"Giant crossbowmen, prepare! There's a half-step Divine Lord general in their army!"
Xiu Lie's imposing momentum was seriously too powerful. Wang Yifeng saw it with one glance and could not help raising the vigilance.
These giant crossbows were produced by human artifact refining masters. It had extremely strong lethality towards half-step Divine Lord powerhouses too.
Although half-step Divine Lord powerhouses were able to fly in the air, unless they had no other alternatives, they would not charge forward.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The fiend race army's battle-cries shook the skies, rushing below the city walls very quickly.
Xiu Lie yelled in a cold voice, "Fiend Dragon Throwing Spear, shoot!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
The fiend race naturally had large-scale siege equipments too. They carried them with large-scale storage spaces.
It was only to see one throwing spear after another shoot out fiercely, directly nailing on the city walls.
There was a small portion that flew right over the city walls, directly stabbing to death a large swarm of human soldiers.
With these throwing spears, those fiend powerhouses would be able to climb up.
Deity Realm powerhouses could not fly, but their strengths were much stronger than mortals.
As long as they were given a pivot point, they would be able to jump up the city walls very quickly.
A tragic great battle immediately commenced.
While at this time, Ye Yuan was currently on a hill not far away from the city, observing the situation of the entire battle.
"Looks like this side can't hold on until the reinforcements come at all!" Ye Yuan made his own judgment very quickly.
"The fiend race are indeed natural warriors. Their skin is coarse and their flesh is thick. Furthermore, their fiend souls are very powerful. They are very difficult to kill. Humans are indeed a little weak when placed in front of them," Dustless said.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Luckily, I had some preparations along the way. Otherwise, I'd really be at a loss on what to do at this time."
Dustless also smiled and said, "You punk, you're really meticulous in doing things. Even I also didn't think about things to prepare for dealing with the fiend race."
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "This is called preparedness averts peril!"
On the way to Tiderain City, Ye Yuan consulted Dustless about the fiend race's weaknesses.
Along the way, he had indeed made quite a bit of preparation.
Now, it indeed came in handy!
Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove and Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang had fought for many years. He was naturally well-aware of the fiend race's weaknesses.
Fortunately, there were quite a few divine essence stones given by the Myriad Treasure Tower in Ye Yuan's hands. He collected quite a few good stuff along the way in various cities.
Ye Yuan took out a small bottle. Inside the small bottle was full of green powder.
"Heh heh, this bottle of Spiriteye Green Soul Powder is probably enough for them to choke on!"
Ye Yuan smiled and opened the vial. Those emerald-green fine powder went with the wind very soon, flying into the fiend race's main camp.
Chapter 1470 - Heavy Casualties
"The fiend dogs came up! F*cking fellows!"
"Fight it out with them!"
The fiend race's numbers were too many. Even with powerful bow and arrows suppressing, the fiend race soldiers scaled up the city walls very quickly as well.
Following that was fighting in close quarters!
Once they could not defend this first wave, their line of defense would be utterly crushed.
"Pfft!"
A human soldier hacked at a fiend captain with a slash, shouting excitedly, "Why is this fiend dog so weak?"
"My side too!"
"So weak, one chop and it's done!"
"Hahaha, so weak! Chopping so satisfyingly!"
...
On the city wall came the human soldiers' excited shouting.
When Wang Yifeng saw those fiends rush up so quickly, just now, his expression changed drastically too.
But he did not expect that these fiends that climbed up were so weak.
Wang Yifeng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The southern city that side definitely could not be counted on. He could only rely on these people to guard the northern city now!
The most important thing was that there was a fiend race army here. Then the people sent to Kangding City to request reinforcements were definitely disposed of already.
They already became an isolated city now!
Originally, seeing the fiend soldiers climb up to the top of city walls, Xiu Lie was overjoyed in his heart.
But very soon, his smile turned stiff on his face. Because the first wave of attack was repelled very quickly.
He could not understand what in the world happened.
Victory was clearly in sight. In a twinkle, it ended up in smoke.
This wave directly lost several thousand people. Xiu Lie's heart was dripping blood.
He did not have a source of troops to replenish currently. One dead was one less!
"Charge again for me! Charge up in one vigorous effect! Fiend Dragon Throwing Spears, continue firing for me!" Xiu Lie roared.
Another large wave of assault, the circ.u.mstances were shockingly similar to just now.
A large wave of people had clearly rushed up to the top of the city walls. They went up fast, but was defeated even faster!
Once they went up to the top of the city walls, it should have been like a hot knife cutting through butter. But the fiend soldiers all seemed to wane, directly deflating.
Xiu Lie's eyes stared like wide-saucers as he roared angrily, "Charge for me! Whoever dares to take a step back, kill without mercy!"
Boom!
Xiu Lie raised his hand and it was a palm, decimating quite a number of fiend soldiers who were currently running back.
Those fiend soldiers were at a loss on what to do and could only turn around and charge in the direction of the city walls.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
It was another round of arrow flurry on the city walls, exploding on the fiend soldiers' bodies.
"Your Excellency, we can't charge anymore!" shouted a commander as he sprinted wildly to Xiu Lie's side.
Xiu Lie's brows furrowed and he said in a solemn voice, "What in the world is going on?"
That commander said with a face full of sorrow, "It's Spiriteye Green Soul Powder! Somebody spread Spiriteye Green Soul Powder at the wind-gap!"
The moment Xiu Lie heard, his expression changed greatly and he shouted fiercely, "Come back! All come back for me!"
Those fiend soldiers were just about to rush up. Hearing Xiu Lie's roar, they immediately turned around and ran back.
This back and forth was like walking a dog, looking incomparably comical.
"Hahaha! Fiend dogs, come on up!"
"Weren't you very fierce just now? Come on up! Grandpa is waiting for you here!"
"A bunch of craven dogs, you all come up! Weren't you very c.o.c.ky earlier?"
...
On top of the city walls, the human soldiers all started shouting excitedly.
Repelling the fiend race's two waves of offensive in a row, killing five to six thousand fiends, each and every one of them was incomparably excited.
The human's side only paid a very small price.
Although they won rather bafflingly, this did not hinder their extremely swelled up mentality.
Xiu Lie's expression was unbelievably grim as he asked that commander, "You're sure that it's the Spiriteye Green Soul Powder?"
That commander said, "Absolutely! Furthermore, this Spiriteye Green Soul Powder's purity is very high. Just now, I only s.u.c.k.e.d in a small mouthful and almost can't muster up any fiendish essence!"
Xiu Lie drew a cold breath and said in shock, "So powerful? How can there possibly
be someone who grasps the Spiriteye Green Soul Powder's refining method among the humans?"
Spiriteye Green Soul Powder did not have any effect on humans. But against fiends, especially low-ranking fiends, it had a terrifying effect.
Once this thing drifted along with the wind, it would become colorless and tasteless.
Even inhaling a grain of powder would also make the fiend's fiendish essence unable to muster up, and could only be at people's mercy.
However, while this thing was formidable, even in the fiend race, extremely few people were able to refine it too.
In fact, those who knew that it existed were very few as well.
He did not expect that there was actually someone who knew how to refine Spiriteye Green Soul Powder. This was simply grievous news to them.
"Damn it! Who the hell is it, opposing us in every way?"
Xiu Lie was simply almost going crazy. This invisible opponent made him feel extremely uneasy.
First was cutting off his path of retreat, then was the Spiriteye Green Soul Powder. This guy still had no idea how many methods!
At this point, Xiu Lie would rather have a good fight with the other party.
But, he did not know who the opponent was at all!
"Your Excellency, what should we do now?" asked a subordinate who was also at a complete loss.
Xiu Lie's expression flickered incessantly. Suddenly, he made up his mind and said in a solemn voice, "Whole army, launch an attack! Everyone, hold your breath and charge up in one vigorous effort! They only have several thousand people. As long as we can charge inside, Tiderain City will definitely be captured! All of the Origin Deity Realm commanders charge in front for me!"
The subordinates' expressions changed and they said, "Your Excellency, do you have assurance in avoiding the giant crossbows?"
Xiu Lie said solemnly, "No assurance! But carry on waiting and we're still dead! This hidden opponent is too terrifying. I feel that we've always been led by the nose by him. He clearly wants to delay us right now. Most likely … the reinforcements are already on the way!"
The subordinates were taken aback with horror and said, "No way! The people sent out of the city to request for reinforcements were all disposed of by us!"
Xiu Lie's expression was very ugly as he said, "We have no way out anymore! Not capturing the city, we'll have to die! Can't carry on wasting time! Attack!"
"Yes!"
Under Xiu Lie's command, all of the commanders followed him and charged straight out.
Xiu Lie came before the army and shouted fiercely, "Everyone, follow me! You're not allowed to take a step back! Kill!"
Done talking, he leaped, directly flying toward the city walls!
Wang Yifeng's expression changed and he said sternly, "Giant crossbowmen, shoot him down for me!"
Swoosh!
A terrifying sharp arrow tore through the air and arrived, with virtually no time interval!
A mighty expert like Xiu Lie was too late to even react and only had time to slant his body a bit.
"Pfft!"
Xiu Lie gave a muffled groan. A large hole was directly shot out in his c.h.e.s.t!
Wang Yifeng sighed in pity inwardly. If it could hit Xiu Lie's vital areas, it would be able to take his life.
But this blow already heavily injured Xiu Lie.
In this short while, a group of commanders already leaped up to the top of city walls. Those fiend soldiers followed closely behind.
Of course, the price paid was very heavy too.
This wave of attack, the fiend race had a large group of casualties again, and already lost one-third!
The Spiriteye Green Soul Powder was still continuing. A large swathe of fiend soldiers that rushed up the city walls fell down again.
Xiu Lie ignored the injuries on his body, leaping up, directly flying up to the top of city walls.
But at this time, a figure quietly circled around to the back of the fiend race army.
Chapter 1471 - One Man, One Army!
Swoosh!
Ye Yuan turned into an afterimage, charging over from the back of the fiend army.
With this, Ye Yuan went all out, sword energy roaming unobstructed, directly downing a large strip.
The fiends swarmed out in full force and were already minding their heads and disregarding their rear-end. The back of the army was very hollow.
The Origin Deity Realm commanders already rushed under the city walls at this time. At the back were mostly Grotto Profound Realm and Heaven Glimpse Realm existences.
Ye Yuan, one person and one sword, was akin to a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing until the sky and earth dimmed.
In front of him, there was not an opponent who could last one exchange.
One Sundering Stars charging out directly reaped a large group of fiend soldiers. Wailing sounds echoed together.
"Not good! There's a human army sneak attacking at the back!"
"Army my *ss! There's only one person!"
"One person? Still waiting for what? Attack together and kill him!"
...
Ye Yuan carved out the effect of an army by himself.
His speed of charging forward was extremely fast. Very soon, he charged to the central region of the fiend army.
The opponents he encountered were also getting more and more. There were even some thousand-man commanders whose strength already reached grand completion Heaven Glimpse.
But after Ye Yuan broke through to middle-stage Heaven Glimpse, his strength increased greatly.
Grand completion Heaven Glimpse powerhouses could only cause a bit of hindrance to him.
His movement technique was too fast. Those grand completion Heaven Glimpse powerhouses could not catch up with his footsteps at all.
"Not good! Quickly stop him! He wants to destroy the fiend crossbows!" shouted a thousand-man commander.
A group of fiend soldiers was taken aback with horror, blocking Ye Yuan's path like tidewater.
What that thousand-man commander said was right, Ye Yuan's target was precisely the fiend crossbows firing the Fiend Dragon Throwing Spears!
This thing caused too much harm to the human soldiers. If not for these fiend crossbows, it would also be impossible for the fiend soldiers to scale up the city walls so quickly.
Sure enough, the swarming tactic worked!
Ye Yuan's path was blocked by countless fiend soldiers.
Ye Yuan's strength was strong, but he was just one person after all.
The fiend soldiers ahead could not be killed entirely at all.
Finally, Ye Yuan's speed slowed down.
He was still several hundred feet away from those fiend crossbows. But this distance of several hundred feet was like at the far end of the horizon.
He killed a large swarm and even more fiend soldiers came up to block again.
"He can't push anymore! This human is so strong! Use swarming tactic to exhaust him to death!"
"Everybody attack together! He already can't escape! Rushing in alone, no matter how strong, it's also delivering himself to death!"
"Kill, kill, kill! Kill this human!"
...
Not only did Ye Yuan's slaughter not make these fiends afraid, but it also stimulated their devilish nature even more instead, all rushing over like they were crazy.
"Heh, human-wave tactic, is it?"
Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh. But the movements of his hands did not slow down in the slightest, continuously reaping the lives of the fiend soldiers.
From Ye Yuan rushing into heavy encirclement until now, it was merely a short several dozen breaths. Ye Yuan already killed hundreds of people.
This kind of lethality virtually rivals a small-scale troop.
But even if the small-scale army could achieve this result, they would definitely be wiped out by the fiends at this time too.
But Ye Yuan was perfectly unscathed currently.
Chasing Moon!
In the crowd, Ye Yuan's figur
e suddenly erupted, charging toward a grand completion thousand-man commander with inconceivable speed.
That thousand-man commander never thought that Ye Yuan could actually still release such a stunning move under everyone's besieging.
Pfft!
Caught unprepared, his head was directly exploded by Ye Yuan, his body falling weakly onto the ground.
Those fiend soldiers were all shocked until they could not close their mouths. A powerful thousand-man commander was actually one-shotted in one exchange?
This human was truly a little too freakish, right?
In this dazed short while, Ye Yuan already sped towards the fiend crossbows like lightning!
A distance of several hundred feet was merely a matter of a twinkle to Ye Yuan.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ye Yuan released several Sundering Stars like lightning, directly hacking those fiend crossbows into pieces.
Although those fiend crossbows were powerful, they were merely profound divine artifact grade sieging weapons, having weak defensive power.
With Ye Yuan's strength, destroying them were merely a matter of a wave of a hand.
And at this time, the top of the city walls already entered a white-hot stage. Both parties already entered the state of hand-to-hand fighting.
Those Origin Deity Realm powerhouses directly slaughtered into the human army, all incomparably powerful.
But in this kind of war, Origin Deity Realms were not invincible.
Such intense fighting, they would be forcefully exhausted to death by the human soldiers.
Hence, they needed a continuous stream of reinforcements to join in before they could press forth irresistibly.
But those Origin Deity Realm commanders suddenly discovered that the fiend army that joined in behind them did not seem to be many.
Furthermore, why did the Fiend Dragon Throwing Spears stop firing?
Turning back to look, their hearts immediately went cold.
They were on the city walls, the situation below was clear at a glance.
The back of the fiend army, a large number of fiend soldiers had fallen into a big mess!
What was going on?
That large swarm of fiend soldiers was probably no fewer than five to six thousand people!
The fiend race's losses already exceeded 10 thousand with the repeated assaults. There were only less than 20 thousand people left.
