862: Clear (III)

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A piercing sound of rushing wind rose.

Seven spears, condensed from dark, evil power, tore through the air, piercing the Guardian Array's defensive barrier, and rapidly shot towards Wang Chen.

Each of these spears was incredibly solid, containing explosive power, and wherever they passed, they even carved a vacuum tunnel in the air, with a long trail of Qi waves behind them.

Such an attack, if the Unicorn Rhino Demon, known for its thick hide and flesh, which Wang Chen had encountered before, were here, it would have been directly torn to shreds, leaving no bones.

However...

Such an attack was simply not worth mentioning to Wang Chen.

"Shatter!"

Wang Chen extended one hand, and surging demonic power, under his will's interference, surged like a tide, directly meeting the seven massive flying spears.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Seven explosions sounded in succession, and the seven massive spears, less than a meter from Wang Chen, exploded like fireworks, their chaotic power having no effect on Wang Chen, but instead acting on the Guardian Array's defensive barrier, causing ripples to appear in the barrier.

"This is at least a Human Race Strong of the eighth-order!"

Seeing this, the Undead Patrol Captain's eyes flashed with solemnity, but he was not worried.

This was merely the first attack, and he had not unleashed the Guardian Array's full power; moreover, he had already heard continuous footsteps behind him, and several powerful and familiar auras appeared in his perception.

The Town Chief and the Hunting Team Leader had arrived.

"Kill this Human!"

A low, authoritative voice echoed through the gathering place, and the Guardian Array's defensive barrier suddenly burst into bright light.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Hundreds of Undead Warriors who had rapidly arrived simultaneously roared skyward, then poured all their strength into the spears in their hands, charging and shooting them out.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The sounds of rushing wind connected, like a magnified hum hundreds of times over, and dense spears gathered into a dark cloud in the light of the Guardian Array's defensive barrier, pressing down on Wang Chen.

Under such a dense attack, even a practitioner who had just entered the eighth-order would be overwhelmed, or even severely wounded or killed!

But unfortunately, these Undead encountered Wang Chen.

"Are you trying to amuse me with such a drizzle-like attack?"

Wang Chen sneered, not retracting his outstretched arm but flipping his palm upwards.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The free-floating demonic power in the heavens and earth within a radius of several hundred meters was suddenly compressed to solidification by a terrifying force.

The densely falling spears, having just flown out of the Guardian Array's defensive barrier, were frozen in the sky, as if a pause button had been pressed.

"This, this, this..."

"Where did this Human Race Strong come from?"

"This power, I'm afraid it has already reached the eighth-order Peak!"

The Undead gathering place's Town Chief and the Hunting Team Leader, who had just arrived behind the patrol captain, widened their eyes, their faces filled with horror.

Their gathering place was at the lower end, or even the very bottom, in terms of strength among all Undead gathering places in the entire Demon Beast Forest.

Eighth-order Peak, that was a power they simply could not resist!

"Full-power attack! Use the Guardian Array's defensive barrier to buy time. Someone, go send a message to the adults in Blade City, requesting support from Blade City."

The Town Chief of this Undead gathering place reacted very quickly, swiftly making the optimal decision for the current situation.

Delay time, await support.

However, putting aside whether Blade City dared to send anyone, just with Wang Chen here, their attempt to delay time was a joke.

Bang, bang, bang!

Wang Chen's palm flipped again, and the spears frozen in the sky immediately changed direction.

Then, as Wang Chen pressed his arm down, these spears were immediately subjected to even greater power, smashing into the Guardian Array's defensive barrier at an even faster speed.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!!!

Amidst the harsh collision sounds, the Guardian Array's defensive barrier swayed precariously, its light visibly dimming.

Seeing this, the many Undead were dumbfounded, their eyes filled with deep horror.

Using their attacks to attack them?

Such an incredible method was simply unheard of!

Facing such a terrifying Strong, the Undead high-ranking officials of this gathering place couldn't help but feel despair.

Could they really successfully delay time until reinforcements from Blade City arrived?

Meanwhile, the Undead Warrior who went to contact Blade City, after sending out the distress signal through the communication array, was met with silence on the other end.

...

...

Blade City, on the towering city walls.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Urshan and Doreina returned to the city walls, continuing to hold the line.

However, even though there was no trace of that Human True Lord Strong outside the city, Urshan and Doreina remained worried.

All of this stemmed from what they had just seen in the City Lord's Mansion: City Lord Gugor.

Gugor's aged and weakened state made them very concerned about Blade City's predicament.

After all, as the highest authority holder of Blade City's Guardian Array, if that Human True Lord Strong attacked again and Gugor lacked the will to fight, the danger they would face would multiply.

"Should we bypass the City Lord and secretly request aid from the Holy Land?"

Urshan waved his hand, releasing power to isolate their surroundings, then turned to look at Doreina:

"If this continues, the situation will be very unfavorable for us!"

"Once the Guardian Array's core energy is depleted, the City Lord will have a chance to retreat, but we will be in extreme danger."

"Do you think that would be useful?"

Doreina, hearing this, retorted with a sneer.

She knew very well what Urshan was worried about.

If Gugor, with his ninth-order Middle Stage strength, wanted to escape, the Human True Lord in the shadows would find it difficult to capture him, and they, after Gugor escaped, one of them would suffer the same fate as Zoltan.

As for who it would be, that could only be left to fate.

And asking for help from the Holy Land, in Doreina's opinion, was not a solution at all.

Distant water cannot quench a nearby thirst!

The Holy Land was simply too far from Blade City!

The Dead Spirit Race's forces are distributed throughout the entire Netherworld; there are considerable distances between each city-level gathering place, just like the Human Race's Eight Great Sacred Grounds, which have their own territorial divisions.

The larger the territory, the more development resources one can possess.

The Dead Spirit Race's Holy Land, located in the center of the Netherworld, is more than a hundred thousand li from the Demon Beast Forest. Even if a distress signal is sent via a communication array, by the time the Holy Land discusses and dispatches personnel, even with continuous use of teleportation, it would still be at least a month later before they arrived at the Demon Beast Forest.

After all, the Dead Spirit Race is different from the Human Race; they can only be active during the night in the Netherworld, while during the day, the space they inhabit, apart from where their gathering places are, is a vast, dark void, where everything is in dormancy.
