"Close the City Gate."

After glancing at the battle below, Gu Xi decisively gave the order.

The situation is now under his control; he no longer needs to use the Yaksha King's corpse to attract the Yaksha King's attention.

Closing the City Gate and engaging in a proper offensive and defensive battle is the choice Gu Xi needs to make now.

At Gu Xi's command, the City Gate of Aryadovi Tower were slammed shut with a bang.

When Yaksha King, who was trying to boost the morale of his soldiers, heard this voice, he turned around and looked back. His face turned ugly.

A castle with its City Gate open is much more difficult to fight than a castle with its City Gate closed.

If the previous army were by his side, the Yaksha King would naturally have nothing to worry about; he could conquer even the most difficult castles.

However, his troops now number less than one-tenth of their original strength, so they cannot be counted as originally.

That's why he sent Royal Guard out immediately, partly to assassinate Gu Xi and partly to seize the City Gate so that the troops behind could pass through.

Now that the City Gate are closed, the situation is different.

Yaksha King gritted his teeth and turned to the walls of Aryadovi Tower.

"Whoever ascends first Ten Thousand Household Marquis!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers under the Yaksha King roared in unison, raised their weapons, and charged toward the city wall.

The general who had led five hundred Axe Hand to charge ahead earlier increased his speed, and his warhorse, which had turned from crimson to a bright red as if it were about to burn, charged forward at a significantly faster pace.

"Shooting!"

Upon seeing the enemy charging forward, Gu Xi decisively gave the order.

This time, the Skeleton Archer finally didn't embarrass Gu Xi.

Their arrows landed far away on the soldiers, unlike when they dealt with Royal Guard's men, where they couldn't hit them at all.

The Axe Hand following behind this general were only wearing ordinary Leather Armor and did not carry shields, so the arrows still caused them considerable damage.

After being targeted, they only charged forward a hundred meters before one-fifth of their soldiers died from the archers' arrows.

But the generals at the front didn't care about any of that.

He held a long sword in one hand and grabbed the bridle of his warhorse with the other, constantly urging the horse to accelerate.

As he rushed forward, layers upon layers of afterimages appeared behind him.

Those phantoms were all in the shape of Yakshas, all of whom had appeared when Gu Xi fought the Earth Demon Cave.

The most common type is the Bone-Eating Yaksha, which focuses on strength and defense.

As the several layers of illusory figures descended, the general's appearance became somewhat demonic.

At this moment, behind Death Avatar-Death God who was fighting Royal Guard's men, appeared the phantom of a Yaksha.

The phantom was in the form of Gray Yaksha. After landing on the Death Avatar-Death God — the Grim Reaper's movements became noticeably faster.

Gu Xi then realized that the ability used by the general was similar to the Yaksha Curse that Death Avatar-Death God had just activated.

However, Gu Xi was somewhat unsure whether the general was using the power of the purple armor, a spell, or whether this general, like the Yaksha King, was a Yaksha who had abandoned his physical body.

While Gu Xi was still puzzled, the general had already rushed to the city wall.

At this point, the Skeleton Archer had already begun focusing their fire on this general.

At the same time, Gu Xi also realized that this armed man's strength should be around level 14.

It hasn't reached level 15 yet.

Gu Xi looked up at the Nether Soul Dragon in the sky. The Death Avatar-Bone Dragon should be kept to cooperate with the Corpse Mother to deal with the Yaksha King, while this weapon should be dealt with by the Nether Soul Dragon.

Just as Gu Xi was about to beckon the Nether Soul Dragon down, Luna appeared behind Gu Xi.

Seeing the situation before her, Luna immediately shut her mouth, swallowed back the information she was about to report, and joined Gu Xi in commanding the soldiers on the city wall.

With Luna's help, Gu Xi's pressure was greatly reduced.

Luna can also play a significant role in defending the city.

The mirror technique she mastered was incredibly strange; sometimes, enemies charging forward would clearly see the right direction, only to find themselves running backward when they looked up.

This was a severe blow to that military general.

He used a secret technique to strengthen himself, keeping his body at a very high level, but this technique was extremely physically demanding.

Normally, he could maintain the secret technique and rush up to the city wall.

But now that Luna has delayed him, his time has been wasted.

Most importantly, he unknowingly veered off course, and every time he realized something was wrong, he had to stop and readjust.

This naturally affected the rhythm of his charge.

After all, when charging forward, you need to press on with one burst of energy.

After this interruption three times, his warhorse had turned Blazing Red, but he still hadn't reached the city wall.

This infuriated the armed man, who roared loudly.

"You evil Daoist, if you have the guts, let me pass."

"Go to hell."

Gu Xi rolled his eyes at the military officer, showing no intention of letting anyone pass. "Concentrate fire and kill this guy!"

The Skeleton Archer Leader quickly rearranged his men's positions, concentrating their firepower on the general.

At that moment, the color of the warhorse beneath the general changed once again.

It changed from Blazing Red to bright white.

Then there was a loud bang, and the warhorse exploded.

This situation startled Gu Xi.

It turned out that the warhorse had been overused, and the force exceeded the level that the warhorse could withstand, causing it to explode.

However, as the warhorse exploded, the general had a sudden inspiration. Using the force of the explosion, he propelled himself forward, his target the walls of Aryadovi Tower.

In the general's mind, the explosion must have blasted him into a straight line.

Even if Luna's Mirror Image Technique is incredibly powerful, it's impossible for her to turn a straight line into an arc.

But he was wrong. The most common features in a mirror are refraction and reflection.

Let alone turning a straight line into an arc, even bouncing this thing back would be a piece of cake.

As the general flew towards Aryadovi Tower, Luna pointed in front of her, and a huge mirror appeared directly in front of the general's flight path.

The general had no control over his flight direction and plunged headlong into the air.

The next instant, the warrior flew out of the mirror and hurtled toward the Yaksha King's position at an even faster speed.

Seeing the warrior flying towards him, Yaksha King's expression turned quite ugly.

"Useless thing."

He then raised his hand, and a powerful force slowed down the speed of the flying general, preventing him from being crushed to death on the spot.

Upon seeing this, Gu Xi's eyes lit up, and he decisively turned around and gave the order to those behind him.

"Yong Dou, Extract Mana!"
