Blades flashed, and blood rained down.
Below the royal city, mountains of corpses were piled high.
After activating [Soul Advent], Xu Huai Shang was like a demon that soared through the sky. Wherever she went, death spread like a gale.
Even though Xu Huai Shang was also fighting with cold weapons, her killing speed was not something that Xiao Tan or Bill could compare to …
As a master of energy control, Xu Huai Shang could infuse her weapon with 'blade aura', and this blade aura could be adjusted according to her will.
For example, when she wanted to kill off a small group of soldiers, she could use her energy to increase the range of her weapon. This way, with one horizontal slash, she could kill an entire row of enemies. When she ran into sweepers, she could use her energy to increase the power of her attack, and with overwhelming force, she could kill them quickly.
Right now, Xu Huai Shang, who was in the [Soul Advent] state, could use far more energy than she could in her normal state. She had almost single-handedly turned the tide of the battle around.
On the other hand, since earlier, Xiao Tan and the Billy brothers had given up on the 'inefficient' method of clearing out the enemy troops. Instead, they started to target the sweepers.
Obviously, this was the most logical strategy. Using their abilities to clear out the enemy troops was not a good idea, but it was perfect for dealing with sweepers.
As the number of sweepers decreased, many of the warriors in the royal army who were good at AOE were able to use their abilities more safely and more easily. This way, they could increase the efficiency of clearing out the enemy troops.
To put it simply, with the efforts of the two players and the NPCs, this was the first time that … 'the speed at which we killed the enemy troops' was faster than the speed at which the enemy troops were replenishing their forces'.
After this phenomenon persisted for a period of time, naturally … the pressure on the royal army's various battle fronts lessened. They finally began to truly feel that the number of enemies was decreasing.
"Citizens of the monster kingdom! It is time for us to strike back! "Mr. Hanji saw the opportunity and shouted in the middle of the battlefield.
He knew that this was the last shout, and also the last chance. If this wave of attack could kill off 70 to 80 percent of the enemy troops on the battlefield, then perhaps … they could buy themselves a chance to breathe and buy more time for Feng Bujue.
"Fight it out with them!"
"Break their bones!"
"Kill them all! Avenge our fallen comrades! "
"Beastmen will never be slaves!"
"Roar ~"
"For the monster kingdom!"
For a moment, the tens of thousands of wounded and exhausted fiendish demons and ghosts once again squeezed out the remaining strength in their bodies and launched another round of counterattacks.
Even though this was not the strongest wave of attacks so far, it was still the most ferocious. Some of the monsters had already lost part of their limbs in the previous battle, but they still charged towards the enemy without hesitation. They wanted to use their mouths to bite a few of them to death as bait.
In the face of such determination and such an offensive, the redundant army … showed signs of retreat for the first time.
The remaining sweepers had already decided to order their troops to retreat through the tactical control system. They would wait until the number of redundant troops on the frontlines had reached a certain level before they could make a comeback.
If … they really retreated at this moment, in a sense, it was equivalent to letting "victory" slip through their fingers. This was because by the time they regrouped, the kingdom's army would have had a certain amount of rest. Besides … by that time, Feng Bujue would have returned.
The monster kingdom did not expect to rely on their own military strength to kill the redundant troops. Their original goal was to buy time. Only with time, they would have the capital to look forward to the last "hope".
However, things did not go so smoothly.
Just as the tide of the battle was about to turn, a black demonic figure … appeared on the horizon.
At that moment, the battle around the king's city suddenly stopped.
The redundant troops, who were already retreating, withdrew from the city walls, and the soldiers of the king's army did not continue to pursue them.
Everyone's attention was involuntarily focused on the demonic figure. No one could take their eyes off of it because of its monstrous demonic aura.
"Already … here …" Dianli King stared at the War Demon from the sky and thought to himself, "Looks like … this is the end."
Old Wang, who was born in the previous era, knew the War Demon's strength the best. In this era, he had also imagined that the War Demon would have some changes, but … after seeing the War Demon in action at the Detective Club, Old Wang once again confirmed that … after so many years of being sealed, the War Demon's combat strength had not decreased.
It could be said that Dianli King was more desperate than anyone else present at the moment.
At the same time, Xu Huai Shang's [Soul Advent] state had reached its limit and was removed by her. Goddess Xu's [Soul Advent] state was similar to Ruo Yu's [Extreme Efficiency] state. It was very taxing on the mind, and she could not use it endlessly.
"Phew …" Looking at the approaching War Demon, Xu Huai Shang adjusted her breathing as she muttered, "This thing … is there really someone who can slow it down …"
Her question was immediately answered.
In the blink of an eye, while everyone was still in a daze due to fear and confusion, a figure … had already rushed towards the War Demon in the distance.
It was none other than Wang Tanzhi.
"What is this kid doing?" Freddy, who had already arrived at the frontline, could not help but exclaim.
"Howdy ~ ho ~" Mr. Hanji was also shocked.
Of course, it was not just them. Everyone, including the sweepers, could not understand Xiao Tan's actions.
From all angles, it seemed like he was going to die …
"Hmph … ant." The War Demon's thoughts were the same as everyone else's. Looking at Xiao Tan who was rushing towards him, he only snorted disdainfully and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.
From his point of view, no matter what kind of attack Xiao Tan launched, it would all be futile …
The War Demon of today was no longer the War Demon who had just come out of the Door to the Void, nor was he the 'eyeless' War Demon, nor was he the War Demon who was sealed away …
The War Demon in front of him had grown to a state that was even stronger than he was at his peak in the last era. To him, this was an unprecedented state.
The current him could use his body's density to resist unbelievably high physical damage. He could use the Mana that leaked out unconsciously to evaporate most of the effects of energy on his body … Even if he just stood there and let his opponent attack him, there were only a handful of existences in the main universe that could kill him.
No one knew what kind of method Xiao Tan could use to fight the War Demon, except for … Xiao Tan himself.
