Chapter 178 The First Battle!
As soon as the male lead left without returning, Zuo Xiaoluo’s brows finally furrowed.
The male lead was at the cultivation level of the 10th Order Returning Void Realm, and those who were able to stop the 10th Order Returning Void Realm were at least at the 10th Order Returning Void Realm.
“So, that thing inside the Temple of Time came out!”
Zuo Xiaoluo looked at the undead zombie dragons that kept the walls closing in, and for the first time, she realized Zhao Yi’s big picture view that far surpassed everyone else’s.
Ever since they knew that there were three thousand small worlds outside of the Immortal Cultivation World, and that the strength of the three thousand small worlds far exceeded that of the Zhao Imperial Clan of Daxia, the atmosphere of the Xuan Zhen Guan, the Patriarch’s Office, and the Daxia Imperial Court had turned grave.
Only Zhao Yi was unimpressed.
Zuo Xiaoluo still remembered what Zhao Yi said at that time.
Zhao Yi said that the Immortal Cultivation World wasn’t completely vulnerable against the three thousand small worlds.
The biggest advantage of the Immortal Cultivation World is that it is “a single door with one order, and information is shared”.
Just like now.
After the Great Xia Dynasty had formulated a strategy, all the resources were immediately mobilized, and a good defensive front was established at the first time.
This was the advantage of “ordering out of one door”.
When Zuo Xiaoluo saw the abnormalities of the Four Seas Dragon Race, she immediately thought of the magic world and necromancers; when she saw the male lead being held back, she immediately thought that the alien of the Temple of Time had escaped.
This is the benefit of “information sharing”.
After the male lead came out from the secret realm of the pagoda, he immediately told Zhao Yi everything about the Temple of Time.
After Zhao Yi resolved the Witch Demon Saqir in Mount Sumeru, he immediately passed all the information to Xuan Zhen Guan in a detailed manner.
The Grand Xia Dynasty’s grasp of information about the otherworldly world far exceeded the imagination of otherworldly creatures.
On the contrary, the three thousand small worlds were not only fighting on their own, but also conquering each other.
Not to mention “another door, information sharing”, they couldn’t even trust each other.
Zuo Xiaoluo has no doubt that one day if there is a real fight, maybe before reaching the Immortal Cultivation World, the creatures of those other worlds will beat out their own brains on the way.
Thinking of this, Zuo Xiaoluo looked at the undead dragons entering range and ordered:
“Rocket ready.”
With Zuo Xiaoluo’s order, a dense buzzing sound rang out from the city walls, hundreds of eight ox crossbows were wound up at the same time, and the ten-foot-long steel arrows shone coldly on the crossbow beds, exuding an extremely dangerous aura.
The crossbowmen on the side heard the order and quickly stepped forward to ignite the pine oil packets on the arrow shafts.
As the pine oil burned, the rich pine scent instantly filled the entire city building.
Zuo Xiaoluo raised his right hand high, then swung it forward with force.
“Release!”
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
The dense rain of arrows reached the Undead Zombie Dragon almost instantly.
The dead dragons did not have true essence to protect their bodies, and with the strength of their physical bodies alone, they were simply unable to withstand the extremely powerful Eight Ox Crossbow.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
The sharp arrows instantly pierced through the dragon’s corpse, emitting a tearing sound that pierced through the remnants of the willow.
The long arrows nailed the dragon corpse to the ground, and pine oil scattered on the dragon’s body, quickly setting the tattered corpse ablaze.
Seeing this scene, Zuo Xiaoluo was instantly relieved.
Zhao Yi had guessed correctly once again.
That remnant soul of the Temple of Time didn’t possess the full power of the main body.
Although he also had the means to manipulate the undead, compared to a complete necromancer, the summoned undead were just a mere form but not the real thing.
It was important to realize that the original body of those zombies outside the city was the Four Seas Dragon Clan, which was the strongest demonic beast in the entire Immortal Cultivation World in terms of physical strength.
If that residual soul had the ability to complete the whole body, as long as it slightly sacrificed those dragon corpses, it would be able to make the city guards suffer a great loss!
“Winning!”
Seeing that the rockets from the Eight Ox Crossbow had successfully stopped the zombie dragons, the city guards on the city walls cheered.
Everyone’s gazes simultaneously looked towards the single thin and slim figure on the watchtower, with a frenzied look in their eyes.
“Great General Mighty!”
“Great General is invincible!”
“The Great General is unrivaled!”
Zuo Xiaoluo calmly looked at the burning dragon corpse without a ripple in her eyes.
Neither was there a hint of complacency because of the heavy defeat of the enemy, nor did any of her men have any semblance of pride because of the soldiers cheering.
The Zuo Xiaoluo on the battlefield was as cold as a merciless killing machine.
Before the battle was over, no one could shake her emotions.
Except for Zhao Yi, of course.
“Eun Gong is really powerful! He broke the foreigner’s zombie formation with a random ploy, he’s really skillful, wise and brave!”
No one knew that Zuo Xiaoluo, who looked calm and indifferent on the outside, was as fervent as an erupting volcano inside at this moment. The soldiers of the city guards regarded Zuo Xiaoluo as a god, but Zhao Yi was the deity in her heart.
If it wasn’t the wrong time, Zuo Xiaoluo couldn’t wait to rush to Zhao Yi’s side and report this great achievement to him.
“I wonder how En Gong is doing now?”
When Zuo Xiaoluo thought of Zhao Yi who was in the middle of his journey, a pang of worry couldn’t help but rise in her heart.
Although she didn’t know how dangerous the Purple Heavenly Thunder Transformation Tribulation was, seeing that Zhao Yi had gone so far as to siphon off all of the great cultivators from the Great Xia Dynasty Hall, she knew how difficult this battle would be.
“Buddha blessing, I hope that Eunuch is safe and sound!” Zuo Xiaoluo prayed in her heart.
Zuo Xiaoluo was also so sick and desperate that she had forgotten that the monks on Mount Sumeru, the Buddha’s base camp, had already been killed by her, and the Buddha’s dao lineage was about to be broken.
First of all, not to mention that begging the Buddha to bless can be effective or not, even if the Buddha really heard in the spiritual world, it will certainly be a slap to kill Zuo Xiaoluo, rather than helping her to bless the even more abominable Zhao Yi.
Zuo Xiaoluo was thinking, suddenly heard the sound of a soldier’s weapon dropping in the distance and then falling.
Zuo Xiaoluo raised her head fiercely and watched the smoke from the burning dragon corpses in the distance drifting towards the city wall, her pupils dilated and her face showed a marvelous color.
“Eunuch hit the mark again, these zombie dragons still really have corpse poison on them?”
With that, she ordered, “There is water in the barrels on the battlements, wet the towels to cover your mouth and nose. Turn on the cyclone formation and blow the poisonous smoke back, don’t injure the people in the city by mistake.”
Hearing the order, all the soldiers froze at the same time.
They then realized why their superior officer ordered everyone to bring towels before going into battle.
There were also the barrels on the battlements.
Many people thought that it was the water inside to prevent the rockets of the eight ox crossbow from taking on water, but they didn’t realize that it was used to avoid poison.
At this moment, not only the soldiers of the city guards, even the guard general and a group of vice generals admired Zuo Xiaoluo.
This is the charm of being the enemy commander.
She seemed to always have a solution to a crisis.
Before, she used rockets to burn dragon corpses, now she uses buckets and towels to avoid poison.
The two attacks of the foreigners were easily thwarted by Zuo Xiaoluo, and the morale of the city guards was suddenly raised to the extreme.
Zuo Xiaoluo stood on the platform and never moved half a step from beginning to end, but it brought endless courage and fighting spirit to all the soldiers.
The morale of the city guards on this side was so high that they couldn’t wait to rush down and fight with the enemy in hot blood, but Su Shanshan’s side was in bad luck.
When the undead zombie dragon attacked Shengjing City, Su Shanshan was in the woods outside the city, and after seeing the zombie dragon so horrible, originally wanted to go back to see her parents’ thoughts instantly lost.
She hid in the woods and watched the city guards on the city wall as the zombie dragon rushed the city with a look of pleasure on her face.
Su Shanshan had always felt that the reason she had ended up in this situation today was all because of the scourge of the Daxia Zhao Clan.
Now that Shengjing City was going to be overrun by monsters, her great revenge was about to be avenged, and she was so happy that she almost laughed out loud.
But not long after, Su Shanshan couldn’t laugh anymore.
Because the zombie dragons were set on fire by the rockets from the Eight Ox Crossbow, all the zombie dragons were engulfed by the sea of fire and no longer had the power to attack.
“Wastes, all wastes!”
Su Shallow stomped her feet in anger.
She looked at the cheering soldiers on the city wall and gritted her teeth, itching to rush up and pull out the arrows from the dragon’s corpse, extinguish the fire, and let the zombie dragon continue to attack the city, the best thing would be to kill all of the people in Shengjing city!
When Su Shanshan was holding the tree, she suddenly heard the sound of soldiers on the city wall shouting “poison”.
“The dragon corpse is poisonous?” Su Shanshan’s eyes lit up.
Poisonous gas could kill people much faster than those undead.
As long as the toxicity was strong enough, a few moments of effort would be enough to poison the people of Shengjing City.
But soon Su Shanshan was disappointed again.
The reaction of the city defense army this time was even faster than before, almost as soon as someone sent out the warning signal of poison in the front foot, the cyclone formation on the city wall was activated in the back foot.
Su Shallow was so angry that she smashed her fist hard on the tree, then her face changed violently.
Because the cyclone formation was blowing the corpse poison towards the forest she was in.
“Damn it, don’t come over!”
Su Shallow instantly lost her color, looking at the poisonous smoke coming from the sky, staggering and fleeing towards the depths of the woods.
Seeing this scene, the corner of the male lead’s mouth finally revealed a hint of joy.
“You seem happy?”
In the void, a seven-colored haze floated in front of the male lead.
“Does that woman have a grudge against you?” The Sage of Time asked, “I can help you kill her, and in exchange, you have to help me kill someone as well.”
