"Young Lady Xiao Qing, they're here again."
After a short day, while everyone was suffering, a woman behind Xiao Qing, who also couldn't betray her, suddenly pointed forward and spoke.
However, no one said anything. That was because when she spoke, everyone had already seen the other party's silhouette appear in the distance once again. Furthermore, there did not appear to be any traces of battle.
"Prepare to fight! At this time, with Elder Yu here, we won't lose. "Xiao Qing yelled, trying to raise everyone's morale.
Unfortunately, there were only a few people who were pandering. The others did not make a sound.
The difference between them and the enemy was too obvious, making it impossible for anyone to resist. If they could run, they would have done so already. Why wait until now?
At this moment, the black palace that hadn't changed at all began to shake again. Soon, over a hundred black armored guards appeared in front of everyone, causing everyone's expressions to look much better.
However, no matter what, they still had to struggle. What if a miracle happened?
This time, these guards didn't move. Instead, they stood near the black palace. Thick black lines connected to them from the inside. Moreover, the guards' figures were somewhat illusory, as if they could be pulled back at any time. If this stalemate continued, these guards wouldn't disappear.
Senior Jin, who came with them, clearly understood this as well. However, he also knew a better method, which was to stay here in a stalemate. It probably wouldn't take more than a few decades for these people to collapse. However, these guards would still exist.
These hundred people weren't of much use to the battle, especially since many of them didn't have strong cultivations. He didn't want to waste so much time. He still had to go back and participate in Soul Alliance's matters. Only then would he be able to contribute even more.
However, he wasn't stupid. He didn't immediately go up, instead continuing to wait and prepare his own plan.
Xiao Fang was already fully armed, and he had many weapons in his hands to deal with the other party. They were all dyed with a layer of green light, which was very destructive to Demonic Spirits. This was the Qi of the green sword that Elder Gu had specially dyed them with.
"Why aren't they here yet?" Little Fang looked at the motionless team and felt very uncomfortable.
He was like a person who knew that he was going to die, but had to endure the suffocating feeling of drowning as he slowly watched himself die. Even if he had died once, he had been killed by his enemies before he died, so he didn't feel much fear. However, the scene before him was too terrifying. He had to forcefully endure it to make his voice sound normal.
"I'm afraid he's waiting for Ma Nan's side to come together. After all, the other party did not bring a Yao Soul that specializes in long-range attacks. Otherwise, we would have been bombarded long ago." Little Qing was not that afraid. Since they were going to die, what was there to be afraid of?
"Everyone, don't be afraid. How bad can it get? For your own sake, you must persevere." Little Qing continued to encourage everyone.
"Ma Nan's people are here too." Xiao Fang pointed and said when he saw a large group of people coming from the other side.
"What's there to be afraid of? Prepare to fight to the death!" Little Qing pretended to be disdainful as she took a step forward and stood in front of everyone, as if she wanted to shelter everyone from the wind and rain.
Even Jin Daren, who had been watching from the side, couldn't help but sigh in admiration of her.
"If he wasn't an enemy, I would be tempted to turn him into a Yao Soul."
It had to be known that turning someone into a Yao Soul would cost a lot. Under normal circumstances, it would only be worth it if they were at the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm or above, such as Ma Nan.
However, even with his current cultivation, he was tempted. It could be seen that Lord Jin truly loved talent. However, that was all. Even if she was able to motivate everyone, he could already see the final result.
This time, they had only brought two thousand Spirits of the Dead, which were Rotting Corpses. However, it was enough to deal with them. Moreover, they still had Ma Nan's group of over a thousand people. It was more than enough to deal with them.
"Kill!"
Ma Nan's people were already in position. After receiving Lord Jin's order, they immediately charged forward and charged towards Little Qing.
In particular, the team that Commander Mi had designated earlier was even more courageous. After advancing for a short distance, they were already close to the enemy. With a wave of their hand, a black ball the size of a head appeared in the air and charged towards the enemy.
It was not only them. Their companions behind them also launched long-range attacks. Although they were all single-target attacks, when they were waved, it was like a dense dark cloud had descended from the sky.
The monstrous power caused the expressions of Little Qing and the others to change. Although it was inconvenient for some of them to launch attacks due to distance or other reasons, a rough count revealed that there were close to six to seven hundred attacks in the air. Furthermore, most of them were attacks launched by Jin Xian's late stage and above. Even though there were over a hundred of them, they still felt powerless when faced with such a swarm.
Those with weaker cultivations were unable to withstand such a ferocious barrage of attacks.
However, before they could react, a black gas spread out from the Black Temple behind them. It circled above their heads and formed a seemingly weak defense. Through the almost transparent black gas, they could see that the enemy had already crashed into it.
The defense seemed weak, but it also depended on who the attacker was.
Those attacks were easily blocked by the defense. Even the next few waves of attacks were blocked by it. They did not cause any damage to the people below at all.
When they rushed up, most of the originally illusory guards had already condensed their bodies and rushed up. The remaining ones were still motionless. There were even some who were outside replenishing their strength. Clearly, they had yet to unleash their final burst of power.
"The enemy clearly still has a backup plan. No wonder they are not afraid of exhausting themselves."
At this time, Commander Mi had already arrived at Lord Jin's side. Looking at the guards that appeared again, he sneered.
"This time, I will have to trouble you. I will remember these sacrifices. When the enemy's final strength is drawn out, remember to retreat again. The next time we come up, it will be the enemy's death." Lord Jin laughed as if he could already see the scene of victory.
They were the attacking party, and the enemy was the defending party. When to attack was up to them. This gave them a lot of room to maneuver. After exhausting a portion of the enemy's strength previously, this seemingly all-out attack made the enemy believe that they were going to completely defeat them.
In reality, it was to draw out the enemy's final strength. When that time came, they would retreat. That would be the moment when the enemy was at their most desperate.
When that time came, they would probably be completely annihilated without any effort.
Of course, if they wanted to force the enemy to use their full strength, they would have to use their true strength. Ma Nan alone was not enough. They had to make the enemy feel that they were about to die. Only then would they reveal their trump cards. When that time came, it would be time for them to retreat. Only then could they minimize their losses.
This was the result of their discussion for a day. Both sides had already agreed. However, other than a few people, no one knew about it.
When he thought of the enemy's helpless appearance and could only wait for death, Lord Jin felt proud. They actually dared to go to the city and successfully escaped from under his nose. This was a humiliation in his heart.
"Should we go?"
Commander Mi did not know what the proud Lord Jin was thinking. However, when he saw that his side was about to come into contact with the enemy, he suggested to let the army of Monster Souls to press forward and suppress the enemy together.
"Wait a moment. When you guys really fight, I will launch a surprise attack from here. Only then can we trick the enemy. You won't be unwilling, right?" Lord Jin turned his head. The smile on his face disappeared as he said calmly.
"I wouldn't dare. I will listen to Lord Jin's orders."
Commander Mi saw that he was a little impatient and overstepped his boundaries. He quickly admitted his mistake.
"En, that's good. Wait for my orders. When the time comes, we will go together. Then, listen to my orders and go back together. Do not hesitate. Do you understand?" Lord Jin snorted coldly.
Commander Mi nodded. He did not say anything else and looked forward.
At this moment, the subordinates he led had already collided with the enemy's guards. Although they had a lot of people, the enemy only had less than a hundred guards. They were very weak. However, under the first collision, their side was like a wave crashing onto a reef. A layer of their side disappeared instantly. On the other hand, only a few guards fell to the ground. However, they quickly got up and continued to fight.
"Die, die, die!"
The leader of the first group was on the verge of collapse. Although he knew that the guards were powerful, he did not expect that in just one direct collision, all of his team members would die in the hands of the enemy. He was the only one left. It had to be known that among them were his companions for tens of thousands of years.
Thinking back to how he had cheered them on, saying that he would lead them to break through the enemy's defenses for Lord Ma Nan and establish the huge Miyase Empire, all of them were gone. Even that newcomer was gone.
If it hadn't suddenly dodged the sword-light under the enemy's shield, it would have followed in their footsteps.
At this moment, his eyes were completely red. After narrowly passing through the enemy's second line of defense, he turned around crazily. He did not carry out his initial plan of charging straight for the Black Hall. Instead, he directly slashed at the guard behind him.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing could be heard from the other party's body. At the same time, a huge force chopped down the guard who had his back to him.
However, this strike of hatred only left a very deep mark on the other party's body. It did not break through the other party's defense. Instead, his weapon directly collapsed.
However, he did not care. His whole body directly pounced forward. A trace of silver light lit up in his hand. Aiming at the guard's back, he fiercely slammed his palm down.
Bang! A loud sound rang out.
Behind the guard, a huge groove appeared. The groove around it was completely shattered. Even a rich grayish-white light could be seen inside.
"Die!"
Seeing that the other party still wanted to turn around, without waiting for the other party to get up, he immediately slammed his palm down in anger again. This time, a big hole instantly exploded on the back of the guard. Countless grayish-white light emerged from it and disappeared into the sky. One of the guards was completely eliminated.
However, just as he killed the guard, a black light flashed from the side and directly swept past his neck. His defense was shattered at the touch, and he was directly killed.
A peak expert of Jin Xian was like an ordinary person. He was killed with a single slash and did not even struggle.
This was also the cruel part of this place. The extreme lack of resources made everyone feel like they were naked. Coupled with the restraining weapons and their own special characteristics, it was very easy to fight to the death. This was also the reason why Commander Mi was not willing to waste too much energy.
These were all paid with their lives. Everyone was about the same. Only those with higher cultivation could suppress those with lower cultivation. If the situation was about the same, it was possible for them to die together.
In this place, unless it was a group of lucky people, most people were like this. When long range attacks were useless and there were no specialized soul tools, they could only fight with their lives.
Although almost a hundred people in the front row had died, it also opened up a gap for the people behind. As they swarmed forward, most of them broke through the formation of these guards. Moreover, the guards who were trapped in the crowd were attacked from all directions.
Although these guards were very strong, it was difficult for one shield to fight against four hands. Soon, they were at a disadvantage. The guards were killed one by one, and the losses on Ma Nan's side were much smaller.
Seeing this, Commander Mi felt a little relieved. These were the foundations that he and Ma Nan had snatched from Gu Cheng. They were also the subordinates of Gu Cheng. They had spent a lot of effort to build this foundation. Losing a single person was enough to make him bleed.
Perhaps they had realized that something was wrong, but the second batch of guards did not come forward. Instead, they all gathered outside the entrance of the Black Temple, surrounding Little Qing and the others to block the enemy's attack. Moreover, there was an endless stream of guards coming from behind, as if there was no end to them.
Ma Nan and the others took the opportunity to go to the side, wanting to break in from the side.
However, they were disappointed. These walls were as hard as diamond. They could not break through at all. Even the illusory figures of the guards could not break through. Instead, after the other side condensed, they directly counterattacked and caused many casualties.
Seeing all this, Sir Jin felt very uncomfortable. One had to know that the other side had snatched a lot of materials, which allowed the other side to have an endless stream of guards. Otherwise, it would be much easier.
He sighed in his heart and glanced at Commander Mi, who was watching with rapt attention, before opening his mouth to speak.
"Commander Mi, get ready. When my army of beasts goes up, follow me. At that time, we will be ready to retreat."
"Understood!"
Commander Mi turned his gaze and nodded heavily. His eyes were filled with excitement. That was the desire for battle. It was far more important than his own life.
Sir Jin glanced at his subordinates. His subordinates understood and nodded as well. Without any movement, all the beasts seemed to have received an order at the same time and began to rush forward.
Sir Jin and his subordinates also rose into the sky at the same time. Commander Mi was a step slower, but he quickly followed them and flew towards the Black Temple.
However, he was a little dissatisfied. Obviously, he did not wait for the beasts to go up and he had to start the second plan.
Although he was dissatisfied, he still quickly transmitted his voice to the supervisors over there to pass the message. As for those who could not be transmitted, they would also be reminded when they were retreating.
With their participation, the speed of the guards over there increased significantly. Even above the Black Temple, a greyish-white beam of light shot up to the sky. It was hundreds of meters high in the sky and like a shock wave, it turned into countless greyish-white light spots and spread out in all directions. No one knew where they landed.
However, everyone's attention was diverted when they saw that the greyish-white light spots had dissipated before they landed. Instead, they looked at the three incomparably huge cocoons hanging around the beam of light. It was obvious that they were the opponent's trump card.
One had to know that these guards of Jin Xian's early stage were already a headache for them. This aura seemed to be no weaker than that of Jin Xian's late stage. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to deal with them?
However, before anyone could think of anything else, the three giant cocoons had already exploded, revealing three guards with different appearances.
One of them was almost the same size as the guard below. He was three meters tall, but his appearance was completely different.
The originally heavy black armor had already turned into a red light armor that covered all parts of his body. It was obvious that his defense was not weak. The giant shield in his hand was also red, and it was even more ferocious than the ones in their hands. The head of a ferocious beast protruded from it. Its scarlet eyes stared straight down, and its mouth opened and closed as if it was going to swallow the opponent.
The defense that originally covered the head had also been removed, and it had turned into a crown that looked like two horns. Red feathers were inserted on it, making the beautiful face look particularly heroic.
Next to him was an equally beautiful woman. She looked like a beauty who had walked out of a painting. She had a delicate look on her face and wore a white robe. However, she held a willow branch in one hand and a bowl in the other. There was a silvery-white liquid in the bowl, which looked a little strange.
The other one was a female Daoist who wore a loose silvery-white Daoist robe. She held a book in one hand and a white horsetail whisk in the other. Her face was calm, and her eyes were especially calm. It was as if she could see through time and everything, piercing straight into the hearts of others.
More importantly, the aura on these people's bodies was at the peak of Jin Xian. This made Little Qing and the others, who had not yet come into contact with battle, even more excited. These were powerful guards that they had never seen before.
For them, the stronger their side was, the better.
At the same time as they appeared, a figure also leaped out from the Black Temple and floated in front of everyone's door.
Who else could it be but Elder Gu?
Even if there were three enemies who were not inferior to her, there was not the slightest trace of fear on her face. She wore an extremely simple green Daoist robe and held a long sword, but she gave people the feeling that she alone was unstoppable.
"Elder Gu, this is the time of your complete death. Do you have anything to say? If you want to surrender, it's still not too late. "
Before they could say anything, Lord Jin said with a smile.
"Surrender? I should be talking about you. Then die. "
Lord Jin's side had not expected this. He originally wanted to buy some time for Commander Mi, and the other side seemed to need more time to summon the guards, but the other side wanted to fight without saying anything.
However, in the face of their Elder Gu's figure, they did not fight and retreated.
After all, at this time, the other side's biggest trump card had been revealed. Their goal had been achieved. As long as this group disappeared again, they could be said to have no worries.
"Everyone, retreat!"
On the other side, Ma Nan and the others who were entangled outside the Black Temple, including Gu Zheng who was only doing his job inside, had received the notice. Hearing this, they immediately stopped fighting and quickly fled to the back.
Gu Zheng looked at Lord Jin in the distance, who was confident of victory, and the corners of his mouth revealed a slight smile.
The show had just begun.
