Chapter 5417 of the Dragon King Order: Close Combat
Suddenly, shouts of murder, clashing weapons, screams, and roars mingled, deafening the ears. A brutal battle that engulfed the entire Sixth Heaven had begun.
The first to collide were the ranks of the Imperial Guard and the vanguard of the demon spirits.
The Imperial Guards’ spears stabbed sharply into the demon spirits, but most only pierced their ethereal forms, causing no damage.
However, the demon spirits’ bone blades easily pierced through the soldiers’ armor and flesh.
A young Imperial Guard soldier thrust his spear toward a demon spirit as the blade sliced through his neck. Blood gushed out. He clutched his neck, his eyes filled with hatred, and slowly fell to the ground, his body rapidly devoured by the demon spirits.
“Use spiritual energy to fuel your weapon! The soul is vulnerable to spiritual attacks!”
Ao Lie shouted, drawing his longsword. Golden spiritual energy imbued the blade of his spear, and he struck the demon spirit with a single slash. The demon spirit let out a shrill scream, its body instantly incinerated by the spiritual energy, disappearing in a plume of black smoke.
The soldiers reacted one after another, channeling their spiritual power into their weapons, and launching another attack.
This time, the demon souls finally began to suffer casualties, and the black soul mist continued to dissipate, but the number of demon souls was simply too great. As soon as one group fell, more demon souls immediately surged, like an endless tidal wave, constantly attacking the imperial army formation.
Han Lie held a broadsword in his hand, and the flames on the crimson sword blazed
fiercely. With each slash, it conjured up a sea of flames, enveloping dozens of demon souls. The demon souls struggled fiercely in the sea of flames and were soon burned to ashes.
“Perfect timing!”
Han Lie laughed, leaped up, and slashed at a demon soul general wielding two axes.
The general roared, crossing his axes to block. With a clang, the axes burned red, and the general’s soul was also burned, emitting black smoke.
However, no sooner had Han Lie forced the demon soul general back, than more demon souls charged from behind him, and a dense swarm of bone blades stabbed into his back.
“Careful!”
Zi Yuan arrived just in time, brandishing her longsword. Turquoise spiritual energy swept out like a whirlwind, deflecting the attacking bone blades.
She and Han Lie stood back to back, their longswords and broadswords working perfectly as they continuously slashed at the surrounding demon souls.
“Thank you!”
Han Lie gasped, wiping the sweat from his face. “There are too many demon souls. This can’t be allowed to continue.”
“Wait! There’s always a way!” Zi Yuan gritted her teeth, and drew her longsword again, stabbing a demon soul in the chest.
In addition to these demon souls, tens of thousands of demon cultivators seized the opportunity and launched a massive attack. In the Sixth Heaven, their status was lower than that of humans and beastmen, making it impossible for them to compete with the gods of the Divine Kingdom.
But now, having finally had a chance to demonstrate their strength, these demonic cultivators fought tooth and nail.
Golden spiritual energy surged through Fan Tianyou’s body, and
he unleashed his Golden Sky Divine Fists, one after another, each capable of destroying several demonic spirits. He charged through the demonic spirits like a ferocious tiger, scattering them wherever he passed.
A giant demonic giant swung a giant hammer at him. Undaunted, Fan Tianyou charged forward, meeting the hammer head-on and smashing it with his fist.
With a thud, the hammer was sent flying back, sending the demonic giant staggering. Seizing the opportunity, Fan Tianyou retaliated and struck the giant in the chest with a single punch, instantly destroying his soul.
But at that moment, dozens of demonic spirits wielding spears charged from all directions, surrounding Fan Tianyou.
The spears stabbed at him like venomous snakes, and Fan Tianyou could only swing his fists to block them. Soon, several wounds appeared all over his body, and his golden spiritual power slowly faded.
Although the Half-Beast King had been severely injured by Jun Buhui before and his spiritual power had not fully recovered, he still managed to stand up at this moment. The golden stripes on his body reappeared, and his tiger claws emitted a sharp light.
