Soul Force Field

The moment Wu Yuan killed the monstrous creature, the morale of Zhang Yang's forces soared!

Twelve elite archers and nineteen elite soldiers continuously shot and threw their weapons!

At this range, and from an elevated position, the damage from thrown wooden spears even surpassed that of arrows. Basically, three wooden spears could take down an Azure Wolf, whereas elite archers needed to shoot six times consecutively to kill one.

Wu Yuan also jumped back inside the stockade wall at this point and, like the other soldiers, began throwing ordinary wooden spears to kill the enemies!

With his strength, anything within two hundred meters was his killing range, and he had a hundred percent hit rate. Whether it was an Azure Wolf or an Armored Deer Demon, there was no suspense—each was a headshot with a single spear.

In just over ten seconds, hundreds of the charging Azure Wolves and Armored Deer Demons were killed. They couldn't even get close. One must remember that Zhang Yang and Wu Yuan had previously stockpiled two thousand wooden spears. With good terrain, good visibility, and sufficient strength and skill, the Deer Demon's army was simply walking into a slaughter.

However, just as those Azure Wolves and Armored Deer Demons had suffered more than fifty percent casualties and no longer dared to charge, turning to flee, something happened three hundred meters away within the protective circle where the Deer Demon was. No one knew what the Deer Demon did, but the large antlers on its head, at least eight meters tall, instantly burned and turned to ash. Immediately after, accompanied by a mournful shriek, a cloud of black smoke rose into the air, writhing menacingly and continuously roaring in mid-air.

This black smoke monster, created by the sacrifice of the Deer Demon's large antlers, was extremely violent. The moment it materialized, it devoured three Azure Wolves under the Deer Demon's command. These Azure Wolf Demons were completely unable to resist and were reduced to bone fragments in a flash.

Then, with a whoosh, this massive black smoke monster crossed three hundred meters and swallowed Wu Yuan whole, giving him no chance to dodge.

The change happened too fast. Zhang Yang was stunned. Could this even happen? Damn, this Deer Demon really had a trump card.

What to do?

Some soldiers wanted to rescue Wu Yuan, but as soon as they rushed toward the black smoke monster, they collapsed as if struck by a nightmare.

Chaos ensued.

At this moment, the Deer Demon's side seized the opportunity and began to counterattack.

Even the Deer Demon itself, having lost its large antlers and now only seven meters tall, charged forward ferociously. Its massive size and strong hooves pounding the ground created a momentum no less powerful than that of the mountain monster.

"Imprisonment Spell!"

In the chaos, Zhang Yang reacted quickly. Without a word, he cast the Imprisonment Spell on Wu Yuan, who was enveloped by the black smoke monster, as he had no other option.

However, to his pleasant surprise, the Imprisonment Spell, known for its ability to simultaneously imprison both body and soul, was no joke. The spell was instantly successful, and the black smoke monster was imprisoned along with Wu Yuan's body.

But the side effect was that Zhang Yang himself felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Countless mournful cries and ghostly wails echoed in his ears, and for a fleeting moment, he even experienced hallucinations.

Yet, eventually, all the demonic sounds and hallucinations vanished, and Zhang Yang returned to normal. Wu Yuan's body reappeared before him, and the black smoke monster was gone.

But before Zhang Yang could examine the situation closely, an Azure Wolf Demon had already leaped over the stockade wall and pounced directly at him.

"Watch out, my lord!"

An Elite Sword and Shield Soldier shouted, rushing over and slicing the ambushing Azure Wolf Demon in two.

But the situation was dire. Without an expert like Wu Yuan to hold the line, and due to the chaos caused by the black smoke monster, the Azure Wolf Demons of the Deer Demon's side had already charged in. What was worse, the Deer Demon, which had suddenly changed its tactics, was now within a hundred meters. If they didn't find a solution, a bloody massacre was inevitable.

A thought flashed through Zhang Yang's mind, and he shouted.

"Throw the Imprisonment Spear! Focus fire on that Deer Demon!"

But at this point, no soldier had a moment to spare. Let alone throwing the Imprisonment Spear, they couldn't even mount a counterattack. There were too many enemies, and they were completely suppressed.

"Whoosh!"

A whoosh of wind passed his ear as an Azure Wolf Demon leaped over the soldiers protecting Zhang Yang and pounced at him. At this moment, it was too late for him to even grab a weapon, and with such a large creature, there was no possibility of hand-to-hand combat.

In that critical moment, Zhang Yang, somehow, remembered the small insect he had crushed when he previously tried to project his Soul Force.

That's right, Soul Projection!

Suddenly, the surrounding battlefield, filled with intense fighting, slowed down. Even the shouts of battle seemed distant. But this wasn't time slowing down; it was Zhang Yang's sensory speed increasing by an unknown multiple due to his Soul Projection.

At this moment, in this slowed-down battlefield, he sensed the five remaining Imprisonment Spears placed five meters away.

They were his arms, his flesh and blood, a part of his body.

He even only needed a single thought,

"Rise!"

An Imprisonment Spear suddenly flew up, like a nimble bird or a swimming fish, rapidly traversing within Zhang Yang's projected Soul Force Field!

All of this was so natural, yet incredibly wondrous.

Wherever Zhang Yang's thought went, the Imprisonment Spear would instantly arrive, gently passing through the bodies of Azure Wolves and Armored Deer Demons, one after another. Bursts of blood and gore were like romantic fireworks lighting up the night!

When everything returned to normal the next second, and that Imprisonment Spear lost its effect, thirteen Azure Wolves and two Armored Deer Demons had already been instantly killed!

The situation was directly reversed.

Everyone was stunned at this moment, because it was simply incredible. The monsters they were fighting for their lives had suddenly dropped dead. What the hell?

But Zhang Yang paid no mind. He was so excited he almost wanted to let out a long howl to the sky. He was wrong. Wu Yuan was right. This kind of artifact should be used this way, not thrown like a cold weapon!

That was truly undignified!

The Soul Force Field once again enveloped a fifty-meter radius. The second Imprisonment Spear flew up like a ghost. All the Azure Wolves and Armored Deer Demons within this range were cleared out in one second. They didn't even know how they died.

However, it was at this moment that the Deer Demon leader also charged into Zhang Yang's Soul Force Field. For some reason, perhaps because its soul strength was higher than Zhang Yang's, wherever it passed, Zhang Yang's projected soul threads were directly snapped.

Even the second Imprisonment Spear automatically dropped before it could get close. Damn it, it broke my spell?

Fortunately, at this very moment, the allied soldiers, who had regained the initiative, also began to automatically focus fire on the Deer Demon. In an instant, dozens of feathered arrows and over ten wooden spears rained down like a storm, but they only slightly interfered with the Deer Demon.

Even the feathered arrows from elite archers only left white marks on the Deer Demon's body, and the thrown wooden spears penetrated only a few centimeters, completely unable to break its defense.

"My lord! Give me one!"

At that moment, an Elite Sword and Shield Soldier suddenly rushed over, picked up an Imprisonment Spear, and hurled it at the Deer Demon!

This guy is so cool and smart, Zhang Yang thought, so excited he wanted to hug and bite him.

That's right, because his soul strength was lower than the Deer Demon's, he couldn't use soul power to activate the Imprisonment Spear to attack it. But other soldiers' attacks couldn't break through its defense. So, at this moment, this Elite Sword and Shield Soldier's method of throwing a cold weapon naturally ignored the Deer Demon's soul strength, posing a fatal threat to it!

No sooner said than done!

The Imprisonment Spear flew out like lightning. The Deer Demon, as expected, activated its Level 3 defense without a word. But how could a Level 3 defense possibly stop an Imprisonment Spear that could even obliterate mountain monsters?

Boom!

A loud bang, like thunder out of a clear sky, caused the Level 3 defensive circle to explode automatically. It not only stunned many of the Azure Wolves nearby, but also disoriented the Deer Demon itself. It had to be said, this thing was truly formidable!

However, that momentary disorientation was truly enough!

Zhang Yang's Soul Force Field instantly enveloped the area. Under his desperate urging, two Imprisonment Spears, like two bolts of lightning, pierced into the Deer Demon's chest, one after the other. Two attacks, one wound. Even though the Deer Demon was skilled in both scholarly and martial arts, cultivated both magic and martial arts, had extremely high defense, and possessed bizarre abilities, at this moment, there was nothing it could do. A blood pit the size of a face was blasted open!

Right in its vital chest, its entire internal organs and abdominal cavity were mangled.

Finally, the Deer Demon's eyes were wide, as if in complete disbelief, as it crashed to the ground.

Killed!

Instantly, a larger, more dazzling white light than ever before shot into the sky, as if fearing the Deer Demon's soul would escape, directly enveloping its corpse. Then, after a full five seconds, the kill message finally appeared.
