Clash of Spells
Seeing this, Lin Xu nodded slightly. Even without archers, they could use the terrain to their advantage to kill the enemy.
He refocused his attention on the battle before him, facing formidable enemies like the Manticore in the sky and the giant city lord at the foot of the mountain.
If it weren't for being in Azure Cloud Mountain and having the support of the Mountain Lord Authority, Lin Xu wouldn't even be qualified to be their enemy!
At the mountainside, with the charge of the dark warriors, the monsters finally reached their destination—a fortified fortress!
The dark warriors' powerful Dou Qi bombardment only shattered the outer layer of the city wall, leaving the monsters dumbfounded.
This was the first time they had encountered such a sturdy city wall. They hadn't even brought the simplest siege weapons, and could only watch helplessly as the solid rock face collapsed.
The Irascible Troll swung its chain mace, bombarding the city walls like cannonballs.
"Thump~"
Under the violent hammer blows, another layer of the rock wall cracked.
But that's all; it's still a long way from breaching the city wall.
Two heavily armored Half-Giant, carrying enchanted Warhammer, lingered beneath the city walls. These hulking figures, though seemingly brutes, possessed a shrewdness disproportionate to their size. Sensing that the dark warrior's attack was thwarted, their eyes gleamed beneath their heavy helmets, and they did not attempt to advance.
The Half-Giant then began commanding the monsters in battle. As loyal followers of the giant city lord, they were not only powerful individually, but also his assistants and commanders of the legion.
The defenders on the city wall wouldn't just stand by and watch. Although there were no archers, the guardians raised their Sharp Wind Flag.
The flag fluttered in the wind, its blue light surging like a tide. As the Sharp Wind Flag waved, dozens of blue wind blades roared out, tearing through the air like razor blades, shooting towards the charging monster horde!
"Buzz~"
A dark barrier suddenly rose in front of the monster horde, flowing endlessly like an inky curtain of water.
The wind blades collided with the barrier, exploding into swirling cyan-black vortexes and tearing open fine cracks.
Sharp shards of wind blades pierced through the cracks in the barrier, scattering and falling into the horde of monsters.
Screams rose and fell as several monsters were pierced through the torso by wind blades, their blood spurting like rain.
It's the Dark Mage Corps!
More than twenty dark mages stood behind the formation, working together to draw a profound dark rune array. Dark magic flowed, enveloping the entire monster group under the barrier.
Protected by the magical barrier, the wind blades released by the guardians did not cause greater damage, but seven or eight monsters were still pierced through by the broken wind blades and fell to the ground convulsing.
"Whoosh~"
With crimson bat wings unfurled, seven Vampire took to the air, hovering uncertainly above the city walls, poised to launch a surprise attack at any moment.
"Boom~"
A sudden burst of flame exploded above the wall, interrupting the Vampire's raid.
Instinctively avoiding the burning flames, the Vampire failed to notice that their flight paths converged in a certain area at that moment.
Ah~
With a scream, a Vampire that had been pacing around looking for an opportunity to strike suddenly found itself blinded and horrified to discover that an enemy was rushing towards it.
He instinctively swung his hand to retaliate, but then heard a familiar scream.
Before he could think, the opponent's claws struck, and he was immediately caught in a fierce battle.
According to Lin Xu's telepathic message, the vengeful spirits of the elite were hiding on the edge of the battlefield.
"Releasing it now!"
A stern command came to his ears; the master's master made the elite vengeful spirits dare not hesitate, and a pre-prepared illusion was quietly released.
The illusion was cleverly designed and timed precisely, landing at the exact intersection of the Vampire' flight paths.
Seeing the most threatening Vampire being pulled into the illusion and fighting each other, Lin Xu quietly withdrew his spiritual sense.
Unbeknownst to him, his covert influence saved the city's defenders from an air raid.
"Whoosh~"
The Dark Elf archers drew their bows to full length, their arrows whistling through the air, the eerie green arrows carrying corrosive poison, hurtling towards the city walls!
"Dharma Protector Corps!" Li Yingqiu urgently ordered.
"Phew~"
The guardian cultivators waved the Sharp Wind Flag, which surged with azure light. Gusts of wind howled and suddenly condensed into an invisible wall of energy in front of the city wall. The dark green arrows that fell into it were immediately swept away and scattered by the wall of energy.
The next instant, a gale howled, and dozens more wind blades shot out in reverse, heading straight for the Dark Elf formation!
Ah~
Several sharp screams rang out as three Dark Elf were pierced through the body by wind blades. Before their blood could even hit the ground, the remaining elves scattered like startled birds.
At this moment, the defending troops also encountered the enemy. Giant spiders, each as tall as a person, were climbing up the uneven wall towards the city wall.
The two-zhang-high rock wall could not stop the suction of the eight long legs. Their carapaces gleamed with a cold blue light, and their mouthparts opened and closed, spewing out foul-smelling spider silk as they charged towards the defenders on the city wall.
"Whoosh~"
Like venomous snakes spitting their tongues, streaks of red shot out. Just as the guardians launched their attack on the monster horde, the Red-Robed Ghosts did not stand idly by. They also fired out red streaks that swept towards the monsters in the underground city below.
As always, they worked together, the red threads of the Red-Robed Ghosts coiling like serpents, instantly binding the limbs of several wall-climbing spiders, and pulling them down with force.
The Dark Venomous Spider was violently dragged away from the wall, its carapace slamming against the rock face with a cracking sound; its legs twisted and broke, and its foul-smelling bodily fluids splattered like ink.
Several unfortunate spiders were dragged into the ranks of the defenders. The Fallen Demon rushed forward gleefully to beat the drowning spiders, their crescent blades flashing coldly as they chopped the struggling spiders into pieces.
"Boom~"
Fireballs the size of washbasins bombarded the city wall, the violent explosions shaking the entire stone wall.
It's Fire Salamander!
These reptiles, covered in crimson scales, were spewing flames below the city. These large lizards, with the blood of fire dragons, looked like enlarged velociraptors, over two meters tall, with sharp fangs and claws, and appeared extremely dangerous.
At this moment, the Fire Salamander unleashed their bloodline magic in an attempt to destroy the city wall, but apart from shattering a few pieces of stone and red-hot bricks, they did not cause any substantial damage.
Their keen combat instincts made the Fire Salamander abandon pointless waste of energy. They charged forward with agile strides, their hind legs pushing off the ground, propelling them into the air as they pounced on the city wall!
"Watch out!" Li Yingqiu dodged awkwardly, and as she turned to the side, she pointed her hunting bow and shot an arrow at the Fire Salamander.
"Ding~"
The arrow shot out a few sparks, silently grazing the lizard's scales and leaving a shallow scratch.
"Shuashuashua~"
Streaks of red light shot out and entangled the charging Fire Salamander.
But then scorching flames erupted, instantly burning the entangled red threads to ashes; the Fire Salamander leaped up, its sharp claws tearing through the air, heading straight for the Red-Robed Ghosts!
"Sizzle~"
The paper figure was torn apart, the scorching smell of burning flesh spreading out. The Wedding Procession Ghost hiding inside the paper figure screamed and fled, leaving several claw marks on its illusory body and spewing blue smoke.
"Rakanishu!" The Fallen Demon charged forward, brandishing their scimitars and slashing down fiercely at the Fire Salamander's body.
"Whoosh~"
The blade struck the crimson scales, sparking blinding flashes. The enchanted scimitar tore through the tough scales and flesh, leaving a deep gash.
Hot blood splattered, the Fire Salamander roared in pain, and its tail whip swept down like an iron rod, sending two Fallen Demon flying and crashing into the ramparts.
The Fire Salamander's eyes widened in fury, its scales on its back suddenly opened, and crimson flames poured out like a waterfall!
"Phew~"
Several Red-Robed Ghosts were instantly engulfed by the flames, their paper clothes burning to ashes, and wisps of smoke carrying the stench of burning rose into the air.
"Kill!"
A burst of yellow light erupted, like a thunderbolt striking down.
A Leopard Spirit dove atop the wall, its movements as swift as lightning, its sharp curved blade flashing like cold light as it sliced through the air, directly slashing at the Fire Salamander.
Just as the Fire Salamander finished Breath and was still catching its breath, a blade was already at its throat. A Leopard Spirit used its momentum to spin and slash, the blade flashing like a moon, red scales bursting open, and hot blood spurting from its neck.
The enormous head flew high into the air, flames erupting from the severed neck like a crimson fountain. The lizard's body stood still for a moment before crashing to the ground.
At this moment, a fierce battle had broken out on the city walls.
The two-zhang-high city wall could not stop the high-level monster horde. After the dark warriors repeatedly tried to break through the city wall with their Dark Battle Qi without success, they finally gave up and instead tried to command the monsters to build a flesh wall and climb up the city wall.
Meanwhile, the dark witches used their magic to nimbly scale the uneven walls and climb onto the city wall.
With the first wave of spiders and Fire Salamander Fire Drawing, these cunning witches quickly hid behind their own monsters as soon as they entered the city, calmly casting spells.
