On the rooftop of a building in Juxia City, Lena had just shaken off the Taotie pursuing her.
Standing on the rooftop, she used her black armor's Dark Communication to direct Ge Xiaolun and the others!
"Caitlyn, quickly find a concealed sniping position and support your teammates so we can take down the enemy fast."
"Jiawen and Liu Chuang, you're the ground assault units. Zhaoxin, you're fast, so be ready to provide support at any time."
"Ge Xiaolun, you're pretty tanky, so stick with Qiangwei and be ready to take hits for her."
"Monkey Brother's our aerial unit, so we don't need to worry about the skies."
"Understood! Understood," Ge Xiaolun, Jiawen, Zhaoxin, Caitlyn, and Qiangwei replied.
"Begin the operation," Lena ordered. After receiving the order, Monkey Brother swiftly leaped into the sky and swung the Golden Cudgel at the Taotie's large warship. The cudgel instantly grew longer and larger in the wind.
He brought it crashing down hard on the Taotie Legion's warship. In an instant, an energy shield appeared around the vessel, blocking Monkey Brother's strike.
Monkey Brother wasn't annoyed by what he saw. He faced the shield before him.
Gathering all his strength, he brought the cudgel down hard once more. This time, the Taotie clearly couldn't withstand it. The immense force tore the entire warship apart in an instant.
The ground forces watched Monkey Brother strike twice from the sky.
He had smashed in half the warship they'd thought impossible to defeat. Their morale surged, and they fought with even greater vigor.
Meanwhile, Ge Xiaolun's group had also been cornered by several Taotie. Qiangwei was working hard to crack the enemy's shield. Fortunately, Caitlyn's timely sniping from the rooftop took out several Taotie and helped Ge Xiaolun. But another Taotie in exoskeletal armor immediately came dropping out of the sky. Caitlyn's sniping support had revealed her position, and an enemy sniper had her in their sights.
Caitlyn exchanged fire with the enemy sniper, leaving her no time to help Ge Xiaolun.
Ge Xiaolun faced the Taotie before him, gripped his oversized sword, and charged without hesitation. He rushed forward, swung the giant blade, leaped, and brought it down in a vertical slash.
He struck the Taotie hard, but its exoskeletal armor kept it from taking much damage. In fact, the Shikigami martial weapon mounted on the Taotie posed a huge threat to Ge Xiaolun and could inflict serious damage.
Seeing this, Ge Xiaolun tried to attack again and finish off the Taotie. But as he charged in, the Taotie didn't panic. It sidestepped Ge Xiaolun's attack and immediately countered.
Ge Xiaolun and the Taotie in exoskeletal armor fought a fierce battle.
Throughout the fight, Ge Xiaolun was thoroughly beaten by the Taotie, getting slammed around and ground into the dirt.
But Ge Xiaolun refused to give in. "Your old man's tough as nails!"
"Oh, really?" The Taotie saw how stubborn Ge Xiaolun was.
It walked over and planted a foot on Ge Xiaolun. Raising the Sword of Flames, it plunged the blade toward his abdomen!
With a sharp shing, the Sword of Flames pierced straight into Ge Xiaolun's body without resistance.
His body, nearly as tough as a Divine Body, might as well have been made of paper. It was easily destroyed.
Liu Chuang, rushing over from a distance to help, saw Ge Xiaolun pierced through. The Taotie had even grabbed him by the neck and lifted him into the air.
Ge Xiaolun was on the verge of dying. Though he and Liu Chuang usually didn't get along, they were still teammates.
Seeing Ge Xiaolun in such a terrible state, Liu Chuang was furious. Ge Xiaolun saw him coming to help.
In a sudden burst of determination, he drove the Sword of Flames, which had been stabbed into his body, all the way through himself.
Then he tore the Sword of Flames free. Liu Chuang, still running, leaped toward the Taotie. The Taotie realized what was happening, but it was already too late. Midair, Liu Chuang gripped his giant axe and brought it down, cleaving the Taotie in two.
