Chapter Ninety-Nine: The War Between Man and Beast (2)
Killing is going on all the time, not only soul beasts being slaughtered by humans, but also human bodies being torn apart and bitten by soul beasts are happening all the time!
Soul beasts are far more powerful beings than humans, and in this kind of hand-to-hand combat, if it weren't for the superiority of humans in armor and weapons, soul beasts would unilaterally slaughter humans!
But on this battlefield, humans have a slight advantage over soul beasts.
Because......
In the center of the battlefield, a blood-colored figure seemed to be not afraid of exhaustion, he was like a grim reaper, his tendons were broken and flesh was tumbling everywhere he passed!
"Scythe Sweep!"
"Blade Through!"
Even Ma De and Andy, who had led the troops for many years, couldn't help but feel a tingling in their scalps when they looked at Lu Yuan's figure in the middle of the soul beast tide at this time.
Even if they were also Soul Emperor powerhouses, they would never dare to take the lead like Lu Yuan, who had no personal soldiers and no army!
Not to mention the Soul Emperor, he is a Title Douluo, and he doesn't dare to face thousands of troops by himself so crazy.
After all, in the original worldview of the Douluo Continent, an army of one million or even an army of about 100,000 people can be compared to a Titled Douluo.
Therefore, even if he reached the Title Douluo level, he would not dare to rush into the enemy formation so rashly.
After all, the top powerhouse in the Douluo Continent world, Title Douluo, has always been a human, not a god, and he can't be reborn with a broken limb, can't have a lifespan of thousands of years, and can't even resist a million army.
Even once the soul power is exhausted, that Title Douluo is a lamb to be slaughtered in front of the army!
But Lu Yuan was so fierce at this time that he went deep into the center of the beast tide, and he didn't have any physical strength or even soul power consumption!
It's horrible!
The soldiers on the battlefield suddenly had a deep impression of the newly canonized Marquis of Tianying, the newly canonized marquis of the empire.
Lu Yuan was in the state of the Death Star incarnation, and the soul beasts he killed continuously turned into instant vitality and soul power, restoring his state at this time.
At the same time, Ao Neng is constantly infused into the Death Star Scythe, making him feel tireless!
And now everyone is looking at it, Lu Yuan, who is one person and one sickle, seems to be dragging most of the soul beasts from the impact of this beast tide at this moment!
It was precisely because of this that the tide of soul beasts, whether it was their size or their stronger impact, did not break through the defense of the Xuanwu Army on the side of the Heaven Dou City army in an instant.
It can be said that in this soul beast impact, if it weren't for Lu Yuan's presence, then the side that is now at a disadvantage should be Heaven Dou City!
But although Lu Yuan was able to pull the tide of soul beasts on the ground, he was a little too busy to face the soul beasts in the sky that were impacting the defense of the walls of Heaven Dou City.
Yan Zhuyin, as the only senior non-commissioned officer on the city wall of Heaven Dou City, faced with the dozens of powerful flying soul beasts that were at least seven thousand years old, her eyes were sharp.
Because of the most powerful flying soul beast at the head, she was no stranger to it at all.
The huge pair of brilliant red and black wings, and the wings and the body of the insect were covered with small scales like fish scales, and the two compound eyes on the body of the insect were constantly flashing with scarlet red light.
It was the source of Yan Zhuyin's original fourth soul ring - the Red Refining Scale Moth!
And looking at its size and appearance, this Red Refining Scale Moth definitely has more than eight thousand years of cultivation!
Coupled with its weird and powerful skills, once it comes to the walls of Heaven Dou City, it will definitely cause huge casualties to the defenders on the city walls!
Yan Zhuyin definitely can't sit still because of this!
After she directly shot the three flying soul beasts in the sky in a row, she condensed her surging soul power!
"Third Soul Technique!" The third purple soul ring behind her slowly rose, and a lifelike fire phoenix was condensed from the martial soul falling phoenix bow in her hand, and then she came out of her hand!
"Feng Ming cries and blood breaks!"
The terrifying power emanating from her hands condensed on the Falling Phoenix Bow, forming a lifelike, winged flaming phoenix, and then the phoenix flew through the sky!
But unfortunately, the Red Refining Scale Moth that she wanted to hit was the first to bear the brunt of it, and at this moment, it disappeared extremely quickly in mid-air!
As if flickering and moving, he actually dodged Yan Zhuyin's extremely fast Feng Ming crying blood!
Empty flame leap!
A rare spatial talent possessed by the Red Refining Scale Moth!
At this moment, not only did it use the Empty Flame Leap to dodge Yan Zhuyin's phoenix crying blood, but it jumped a distance of nearly fifty meters at once, and it was only thirty or forty meters away from the defenders on the wall of Heaven Dou City.
However, although Feng Ming's weeping blood broke did not hit the Red Refining Scale Moth, it directly hit the two thousand-year-old soul beasts that roared behind the Red Refining Scale Moth in the sky!
In an instant, the bursting flames directly engulfed their huge bodies!
But the crisis has not yet passed, Yan Zhuyin once again pulled his bow and arrows, intending to continue to shoot down the whistling Red Refining Scale Moth!
The Red Refining Scale Moth suddenly screamed, "Hissββ!
οΌ β
Then, scarlet-colored flame rays erupted from its mouthparts!
At this time, the defenders on Heaven Dou City had already reached its attack range!
Flame rays as thick as an adult's arm, with a high temperature like volcanic magma, were about to sweep over the defenders on the walls of Heaven Dou City!
At the same time, the remaining dozens of soul beasts that were nearly seven thousand years old, although they did not have the powerful spatial displacement skill of the Red Refining Scale Moth to use the Void Flame Leap to reach the distance that could attack the defenders of the city wall.
But it's almost close to this attack distance!
Even Yan Zhuyin felt a sense of powerlessness at the moment, as if it was a foregone conclusion that the city wall would be broken......
But at this moment......
"First Soul Skill! Flame Freeze the Soul! β
A huge flame arrow missed, directly at the Red Refining Scale Moth, and the huge arrow missed and collided directly with the Red Refining Scale Moth's flame ray.
But it didn't look like it was evenly matched, and the flame arrow directly recoiled back against the flame ray, directly hitting the huge body of the Red Refining Scale Moth.
And then...... The body of the Red Refining Scale Moth exploded directly.
You must know that the Flame Soul Fixing Technique was supposed to be a control soul skill, but now this control soul skill that should not have been so explosive in damage actually directly killed a soul beast that was more than 8,000 years old......
It's like the hooks of robots, Titans, and Hammerstone in League of Legends, which everyone knows are control skills and don't hurt.
But what does it mean that the robot hooked the opposite side with a hook full of blood......
It means that the robot has become hugely fat, and it means that the economic difference between the two sides has become irreparable!
So what is the level of this soul master who directly killed the Red Refining Scale Moth with the Burning Flame Soul Fixation......
Yan Zhuyin couldn't help but look back at this time, and found that a man who looked nearly sixty years old, with white temples but a straight waist, was wearing fiery red armor and a fiery red longbow in his hand.
"Daddy." She shouted.
Yan Xian's eyes were full of coldness, "On the battlefield, you should call me a general!" β
"Yes, General." Yan Zhuyin nodded and said.
"You've done a great job." Yan Xian's face softened slightly at this time, after all, this was his daughter, "Leave the matter to us old guys now." β
In an instant, Yan Zhuyin saw dozens of soldiers who were also holding the Flame Longbow Martial Soul appear around Yan Xian one after another, constantly shooting down the soul beasts in the sky with powerful shots.
It is the Yan family's descendant soul masters!
At this time, the gate of Heaven Dou City on the ground was wide open, and a tall man with brown hair and his left eye closed as if it had been struck by lightning directly led thousands of Fengwu soldiers and rushed to the battlefield!
The Marquis of Fengwu of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Fengwu General nicknamed the Tiger of the Desert - Andrew!
"Kill!" He roared filial piety, roared up countless winds and sand, and then took the lead in leading the soldiers and tore apart the soul beasts in front of him!
"There will be no sacrifice on the battlefield!" Andrew growled, "But I will promise that I will always fight before you!" β
In an instant, the morale of the Fengwu army soared, and he directly burst out with powerful combat power, directly following his footsteps, tearing out the soul beast tide in front of him again!
β¦β¦
On the battlefield, Lu Yuan also knew that there were already people behind him to help.
At least there is already some guarantee in the rear, although he does not need such security either.
He alone is an army of thousands of horses!
In front of him, countless soul beasts roared towards him as if they were dying.
"First Soul Skill! Death Star Shattering Slash! Lu Yuan directly used the first soul technique at this moment, and the blood-colored crescent slash broke through the air from the blood-colored demon scythe!
In an instant, the soul beast within a hundred meters in front of his body was slashed off by the Death Star like wheat, and then fell.
At this moment, if you look at it from the sky, it is like there is suddenly an extra "open space" in front of Lu Yuan.
But after all, these soul beasts are not human beings, in the face of this bloody and violent scene to the extreme, there is no fear at all, a hundred meters away from Lu Yuan's front, the surging soul beasts attacked again!
"I'll direct this symphony of violence!" Suddenly, he shouted with a cold look in his eyes.
Although he didn't feel any physical fatigue in his Death Star incarnation form, he was also disgusted by the seemingly endless killing.
This beast tide doesn't even have soul beasts that are more than 10,000 years old, they are just soul beasts that are thousands of years old, so how can he be interested?
The killing that was too boring, let him finish it early, and he stared coldly at the soul beast roaring in front of him.
γ
Then, the fourth and sixth soul rings under Lu Yuan's feet slowly rose!
"Fourth Soul Skill! The star god is rampage! β
The effect of the Star God Rampage, in the next ten minutes, strengthens Lu Yuan's strength by two hundred percent, and at the same time, any next attack after launching this soul skill will increase its effect by two hundred percent!
The light of the soul ring turned into blood-colored starlight, shining on Lu Yuan's body, making his blue and gold shadow armor instantly turn into a thick blood-colored armor!
The powerful amplification effect directly made the aura on his body more and more terrifying, and then Lu Yuan's last soul ring lit up!
He held aloft the blood-colored demon scythe, like a god-like demon armor mask, making him look like the gods of the heavens without sorrow or joy!
"Sixth Soul Technique! The shadow is falling! Lu Yuan shouted, and at the same time, the blood-colored demon scythe erupted with a dark slash and flew towards the tide of tens of thousands of soul beasts and beasts in front of him!
The effect of "Shadow Fall" is that Lu Yuan uses the Death Star Scythe to send out an energy sweep to slash a range in front of him, and within the range of the attack, he will first apply a "fear" effect to all targets for about half a second, and then a "Shadow Explosion" will be generated in that range.
The shadows beneath their feet will explode directly into bombs, causing them a shadow corrosive effect!
And just before the shadow collapsed and hit the soul beast tide, those low-level soul beasts in the beast tide actually felt a deep fear rising in their hearts at the same time at this moment!
Originally, it was only half a second, but under the increase of the effect of the Star God's rampage, it was enhanced to a second of fear time, and it looked like they were standing in place in a daze, as if they had no power to resist!
And the next moment, the shadow collapsed and directly hit the surging tide of soul beasts!
The shadows under the feet of countless soul beasts shone in the sunlight, and at this moment, after coming into contact with the shadow collapse, they collided instantly!
Then countless shadows actually burst directly at the feet of the soul beast tide at this moment!
The power of the shadow that burst out did not have the terrifying impact of flames and thunder, but directly "eroded" the tall bodies of tens of thousands of soul beasts!
Everyone looked at it, only to see that those powerful soul beasts with invulnerable fur were all corroded by an inexplicable black substance!
Some lucky soul beasts with low cultivation were naturally directly corroded by the power of shadows, and their entire boulder-like bodies were directly corroded to the point that there was not even a bit of flesh left, leaving only relatively hard white bones standing in place.
And those unlucky soul beasts directly corroded most of their bodies, and the power of dark shadows was still attached to its huge wounds, which looked extremely terrifying!
The lethality caused by Lu Yuan's move Star God Rampage + Panic Shadow Collapse is terrifying to the extreme!
The soul beast tide on the ground was directly beaten with tens of thousands of casualties, plus the soul beasts killed by Lu Yuan and all the soldiers before, this battle definitely caused more than 100,000 kills!
And at this moment, not to mention those soul beasts whose wild instincts can occupy most of their wisdom.
Even the hundreds of thousands of troops in Heaven Dou City couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the terrifying lethality caused by Lu Yuan's blow at this moment.
Not far from the rear, Ma De and Andy stopped in place, and Ma De muttered to himself, "Is this the youngest marquis in the history of the Empire?" β
"This blow, even if it is a full force blow of the Soul Saint, is it not so powerful." Andrew's one-eyed eyes looked at the blood-colored figure wrapped in shadow armor in front of him, and couldn't help but admire.
And on the city wall, Yan Xian, as an archer, his eyesight was not very good, he looked at the young figure, and made up his mind even more.
You must swear to follow in Lu Yuan's footsteps, so that the glory of the Flame General can continue forever!
And after Lu Yuan's terrifying blow, the Star Dou Great Forest more than a hundred miles away did not emerge more soul beasts at this time, and continued to attack Lu Yuan's side.
As for those soul beasts that were not within the range of the Shadow Collapse attack and were lucky enough to survive on the battlefield, they all slowly retreated with horror in their eyes now.
In the end, the tide of soul beasts and beasts that originally looked like dark clouds were pressing down on the city disappeared from everyone's sight.
The tide of soul beasts and beasts has temporarily receded.
Suddenly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This battle is finally won!
β¦β¦
After simply reining in his army, Lu Yuan returned to the walls of Heaven Dou City.
Countless civilian soldiers are now completing the aftermath of the war, the first thing is to calculate the number of casualties and collect the wounded, and at the same time to repair the wear and tear on the city wall after being attacked, as well as to dispose of the corpses of soul beasts and soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.
"How about the casualties." Imperial Marshal Goron didn't go on the field to kill the enemy just now.
Because he believed that with Andy, Made, Yan Xian, Andrew, and Lu Yuan on the battlefield, and there were no soul beasts for more than 10,000 years in the soul beast tide, this was enough to win the battle between soul beasts and humans.
At this moment, he, Andrew and Yan Xian, as well as the Shi brothers' grandfather, Xuanwu Hou Shishan, were standing in front of Lu Yuan and the others.
"The city defense army lost two thousand two hundred and two dead and wounded 12,347." The commander of the city defense army suddenly arched his hand and said.
"Nine hundred and forty ordinary soldiers of the Xuanwu Army were killed and two thousand eight hundred wounded." Graphite stepped forward to face his grandfather Shi Shan at this time, and said with a pale face, "Our soul master has not died, but almost everyone is injured. β
Shi Shan stepped forward and said helplessly, "It's normal to have casualties on the battlefield, you two shouldn't take it too seriously." β
Graphite Stone Mill nodded with a pale face at this time, "I'll understand." β
Andy also stepped forward at this time and said, "The Fengwu army lost 1,557 dead and 4,396 wounded. β
The difference between the Fengwu Army and the Xuanwu Army is that the Xuanwu Army is actually only used as a defensive army, while the Fengwu Army is to come forward and fight in person, so it is normal to have casualties.
As for the city defense army, it is even worse, because the source of the city defense army is definitely not as good as these titled formation armies.
Moreover, almost except for a few high-ranking officers, the other soldiers were all ordinary people, and they had no advantage in the face of soul beasts, so it was reasonable that the degree of casualties was even greater than that of the Fengwu Army and the Xuanwu Army.
"Three hundred and sixty-nine were killed and one thousand seventy wounded." Yan Zhuyin said at this time.
The Flame Army was mostly archers on the walls, and some infantry were behind the ground, so the casualties were very small and reasonable.
At this time, it was time for Mader, who stepped forward and said, "No one in the Royal Knights was killed, and two thousand eight hundred and sixteen were wounded. β
"Sure enough, it is worthy of the elite of the empire." At this time, Andrew couldn't help but admire.
"That's it." Ma De smiled slightly, "Every knight of our Royal Knights is one of the elite of the empire, how can it be easily folded to a few people here?" β
Ge Long nodded, "In short, the casualties in this battle are not even 20%, which is a happy event. β
"Thanks to the Celestial Shadow Marquis." At this time, Fengwu Marquis Andrew smiled heroically, and then looked at Lu Yuan.
"It's just the soldiers' lives." Lu Yuan chuckled lightly and said modestly.
"No, no, no, I've seen the Heavenly Shadow Hou directly defeat tens of thousands of soul beasts with one blow!" Andrew said with a hearty smile, "It's really my honor to have the Celestial Shadow Marquis as a comrade-in-arms. β
"Fengwu Hou praised it." Lu Yuan said with a smile, "However, although we defeated the attack of the soul beast this time, Lord Marshal and my colleagues, I think everyone must have found out......"
Ge Long nodded solemnly, "This time the soul beast attack doesn't even have a 10,000-year-old soul beast, so presumably this is also an appetizer, I will tell Your Majesty and let him choose." β
