A Huge Gap
The iron chain road was like a bridge that connected the ground and the city walls. Spiritual energy flowed on it, causing it to emit a sturdy aura that deeply shocked the hearts of the crowd.
"Charge!"
A low roar rang out. Below, the ten thousand elite soldiers stood still like stone statues. Behind them, countless burly elite soldiers rushed out. Their feet stepped on the iron chain road, and like dragonflies skimming the surface of the water, they quickly rushed towards the city wall.
At the same time, the rest of the elite soldiers rearranged their formation and turned into a sharp knife. They tore apart the heavy yellow sand and charged towards the tall city gates of Soaring Swallow City. Their footsteps trembled, causing the ground to tremble violently. The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
"Set up the arrow formation and block the enemy's attack with all your might!" Wu Jing Xue stood above the city walls. Seeing the enemy's large scale attack, the murderous intent in his heart was completely ignited.
Just as he finished speaking, the one hundred thousand soldiers also ignited a torrential ferocity. They held their bows with their left hand and pulled the strings with their right hand. The tips of the arrows made of refined steel were refracted by the faint light and flickered with frightening cold light.
These one hundred thousand soldiers were originally stationed at the bitter cold border all year round. Not only were they brave and good at fighting, they were also not weak, having all reached the Earth Spirit Realm. At this moment, strands of Baleful Yin Qi were released, suppressing the entire space. The one hundred thousand soldiers all held their breaths and gathered their spiritual energy into the arrows in their hands.
"Shoot!"
Wu Jing Xue waved his arm. In an instant, tens of thousands of arrows were released. Ear-piercing buzzing sounds trembled as they landed on the iron chain road and landed among the countless elite soldiers.
However, facing such an attack, the enemy had no intention of stopping. Dense spiritual energy was released and their speed did not decrease. Instead, they increased their speed and actually took the initiative to meet the dense and terrifying arrow formation.
"Are they crazy?" Many of the city guards had astounded expressions when they saw this. Right when these words were spoken, their already surprised faces surged with astonishment, and their eyes opened wide while they were actually unable to utter a single word.
In their field of vision, thousands of arrows landed on the elite soldiers running along the iron chain road. The arrows were sharp, but the moment they came into contact with the armor of the elite soldiers, they let out a crisp sound. Sparks flew in all directions, and after leaving behind white arrow marks, they fell down powerlessly.
Below the city walls, the arrows landed among the elite soldiers, but before they could cause any damage, they were blocked by a massive earthen yellow shield wall. The arrows could not be torn apart, could not be penetrated, and could not even stop the enemy's attack.
Ding ding ding ding!
As the arrows landed on the armor, crisp sounds rang out incessantly. In just a short moment, tens of thousands of elite soldiers passed through the iron chain road and descended onto the city wall. They held shields in their left hands and sabers in their right hands. With a single step, they charged over like ferocious wolves, killing the hundred thousand soldiers defending the city.
It must be known that the number of elite soldiers that crossed the Iron Chain Avenue was not many, and there were only thirty thousand of them, while the number of soldiers guarding the city was as high as a hundred thousand. There were also fortifications set up around the city, and they had the advantage of the terrain.
The ferocious actions of the thirty thousand elite soldiers were more like a provocation. Immediately, the hundred thousand soldiers guarding the city felt that they were being looked down upon. All of them gripped their weapons tightly and charged forward as well.
Rumbling sounds rang out as the soldiers from both sides clashed. In an instant, the space became extremely chaotic. Weapons clashed and blood filled the sky. Countless roars intertwined, and it was impossible to distinguish who was coming from whom.
A soldier guarding the city had a deranged expression. He gripped his cold longsword tightly and leaped forward. The tip of his sword pierced towards an elite soldier in front of him, but it was blocked by the opponent's sturdy armor and could not penetrate even half a bit.
"How is this possible?" The soldier guarding the city turned pale with fright. He gritted his teeth and guided his longsword, mobilizing all the Spiritual Energy in his body. The sword flashed with a dazzling light and pierced towards the neck of the elite soldier again.
Clang clang clang …
The sword slashed down again and again. Every sword slash was extremely tricky and accurately landed on the neck of the elite soldier. However, the armor of the elite soldier was heavy. Although the sword slashes were sharp, the effect was very low and could only produce sparks.
When the tenth sword slashed out, the armor that protected the neck of the elite soldier finally shattered. Accompanied by a pillar of blood, the head of the elite soldier was sent flying into the sky. It dyed the sky red before it crashed to the ground.
The soldier guarding the city had killed the elite soldier, but there was no trace of excitement on his face. Instead, he became extremely pale. There was no other reason other than the fact that during the ten sword slashes, the elite soldier charged forward fearlessly and continuously waved the blood-stained longsword in his hand. He had already killed a total of ten soldiers guarding the city.
In other words, it took ten soldiers guarding the city to surround and attack a single elite soldier and kill him on the spot. At the same time, the ten soldiers guarding the city would also lose their lives.
"This elite soldier's cultivation is about the same as mine, but by relying on his armor and huge shield, he can take on ten of us alone. His killing power is unparalleled. In this battle, we …" The soldier guarding the city looked at the mottled bloodstains on the ground. Due to his shock, his entire face began to tremble.
However, before he could finish speaking, a merciless longsword swept over and chopped off his head. Blood filled the air as he fell from the city wall and disappeared in the rolling yellow sand.
This scene was not a coincidence. It happened all over the city wall.
Although the soldiers guarding the city had the advantage of numbers, the equipment of the 30,000 elite soldiers was far superior to theirs. A single slash from the sword did not hurt or itch at all. It would take ten people to surround and attack to kill the elite soldier.
Exactly because of this, the chaotic situation on the city wall gradually became clearer. The 30,000 elite soldiers vaguely suppressed the 100,000 soldiers guarding the city. The more they fought, the more corpses there were on the ground. The number of corpses increased at a terrifying rate.
"The Daluo Golden Sect is skilled with the blade. They possess blade intent and are particular about being forceful and thick. The Divine Firmament Hall is skilled in defense. Their cultivation methods are mainly defensive, while their martial arts are complementary. Once the two are combined, every single elite soldier has a powerful defence."
"Apart from that, the equipment of these elite soldiers are all ritual implements, while the soldiers guarding the city only have precious weapons. The difference between the two is huge. Let alone 30,000, even if 10,000 of them come, we'll probably be stuck in a stalemate."
Mowang Gong overlooked the whole situation and took in every detail. His expression was extremely ugly. He turned around to look at Wu Jing Xue, only to find that Wu Jing Xue was staring at him with an equally ugly expression.
"Since the enemy's defense is amazing, their charging speed must be weak. We should seize this opportunity and rely on the power of the Jingtian Army to …" Wu Jing Xue quickly expressed his thoughts. But at this moment, a deafening explosion burst out from below, causing the void to tremble.
