In this spiritual world, Balian cannot see his physical existence, and his vision seems to come from the sky.
The city was ablaze with war, black beacon smoke was billowing, and the city was constantly echoing with the solemn and desolate sound of trumpets.
In the continuous snow-capped mountains outside the city, in the dim skylight, there was no white clothes.
The darkness covering the pale snow surface was like a torrent, like tentacles, sweeping away all the living creatures and vegetation in the mountains.
Balian was speechless and unable to control his non-existent body.
But he could clearly feel the distorted and scorching heat in the air, as well as the almost terrifying high temperature. The air on the horizon was obviously distorted.
From a macro perspective, the darkness sweeping across the world was like a torrent, and it was actually very similar to the scene where the Heavenly Holy Sword Mountain descended on the eve of his entry into this spiritual world.
The only difference is that this snowy silver city, which has been covered with snow all year round, is now as if it is in a volcanic zone, with the smell of burning charcoal everywhere.
Under the microscopic view, Balian saw that the dark current rushing like sea water was actually composed of mecha puppets.
They are like a huge ocean tide formed by tiny water droplets, endless.
Even though Bailian had experienced the witch plague, he had never seen such a large number of mecha puppets in Shifang City.
Looking around, there is no trace of blood in the snow-capped mountains that stretch for thousands of miles.
The army of puppets is like a surging ocean, submerging all obstacles and constantly swallowing forward.
Bai Lian has never seen the rolling mountains controlled by Shifang City turn into a battlefield, and then turn into a stunning scenery like being in the wilderness and dust.
Those steel puppet armies spread in all directions like locusts.
Such a shocking number made Balian couldn't help but suspect that this number could almost be compared with the huge race of humans.
And these continuous snow-capped mountains have become the last line of defense to lock down these puppet armies.
He could see the high walls of Shifang City that were closed on all sides, spattered with pieces of flesh and blood.
There were soldiers in the city arrayed in all directions, wearing golden armor and holding heavy talismans.
The talisman in his hand continuously erupted with terrifying fireworks energy, setting off a yellow sandstorm under the city that was stirred up by the energy.
The flame talisman wrapped with powerful talismans vented the desperate anger of the talisman cultivators in the city. Under the city, there was a vast ocean of steel with no end in sight.
Although the power of the mysterious fire talisman is huge, it cannot withstand the huge number of mecha puppets under the city.
The ten-direction restrictive barrier in the city was fully opened, and a high degree of alert was raised.
What's even more frightening is that the mecha puppets attacking the city include not only the army, but also the air force.
In Bai Lian's impression, Shifang City, as a rich and majestic city in the world and known as the ancient city that never sleeps, is seen from the perspective of the outside at this moment.
Although the densely populated cities still tower into the clouds like giant fingers.
But there were very few lights in the city, as if it was the darkness of the end of the world, and only a little bit of firelight could be seen vaguely.
Black smoke pillars continued to rise from the city on the outer edge, like black crow feathers of death stuck in the sky and earth of the city.
In an almost crushing attack style, the thirty-six capitals outside Shifang City were like trampled and conquered rice fields.
The city wall, as tall as Kuafu's body, was crushed and collapsed by the passing of the steel army.
Under this horrific fighting war, the talisman cultivators guarding the city wall didn't even have time to replace the talismans that had exhausted their spiritual power. Their bodies were mercilessly crushed into mud by the steel army.
Only then did Balian realize that in this dark war, it was not night, but day.
It's just that the war was too cruel. The scorching sun was obscured by the smoke of the battlefield, and it was difficult for the sky to reach the earth. The blazing high temperature emitted on the battlefield did not originate from the scorching sun behind the smoke of the gunpowder.
But when the city was destroyed, the talisman cultivators of Shifang City who had no way to retreat fought desperately, even using their own spiritual roots to refine the talisman, turning it into a red explosive talisman with extremely terrifying energy that blended with their own flesh and blood.
The human monks used their flesh and blood to carry spiritual talismans with astonishing destructive power, roaring and roaring into the army like straight lines connected back and forth.
Regard death as home!
The red explosive talisman was under the control of spiritual power. Although it had been ignited, it did not directly explode the terrifying talisman power.
Instead, the bodies of the Talisman Cultivators were burned into flames. During the process of running away, the mecha puppets surrounding them from all directions were unable to stop them.
Once they get involved, even though the bodies of those mecha puppets are made of Xuanjing iron, they will be burned to the point of being turned into molten iron.
The red explosive talisman transformed into a human body whizzed across the battlefield until it reached the depths of the steel-like army, ensuring that his sacrifice could take away more out-of-control mecha puppets.
Only then did the terrifying flame talisman ignite.
The heat wave of the explosion spread out a huge mushroom cloud on the ground.
In that burning mushroom cloud wrapped in black smoke, the corpses of the talisman cultivators turned into a rain of hot blood, with metal fragments mixed with the puppet structure flying in all directions.
The flying fragments hit the other mecha puppets like rough and hot stones, leaving deep and terrifying marks.
In the blasting storm, the high temperature emitted was shocking. From a distance, each explosion of the red explosive talisman was severely torturing the minds of the survivors.
The sound of explosions sounded in the city.
And the black mass of overturned mecha army was like a wave from behind pushing against a wave in front. When the tide came over, it crushed and flattened the metal fragments of the mecha companions together with the remaining human flesh and blood.
Looking at the scene in front of him, even Balian could not help but be moved and shocked.
Is this the memory of ninety-nine?
When did Shifang City experience such a disaster?
Why has the world never heard of rumors of this battle?
Such a magnificent war has never been known to the outside world?
Although the battle was brutal, there were countless victims.
Bai Lian even discovered that even those talisman cultivators who struggled to guard the outer city of Shifang had profound talisman skills and exquisite cultivation.
He was actually more sophisticated and experienced than the monks he saw in Shifang City that day.
However, such a person is only used to guard the outer city and is used as cannon fodder.
That desperate spirit of risking one's life is like the legacy of Shifang City's forefather Snow Girl.
It was different from what happened when the True Ancestor Evil God came. The monks up and down in Shifang City were wailing and complaining, when the disaster came.
Other than waiting with fear for the death knife to fall, I didn't know what to do and was at a loss.
Despite the almost crushing casualties, none of these talisman cultivators in the city lost their fighting spirit.
Even though there is no commander commanding the troops in the outer city, these talisman cultivators have a silent and powerful tacit understanding.
While one after another went to die, they retreated and protected the ordinary Baixin and the young disciples in the outer city into the four main cities of Shifang City.
Unfortunately, manpower is limited.
The people of Shifang City are numerous and rich. Fu Xiu used self-sacrifice, but he could only escort half of the Baixin disciples in the city to the main city to reduce casualties as much as possible.
Bailian saw his second brother Fang Chi, who bore the name of Fang You, and his elder brother guarding the tower of Tianquan City, the first of the four major cities.
Watching all this with deep eyes.
The thirty-six cities in the outer city are falling and disintegrating at an incredible speed. Many years of hard work have been destroyed in one fell swoop.
There were countless casualties among the people and monks in the city.
The veins in his clenched fist that he rested on the railing were bulging, and his eyes were gloomy as he said, "I know that Fang Qingran must not be asked to point at the witch plague technique."
Fang You still had his head lowered and his eyes could not be seen clearly: "If you weren't so big-hearted, you would have millions of soldiers hidden under the mountains of this vast land.
If you had not trusted Fang Qing too much and entrusted him with the important task of guarding the soldiers, how could you have given him such an opportunity to bite us back?"
Fang Chi looked back and gave him a cold look: "I am the key to unlocking the millions of soldiers and puppets. If you hadn't privately taught him the art of witch plague, how could we have fallen into such a passive situation."
Fang You said calmly: "His problem has always been that we did not treat him as one of our own. We are connected by blood and are brothers. You and I have mastered the art of mecha and talismans.
He is the only one who has no power to get involved in anything big or small in the city. Since he wants to understand the Witch Plague, I have no reason to refuse."
Fang Chi gritted his teeth bitterly: "The hearts of the three of us brothers are all tied to one person, Xue Fu. Fang You, I know the evil thoughts in your heart. What you and I are obsessed with is the love that we can't get."
But Fang Qing is different from us, his persistence is closer to reality, and he doesn't have any feelings for Xuefu between men and women.
His almost pathological obsession with her only stems from her powerful strength and mecha technology that he has never seen before.
What he longs for is to get everything Xuefu has. He is obsessed with mecha skills, but he is born in this way and has no talent at all. This is the real scary thing."
"Do you think that, among the three of us brothers, I only gave you the power in the city to exclude him? Fang You, let me tell you, you are too naive!"
“When a person strongly and persistently wants to have something, he is doomed to not have the slightest chance of getting what he desires.
Then this persistence will turn into a devil that devours everything and does whatever it takes!"
"Fang Qing is using his own way to prove to all of us, even if it means using any means.
He also wants to gain the power to stand side by side with Xue Fu and create a puppet with an independent soul consciousness."
Fang You glanced at the steel army under the city and sneered:
"What kind of independent soul consciousness is this? They are just a group of deformed monsters born from the witch plague."
Although this monster transcends the scope of a doll and has a soul of its own, it definitely does not have independent consciousness.
At the end of the day, it’s just about following orders from others and taking action.
Fang Chi asked: "Have you reported this to Xuefu?"
Fang You replied: "Xuefu is in seclusion, no one is seen, and there are huge changes in the city, so she cannot be alarmed."
Fang Chi sneered: "It seems that Fang Qing is well prepared."
In fact, Fang Chi and Fang You knew very well that they did not come prepared, but were driven crazy by the excitement.
Xue Fu's mecha skills are unparalleled in the world, and even the Demon Sect's puppet technique was simplified and evolved by borrowing from her mecha skills.
It's just that whether they are dolls or puppets, they are cold empty shells without any soul.
Although there have been rumors for a long time that with Xuefu's technology, he can have the power to create a human being with a power comparable to that of Nuwa, and can create a unique puppet with soul consciousness.
But rumors are just rumors after all.
It is rare for people in the world to see her refining puppets with her own hands. Even the mecha puppets in Shifang City were learned and refined by the Fu cultivators in the city based on Xue Fu's notebooks.
Until the day of the Waking of Insects this year, Xuefu came out of seclusion in the Osmanthus Forest in Xicheng for several months and brought back two dolls, 'Yinghuo', whose appearance, temperament and aura were nothing like hers.
The world is astonished.
Especially Fang Qing, who has been obsessed with Xue Fu's mecha skills for so many years. After seeing the birth of the puppet 'Ying Huo', the seeds of madness in his heart finally grew uncontrollably.
The snow could only last for three days in seclusion, but he single-handedly set off such a storm that destroyed the city.
Fang You remained calm as ever and glanced at the young man sitting high on the golden armored chariot amid the smoke and flames of war.
"Come on, come on, he hasn't mastered the witch plague skills he has learned yet. He needs to use himself as the witch eye to control these millions of heroes. How long can he last as a mere mortal?"
Fang Chi narrowed his eyes and said: "If I guess correctly, he wants to rush directly into Tianquan City and take the Six Paths Talisman to alleviate the corruption of his body.
If he succeeds in obtaining the talisman, do you think it will just be a small fight?"
Fang You squinted at him: "Aren't you the best at defending the city? Why are you so unsure of yourself today?"
"Fang You!" Fang Chi finally couldn't hold back his emotions anymore and yelled in a violent voice: "Don't think that I don't know what the hell you have in mind!
If you like Xuefu, you can pursue her openly! Don't blame others because of your cowardice and disability?
You really want me to die so that you can stay by her side alone, right?!"
"You are thinking too much. No matter how much I hope you die, I cannot risk the lives of the innocent people and disciples in the city."
Fang You looked deeply at his younger brother: "What happens between you and me is not something that will anger other people."
I don’t know if Fang Chixin believes this, but he is a very thoughtful person, and he knows that at such a critical moment, it will not do him any good to break up with Fang You.
Fang Chi's violently heaving chest was forced to calm down due to his anger.
"Defend the city? That's easy to say. This is an army of millions. How do you think we should defend it?"
The monks in Shifang City are not good at fighting, and their most important combat power comes from the mecha puppets.
And with the powerful contagiousness of the Witch Plague, sending out mecha puppets at this moment is tantamount to increasing the opponent's combat power.
