The ground battle was even more brutal, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers fighting to the death, cultivators against cultivators, war beasts against war beasts, and cultivators against war beasts. Fresh lives were passing by every moment, and thousands of miles of yellow sand turned into Bloody red.
Xia Daolin, his two sisters, Bo Hai, the Ninth Prince of the Agni Fire Empire, and others also appeared on the battlefield, all bathed in blood.
Fan Yuanzheng, the general of the Three Tigers, was dueling with a golden elixir master in black. At this time, he was defeated and gradually exhausted.
The house was leaking and it was raining continuously. Several fake alchemy cultivators in black freed their hands and rushed towards Fan Yuan. Dozens of soldiers surrounded him. Fan Yuan was unable to dodge and was pierced by two sharp arrows in the chest. Another palm strike from the golden elixir expert sent his body flying hundreds of feet away.
Fan Yuan was also a battle-hardened man. He took advantage of the situation and fled with his seriously injured body. He met up with another golden elixir master from the Agni Fire Empire and finally saved his life.
Not long after, several golden elixir masters died in Sheri City, and the army showed signs of defeat.
The black-clothed army's momentum surged, and they surged over like a tide, breaking through each battle formation and trampling a large number of Sheri City cultivators under their feet.
"Humph, a bunch of trash!" At this moment, a cold snort came from high in the sky.
Following the cold snort, a large dark cloud appeared in the sky in the distance. The dark cloud moved very fast. After a few breaths, it arrived over the battlefield and immediately pounced on the black-clothed army.
"That, that's a corpse puppet!" Whether it was Sheri City or the black-clothed army, everyone below was horrified.
What jumped down was not only a puppet, but also a corpse puppet!
Those corpse puppets were in strange shapes and sizes, some were humanoid, some were animal-shaped, no matter what shape they were, they were all corpses, all in tatters, hideous and terrifying, and it was terrifying to look at them.
Thousands of corpse puppets rushed into the black-clothed army, clawing and biting, like man-eating demons coming to the world, and instantly stopped the army's offensive.
"Damn it! Use fire, attack with fire!" An angry and stiff roar came from behind the black-clothed army, ordering everyone to attack the corpse puppets with flames.
The black-clothed army gradually woke up from their fear and hurriedly used fire magic to counterattack the corpse puppets.
However, except for advanced fire Taoism, other types of flames have no effect at all. Whether they are humanoid corpse puppets or animal-shaped corpse puppets, they are not afraid of ordinary flames. Although some bodies are ignited by flames, they are not afraid of them. Ignoring him, he stretched out his hand to grab a soldier in black, opened his mouth and bit off his head, chewing it from time to time.
What's more, some zombies tore the man in black into pieces, and then put them into the mouth piece by piece.
Such a terrifying scene caused the psychological defense of the black army to completely collapse. It came like a tide and went like a tide. Those who could lift off all took off and fled, and those who couldn't took off also used all their strength to survive. of running wildly.
The master in black who had shouted just now was furious, formed a seal with his hands, and suddenly swatted it down.
A hundred-foot-long fire dragon immediately rushed into the corpse puppet army. With a sizzling sound, hundreds of corpse puppets burned all over and turned into ashes in a few breaths.
"Your opponent is me!" A figure also appeared in the air opposite the black-clothed master. The figure was very blurry and his true appearance could not be seen clearly. As soon as he appeared, he fired three black lights and hit the black-clothed master directly.
The master in black snorted coldly, raised his hand and waved out a piece of light, instantly wrapping three black lights and preparing to refine them.
However, in less than two breaths, those rays of light dissipated, and three black lights reappeared, continuing to shoot at the man in black.
"The light of the Yin Spirit is indeed the big devil!" The man in black's face changed, and his backhand was a ball of purple flames.
As soon as the purple flame came out, everyone below felt that the temperature around them suddenly increased, and they immediately felt like they were sweating.
The purple flame blocked three black lights, exploded instantly, and the black lights disappeared instantly.
"Ziyang Shenyan! No, you have not reached the divine realm, so this is just the prototype of Ziyang Shenyan!" The vague figure known as the big devil was also surprised, but then he was relieved.
"Your Excellency, you have good judgment. You and I are even the same, and we have not truly reached the realm of the virtual gods. How about you, are you interested in competing again?" The man in black also judged the opponent's strength and asked provocatively.
"I have never learned the skills of a foreign continent, and I am happy to accompany you!"
"Your Excellency, you are joking. I am a fellow Taoist from Hezhou. How can I talk about being on a different continent?" said the man in black.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!" After saying that, the big devil took the lead and flew towards the sky.
"Withdraw troops!" After the man in black spit out two words, he turned into a purple light and disappeared.
The army in black received the order and retreated like a tide. Thousands of corpse puppets also stopped attacking and stood silently on the spot.
"The two masters of the demigod realm are really amazing!" The Sheri City army looked up at the sky with envy. Then they turned to the terrifying group of corpse puppets and retreated one after another.
"Everyone, go back to the city!" An old man on the air battleship also gave the order to withdraw the troops.
Half an hour later, all that was left in the vast desert were endless corpses and rivers of blood that had no time to seep in.
"Haha, Your Highness, why are you going to the battlefield in person!" In the palace of the lord of Sheri City, on the tall throne, a tall old man said to Chi Yanmu with a smile.
"City Lord, everyone has their own rules for protecting Sheri City, and this prince is no exception!"
"Okay, this is what I value about you. To be honest, compared to you, the Seventh Prince is completely different. Your achievements will be far above him!" The old man praised him.
This person is the city lord of Sheri City. His real name is Lian Daoji, and he is also known as Yunlizi. He has reached the realm of Jindan Dzogchen and has been the city lord for a hundred years. In recognition of his contribution, the Fire Empire granted him the title of First-Class Marquis.
The name of the seventh prince mentioned by Yun Lizi was Chi Yanming. Like the ninth prince, he was in the early stage of Jindan. He was also sent to Sheri City for training and served as the deputy general manager of Dongcheng.
The Seventh Prince, Chi Yanming, was idle all day long and did not do his job properly. He was not seen at all in the area, either in casinos or brothels. He was a real playboy.
On the surface, the Ninth Prince appears to be greedy for money and lustful, and is on par with the Seventh Prince. However, in fact, he is extremely wealthy and has a strong desire for power. He is in charge of the Sentry Camp of the City Lord's Mansion and is responsible for inquiring about information from all parties in the Hezhou Continent. He is highly regarded by the City Lord Yunlizi.
"City Lord, thank you. Brother Seventh Emperor also has the advantages of Brother Seventh Emperor, but he didn't show them clearly." Chi Yanmu waved his hand.
"By the way, Your Highness, how are your injuries?" Yun Lizi asked with concern.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."
"That's good, that's good." Yun Lizi nodded and said seriously: "Have you found out where those people are staying?"
"Well, the Qingwan Oasis is 650,000 miles away from here."
"It's actually there!" Yunlizi suddenly realized.
"The attack on Sheri City this time is only 30 to 40% of the strength of the Thieves' Nest, and they are not elite." Chi Yanmu said.
