Chapter 285: Charge!
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“What happened?!” Gongshu Kuo’s black-and-white robe puffed up and emitted a layer of weird black-and-white spell runes. Under the mystic power of the runes, the debris from the explosion were all blocked. Obviously, his white-and-black robe was a very powerful spiritual artifact.
He was saved, but the spiritual boat that he was standing on obviously wasn’t so lucky. Meanwhile, dozens of huge black arrows shot over!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...
Two rounds of attacks severely damaged Gongshu Kuo’s 20 warships; several of them were hit on vulnerable parts, and they fell toward Sky Wolf Fortress!
“How could this happen?!” Beside him, Gongyang Jun complained, “Brother Gongshu, didn’t you say that your Gongshu Family’s warships are unrivaled? How come they can’t even block the City-Destroying Crossbows?”
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Gongshu Kuo’s headpiece was hanging off his head sideways, and his organized and tidy clothes were messed up. He said in a deep voice with a vicious expression, “Impossible! We spent lots of manpower and resources on each of the warships. Although I don’t know what unorthodox tricks they are using, the battleships can’t be destroyed so easily!”
He pointed toward Dajin’s spiritual boats before him and said, “They ran out of those huge black arrows!”
Indeed, the Wuwei Daoist Alliance spent lots of energy and resources on the huge black arrows, and they couldn’t make many of them.
After two rounds of attacks, the arrows were depleted.
“It seems that the force behind them isn’t completely useless!” Gongshu Kuo said with a gloomy expression, “No wonder they dared to lure the Wuwei Daoist Alliance away from the Three Saint Gates; no wonder the Wuwei Daoist Alliance dares to work against us!”
“We underestimated them. But now, we won’t repeat the same mistake!” Gongyang Jun narrowed his eyes, and a chilly light flashed in them.
“Here come their transportation boats with warriors!” an elder from the Gongyang Family yelled.
“Their warriors dare to fight with cultivators of the Yundian Upper Realm?!” Gongyang Jun said, “Tell the cultivators of the Gongyang Family to form the Lightning Vital Array and cast the Qianyang Lightning Spell. Beat down the warriors for me!”
Soon, many spiritual boats with the Gongyang Family’s flags flew out, and the cultivators on the boats all formed a strange lightning array while chanting long passages of incantations. Immediately, dark clouds gathered in the sky with rolling thunder and flashing lightning bolts!
“Its the Qianyang Lightning Spell!”
The soldiers in Dajin’s army exclaimed at the sight of the thunderclouds. Different from the Godly Sword Lightning-Controlling True Spell, this spiritual spell was cast by many rows of cultivators and covered a large area. Although its damaging ability was no match for the Godly Sword Lightning-Controlling True Spell, it covered a large area, engulfing the entire front area of the army of Dajin.
It had no effects on grandmasters such as An Huwei and Ji Wu, but it would inflict great damage on the warrior troop.
After all, it was a spiritual spell created for war and could deal a lot of damage to troops. In fact, Ji Xuantong had once battled with the force of the Yundian Upper Realm, but he was defeated by this horrifying lightning power. He was intact under these thunderclouds, but he lost more than half of his soldiers in one instant, and the battlefield looked like hell!
Besides, the warships of Gongshu Family were still very useful. The other spells that they shot out broke the spiritual light barriers of some transportation spiritual boats of Dajin. Standing on the spiritual boats without the barriers, the soldiers of Dajin were defenseless!
Meanwhile, the spiritual boats of Dajin’s army emitted light which blinked red and blue alternatively. The light was so hot and strong that it dyed the color of the sky.
“What’s that?”
After injecting spiritual energy into his eyes, he looked toward the distance and saw countless phalanxes standing neatly on Dajin’s spiritual boats, and fire lights flew up into the sky, turning into rune characters made of flames and engulfing each soldier in a vague holy aura.
Holy Armor Spell!
Then, a wave of fire runes flew out. The rune characters used in these fire runes were the most common spells among cultivators and could be combined with any ordinary Taoist spells.
Lastly, blue flames shot up one by one above the phalanxes.
They were Ghost Spiritual Shields!
“All warriors, raise shields!” Ji Wu roared with a grim expression.
“Raise shields!” The order was passed down, and the warriors of Dajin lifted huge black shields.
Then, many lightning bolts fell, turning the whole Dajin spiritual boat group into a hell of lightning energy!
Gongyang Jun’s eyes showed his absolute confidence in this attack. After all, even the unrivaled warrior army led by Ji Xuantong had lost more than half of its soldiers before they could get close to the cultivator army of the Yundian Upper Realm!
“You haven’t learned your lesson! Stupid!” Looking at the sky which had turned into a hell of lightning, Gongyang Jun sneered, thinking that Dajin was extremely stupid to send warrior troops to lead the charge!
At this moment, Ji Wu looked dead serious, and sweat began to pop out on his forehead. Obviously, he, the emperor of Dajin, also remembered the disastrous fate of Dajin’s army in the western expansion a long time ago; it was a nightmare of the army of Dajin.
Right now, he was leading troops and charging at this nightmare, and there was no retreat for him!
“Hold on! We must hold on!” Ji Wu clenched his teeth so hard that they almost bleed.
Boom!
Violent lightning bolts fell onto the spiritual boats that were charging forward and destroyed the spiritual light barriers. Wood debris flew after the lightning bolts shattered the edges of the boats!
The lightning bolts also landed on the huge shield array formed by the soldiers!
Like giant ice pallets, they crashed onto the shields viciously with booming noises!
Many elite soldiers of Dajin felt desperate. Despite their higher cultivation strength as elites compared to the ordinary warriors, they didn’t know how to block such an attack, and they had to hide under the shields.
The Ghost Spiritual Shields emitted pale blue light which looked extremely weak, as if it would shatter easily.
However, when the lightning bolts crashed onto the shields, all the soldiers of Dajin were amazed to find that the seemingly powerful attack didn’t inflict lethal damage as they had imagined!
When wave after wave of lightning bolts landed on the shields of almost 20,000 elite warriors, they felt like they could hold on for a long time and block more attacks with the additional benefit of the magic instillation which increased their vitalities.
Maybe, they could really walk out of this nightmare alive!
Gradually, the sky began to clear while groups of spiritual boats rushed out from the dark clouds. They were a bit shaken, but the warriors of Dajin protected the core parts of the boats and brought them out of the attack safely and successfully!
“Father! Do you see this?” With slightly red eyes, Ji Wu gazed at the distant sky. “The army of our Dajin finally walked out of this nightmare!”
He roared hoarsely, “Taoists, use Group-Healing! Warriors of Dajin, charge!”
A wave of clear spiritual light rose in the crowd, and the fatigued Dajin warriors regained their strengths with noticeable speed!
“My Dajin Iron Army will never fall!” With hoarse roars and cheers, they celebrated their narrow escape!
“For Dajin! Charge!” This roar resonated in the sky!
