Chapter 31: The Siege
Nanyue had already done his best to resist the death qi before with the two hundred monks here, not to mention himself, many of the monks had consumed as much as four or five percent of their spiritual power at this time. Don't look at the time to resist the dead qi, even if it is not even half a burnt incense time, but the dead qi that penetrates in is too strong, and it is also a magic weapon brought by the Great Wilderness Clan from the upper realm, so even if it is just a little dead qi, it needs a lot of spiritual power to block it, so as to protect the lives of the people in the city.
Before Nanyue and the monks could rest for a while, there was a change in Liangshan City, and a red-orange pillar of light came out of the ground, destroying many buildings, not to mention a more tricky gray aura, which made them unguardable.
The destructive power of the red-orange pillar of light was not so strong, but it was only transformed by some of the remaining power of the magic circle barrier, and it was far away from the open space behind the city, so it did not cause any casualties. But on the other hand, the gray aura is not so.
The gray aura seemed to be more difficult than the dead aura, as if they could sense the aura of a living person, and the ghosts chased after the monks who defended the city, as if any trace of life in their bodies would be chased and devoured, and then turned into a mass of rotten flesh before they stopped.
Moreover, the death qi can be blocked by a large amount of spiritual power, but this gray aura is pervasive, and even the spiritual power hinders it is very small, almost unstoppable. If it weren't for the gray aura that eroded the possessed person and didn't come out of his corpse again, I'm afraid that there would have been no living people on this city wall.
As for the conductors that transmit spiritual power at the four corners of Liangshan City, the four psychic pillars have collapsed and collapsed at this moment, and the barrier of this city protection array can no longer be condensed and formed, so this gray aura can only be solved by Nanyue and the others themselves.
In fact, even if the barrier was still there, it might not be able to withstand the erosion of the gray aura. When the gray aura eroded the barrier before, it did not see a decrease in its amount, but now it has eroded human flesh and blood, but it has decreased a lot. From this point of view, perhaps in a desperate situation, only a "wall" made of human flesh can block this gray atmosphere.
As for now, some of the monks guarding the city are no longer able to resist the erosion of the gray aura, and they want to escape, but they can't.
That gray aura is like a shadow, once it is targeted by it, it can't be shaken off no matter what, even if it is a little effective to try to use spiritual power to refine it, you can ask for gray breath.
But how many of these monks present at the moment have such a spiritual power background, and when they consume their spiritual power to block the dead qi first, they are gradually unable to do so.
Time passed slowly, and the monks who defended the city also fell one by one because they were unable to resist the gray aura.
At this moment, Nan Yue was very embarrassed in his heart, seeing that those monks were powerless to resist the gray aura and could only fall one by one, and he could not order them to retreat. Because, if they leave here and let the gray breath invade the city, it will be those innocent civilians who will suffer in the end.
But if they stay here, what other way can they resist the gray breath except himself? It is nothing more than using his own body to block it, and it is nothing more than sacrificing his own life in exchange for a glimmer of life for the people in the city.
The city protection array has been broken, and it is a foregone conclusion that the iron cavalry of the Great Wilderness Clan will break through the city gate, it is a matter of time before these monks die because of resisting the gray breath, then who will resist the attack of the Great Wilderness Clan?
Is their current resistance already regarded as stubborn resistance, and in the end, it is useless?
Looking around, nearly half of the fallen monks, more than a hundred lives, basically had no room for struggle, and they just fell. The gray aura invaded their bodies, corroding their flesh away, and in the blink of an eye, their flesh began to rot, emitting an unbearable stench.
When the flesh is corroded, even the blood and bones are not spared, and the blood is eroded into a turbid gray for some reason, and when it flows to the ground, it turns black again, and the bones are the same, and they are quickly eroded and scarred, which looks very terrifying.
However, the only good news for the monks of Liangshan City was that once the gray aura invaded the human body, it could no longer enter and exit freely, and even if the person was eroded to death, the gray aura would be precipitated in the rotting flesh.
In such a moment, the overflowing gray aura was almost exhausted, but now there are only less than a hundred surviving monks guarding the city, but even the remaining ones, their spiritual power has been consumed too much, I am afraid it will not be enough to deal with the next battle.
Looking at the so many rotting flesh that had fallen around him, South Vietnam felt so hopeless for the first time. Whether it was the rift before the reactivation of the magic circle, or the barbarian army pressing the realm, he had never felt like this.
After the restart, the magic circle was broken, more than half of the more than 200 monks were killed and wounded, and the rest was not enough to continue the battle, and I am afraid that only one of them could fight.
And he was really unable to support him alone, just the captain standing in the sky in the night sky was enough to kill them all, not to mention the six commanders and the eighteen thousand warriors of the Great Desolate Clan who were eyeing him behind him.
"This native city can no longer be defended........ Why don't you say that those who take advantage of the natives still don't show up?" Zhou Beishan saw this situation and said to Mu Yuan.
"What are you anxious about?" Mu Yuan glanced back at Zhou Beishan, then got up directly and said to him: "Regardless of whether there are people from the upper realm behind those natives, I am afraid they will not be able to hold this city. ”
"This also means that this opportunity competition in the Ritual Fire Realm is about to come........"
"We just need to think about how to snatch food from the Great Wilderness Clan. ”
"Uh-huh........ You're right," Zhou Beishan also stood up at this moment, looked at Meng Ge in the sky, squinted his eyes, and said: "However, if the people of the Great Wilderness Clan who go to seize the opportunity are only of this level. ”
"Then this nether trial, even the master who sweeps the floor and guards the door of the Sword Palace can easily complete it. ”
“..........”
On the other side, Meng Ge saw that the people in Liangshan City were no longer able to fight, and then set his eyes on the depths of Liangshan City.
He thought in his heart, originally he used the burial formation ruler to break the city, and the ultimate goal was to force out the people from the upper realm who helped everyone in Liangshan City, as for Nanyue and even the city lord Tu Lintian, he didn't pay attention to it.
But now, the magic circle has been broken, and Liangshan City is like a deflated ball, and there is no movement anymore, which also makes him suspicious.
Could it be that the people from the upper realm who helped Liangshan City behind the scenes had already left here? Or did he want to catch them off guard when the Great Wilderness Clan seized the opportunity, and staged a good show of sandpiper and clam fighting and the fisherman profiting?
Or, maybe there is no one from the upper realm at all, all of this, even if it is the restart of the magic circle, is all done by Tu Lintian alone.
After thinking for a while, Meng Ge did not rush to attack Liangshan City, after all, this Liangshan City was already a lamb to be slaughtered in his eyes, and he didn't have to take action himself. Just six thousand commanders and 18,000 warriors of the Great Desolate Clan can become ferocious tigers and wolves.
As for the few survivors such as South Vietnam, they were like ants in his eyes, and he disdained to take their lives personally.
What's more, he wanted to recuperate even more now, after all, he had already consumed nearly half of his spiritual power by urging the Burial Formation Ruler before, and he was already not in a perfect state. If he kills any other immortal on the way, he may not be able to eat.
As soon as he thought of this, he put the burial ruler on his back and waved his hand, signaling the six commanders behind him to attack the city.
Seeing Mengge's instructions, Haolu, who was secretly glad that Mengge had successfully broken the formation, also nodded, and said to the people around him: "Xihe, Jin Lan, you two stay here for the time being, and command the army to press the border." ”
"As for the other three, follow me into the city first. Haolu looked at Chengfu, Naludo, and only half, and said.
The five of them nodded, and there was no objection to this arrangement, Xihe and Jin Lan left first, and went to the rear army to direct them to advance. And Chengfu and the other three followed Haolu closely and headed towards Liangshan City.
As for Monge, he did not leave with them, and after landing on the ground, he meditated on the spot and returned to his state as quickly as possible.
Seeing the culprit of the broken formation leaving, Nanyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but looking around, it was really miserable. Obviously, with the protection of the magic circle a moment ago, they could kill the barbarians besieging the city without injury, but now, just because of the captain of ten thousand people, the situation has been reversed, the magic circle has been broken, and more than half of the number of people have died.
Many of the monks who defended the city were killed before they even realized what had attacked them.
All this came too quickly, even the few who survived were glazed over, a few breaths were just a few breaths, and more than a hundred people were killed, such a price was too heavy.
In fact, this was only the first time that Meng Ge had used the Burial Formation Ruler, and if he could master it a little more, he would be able to mobilize the two qi of life and death to form more gray aura.
If that were the case, I am afraid that South Vietnam would have to be buried under that wave of offensive today.
At this moment, the defense of death qi and gray aura also consumed a lot of spiritual power in South Vietnam, and seeing that Haolu and the others were about to break through the city, he had no time for anything else, and went down to the city with those monks beside him to intercept Haolu and others.
"Huh........ Are the bugs finally no longer hiding?" said Narudo scoffing at the sight of the defenders coming out to die.
"Before, didn't you hide in this turtle shell, but now, you are finally willing to fight with us. Ignoring the others, he only stared at South Vietnam and said.
Haolu also stared at Nanyue, didn't say anything, in front of him, only the leader made him feel some threatening aura, and the rest of the people, like local chickens and dogs, did not have to be afraid.
