Chapter 406: Crushing Dry Weeds and Smashing Rotten Wood

A gale-like murderous intent swept across the entire battlefield.

The soldiers' shouts shook the heavens, as if they would tear the very world asunder. The weapons in their hands flashed with cold light, each swing bringing forth a spray of blood.

The noble lords were even more at the forefront, charging ahead; their figures appeared exceptionally heroic and fearless under the reflection of the war fires.

"Puff!"

A soldier's longsword pierced into an enemy's chest, but this time there was no familiar scene of blood spraying; the pierced enemy not only lacked any expression of pain, but even raised their longsword to counter-attack, and in an instant, blood flew, taking away a vibrant life.

From yesterday to today, Kabier, Sanduoluo, and others had already disseminated Luoning's intelligence regarding killing the Witch Soul Clan, but knowing was one thing, and once truly on the battlefield, there were too many influencing factors, and casualties were inevitable.

However, Luoning's intelligence was effective; at least many people realized it and worked in pairs to chop off their opponents' heads.

"There are too many of them."

The Yanliu Sword brandished scorching flames, and with a single strike, a row of enemies fell.

But Luoning keenly discovered that the first wave charging up were all cannon fodder, and Balindun and the others consciously held back half a beat, avoiding the momentum of the first wave.

"Trying to use these people to exhaust our stamina?"

Battle Qi erupted around Luoning, forming a gust of wind that scattered the miscellaneous soldiers rushing up, and then he quickly inscribed the Spell Pattern.

Hum~

The air trembled, and the Elemental Power of the Wind Element condensed into a translucent arrow, shooting out at extreme speed.

Puff! Puff! Puff...

Just like skewering candied haws, the Heart Piercing Wave directly pierced through the bodies of all the enemies in front, killing its way toward Balindun in the battle group.

Those enemies who were hit, if they were human, they were severely wounded and fell to the ground; if they were cannon fodder of the Witch Soul Clan, they were directly turned into powder.

"Hm?"

Balindun had already been observing Luoning, and at this moment, seeing the soldiers in front suddenly vanish into thin air, he immediately realized that the opponent had used Magic.

"Level 7 Magic, Heart Piercing Wave!"

He shouted loudly, his body shrouded in the aura of darkness and flame, condensing into Battle Qi Armor, and the greatsword in his hand also slashed toward that translucent "arrow."

With a bang, the two forces exploded, creating a huge impact that blasted Balindun directly off his horse.

Luoning frowned slightly; the Heart Piercing Wave had penetrated quite a few enemies along the way, causing its power to be weakened, otherwise, the opponent should not have been able to block this Magic attack in his haste.

Just at this moment, a Knight brandished a greatsword and killed his way toward Luoning.

He sensed slightly; there was no strange black energy on the opponent, which meant the opponent was a normal human.

Luoning used a sweep to directly knock away the longsword in the opponent's hand, then kicked over; the huge force kicked the opponent flying, crashing into the crowd behind, and a large area fell at once.

In front of him, there was not a single one who could fight.

However, Kabier and the others did not perform as easily as he did when they were surrounded.

Especially the Bronze Knight Ruige, as the current representative of combat power in Wubei Territory, he was somewhat passive when surrounded by two Advanced Knights and a crowd of cannon fodder.

Fortunately, the members of the Wubei Territory Knight Squad were nearby, relying on each other.

On the other hand, a lingering-fear-stricken Balindun was retreating while commanding the cannon fodder to charge.

He could not believe that there was actually a Great Archmage on this battlefield, and he believed even less that this Great Archmage was the former waste, Luoning.

Taini followed over and loudly questioned: "What is going on? Aren't they immortal? How did they die?"

Balindun looked at Taini as if looking at an idiot, "Does being immortal mean they really won't die?"

"You!"

Taini only felt that he had been played, but at this time, it was too late to say anything.

Watching his subordinates fighting fiercely with Weituolinuo, Mawen, and others, he had no choice but to draw his sword and move forward.

It was a pity that a sharp red glow passed through the crowd and sank into Taini's brow.

"Uh..."

The power of the Fire Flash Battle Technique, compressed to the extreme, seemed even stronger than the Heart Piercing Wave; Taini only had time to emit one syllable from his throat, and then with a bang, he fell straight to the ground.

Ruidar's figure appeared at the right time; the Blazing Sun Knight was like a wolf in a flock of sheep on such a battlefield, eating at will.

Balindun trembled all over, and he roared in his heart: What the hell is going on? With this army that is hard to kill, shouldn't he have the advantage? How did the people on the opposite side break through the defense line so quickly and kill their way to him?

Ruidar's cold eyes swept over Balindun, "Those who surrender to the Witch Soul Clan all deserve to die!"

He was just about to take action, when Luoning, who was maneuvering and charging on the battlefield relying on Wind Instant Step, also came over: "Ruidar, leave this person to me."

Ruidar stopped his steps, "Yes, my lord!"

After speaking, he turned and joined a new battle.

"Luoning?"

Balindun's tone was full of doubt, "No, you are not Luoning!"

"I am Luoning, Lulansi's grandson."

Luoning's body turned into an illusion, arrived in front of Balindun, and slashed down with his sword.

Balindun raised his sword to block; even though he held the hilt with both hands, the huge force pressed him until he couldn't breathe.

Luoning held back his strength in this strike, otherwise, the opponent would probably have been cut by his own sword.

"Before you die, I want to ask you, how exactly did Selina die?"

Balindun let out a strange laugh, "What, even now you are still missing this dead fiancée? She was..."

Hmph!

Luoning delivered a kick, striking the opponent's stomach when the opponent had no room to fight back.

"Forget it, I was just a little curious. What the truth is, it doesn't matter to me now!"

Balindun, who fell heavily to the ground, only felt the gap in absolute strength; such a large gap could not be made up for by his possession of a Witch Soul Clan body.

"This is definitely not the power and speed that an ordinary Meteor Knight can possess. How old is he? How could he possess such strong strength?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Balindun turned and fled.

As he fled, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a Green Wood Horn, shoved it into his mouth, and blew it fiercely.

The eerie sound spread across the entire battlefield, as if some sort of mechanism had been triggered.

Those Witch Soul Clan soldiers, at the lowest "Shadow Mist" level, each let out a howl toward the sky, with tangible black mist emanating from their mouths.

In an instant, they became extremely irritable and frenzied; their speed, strength, and ruthlessness all increased accordingly, much like an ordinary person instantly becoming a warrior who disregarded life and death, their combat power surging!

Whoosh—

A powerful gust of wind swept across the land, and the massive figure of Kaierluosi descended from the sky, its sharp claws directly snatching Balindun into its grasp.

"Let me go!"

Balindun roared madly; having broken away from the fray, he had forgotten that there was still a dragon in the sky.

Kaierluosi did not let go, but instead increased its strength: "I hate that sound, I hate it immensely!"

Pfft—

The giant dragon's sharp claws squeezed down hard, directly crushing the Golden Knight's bones and then bursting his internal organs.

Yet even so, Balindun still did not die.

Kaierluosi very unhappily smashed him onto the ground, then opened its blood-red maw, and a violent Flame Breath completely engulfed him.

"Burn to death, you creature that disgusts dragons!"

The flames extinguished, and Balindun had turned into flying ash.

From the moment he led his troops on the expedition, he had fantasized about entering Cuican City to slaughter, but he had not expected that he would die just like Taini before he even had a chance to perform in this battle.

Luoning walked over; a human-shaped shadow was left on the ground, and that black horn had also been burned into charcoal by the flames.

It was not that the temperature of Kaierluosi's Flame Breath was too high, but rather that this horn was made of ordinary wood.

"If this horn can control the Witch Soul Clan soldiers..."

Luoning looked toward the battlefield; although Balindun was dead, the combat power of those cannon fodder had not faded.

In this short moment, the Noble Allied Forces and the Knight Order Infantry had been subjected to no small amount of trouble.

"Let's end this war first."
