Sowing Beans to Raise an Army
"Aww~!"
A long howl shook the mountains, followed by a large number of figures in dark blue robes sweeping out.
"A fourth-tier spirit beast, the Azure-eyed Wolf!" a cultivator exclaimed.
Tens of thousands of Azure-eyed Wolf charged toward the human army with overwhelming force, and in the blink of an eye, the two sides collided.
"Bang!"
The massive Tackle halted the steadily advancing human army, bringing them to a standstill. Furthermore, the Azure-eyed Wolf, charging forward with ferocious momentum and immense force, added extra power, creating considerable obstacles for the army.
The Azure-eyed Wolf is a fourth-tier spirit beast, and its combat power is definitely not comparable to those spirit beasts below the third tier. If it weren't for the secret technique that amplifies its combat power, the first attack of tens of thousands of Azure-eyed Wolves would have been enough to break through the army's formation.
"This secret technique is truly powerful; it can even withstand the impact of a fourth-tier spirit beast." The cultivators who had been watching couldn't help but admire it upon seeing this scene.
"After all, it's a secret technique I comprehended in the Mysterious Bookstore, so it's naturally no ordinary item."
"However, judging from this, the secret technique can only withstand the impact of a fourth-tier spirit beast at most. If a fifth-tier spirit beast appears..."
"Roar!" Before the cultivator could finish speaking, another roar came from within the Nine Heavens Mountain, followed by tens of thousands of strangely shaped spirit beasts rushing out.
"My God... they're all fifth-tier spirit beasts!" Everyone stared in shock at this scene.
Spirit beasts of the fifth rank are a force to be reckoned with, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even cultivators at the Spirit Ancestor Sect realm must take them seriously. Moreover, there are numerous fifth-rank spirit beasts before us. Our army of over 200,000 has already suffered heavy losses in the previous waves of attacks, and now, facing them again, we are basically powerless to resist.
"Bang!"
Tens of thousands of fifth-tier spirit beasts charged directly at the enemy, instantly routing the army and breaking through their formation. Even the secret techniques that amplified their combat power were useless.
"Shopkeeper, it's no use. Their strength simply can't withstand any more power amplification." Luan Feng arrived beside Ma Feifei on auspicious clouds, her tone somewhat heavy.
Ma Feifei frowned as he watched the battle raging ahead. If things continued this way, the remaining army would likely be torn apart by the fifth-tier spirit beasts in just a few minutes. Without the army's resistance, Dubian Town would truly be like a naked woman, completely at the mercy of the beasts.
"Shopkeeper, why don't we send the Luanfeng Army?" Luan Feng clearly didn't want the spirit beast army to break through Dubian Town either. Although she wasn't from the Chu Kingdom, she still sided with humans when it came to the difference between humans and spirit beasts.
Ma Feifei pondered for a moment, and was about to nod when his eyes suddenly lit up. He remembered something, and without saying a word to Luan Feng, he flew directly towards the Zhenbei outskirts of the town.
Upon seeing this, Luan Feng hurriedly followed.
Thirty miles north of the Zhenbei, Ma Feifei stood in the air. At this moment, the human army had been crushed by the spirit beast army and was constantly retreating. If they retreated any further, they would soon be back at the Pokémon competition arena.
"What is the shopkeeper trying to do?" Ma Feifei's appearance also attracted the attention of many cultivators, who all looked at Ma Feifei with puzzled expressions.
"Could it be that the shopkeeper will personally suppress these spirit beasts?" a cultivator asked doubtfully. In everyone's eyes, Ma Feifei's current strength was no different from that of an immortal. If Ma Feifei were to take action, he would definitely be able to eliminate these tens of thousands of fifth-tier spirit beasts.
"Probably, after all, they're about to break into the Mysterious Daochang. The Mysterious Daochang is the shop owner's private territory, and he certainly won't let these spirit beasts destroy it," a cultivator Analytic. Ever since Li Shulin appeared out of nowhere, the road from Zhenbei to the Pokémon competition venue has automatically been designated as the property of the Mysterious Bookstore, because you can't deny it, the divine-level formation has made it crystal clear for you.
"These spirit beasts can destroy Mysterious Daochang with a divine-level formation? Impossible." A cultivator shook his head. A divine-level formation is not something that can be destroyed by sheer numbers; it's a true qualitative change, and mortals cannot break it.
"Look!" During the discussion, a cultivator pointed ahead and shouted. Everyone looked up and saw the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore surrounded by purple light. He sprinkled the purple energy downwards, and it turned into countless drops, falling down like rain.
"Bang bang bang"
With a series of crisp sounds, the purple raindrops transformed into countless soldiers clad in purple armor, wielding greatswords and shields. As far as the eye could see, it was a vast expanse of purple.
"My God! What is this?" Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene, bewildered by the purple army that had appeared out of nowhere.
"This must be an illusion!" a cultivator said in disbelief. He couldn't count how many purple figures were in front of him, but in terms of numbers, they were definitely no fewer than the spirit beasts opposite him.
"I think so..." another cultivator whispered in agreement. No one could believe that the purple army in front of them was real, but what happened next was a slap in the face to them.
"Luan Feng, boost our combat power." In mid-air, Ma Feifei solemnly commanded.
Luan Feng nodded, and golden light flashed across her body. Waves of golden light fell downwards, covering the entire purple legion.
"Ha!" The purple legion, empowered by the secret technique, unleashed a powerful aura and began to advance towards the spirit beast army that had already broken through the defensive lines. Their advance was perfectly orderly, like a battle-hardened army. They showed no emotional fluctuations, or even any expression, in the face of the ferocious spirit beasts.
"Roar!"
The newly emerged army of spirit beasts covered the entire mountainside. There were low-level spirit beasts still alive, fourth-level spirit beasts Azure-eyed Wolf, and countless fifth-level spirit beasts. They roared and howled in unison as they charged towards the purple army, their beast faces contorted in ferocity.
"Bang!"
The two collided with a deafening roar. To everyone's astonishment, all the attacking spirit beasts were thrown into the air, their broken wings Shed Tail flying everywhere. In contrast, the purple legion did not retreat an inch, but slowly advanced with their shields raised high, mercilessly reaping the lives of the spirit beasts with their greatswords.
The purple legion swiftly and decisively reaped the spirit beasts, resulting in a one-sided victory for the entire army.
"It's actually true!" The cultivators who witnessed this scene were so surprised that their faces were expressionless, only their voices were filled with amazement.
"Supernatural power! It's definitely supernatural power!" a cultivator suddenly blurted out, his face full of excitement.
Upon hearing this, everyone instantly recalled Ma Feifei's "Purple Qi Turns into Rain" move and suddenly realized what was going on!
"There are thousands of Divine Abilities and Spells sold in the Wantong Trading Market, but I've never heard of a supernatural power that can conjure so many soldiers!" a cultivator asked in bewilderment.
Since the Mysterious Bookstore started selling Divine Abilities and Spells in large quantities, all the Divine Abilities and Spells that were being sold have been recorded by everyone, and the effects of each supernatural power Analytic one by one. However, Divine Abilities and Spells effects like this have never been heard of on the market.
"How could the shopkeeper possibly sell all his Divine Abilities and Spells? It's normal that there are some that we don't know about," another cultivator said.
"That makes sense," the cultivator nodded in agreement.
"Hey? Look, isn't there an orange light over there?" a cultivator said, pointing to a fallen fifth-tier spirit beast.
Everyone looked over and noticed that a horn on the spirit beast's forehead was emitting a faint orange light, sparkling brightly, which stood out especially against its dark skin.
"Orange Fragment!"
