After an explosion, the light curtain hit by the purple electric light suddenly exploded into countless fragments.
At the same time, black energy surged in the black building, and densely packed tall figures emerged from it one after another. The more than forty figures headed by it were especially tall, and exuded a powerful aura of the heavenly realm.
"kill!"
Amidst the loud shouts that shook the earth, Shi Mu and the other thirty or so team captains burst into bursts of colorful light, rushing towards the black air like meteors.
Behind these people, nearly three hundred alliance disciples followed closely. The lights on their hands lit up one after another. All kinds of spiritual weapons and magic weapons were held in their hands, and they headed towards the black demon clan with electric sword energy.
.
As soon as Shi Mu landed, more than a dozen black figures quickly surrounded him, but they were some black demon clansmen wearing pitch black armor, holding pitch black scimitars and giant axes. As they swung, the demonic aura lingered and became menacing.
The leader was a burly man with dense magic patterns all over his body. As the magic patterns flashed around his body, he quickly grew a head and two arms. The two heads opened their mouths wide and sprayed out two black beams of light filled with evil energy.
, and struck towards Shi Mu.
A black light flashed in Shi Mu's hand, and the Ruyi iron rod appeared in a flash. He held it in his hand, and the fire on his body burst into flames. Three tongues of flame flew out and circled up the long rod, wrapping it up.
"call"
A sharp sound broke through the air, and a huge flaming stick swept out, directly destroying the two black light pillars wherever it passed.
Then there was a "bang" sound, and the black demon tribesman with two heads and four arms tried to resist with the magic weapon in his hand, but was blown away by a huge force.
Without stopping, Shi Mu rushed forward with his stick, rolling in mid-air. The blazing flames on his body and the stick were replaced by dense blue mist in the blink of an eye.
But I saw the long stick in his hand lifted up, and then suddenly hit the ground.
With a loud "boom", one end of the Ruyi iron rod hit the ground!
The blue light exploded, and circles of blue light patterns like water waves rippled towards the surroundings, directly covering the dozen or so Black Demon tribe members.
Those black demon tribesmen felt as if they were trapped in a swamp, their bodies became very sluggish, and even the demonic energy on their bodies could not move forward in the blue ripples.
At this moment, the black light on Shi Mu's right hand flashed and disappeared immediately.
The sound of "chila" came!
The dozen or so Black Demon clansmen were instantly wrapped in thick mist, and then their bodies completely stagnated and were frozen.
"Whoosh" and "whoosh" sounded several times, and the red light flashed!
More than ten red talismans were attached to the more than ten ice sculptures one by one, and they exploded with a flash of red light.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten members of the Black Demon Tribe turned into powder.
All this is a long story, but it only takes two or three breaths.
Shi Mu suddenly turned around and rushed towards another group of black demons not far away.
On the other side, the spiritual weapons in the hands of six or seven Qinglan Holy Land and Zhuyun Sword Sect disciples flashed with light, forming a dense defense line that blocked more than twenty black demons.
Behind these people, Guo Zhan's three fellow disciples were surrounded by lightning. The four of them jointly set up a large square formation of true thunder, controlling thick purple thunder and lightning, constantly harvesting the lives of the black demons.
These people are the Geng 465 squad led by Shi Mu!
Under the cover of a few people in the front row, the battle formation formed by Guo Shen and others can maximize their power.
At the same time, more than 300 earth-level warriors and moon-level sorcerers from the remaining 30 teams, led by their respective captains, fought with nearly a thousand black demons pouring out of the stronghold building.
For a time, the sounds of fighting and roaring could be heard.
Seemingly deliberately competing with Shi Mu, the bear slaughtered with extra force.
His whole body was wrapped in yellow light, and the powerful pressure of the late stage warriors was released. The ancient giant sword magic weapon in his hand moved up and down, like a dragon out of the sea, rampaging through the army of black demons, as if entering an uninhabited land.
.
Because Shi Mu and others suddenly launched an attack on this stronghold in the rear, they had the upper hand in terms of momentum and formation. Although their number was nearly half less than their opponents, for a while, they were evenly matched.
Shi Mu and others were not in a hurry. After all, according to the mission arrangement, their purpose was just to open up the battle and catch the opponent off guard. As soon as reinforcements arrived, they could retreat successfully.
However, the two sides fought for nearly a quarter of an hour, but reinforcements did not arrive as expected.
During this period, Shi Mu and others killed nearly 300 black demons, including seven or eight celestial demons, at the cost of more than fifty people being seriously injured or even killed.
The entire fragmented area of the continent was filled with rivers of blood and corpses littered the fields.
But after the initial chaos, the black demon clan, under the command of several late-stage demons, gradually stabilized their position and began to organize a counterattack.
Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, the situation began to gradually reverse.
After all, facing nearly a thousand strong black demons who were not afraid of death, it became increasingly difficult for Shi Mu and the remaining three hundred people to cope.
Around Shi Mu's team, there were now piles of corpses of the Black Demon clan, more than forty of them, but there were still more than thirty demons surrounding them.
Guo Shen and the other four people at the rear were still activating the True Thunder Formation from all directions, but all four of them looked pale. It was obvious that their mana had been greatly depleted, and the several disciples covering the front were also seriously injured.
The tactics they used were developed by Shi Mu during his battles with the black demons over the past ten years. They were able to deal with demons that were three or four times more numerous than themselves, and were invincible.
However, since most of the team members have been replaced now, the new members have a shorter running-in period, and the overall combat strength is not as good as before. If there are too many enemies, they will be overwhelmed.
Not far away, Shi Mu naturally discovered the predicament his team was facing, but he wanted to rush for help but was unable to escape, because around him, three Celestial Realm Black Demon Clan members surrounded him.
"ah!"
There was a scream, and among the people who were covering for Guo Shen and the other four, a disciple of the Zhuyun Sword Sect was accidentally hit by a beam of demonic energy. The spiritual weapon in his hand and the protective light curtain were eroded, and then he jumped out from the other side.
The two black devils pierced through the lower abdomen and chest and died on the spot.
Shi Mu's team's tactics can be said to be both offensive and defensive. Even so, the other teams are even worse.
For a time, shrill roars could be heard one after another in the field, and casualties on the Alliance side increased dramatically.
"The difference in our numbers is so great that we can hardly resist!"
"The fighting here has been going on for nearly half an hour. This is the territory of the Black Demon Clan. Once the opponent's reinforcements arrive, we will be dead!"
"It is said that strongholds No. 8 and No. 10 have been contained. The other party's reinforcements should not be able to dispatch reinforcements here in a short period of time."
"But what about our follow-up reinforcements? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
"Yes, where are the reinforcements?"
As the alliance's battle circle was constantly being compressed under the siege of the Black Demon Clan, doubts began to spread among the various teams.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
In the star field far away from the stronghold, a large black mist suddenly surged in, and among the silhouettes of people, dozens of powerful and frightening auras were revealed.
Shi Mu was suddenly startled and showed an expression of disbelief.
This is...reinforcement for the Black Demon Clan's No. 10 Stronghold?
The Black Demon Clan's reinforcements could arrive in such a short period of time, except for the nearest Stronghold No. 10. There is no other way.
"It's reinforcements from the Black Demon Clan!"
"Didn't it say that the two nearest strongholds will be blocked? How come there are reinforcements showing up?"
"Captain Shi, something seems to be wrong!" Guo Shen quickly sent a message to Shi Mu and asked.
"Don't panic yet, be on defense. There may be something wrong with the Alliance. I'll contact the Hidden Thorn Battleship to come over and take over." Shi Mu frowned slightly and said.
"Hey, our reinforcements are coming, it's time to counterattack! Charge me, don't let any of them escape!" A late-stage demon said loudly with a sinister laugh.
As soon as these words were spoken, the besieging black demon clan burst into roars, their demonic aura surged, and their offensive became even more fierce.
At the same time, Shi Mu wielded the long stick in his hand and fought with the two heavenly demons while trying to contact the "Hidden Thorn" battleship.
However, after a while, his expression became increasingly ugly.
For some reason, he tried to use his spiritual consciousness to contact Han Yi on the Hidden Thorn battleship, but found that he could not find him at all. If the other party had not deliberately hidden his traces, then he had already left this place and was far away from where his spiritual consciousness was.
The range that can be covered.
At the same time, the voices of those heavenly captains began to be heard from all around:
"What's going on? That kid Han Yi didn't respond at all!"
"Did you notice that enemy reinforcements were coming and run away in advance?"
"What should we do? Without battleships, we can't travel long distances in the star field!"
Shi Mu frowned slightly, feeling a vague foreboding in his heart.
At this moment, the golden token on his body suddenly lit up. He picked it up and saw a line of small words on it:
"Captains, listen to the order: The plan has changed. You must stick to stronghold No. 9. After other teams have taken stronghold No. 8 and No. 10, they will join you and others to annihilate the demons here. Military regulations are in place for those who evacuate without orders.
Dispose of it!"
After reading this, blue veins appeared faintly on Shi Mu's forehead, and anger suddenly welled up in his heart.
Is this a change of plan?
I'm afraid that Elder Mo planned to use them as bait from the beginning, to lure the black demons from No. 8 or No. 10 to No. 9, so that the Saint-level strongman could lead people to successfully capture the defensive void.
Those two strongholds, after all, from a strategic location point of view, the value of those two strongholds is greater than the No. 9 stronghold here.
"Mo Linyu, this old fox, let's sell him!" Not far away, Xiong Tu roared angrily.
"In the end, all we are waiting for may be reinforcements from the enemy!"
"The Alliance has considered us abandoned and ordered us to stay here and wait for reinforcements, but in fact they are just using us as bait to attract the Black Demons from No. 8 and No. 10 strongholds!"
The other captains also started yelling curses at this moment, obviously receiving the same instructions from the token.
The remaining two hundred or so team members also came to their senses at this moment, and their faces were as pale as earth.
