"Attack the city! Attack the city!!"

Han True Qi so angry that his vision went black for a moment.

He had just used the Power of All Living Beings that he had accumulated over ten years to forcibly bypass the army and connect with an abandoned Witch Spirit Statue in the city.

As a result, they saw a large number of logistics troops busily setting up various weapons.

This kid is clearly bluffing!

And he also saw...

A general from the Inner Scene Realm used Gale Domain to blow the smoke from the barbecue towards them.

What is this doing?

The siege was finally about to begin, but the army below did not charge out like wolves and tigers as expected; instead, they descended into complete chaos.

"Damn it, I've been smelling this barbecue for ages, are we finally going to attack the city?"

"It smells so good, I'm almost dizzy from the aroma."

"Someone fainted from the incense!"

"Medic! Medic! Our captain is foaming at the mouth!"

Han Zhen snapped out of his rage, sniffed the aroma of the barbecue, and suddenly his expression changed.

At first, he was just wondering why the barbecue smelled so good, but his attention was drawn to the kid on the city wall and Ying Bing, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Now he's realized why.

This barbecue smells intoxicating!

It's Muscle-Softening Powder!

This isn't just a ruse; it's a multi-pronged attack!

"This kid tricked us?!" The Hundred Beast Hall Master stared intently at Li Mo on the city wall. He wasn't greatly affected, but the ordinary soldiers were.

But to be honest, as a member of the Demonic Sect, he had plotted against countless people throughout his life.

But Muscle-Softening Powder to the barbecue smoke, first using barbecue to paralyze the enemy, then using barbecue to paralyze the enemy again—such a sinister method...

He was also shocked to discover something.

"What a pity, even as an enemy, this kid is truly a talent..."

"I told you, true colorlessness and odorlessness doesn't mean it has no smell, it means it blends into the environment so that people won't suspect anything."

On the city wall, Li Mo raised an eyebrow at Huang Donglai.

Huang Donglai fell into deep thought and also felt that what Brother Li said made sense.

His poison theory needs some improvement.

All his stock, plus the dozens of boxes of Muscle-Softening Powder that Brother Li bought, were used up in this one go.

"Commander Qu, what follows is a tough battle."

Li Mo turned around solemnly and said.

"..."

The soldiers wiped the sweat from their brows.

"Young Hero Li has done enough."

Qu Sheng gripped the hilt of his sword, intending to take a deep breath, but held back and shouted:

"Soldiers, the enemy has fallen for Young Hero Li's brilliant plan!"

"My comrades, Greenwood City lies behind us. The Witch Barbarians cruel; once the city falls, they will massacre Greenwood City inhabitants, leaving no one alive. We have only one path: to hold out until the Prince arrives to our aid."

"Years ago, the Prince fought alongside us, which is why Greenwood City exists today. Now that both Young Hero Li and Cold Fairy are here, do you have confidence?"

The soldiers inside the city walls immediately erupted in a thunderous roar.

Below the city walls.

This final stretch of time was finally Muscle-Softening Powder.

Ugh--

A mighty horn sounded, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

After a period of chaos, the enemy troops in the rear, who were not significantly affected, took over the task of siege assault, with large numbers of battering rams and arrow towers pressing towards the city.

Boom--Boom--Boom--

On the city wall, the Thunder Beast Skin Drum roared like thunder, as if the heart of this enormous city was pounding violently.

The sound of bowstrings being plucked was incessant.

The powerful crossbow bolts, imbued with the Internal Breath of elite crossbowmen, transformed into a fierce gale with astonishing penetrating power, capable of piercing even the enemy's rattan armor.

Archers at the Divine Observation Realm all exude Divine Intent behind them, and even Inner Scene experts must be wary of their sneak attacks.

The area below instantly transformed into a horrific inferno, with many enemy soldiers falling to the ground wounded by arrows and trampled into mincemeat by their own comrades.

In a short time, two thousand enemy soldiers died under the rain of arrows.

However, their cries of agony were drowned out by the deafening horns and the thunderous drums of the beasts.

It was their destiny that led them, along with those siege weapons heavy with killing intent and the War Witch Spirit Colossus, to slowly approach the city walls.

One second it was warm and fresh, the next it was crushed into mud.

This is war.

"Their role was to die, to use their lives to escort siege equipment and the colossus of the Witch Spirit closer to the city walls."

Qu Sheng, who was still organizing the defense against the enemy on the city wall, watched the huge black shadow gradually approaching.

However, his voice was also blurred by the sounds of battle.

"The Flying Calamity Beast is coming!"

Wu Lang roared.

This time, it wasn't scouts who came, but elite troops led by high-grade Calamity Beast.

Their bloodline power is so strong that a single head can scatter Square.

Once they are allowed to breach the city walls, they will disrupt the city's defenses, destroy the archers' formations and other defensive structures, and create opportunities for the enemy forces and siege equipment below to attack.

The next moment, a crackling bolt of lightning appeared.

"Use Array Pattern!"

The Array Stone on the wall, after being inlaid with Profound Crystal, shone with a dazzling light.

Instantly, the sky above Greenwood City was filled with scorching dark clouds, which were cut into golden Thunder Pool by the lightning serpent, forming a dense lightning net that sealed off the sky above the city.

Any Flying Calamity Beast crashes into the lightning net, even if it doesn't die, will be paralyzed and fall to the ground, where it will be hacked to death by the soldiers.

Tribulation-Resisting Array Pattern - Anti-Air!

"This Array Pattern consumes two Profound Crystal every time an incense stick burns."

Wu Lang couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

He would never forget this day. Young Hero Li pointed to the more than one hundred boxes of Profound Crystal and told him to use them as he pleased, but not to risk human lives unless absolutely necessary.

He's fucking handsome.

Wu Lang thought that if he were a girl, he would definitely want to marry Young Hero Li.

A few Flying Calamity Beast managed to break through the lightning net, but don't forget, Greenwood's side also has high-level experts who can fly, and Ice Block that can traverse the void.

Click--

A heavily wounded Sixth Grade Calamity Beast was pierced by the frost-laden Sword Qi.

He turned into an ice sculpture, crashed to the ground, and threw the attacking enemy army into chaos.

"Cold Fairy!"

The soldiers of the defending Greenwood Camp were greatly encouraged and their morale soared.

Flying Calamity Beast were once the nightmare of the soldiers of Greenwood City. They came and went like the wind, impossible to catch, yet impossible to ignore.

Now, that astonishing figure, amidst the lightning net, soaring through the heavens alongside the Inner Scene experts, is terrifying to the enemy, yet it gives them unparalleled confidence.

In the future, when we drink and brag, we'll say we were once comrades-in-arms with Cold Fairy.

Li Mo was hearing notification sounds almost every second.

But he didn't have a moment to look.

A tall bronze battering ram was approaching, ready to strike; its attack would be enough to shake the city walls.

The Rongyuan Military Crossbow had just been fired once and were now being cocked, while the Thunderfire Pill at this distance would blow up the city wall along with it.

Ugh--

A strong wind blew, and the huge hammer crashed down, emitting a shrill roar.

"Get out of the way!"

Li Mo rode his Somersault Cloud and burst out of the city wall.

His figure, in stark contrast to the mountain-like bronze chariot, was indistinguishable from the stones crushed by the pendulum.

However, the next moment, Glazed Golden Light emanated from his body.

Weak yet steadfast.

Clang--

The golden light is indestructible!

The immense force carried the figure as they crashed into the city wall.

He plowed two deep furrows in the ground.

Li Mo's back was already against the city wall, and he could even feel the wall trembling, finally stopping the momentum of the charging hammer.

Clang--

A loud bang.

He was swept up by the clouds and surged upwards, his forty feet exuding the Weapon Intent. He slammed into the mechanism's connection point, instantly causing the battering ram to crash to the ground. The bronze battering ram, having lost its balance, was thrown about like a mountain collapsing and a jade pillar falling.

"Young Hero Li is truly awe-inspiring!"

An even louder cheer erupted from the city walls.

The morale of the Greenwood City Square reached its peak.

" At the Divine Observation Realm, to withstand siege equipment with one's own body?"

The Hundred Beast Hall Master narrowed his eyes; such a physique was simply the best he had ever seen.

"That must be some kind of secret technique."

Han Zhen searched his mind and found that none of the secret techniques he knew matched it.

But what's more important right now is...

The soldiers of Greenwood City were in high spirits and full of fighting spirit because of the presence of Li Mo and Ying Bing.

On the other hand, their own Square had already fallen victim to the opponent's underhanded tactics, and now their momentum had been dampened, leaving them feeling rather dejected.

"This boy must be killed first."

Han Zhen looked at Helian Wu beside him.

The latter grinned, revealing a row of gleaming white teeth.

"I've been wanting to test the mettle of the current geniuses of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"

He had been restless for a long time, and with a slap on his Scaled Horned Warhorse, he led his warriors out in a charge.

Behind him Calamity Beast Witch Spirit Avatar.

At this very moment, one by one, the bronze statues were connected and possessed.

These War Colossus may not be as powerful as their physical forms, but they are fearless of damage even when traversing the battlefield. Each one can unleash power ranging from the Sixth Grade to the fifth rank according to its own faith power.

In an instant, the battle roar of vibrating metal shattered the clamor of the battlefield.

Upon hearing the battle cry, the soldiers' eyes turned red and their strength increased dramatically.

"Kill! Die..."

Han Zhen muttered to himself, his right hand opening his mouth, silently devouring the increasingly dense Blood Qi.

City wall.

"We've finally finished the appetizers."

Qu Sheng's expression grew increasingly solemn.

The Colossus of the Witch Spirit.

This was one of the most powerful war tactics the Great Shang used to suppress all sides of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. It was once driven by the national fortune that gathered the Power of All Living Beings, and a single person could move mountains and overturn seas.

Although the Great Shang Kingdom have declined, it should not be underestimated.

"Rongyuan Military Crossbow!"

With a command given.

One after another, terrifying weapons were pushed out and placed on the front line of the city wall, their cold, menacing maws pointing directly downwards.

Boom--

The sound of Rongyuan Military Crossbow was like muffled thunder, a roar of death.

When you hear the sound of crossbow bolts, you may already be dead.

The crossbow bolts were aimed at those Sixth Grade and even fifth-rank Calamity Beast.

Thunderfire Pill was also strapped to an ordinary heavy crossbow and fired, heading straight for the bronze giants.

The fierce battle has now entered its most brutal and intense phase.

After sacrificing a third of the bronze colossi and countless Calamity Beast lying in ruins.

"Break through Greenwood Pool, and we'll no longer have to cower in this desolate and treacherous place!"

"Take back everything we have!"

Despite paying a heavy price, the attacking Square finally achieved its tactical objectives.

The two sides clashed in close combat.

The Calamity Beast and the warriors of the Southern Border Tribes, using the cloud towers they had pushed down to the city walls, surged onto the city walls like a tidal wave of hungry wolves.

The bronze colossal statue of the Witch Spirit condenses into numerous divine totems. Not only is it powerful in combat, but it also seems to imbue every soldier who believes in it with a power similar to Divine Intent of Divine Observation.

"Form ranks!"

The command of General Qu Sheng's Qu Sheng handed over to Cold Fairy, whose mental strength and talent far surpassed his own.

Ying Bing was on the city tower in the center of the city wall, directing the various military formations.

The various battalions of the Greenwood Army quickly formed battle formations, relying on the power of the Tribulation-Resisting Array Pattern on the city walls to continuously clash with them.

In this level of collision.

Even the domain of Inner Scene expert cannot be maintained; it will be shattered by the shockwave.

The powerful Inner Scene could only unleash their domains abruptly, reaping lives once before quickly withdrawing and retreating.

Or perhaps, with the support of military formations, they engage in one-on-one battles.

Qu Sheng clashed with the Hundred Beast Hall Master.

"Li Mo!"

Helian Wu swooped down like an Azure Eagle, his eyes fixed on the boy who was empowered by the military formation.

"What the hell are you looking at?"

"Looking for a hammer?"

A glint of Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye light flashed in Li Mo's eyes.

The Mystic Weapon in his palm emitted a clear, resonant hum, indicating that it had been pushed to its limit.

Evening.

The north wind howled like a knife, yet it could not dispel the stench of blood on the city walls.

With the world's power being mobilized to activate the Seven Settling the Universe of Heaven and Earth, a former prodigy on the Hidden Dragon Ranking was left forever on the city wall.

On the city wall, many people stood in silence as soldiers cleared away the wreckage and corpses.

Li Mo sat on the city wall.

His whole body ached, and his Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye stared into the distance; his ominous premonition was not wrong.

Han Zhen didn't care how many people died.

They didn't even care which side died.

Tomorrow's attack will only be more intense.

"The First Battalion suffered 201 dead and 200 seriously wounded."

"The Second Battalion suffered 180 dead and 230 seriously wounded."

"Half of the Thunderfire Pill remain, and seven of Rongyuan Military Crossbow have been destroyed..."

Behind him, his personal guards were reporting military intelligence to Qu Sheng.

Li Mo's heart sank slightly; tomorrow's battle would be even more difficult.

"Shall we go get something to eat?"

A clear, yet somewhat weary voice rang in his ears.

Ying Bing was still wearing that fairy dress, and she walked over while retying her black hair.

I don't feel like eating anymore.

As his numb nerves gradually returned to normal, Li Mo felt a churning in his stomach.

"Obedient."

Ying Bing reached out and gently tapped his brow.

Even though his Will Soul were exhausted and he couldn't summon the Taiyin Clear Radiance, he felt as if he were being illuminated by the tranquil moonlight.
