Chapter 2459 Clash of Powers
Before today, Li Yun had never imagined that human armies could have such tactics, such efficiency, such a level of coordination... such a way of attack, to the point that the people of Changfeng Valley were completely restrained by them and were at a loss for what to do.
Since they can't fly, they lose their biggest advantage.
In terms of individual combat strength, the people of Changfeng Valley are in no way inferior; however, in terms of discipline, they cannot match the opponent's measured advances and retreats, and the thousands of people act as a single unit.
No, it's like a machine—powerful, efficient, and cold-blooded.
"Open up Cloud Valley!" Li Yun plucked three yellow leaves, whispered a few words into their ears, and gently tossed them out. The leaves flew across the battlefield, carrying messages to the various disciples: "Feng Sheng, Wang Baoxian, Liu Qing'an, you lead your teams and lure the enemy in!"
The so-called Cloud Valley is a small world that can be opened and closed at any time, with its entrances and exits disguised. When it opens, it is transparent and colorless, completely blending into its surroundings. The enemy army is chasing after the people of Changfeng Valley, who only need to lure the powerful enemies in batches. The small world is full of dazzling sights and sounds, allowing Changfeng Valley to calmly deal with the remaining enemies left in reality.
The plan was excellent, and the disciples executed it resolutely and effectively. The panic of the disciples fleeing to lure the enemy was not feigned.
Strangely, the enemy troops, who were clearly in the middle of a chase, stopped at the entrance to the small world. The leader looked left and right, spat, and led the team back, determined not to step inside.
If it were just one enemy force, that would be one thing, but with three or four enemy forces coming in succession, the people of Changfeng Valley understood:
The elaborate disguise at the entrance to the small world was seen through at a glance.
How did the other party see through it at a glance? Even a single guard could see through it. That illusion was clearly extremely sophisticated; Changfeng Valley used it to ambush people in the past, and it was always successful.
Since this tactic didn't work, Changfeng Valley had to come up with another solution.
At the same time, powerful figures such as Li Yun were quickly identified, and the Red Armor Army immediately assigned a special elite squad to entangle the powerful figures from Changfeng Valley in order to reduce their attacks on the main army.
These elite squads consist of only twenty or thirty people, and their leaders are usually highly skilled generals or... powerful demons!
Yes, the enemy city also has many monsters, highly skilled, and their coordination with the army is excellent. What I hate most is—
They also glowed red.
This means that they have a higher defense against supernatural powers and spells, and their attacks on the people of Changfeng Valley are also more fierce!
In particular, the leopard demons with sandstone skin are both agile and ferocious, and their skin is as tough as sandpaper, impossible to cut through.
Changfeng Valley had no choice but to mobilize dozens of demonic beasts and a batch of Five Elements puppets.
Just as Li Yun had killed a leopard demon, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if something was approaching. Without thinking, he lunged forward, even knocking a Changfeng Valley disciple flying.
When he turned around, a large, hairy spider appeared where he had been standing. It was more than half a person tall with its eight legs on the ground and its body was covered with sharp spikes.
Most importantly, he recognized the spider demon!
"You previously infiltrated Duzhishan!"
The spider demon before us is one of those intruders who mysteriously sneaked into Duzhi Mountain and then disappeared in a bizarre manner; its physical characteristics are too obvious.
Moreover, this spider demon moved freely among the enemy troops, as if it had been working with them for many years.
Li Yun looked around again and spotted two or three familiar cultivators who had previously crossed Duzhi Mountain. However, their coordination with the army was not as skillful as that of the spider demons.
He hadn't known their purpose before, but now he did:
That strange city plans to invade Changfeng Valley, so they first sent these people to Duzhishan to scout and sabotage the area.
Aunt Zhu's response was to leap into the air and give him a warm hug.
The two sides were locked in a fierce battle.
It and the people of Lingshan followed Jiuyou's instructions and came to support the Panlong Secret Realm.
Panlong Secret Realm is still in a crucial stage of its growth, yet it is determined to fight to the death with Duzhishan Secret Realm.
Behind this is the struggle between Shangguan Biao and Jiuyou, and of course they have to lend a hand.
While everyone was fighting, Immortal Mingke spoke to Granny Zhu through the Eyeball Spider:
"I'll go kill someone at Duzhishan while no one's watching."
"Who?"
“Shangguan Biao, the handyman.” Immortal Mingke still remembered this matter. “Didn’t Jiuyou say that killing him might end the progress of this secret realm?”
"No need to go, I just tried it." Aunt Zhu sighed. "The barrier around Duzhishan is very strong, we can't even get in. If we want to kill Shangguan Biao, we'd have to enter the secret realm through the entrance of Duzhishan. We just tried, and we couldn't get in."
Before entering the Panlong Secret Realm, they first passed through Duzhi Mountain. However, the three gate passages had been closed, and they could not find a way in no matter how many times they went back and forth.
Clearly, Shangguan Biao had already taken precautions against what Aunt Zhu could think of.
“Besides, Jiuyou might not want the Duzhishan Secret Realm to disappear,” Aunt Zhu continued. “It should be very useful to the Panlong Secret Realm.”
"How could there be such an army in the Nine Netherworld's secret realm?" Immortal Mingke looked back at the city not far away. This time, when they entered the secret realm, they did not appear from inside the city, but instead showed up directly at the post station outside the city gate. A few steps away was the wheat field battlefield.
He didn't believe that no one was secretly controlling all of this.
The fact that Jiuyouren could still control the Panlong Secret Realm while in Shangguan Biao's Void Realm truly piqued his curiosity.
"I don't know." Now, Aunt Zhu can lie without batting an eye.
During the battle, new rainbow lights kept flying in from the direction of Changfeng Valley and landing at the border.
That was the continuous stream of reinforcements arriving from inside the gate.
The south gate of Panlong City was opened several times, and one Panlong army after another rushed to the battlefield.
While fighting, Immortal Mingke paid special attention to the boundary between Panlong Rice Paddy and Duzhi Mountain. He saw that sometimes the boundary of the rice paddy extended towards Duzhi Mountain, and sometimes the boundary of Duzhi Mountain extended towards the rice paddy, just like the contest between Changfeng Valley and Panlong Army on the ground, with each side vying for control and retreating as the other advanced.
After the initial chaos, Changfeng Valley quickly changed its tactics, withdrawing its members back to its own territory!
This move of "retreating to advance" immediately proved effective.
Once back on their own territory, the people of Changfeng Valley can fly using their magical weapons, launching a dense barrage of attacks from above and below to regain air superiority.
After taking flight, many formations can be rearranged from a high vantage point.
Most importantly, whoever controls the territory calls the shots. Li Yun shakes the wave drum, and stone men rise from the ground to join the battle; their numbers are endless!
Previously in the Panlong territory, the Earth Mother's power was ineffective, leaving Changfeng Valley without a major asset.
In the Changfeng Valley, Li Yun's Ice Dragon Technique could still freeze fifty miles away, but it was not very effective against the red light emanating from the Panlong Army.
However, the hundred or so intruders from Duzhishan did not have the red light on them, so it had no suppressive effect on them.
As the battle intensified, both sides engaged in a fierce struggle on the border.
