166: Chapter 166 Desperate

"Hmm?"

Seeing a grey-black ray of light shooting towards him, Lin Xiao didn't even think, flicking his finger to send out a bloody light to meet it.

However, the grey-black ray of light seemed as if it didn't exist, passing straight through the bloody light.

Lin Xiao's figure flickered and plunged into the Void Realm.

But that grey-black ray of light seemed to have locked onto him, ignoring the barrier of the Void Realm and instantly sinking into his body.

"A locking-type mystical side attack, a curse?"

This type of attack was often impossible to guard against and difficult to block, and its power was even more astonishing.

Lin Xiao's expression changed slightly, and he quickly checked his own status. He immediately discovered that a cold aura had entered his body, but in the blink of an eye, it was obliterated by the terrifying power inside his body.

Just this?

Seeing this, Lin Xiao instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Pondering for a moment, he quickly realized that it wasn't that the curse attack wasn't strong, but rather that his body was simply too powerful.

Not only were his attributes as high as 70 million, but more importantly, the passive skills stacked on his body—even if their adaptability wasn't high, there were simply too many of them. Stacked upon one another, they made his physique terrifyingly robust and his resistances outrageously high.

Unless there was a massive gap in strength, the vast majority of mystical-side attacks should be ineffective against him.

...

"It succeeded."

On the other side, seeing his subordinate execute the curse attack, the Shadow Race First-Generation Lord wore a joyful expression.

In his view, since Lin Xiao had taken this curse attack, he was bound to die without a doubt.

"Good, attack."

The allied army seized this fleeting military opportunity and attacked Lin Xiao's army without hesitation.

The thick-skinned Iron-Backed Demon Apes and defensive Troop Types forming various military formations rushed to the very front. In the rear, countless ranged Troop Types poured out their attacks.

Lin Xiao's army showed no fear whatsoever and immediately retaliated in kind.

Black Armor Soldiers absorbed the damage, while Wind Shadow Archers and Frost Giants outputted wildly.

"Boom~"

Without any hesitation, the moment the fierce battle began, Lin Xiao's army all entered a burst state, making their offensive increasingly irresistible.

However, Doyle, Griffin, and the others didn't dare to do this, only allowing a portion of their army to enter a burst state.

After all, this place was still very far from Lin Xiao's central area.

Their army couldn't be resurrected. Once they used their burst skills but failed to breach Lin Xiao's territory, it would become extremely difficult to fight once they entered the weakness period.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

The terrifying powers collided violently, turning the nearby region into a wasteland, and the tide-like aftermath of power spread throughout the entire territory.

Under the frantic mutual assaults, whether it was Lin Xiao's side or the coalition army, people were dying every second.

In the air, Ares led the Burning Sky Flame Dragon, engaging in a tragic and fierce slaughter with the coalition army's flying Troop Types.

On the ground, Jiang Yao, Tu Lie, Zhong Yue, and others seized the right timing, charging into the enemy formation against the attacks without hesitation and beginning a massive slaughter.

Extinction Rays were also continuously shooting down.

Qian Ying was not idle either; her figure continuously flashed within the Void Realm, and all stealth units attempting to sneak into the rear amidst the chaos were executed by her own hands.

This tragic and fierce battle quickly came to an end.

Lin Xiao's army was completely wiped out, but the coalition army also lost a quarter of its main force, the majority of which were remnant troops that had previously experienced fierce battles.

"Keep killing, don't give Lin Xiao any breathing room."

Doyle, Griffin, and the others continued to press forward without hesitation, charging towards the central area at full speed.

Fifty kilometers away from the central area, Lin Xiao's resurrected army once again intercepted the coalition army.

The fierce battle erupted once more.

This time, before perishing, Lin Xiao's army took away most of the remaining Epic Units and even slaughtered hundreds of legendary grade Troop Types.

The number of the coalition army was left with only ten thousand people.

The reason for such heavy casualties was mainly because the strength of the Epic Units was simply too weak.

In this level of fierce battle, they could only unleash their full burst, otherwise, they would easily be harvested like roadside weeds.

However, after unleashing their burst, they entered a period of weakness.

Facing Lin Xiao's army in its prime state, they simply couldn't withstand it, resulting in extremely heavy casualties.

"Damn it, damn it."

"Lin Xiao's army is in its prime state the moment they resurrect; there's no way we can fight them to the death like this."

"There's no other way, we can only fight for our lives."

The coalition army had no way out and could only continue charging toward the central area, which was their only path to survival.

At this moment, the defensive buildings in Lin Xiao's territory also opened fire one after another.

Massive blazing red fireballs, thick pillars of lightning, and heaven-splitting wind blades all struck towards the coalition army.

During these days, although Lin Xiao's focus was on enhancing the strength of his heroes and Troop Types, he had also strengthened his territory's defenses, constructing several Epic Grade defensive buildings.

That legendary grade interdimensional cannon continued to be kept as a trump card; after all, at the current stage, Epic Grade defensive buildings were more cost-effective.

For the coalition army, defensive buildings of this level posed little threat.

But Lin Xiao didn't expect them to cause much damage; as long as they could play a hindering role, that was enough.

"The attacks of these defensive buildings are so precise, someone must be controlling them. Could Lin Xiao still be alive?"

A tier-6 top-tier lord said in disbelief.

Before every fierce battle, that Shadow Race First-Generation Lord would have his subordinate heroes unleash a curse attack targeting Lin Xiao. However, the battle results were unknown to him. Judging from the combat performance of Lin Xiao's army, it felt as though there was no impact at all?

This made the Shadow Race First-Generation Lord hesitate slightly.

After two fierce battles, the only one left under his command who could still perform curse attacks was a sole surviving sapling.

"Never mind all that, continue the curse-killing."

"It's the last 20 kilometers; success or failure rides on this single action, unleash your full burst."

Hearing this, there was no longer any hesitation.

That Shadow Race First-Generation Lord used up the final curse attack, and immediately, the remaining coalition army began their final burst.

"Boom~"

An incomparably terrifying aura emanated from their bodies.

Among these ten thousand people, there were still over a thousand legendary grade Troop Types and a dozen or so Legendary Heroes. Although their numbers were small, their strength was not weak in the slightest.

The distance of ten kilometers was crossed by them in the blink of an eye.

Lin Xiao's resurrected army appeared once again before the coalition army.

"Kill~"

"Wipe them out for me."

Griffin roared.

The Dark Demon Apes under his command rushed to the very front, and the legendary grade Troop Types of the others also formed military formations, closely following behind.

Both sides were engulfed in bloodlust.

The coalition army desperately wanted to slaughter their way in and destroy Lin Xiao's territory. Lin Xiao's army naturally wouldn't let them succeed; after all, the threat of legendary grade Troop Types was simply too great. If they were allowed to charge in, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even Qian Ying slaughtered her way into the battlefield, harvesting the lives of lords amidst the chaos.

Under their full obstruction, they forcibly fought the coalition army to a point where it was difficult for them to cross for a moment.

"Roar~"

Blazing flames burned on the Purgatory Demon Ape's body, instantly bursting forth with a power that filled everyone with terror. Taking advantage of Lin Xiao's army being pinned down, it rushed madly toward the central area like a small mountain.

The gazes of Griffin, Doyle, and others all fell upon the Purgatory Demon Ape filled with anticipation.

This Purgatory Demon Ape possessing super-specification combat power was the strongest killer move they had prepared. While the main force army was pinned down, Lin Xiao simply couldn't possibly resist this terrifying giant beast.

Once it broke into the central area, it would be Lin Xiao's time to die.
