Chapter 220: The Oriole Lurks Behind, the Demon King Pacifies Heaven

When the Hook Soul Army broke through the Azure Dragon Legion's formation like splitting bamboo and began mercilessly encircling and killing Qiao Shefei, the entire battlefield seemed shrouded in a killing aura.

The soldiers of the Azure Dragon Legion fought bravely, but under the Hook Soul Army's fierce assault they appeared somewhat overwhelmed.

Qiao Shefei found himself surrounded, alone facing enemies surging like a tide.

His eyes revealed a mad battle intent; his Doomsday Twin Blades were wielded so tightly that not even wind could pass, each strike carrying the force of thunder.

However, the Hook Soul Army's strength was ultimately too great; their formation was tight and seamless, each charge cutting the Azure Dragon Legion's defenses like a sharp blade.

Seeing Qiao Shefei about to be overwhelmed by the enemy, the atmosphere on the battlefield grew increasingly solemn.

Just then, with Meng Zhang's order given, Niu Mo appeared on the battlefield with the Yellow Turban Warriors, as if heavenly troops had descended.

Instantly changing the battlefield's situation, each Yellow Turban Warrior possessed extraordinary skills and matchless bravery, wielding heavy weapons whose every strike carried the power to split mountains and crack stone.

And Niu Mo himself was like a heavenly general: tall and mighty, his muscles as hard as iron and stone, his mixed iron staff weighing hundreds of jin, each swing seeming able to smash any obstacle.

Under Meng Zhang's command, Niu Mo and the Yellow Turban Warriors quickly joined forces with the Azure Dragon Legion and began a fierce encirclement of the Hook Soul Army.

They cooperated seamlessly, their attack surging like a tide, soon forcing the Hook Soul Army into continual retreat.

The battlefield rang with clashing weapons and soldiers' shouts, fire spraying everywhere, smoke filling the air, the whole field seeming to become a purgatory.

"Follow me and kill!"

Niu Mo roared, his mixed iron staff striking a Hook Soul Army commander with the force of thunder.

Although that commander was not weak, under Niu Mo's fierce assault he appeared somewhat overmatched.

He exerted all his strength trying to use a military formation to block Niu Mo's attack, but in the end the mixed iron staff struck him, causing him to vomit blood and fly backward.

At this moment, Niu Mo's muscles were knotted everywhere, every inch of his skin seeming to contain explosive power.

His eyes burned with fierce battle intent, fixed on the Hook Soul Army ahead, as if he wanted to devour them all.

The Hook Soul Army, caught in a three-sided encirclement, was likewise unwilling to yield.

They surged forward like a tide, their formation tight, their steps uniform.

Each Hook Soul Army soldier had a cold expression, his sickle flashing with a chilling light, as if to slay any enemy daring to block them.

Boom!

When the two collided, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar erupted.

Niu Mo wielded his mixed iron staff, each swing carrying the force of thunder.

The mixed iron staff traced a long arc in the air before crashing down hard upon the Hook Soul Army.

Each strike seemed capable of collapsing the ground itself, countless Hook Soul Army soldiers being smashed to pieces under the staff's might.

The Hook Soul Army, unwilling to yield, waved their weapons in a dense barrage like a rainstorm, attacking Niu Mo.

However, Niu Mo's defense was astonishingly strong, his whole body ablaze with vigorous energy.

The Hook Soul Army's attacks on him felt like a tickle.

His muscles were as hard as iron and stone, his vigorous energy unusually thick, blocking every attack.

"Ding! Niu Mo's skills Demon King and Pacify Heaven activate!"

"Demon King: Great Strength Ox Demon, King of Demons! The Ox Demon King's exclusive heavenly general skill, evolved from Niu Mo."

"Effect One: Upon activation of this skill, martial force +5."

"Effect Two: As hostile intent and killing intent etc. negative will increase, martial force increases accordingly. Each activation adds +4 martial force, up to two activations, can be activated consecutively."

"Effect Three: Ignores any enemy negative effect skill, and according to the negative effect received, doubles feedback to the opponent; when facing one opponent, double feedback; 2 to 4 opponents, single feedback; 5 to 9 opponents, half feedback."

"Effect Four: During clashes between armies, can produce a certain degree of suppression effect on enemy morale; if a commander is slain, this effect can be correspondingly enhanced."

"Pacify Heaven: Sworn brotherhood of the Flower Fruit, equal to Heaven; this is the Pacify Heaven Great Sage—Great Strength Ox Demon King's exclusive skill."

"Effect One: Upon activation, self martial force +6."

"Effect Two: As combat proceeds, martial force increases: first activation +4, second +3, third +2, fourth +1."

"Effect Three: When affected by a negative skill effect, can immunize half of that negative skill effect (rounding up for odd numbers)."

"Effect Four: When fighting someone whose skill contains the character "Heaven", if their base martial force exceeds yours by X, your martial force is increased by an additional X."

"Current Niu Mo base martial force 108, weapon Pacify Heaven Mixed Iron Staff +1, mount Water-avoiding Golden-eyed Beast +1, Demon King skill Effect One +5, Effect Two activated twice consecutively, martial force +8, Pacify Heaven skill Effect One +6, Effect Two activated three times +4+3+2, current martial force rises to 138!"

"All of you, go die for this old ox!"

"War drums beat, heaven collapses and earth splits!"

"Niu Mo, this newly promoted heavenly general, at this moment activates the War God Dharma Aspect—Ox Demon King Dharma Aspect, like a demon king walking out of ancient myth, descending onto the battlefield."

"His eyes seemed to blaze with fierce fire, fixed on the Hook Soul Army ahead, intent on devouring them all."

"The Hook Soul Army likewise began to activate the Military School Dharma Aspect—Hook Soul Envoy, like a ghost in darkness, mysterious and unfathomable."

"Their figures began to flicker between light and dark, the sickles in their hands carrying a gloomy chill."

"Bang!"

"When the two collided, an even more heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar erupted."

"The Ox Demon King Dharma Aspect wielded a mixed iron staff likewise condensed from vigorous energy, each swing carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth."

"The mixed iron staff traced a long arc in the air before slamming down hard on the Hook Soul Envoy."

"In that instant, it seemed as if heaven and earth trembled, dozens of Hook Soul Army soldiers crushed instantly under this force."

"The Hook Soul Army within the encirclement, unwilling to yield, activated their mysterious Dharma Aspect, turning into dark phantoms that attacked the Ox Demon King Dharma Aspect from all directions."

"Their attacks were elusive like ghosts, yet the Ox Demon King Dharma Aspect seemed to possess precognition, each time accurately blocking their strikes."

"In the fierce battle, at this moment the Ox Demon King Dharma Aspect raged like a frenzied beast, charging wildly through the Hook Soul Army."

"Each collision could send several Hook Soul Army soldiers flying, broken apart."

"Although the Hook Soul Army's Military School Dharma Aspect—Hook Soul Envoy was mysterious and unfathomable, under the Ox Demon King's reckless, frenzied suppression of his internal vigorous energy, it appeared somewhat overmatched."

"They continually retreated, trying to reorganize their defenses, but each time were smashed into disarray by the Ox Demon King Dharma Aspect's mixed iron staff."
