Chapter 674 White Whisk
Fortunately, the Smoke Bombing Squadron and the Falcon Fighting Squadron arrived at the battlefield at this time, making up for the deficiencies in the deployment of air defense capabilities. Seventy-nine aircraft carrying sufficient weapons and ammunition joined the combat sequence, greatly alleviating the pressure on the army. The arrival of reinforcements also boosted the morale of all their own soldiers on the battlefield.
However, despite the timely arrival of the flying squadron, the ensuing battle was still extremely fierce.
Even with two flying squadrons joining the battlefield, there were still many loopholes in the air strikes against outsiders. About one-third of the foreign monks were unharmed in the air combat.
At the outermost edge, soldiers holding soul-catching bells formed a special formation to capture the out-of-body souls on the battlefield. These souls included animal souls and the spiritual souls of foreign monks. If the animal souls were not captured, they would perish within a short time after the death of the physical body. The spiritual souls of foreign monks had a certain chance of taking over the bodies of soldiers on this side. However, most of the souls that could be captured by the Soul-catching Bell were the souls of dead beasts, and the spiritual souls of monks were difficult to capture.
There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the first batch of monsters that landed and the second batch of foreign monks who landed. They were often able to cooperate with each other and fight together. Although the robot warriors carried many powerful thermal weapons, they also had a fatal flaw, which was their lack of on-the-spot adaptability. In this case, the robot warriors were quickly beaten to pieces and completely defeated.
The main combat force of the army in the second encirclement is mecha warriors wearing exoskeleton armor. The mecha warriors themselves are at least Qiqiao realm practitioners. With the assistance of the exoskeleton, their arms have a force of thousands of pounds. In addition, they have two mechanical arms modified into gun muzzles. The firepower is fierce, and they firmly suppress the foreign monks in the encirclement.
Moreover, the exoskeleton armor is made of special alloy, which is cold-proof, fire-resistant and collision-proof. The spiritual fire talismans, flame explosion talismans and ice talismans thrown by foreign monks have no effect on mecha warriors. In the first fight between the two sides, the mecha warriors have the upper hand.
However, the good times did not last long. The situation in the field soon changed. Some of the foreign monks seemed to have used magical instruments that could increase their agility. They were as fast as lightning and their movements could not be seen at all. Only a trail of afterimages were left. Soon, some of them broke through the second encirclement and engaged in a battle with the high-end combat power of the army on the third line of defense. At the same time, most of the foreign monks who had been injured by missile fire before lost their vital signs, and their souls left their bodies. They floated on the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity to find a suitable host.
For cultivators whose cultivation level is above the Blood Refining Realm, their souls will leave their bodies after their physical death, and can remain condensed for a short period of time. However, in theory, they can only possess the bodies of cultivators whose cultivation levels are far lower than theirs. However, it is not known whether these foreign cultivators have received special training, or whether their spiritual power is higher than their cultivation level, that after their souls leave their bodies, they can actually possess the bodies of cultivators of similar levels as them.
The soul detectors set up outside the encirclement kept sending out sharp alarms. A soldier holding a soul-catching bell responsible for capturing alien souls suddenly screamed and forcefully tore off the mental helmet on his head. At the same time, many soldiers in camouflage uniforms on the battlefield sneaked up on their comrades around them, and the army suffered heavy casualties for a while.
Those who attack their own people must have been invaded by alien souls and have lost their consciousness. However, the soldiers on the battlefield are wearing uniform camouflage combat uniforms and often change positions during battles. In the ever-changing battlefield, it is difficult to distinguish which soldiers have been invaded.
At this time, the war stenographer hiding aside took out a simple microphone from his arms. On the other side of the microphone were snipers ambushing around the battlefield. The war stenographer was responsible for positioning, and the sniper aimed at the target and fired a powerful anesthetic bullet. The alien soul invaded, and the soul and body were not adaptable enough in a short period of time. The body was not very sensitive to receiving external signals. This situation made the sniper knock down most of the problematic practitioners with almost no effort. However, the existence of the sniper soon aroused the fear of foreign monks. A middle-aged man in a red Taoist robe fired a hidden weapon at the snipers around him. The hidden weapon seemed to have eyes. No matter how the sniper hid, it would bite the sniper tightly. Soon, the snipers were all shot by the hidden weapon, and then there was no movement.
The middle-aged man in a red Taoist robe held a pure white whisk in his hand. It was unknown what material the tens of thousands of white silks were made of, but they emitted a white halo. The white silks could be flexible or tough, soft or hard, and even long or short. The soldiers who were swept by the fluttering white silks obviously reacted slowly. In a fierce battlefield, being slow could be fatal. Wherever the white whisk swept, the space was quickly cleared. Cui Lie saw the situation here. He and Liu Zonghai exchanged a glance, activated the seventh-level demon dragon armor, and rushed forward.
After the Burning Sky Fire Dragon's phantom appeared, many foreign cultivators on the field showed panic on their faces. The man holding the white whisk looked at the Burning Sky Fire Dragon's phantom with obvious confusion. He could feel that the Burning Sky Fire Dragon's phantom was filled with the Burning Sky Fire Dragon's unique energy fluctuations. Although this energy fluctuation was very weak, what did these natives do to the Burning Sky Fire Dragon? How come it seemed like this person could borrow the Burning Sky Fire Dragon's ability? What kind of evil magic was this?
Cui Lie and Liu Zonghai activated their demon dragon armors one after another and fought with the most difficult foreign cultivators. On the army side, in addition to Cui Lie, Liu Zonghai and Yan Xun who had integrated the seventh-level demon dragon armor, there were another twenty-two people who had integrated other beast soul armors. Most of these beast soul armors were made of the bones and souls of fifth- or sixth-level demon beasts. Although they were not as powerful as the seventh-level demon dragon armor, they could greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army.
However, the army's advantage did not last long. Because of the energy problem of the seventh-level demon dragon armor, Cui Lie used the Burning Sky Flame several times in the battle with the red-robed Taoist priest, but failed to defeat the enemy. Instead, he exhausted the power of the Burning Sky Flame in the Demon Dragon Armor. After several more rounds of fighting, Cui Lie gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Seeing the shadow of the demon dragon behind Cui Lie appearing and disappearing from time to time, very unstable, people couldn't help but worry for him.
When Rong Xianxian returned to the battlefield, she saw Cui Lie who was retreating step by step and was about to be swept by the whisk in the hand of the red-robed Taoist priest.
She put away her flying skateboard, took out her flying carpet, activated the invisibility barrier of the barrier beads, drew out her Soul-Devouring Sword and slashed at the red-robed Taoist priest.
Rong Xianxian's soul-devouring sword had already arrived behind the red-robed Taoist priest. Just as the sword was about to hit him, with a "swoosh", Rong Xianxian's sword only hit an afterimage.
