"Rumble!"
The mountain where Thunder Sound City was located began to crumble. Countless millstone-sized rocks were crushed by an invisible force before they could even land on the ground. They turned into dust and fell to the ground.
Zhu Hun and the rest of the Monster Souls were watching this shocking scene from afar.
Everyone knew that there was a terrifying force inside. However, they had the treasures given to them by the Heavenly King. Even though the aura that leaked out shocked them, they did not panic. Instead, they sharpened their swords and prepared to attack the enemy. After waiting for so many days, it was finally their turn to act.
The mountain in the distance was collapsing rapidly. Soon, the outer layer of rocks had all fallen off, revealing the core, which was the true appearance of the Thunder Sound City. On the surface of the green and black rocks, there were many patterns that dazzled one's eyes.
A huge mountain had completely disappeared, leaving behind only the Thunder City.
Some of them were already damaged, while others were still shining brightly. However, they were still three times bigger than an ordinary city.
"Looks like the rumors were right. Why was Thunder Sound City built in such a remote place? But it's a pity that it's gone. What's left is gone too." Zhu Hun looked at the pieces of black stone and said regretfully.
He did not have time to feel heartache because a visible force had already gathered outside and was about to explode.
The force was so strong that Zhu Hun even suspected that the red halo would not be able to stop it. He turned his head slightly and gave an order.
Soon, a defensive barrier was erected around them, just in case. He believed that the Heavenly King's power was enough to protect them.
They waited for a long time, but to Zhu Hun and the rest, it felt very slow. Suddenly, the light in front of them brightened and an extremely dense white light shone in all directions. It was impossible to look directly at it, causing everyone to look away.
Everyone felt that the air suddenly became quiet, as if they were the only ones in the world. Before they could fall into this strange silence, a huge tremor came from the ground. Everyone felt as if they were experiencing a magnitude 10 earthquake. Even though they were prepared and tried their best to stabilize their bodies, the force on the ground ignored their defenses and caused everyone's bodies to stiffen.
Other than the elders of the various clans, everyone had already fallen to the ground from this enormous force. The entire ground was constantly cracking with cracks that were hundreds of meters deep. The black void in the depths of the ground was completely devoured.
Zhu Hun was paying close attention to his subordinates. His eyes were glued to the sky because the red light curtain that enveloped the outside was being pulled up by a huge force from inside. It was stretched to several hundred feet wide, like a super huge red balloon hanging in the air, enveloping all of them below.
The enormous force inside caused some white light to pass through. It seemed that the red barrier at any moment.
"Hold on! Hold on! "
Zhu Hun realized that he had miscalculated for the first time. He had asked City Lord Luo about the force of the explosion. However, it seemed that he was at least half of the initial stage of the pseudo saint..
The entire balloon had been stretched to its limit. Once it could no longer support the vast sea of energy inside, it would leak out in all directions. At least most of the people would be buried under the remnant power. Even the elders of the various clans would be severely injured. When that time came, he would have no choice but to return in defeat.
Let alone annihilating Soul Alliance, the majority of his forces had been wiped out. Even dying ten thousand times wouldn't be enough to make up for this sin.
There was a self-protection mechanism inside. It wouldn't be affected at all.
Perhaps Wen Tianhou's strength was a level higher. Fortunately, he had asked Heavenly King to help him make this thing for safety. After half a cup of tea's time, the white light inside weakened. The red barrier was able to completely block the shockwave.
Zhu Hun finally had the time to observe his surroundings. His expression immediately became gloomy.
Although the shaking had stopped, he had already lost thousands of subordinates. After a simple gathering, a full seventh of his forces had been lost for nothing.
"Quickly gather and kill the enemy. Don't let anyone pass." Zhu Hun's tone was filled with anger. "Also, it's time for you guys to show your worth."
The last sentence was directed at the Soul Alliance members who had run out.
They had no choice. Their desire to slack off had been shattered. They could only follow Zhu Hun towards the center ruins to deal with their former comrades.
Puppet Demon Soul was at the front. The remaining clans followed behind. The elders of the various clans took the lead and slowly squeezed towards the center.
.....
"There's a reaction, Young Master Feng!"
When the Demon Soul died here, the Shura clansmen who had been defending here became excited when they saw strands of red mist gathering inside the crystal ball.
In just a short while, nearly a tenth of the crystal ball had been filled.
"Why did it stop?" Seeing the crystal ball stop changing, the others exclaimed again.
"Don't make a fuss. This is just the prelude. All of you stand in your respective positions and prepare to forcefully tear open the space to welcome the arrival of the elders and their companions." Young Master Feng stood up and suppressed his excitement as he gave the order.
"This will be the glory of our Shura clan!"
.....
"Quick, prepare for battle!"
It was chaos outside, and it was chaos inside as well. That was because the defense was supposed to protect everyone, but it was damaged at the last moment. Many people did not have time to react before they were torn apart by the tyrannical power outside. Fortunately, there were not many casualties.
Once the outside calmed down, the people who couldn't move began to get busy. Soul Alliance members even ordered their subordinates to gather towards the east.
From their previous observations, the west was led by Zhu Hun and the main force of Floating Soul. The east wasn't any weaker and had the elites of Ghost Species. The back was the weakest, with only a few lonely ones that had been beaten so badly that they were almost stripped of their title of Four Species.
Their main force was outside and hadn't returned from the last operation. It seemed that they were doomed.
The south was the Illusion Species, which was the second weakest.
However, they could only choose to break through from the east. Even if they were surrounded by enemies, as long as they could break through and leave Soul Alliance's territory, they would have a chance of survival.
Everyone knew their current situation and began to move as if they were facing a great enemy. However, at this moment, the Demon Souls had already surrounded them from all directions.
As for Luo Gong, he had mysteriously disappeared in the chaos just now. No one had the time to look for him now.
"Soul Alliance, from today onwards, your name will be removed. Everyone attack and kill them."
In the distance, Zhu Hun could clearly see them and a voice that everyone could hear floated through the air.
The Demon Souls underground immediately wailed and howled as they sped up.
At the center, Soul Alliance had just started moving. They had no choice but to stop and guard their surroundings to block the enemy's charge.
If they forcefully broke through now, their formation would probably be broken through by the enemy. When that happened, they would be forced to fight on their own and there would be nothing they could do.
Right now, they were like a reef in the ocean. The Demon Souls around them were like raging waves that wanted to tear them apart.
"They're still approaching us. It's too late."
Immediately, Pan Xuan spoke to Madam Xue below.
In the distance, there was a group of people led by City Lord Nie Xing. Previously, they were heading towards them, but now they were also forced to stop. The Demon Souls in the distance were already nearing them and had even come into contact with them.
"There's no need to save them. There's no other way. I hope City Lord Xing doesn't do anything stupid." Madam Xue said painfully.
"Madam Xue, don't be sad. I'll leave the command to you. Find an opportunity and leave the battle as soon as possible. Lady Pan, please protect Madam Xue." City Lord Liu first spoke to Madam Xue before flying into the air and speaking to Pan Xuan.
Right now, all of Soul Alliance's members had flown up and were cautiously looking into the distance. The enemy's elders floating in the air outnumbered them by more than twice. In other words, each person had to face at least two or three opponents. This made it difficult for each of them.
The only thing they could do now was to hold on for as long as possible and buy time for the people below to break through. They also had to make sure they didn't die.
"Remember, if there's no other choice, leave the battle and escape by yourself. Don't do anything stupid." In the sky, City Lord Liu gave a final encouragement to the others.
"Don't worry, we're not stupid. However, we'll definitely hold on until the last moment." City Lord Niu laughed.
When the others heard such demoralizing words, no one else reacted because this was a helpless compromise.
"I hope so. Even if one of us survives, one of us will be able to avenge our fallen comrades in the future." City Lord Liu looked at the approaching enemies. "For Soul Alliance, begin the battle."
After City Lord Liu finished speaking, he took the lead and charged forward.
"For Soul Alliance!"
The other members also shouted in unison and rushed up behind him.
"It's also for themselves!"
These were the words in their hearts because they had already become one with Soul Alliance. They would prosper together. Without Soul Alliance, they would only be a relatively powerful expert. No one would care about them.
The Soul Alliance members below felt the ground tremble and were more or less nervous. They all gripped their weapons tightly. Without Thunder Sound City's protection, they could only rely on themselves.
If they didn't live, they would die. The demon souls definitely wouldn't let them live. In other words, they had no way out.
Accompanied by a huge impact, the Demonic Puppet Souls in the distance were already charging towards them from the front row.
The puppets here were mostly thick-skinned corpse soul puppets mixed in with a few other demon souls. They acted as the meat shield at the front and forcefully tore open a gap. The other demon souls were behind them, entering Soul Alliance's interior.
No matter how one looked at it, the demon souls were superior to the opponent in terms of both size and strength. However, the accident just now caused the demon souls to lose a lot, so they didn't seem to have the advantage in numbers.
"Honglonglong"
Before the battle on the ground had even begun, the battle in the air had already begun. As Soul Alliance's city masters, they had many good items on them. In this aspect, they were stronger than demon souls. This was especially so for City Master Liu, whose entire body flickered with radiance. He was fighting against six Floating Species elders alone and didn't seem to be at a disadvantage.
As for the other City Lords, they were also fighting against the other elders. Each of them was fighting against at least two elders. The slightly stronger City Lords had one more enemy surrounding them.
However, as soon as they started fighting, they didn't fight to the death. Adding on their luxurious equipment, they didn't seem to be at a disadvantage.
However, if this continued, it would be hard to say. The longer it went on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them. Regardless, they could still block the opponent's attacks for now.
While the battle above was intense, the battle below was also starting.
Facing the demon soul's attack, the Soul Alliance members on the outside had already erected layer after layer of defense in front of them. Only those at the back managed to launch a few limited counterattacks, but they were all blocked by the opponent's defense.
The opponent was determined to fight them in a chaotic battle and use their advantage.
Even if normal demon souls knew a few techniques, most of them didn't know how to use them or were good at using them. Only after reaching human soul could they make up for this shortcoming. They were good at close combat.
"Pu pu pu"
The Demonic Souls at the front rammed into the defense at the front. Suddenly, the huge black tide stagnated. The Demonic Souls at the front were directly smashed into pieces by the force. However, as the light flashed and shattered, the sufficient defense was quickly broken through by the other side. After losing the Demonic Soul Puppets at the front, the battle finally began.
Soul Alliance's side also raised their weapons and started fighting. Their defenses had already been maximized to slow down the opponent's charging speed. Next, they would have to fight head on without any regard for their lives. Either live or die, there was no other choice.
Looking down from above, one could see that the originally orderly Soul Alliance camp was starting to be infiltrated by the opponent. The outside was starting to become chaotic.
Angry shouts and sounds of fighting resounded in the sky. Occasionally, huge explosions would ring out. Occasionally, attacks would fall from the sky, instantly flattening the ground. It was as if they were in purgatory.
Any formation was useless here. They could only rely on themselves and their companions.
In just a short moment of contact, there were huge casualties. Soul Alliance's outer layer members had already fallen into the demon soul army. What awaited them was their final death. Before they died, the greatest damage they could deal to the opponent was their own self-detonation.
"Rumble" explosions rang out, but they couldn't completely kill the demon souls.
Similarly, the demon soul puppets acted as the vanguard. Even if they could resist, under the continuous attacks, they were riddled with wounds. Their bodies gradually began to fade away. However, they successfully ripped open an opening, allowing the following demon souls to successfully break in. With the opening as the center, they continued to spread in all directions, nibbling away at Soul Alliance's team.
"The outer layer has already fallen into a bitter battle. We have to stop the opponent from breaking through. Take a few people to the north …"
Inside, Madam Xue's expression was calm. She listened to the news from nearby. Pan Xuan was above her, looking at the surrounding situation. This allowed her to understand the surrounding situation and start giving orders to Soul Alliance to last a bit longer.
They all knew that it was impossible for their subordinates to defeat the opponent in the wild. The difference in strength was too great. Now, they had to first slow down the opponent's attacks before finding a way to open up a path of survival.
"Gu Zheng, where are you going?" Madam Xue had just finished arranging everything when she saw Gu Zheng stand up and walk outside.
"I'm going to find someone and settle some debts with them. Don't worry about me." Gu Zheng didn't even turn his head. He raised his hand and spoke behind him.
"Don't ask him. He's going to find the leader of the demon souls here, Zhu Hun."
Madam Xue wanted to warn him of the danger, but Pan Xuan interrupted her.
"Why? The opponent has a few powerful elders protecting them. He can't be their opponent alone. "Madam Xue didn't understand and raised her head to ask.
Logically speaking, the opponent couldn't do something so irrational. Even Pan Xuan had her shortcomings.
"There are some things he has to do. Don't worry, he knows what he's doing. He won't throw his life away." Pan Xuan could only say so.
"I hope so."
Madam Xue sighed and no longer paid attention to Gu Zheng. She glanced at the obedient child next to her and continued to busy herself.
Gu Zheng raised his head to determine the direction before walking step by step towards the Candle Spirit. In front of him, no matter if it was the Soul Alliance people or the Demon Soul people, they didn't seem to notice him. In fact, they even unconsciously opened a path for him, allowing him to smoothly walk over.
"Senior Soul, do you want me to deal with that person?"
One of the Elders who was guarding Zhu Hun sensed an aura coming from the front that was directed at Zhu Hun. He looked over and saw Gu Zheng, who was quite special, and said,
In his opinion, the opponent was only from Soul Alliance and had the lowest cultivation among them. Perhaps he knew that Zhu Hun gave him a similar cultivation and decided to provoke him. To them, taking him down would be very easy.
"No need. If we really fight, you may not be his opponent. He's an old friend. Let him come." Zhu Hun looked at Gu Zheng and said with interest.
"What?"
The Demon Soul Elders were shocked. Since Zhu Hun said that they might not be a match for Ye Xiwen, then they were definitely not a match for Ye Xiwen. However, Ye Xiwen's cultivation was much lower than theirs, which was simply unbelievable.
Although they didn't believe it, since Zhu Hun had spoken, they didn't stop Gu Zheng. They even helped him remove a few traps along the way so he could safely walk over.
"We meet again, Zhu Hun!"
Gu Zheng quickly came to Zhu Hun's side and said expressionlessly to Zhu Hun.
This place was far away from the fighting area. There were less than a thousand people behind Zhu Hun. They weren't affected by Gu Zheng, but because of Zhu Hun's orders, they could only stare fiercely at Gu Zheng.
"I didn't expect you to come here. Your perseverance is truly shocking. Do you want to save your servant girl?"
Zhu Hun looked at Gu Zheng and laughed, as if he really was an old friend.
