Chapter 453: Lock-on

The Forbidden Magic Dragon Breath Art, carrying a terrifying flame storm, bombarded the city walls of Yueguang City with lightning speed.

If Luoning had not drawn away the attention of Huonasang and the other Witch Soul Knights on the wall, they might have been able to use Battle Techniques, Magic, Magic Cannons, and other means to weaken the power of the Dragon Breath Art to a certain extent.

It is a pity that in reality, there are no "ifs."

Suofeiya's sudden attack left them with no time to react at all.

This tall, sturdy city wall, built only twenty-some years ago, became as fragile as paper burning in a flame before this magic.

Rumble—

Wherever the Dragon Breath Art passed, bricks and stones shattered, the city wall collapsed, and the earth shook!

The Witch Soul soldiers holding the wall were scattered like dust caught in a hurricane, turning into powder amidst screams and wails.

The old Knight Huonasang, after receiving the order to support Yueguang Valley, felt that in his twilight years, he could achieve great merit on this battlefield.

Even after being transformed into a Witch Soul Knight by Mofisite and gaining greater power, he still felt that a new life and new glory were beckoning to him.

Yet he never expected that in this war, he would be reduced to ashes by the raging flames before he could even unleash a single Battle Technique!

After breaching the city wall, this Forbidden Magic continued to sweep through the streets and buildings behind the wall with unstoppable power, its force only gradually dissipating after nearly a thousand meters.

The bustling East District of Yueguang City was turned directly into ruins under the devastation of a single spell!

"This is the power of Forbidden Magic!"

Hovering in the air, Luoning looked down at the scene caused by this strike, his heart incomparably shocked.

In his projections, the Dragon Breath Art would have been very effective if it could tear open the wall and slaughter a thousand Witch Soul clansmen, but he never imagined it would be such a spectacular and terrifying sight.

This is the power of Extreme Origin Power, which transcends Elemental Power!

It was not just Luoning; Knights like Lulansi who had never witnessed the demeanor of a Legendary powerhouse were in a state of extreme shock.

Even Ruidar, Peiteluo, and others who had seen Legendaries or even Sages were stunned by this strike.

But soon, Ruidar raised his long sword: "Everyone, charge for me!"

The others also reacted, the shock on their faces vanishing, replaced by endless excitement.

Being able to participate in a war of this level was an honor in itself, not to mention that in their view, this war was already more than half won.

Ruidar took the lead, taking a large stride; the Battle Qi beneath his feet exploded, and he leaped straight onto the ruins of the city wall, then used a few mid-air steps to land in the center of the battlefield.

His Sun-level strength was unleashed without restraint at this moment, charging left and right as if entering an empty land.

Those Witch Soul Knights and soldiers who had been stunned had barely reacted before their bodies were pierced by Battle Qi, turning into flying ash.

At the same time, Lulansi, Peiteluo, and a group of other Knights followed closely behind. On this scorched earth filled with the scent of flames, a thrilling battle unfolded.

Suofeiya gasped heavily; the rapid depletion of her spirit and Magic Power left her feeling extremely exhausted.

"Your Highness, how are you?"

Aini Lu supported her; as Suofeiya's personal Guard Officer, she did not follow to charge and kill the enemy.

"Although the Extreme Origin Treasure assisted me, allowing me to barely use the Dragon Breath Art Spell Scroll, the side effects are still too great."

She struggled to lift her head and look at the black dot in the distant sky, "The next part, dealing with Mofisite, will be left to Luoning and the others."

For Suofeiya, paying the price of exhausting her energy to create an opportunity to kill the Shadow Envoy was a very worthwhile thing.

Mofisite saw this scene from a high mountain in the distance; he only felt a chill down his back and thought to himself: "It is fortunate I was not standing on the city wall, otherwise, facing a forbidden technique, I would not have been able to withstand it!"

He had nearly died.

"To let a Magic Master use a Forbidden Magic Spell Scroll without dying, this is probably another thing that old immortal Ryan from the City of Dawn cooked up!"

Mofisite still felt great fear toward Suofeiya in his heart; he did not possess such treasures himself.

Beside him, Hesusu was also scared half to death by the scene before him; he was likewise glad he had not been with Huonasang.

"Lord Envoy, the strike just now was too strong; it wiped out almost half of our forces, and most of them were elites! The rest... are simply no match for them."

Sieging a city is a very complex operation that easily incurs a tragic price.

Hesusu and the others had thought simply: use elites and heavy troops to defend the wall, letting the enemy pay a heavy price.

Consequently, this led to the current situation where their high-level combat power was nearly wiped out in one fell swoop.

Mofisite, however, locked his gaze onto Ruidar, "That person..."

"That is Luoning's follower, the commander of Wubei Territory, Ruidar. I ran into him when Jialete and I went to Anbian City last time; he is also a Silver Moon Knight."

Mofisite frowned deeply; is this person only a Silver Moon Knight?

Why does he look a bit unlike one?

But he could not judge easily; after all, the Witch Soul Knights who had engaged Ruidar were at most Golden Grade, and not a single Meteor-level one was present, so he had not needed to use his full strength.

Just then, Lulansi broke through a group of enemies and jumped onto the corner of a surviving high-rise; he pulled out a black Soul Horn and channeled the special energy in his Qi Sea to blow it.

The low sound spread across the battlefield, exactly the same as the scene when they had fought Aosen; all the Witch Soul clan Knights and soldiers who heard the sound stopped their movements, allowing their opponents to slaughter them.

"Heh heh~"

Mofisite let out an angry sneer: "I knew he would use the Soul Horn, but it is a pity that in front of my Witch Soul Bead, the horn is ineffective!"

He took the Witch Soul Bead out from his Space Ring; without any visible movement, a flash of black light swept across, and all the Witch Soul clan soldiers on the battlefield regained their mobility, their eyes turning red as they entered a state of rage.

"Since that is the case, let the Golden and Silver Grade Witch Soul Knights on the battlefield devour more souls and ascend a level!"

Mofisite knew clearly in his heart that this war could likely not be won.

But not being able to win did not mean he had lost.

As long as Wushan Territory was severely damaged, his goal would be achieved.

As for the death of these people and the loss of the Yueguang Valley base, he did not feel a shred of heartache.

Just as Mofisite was controlling these Witch Soul clansmen through the Witch Soul Bead, Luoning, who was no longer being attacked in the air, pulled out a purple instrument shaped like a pocket watch.

This was given to him by Suofeiya, a special extraordinary item called a "Soul Power Sensor," whose function was to sense the fluctuations of soul manipulation within a few miles and point out the direction.

It is said that in order to target the troublesome Shadow Lord, the leader of the City of Dawn, Ryan Silst, specially crafted this little gadget.

This time, the Sage had his descendant of unknown generations come to Aoerlante carrying this item.

As Luoning poured Magic Power into it, the Soul Power Sensor was activated, and a needle appeared on it, which, after spinning for a while, pointed toward the direction of the mountain peak where Mofisite was located.

Luoning turned his body to adjust his direction and discovered that this sensor was just like a compass; the direction the needle pointed never changed.

"Is he on the mountain?"

Wind Wings flapped, and Luoning charged toward the mountaintop; the sensor in his palm also grew hotter and hotter, which indicated that the distance between him and Mofisite was getting smaller.

Detection Wind swept across the entire mountain peak, and Luoning quickly sensed the two people on the mountaintop.

"Not good!"

Mofisite's heart jolted, and he hurriedly put the Witch Soul Bead into his Space Ring, then unexpectedly transformed into a mass of black mist, wanting to flee.

"Where are you trying to escape to!"

Luoning's loud shout traveled from afar to near, and he slammed into the mountain peak while carrying a storm of Battle Qi.

The immense power of the explosion formed a considerable shockwave, scattering both the caught-off-guard Hesusu and the black mist preparing to flee, causing them to crash heavily onto the ground.

Luoning's gaze locked onto the man in the black robe, and he said coldly: "Mofisite, you cannot escape!" (End of chapter)
