At the beginning, the five Dharma-like gods showed great power, like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, blocking dozens of black sparks one by one.
Those stars also turned into flying ashes and scattered all over the ground, forming continuous black sand dunes between the two armies.
Unexpectedly, the power of these one hundred and eight black stars was far greater than the power of the stars of the "Tiangang Earth Demon Exterminator Array". The five Dharma-like Gods were not aware of it for a moment and were powerless, although they tried their best to stop it.
Nine times out of ten, there were still seven or eight stars that escaped the interception and smashed into the Great Earthquake formation.
The huge momentum of the black star hitting the ground crushed the soldiers directly into pulp. The incident happened so suddenly that they didn't even have time to scream.
However, this was not over yet. After hitting the earth, the black sparks broke into pieces and sputtered away in all directions.
The broken stones were like heavy hammers, directly smashing the skin and flesh of the surrounding soldiers, breaking their muscles and bones, and they lay on the ground whining.
Moreover, after the black flames fell on them, they actually penetrated into the soldiers' bodies, and soon the black fire swallowed up the souls of those people.
The death of these soldiers was strange and horrifying. Their clothes and armor showed no trace of burning, but their pupils turned into black ashes. When their bodies were shaken lightly, the black ashes flew away in the wind, leaving only two black men.
A dark void and an empty body that has lost its soul.
Seeing this, one of the mage accompanying the army shouted in a stern voice: "It's magic fire, magic fire. It's designed to burn souls. Everyone, please use the Three Yuan True Water."
Hearing this, the mage accompanying the army took out the three-yuan true water they carried with them one by one, and cast a spell to introduce it. The soldiers who were ignited by the black magic fire protected their souls and extinguished the magic fire. However, there were still many soldiers who were not treated in time.
And his soul was scattered.
For a time, the battlefield was littered with corpses and blood flowed into rivers. The military formations in front of the earthquake were completely destroyed and were severely maimed and destroyed.
Seeing this hell-like tragic situation, suffering repeated attacks and setbacks, the confidence of Daomen and Sergeant Da Zhen, who had always been proud and did not take the demons and barbarians seriously at all, was deeply affected. Everyone was full of doubts and confusion.
It was only then that they realized that this group of monsters was no longer the rabble that harassed the border before, but had the strength to compete with them, and even far surpass them.
On top of the city tower, Star Lord Liu Jiazi's face was as gloomy as water. Looking at the excited leaders below who were asking for an attack, he was in a dilemma and hesitated.
He was a little annoyed. He should not have underestimated his opponent before, so he let the army go out and form an array in front of Zhennang Pass, assuming a posture of easily facing the enemy. He originally planned to use a group of mages and the leader to destroy the opponent's arrogance first.
When the morale of the army is unstable, then attack with full force and easily win this skill.
But I never thought that my opponent would actually hide it well. Among these monsters and barbarians, whether they were wizards and warlocks whose realms were equal to the True Realm, or great witches and demons who were equal to the Perfect Realm, they were definitely more numerous than our own.
"There is no greater misfortune than underestimating the enemy." If we had known that our opponent was so powerful, we should have retreated into the city, relied on high wall barriers, defended with all our strength, and weakened the opponent's morale.
Now he is riding a tiger with difficulty, but now the arrow is on the string and he has to shoot. Even if the morale of the army is unstable, he must attack with all his strength, otherwise he will retreat hastily and will be completely defeated.
Star Lord Liu Jiazi stood up slowly, and everyone looked at him. Looking at his firm eyes, they felt much more at ease. Liu Jiazi raised his arm, and was about to shout for the whole army to attack.
Suddenly, a long horn sounded in the distance, and the demonic barbarian army, which had already taken the initiative, began to retreat slowly.
There was silence on the battlefield, except for the dull, rhythmic footsteps of the demonic barbarian army, which seemed to step on everyone's heart.
At this time, a loud voice sounded: "Liu Jiazi, your and our armies have suffered casualties from each other today, and the men and horses are exhausted. It is better to fight again tomorrow."
When Liu Jiazi heard this, he raised his arm and didn't know whether to put it down or continue to raise it.
But at this time, the five leaders who were fighting with all their strength under the city wall were furious and were about to pursue them.
Liu Jiazi hurriedly lowered his arms and shouted to stop. The five leaders had no choice but to return to the tower and asked dissatisfied why they were not allowed to pursue.
Star Lord Liu Jiazi sighed helplessly and explained in a gentle tone: "My dear fellows, we have just fought against the monsters and barbarians. Thank you for your hard work. As the art of war says, one can make great efforts, then weaken again, and three times will be exhausted. At this time, our military morale is unstable and morale is low.
, it is not appropriate to pursue them now. It is better to take this opportunity to prepare the army and ask for help from the Dao Sect and the Great Shock Dynasty."
…
At this time, on the huge chariot of the demon barbarian army, Mr. Yu asked with some dissatisfaction: "I said, Chief Meng, I haven't had enough fun yet, why did I withdraw?"
Leader Meng smiled heartily and said comfortingly: "Master Yu, don't worry, we are calling it a long-term goal to catch the big fish. Our ancestors have told us that we can hold the opponent back and attract more power from the Taoist sect, not a decisive battle with them.
"
He touched the rough beard on his face and continued happily: "This time we let the other party see our strength, they will definitely be panicked, and they will definitely ask Daomen for help again. In this way, we will achieve the goal of delaying
The purpose of living in Taomen."
Mr. Yu sighed bitterly and slumped lazily on his seat, looking tired.
…
On the Zhennanguan city wall, Yuan Zhaoxi, Zuo Sisi, and Lu Xiaoyao looked at the soldiers who were busy cleaning the battlefield under the city wall and remained silent.
On the battlefield, the soil where the army stood before the earthquake had long been stained reddish-brown with blood. Under the influence of the remaining power of the spell, the blood had not yet solidified, and the haze in the sky had not dissipated.
The wounded and corpses on the ground have been carried away, and the discarded armor and weapons have also been cleaned up. However, body parts that have long been unrecognizable are still scattered here and there.
Not long ago, the sounds of fighting, shouts, and bursts of spells that filled this place disappeared. But the silence at this time seemed extremely ferocious and strange.
Zuo Sisi suddenly spoke up, breaking the oppressive silence: "The Taoist sect actually lost. How could this demon be so powerful?"
Yuan Chaoxi was also in a depressed mood and complained: "If you underestimate the enemy by relying on your courage, you will naturally lose."
But she was still full of hope for the Taoist sect in her heart, and cheered: "It doesn't matter if you lose. If this happens, the Taoist sect will definitely take it seriously. Look, there will be more soldiers and monks coming tomorrow, and the demons and barbarians will not attack again."
Get any advantage."
Zuo Sisi shook his head, sighed, and then asked worriedly: "Why haven't Bailiming and the others arrived yet? Is something going to happen?"
Yuan Chaoxi slapped his head and said, "Look at my memory, it was disturbed by this battle and I almost forgot it."
Then she said: "I asked Mr. Lu. He sent a summons to my father to ask about this matter. My father said that he was attacked by monsters on the road. He was not aware of it for a while. The golden scale building was damaged and needed to be repaired before he could come here. I guess
