Chapter 218: The city of death
These exploding Demon Flame Soldiers were very fast, not losing to the speed of a cavalry soldier. Using its own energy to cause an explosion to attack with, this monster became a bomb that people feared!
Even if a True Soul Realm expert were to be surrounded by these explosions, they would suffer a loss!
Chu Tian dutifully left the cavalry group and charged forward with a raised sword. He ran several hundred meters and charged into the group of exploding Demon Soldiers.
Those extremely fat and ugly torn apart monsters charged forward like a seething wave. They were like wild animals discovering prey as they surrounded the four of them with an angry roar.
Nangong Yun and the others' faces all fell.
Chu Tian raised the Netherworld Sword and released a sword qi, cutting every soldier here in half. The soldiers that were cut burst into light as the vigorous energy was released, creating many giant explosions around them.
This was a crucial moment.
A small white fox jumped out to suck in the wave of energy. The green fireball seemed like it was attracted by something as it turned into two streams and disappeared into the little fox's stomach.
The flames from the exploding Demon Soldier, other than turning itself into ashes, it did not cause any damage into them.
Nangong Yun, Feng Caidie, and Yun Yao were enlightened when they saw this. It was no wonder that Chu Tian was so confident, this little fox could deal with the Demon Flame Soldiers' explosions. As long as the exploding zombie's energy did not reach a certain density, the little fox could instantly swallow it, reducing the energy below the explosion point.
Then the explosion would disappear.
Other than turning himself into ashes, it did not deal any damage to Chu Tian and the others at all.
"The little fox is great!" Nangong Yun's confidence soared, "Kill! Let's kill this entire group of monsters!"
Yun Yao controlled the Thunder Spirit Bead with her strong 5th Awakened Soul Layer cultivation and several bolts of lightning bloomed from it, attacking several Demon Flame Soldiers.
Feng Caidie activated the Wind and Cloud Sword Song and countless sword qi formed around them, forming a protective wall.
The Demon Flame Soldier was fast and it was very strong, but its body was actually very weak. It almost did not have any defense and would explode from a single attack.
The little fox went all out in using its sucking ability, making all the approaching Demon Flame Soldiers lose their explosion ability.
The four of them sliced through the over a thousand exploding Demon Flame Soldiers just like a knife slicing through a watermelon. Wherever they went, the Demon Flame Soldiers fell and they all released large amounts of flames, lighting up their bodies and their surroundings. The flames formed a sea of death, preventing all the other Demon Flame Soldiers from approaching.
"Continue!"
Chu Tian killed his way out with his group, eliminating close to half of the Demon Flame Soldiers. The cavalry soldiers that Shangguan Feichen was leading had already disappeared from their sights.
"There are more Demon Soldiers coming, we'll be surrounded soon!"
"Of course I know this!" Chu Tian could not stay here any longer, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stop all these Demon Flame Soldiers with just the four of them, "Come with me, we'll kill our way out."
The four of them rode their horses to the east side of White Jade City.
Actually Chu Tian was not just following Shangguan Feichen's orders. He was willing to agree to kill all the block the Demon Flame Soldiers mainly because he wanted to separate from the cavalry, giving himself more opportunities and time to prepare.
............
The three Marquises were watching from the hill, with three thousand Storm Cavalry soldiers not moving at all. They had a panoramic view of the battle situation around White Jade City.
The Golden Arrow Marquis' successor was charging to the right side, so naturally he met a large amount exploding Demon Flame Soldiers, but Jiang Shan was the Golden Arrow Marquis' true inheritor and was skilled in archery. Even from the horse's back, he could still kill them from a kilometer away.
Jiang Shan had a White Jade Arrow Source Spirit.
When he pulled back his string, his fingers released spirit energy and formed a jade white arrow out of spirit energy. It flew out with a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye. With Jiang Shan continuing to pull the string back, constantly shooting out white jade arrows. There was not a single arrow that missed and they all hit their targets
When the exploding soldiers came over, his legs tapped the horse's stomach and Jiang Shan loudly shouted, "Prepare the arrow array!"
After saying this, Jiang Shan extracted a golden glowing arrow from his horse's quiver which was covered in complex runes. He had been using arrows made from his spirit energy and this was his first time using a real arrow.
"Meteor Arrow Rain!"
Jiang Shan shot the arrow into the sky and with a piercing whistle, the golden arrow burst apart like a firework in the sky, turning into several glowing arrows as it fell like rain. It hit several Demon Flame Soldiers who turned into explosions.
The cavalry soldiers Jiang Shan led were all Storm Cavalry from Thunder State. Most of the soldiers from Thunder State all had bows and arrows as they launched another wave of supplementary attacks.
Although there were a few fishes that escaped the net to cause injuries, it was still going very smoothly.
The Divine Wind Marquis nodded and said, "The Golden Arrow Marquis' successor has the Golden Arrow Marquis' elegance."
The Golden Arrow Marquis laughed, "This boy has great talent. When he is sent to the battlefield in the future, his achievements will be greater than mine."
At this moment.
The Western Marquis knit his brows, "Feichen is in trouble!"
The three of them looked over and saw that Shangguan Feichen's team was surrounded by ten-twenty thousand Demon Flame Soldiers. They were in a bad situation.
Then at that moment.
A few people suddenly left the team and charged right into the Demon Flame Soldiers.
The Divine Wind Marquis was shocked, "It's Chu Tian's group!"
What were they doing? Don't they know that they were putting themselves in danger?
What made them stunned was that Chu Tian brought the three of them charging forward, but not a single Demon Flame Soldier successfully exploded, as if it was suppressed by some kind of power!
The four of them had blocked over a thousand of these dangerous exploding Demon Flame Soldiers.
Shangguan Feichen led his cavalry and broke out of Demon Flame Soldiers' encirclement.
The Golden Arrow Marquis broke out in loud laughter, "Chu Tian's group had saved the entire army and eliminated all these Demon Flame Soldiers, this is a great merit!"
The Western Marquis gave an unhappy snort, "The Demon Soldiers have been drawn to the sides, we should charge into the city right now."
"It's about time." The Golden Arrow Marquis stared into the middle of the empty city, at the giant crater in the center, "Let's go!"
A horn calling for a charge came from the hill side.
Three thousand cavalry soldiers finally made their move.
The elite cavalry formed precise charging formations. When the horn sounded, they charged off the mountain, right into the center of White Jade City.
The Demon Soldiers had already sent two groups to deal with the vanguard. When a large group charged in like this, how could they be in time to block them?
The cavalry soldiers of the three Marquises easily ripped through the Demon Soldier barricade.
The Golden Arrow Marquis pulled back his bowstring and condensed golden spirit energy arrows. They were around the same size as normal arrows, but once they were released, they flew as fast as the wind, creating a storm around it, ripping the Demon Soldiers in the way to shreds.
When the arrows reached the city walls, they became seven-eight meters long and as wide as a person's waist, becoming a giant arrow. Like shredding a piece of paper, it easily passed through White Jade City's walls, creating a direct path into the city.
There was not a single common person in the Southern Summer Eight Marquises!
The Golden Arrow Marquis had shot through a wall!
"Kill your way in!"
After the Golden Arrow Marquis pierced through the wall, the cavalry charged in like a flood, appearing from that single point. Although cavalry soldiers could not display their full might in urban areas, the Azure Storm Colts were not ordinary battle horses. As long as there was street, there was enough space for them to charge in.
"Scatter!"
The Golden Arrow Marquis waved his hand.
The cavalry scattered into smaller groups that quickly charged through the streets, killing all the Demon Soldiers scattered around, buying more time for them to destroy the demon stone.
The three Marquises were saving their spirit energy to defeat the demon stone releasing the evil energy, so they did not make a move. They led several hundred Storm Cavalry Soldiers down the main street of White Jade City, charging to the center as fast as lightning, finally arriving at the giant crater.
Such a strong evil aura!
The cavalry almost could not control their mounts!
An evil and hot energy filled the air, being slowly released from the giant crater. With the cultivations of the three Marquises, they felt a burst of discomfort as they were surrounded by green sparks in the air.
"We've found the demon stone!"
"The corrupting energy is too strong, we can't stay here long, otherwise the soldiers and horses will be in danger of being demonized."
The three Marquises soared through the air and landed at the side of the giant crater.
This crater was over a thousand meters wide and had landed in the exact center of the city. The instant shockwave it caused had destroyed less than half of the structures in the city. It could be imagined just how terrifying the strength of this demon stone was.
The crater was filled with green flames that had condensed instead of scattering. It formed green crystals that had sealed off the entire crater. From the green crystal seal, not only was there a strong evil aura being released, there was also a strong life force.
Rise and fall, inhaling and exhaling.
There really was a life form inside!
Like a breeding parent being, the demon stone resting inside the crater was currently absorbing life energy from all around it, as the energy it release slowly became stronger.
Chu TIan's guess had not been wrong at all!
This monster really was slowly gathering its strength. If they followed the Calm Martial Ruler's plan to first stabilize the surrounding areas, fortifying the surrounding areas as the slowly pushed in, then it would be unknown how strong this monster would become at that point!
The earth slowly began to shake.
A strong and violent consciousness was slowly awakening from a deep slumber.
"It can feel existences outside its hole." The Divine Wind Marquis had never seen this kind of being before, "Is this the Abyss Demon that Chu Tian mentioned before?"
Abyss World.
To be able to create this kind of life form, what kind of place was it?
"There's no time! Our casualties are becoming more serious!" The Storm Cavalry were the most elite cavalry soldiers of the Southern Summer Country, with each county being able to train two-three thousand. It was not easy to train them and it would be a pity to lose them all. The Golden Arrow Marquis shouted, "Let's make our move!"
