Chapter 257: Engage! Going All Out! (1)

Deep within the cave.

"Three Spiritual Body devil soldiers?" Wu Yuan’s expression shifted. He quickly extended his Soul Force to perceive the area within a ten-li radius.

Through his Soul Force, he witnessed countless frightened civilians and martial artists in a state of panic, scrambling for safety.

At the same time, Wu Yuan sensed the invisible heaven and earth's power manifesting as a faint white fog, cloaking an expanse spanning a radius of dozens of li around North Huang City. It was unmistakably a mind confusion array.

Why are these devil soldiers in North Huang City? The devil zone is at least 2000 li from here. Thoughts flashed through Wu Yuan's mind. However, he knew that Qiong Sea King wouldn’t lie to him. They were here!

Three Spiritual Body devil soldiers? Wu Yuan's eyes gleamed with a hint of frost. Let’s see just how many Spiritual Body devil soldiers this worm devil can raise.

Raising Communion devil soldiers wasn’t a difficult task for the worm devil, but raising a single Spiritual Body soldier likely proved more challenging than raising dozens of ninth-stage Communion devil soldiers.

Based on Wu Yuan's estimations, there wouldn’t be more than ten Spiritual Body devil soldiers under the worm devil's command.

Having made up his mind, Wu Yuan rose from his seat, leaped out of the cave, and soared into the sky. His gaze swept across the four corners of the land. If unimpeded, his vision extended more than 1000 li away.

Even with a thin veil of white fog shrouding his surroundings, Wu Yuan could still clearly see what was happening 100 li away.

So many Communion devil soldiers. Wu Yuan spotted numerous enormous devil soldiers in the Communion phase surrounding the perimeter of North Huang City, forming the beginnings of a siege. However, these Communion devil soldiers only held their position and did not advance.

In the skies above North Huang City, a group of Heavenly Rankers hovered vigilantly, ready to engage in battle at a moment's notice.

Suddenly, Qiong Sea King's voice urgently resounded in Wu Yuan's mind, “Master, please come to the South! I won’t be able to hold on for long.”

“Mm!” Wu Yuan swiftly nodded and directed his gaze toward the fierce aerial clash raging in the South of the city, the impact of each clash shaking the ground.

My primary focus should be halting the advance of the Spiritual Body devil soldiers. Qiong Sea King won’t be able to hold them off for long. We can deal with the Communion phase devil soldiers later. Wu Yuan understood this point.

“Little Black, prepare for battle. Combined flight configuration!” Wu Yuan’s voice echoed in the Teng Snake’s mind.

Little Black emerged from the soul chamber, wrapping itself around Wu Yuan’s body. Its obsidian wings extended, appearing as though Wu Yuan had grown wings. Together, they seemed to meld into one entity.

Wu Yuan’s flight speed instantly accelerated, and they tore through the sky like a streak of black light. Their destination: the southern sector of the city.

This goal was partially accomplished. Meanwhile, the slaughter of Spiritual Body devil soldiers was left to the more powerful cultivators.

"The North Huang City is completely surrounded," said the Arctic King, an unnatural pallor settling on his face. "Previously, the devil soldiers were divided due to us patrolling and hunting them down in the devil zone. Now we’ve regrouped, but three Spiritual Body devil soldiers have led swarms to coordinate an attack on us."

"The disparity in strength between the vanguard and the worm devil's forces is too large. We have grievously miscalculated," Emperor Dong Pan gravely intoned.

Why did the Heavenly Rankers withdraw from the devil zone following the third wave of counterattacks by the worm devil? It was because the devil soldiers exhibited overwhelming might, surpassing the predictions of Daoist Wan Xing and the others.

Now, numerous devil soldiers burst forth from the devil zone, converging on North Huang City to take it down.

"Daoist Wu Yuan has emerged!" a voice suddenly exclaimed.

A light screen materialized, swiftly displaying a figure enveloped in an earthy-yellow aura, with black wings extending from his back. With frightening velocity, the figure soared toward the heart of the battlefield.

"Such speed!"

"What are those dark wings sprouting from his back?"

"Daoist Wu Yuan seems to have grown even more powerful.”

“Over 100 li per breath! He's nearly there!" Emperor Dong Pan couldn't believe his eyes.

Even the Arctic King, Fang Xia, and Emperor Dong Pan would be left in the dust if they tried racing against Wu Yuan at his current speed.

Wu Yuan undoubtedly ranked first in terms of speed among the immortal cultivators of the Middle Land!

"He is closing in!"

"The mind confusion array has been completely shattered," Sang Gu, the person in charge of controlling the array, announced in a slightly flustered voice.

The expressions of the Heavenly Rankers collectively changed.

Once the mind confusion array was broken, the enemies would have a clear view of the battlefield. The horde of Communion devil soldiers that had been lurking around the array might swarm in at once!

"Everyone!" Qiong Sea King’s booming voice echoed through the air. "Daoist Wu Yuan claims he is confident that he can slay the Spiritual Body devil soldier!"

Having been in secluded cultivation until now, Wu Yuan had yet to enter the Middle Land Immortal Hall.
