Chapter 142 The Emperor of Fengdu Disappears, Monsters Mutate
Xiao Qianyu held the Dragon King Halberd in one hand, the tip pointing diagonally at the ground: "Go."
Zhao Leiguang tensed his leg muscles, and his military boots stomped two grooves in the rock.
The turbulent energy field was forcefully cleaved open by the shield, creating a path. The first squad followed closely behind, stepping inside.
The soles of my boots pressed firmly against the sticky ground, leaving dark red streaks in my eyes. The air was thick with the stench of rotting entrails.
The ancient city of Fengdu, with its blue bricks and gray tiles, was completely destroyed, leaving no trace of a whole corpse; all that could be seen were collapsed ruins. A sickly dark red haze hung in the sky.
Lu Yan deployed the sensory network.
The oppressive aura of the Fengdu Emperor that had previously made it hard to breathe had completely disappeared.
The divine rules of the Veiled Realm have been drained, leaving this place a broken shell to be manipulated at will.
A dense roar echoed from the depths of the ruins.
It wasn't the sound of a living person; it was a strange noise from a torn vocal cord.
Behind the broken city wall, deep within the collapsed streets, thousands upon thousands of red lights shone.
The ghostly soldiers who used to patrol according to formations have now all become monsters with their limbs on the ground and their joints bent backwards.
They lost their spears and shields, their fangs protruding, and their saliva dripped onto the bluestone slabs, burning fist-sized craters.
Before they could even stand their ground for half a second, the monster horde surged forward in overwhelming numbers.
Without saying a word, Wen Yue took two quick steps on the broken wall and climbed up the half of the clock tower.
The world-destroying thunderbolt crossbow was mounted on the parapet, its mechanism engaged. The trigger was pulled.
The launchers on both sides of the crossbow spit out tongues of fire, and the scattered grenades follow a fan-shaped trajectory, crashing into the street ahead.
A series of deafening explosions followed one after another, and the shockwaves sent the monsters at the forefront flying, skin and bones flying.
Limbs and bits of flesh mixed with black mud were scattered everywhere.
Just as the horde of monsters was about to fill in, high-explosive grenades precisely struck the densest area.
A flash of white light, and a large section of the street was cleared away.
Wen Yue lay prone on the top of the clock tower, the wind drift data automatically updating in her mind. Her finger pressed the trigger tightly, turning a crossbow into a heavy machine gun position.
On the ground defense line, Zhao Leiguang pushed forward with two shields.
The Earth Wall and the Pulse Core worked in tandem, the Tower Shield slammed into the ground, and earth energy spread out in a ring, crushing all the monsters that managed to escape.
With each step he took forward, the bluestone slabs would tumble and transform into spikes half a meter high, piercing through the monsters that lunged at him.
War tramples on the ground.
With him as the center, the gravity parameters within a five-meter radius were forcibly maximized.
The monster in mid-air lost its balance and crashed face down to the ground, the sound of its neck breaking echoing everywhere.
The Taotie belt around his waist glowed red, draining away all the low-level attributes like "Rage" and "Bloodlust" that had fallen from the dead monster.
"Pah, are you trying to fob me off? These are all worthless entries!" Zhao Leiguang slapped his belt in disgust, slammed his shield forward, and smashed three more monsters to pieces.
Lin Chuxue didn't even need to move; she pointed her staff at the street on the right and unleashed a full-scale Blood Storm.
Piles of crimson orbs were hurled at the monsters, turning them and the floor tiles into a bloody pulp.
The money-grubbing tycoon who doesn't need to worry about mana consumption is now spending more money than anyone else when it comes to investing in skills.
Su Yunqing stood in the center of the group, her new weapon, the Gift of Yao Guang, emitting a white light.
The shield assembly line typically covers everyone, resulting in a severe overabundance of healing, creating three thick barriers around teammates.
The shield regeneration never stopped during the treatment, and she maintained the perfect support radius, protecting the entire team flawlessly.
Shen Xinglin remained silent, his ever-changing lance movements creating afterimages in his hands.
When encountering heavily armored monsters with thick hides and tough skin, the spear tip will directly eject armor-piercing cones, piercing through the skull in one strike; when encountering a group of monsters, the spear blade will unfold into a long-handled scythe, slicing them in half at the waist.
He stood guard on Su Yunqing's flank, preventing even a drop of black blood from splashing onto the wet nurse's white robe.
Xiao Qianyu didn't even assume a defensive stance.
With a flick of the Dragon King's Halberd, a flash attack was triggered.
Their gaze locked onto the largest monster, and their spatial coordinates instantly swapped.
As the halberd sliced through the monster's neck, she had already flashed to the back of her next target, ten meters away.
This kind of spatial kill, which doesn't even have a pre-cast animation, makes the monster swarm tactic a joke.
Without warning, a black rift opened in the space. A two-handed saber, carrying a heavy, pungent stench, cleaved straight out of the void, its target Su Yunqing in the middle of the group.
"Old Zhao!" Xiao Qianyu called out.
Zhao Leiguang had already made his move. He raised the Earth Pulse Twin Shields above his head and activated the Pulse Core at full power.
The blade struck the shield, creating a piercing metallic scraping sound. The flagstones beneath Zhao Leiguang's feet shattered, and his knees slammed into the ground. The immense recoil sent several people flying.
The group rolled on the ground to create distance between themselves.
The ghost general, nearly three meters tall, squeezed out completely from the crack. It was covered in tattered, gleaming armor, dragging its horse-slaying sword, and then swept it horizontally with a backhand motion.
The blade energy sliced along the ground, flattening the broken walls in its path.
Shen Xinglin's ever-changing lance quickly reformed, unfolding into a heavy tower shield that stood firmly in front of Su Yunqing. The blade energy collided with the lance and shield, and Shen Xinglin slid back four or five meters along with the shield, his military boots dragging two deep grooves in the ground.
Su Yunqing raised the Gift of Yao Guang and unleashed three holy light shields, which steadily enveloped Shen Xinglin. The healing effect overflowed, and a layer of platinum-gold light film appeared on the surface of the shields.
"Did this big black guy eat fertilizer?" Zhao Leiguang pulled his leg out of the pit and shook his numb arm. "He's really strong."
"Enough talk, draw their aggro!" Xiao Qianyu, wielding the Dragon King Halberd, directly severed the spatial coordinates.
Flash Strike.
She traversed the spatial distance and stood directly at the back of the ghost general's neck, her halberd plunging into the gap in his armor.
when!
A burst of sparks erupted from the tip of the spear. The ghost general reacted with astonishing speed, tilting his head and slapping Xiao Qianyu, who was still in mid-air, with a backhand.
Wen Yue lay prone on a broken pillar in the distance, her finger on the trigger. The high-explosive grenade struck the Ghost General's wrist precisely, blasting away half of his hand. Xiao Qianyu used the blast wave to tumble through the air and land.
"First snow, time to wash the floor!"
"Here it comes!" Lin Chuxue paused with her staff. Her current state was extremely strange; her health bar was at its maximum and locked due to Su Yunqing's excessive healing. The 1 HP, 10,000 Shield mechanism meant she didn't need to consider resource consumption at all.
"Taste my unlimited firepower!"
Hundreds upon hundreds of crimson orbs sealed off all hiding places, completely engulfing the area where the ghost general was located. Explosions rang out one after another, and bits of flesh and black blood flew everywhere.
Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, the ghost general's roar rang out.
It burst out from the explosion's epicenter, its hand, which had just been blasted apart by Wen Yue, and its body, riddled with holes by Lin Chuxue, rapidly healing. Black granulation tissue intertwined, and the wounds returned to normal in seconds.
