Seeing the formidable soldiers led by Tianji, who swept through the enemy wherever they went, Ran Qiyue knew he couldn't continue a head-on confrontation. After stabilizing his troops, he quickly considered a strategy.
Atop the city wall, Ran Qiyue, shrouded in a black robe, stood alone. His figure seemed particularly eerie in the night. He had his eyes tightly closed, mumbling something as if casting an evil spell.
As Ran Qiyue's incantation rang out, a strange aura filled the air. The souls of the recently deceased soldiers began to slowly rise from the battlefield, their faces twisted, filled with pain and resentment.
Ran Qiyue's hands danced, and black light shot out from his hands, landing on those souls. The souls howled in pain, their bodies gradually became twisted and deformed, and were eventually transformed into evil spirits.
These evil spirits exuded a terrifying aura, their eyes flashing red, and black flames spewed from their mouths. They pounced on the surroundings with their fangs and claws bared, as if they wanted to destroy everything.
Ran Qiyue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile. He looked at the scene before him, secretly glad that his decision was correct. He knew that this war was no longer a simple contest of strength, but a struggle for life and death. And he had no way out.
Under the city wall, the rebel soldiers under Tianji watched this scene in horror. They felt an unprecedented fear, but their sense of mission made them overcome this fear. They waved their weapons and resisted the attacks of the evil spirits.
However, the resentment of the evil spirits was so great that the evil power they used to attack the rebel soldiers was also very strong. Although the rebel soldiers fought bravely, they had little effect and soon some were injured, bleeding or even died.
Ran Qiyue, however, stood on the city wall, watching all this with a cold smile on his face. His laughter echoed across the battlefield, as if mocking the rebels' presumption.
"Hahaha...you ants, you still want to fight with me? You are overestimating yourselves!" Ran Qiyue laughed arrogantly.
"Brother Li, we must capture the leader first. You go deal with Ran Qiyue, and I will deal with those Zhaoyang soldiers and evil spirits."
Hua Qingcheng looked anxiously at Mu Lige beside her. The situation on the battlefield had changed dramatically because of Ran Qiyue's appearance, and they had to find a way to solve it as soon as possible.
Mu Lige and Hua Qingcheng were in tune with each other. When he heard Hua Qingcheng's words, he immediately looked at her and nodded, indicating that he understood what the other person meant.
The two men flashed and rushed towards the city wall.
The next moment, Mu Lige quickly grabbed Hua Qingcheng's slender waist, and using his lightness skills, he flew with her to the top of the city wall.
When they reached the city wall, Mu Lige swung the Soul-Chasing Sword without hesitation, slashing straight at Ran Qiyue's face. His sword moves were incredibly sharp, carrying an overwhelming momentum that seemed to rip through the air.
Meanwhile, Hua Qingcheng wasn't idle either. She quickly retrieved her zither from the space and sat cross-legged on the city wall. Hua Qingcheng lifted her bare hands, her fingers dancing swiftly across the strings. In an instant, beautiful melodies flowed from her fingertips. The melodious sound was like the sound of nature, enchanting.
Hua Qingcheng's piano music was like the sounds of nature, ethereal and graceful, like the gurgling of a clear stream through the mountains, or the melodious song of birdsong lingering in the valleys, bringing endless enjoyment. Each note was like a leaping spirit, dancing lightly in the air, immersing the entire world in a sea of music. This beautiful melody seemed to possess a magical power, able to penetrate the hardened defenses of the human heart and destroy all evil.
On this battlefield rife with tension and fear, Hua Qingcheng's piano music was like a spring breeze sweeping across the land, bringing hope and warmth to the people. The soldiers' faces, once solemn and tense, gradually relaxed as the music played. They closed their eyes, lost in the world of music, feeling a deep sense of peace and tranquility.
The soldiers, once on edge, and the demonic spirits wreaking havoc among the rebels, gradually relaxed their taut nerves under the influence of the piano music. Their eyes softened, and their hostility gradually dissipated. The original confrontation and hostility were dissolved by the beautiful piano music, replaced by a sense of calm and tranquility.
At that moment, all disputes, contradictions, and conflicts seemed to vanish. The soldiers laid down their weapons, and the evil spirits ceased their attacks. They all bathed in the music of Hua Qingcheng's piano, feeling the radiance and warmth of humanity. The music was like sunlight penetrating dark clouds, illuminating everyone's heart; it was like a spring breeze blowing away the haze in everyone's hearts.
Hua Qingcheng's piano music was like a pair of gentle hands, gently soothing the weary soldiers' souls and dispelling the hostility of the evil spirits. They lost themselves in the beautiful music, forgetting the cruelty and tension of war. As the music continued, the soldiers' hearts were freed, and the kindness and beauty of the evil spirits were summoned. They began to reflect on their actions and appreciate the preciousness of peace.
Ran Qiyue stared at everything in front of him in shock. Hua Qingcheng's music not only touched the ordinary soldiers and evil spirits, but also Ran Qiyue. The madness and obsession in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of confusion.
However, after a brief moment of confusion, Ran Qiyue quickly regained his sinister and ruthless demeanor, emanating a chilling aura that seemed to freeze everything around him. Mu Lige, facing him, wielded the Soul-Chasing Sword with unstoppable force. He approached Ran Qiyue once again, piercing her vital points with unwavering murderous intent.
