Chapter 1849 - 1848: Attack Surge!

Strands of purple breath were absorbed by Ling, and Ling’s fatigued body soon recovered.

He slowly exhaled a breath of impure air and opened his eyes.

At this moment.

The Sect Leader of Ghost Buddha Sect, Fu Mo, Sect Leader of Turtle Breath Sect, Yin Shou, and Sect Leader of Dragon Abyss Sect, Black Dragon, came to Ling’s side, each with a gloomy expression, saying, "Young Master Ling, the situation is not good. We’re about to downgrade from ’Second-level Frenzy’ to Level 1. Shouldn’t you support us a little?"

"Support you? I’ve already run out of Spirit Stones, and now barely managed to defend against the ’Level 5 Frenzy’. In this situation, being able to hold the ’Level 5 Frenzy’ is already thanking the heavens, while that Wan Shi guy will take at least a month to get here." Ling said coldly.

"But... Can’t you lend us a few soldiers at least? If we downgrade to ’Level 1 Frenzy’, all previous efforts will be in vain!"

With a bitter face, Yin Shou from Turtle Breath Sect said.

Ling’s expression was extremely unpleasant, saying, "I told you from the start that all resources should have been invested with me, but you insisted on defending another gate. Now you realize how difficult it is!"

"But what can we do now?"

The three said, feeling dejected.

"In any case, I can’t lend out a single soldier now. I can’t even defend my own ’Level 5 Frenzy’. Either you give up defending the North Gate and come help me at the West Gate, or... you go find the Ghost Lady and figure out a way to make her give up defending the South Gate and join you." Ling said.

"Ghost Lady?"

The three looked at each other.

"That Ghost Lady is way stronger than you," Ling said, "Though she’s been defending ’Level 1 Frenzy’ the whole time, she never really had money to build an army, yet she could still hold. If it were you, I bet you would’ve been breached a long time ago!"

"..."

The three were speechless.

It was indeed true.

Sky Termination City has four major gates. People who come here can choose to defend one gate.

Initially, to gather strength, Wan Shi, Fu Mo, Yin Shou, and Black Dragon, the four sect leaders, chose to defend the North Gate, while Ling chose to defend the West Gate. Ghost Lady from the Yunkong Sect also fought through and chose to defend the South Gate.

They all had people from their sects making money at Ti Yun Peak.

While Ghost Lady from Yunkong Sect had no support, only three people came from the entire Yunkong Sect, two of whom are still staying in Taichu Immortal City without any money to support her.

As for the rules of city defense.

After a period, thousands of half-beasts, skull monsters, and fierce beasts would gather to attack the city gates.

After defending against nine attacks, their attack level escalates, growing in quantity and scale, escalating nine levels in total before reaching complete victory.

If they break the city gate and destroy the Purple Crystal Stone in the city center, it is a complete defeat.

Furthermore.

Each time they advance into the vicinity of a Life Tower closer to the Purple Crystal Stone inside the city, it indicates you will fail this wave. Once you defend successfully, their next wave of attack will ’downgrade’.

That is to say.

If you’ve consecutively defended against thirty-six waves of attacks, reaching ’Level 5 Frenzy’.

When enemies attack again, and you defend the Purple Crystal Stone but fail to defend the Life Tower in front of it, their next wave of attack will start from ’Level 4 Frenzy’, requiring another nine times consecutive defense of ’Level 4 Frenzy’ to escalate back to ’Level 5 Frenzy’.

The downgrade seems to give you time to relax.

But the consumption is too great.

Because defending the attacks requires continuously consuming Spirit Stones.

Why Spirit Stones?

Because here, you don’t personally go to the battlefield but act as a commander.

Here.

As long as you have Spirit Stones, you can build barracks, construct Defense Towers, and so on.

Thus.

Downgrading and defending nine waves of attacks again consumes a tremendous amount of Spirit Stones, which is why they have always been unwilling.

City defense mainly relies on building barracks and defense constructions to hold.

Of course.

Some people are destined to be geniuses.

For example, Ling. His city defense not only relies on soldiers and defense constructions but also utilizes his Dragon Heart’s power. His Dragon Heart power can better command soldiers while also intimidating attacking half-beasts, skull monsters, and fierce beasts, slowing their speed, agility, and strength.

In Sky Termination City, only inherent forces of this kind can be used during city defense.

Like Wan Shi, Fu Mo, Yin Shou, and Black Dragon, although powerful, cannot utilize any Cultivation Techniques here.

As for the Ghost Lady.

The reason Ghost Lady can hold the ’Level 1 Frenzy’ without money is because she too possesses certain inherent powers that allow her to keep a small number of soldiers defending the gate continuously.

"But that Ghost Lady refuses to submit to us." Yin Shou said angrily.

They had already invited Ghost Lady to join their team and defend the city together.

But Ghost Lady dismissed them with a worthless remark.

Leaving them quite annoyed.

"Can you not force it?"

Ling said scornfully.

Yin Shou spread his hands and said, "But here, like Taichu Immortal City, we can’t kill, only battle, and the few of us... are not her match! Adding Young Master Ling, we might be able to subdue her!"

"Such a bunch of idiots!"

Ling exclaimed.

"..."

The three faces turned livid.

They were not weak. In the past, not to mention Ling, even Ling’s father or even the entire Dragon King Hall dared to scold them, they would have killed directly.

However, Ling has now awakened the second level of Dragon Heart power, not someone to be offended...

"Well then, while the next wave hasn’t arrived, I’ll go with you to subdue that Ghost Lady." Ling sat up at this moment.

Initially, he had no interest in defeating Ghost Lady.

But staying here for so long, Ghost Lady still persisting is indeed surprising him.

Recruiting such talent under his command to defend the city together can make victory come faster; it is necessary to let her lend a hand.

In Sky Termination City, besides each area within the city gates being individual camp bases, it can be connected to the vicinity of the Purple Crystal Stone in the city center.

They usually rest beside the Purple Crystal Stone to absorb its power, allowing faster body recovery.

Soon.

Ling and the three moved from the Purple Crystal Stone towards the South Gate where Ghost Lady was responsible.

The South Gate camp is extremely rudimentary.

No Defense Towers, Ghost Lady has no Spirit Stones, couldn’t afford to buy them.

Just a simple barrack.

Every few minutes, a soldier formed from Spiritual Energy would emerge from the barrack.

Ghost Lady relied on this one barrack to stubbornly withstand multiple attack frenzies.

At this moment, another wave of attack frenzy had just ended.

Ghost Lady’s already few soldiers all heroically sacrificed themselves in this wave; while wiping the hot sweat off her forehead, she waited for more soldiers to form in the barracks...
