"Not bad, first you lure us into a trap, then you catch us off guard, and finally you make us feel like we're on edge. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next!"
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the Holy Spirits and their group constantly using psionic energy to probe the way. Clearly, these people were wasting their energy, because after setting up this minefield, the North City Allied Forces had already retreated several miles away.
The subsequent developments were exactly as Jiang Yuan had expected. The Holy Spirits cautiously explored their way forward, but they encountered no hidden dangers along the way. Instead, their nerves became tense.
Finally, realizing he had been tricked, the ninth-tier Holy Spirit was enraged, shouting, "You forced me to do this!"
With a wave of his hand, several insects appeared beside him.
"Go, find these lowly races, I will personally grind them to dust!"
Three insects appeared in total. Although the insects were only the size of a palm, the aura they emitted was not to be underestimated. As soon as they appeared, they spread out in three directions.
"This is a Life-Chasing Insect!" Jiang Yuan remembered the identity of the insect in front of him thanks to the inheritance of the Sun and Moon Saint Lord. It is a kind of holy spirit beast that is extremely good at tracking. Don't look at its low combat power. This kind of insect has a high status among holy spirit beasts and can be regarded as a rare species.
The moment the insects flew out, the North City Allied Forces could no longer contain themselves. Having fought the Holy Spirit so many times, they knew how powerful the Life-Chasing Insects were. It was only a matter of time before they were found, so they might as well launch an attack before they were exposed.
"attack!"
A whooshing sound came from the launcher that the Northern City Allied Forces had already set up. This time, the super ninth-tier Holy Spirit would not give the other side any chance. He gathered his spiritual energy and smashed the diving missile with one blow.
Just as he was feeling smug, something unexpected happened. The missile did not explode. Instead, after the missile body shattered, it emitted a grayish-white mist. In just a few seconds, the mist covered an area of nearly 100 meters in radius.
The next second, countless whooshing sounds rang out from one place, like a solo performance of an organ in a silent auditorium, long and deadly!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Rumble!
The dense barrage of rockets rained down. The Katyusha, once known as the sword of artillery, had been improved over the decades and its power far exceeded that of the past. Almost instantly, the area shrouded in white mist was engulfed in towering mud waves. The entire bombardment area was as if it had been turned upside down, with no part of it unscathed.
"Tsk tsk, are these guys a mobile arsenal?"
Seeing the scene of artillery fire, Jiang Yuan felt a mix of emotions. This moment of modern warfare, which he had never witnessed before the catastrophe, left a deep impression on him.
That wasn't the end of it. After Katyusha fired several salvos of hundreds of rockets, the grayish-white fog that had previously enveloped the battlefield underwent a change. The high temperature from the rockets caused the white fog to explode a second time.
Boom! The extremely high temperature instantly spread throughout the mixed dust space. The sudden increase in atmospheric pressure and the 1200-degree temperature brought by the combustion of aluminum powder immediately filled the entire dust space.
Thump! Thump! The two men, Long Lei and his companion, who had moved to a new position, fired their guns indiscriminately this time, because the battle was over.
"Aaaaaah! I'm going to kill you all!"
Suddenly, a golden figure burst out from the still-exploding explosion; it was Vito, the strongest super-ninth-tier Holy Spirit among the Holy Spirits.
"A bunch of clowns!" Vito unleashed a psionic spell, and the explosion blasted out the nearest North City Allied troops.
"And you too!"
Vito waved his hand again, and two bursts of psionic energy instantly struck the ambushing snipers.
The Life-Chasing Insect had already locked onto the enemy the moment he made his move; now all he needed to do was kill.
"Kill!" Long Shan shouted, leading the charge with fierce courage.
Hiding here is no longer useful. After all, a level 9 super enemy cannot be killed by conventional firearms, and they have already used up all their artillery firepower. Only individual soldiers entering the fray can determine the outcome of this crucial battle.
"kill!"
Long Lei and the others, who were being targeted by the Life-Chasing Worms, put away their weapons and began to move quickly to avoid becoming easy targets.
"You dare to retaliate? Then we'll show you humans are utterly useless except for your scheming and trickery!"
Vito made his move. He was a rare dual-elemental Awakener, with nearly 1,400 physical strength and just over 1,000 spiritual energy. The combination of these two made him like a war god.
"Insects, you can't even withstand one of my moves!" Vito threw a punch at Longshan.
Long Shan had considered that the speed of a super ninth-level Holy Spirit would be very fast, but when he actually faced it, it was still beyond his expectations. By the time he saw the lightning-fast punch, the fist had already reached his face.
He couldn't dodge it, but his long-standing fighting instincts allowed him to sidestep, though he still couldn't completely avoid the punch.
Bang!
Longshan was thrown about like a rag doll, severely injured by a single punch. If it weren't for the help of others, Vito would have even gone so far as to kill him outright.
The situation is completely one-sided!
People from the Northern City Allied Forces kept getting beaten until they coughed up blood, but not one of them retreated because of their injuries. Even in the precarious situation of Longshan, he continued to adjust his state and wait for an opportunity to strike.
"It's completely one-sided. What makes them so confident that they dare to face this super ninth-tier Holy Spirit?" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but wonder. If they weren't confident, it was obviously the wisest choice to run away. Although there would be casualties, they wouldn't be completely wiped out.
Vito went all out, in fact, he was so enraged that he lost his mind. He had led a team of six, but now only he was left with any fighting ability. Only blood could wash away this humiliation.
"Do you think you can kill me with a combined attack?" Vito asked with a sinister smile.
When the combined attack technique was announced, Longshan and the others all looked extremely solemn.
Their trump card was their combined attack, but now the opponent has discovered it. And judging from the opponent's fearless appearance, they are clearly not afraid of this so-called trump card at all.
"Don't listen to his instigation, prepare to unleash the Dragon's Roar!"
Long Lei's roar as he rushed back to the battlefield was like a thunderclap, instantly snapping the other bewildered North City Allied troops back to their senses.
“I’ll lead!” Long Lei stopped firmly in front of Vito, the two of them no more than a hundred meters apart.
At this distance, even if Vito could hit him with a single blow, he would still go without hesitation for the sake of the greater good.
"I am the dragon's neck!"
With another person securing their position, the team's fighting spirit began to rise, showing a trend of becoming a formidable force.
"I am a dragon!"
"I am the dragon's claw!"
"I am the dragon's tail!"
"I am the Dragon Soul!"
The nine Allied soldiers in the North City occupied a strategic position, confronting Vito head-on.
"So that's how it is!" Jiang Yuan finally discovered the special point: all nine members of the North City Allied Forces possessed a dragon-like bloodline, and they had also set up the Nine Dragons Formation. If they combined their bloodline power, they might actually be able to kill this super ninth-tier!
"Dragon Transformation!"
Starting with Long Lei, the people in the Nine Dragons Formation gradually activated their bloodlines.
"I knew you'd come up with this attack. Let's see who has the last laugh!"
Vito showed no fear, unleashing his full power and spiritual energy before charging forward with a fierce shout.
"Nine Dragons Formation, Dragon Head Slayer!"
