Chapter 563

~15 min read 2,981 words

It was chaotic, all chaotic.

The order of the previous duel of generals was completely lost at this moment, and the entire battlefield fell into chaos.

Because the Mechanical Princess Shuang Ling was fully blocking Xiang Yue's charge, many Nascent Soul level cultivators were liberated and took the lead in attacking the camp walls.

The Blood Shadow Cave Master participated in the battle again, waving his hand to release a hundred crimson ribbons.

The ribbons pierced through the electric net, leaving only half, and struck the city wall, causing blood to seep into the wall bricks and causing them to collapse rapidly.

Zhao Xi shouted, threw out a military token, released Iron Wall Dao Soldiers, and with the addition of military power, temporarily suppressed the demonic blood.

The Poison Scorpion Cave Master giggled, her cloud gauze fluttering, and the scorpion tail stinger behind her hips stabbed fiercely dozens of times.

Each forward stab condensed into purple-glowing tail-hook needle shadows, flying through the air and piercing into the city wall. Three watchtowers on the city wall exploded, and purple poison mist accompanied the explosion, spreading rapidly to the surroundings, eroding the bricks and stones into flying ash before they could even fall.

"Demoness, die!" The army under this section of the city wall was precisely the Red Flower Camp.

As the main general, Mu Lan naturally would not sit and wait for death, immediately drawing her bow like a moon and shooting at the Poison Scorpion Cave Master.

Mu Lan's divine ability, Red Heart Swan Arrow, had unparalleled power and was already well-known and deeply remembered by both enemy and ally.

Therefore, when the Poison Scorpion Cave Master saw Mu Lan raise her bow and arrow to shoot her, she screamed and fled to the rear, like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow, not daring to linger for even a second.

Mu Lan's divine ability had previously caused heavy damage to Lord Long, killed Di Lu, and defeated the Ancient Azure Moon God, making her name fearsome.

Although the Mechanical Princess Shuang Ling had also defeated many Nascent Soul cultivators, she had not been able to cut the weeds and dig up the roots, and the Nascent Souls of Bi Tengyi and others had all escaped.

From this perspective, although Mu Lan was only at the Jin Dan level, in the eyes of the enemy, she was even more terrifying than Shuang Ling!

Mu Lan sneered and put away her bow and arrow the next moment.

Military Art—Bluffing!

This military art could consume military power, making a cultivator's aura changeable. Because of this, Mu Lan disguised herself as if she were performing the Red Heart Swan Arrow divine ability, deceiving the Poison Scorpion Cave Master.

Relying on this move, she scared off a strong enemy at the minimum cost.

The Poison Scorpion Cave Master was deceived but was not annoyed, instead covering her mouth and giggling.

But the rest of the Thousand Peaks Forest soldiers generally felt their hearts tighten.

Mu Lan had revealed this method; from now on, every time she used the Red Heart Swan Arrow divine ability, they would have to be careful.

Because they could not distinguish between the fake and the real; even if it were fake, they had to defend with all their might!

What if it were real?

Wolf howls rose loudly.

Gu Ya pointed his wolf-fang club forward, and countless wolves rushed forward one after another, gathering into a tide of soldiers and charging fiercely at the city wall.

Azure Sea Soldier Tide Formation!

The formation cultivators in the Liangzhu Kingdom camp immediately activated the magic formation; this was one of the three major city-protecting formations.

In an instant, azure waves surged, gushing out from the surface of the city wall, washing away all enemies.

The wolf pack was submerged by the azure waves, and more than half were lost on the spot.

The azure waves soon transformed this battlefield, turning the original mountain stone ground into a shallow water swamp.

Gu Ya activated his spells to support the remaining wolves, continuing to charge at the city wall.

But the next moment, a large number of soldiers rose from the emerald-green puddles.

These Dao Soldiers, condensed from green water, rushed toward any nearby enemy.

Clearly, they had no consciousness and did not form any battle formations; they just attacked with all their might, attacking continuously.

Gu Ya sighed in his heart and had to mobilize the wolf pack to fight these Azure Wave Dao Soldiers.

Li Jiuqu laughed strangely, put away the Rotting Immortal Poison Basket, and released a large swarm of Golden Silkworm Gu.

The Gu swarm gathered into a ball, flashing with dark golden luster, directly piercing through a large section of the city wall, crashing into it and gnawing it into a honeycomb.

Zhao Xi held his scepter high, and the patterns on his official uniform shone brightly: "The King's command is like a mountain; all evil, disperse!"

National Art—National Might!

Zhao Xi was an imperial envoy and naturally had national power added to him, making his combat power strong, far from what a Jin Dan cultivation could represent.

The national might was vast, sweeping across the Golden Silkworm Gu swarm.

Crackle, crackle.

In an instant, a large number of Gu insects either exploded directly under the national might or fell to the ground, suppressed to death.

Zhao Xi cleared away most of the Gu swarm and remained full of energy.

National Art consumes national power; Zhao Xi's own magic power reserves had not even decreased by a fraction.

Li Jiuqu's face turned livid, his resentful gaze locked tightly onto Zhao Xi.

And the latter held his head high and chest out, staring at Li Jiuqu from across the vast, chaotic battlefield without any fear.

Suddenly, Zhao Xi bent over and vomited profusely.

A large number of centipedes and maggots were vomited from his mouth.

Li Jiuqu chuckled sinisterly: "I have never seen anyone who could stare at me for so long."

Surrounding cultivators immediately came to support and treat him.

Zhao Xi's face was pale, and while vomiting, he was shocked: "What kind of method is this? How did I get hit?"

Compared to Mu Lan's bluffing military art, Li Jiuqu's method showed no aura at all, without a single sign.

Bai Ling flapped his wings and flew higher in the sky; as he passed over the battlefield, he shook his wings, and countless white feathers were each as sharp as a knife.

The sky-filling silver-white blade rain descended head-on, shredding the city wall flags and the like into tatters.

"Waya." Jia Wan held an iron pot and scurried around under the blade rain.

Ding Pi took out a kitchen knife and danced a ball of snow-white light.

The snow-white light reflected the white feathers, cutting them into countless fragments.

"Disciple, start the fire and heat the pot!" Ding Pi said lightly.

Jia Wan immediately did as told, cheering: "Alright, time to eat again!"

This battlefield spirit chef began to cook.

The many Nascent Souls of the Thousand Peaks Forest launched a terrifying wave of attacks, but under Zhao Xi's leadership, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Liangzhu Kingdom side also actively defended.

Song Ji took action, scattering countless clear brilliance.

Mo Yechen's myna had already grown larger, becoming a mount for Mo Yechen to ride and fly over the battlefield. Mo Yechen frequently cast spells, doing his best to support the Liangzhu Kingdom's city wall defenders.

Besides the cultivators, two types of heavy military equipment were also playing a role.

Northern Underworld Deep-Freeze Light!

Death-Parting Life-Separation Fire!

Facing such an offensive, the Nascent Soul cultivators mostly chose to dodge. After being enhanced by military power, the power of these heavy military weapons was quite considerable.

Lord Long sighed deeply.

Once the order for the entire army to attack was issued, the situation on the battlefield changed drastically.

However, although the Thousand Peaks Forest coalition launched a powerful wave of attacks, the Liangzhu Kingdom side still held on, relying on the strong city wall defenses.

"It's time for you and me to enter, Fellow Daoist Lu." Lord Long said to Lu Hongtu beside him.

The latter nodded slightly.

Lord Long and Lu Hongtu entered the battlefield at the same time!

In an instant, the morale of the Liangzhu Kingdom's army was dampened. Lord Long and Lu Hongtu had already proven their combat power in the previous ambush battle.

The participation of these two Nascent Soul level powerhouses also marked that almost all the high-level figures of the Thousand Peaks Forest coalition had joined the battle!

Lord Long's body gradually expanded, his figure no longer hunched, his eyes radiating sharp light, and he quickly became a middle-aged, sturdy man.

Lu Hongtu took out the Six-Cave Sect's town-sect treasure—the Light Mountain Heavy Mist Map. Although this scroll was not unfolded, it still emitted clusters of mist, wrapping Lu Hongtu's entire body.

Boom!

Lord Long took action, powerful and heavy, every move ferocious, smashing the Azure Wave Dao Soldiers and causing the city walls to collapse one after another.

Wherever Lu Hongtu went, the Liangzhu Kingdom cultivators were sucked into the map, cutting off their connection with the outside.

"Damn it." Shuang Ling hovered in the air, surrounded by various mechanical creations, forming layers of defense.

The awkward thing was that under such battle conditions, she had become a place no one cared about.

Shuang Ling had to put most of her energy and spiritual sense into the Soft-Boned Mysterious Maiden to entangle Xiang Yue. But because of this, she could only watch helplessly as strong and fierce opponents like Lord Long took action, unable to do anything about it.

"Zhao Xi, you are the current commander of the entire army. The enemy commander has already entered the battle; what are you still sitting there for?!" Shuang Ling sent a spiritual sense message to Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi immediately refused: "I am only at the Jin Dan level, temporarily serving as the commander of an army, and the responsibility is heavy. If something happens to me, endangering the morale of the army, what should be done?"

"That old thing Lord Long doesn't know what kind of madness he's having, suddenly launching an all-out attack. I'm neither crazy nor stupid, and I will never take risks easily!"

Shuang Ling was furious; she knew many of Zhao Xi's details. If it really came to fighting with means and trump cards, even if Zhao Xi were only at the Jin Dan level, he would be enough to contend with Lord Long or Xiang Yue for a short time.

But Zhao Xi clearly lacked the spirit and determination to fight and had never personally entered the battle.

Shuang Ling's heart moved, and she took the initiative to fly down into the camp.

The mechanical creations beside her followed closely, guarding her as she landed successfully.

"Aunt." Shuang Jing received the summons of spiritual sense and immediately arrived at Shuang Ling's side, "What are your orders?"

Shuang Ling's face was solemn: "Next, I am going to use my Nascent Soul to fully urge the mechanical puppet Soft-Boned Mysterious Maiden."

"During this period, my physical body will have no sensation and needs you to personally guard it!"

Shuang Jing said "Ah," and although surprised, he nodded: "Aunt, I will lead the Bai Yu Camp to fight to the last soldier and last man to protect your physical body!"

Shuang Ling smiled reluctantly and patted Shuang Jing's shoulder: "The situation is complex; you are the only one I truly trust."

Shuang Jing immediately led the Bai Yu Camp to retreat to the second line to guard Shuang Ling.

Shuang Ling was alone in the room; although guarded by Shuang Jing and the Bai Yu Camp, this Mechanical Princess still did not let down her guard.

Before meditating, she set up three layers of defensive magic formations around herself, lit up protective runes, and placed various handy magic treasures in the places where she could reach them fastest.

Shuang Ling succeeded in casting the spell, her head lowered, and her Nascent Soul flew out of her physical body, immediately transmitting into the body of the Soft-Boned Mysterious Maiden through the magic formation.

In an instant, the Soft-Boned Mysterious Maiden let out a soft cry, her movements twice as agile as before.

She performed mechanical techniques, first using softness to overcome hardness, unloading another fierce attack from Xiang Yue, and then slapped her palms onto Xiang Yue's chest, knocking the latter directly to the ground.

Boom.

Xiang Yue's body was massive; this fall immediately erupted with a muffled sound and stirred up a large amount of smoke and dust.

Everyone looked sideways, and seeing this scene, many Thousand Peaks Forest cultivators widened their eyes in disbelief.

Boom!

Almost at the same time, a large section of the city wall also collapsed.

The perpetrator was none other than Lord Long!

Lord Long looked back, glanced at the fallen Xiang Yue, and immediately rushed into the military camp, creating a bloody storm wherever he went.

Although the Liangzhu Kingdom soldiers fought hard, the gap in strength was too great, and they were easily annihilated by Lord Long.

Lord Long's performance greatly boosted the morale of the coalition.

Chen Lingfeng, Wu Hen, and other Jin Dan cultivators, either fighting alone or leading troops, poured into the battlefield like a tide.

A large number of soldiers, like a vast river, rushed into the gaps in the city walls and engaged in fierce fighting with the Liangzhu Kingdom army inside the camp.

The Red Flower Camp set up the Red Flower Battle Formation, the Bai Yu Camp stood firm, the Fire Cloud Camp rose to the high sky, stirring up a rain of fire...

Looking at the Thousand Peaks Forest side, there were also armies. Among them, the Iron Bone Army disregarded sacrifice and rushed into the city; the Shadow Attack Army each held double blades, their offensive fierce and sinister; the Profound Witch Army released various spells, the spells strange and unique...

The Mechanical Princess saw that Lord Long was hard to control and made up her mind to perform the mechanical technique—Soft-Boned Formlessness!

The next moment, her mechanical body became as agile and free as a willow branch or a snake's body, and her entire body became extremely soft.

From the entire mechanical puppet, waves of flexible energy were emitted from the inside out. These energies spread outward, wrapping around things along the way and crushing everything!

Xiang Yue clashed with her, and after a few rounds, several of his fingers were crushed, and even his elephant trunk was broken into two halves, bleeding continuously and suffering heavy injuries.

Shuang Ling repelled Xiang Yue but did not pursue the victory.

This was because Xiang Yue activated his divine ability, defending with all his might and accelerating his recovery, which was definitely not something that could be taken down in a quick battle.

And Lord Long was causing a massacre inside the city; the screams of friendly forces gave Shuang Ling tremendous pressure, forcing her to temporarily abandon Xiang Yue and turn back to support and stop Lord Long.

However, on this side, once Xiang Yue lost suppression, he regained his momentum, his threat greatly increased, and he created a large number of killings.

Shuang Ling was forced to fight on two fronts, constantly putting out fires and running around exhausted.

"Zhao Xi! If you don't take action again, when I go back, I will fight to the death to get you off your post!" Shuang Ling was furious and completely ruthless.

Zhao Xi: "Shuang Ling, I am not fighting passively. Liu, you lead the Three Generals Camp to stop Xiang Yue!"

Seeing that the battle situation on his side was tight everywhere, Zhao Xi did not dare to be careless and hurriedly sent out the Three Generals Camp.

"Let us go deal with Xiang Yue?" Guan Hong narrowed his eyes.

Zhang Hei was eager to try: "That sounds good. I haven't faced this guy Xiang Yue head-on yet."

Liu Er smiled bitterly; he was now Zhao Xi's man, and although he knew this was an extremely poor mission, he had to grit his teeth and execute it.

After all, it was rare for someone among the high-level figures to accept him, a mixed-blood.

The Three Generals Camp formed an Iron Barrel Formation, adding military power to the three generals.

Liu Er held the Profound Yellow Sword and was the first to charge in front of Xiang Yue, then was immediately slapped away.

Liu Er vomited blood, three ribs broken, but revealed a look of joy: "Xiang Yue has been weakened a lot; relying on the combined efforts of my three brothers, we can fight!"

Guan Hong and Zhang Hei took action one after another; neither was a match for Xiang Yue in one move, but they could still temporarily save their own lives.

"Three mice, annoying." Xiang Yue was entangled by the three generals, his actions restricted too much, which made him quite unhappy.

As for the three generals Liu, Guan, and Zhang, they were fighting with all their might, not daring to be the slightest bit careless!

This was because Xiang Yue could try and fail countless times, but if Liu, Guan, and Zhang made a single mistake in their response, they could be killed on the spot.

"Little Zhuo, opportunity!" Sun Lingtong said suddenly.

"Yes, I see it." Unlike Ning Zhuo had also been paying attention to the battlefield.

He saw the Demon Heart Cave Master participate in the battle again.

In this way, the Demon Heart Cave Master and his son Lin You were separated.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had never forgotten his original intention for coming to the Liangzhu Kingdom.

That was, to take back his mother's relic!
