Chapter 636: Tie Tie Tie Guozheng vs. White-Bone Crocodile Demon
Mourning-Music Ghost Spirit had become a ghost cultivator!
She was dressed in plain white mourning clothes, the quality like cold smoke, faintly transparent. The skirt hem hung down silently, floating three inches off the ground.
Her face was vaguely recognizable from her lifetime, and her brows were filled with lingering resentment.
A head of long hair hung down like an ink waterfall, with mist threads flowing at the tips.
Her eyes were no longer black and white, but turbid like a veil, with two cold ghostly blue soul fires deep in her pupils.
Her ten fingers became even more slender than before, and her nails were a grayish-black color. Beside her arm floated a charred-tail ghost-pattern zither.
Just now, it was she who urged this magic treasure, stimulated the zither sound, and called open the South City Gate.
This opening of the city gate was no small matter!
It could be said that it immediately changed the battlefield situation.
However, both sides on the battlefield were stunned at this moment, and neither reacted.
On the White-Paper Xiancheng side, they never expected that a former high-level official would defect and directly urge the internal magic seal to make the city gate open automatically.
And on the Yin soldier army side, they didn't know about Mourning-Music Ghost Spirit's existence!
Even Commander Luo Si was kept in the dark. He didn't know about Mourning-Music Ghost Spirit's existence at all.
Originally, the Forget-River Prefect had obtained the prophecy poem (Beheading the Ghost Spirit, the city gate opens...) from Elder Gray-Bone, and then had a policy of action.
He first sent someone to ambush and kill Mourning-Music Ghost Spirit, then ordered her to turn into a ghost cultivator, and firmly controlled her.
The results of this action manifested at this moment.
Why hide it from the entire Yin soldier army?
On one hand, the Forget-River Prefect was not sure whether Mourning-Music Ghost Spirit, whom he controlled, could really open the city gate. If it didn't work, he wouldn't lose face.
On the second hand, this was an extremely important military operation, so naturally, the fewer people who knew, the more stable it would be.
On the third hand, Luo Si was newly promoted and had a strong connection with Elder Gray-Bone. This Yin soldier army deployed to the Yang Realm was not the Forget-River Prefect's direct line from top to bottom. The degree of trust was not enough.
Mourning-Music Ghost Spirit succeeded!
Luo Si was a talent who killed his way up from the bottom, and even if he didn't know about this, he reacted immediately when he saw this scene.
He decisively ordered the army formation at the South City Gate to launch a surprise attack.
Even if the city gate was opened, it was narrow, and it was very stupid for the army formation to swarm in; they could only dispatch a part for a strong attack.
Without any hesitation, Luo Si immediately ordered the headless ghost cavalry to launch a desperate charge!
The headless ghost cavalry started immediately, iron hooves rumbling, shaking the earth. The ghost generals leading the charge were all Golden Core cultivation bases.
Bang, bang, bang...
A series of muffled sounds, countless skeleton dead soldiers were smashed to pieces under the charge of the ghost cavalry, and the broken bones and limbs were immediately trampled into powder.
These soldiers were rushing to the city wall before, and also blocked the route of the ghost cavalry's charge.
In order to save time, not only did the ghost generals continuously cast the 'Soldier-Speed' military tactic, but even their own withered bone dead soldiers were directly abandoned!
Because the battle opportunity was fleeting!
"Not good!" Many cultivators on the South City Wall saw this scene, and all felt like they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Under the blessing of military tactics, the enemy cavalry charged collectively, even injuring their own people, showing a terrifying and cruel combat style.
If the cultivators on the wall also had military tactics blessed, perhaps someone
could have the courage to jump off the city wall, block the city gate, and perhaps be able to block the cavalry for a period of time, fighting for critical time for the city gate to close.
But everyone knew that they would not have any military tactics blessed.
Without it, jumping down, using the flesh to block the city gate was just sending oneself to death!
In the situation of knowing certain death, cowardice and fear occupied the upper hand, making these cultivators grit their teeth, watching the ghost cavalry trample everything and rush to their eyes.
"If the Qing Jiao Army were here, it would be great!" The deputy commander of the city guards sighed and wrung his hands.
He did have the impulse to jump down.
But he scanned his surroundings, and he didn't have many subordinates.
Even if he jumped down, how many people would jump with him? Even if they jumped, relying on the number of people on the city guard side, it was just a vain sacrifice.
It couldn't block anything at all!
The consumption of the ghost tide on White-Paper Xiancheng manifested its results at this moment.
It was precisely because the city guards had too many casualties that the White-Paper City Lord had to recruit cultivators from all surrounding villages and towns, and also reward brave men with heavy rewards.
Although the city defense force of White-Paper Xiancheng had been greatly supplemented, the team was diluted, and the overall quality dropped sharply, making a death battle impossible.
Life and death were in a single thought.
War is like this.
The scope and degree of influence of human hearts and morale were much deeper and more extensive than on the surface.
If it were the previous city guards, the team was pure, and they were all good children in White-Paper Xiancheng, very loyal, perhaps it was really possible to use their flesh to block the city gate.
Rumble...
The ghost cavalry rushed to the city gate.
Mourning-Music Ghost Spirit had already taken a step ahead and rushed into the city.
"White-Paper Xiancheng, it's broken!" The leading Golden Core ghost generals all showed bloodthirsty and excited expressions.
But at this moment, the city gate tower and city wall of the Xiancheng flashed suddenly.
Countless wall papers flew out, turning into talismans, and burned spontaneously in an instant.
The various spells in the talismans rose into the sky for a time, stirring up fatal five-colored brilliance. All kinds of spells were dazzling, and at this moment, let the headless ghost cavalry taste all kinds of ways to Zhao Die.
Some were burned to death, some were frozen, some were struck by lightning, some were buried in the earth, some were corroded into ash, and some were even manipulated...
The ghost cavalry's offensive was curbed!
The cultivators on the wall reacted and all cheered. For a time, morale clearly rebounded.
Luo Si's pupils shrank, and he murmured: "Tie Tie Tie Guozheng."
The one who could take action at this moment and pull the entire White-Paper Xiancheng from the abyss of defeat was the City Guard Commander.
Even if this move greatly damaged the defensive foundation at the South City Gate, Tie Tie Tie Guozheng still did not have a trace of hesitation.
His experience in defending the city was too rich.
How many times had he defended against ghost tides?
Even he himself couldn't remember.
"Just this round, the city wall at the South City Gate is at least 50% thinner!"
Tie Tie Tie Guozheng had cold sweat on his forehead.
Even if he defended against the headless ghost cavalry's terrible charge, the South City Gate with greatly reduced defense would inevitably become the main direction of the enemy's attack.
He had no choice, he had to do this.
Luo Si threw out multiple military tokens, distributed military power, and at the same time issued an order for a surprise attack.
The many ghost generals who received the blessing of military power immediately carried the explosion of the talismans
and rushed into the South City Gate.
Tie Tie Tie Guozheng saw this scene, feeling shocked: "The enemy general is extraordinary, the reaction is so swift!"
He also urgently mobilized cultivator experts to go and intercept.
At the same time, Tie Tie Tie Guozheng also wanted to mobilize many wall papers to intercept the Golden Core ghost generals.
But at this time, Luo Si had already issued another military order, ordering the headless ghost cavalry to retreat, and the drowned ghost groups on both wings to continue the attack.
These drowned ghosts were connected in a piece, water vapor interwoven, forming a land river.
The drowned ghosts hid in the river water, avoiding most of the talisman paper attacks.
The river wound and rushed toward the city gate.
Tie Tie Tie Guozheng was forced to be helpless and could only turn to target the drowned river, although he curbed the enemy's offensive again, he also lost the opportunity to contain the enemy general.
Once the situation was opened and the stalemate was broken, Luo Si showed the ability of a commander, directly suppressing Tie Tie Tie Guozheng, a good general, to the disadvantage.
Sound Technique — Nine Springs Burial Song!
Woo, woo, woo...
The charred-tail ghost-pattern zither floated beside Mourning-Music Ghost Spirit, and the latter's ten fingers were in the air, not touching the strings, still emitting bursts of strange zither sounds.
The zither sound was like mourning music, ignoring most defensive means, reaching the soul flow directly.
The cultivators who rushed to her side became stiff and sluggish under the zither sound, their expressions twisted and painful.
Some people's weapons fell directly to the ground with a clang, looking at the sky blankly, some knelt on the ground with soft knees, crying bitterly. Some had scattered eyes, like walking corpses, and some even cut their own necks to commit suicide.
Confucian Art — Literary Heart Body Protection!
The next moment, Wen Wen Ruanyu flew down from the air to support.
He urged the Confucian art, and the characters fell like rain, covering many cultivators and saving their lives.
"Mourning-Music Ghost Spirit, what are you doing?!" Wen Wen Ruanyu looked at Mourning-Music Ghost Spirit, his expression painful, roaring in his mouth.
Confucian Art — Wash Heart and Change Face!
He urged the spell, hitting Mourning-Music Ghost Spirit directly.
Mourning-Music Ghost Spirit's numb face changed, but it was only a trace, and then it dissipated without a trace.
Wen Wen Ruanyu, however, had already probed some details and couldn't help but feel desperate. Because in the instant just now, he found that national power appeared on Mourning-Music Ghost Spirit.
Obviously, this was the national power of the Forget-River Underworld.
Unless Wen Wen Ruanyu joined a certain cultivation nation, he could borrow national power to directly crack it head-on.
This was not a gap in the scale of power, but a gap in the level!
"The problem is, national power is only effective within the territory. Why can the national power of the Forget-River Underworld be used in my Yang Realm?!"
Wen Wen Ruanyu's heart was full of suspicion.
He wrote furiously, sprinkling another cluster of characters into the air!
Confucian Art — Stop Song and Break Dance.
The characters formed an article in the air, circling a battlefield, greatly curbing the performance of the sound technique.
Mourning-Music Ghost Spirit had been playing the Nine Springs Burial Song, and her reaction was not sensitive.
Obviously, this was a huge reduction in combat power after being forcibly controlled.
Wen Wen Ruanyu's pressure, however, rose sharply.
Because behind Mourning-Music Ghost Spirit, a full six Golden Core ghost generals arrived together. What was even more terrifying was that they were all blessed with military power, and their combat power was approaching the Soul Transformation level!
"How can this be fought?" Even though he had deep feelings for White-Paper Xiancheng, Wen Wen Ruanyu could only temporarily avoid the edge and preserve his useful body.
But the next moment, the Confucian art rose again.
The warm white light not only blessed Wen Wen Ruanyu but also deepened the power of the previous article, suppressing the sharpness of the six ghost generals.
Wen Wen Ruanyu's divine sense swept behind him, and his heart relaxed. He saw Zhou Zhou Wenyan leading a team of cultivators to support.
Originally, after Tie Tie Tie Guozheng noticed that the South City Gate would become the main attack point, he immediately led elite forces and transferred over at full speed.
Zhou Zhou Wenyan's original position was closest to this place, so he was the first to arrive.
The six Golden Core ghost generals communicated with divine sense, immediately combined their forces, the military edge was even stronger, and they fiercely killed toward Wen and Zhou, the two Confucian cultivators.
Even if the latter two were both from super forces and were Golden Core true disciples, it was difficult to resist this military edge.
Boom!
WwwoTTKΛNo¢O
A loud noise, but the terrifying collision did not happen between the two Confucians and the six generals, but at the foot of the South City Gate wall.
The drowned river suddenly burst, giant wave pillars exploded, and a behemoth broke through the waves.
This was a giant thorn-bone crocodile; its four feet landed, and it exceeded the height of most of the city wall. The rugged and thick bone armor could make most people who tried to attack feel discouraged, and on the bone armor, there were also ferocious, pale giant bone thorns, attacking and defending in one!
And inside the thorn-bone crocodile, the White-Bone Crocodile Demon's roar came: "White-Paper Xiancheng, it will be broken today."
Boom!
The thorn-bone crocodile moved its huge body, like a siege hammer, and hit the city wall that was already half thin.
The violent impact immediately caused cracks to appear on the city wall, and then spread in a large area.
The cultivators on the city wall swayed, and those who stood firm launched fierce attacks on the thorn-bone giant crocodile.
Various attacks hit the giant crocodile's armor, with very little effect.
The thorn-bone giant crocodile was also in the army formation, enjoying the blessing of military power, and its strength was approaching the Soul Transformation level.
The thorn-bone giant crocodile took a few steps back and was about to charge again.
If this hit was solid, the city wall would likely not be able to support it and collapse a large section.
The city gate was opened and could be closed. But if a large section of the city wall was destroyed, it would be equivalent to most of the entire White-Paper Xiancheng falling into the abyss of defeat.
"Beast, look at the iron fan!"
At the critical moment, Tie Tie Tie Guozheng's eyes widened, his eyes filled with bloodshot, and he rushed out fiercely.
He stepped fiercely, the magic treasure war boots exploded with a wave of yellow spiritual light, urged the earth-element magic prohibition of shrinking the ground, and drove him to cross a distance directly and kill to the South City Wall.
The situation was urgent, Tie Tie Tie Guozheng jumped directly to the top of the wall, the whole person was like being thrown by a catapult, and rushed toward the thorn-bone giant crocodile fiercely.
In mid-air, he held the iron fan magic treasure over his head, and his whole body's magic power was frantically infused.
Martial Art — Mountain Collapse!
The City Guard Commander's seal shone, and the White-Paper Xiancheng formation blessed it!
The Geng Metal Qi on the iron fan exploded, and merged with many forces, forming a terrifying blow.
The air was compressed to the extreme, making an unbearable wail!
This blow was like an iron peak being lifted, carrying the giant force of breaking the earth's veins and shaking the city, smashing down fiercely.
Dong——!!!!
The iron fan smashed on the skull of the thorn-bone giant crocodile, making a terrifying loud noise.
The violent air waves exploded and spread wildly in all directions.
The nearest cultivators, regardless of enemy or friend, were shaken to break bones and tendons, bleeding from seven orifices, and were lifted off like rag dolls, then smashed fiercely on the city parapet or the buildings behind, a bloody mess!
The thorn-bone giant crocodile roared.
The roar was earth-shattering and extremely painful.
Its huge body was smashed down fiercely, and most of it sank into the drowned river again.
Crunch, crunch...
The bone thorns all over its body were also shaken by the impact, broken and shattered countless times.
The White-Bone Crocodile Demon inside the giant crocodile vomited blood and slumped down directly.
The thorn-bone giant crocodile was aroused with ferocity and wanted to retaliate, but the White-Bone Crocodile Demon hurriedly controlled it, sank all the way down, and rested urgently.
This giant crocodile was the White-Bone Crocodile Demon's biggest trump card and also its strength, so it could not be hit in the early stage of the battle and consumed with the enemy.
The White-Bone Crocodile Demon also planned to rely on the giant crocodile to roam the battlefield and loot spoils later. ===== CHAPTER 637 =====
