't look like it was going to break, and it was futile.
They didn't know that the protection could only last for a short period of time. It was connected to the golden light outside, and as the passage behind them slowly closed, the golden light on their bodies also gradually dimmed.
"It's all up to you now!"
Gu Zheng muttered as he withdrew his palm. The black curtain in front of him closed once again.
If they couldn't break through it, they would die inside. However, if they could, Gu Zheng would be able to save them immediately.
Apart from the initial defense, he couldn't provide any help. Whether they lived or died, it was all up to them.
However, Gu Zheng wasn't going to wait here like an idiot. Instead, he flew towards one of the battlefields.
On this huge battlefield, Guan City's side had already fallen into a disadvantageous position. They were surrounded by countless Monster Souls and were unable to break through the encirclement. If this continued, they wouldn't be able to hold on for more than half a day and would collapse.
Normally, Huang Wei and the others would help them. Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a difficult situation. Even if their morale was high, the demon souls weren't afraid of death at all. Even if they were the last one to die, they would still attack them.
In just a dozen breaths, Gu Zheng crossed the distance and arrived at the battlefield.
Without hesitation, Gu Zheng immediately took action.
Waves of blood-red waves appeared in mid-air once again, crashing down from all directions towards the Demonic Soul with a roar.
The demon souls on the periphery didn't resist and directly disappeared. Those that struggled with difficulty also followed in the blood-red flames. Large numbers of demon souls began to disappear.
Not knowing what light it was, except for the demon souls at the front, the rest of the demon souls began to retreat without any warning. They were like countless ants, scattering all over the ground and escaping outside.
Those demon souls inside started to rush forward crazily as if they were committing suicide. It was as if they wanted to drag you down before they died.
Green light spots also fell rapidly, but they didn't fall towards the demon souls. Instead, they fell towards the soldiers of Guan City in the middle.
Those light spots fell on them and merged into their bodies. Because of their physique, the healing effect wasn't very good. However, it still gave them a boost of energy, allowing them to resist the final attack of the demon souls.
Gu Zheng didn't care about the demon souls that were escaping. Although it was easy to kill them, they were scattered. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to kill many of them even if they all ran away.
"Victory!"
After Gu Zheng came down and defeated the remaining demon souls, countless cheers rose up from below. At the same time, Gu Zheng also received countless grateful gazes.
Some people were so tired that they were paralyzed on the ground. Some people rejoiced that they had won, and some people chased after the few remaining demon souls.
In the crowd, Gu Zheng immediately saw Tie Tou and Ying Xi, who were equally eye-catching. Around them, many people were surrounding them, excitedly discussing something.
At the same time, there were many people beside him who were also thanking Gu Zheng for his help.
They knew that Gu Zheng had arrived very early, so they felt that it was normal for him to choose the Black Tower first. After all, even if they won and Xu Jia's side lost, they would also lose.
Gu Zheng nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions. His figure once again flew away and quietly waited beside the black fog.
Once this layer of defense was broken, he would first have to disperse the demon souls so that they wouldn't interfere with his matters.
Just as he landed here, there was also an intense battle going on inside.
Although the red ball wasn't far from them and they felt that they could cross it with a single charge, the densely packed demon souls in the middle were blocking them without any fear of death.
In the beginning, they had relied on the power of the golden light to rush forward unscrupulously. However, after the golden light dissipated, their journey became more difficult.
The demon souls were almost desperately blocking in front of them. It was as if they were fighting to their deaths, making it difficult for them to move forward.
"Damn it, there aren't many of them. Why can't we kill them all?" Shen An swept with all his strength and directly hit a demon soul that had no intention of dodging. Before he could move forward, another demon soul rushed up and launched a new attack on his chest.
"There's something strange here. Those demon souls that were heavily injured didn't lose their fighting strength. Instead, they quickly recovered." Shen Qing looked around and said very calmly.
"So it's like that. No wonder I felt that some of the demon souls were familiar!" Xiao An didn't need to pay much attention to these demon souls. He simply swayed and sent them flying again. He also blocked the demon souls in front of him and took advantage of the situation to take another step forward.
It wasn't impossible to completely kill them. In fact, it was very difficult because the other party's attacks were endless. They were like a lone boat in a vast ocean. If they wanted to chase after them, they had to take the risk of being overturned. Naturally, they couldn't take the risk.
"Should we join up with them? That way, the pressure will be less." Zhe Xing was behind them and immediately said when he saw the situation.
At this moment, Wang Cheng's side was bearing the brunt of the attacks. There were only two demon souls in the middle. Now, they were moving forward side by side and were almost at the back of the other party. In a while, they would be left behind by the other party.
The other party's huge team, in addition to the team that followed orders, was advancing slowly. It was much better than them advancing a little bit from time to time.
"No need. Let's think of a way to see if we can break that red ball in advance." Shen Qing immediately rejected the idea and gave a slightly more reliable suggestion.
It wasn't that he didn't want to. It was just that they were few in number. Moreover, the previous assault training had allowed them to cooperate very well. The other side had already suffered a lot of losses. While their side was a little slow, they were still moving with ease.
Once they joined up with the other party, they could only follow them. In that case, even if they had more people, it would be more useful to hold back a portion of the demon souls here.
And from their current position, they had already rushed more than half the distance. The red ball seemed to be within reach, which made their thoughts quicken.
In this place filled with black fog, although they couldn't see clearly, it was still possible to cross this distance and do something.
"Although Lord Gu said that the defense above isn't weak, we're so close. Let's try our methods!" Xiao An said immediately. Then, he took out a chestnut dart from his chest. Then, it turned into a cold light in the air and flew toward the red ball not far away.
But to their disappointment, these chestnut dart didn't even fly half the distance before it gradually melted into the black room.
"Damn it, if we could fly here and surround them from all sides, the other party wouldn't be able to withstand it." Xiao An saw this and said angrily. At the same time, he turned his depression into strength and sent the surrounding demon souls flying.
Since there was no chance to completely kill them, there was no need to ask them.
"This won't do. If this continues, we might not be able to get close to the red ball. Or rather, if we really get there, we won't be able to break the red ball before we'll be drowned by these enemies." Shen Qing circled around and said anxiously.
As they got closer and closer to the red ball, the demon souls recovered faster and faster. Although Wang Cheng's side had killed many demon souls, as the pressure increased, he could clearly feel that the other party's speed had decreased.
"Why don't we use that?" Zhe Xing heard Shen Qing's words from behind and understood what the other party meant. He immediately took the opportunity to suggest.
"That's too risky. If it doesn't work, we'll all be wiped out." Xiao An turned his head and quickly glanced at Zhe Xing, then said in surprise. Although he didn't agree, he didn't object either.
"If we can't get out, we'll still die in the end. It's better to play early than to die late. What's there to be afraid of? Ask the captains behind us and have them prepare. "Shen Qing took out an idea and directly ordered.
"Okay!"
Shen Qing and Xiao An were the ones Gu Zheng had asked them to command them. Since they had spoken, Zhe Xing quickly passed down the instructions.
Not long after, Zhe Xing had already reported the opinions of all the captains.
Don't worry, as long as the black curtain is broken, Lord Gu will be able to protect us immediately. Don't worry, and if it's too late, I'm afraid everyone won't have enough strength. Have everyone prepare. After twenty breaths, we'll forcefully change the formation. "Xiao Qing comforted him and then said again.
Now that things had come to this, they could only use that dangerous method.
Break the cauldrons and sink the boats. If they didn't succeed, they would die trying.
This was the ultimate move that Yan Yufei had given them. It was most suitable for this kind of small group.
Once they started, there was no turning back.
Twenty breaths of time passed in the blink of an eye. Streaks of black light spread out from all of their bodies and connected them as one. At the same time, a huge aura rose from each of their bodies. The originally tight formation was forcefully dispersed. The Demonic Souls around them were like ragdolls and were sent flying without any resistance.
"Charge!"
Following the shout of the leader, Shen Qing, the formation was like a team of swift swallows. With an aura that despised everything, they charged forward.
