Chapter 107: Troops Arrive at Linsha Pass
At this moment, the ground outside the Linsha Pass city wall was covered with charred corpses. The wall was split open by some force, leaving a large gap, and corpses rushed in continuously.
Behind the city wall, corpses of soldiers torn apart by zombie puppets could be seen everywhere, as well as a few burnt or frozen zombie puppets.
The defenders of Linsha Pass and the Zhenxi Army held a dark red ball, lit the fuse with a torch and threw it at the corpse puppet. The explosion could knock the corpse puppet away.
This kind of firearm, which is powerful enough to blow a person to pieces, can only blow away corpses and is unlikely to cause effective damage.
This kind of weapon cannot hurt the corpse puppets, let alone the spears of ordinary soldiers. Once they get close, ordinary soldiers will be slaughtered.
Some soldiers took small wooden barrels and poured black slime on the corpse puppets, then immediately turned around and ran away.
When the corpse puppet pounced on him, the soldiers waiting behind him took an iron spear that was more than five meters long and stabbed it into the body. However, it only pierced the clothes but could not even pierce the corpse puppet's skin. The main purpose was to prevent the corpse puppet from attacking their own people.
At this time, the archers behind will shoot arrows at the corpse puppet, and a fierce fire will burn. The flames will be purple and the temperature will be very alarming.
Because it was caught by the corpse puppet, the gun tip would burn red after a few seconds, which shows how high the temperature of the fire is.
Although the corpse puppets do not feel pain, this kind of fire can still burn their bodies if it burns for a long time, especially if their hands and feet are burned off. Even if they do not die, they basically lose their threat.
These are the firearms developed by the Shenhuo Sect for the Zhenxi Army. If they are used against ordinary armies, they can be said to be invincible, but corpse puppets are no longer within the scope of ordinary warfare.
To deal with a corpse puppet, more than ten soldiers are needed to cooperate successfully, and this must be done without attacks from other corpse puppets.
More often than not, if something goes wrong, an entire team of soldiers will be killed, and most of these attacks will fail, after all, there are too many uncertain factors on the battlefield.
At the main gate of the command center, Zi Yan stood on the gate wall and controlled the Xunfeng Flying Ring, which turned into twenty green wind rings that flew around and killed the approaching corpse puppets.
This top-grade spiritual treasure was quite powerful. Each flying ring could kill a corpse puppet as it flashed by. Twenty-four flying rings at the same time were enough to prevent the corpse puppets from approaching.
Ziqiong stood on the roof of the attic on the right side of the wall, and the Bingling Aurora Sword shuttled through the group of corpses. Wherever the white sword light passed, rows of corpses were beheaded.
Zi Xuan stood on the left side of the wall, controlling the Ice Spirit Pearl, which turned into a white ball of light and flew out, with a snow-white cold air behind it, like a small meteor.
The ball of light flew past the corpse puppets, and groups of corpse puppets were frozen into ice sculptures.
The three of them had been fighting for nearly a day, relying entirely on the recovery pills Zhou An gave them, otherwise their true energy would have been exhausted long ago.
Around the command center, the generals of the Zhenxi Army used the city towers as strongholds to fight against the corpse puppets.
They are considered the outer disciples of the Divine Fire Sect. They all carry a low-grade magic weapon of the Divine Fire Sect, and the better ones have a mid-grade magic weapon.
Those standing on the balcony hold fire talismans and release fireballs. There are also bows and arrows with the talisman on the arrow head. When the arrows hit the corpse puppets, the talisman fire will appear and burn the corpse puppets to death.
Some of the generals guarding the tower were holding flaming whips, some had weapons burning with flames, and with some special armor, they had no problem dealing with one corpse puppet at a time.
However, after a whole day of fighting, the generals were exhausted and might be knocked down by the corpse puppets if they were distracted. They would then be pounced on by more corpse puppets from behind and torn to pieces in just a dozen seconds.
Such battles were happening all the time in Linsha Pass.
Faced with this supernatural monster, the Zhenxi Army did not retreat, but instead held on to the spot.
Marshal Tang Yan personally led the Tang family generals to form an army formation to fight against the corpse puppets. Fortunately, the Tang family generals were all cultivators and had a mid-grade magic weapon in their hands. Marshal Tang had a red spear in his hand, which was a top-grade magic weapon with considerable lethality to the corpse puppets.
It’s just that due to the tireless and never-ending attacks of the corpse puppets, the Tang family generals have become exhausted and are relying entirely on willpower to resist. Currently, more than half of them have been killed or injured.
The Shenhuo Sect, Wuji Sect, Wufu Sect, Daoshan Sect and other immortal cultivation sects in the western part of Qianzhou also participated in this war. It was because of their participation that they were able to hold out for such a long time.
Inside the command center, Rose and Magnolia led the doctors here to treat the wounded, but there were not many wounded. In this war, once you are separated from the formation or fall down, it is a miracle to survive, and it is difficult to wait for the rescue team.
Outside Linsha Pass, there was a fierce battle between the subordinates of the Great Sage Black Sky and the Golden Peng Demon Sage and the immortal cultivators from the Huangzhou sect controlled by the Ji Tian Sect. Fortunately, these demon generals were powerful and stopped most of the people from the Ji Tian Sect, which allowed the Zhenxi Army behind them to still have the strength to fight.
Heitian, holding the Tiger Roaring Demonic Sword, looked breathlessly at the four people in front of him, who were the leader of the Shengtian Sword Sect, the abbot of Xiaoyue Peak, the leader of the Soul Sect, and the leader of the Sand Hidden Sect.
These four people are from the five top immortal cultivation sects in Huangzhou. The four masters have all reached the eighth and ninth levels of the innate realm. It is rare for Heitian to fight against four of them alone, which is a rare achievement.
On the other side, Jin Peng fought against True Man Taiyang and True Man Taiyin. The Sun and Moon Immortal Wheels of these two people were extremely powerful. Fortunately, the two were dead and were only controlled by Master Ji Tian. The two immortal treasures could no longer be combined, otherwise Jin Peng would definitely not be able to compete.
Baiyan, his men and Sainaimu used poison formations to fight against other sects in Huangzhou, and the fight was extremely fierce.
In the army formation of Jitian Sect, Miro stood alone in front of the leader of Jitian Sect. There were corpses lying all around him. They were all elders of Jitian Sect.
These elders were considered top figures in Huangzhou, no worse than the leaders of the major sects, yet they were unable to withstand a single move from Miro.
The two most powerful elders were also killed by his three sword strikes.
Under the commander-in-chief's flag, there sat a man wearing a leader's robe, but his face was covered with a black veil and there was something like double horns on his hat.
The leader clapped his hands and said, "I didn't expect that Emperor Qianyuan would have a ghost general under his command. This is really a surprise."
"Now you're the only one left. I want to see if you're just a mean person who can only play dirty tricks."
As Miro finished saying this, he appeared behind Ji Tian Sect Leader, and the knife in his hand emitted black flames and slashed towards the opponent's shoulder.
The body of the leader of Ji Tian turned into a ball of blood. The blade slashed through it, cutting the blood. Although the physical attack was ineffective, the black fire on the blade burned a lot of blood.
The ball of blood flew a hundred meters away, and after falling down, it reunited to form the leader. Five blood balls appeared around him and turned into blood knives and flew out.
Miro's body disappeared again. The speed at which the five bloody knives flew towards him was not enough to catch up with him. He appeared beside the leader again and cut the leader in half with the black flaming knives.
As a result, his body turned into a blood clot and flew away. Miro snorted coldly: "Let me see how much blood you have to evaporate my black flame."
The leader fell silent, then started to take things seriously. He flew into the air with his hands raised. Bloody knives appeared around him, and their number increased exponentially.
Miro frowned, flew into the air, and slashed upwards with a knife. The green wind formed an arc of knife light and flew out, carrying black flames.
The leader pushed with both hands, and thousands of blood swords fell down and collided with the black flame wind blades. Only a dozen blood swords blocked Miro's sword light.
Other blood knives fell at the same time and turned into more smaller blood knives, covering a hundred-meter area around Miro.
Miro held the long sword in front of him and released his ghost power, forming a green whirlwind of light around him to protect himself, with black flames in the wind.
The blood knife hit it like a bloody rain. With just one hit, Miro felt a huge pressure, and his feet crushed the ground and sank into it.
"Green wind, Green Ghost clan, speed is your advantage. Green Ghosts without speed advantage are not that good either." The leader said in a flat tone, forming seals with his hands. A whirlwind of blood rain appeared around, surrounding Miro. Every drop of blood rain was a small blood knife.
Miro was bearing the brunt of the blood rain. No matter how he moved, the whirlwind would follow him. He could not break out of the encirclement, no matter how fast he was.
Suddenly, a dark blue light burst out from the blood rain whirlwind, penetrated the blood rain whirlwind in the blink of an eye, and rushed through the leader's body. Then, a green wind burst out from the leader's body, and black flames spewed out from his chest.
"Ah!" The leader screamed, and before his body was engulfed by the black flames, his body turned into blood and dispersed again.
When they gathered again, the leader's robe had disappeared, revealing his true face. He was actually a red-skinned demon with a pair of horns on his head, but the horns had been cut off, leaving two bulges on the hat.
