Perilous Situation
Late at night, the weather was slightly chilly.
Rays of moonlight sprinkled down, but before they could touch the gate of Soaring Goose Pass, they were annihilated by the dazzling light of the Spiritual Arrays. Afterwards, roars and howls erupted at the same time, causing the space to tremble.
At this moment, Soaring Goose Pass was enveloped by countless Spiritual Arrays, blocking the charge of the elite soldiers time and time again. Under the Spiritual Arrays, there were countless corpses piled up like mountains, and blood dyed the ground red.
Mowang Gong and Lin Tianchong stood side by side at the gate. The two of them looked down at the scene in front of them, both of them speechless.
"Twenty-seven days have passed since the 3,600,000 elite soldiers set out. In this short period of time, 100,000 soldiers guarding the city have died, and more than 400,000 innocent civilians have been killed. The Star Suppressing Guards and the Imperial Guards have also suffered great losses. They have already lost 260,000 people."
"Every second that passes, there are people dying in this valley, becoming one of the mountains of corpses. This kind of killing will continue and become more and more tragic."
Mowang Gong was the first to speak, and there was a trace of emotion in his voice.
The total number of the Star Suppression Guards and the Imperial Guards was three hundred and sixty thousand. Now, there were only a hundred thousand people left. Almost every day, there would be close to ten thousand people dying. Wave after wave of people rushed into the Spiritual Arrays, forcibly stopping the charge of the elite soldiers.
And this result was established with the help of the Beast Tide. If Chu Xingyun had not been able to trigger the Beast Tide, the 3.6 million elite soldiers would have attacked, and Soaring Goose Pass would not have been able to stop them.
"Chu Xingyun said that if he was given thirty days, he would be able to completely turn the situation around. We have already held on for 27 days, so three more days won't matter." Lin Tianchong smiled and said in a slightly joking manner.
Hearing this, Mowang Gong also smiled and replied to Lin Tianchong, "I heard that Chu Xingyun only spent ten days to collect all the Five Metals in the world. Then, he went into seclusion in the Sword Tomb. For ten whole days, there was no sound and no movement. It's too strange."
"If it was so easy to guess, then he … wouldn't be called Chu Xingyun." Lin Tianchong curled his lips. Although he said this, he was also very curious.
Twenty-seven days of the thirty days deadline had passed. In three days, all the mysteries would be revealed.
With this thought in mind, Mo Wanggong and Lin Tianchong looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths lifted slightly. Just as they were about to speak, a rumbling explosion suddenly sounded. Then, the entire valley trembled violently, and the light of the spirit array blossomed wildly, illuminating the night sky.
"What's going on?" Mowang Gong said in a deep voice. In his field of vision, elite troops charged in from outside the valley. Their momentum was like that of wolves and tigers. They seemed to want to forcibly break through the Spiritual Arrays and attack Yanxiang Pass again.
"Advisor, the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Firmament Hall have suddenly launched an attack. They're only three kilometers away from the Soaring Goose Pass right now. They'll be here very soon," a heavy-armored soldier quickly walked over and said in a particularly anxious manner.
"Launching a surprise attack in the middle of the night. Haven't they gotten tired of this kind of method?" Lin Tianchong snorted coldly and said to the heavily armored soldier, "The Star Suppression Guards and the Imperial Army will operate the Spiritual Arrays with all their strength to restrain the enemy's momentum. At the same time, let Wu Jing Xue lead the three thousand Jingtian Army to charge and disrupt the enemy's formation."
After this period of attack and defense, Lin Tianchong was already familiar with the situation and quickly gave out orders.
However, as soon as his voice fell, a resounding and ferocious dragon roar sounded in the void in front of him. The Extreme Fiend Evil Dragon, which was wrapped in a purplish black Baleful Qi, dashed towards the elite troops with great ferocity.
"Soldiers, heed my command! Follow me and slay the enemy!"
Wu Jing Xue's voice rang out. Soon after, the thousand-meter-long Extreme Fiend Evil Flood Dragon swooped down. Its baleful Qi was terrifying. When it came into contact with the elite soldiers' bodies, it immediately seeped into their internal organs. They let out mournful howls.
Behind the Extreme Fiend Evil Dragon were the figures of the Star Suppressing Guards and the Imperial Army. They landed in the Spiritual Array and released their spiritual energy. The light of the Spiritual Array shot into the sky. In just a moment, all the Spiritual Arrays were activated to the extreme and firmly protected the Soaring Goose Pass.
The rumbling sounds were endless. Under the suppression of the Extreme Fiend Evil Dragon and the spiritual array, the attack of the elite soldiers became sluggish. When they were one mile away from the Soaring Goose Pass, they couldn't advance any further and were forcefully stopped.
"Looks like they are at their wit's end." Seeing that the other party's attack was gradually dispersing, Lin Tianchong smiled. This night's attack was still daunting but not dangerous.
"Is that so?"
A mocking voice rang out, causing Lin Tianchong's expression to freeze. He raised his head and saw Lin Yuanli and Gu Xuanfeng standing in the void in front of him. They looked calm and composed.
"Everyone, get ready!" Gu Xuanfeng's mouth twitched and he raised his right arm high.
Rumble!
At this moment, the valley trembled violently, and long cracks even appeared on the ground. Soon after, Lin Tianchong's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen something inconceivable.
Outside the valley, the continuous roars of the beasts suddenly disappeared. One after another, elite troops rushed over. It was as if there was no end to them and they instantly condensed a terrifying aura.
"Kill!" Gu Xuanfeng shouted and the elite troops charged forward.
In an instant, the originally thick and sturdy spiritual arrays were instantly torn apart. The elite troops charged forward, causing the hearts of those who were operating the spiritual arrays to tremble violently. Before they could do anything, they were mercilessly drowned by the elite troops.
"Strange, why are there so many elite troops? Furthermore, they are charging at the same time as if they want to fill up the entire valley and force their way in." Wu Jing Xue and the 3,000 Jingtian Army transformed into the Extreme Fiend Evil Dragon and had already penetrated deep into the enemy's territory. At this moment, the number of elite troops here was shocking. Not only were they not afraid, they forcefully charged forward and surrounded him.
"Not good!" Suddenly, Mowang Gong seemed to have thought of something and suddenly realized. "We have all been tricked. The Beast Tide has already retreated. In order to fool others, they purposely made us lower our guard before launching a strong attack."
Hearing this, Lin Tianchong's face also turned pale. He immediately sent a voice transmission. "Wu Jing Xue, quickly return to Yanxiang Pass. This is a trap."
Wu Jing Xue's expression darkened. As he turned around, he and the 3,000 Jingtian Army transformed into the Extreme Fiend Evil Dragon again. The dragon's body was ear-piercing as it swept past the elite troops and forcefully opened a bloody path.
However, when Wu Jing Xue killed his way out of the encirclement, countless elite troops charged towards him from all directions. Sword radiance covered the sky and a wall of shields stood tall, forcefully blocking all paths of escape.
At the same time, the surrounding spiritual arrays and fortifications were all destroyed. They were forcefully destroyed by the elite troops. The people inside the spiritual arrays and fortifications were all dead without exception.
