Chapter 385: Sudden Battle(II)
Under the rain of arrows, wounds started piling on the bulls. Some would clang against their heavy armor and bounce away harmlessly, while others pierced it.
Then came the sword sea.
Under countless banging, most bulls in front laid dead while a few behind were also injured. But the fire-lighting bull was a type of immortal beast that the more it was injured the ferocious it became!
They didn’t know the meaning of retreat, pushing further regardless of danger.
The ranged a.s.sault repeated a few more times, felling hundreds of bulls under the sharp strikes.
When the fire-lighting bulls were upon the enemy, Shan Qingfeng ordered, “Activate the array!”
They were the Heavenly Court, and there was no way for them to lack an array master.
A river fell from the sky, smack into the middle of the bulls!
The wide river pounded with immense weight into the bulls, yet they were unable to make the bulls fall back!
Chen Ming rose an eyebrow at this, Array, is it?
It was Heavenly Court’s famous Heavenly River Array, using the water in the Galaxy as a weapon. The Heavenly River’s water was the star fragments that flowed around the Galaxy akin to a river. It was of incredible weight, and even an immortal would be barely alive after falling inside.
It was fortunate the first charge was formed of fire-lighting bulls, with their thick hides and bulky muscles to withstand it.
Chen Ming was next to Yang Hun, observing the enemy’s troop formation. Among them, a group of heavily armored men guarded a dozen Celestial Immortals who held an array disk with closed eyes.
This was when Yang Hun’s dominance came into play.
Chen Ming pointed at one, the core of the array. Suck minor gimmick, like seeing through arrays, was the least Chen Ming could do.
“Kill him!”
Yang Hun nocked a normal immortal arrow. The wolf fang arrows were meant for someone else.
The arrow pierced the Heavenly River, pa.s.sed through three heavenly soldiers, and nailed Chen Ming’s target!
The arrow carried him far into the distance, robed of his last breath.
The Heavenly River vanished without notice and the bulls, with newfound fire in their eyes, trampled anything in their path.
Shan Qingfeng eyed Chen Ming’s shadow, “This Faceless is knowledgeable! He can even find the array core!”
Shan Qingfeng wasn’t about to be careless, “Heavy Division, ready spears!”
The soldiers withdrew their bows and grabbed the spears on their backs. With the tips hanging above the row of soldiers in front, they formed a wall of spikes to welcome the fire-lighting bulls.
Despite only two thousand bulls remaining, their violent charge never diminished, even as they witnessed blood being spilled from their dead friends!
More bulls came from behind. The heavenly soldiers thrust their spears and repelled the first wave of bulls.
Lu Qingxuan was observing the front, looking for a gap to exploit, a c.h.i.n.k in the armor through which he could drive his halberd.
Chen Ming hadn’t got a full grasp behind a Gold Immortal’s danger value, but he caught the slight fear Lu Qingxuan had for this spear formation. My thoughts were correct. The smaller the danger value gap, the greater the effect of auras.
Then again, what Gold Immortal wasn’t wrapped in aura hues?
If enough Earth Immortals gathered they could harm a Gold Immortal.
Chen Ming turned to Li Suyi, “Ba, la, ba, la (Corner him)!”
Li Suyi roared, “Snarl, roar, (Right and left wings, charge)!”
They were able to defeat the first wave, but this wasn’t a guarantee for future attacks. These were immortal beasts, with bodies bursting with power surpa.s.sing that of cultivators.
The bulls in front collapsed but those behind never wavered.
They stomped over their fellows’ corpses finally giving the heavenly soldiers a taste of pain. When the line was broken, a gap soon emerged in the enemy’s army.
Shan Qingfeng watched anxiously, They played the suicide card!
They didn’t care about these immortal beasts and wanted to pile them over them and take their lives.
But seeing their numbers, Shan Qingfeng understood where this came from.
Of the three thousand fire-lightning bulls, a third was left. The frontline sported a small opening but it wasn’t enough to collapse it. They just had to endure this final stretch then victory wasn’t far away.
A Dragon Horse plugged the said gap in a single leap. Lu Qingxuan spun Heaven-drawn Halberd as he spurred his mount forward. Creating a veritable tornado of steel, he plowed through the heavenly soldiers.
Shan Qingfeng raged, “d.a.m.n it!”
He grabbed the golden spear tighter and rushed to intercept Lu Qingxuan. Yang Hun wasn’t about to let that happen, readying a triple shot.
The arrows broke the s.p.a.ce, giving Shan Qingfeng an eerie feeling of danger and forced him into blocking.
That’s the archer who shot the array core!
Shan Qingfeng never slacked his concentration, shining golden with every slam of his spear at the arrows.
Yang Hun said, “Without the wolf fang arrows, they can only delay him.”
Yang Hun didn’t switch ammo. Sire Faceless said there’s a Blade hiding in the darkness. It was the retainer of another Faceless.
The wolf fang arrows are for him!
With Shan Qingfeng busy, Lu Qingxuan went wild in joy and slaughter. He went through the front line like a sharp dagger, making way for the Celestial Immortals behind him.
Lu Qingxuan’s brilliant halberd skill while mounted widened the gap.
He crushed the Heavy Division and descended on the Flying Sword Division, the division that posed the greatest danger.
They needed time to launch their swords while he needed none.
The fifteen-foot-long Heaven-drawn Halberd on Lu Qingxuan’s hand reaped through them like they were nothing. In no time at all, the Flying Sword Division was no more.
Heavenly Court’s front collapsed in chaos!
It was at that moment when hordes of immortal beasts came at them in a pincer attack!
