Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Beast Tide

But Ye Feng raised a hand to stop Xia Xingyu and said calmly, "I told you, I alone am enough to deal with these ants!"

"At a time like this, can you stop bragging?" Xia Xingyu roared furiously, glaring at Ye Feng.

But Ye Feng paid her no mind. He formed a hand seal with his right hand and began to chant. The next moment, he roared, "Ten Thousand Ghosts Annihilation Array, activate!"

Instantly, countless streams of black mist shot into the sky, swiftly enveloping the charging coalition soldiers.

Xia Xingyu frowned. "Can this kind of smokescreen really stop their ten-million-strong army?"

Xia Yanran’s eyes lit up, however. She leaned close to Xia Xingyu’s ear and whispered a few words. Xia Xingyu’s eyes immediately filled with astonishment. "Is everything you said true?"

Xia Yanran smiled and nodded. "Just watch and you’ll see!"

At the rear, Li Hao looked at Ye Feng and sneered, "What a pointless mystery. You think you can stop my ten-million-strong army with these cheap tricks? You’re dreaming!

Soldiers, charge! Charge! Charge!"

But before his voice could fade, a series of blood-curdling screams erupted from within the black mist, followed by the gruesome sound of chewing bones. Soon, the mist fell silent, and the thick stench of blood wafted out from it.

Seeing this, Li Hao froze. ’Can this black mist actually kill people?’

Just then, the operations officer beside him shouted frantically, "Your Highness, we just received word! Vice Marshal Roman’s forces have been completely wiped out at Nine Peaks Mountain..."

"Impossible!" Li Hao shrieked. "The Vice Marshal was leading a full five million troops, while the Malaysian defenders number less than a million! How could they possibly annihilate our coalition forces?"?

The operations officer gritted his teeth. "Of those five million soldiers, most of them died inside this very array!"

’It’s that terrifying?’ Li Hao’s pupils constricted, his eyes now filled with dread.

The operations officer said hurriedly, "Your Highness, this array is indeed terrifying, but it requires the user’s Spiritual Power to sustain it. When Ye Feng’s Spiritual Power is depleted, the array will dissipate!"

Li Hao nodded, gritting his teeth. "Fine. Order the army to fall back. We’ll wait until his Spiritual Power runs out. Then, I’ll slice him to pieces to quench the hatred in my heart!"

The operations officer quickly relayed the command, and the coalition forces retreated in an orderly fashion.

From the rear, Xia Xingyu stared at Ye Feng, her eyes filled with shock. ’Did he really make the entire coalition army retreat all by himself?’

Just then, however, Xia Yanran shook her head and sighed. "Sis, unfortunately, the array requires Ye Feng’s Spiritual Power to sustain it. The moment his power is depleted, the array will vanish!"

A flicker of disappointment crossed Xia Xingyu’s eyes but vanished just as quickly. She nodded. "Ye Feng trapped and killed a full five hundred thousand enemy soldiers on his own. That has already helped us immensely. Now, it’s our turn to fight with everything we have!"

At that moment, however, the black mist began to thin, visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Li Hao, at the rear, burst out laughing. "You piece of trash, you finally can’t take it anymore, can you? Just you wait. In a little while, I’m going to slice you into a thousand pieces..."

But Ye Feng paid him no mind, suddenly uttering a series of obscure and unintelligible incantations. The next moment, he roared, "By my command, come forth!"

Li Hao looked at Ye Feng and sneered, "No matter what tricks you pull, you can’t change the fact that you are going to die. All troops, hear my command! Prepare to charge!"

But before his voice could fade, the roars of wild beasts rose one after another from Lion Peak, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps. The footfalls were so heavy that the very earth began to tremble.

Li Hao was confused, but the operations officer beside him pointed into the distance and shrieked:

"Marshal, look!"

Li Hao glanced in the direction the operations officer was pointing and, in the next instant, his face turned pale with horror.

He saw innumerable wild beasts—wolves, tigers, leopards, black bears, and elephants—surging madly from the forest, pouncing on the coalition soldiers.

Caught completely off guard, vast swathes of coalition soldiers were instantly pounced upon and overwhelmed by the beasts.

In the next moment, the roars of the beasts and the screams of the coalition soldiers filled the air!

Li Hao flew into a rage and roared, "Hold them back! Hold them back!"

But the beasts were either massive and thick-skinned or incredibly fast. The coalition soldiers could barely inflict any damage on them, and more and more of their men fell.

From the rear, Li Hao watched helplessly as countless coalition soldiers had their heads bitten off by the beasts, their hearts torn out, and others were trampled into paste by elephants and black bears. In a matter of minutes, the coalition had suffered a million casualties. The battlefield had instantly become an Asura’s hell.

In just ten-odd minutes, the coalition forces had lost more than half their numbers.

Seeing his forces suffer such catastrophic losses, Li Hao’s heart bled.

Just then, the operations officer pointed at Ye Feng and said through gritted teeth, "Marshal, it must be that bastard’s doing again! As long as we kill the culprit, the beast tide will surely retreat!"

Li Hao whipped his head around to stare at Ye Feng, his eyes instantly turning blood-red. "Fine! You piece of trash! Today, I will personally tear you limb from limb!"

He then roared, "Soldiers, charge! Whoever takes this bastard’s head will be promoted eight ranks and receive a reward of one billion!"

Hearing such a massive reward, the soldiers became frenzied, as if injected with a stimulant. Roaring, they waved their weapons and charged toward Ye Feng.

Seeing this from the rear, Xia Xingyu roared, "Soldiers, with me! Protect Ye Feng!"

She could see it now. ’This Ye Feng is practically a killing machine... an absolute treasure! How can I let anything happen to him?’

She was just about to lead her men forward when she saw Wei Qinglong and a group of others quickly place a pile of paper effigies on the ground. He then turned to Ye Feng and said respectfully,

"Marshal, everything is in place!"

Ye Feng nodded slightly, began chanting, and in the next instant, pointed his right hand at the paper figures and roared, "Go!"

Instantly, tens of thousands of paper figures floated eerily to their feet, expanding to the size of normal people.

Ye Feng pointed his right hand toward the coalition soldiers. "Go!"

Upon hearing the command, the paper figures shot toward the coalition soldiers like lightning.

Seeing this from the rear, Li Hao burst out laughing. "You piece of trash, have you finally run out of tricks? You’re actually using paper figures to fight my grand army? Do you think that will work?

Let me tell you, it’s useless!"

He then roared, "Soldiers, tear those paper things to shreds!"

The coalition soldiers at the front swung their sabers, slashing down at the approaching paper figures.

They were fully confident they could slice the paper figures in two, but to their astonishment, the figures were incredibly nimble. They easily dodged the attacks, then began clawing and biting at the coalition soldiers.

Li Hao, at the rear, threw his head back and laughed. "You piece of trash, are you planning to have your twenty thousand paper figures bite my five million men to death? You really are an idiot! HA HA HA..."

But his laughter had barely died down when the operations officer shrieked, "Your Highness, look!"

Li Hao looked down in the direction the operations officer was pointing. The next instant, his pupils contracted violently.
