Chapter 938: Entering the Borderlands and Clearing the Wilderness (Part 2)
Chapter 938 Marching into the Border to Clear the Wilderness (Part 2)
But even if the alchemy rooms, weapon refining halls, and alchemy workshops in the city can stop working and come to support, the city defense formation still needs to be maintained by cultivators. Besides, the combat capabilities of those cultivators who focus on life skills are also very worrying. Instead of risking
Rather than fighting head-on, it is better to refine more elixirs and weapons that can provide greater help to the soldiers and civilians.
Those who can truly contain and kill the flying demons are the few and powerful cultivators. They are responsible for flying to fight the demons and stop the demons from running around. The archers assist them in killing the nearby demons so that they will not be destroyed.
Besieged and trapped, when the strong ones among the flying demons and the demon insect leaders are killed, the remaining flying demons and demon insects will disperse in a rush.
But this kind of close-range fighting is extremely dangerous for archers whose defenses are relatively fragile. Even if there are armored soldiers guarding them, the demons are very cunning and insidious. In every battle, there will always be some bows and arrows aimed at the target in the sky.
The hand was attacked and killed by a demon hiding in the dark.
But the defenders have no choice. Although this will cause certain casualties to their own side, this is a cruel battlefield. In this kind of place where people die every moment, when the defender is not strong enough, it is necessary to make sacrifices in order to win.
It's inevitable.
After many years of war, not only the archers suffered heavy casualties, but even the cultivators had no time to fully recover. Although no one had been killed yet, they had suffered many injuries and their energy could not be fully restored. But years of brutal wars had long since destroyed this city.
The soldiers and civilians in the city are united and have a common military spirit. In order to protect the people behind them, they will never look back, even if they will sacrifice their lives in the next moment.
But this time it was different. Just as a few cultivators who looked tired but had strong energy led a large number of archers with resolute looks to rush to the position, a new wave of formation suddenly appeared in the city, and thousands of golden sword lights combined into a
The sword array descended from the sky and went straight into the group of monsters in the air, cutting and mincing the monsters like chopping melons and vegetables. Then it turned into golden spiritual power and dispersed into the array, adding a sharp edge to the entire array.
Afterwards, several sword cultivators wielding flying swords fell from the sky. They clasped their fists at the surprised cultivators and defenders of Zhangye City and said, "I am a disciple of Emei/Qingcheng/Kongtong, and I have been ordered to come to support the front line."
Flying with a sword is the second most powerful method of movement in the world of cultivation, second only to space movement. It took these sword cultivators a short time to cross thousands of miles and resist a border city, thus avoiding a tragic sacrifice. Sword cultivators belong to
The new force that had just arrived, but it was not enough to kill the monsters in the air, so they joined forces to activate the sword formation, picked up the sword skills and pointed in the direction of the demon army outside the city.
I saw that the sword array in the air was stimulated by magic power, and suddenly tens of thousands of sword lights were differentiated. The sword lights combined with each other, pulling the starlight and spiritual energy from the four directions, and turned into four giant swords of green, white, red and black. Each sword had its own sword.
The four phantoms of Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu entered the demon group before the demons could react.
The Four Symbols Sword Qi with the power of the Four Spirits of Heaven has its own demon-breaking properties. No matter it is a low-level demon or a monster, they are all vulnerable. Anyone who is passed by the sword Qi will be cut into pieces, even rough-skinned flesh.
Thick mid-level demons and human shield monsters were also easily penetrated by the sharp sword energy and seriously injured, and they only managed to survive by relying on their tenacious vitality.
Seeing that the siege troops were blocked, several roars of dissatisfaction came from the demonic camp. Then, four demon commanders with strong stature and strong aura waved their weapons and used magic to block the four-elephant giant sword.
They all rode a huge demon mount, and wore heavy armor that looked thick but was actually rough. At first glance, they looked like they were not direct descendants of the demon legion, but rather wild high-level demons that grew up in the vast wilderness around them.
Although the magic they cast is powerful, they are all magic-like spells such as "Chaos Slam", "Destroying Good Slash" and "Meteor Explosion" that have more destructive power but lack speed and precision. If they are facing each other one-on-one,
The lightning-like sword cultivators may not be able to hit once in ten times, but once the Four Elephant Giant Swords are formed, they cannot be dispersed, and they can only fight head-on.
With powerful attack power and weapon swings imbued with rich magic power, the demon commanders still scattered the four-image giant sword composed of loose sword light. However, the sword light storm that erupted after the giant sword was destroyed still targeted demons within a kilometer radius.
They caused heavy damage and made the demon commanders furious. However, faced with the fact that reinforcements from the human side had arrived, they did not dare to forcibly attack the city again and could only retreat bitterly.
When the Zhangye defenders saw the demons receding, they finally relaxed. Knowing that the battle to defend the city was successful, they sent soldiers to clean up the battlefield to prevent too many demon corpses from rotting and causing demonic pollution;
Invite several sword cultivators into the city.
In the subsequent exchanges between the two sides, the defenders also learned about the military order of the imperial court to launch a counterattack. Their mission was to cooperate with the powerful worshipers from all walks of life who came to support to clean up the wilderness demon groups and aggressive monsters. To this end,
You Longzi equipped them with specially made equipment - the demon-suppressing pile.
This is a magic weapon made by imitating part of the functions of the Demon God Pillar. It also refers to some magic weapon refining techniques. Because the effect is a bit strange, You Longzi specifically ordered them to activate it when there are no ordinary people around.
Don't let others be frightened into misunderstandings.
Following You Longzi's support, after settling the soldiers and civilians in the city, several sword cultivators, accompanied by the worshipers in the city, placed the demon-suppressing stakes shaped like black jade sun crowns on top of the city defense formation and started them immediately.
The activation of the demon-suppressing pile did not cause much movement. It was just wrapped in a burst of chaotic spiritual energy and integrated into the entire city defense formation. Then, under the erosion of the spiritual power of the formation, it changed from solid to virtual, and finally rose to the level of the formation.
The top turned into a huge jade pillar-like statue that was ten feet high.
The Dharma Appearance emits tiny circles of transparent mana ripples composed of countless talismans. The range spreads to a radius of thirty miles. It does not have much lethality. It just slowly sucks all the free magic power in the area into the Demon Subduer.
pile.
Moreover, due to the imitation of the Demonic Pillar mark, the magical aura emitted by the Demonic Pillar can also frighten middle and low-level demons, making them reluctant to approach.
These are passive abilities that can be activated spontaneously without a controller.
When faced with a war, the operator can also use mana to activate the active ability of the demon-suppressing pile, specifically stagnating the flow of magic power in the abyss within a certain range, and limiting the demons' spell casting and physical recovery.
And when the demon retreats, it can also activate the magic array attached to the ripples, stripping away the magic power and blood essence from the corpses of dead demons and monsters, causing them to spontaneously settle and decompose, turning them into scattered undead crystal nuclei, magic crystals and flesh and blood essence. These They are all good materials for refining weapons and alchemy. As long as you go out regularly to collect them, it can be regarded as a kind of waste utilization.
Of course, these demon-suppressing stakes are all improvised imitations after all. They will not be as powerful as the demon pillars. They can be used for defense and support, but they should never be used to confront the monster army head-on.
After Zhangye City's demon-suppressing piles were integrated into the city defense formation, an invisible spiritual light also rose from the formation and merged into the "Xuanhuang Skynet" covering the land of Kyushu.
