Decapitation Plan, Sending the Bell!

"There are already hundreds of bow-wielding phantoms!"

"And their numbers are growing, another doubling and they'll break a thousand."

Everyone on the defense towers watched this spectacular solo performance.

The Manor Lord's entrance was quite impressive.

Could it be that after assisting, he could deal with all the crows by himself?

However, they soon realized they were overthinking it.

It wasn't that simple at all.

Suddenly, a refined black crow king, smaller than a normal large crow, flew from the sky.

It was less than half a meter long, appearing exceptionally delicate and small. Its feathers were black and shiny, and each wing was like a sharp sword, gleaming with a metallic cold light. It rode the wind and quickly swooped down.

BOOM!

A few bow-wielding phantoms, acting on unconscious instinct, were blown to pieces.

WHOOSH!

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Hundreds of bow-wielding phantoms instinctively drew their bows and shot arrows.

But this ultra-small crow was too fast, like an afterimage, it zipped around, blowing up the phantoms on the ground one by one.

In just a few minutes, all hundreds of phantoms were annihilated.

"This..." All the blacksmiths on the defense towers were stunned. Their advantageous situation was gone in an instant?

The Manor Lord's clone was a bit fragile.

But then again, that seemed to be the case.

This clone clearly became stronger when facing stronger opponents.

Since it was split from the enemy, if it were planted on an ant, how strong could an ant clone split from an ant's soul be?

The combat power of these clones seemed to always be a 50/50 match with the enemy, not much different from the crow's current strength.

"The boss has appeared."

"Is this... a personal expedition?"

"That's true. If it doesn't act now, and the numbers roll around twice more, it'll be a nightmare. We have to nip this virus in the bud."

Before everyone could analyze the situation.

In the next second, the opponent's sharp gaze swept over them, and it began to directly peck at a nearby defense tower. The bird's pecking was as easy as digging into tofu.

"Shoot!"

"Shoot quickly!!"

"Damn, this is terrifying."

Someone from the opposing tower defense shouted.

Magic Bronze arrows were rapidly shot at the crow king.

Unfortunately, it covered itself with its wings, like two iron fans protecting it. The arrowheads only made metallic clanging sounds upon impact with its wings, and it continued to dig into the ground with its head down.

Unable to be blocked, the crow king instantly dug through a defense tower. Several blacksmiths, terrified, turned and ran, "This is too exaggerated! The tower defense was broken instantly! Quick, to the tunnels, to the tunnels!"

Ning Zheng saw this scene through the view and frowned deeply.

"So strong."

He looked at the situation through the manor's images, contemplating the gap in combat power between himself and the opponent.

He was in the Two Bodies Realm, while the black crow was clearly at the Grand Perfection of the Five Bodies Realm. There was a gap of three minor realms between them.

If it were ordinary cultivators, it wouldn't be impossible for him to fight above his level, splitting repeatedly, swarming, and kiting the opponent to death.

But the opponent's swift speed was a natural counter to his system.

If he couldn't hit it, he couldn't poison it, and it could quickly eliminate his clones.

"These blacksmiths have lost, and my clones can't help much anymore," Ning Zheng frowned silently.

He looked at the more than seven thousand luck values in his hand, thinking about how to use them flexibly to have some chance of counterattacking and winning.

BOOM!

A large pit appeared.

The "Eyes Legendary" team's tower defense was breached.

In the underground tunnel, Yan Hua, Yan Dai, Yan Xia, and Yan Zhong, a team of four, fled like madmen.

But they didn't get far.

BANG! Yan Hua's head exploded on the spot.

The three blacksmiths who had run further were quickly caught up to, and with another BANG, another one exploded. They had no power to resist at all.

The gap between them and the demonic beasts was far too great!

Then, the Crow King began to swiftly attack the blacksmiths from other teams in the passage. Amidst screams, casualties continued to rise.

"The defense line has collapsed."

"We're going to die. Total annihilation. It's as easy for them to kill us as it is to kill chickens."

The pressure from the enemy was immense, making the blacksmiths' nerves incredibly taut as they fled frantically.

Unknowingly, the Crow King pursued them into an underground room.

Words were written on the door of the room:

[Boss Bell Room]

The Crow King, unable to read, charged in. It saw that the entire room was circular, completely constructed from bronze-colored Magic Bronze. With a bang, the large Magic Bronze door behind it slammed shut.

Seeing itself trapped, a trace of human-like mockery flickered in the Crow King's eyes, as these Magic Bronze walls couldn't stop it at all.

But in the next second.

Duang!

The entire Magic Bronze wall began to vibrate violently. The entire room was actually a giant bronze bell.

Boom!!

The Crow King's head exploded, leaving it dizzy and disoriented.

The feeling was akin to playing a computer game, happily typing away, when someone silently placed a heavy iron bell over your head from behind and then, picking up a large iron hammer, suddenly struck the bell.

Deafening!

It was enough to make one want to kill!

Now, the Crow King's brains had also been thoroughly jiggled!

A puddle of mush.

However, due to its terrifying regenerative abilities, its head was rapidly regenerating.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Terrifying sound waves reverberated, shaking the Crow King's very intelligent brain into a blank state, completely unable to form any thoughts.

This was also the blacksmiths' plan.

The difference between mortals and low-level cultivators is also quite significant.

The disparity manifested in the enemy's extremely high defense and rapid regeneration, making them difficult to kill.

Mental attacks like the bell sound were the only powerful control methods they could think of that would be effective.

"These kinds of demonic beasts adapt quickly, strike it again!" someone shouted.

Dong!!!

A group of people outside banged on the bell fiercely, shouting to bolster their courage: "Monster, listen to my Great Thunder Bell Sound! Listen to the bell's song!"

"Quick!! If we can't take it down now, we'll all die!" Jiu Cai Rong's face was grave. He immediately waved his hand: "Time is short, open the door immediately and bring out the suona."

The bronze door suddenly opened.

Thump, thump, thump.

A group of Money Boys, with their ears plugged, were extremely well-trained. A giant suona was quickly brought in, and it was placed over the dizzy Crow King's head. Taking a deep breath.

Blow!!

Boom!

The Crow King's brain was once again thoroughly shaken, keeping it under continuous control.

They dared not strike the large bell outside the room anymore, as anyone who entered would be directly shaken to death. Thus, they switched to the large suona for localized control.

"Where are the executioners?" Jiu Cai Rong shouted suddenly.

A loli holding a magic artifact greatsword rushed in, it was Su Yu Niang.

The magic artifact had already been successfully produced by Dao Jiujiu and her team after working overtime.

[Wind Crow Mad Blade]

[Trait: Swift]

[Magic Bronze Energy Storage Count: 1/1]

It could only be triggered once a day.

Afterward, it would have to wait for the Magic Bronze to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth to store power again.

"Let me!"

Su Yu Niang held her sword and walked in, taking a deep breath. The situation was urgent. Looking at the Crow King, which was under strong control, she knew it wouldn't last long; the enemy would adapt soon.

They had to seize this opportunity to deal with it.

It was a fleeting chance!

The enemy falling for the trap wasn't because the Crow King was too stupid, but rather because they had planned while the enemy was caught off guard.

After all, their original intention was for the tower defense to be the first line of defense. After the arrows were shot and the tower defense was broken, they would retreat to the second line of defense: tunnel warfare.

The path is laid out here, you have to chase them down, right?

Once they chase, they will enter this room. No matter how high your intelligence, you'll fear a surprise kill.

"Not good!! It's protecting its internal organs very well." Su Yu Niang didn't know where to strike, her mind in a mess, only feeling the urgency of death surrounding her entire body, chilling her to the bone.

The opponent is at the Grand Perfection of the Five Bodies Realm. Not having reached the Four Organs Realm means their internal organs haven't been tempered with spiritual energy.

This is a weakness. If you stab its belly, you'll win.

But the crow king before them, even though it was stunned and unable to think, still used its wings to protect its front and back, forming a defensive turtle that was impossible to attack.

There isn't much time. The opponent will soon adapt completely.

"We can only settle for the next best thing, chopping off its head!" Su Yu Niang took a deep breath, raising her magic artifact high. "It's just a demonic beast in the first realm of transcending the mortal, it shouldn't be much stronger than a mortal. It's equivalent to the ninth level of Qi Condensation cultivators in traditional cultivation novels. Its flesh and skin should still be breakable by mortals."

Swift!

She softly chanted, raised her magic artifact high, and swung it down fiercely. "What's more, I'm holding a magic artifact!"

The extreme speed combined with the unique strength of the Money Boy managed to lop off half of the bird's head in one go, still attached to its tendons, bones, and spine.

"Its head is really tough, but this is already great! Keep it up! More than half of it is open. Team Three, hurry up, you can bring out the guillotine!" Jiu Cai Rong shouted suddenly.

A group of people rushed in. The guillotine, which had been prepared long ago, had a circular opening. They put the bird's head into it.

"Heave ho! Heave ho! Heave ho!" Seven or eight Money Boys suddenly turned the gears with force, and the blade pressed down inch by inch.

Crack!

The bird's head was finally chopped off.

But the next second, the headless crow king finally woke up from the intense pain, realizing someone was cutting off its head.

The severed head let out a sharp, piercing roar, seemingly regaining consciousness rapidly.

"Five Bodies Realm, lifespan eight hundred to two thousand years. It can survive decapitation."

"But if we take the head away, its headless body will just charge around mindlessly."

Not greedy for merit, nor daring to be greedy, the group retreated in an orderly fashion, taking the bird's head with them and closing the door.

The body that had lost its head suddenly became berserk, crashing around wildly, denting the room everywhere. After a few minutes, it quickly smashed a large hole in the ceiling.

The headless crow king soared into the sky.

"This boss is so outrageous!"

The group tightly bound the struggling bird's head with heavy chains and then placed it in an isolated Magic Bronze box before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

It was brainless now.

Next, with the boss's intelligence forcibly lowered, it would be much easier to deal with.

Without this leader secretly arranging troops and finding blind spots, as long as they blocked that broken defense tower, it would be much easier for them to defend again.

Meanwhile, Ning Zheng, who was hiding and preparing an ambush, froze. His face was filled with bewilderment.

How could they be so outrageous? A mere group of mortals, using only a crudely made magic artifact, had actually succeeded in chopping off its head?
