Chapter 1584: The City Still Stands, You Must Make It In Time
A horrifying claw flash appeared on the city tower, almost tearing the entire city tower in two.
Princess Jinrou was pushed back a few steps by this power again. However, that unique domain was still maintained in front of her. Ning Tianyou’s Blood Life Beast did not manage to pierce through Princess Jin Rou’s unique domain. Only the power contained within the claw strike pierced through the city tower.
Wanxiang City’s city tower definitely could not block the attacks from a high class Immortal rank creature. So it was clear that Ning Tianyou’s attack was greatly weakened after passing through a layer of barrier and domain. Wanxiang City’s defender only had to let a rock type soul pet chant an incantation to repair the crack on the city tower.
“That woman is actually able to block clan master’s Blood Life Beast!” Ning Family’s commanders were shocked and looked at that spectral woman in astonishment.
Blood Life Beast was a high class Immortal rank creature. Just this soul pet alone could cause a devastating blow to Wanxiang City.
Its attack should be unblockable, yet that spectral woman exuding unknown aura used an unknown power to block Ning Family army outside of her barrier. That barrier was even able to block their clan master’s Blood Life Beast.
“Don’t stop, continue attacking!” shouted Ning Tianyou as he swept a glance at his army.
Be it a barrier or spiritual protection, sufficient power could break through it. Ning Tianyou would not believe a specter could really stop the attack from him and his army!
Blood Life Beast fell back a little distance. Thick blood aura condensed around it, and a horrifying blood shadow stacked within the blood aura.
Blood Life Beast was accumulating its blood beast power. It stood in the sky and enlarged within the blood shadow and blood aura!
“Hou!”
Blood Life Beast roared and a blood beast soul charged out from its body!
The blood beast soul heavily crashed onto the spiritual barrier.
A terrifying blood ray flashed on the barrier. The blood beast shadow pounced down and twisted the shape of the spiritual barrier using its pressure.
At the same time, Ning Family army’s elemental legion completed their incantations. Techniques showered down onto the spiritual barrier after blood beast soul’s pounce!
An elemental storm was able to bring destructive damage to the middle city. The people on the street raised their heads. What they saw was no longer the blue sky, but a sky filled with deadly elemental techniques.
Such destructive energy was only one thin barrier away from them. They clearly understood that this thin barrier would never be able to block so many techniques.
On the middle city’s streets, panic did not break out. Those people could only raise their heads and watch the elemental energy exploding on the barrier. It was a beautiful yet terrifying sight......
The streets were crowded with people. If any technique landed on the streets, it could easily reap the lives of over a thousand people.
The barrier dimmed occasionally, as if it would shatter any moment. Then, the meteor-like elemental techniques would fall onto the crowds.
However, the barrier did not shatter. There was still an invisible spiritual barrier outside the barrier.
This spiritual barrier was created with Princess Jinrou’s will. The enemy’s bombardment was similar to landing on her vast spiritual world.
As long as her spiritual world did not collapse, this spiritual barrier created with will and spirit would never shatter!
“She used her spiritual power and protected the entire city,” Holy Guard Chief Yi Wu was astonished. He looked at the woman standing on the roof in disbelief.
Soul pet trainers possessed spiritual power, also known as soul remembrance. They could use soul remembrance to sense, replace their sight or even attack the opponent’s spiritual world directly. At the same time, they could use soul remembrance to protect their souls......
However, using spiritual power to create a large barrier and protecting an entire city was never heard of before.
Just how vast the spiritual power would be needed to stop an entire army outside of the city and block waves after waves of deadly barrages?
After stacking over four thousand Devil Souls, Princess Jinrou’s body was no longer semi-transparent.
However, each time a fierce attack landed on the barrier, especially from Ning Tianyou’s Blood Life Beast and the other Immortals, Princess Jinrou’s spectral radiance would dim a little. Her body would also become a little more transparent.
From being shrouded in an unknown domain to gradually seeing the sky through her body, it was clear that this spiritual barrier which protected the entire city was rapidly exhausting her spiritual power.
Shen Mo knew that when Princess Jinrou’s body turned completely transparent, it meant that she and those Devil Souls would have exhausted all their power. Devil Souls sustained their lives with spiritual power. Once it was exhausted, it meant their lives reached the end......
Her power was not bottomless. She seemed unaffected, but she was also doing her best to grab onto the final strand of hope for Wanxiang City.
Shen Mo clenched his fist tightly. He could not let Princess Jinrou endure through this alone, he and the others had to do something!
He took a glance at the Nightmare army which flew onto the city wall.
There were around 50,000 Nightmares, their average rank did not even reach Emperor. They were basically the reserve fighting strength of Nightmare Dynasty. They were similarly buying time for Wanxiang City.
Shen Mo gritted his teeth and ordered, “New Moon Palace soldiers, split into two teams and leave middle city through the secret passages. Disrupt the enemy elemental legion from behind!”
After that, Shen Mo jumped down from the city tower and led one team to leave from the secret passage.
Xia Zhixian watched Shen Mo leave.
The New Moon Palace soldiers Shen Mo led would definitely head to the outer city. There was no protection in the outer city. Going to disrupt the enemy like that was similar to stretching their necks towards the enemy’s guillotine.
She did not know if what Shen Mo did was worth it or not, since what he did was only buying the little time the enemy had to use to raise the guillotine......
“That flower garden below Wanxiang Altar has a Flower Killing Formation......” Xia Zhixian began speaking to Holy Guard Chief Yi Wu.
“City Lord Xia can just tell me. If the city is lost, what use is there to keep my life?” said Yi Wu with a serious expression.
“The elders can provide the energy to activate the Flower Killing Formation, they just have to place the formation nodes accordingly. However, this Flower Killing Formation was set up at Wanxiang Altar to protect Empress Concubine Palace. I need ten experts to set up the formation catalyst flowers amongst the enemies in order to make the Flower Killing Formation work on the enemies,” said Xia Zhixian.
The Flower Killing Formation was set up by Yu Suo, it was used to protect her own territory.
This Flower Killing Formation was very special. The more the energy provided, the greater the power it could unleash. Wanxiang City was in its crucial moment. If the city was lost, there was no point keeping those soul crystals.
Although it was not known if changing the Flower Killing Formation like that would work, if they did not even try, everything would be lost!
“I will personally lead the team. City Lord Xia just has to tell me how to do it, I will definitely accomplish the mission!” said Yi Wu without any hesitation.
Diving deep into the enemy army to set up the formation nodes......
This was even more dangerous than Shen Mo’s suicidal disruption!
“The catalyst nodes are simple. You just have to plant these seeds into the soil,” Xia Zhixian handed over some seeds to Yi Wu.
“How many enemies can this formation kill?” asked Holy Guard Captain Jian Feng.
“Two Emperor soul crystals can kill an Emperor rank enemy. Two Dominator soul crystals can kill a Dominator rank enemy,” said Xia Zhixian.
Holy Guard Captain Jian Feng also took over the catalyst seeds, then took off his spatial ring and handed it to Xia Zhixian, “The soul crystals inside can kill three Dominators and twenty Emperors more.”
Xia Zhixian was surprised for a moment and held onto the ring......
“Tell me where I should bury these seeds,” said Jian Feng.
“It is best to be near the enemy’s elemental army,” Xia Zhixian suddenly felt that her suggestion was very cruel. By saying those words, it was similar to deciding the grave of this young Holy Guard Captain would be at the enemy elemental army’s area......
Jian Feng nodded and did not say anything further. He stood on the city wall and observed the enemy’s elemental army.
“City Lord Xia, please prepare the formation. Princess Jinrou cannot endure much longer, she is already having a difficult time,” said Yi Wu, “Leave these to us.”
“Alright. Take care,” Xia Zhixian nodded and flew towards Wanxiang Altar on her Sky Butterfly Queen.
......
Wave after wave of energy bombardments blasted Princess Jinrou’s spiritual world. Her spiritual world was in a mess. That brain churning pain caused her to bite her lips tightly, her face was extremely pale.
“That’s......” Suddenly, Princess Jinrou saw a team.
The person leading that team was Shen Mo. He brought a limited number of New Moon Palace soldiers and appeared in the outer city unknowingly.
Without the protection of the barrier, they would not be able to defend the enemy bombardments.
They would die......
At this moment, several figures flew out with their demons from the city wall.
They crossed through the barrier she put up and exposed themselves to the enemies.
These people should be the strongest ones left in the New Moon Land defenders. They rode on their demons and dove towards the enemy army. The person at the front waws Holy Guard Chief Yi Wu, as well as that outstanding young Holy Guard Captain Jian Feng......
Seeing them leave her protection, Princess Jinrou felt even sadder.
Everyone was squeezing out their final effort to protect Wanxiang City......
“Chu Mu, the city still stands, you must make it in time,” prayed Princess Jinrou in her heart silently.
