Chapter 814 - 568: Finally Found You! (Part 3)

The surrounding houses collapsed like paper, the smoke and dust billowed, covering the sky;

Even the distant city walls shook with huge cracks as if they would collapse at any moment.

The battle was on the verge, instantly reaching a fever pitch.

Bloodlight and firelight intertwined, illuminating the dim sky, igniting every corner of Ning City.

Gu Dingjiang and the other two were pureblood great monarchs of the Blood Race, their powers unfathomable, with blood-colored forces that were eerie and dominating. Every move carried the power to destroy mountains.

Gu Dingjiang gathered a blood-colored long spear in his hand, with a rich blood-colored aura swirling around it.

Where the spearhead pointed, the air was pierced, thrusting fiercely towards the formation of the five giant spirits.

Lord Jing Wang Gu Yunze transformed into a bloody shadow, weaving amongst the five giants, conjuring countless blood claws in his hand. Each swipe tore through flames, leaving deep scratches on the giant battle armor.

Lord Rui Wang Gu Lengxuan stood in mid-air, chanting softly, as the blood water around him transformed into countless blood arrows, shooting like torrential rain, dense enough to cover the entire sky, aiming at the five giant spirits.

Although the five Golden Wu Warriors were powerful and had tough bodies with domineering flame forces, they were not able to single-handedly rival the pureblood great monarchs.

Yet Chen Sheng had elevated these five because they could form the Golden Wu military formation!

"Form the formation!"

In an instant.

The five responded to each other immediately, forming the Golden Wu military formation, their bodies’ flames intertwined, transforming into a giant flaming long blade.

The flames burned fiercely, with a power to incinerate everything, striking towards the three of Gu Dingjiang.

Wherever the flame blade went, the air between heaven and earth ignited, even the blood-colored air waves were burnt back step by step.

The ground was carved by the blade’s aftershock into a gorge tens of yards deep, spreading like a menacing serpent, extending towards the surroundings.

Yet even with this, they could only barely maintain defense, at an absolute disadvantage.

Gu Dingjiang’s blood-colored long spear pierced fiercely through the flaming blade, with immense force instantly shaking the five giant spirits into retreat, their flames dimming a bit.

"Boom—"

Another loud crash as Gu Yunze’s blood claw slammed into the chest of one giant spirit.

The giant spirit let out a painful howl, its body shuddered violently. The flames on its body extinguished halfway, crashing heavily into the ground, forming a huge pit.

The ground around the pit collapsed, countless bricks and rubble poured into the pit, dust and smoke swirling.

The aftermath of the battle had long exceeded Ning City’s capacity, with overwhelming destructive force sweeping in all directions; the destructive momentum was visible to the naked eye.

Within a radius of tens of miles, the ground trembled violently, like an earthquake.

In Ning City, houses collapsed on a large scale, streets and alleys buried under bricks and rubble; mournful cries, screams, and sounds of collapses intermingled, the scene extremely tragic.

The distant village was razed to the ground by the shock wave; villagers couldn’t escape in time and were buried under the ruins.

Outside the city, mountains were shaken by the air waves causing landslides, massive rocks rolling down, crashing onto the plains below, stirring up a sky filled with dust.

Even the river was blocked by boulders, causing the water level to rise, flooding the land on both sides, turning it into a swamp.

Within Ning City, the populace was panicked, fleeing in all directions.

Many were struck by collapsing houses, gravely injured, their blood staining the ground;

Some were lifted by air waves and slammed heavily onto the ground, unable to rise again.

White Gongming and other core disciples hurriedly organized followers to cover the citizens as they evacuated outside the city, shouting loudly while retreating:

"Everyone, don’t panic! The Daoist Master will surely protect us! Hold on!"

...

At this time, 800 miles away, in a secluded crypt.

Chen Sheng was sitting cross-legged, surrounded by faint talisman light, his eyes closed, expression calm.

This crypt was extremely concealed, around it were multiple concealment and defense talisman arrays, perfectly concealing the aura, even a pureblood great monarch would find it hard to detect if they were present.

His true body did not join the battle; instead, he attached his consciousness to the five Golden Wu Warriors, clearly observing the battle through their eyes, the power of the pureblood monarchs, silently estimating the power gap between both sides.

"The power of the pureblood lords is indeed formidable, their bodies fiercely strong, with blood-colored forces eerie and domineering..."

He pondered inwardly:

"However, fortunately, their power is still within the scope of my talismanic magic."

"If I deploy the All-Heaven Divine Fire Talisman, it will have a restraining effect on them, making them insignificant."

"Above pureblood, there is source blood, yet saying that my current talismanic magic might be enough to confront Gu Youming."

With these thoughts, Chen Sheng was moved, then shook his head slowly:

"But Gu Youming is too profound, pureblood, and source blood seem just one step apart, yet if the gap is three or four steps, it’s wise to be cautious."

"Soon I will advance to the seventh level; then I’ll use the new warriors to fight Gu Youming."

As he mused, his consciousness flowed swiftly.

On the battlefield.

The palms of the five giant spirits simultaneously revealed sheets of talisman paper, on the paper, cinnabar outlined talisman seals glowing brightly, emitting strong spiritual qi fluctuations.

"Wind Talisman, rise!"

"Celestial Thunder Talisman, draw!"

As Chen Sheng’s consciousness commanded, sheets of talisman paper were simultaneously energized.

The Wind Talisman transformed into cyan wind blades encircling the giants, greatly boosting their speed, enabling them to dodge flexibly the attacks of the three from Gu Dingjiang.

The Celestial Thunder Talisman then became purple thunderbolts descending from the sky, striking toward the three of Gu Dingjiang, the thunder whistled, accompanied by cracking sounds, with formidable power.

Under the enhancement of talismanic magic, the combat capabilities of the five Golden Wu Warriors soared, the previous passive defense situation instantly reversed, soon the sides were evenly matched in combat.
