Chapter 654: Defeat (Part 2)

Two Five Souls Blood Puppets charged from the front, unleashing ten dark red thorns that struck Lin Feng's breastplate with a series of clanging sounds before bouncing to the ground.

The attacks from the two Demon Sect Grandmasters landed at the same time; the taller one's Blood Fist and the shorter one's Bone-Shattering Whip Kick both struck Lin Feng's body.

-0!

-0!

Two strings of numbers floated up simultaneously.

The tall man's pupils suddenly contracted, and the short man's whip leg bounced back the moment it touched Lin Feng's waist, his shinbone going numb from the impact.

"How is this possible!" The tall man's face changed drastically, and for the first time, his voice betrayed obvious panic.

"How can his defense be so high!"

The short man didn't speak, but he took half a step back and quickly made a gesture.

The three Five Souls Blood Puppets simultaneously raised their Thorn Shields to their highest points, forming a continuous shield wall that blocked the two Grandmaster and three Qingyang Grandmaster Blood Puppets.

The three Qingyang Grandmaster Blood Puppets simultaneously activated the purple set effect—【Armor Returns to One】, with a layer of light purple light appearing around them.

Both demonic sect masters activated their Blood Qi Protection, integrating their full-body defense and increasing their damage by 20%.

Eight figures formed a tight defensive formation, with shields in front and figures behind, attempting to stall for the ten-minute duration of the Armored Unity formation with a dense defensive posture.

Lin Feng did not give them a chance.

With the Shadow Step, the evasion rate increased by 30%, and then the Wildfire Spear was plunged into the ground again.

"The flames of war spread across the plains!"

Centered on him, a ring-shaped shockwave of fire with a radius of 100 meters exploded outwards.

Flames spread across the ground, licking at moss, vines, gravel, and bloodthorn trunks, scorching and distorting the surrounding air.

The five Grandmasters simultaneously displayed a damage value of -624, while the thorn shields of the three Five Soul Blood Puppets also exploded with -554 damage.

After the flames subsided, a layer of dark red burn marks appeared on the armor plates of all eight figures, and the 【Wildfire Mark】 was applied at the same time.

Lin Feng charged toward the defensive formation with his spear. The eight men worked closely together, and the Five Soul Blood Puppet's thorny shield blocked their front. Three Qingyang Grandmaster Blood Puppets emerged from the gaps in the shields to attack.

Two demonic sect masters flanked the two sides, seizing every opportunity to put pressure on Lin Feng.

Lin Feng thrust out several spears in a second, the spear tips constantly exploding sparks on the shield, but with eight people taking turns to cover him, he could not find a gap that could penetrate the defensive formation.

Gunfire, fist winds, palm shadows, and shield strikes intertwined, stirring up the blood mist and causing it to churn and churn. The moss on the ground was repeatedly crushed and lifted up, and the air was filled with broken leaves and bone fragments.

Several seconds passed, and Lin Feng knew that continuing like this would only allow the other side to survive for the next ten minutes.

He took a step back, leaped into the air, and his Sky-Chasing Boots shone with golden light—【Meteor Fall】.

Upon seeing him ascend into the sky, the five masters simultaneously dispersed in five different directions.

Lin Feng crashed vertically from the sky, and a golden shockwave exploded on the ground, tearing up a layer of moss within an eight-meter radius and scattering gravel everywhere.

But the three Five Souls Blood Puppets did not retreat. They raised their thorny shields to meet the shockwave, their feet firmly planted on the ground.

They withstood the attack head-on; the knockback effect of the meteor strike had no effect on them.

Lin Feng had anticipated this, and the moment he landed, he turned the tip of his spear—【Beacon Fire Connects the Cities】.

A fiery meteor-like spear beam shot out, accurately striking one of the Five Souls Blood Puppets.

The spear's edge struck the thorn shield, and the Blood Puppet successfully blocked it, but the success rate of the block was reduced by fifty percent by the additional effect of the Beacon Fire.

Lin Feng seized the opportunity and fired seven shots in one second.

Gunfire rained down like a storm, five shots hitting their mark, each carrying the increased damage effect of the Wildfire Mark, each dealing 976 points of damage.

The Five Souls Blood Puppet's health bar plummeted from healthy to completely empty.

The five-meter-tall body collapsed with a crash, shattering into vines and bone spurs scattered all over the ground.

Just as the five grandmasters were about to seize the opportunity to launch another attack, several streaks of fire suddenly lit up from the depths of the blood mist.

Feng Qingyan and Feng Qingshuang unleashed their Fireballs simultaneously, the two fireballs exploding amidst the group of Grandmasters, the flames evaporating the blood mist into a cloud of white vapor.

Immediately following, Wang Wu and Jianyan's three-shot volley came in, with six arrows shooting in from different angles.

Ironclad's booming voice came from behind: "Lord! I'm here!"

He charged into the battlefield wielding his mountain shield, followed by a large number of Qingyang Acquired Warriors.

Upon seeing this, the two demonic sect masters' expressions changed drastically, and they turned to run away.

However, several Qingyang masters who had arrived had already surrounded them.

"Trying to run?"

"Stay!"

The bright sky and clear earth simultaneously unleashed six nets of righteous energy, trapping the two demonic sect masters within.

They fought back desperately, and the Seven Fiends Blood Handprint shattered two nets, but the third and fourth followed closely behind, pinning them to the spot.

A few dozen seconds later, the seven layers of Qingyang Breaking Fist simultaneously struck the two men, shattering their blood protective barrier and emptying their health bars.

Lin Feng didn't stop either; he turned around and faced the last two Five Soul Blood Puppets.

Just as the first blood puppet pounced, Lin Feng raised his left hand, and the Ring of Imprisonment flashed.

The blood puppet froze instantly. Lin Feng unleashed seven consecutive thrusts with his Wildfire Spear, each hitting a vital point, instantly emptying its health bar.

The second one was attacked by him for dozens of seconds and forcibly killed.

By the time he put away his gun, the three Qingyang Grandmaster Blood Puppets had already been killed by Tie Dun and the others.

Ironclad used his Mountain Shield to withstand a powerful blow, then swung the shield backhand and smashed Blood Puppet's head to pieces.

Feng Qingyan followed up with a Fireball Technique, burning the last blood puppet to ashes.

The battle is over.

Ironclad was the first to rush forward, slamming his giant shield into the ground, causing the ground to tremble three times.

"Lord! I'm not too late, am I? Did you see that? That shield of mine just now..."

He gestured with an exaggerated arc, "I just smashed its head off! Like smashing a watermelon, *crack*! It shattered into pieces!"

Feng Qingyan followed closely behind, looking Lin Feng up and down several times to make sure he wasn't missing any limbs before letting out a sigh of relief: "Lord, are you alright?"

Wang Wu sheathed his bow and walked over, his tone calm: "My lord, the enemy forces to the east have been defeated, and the remnants are fleeing."

He glanced around to make sure no one had escaped, then added, "Should we continue the pursuit?"

Lin Feng sensed the sky.

Jiang Zhaoyue, Jiang Yelan, Zhou Guosheng and others have already restrained all the Celestial Realm and Grandmaster level cultivators of the Demon Sect. The battle in the sky is still ongoing, but the outcome on the ground has already been decided.

He withdrew his senses, pointing the tip of his Wildfire Spear forward: "Continue the attack. Today, we must break through the core of this pure land."

Ironclad's eyes lit up, and he hoisted the giant shield back onto his shoulder: "Alright! My shield has been itching for a long time!"

Feng Qingyan leaned her staff on her shoulder, tilted her head, and curled her lips slightly: "Let's go, burn that damn core."
