Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Great Victory
The Ghost-devouring Demon Count swung his sword repeatedly, unleashing blasts of black Sword Qi that sliced through the strange blood threads.
After he had cut down more than a dozen of the bizarre blood threads, three more suddenly shot out from an impossible angle, piercing into the Ghost-devouring Demon Count’s body and frantically draining him.
The Ghost-devouring Demon Count shrieked as his body instantly shriveled, turning into a desiccated corpse that tumbled to the ground.
The Ghost-devouring Demon Warriors raised their Demon Spears and fired at Su Mi. An endless rain of light beams missed their mark. A dozen or so blasts managed to hit the swiftly moving Su Mi, but they only created the faintest of ripples on her Protective Blood River.
A look of admiration flashed through Shu Feng’s eyes. ’So strong! She must be the best type of powerhouse for group battles. The Blood Dominator truly lives up to her name!’
The powerhouses among the Ghost-Devouring Demon Elite army were killed by Su Mi in the first exchange. The remaining regular Warriors were completely unable to withstand the frenzied assault of the Dragon Hunting Dogs.
After Su Mi led the Dragon Hunting Dogs in a slaughter, the morale of the forty-thousand-strong army instantly collapsed, and they scattered in a desperate rout.
The slave warriors under the control of the Ghost-devouring Demon army also began to flee in a panic, their formations shattering completely.
This was when the true terror of the two thousand Dragon Hunting Dogs became apparent. They possessed frightening Physical Strength and an Extraordinary sense of smell. No matter where the Ghost-devouring Demon troops fled, the dogs would quickly track them down and kill them.
「Atop the walls of Liuguang City.」
Huo Yunling, dressed in a suit of silver battle armor, looked down upon the battlefield. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she cried out with a flash of excitement, "My lord, look! The slave legions are starting to retreat! No, they’re starting to break and scatter!!"
Although Liuguang City had only suffered a thousand casualties, the relentless, suicidal charges of the countless slave warriors had placed the city under enormous pressure.
Aside from the two Spirit Venerable Realm Powerhouses, Fang Long and Fang Yao, who had to conserve their strength and hadn’t taken action, everyone else had joined the fight, sniping the Divine Archers hidden within the slave Warrior Corps.
Huo Yunling herself had personally sniped seven Divine Archers just to hold back the slave Warrior Corps’ offensive. She had felt an immense pressure the whole time.
Now that the hundreds of thousands of slave warriors were collapsing, a wave of relief washed over Huo Yunling, and she felt a sense of exhilaration.
Fang Yao asked, "Should we give chase?"
Fang Yao was a genius when it came to cultivation, but in terms of military command, she was far inferior to Fang Long. The Commander-in-Chief of Liuguang City was Fang Long, not her.
Fang Long pondered for a moment, then decisively refused. "No! We must be prudent! Liuguang City’s forces are insufficient; we cannot afford to make a single mistake."
Liuguang City only contained thirty thousand elites from the Fang Clan. Outside the walls, however, were hundreds of thousands of slave warriors from various clans, all part of the Devouring Ghost Demon Clan’s army. Add to that the fifty thousand Ghost-Devouring Demon Elite, and the Fang Clan stood no chance in an open-field battle.
Even if the hundreds of thousands of slave warriors completely routed, there were still fifty thousand elite Ghost-devouring Demon Warriors behind them. Fang Long would naturally not risk an attack.
If the Fang Clan’s elite Warriors were defeated, Liuguang City, a metropolis with a population of over five million, would fall. The five million people inside would all become slaves to the Void Demons and might even be used as cannon fodder in the next siege. Under these circumstances, Fang Long did not dare to be the least bit careless.
Wang Hai said, "Shu Feng is gone! Could the slave army’s retreat be related to him?"
Fang Yao chuckled lightly. "It’s possible! That guy is always full of surprises."
"Let me take a look!!"
Zhou Chen chanted an incantation and spread his fingers. A black crow with three eyes and its body inscribed with mysterious Demon Patterns flew out from his hand and soared into the sky.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Chen opened his eyes, which were flashing with ecstatic joy. He laughed excitedly, "A great victory!! A great victory!! The fifty-thousand-strong Ghost-Devouring Demon Elite army has been completely routed and is being pursued by many monsters!! No, it’s Shu Feng’s Summoned Beasts, the Dragon Hunting Dogs!! Many Dragon Hunting Dogs are chasing down those Ghost-devouring Demon Warriors!!"
Zhou Chen chanted an incantation, holding his Magic Staff, and pointed towards the empty air.
A mist appeared, forming a screen in the void. On that screen, a dense mass of the Ghost-devouring Demon army was fleeing in disarray, while the two thousand Dragon Hunting Dogs were in hot pursuit from behind, cutting down one Ghost-devouring Demon after another.
Fang Long’s eyes lit up, and he ordered sternly, "Excellent! Fang Yao, take ten thousand troops and give chase!!"
"Yes!"
Fang Yao immediately responded.
Before long, the gates of Liuguang City swung wide open, and streams of Spiritual Energy Armored Vehicles, each worth billions, poured out of the city, speeding off into the distance.
The morale of the hundreds of thousands of slave warriors from the various clans had already completely collapsed. When the ten thousand elite Fang Clan Warriors commanded by Fang Yao arrived to attack, the slave warriors surrendered one after another.
After Marquis Reva’s elite corps was defeated, Shu Feng and Fang Yao joined forces, and in one fell swoop, they recaptured one Tier Two City and four Level Three Cities.
「Inside the Base Space.」
"Source Energy +500!"
"Source Energy +1,000!"
"..."
Shu Feng tossed the various resources he had plundered one by one into the Resource Dissolving Pool, triggering a series of delightful notification sounds.
’250,000 Source Energy... as expected, every Void Demon army is a massive Treasure Vault!!’
Shu Feng was in a very good mood. He picked up the Evil Sacred Artifact, the [Sinful Inverted Cross].
The moment the Evil Sacred Artifact [Sinful Inverted Cross] fell into Shu Feng’s hands, a bizarre and evil aura immediately surged out from it, attempting to corrode Shu Feng’s body and soul.
Any powerhouse with strength below the Spirit Sect Realm who came into direct contact with this [Sinful Inverted Cross] would be corroded by the strange power within it, their soul directly devoured, and their body turned into a dried corpse.
’The activation conditions for this Evil Sacred Artifact are demanding, and it requires the Power of Void Demon to activate. In my hands, it’s a bit of a white elephant. I could either dissolve it or give it to Lamata to give him another trump card.’
With a thought, Shu Feng caused a beam of scanning light to envelop the [Sinful Inverted Cross] and begin to analyze it.
"Dissolving this Secret Treasure will yield: Chaos Divinity +2, Dark Divinity +1, Evil Divinity +1, 50,000 Source Energy, and Holy Soul +1."
’Not bad! I can get 4 points of Divinity!’
Shu Feng’s eyes lit up slightly, but then his brow furrowed. ’Chaos Divinity, Dark Divinity, and Evil Divinity... these three types of Divinity don’t seem very good.’
After joining the Divine Research Association, Shu Feng had also obtained a lot of intelligence regarding Divine Spirits.
In the Gulondo World, there weren’t originally just six Divine Spirits. Aside from those six great Divine Spirits, there were also some Evil Gods whose actions were wicked and chaotic.
Although those Evil Gods were powerful, their behavior was chaotic. Not only did they enjoy killing each other, but they also took pleasure in slaughtering their own believers for amusement.
