Chapter 783: Defending the Chenlong Pass
Clang——!!
A light sound echoed as the straight sword in Cao Yuan’s hand was drawn from its sheath.
Dark, malevolent flames ignited from Cao Yuan’s pupils, intertwining to form a slowly burning, pulsating black royal robe that draped behind him, his eyes blood-red!
Madman Cao Yuan opened his mouth and roared fiercely at the tide of beasts surging through the narrow gap!
“Roar——！！！！”
This roar directly overshadowed the wave of “mysterious” howls that had broken through the walls, causing the first wave of “mysterious” to momentarily freeze, confusion appearing on their faces.
Before they could regain their senses, Madman Cao Yuan, gripping the straight sword, shot out like an arrow, charging alone into the throng of “mysterious” crowded behind the crumbling walls of Shenlong Pass.
The outer wall of Shenlong Pass, designed to accommodate heavy weaponry, had been breached, creating a gap about a hundred meters wide. At this moment, over a thousand “mysterious” were madly pushing through this gap, but due to their varying sizes, the majority were quite large, meaning it would take some time for them all to pass through.
This created a problem: they had to passively condense their formation, moving through the gap in a long line to enter Shenlong Pass.
The position of Lin Qiye and his six companions was right in the center of this narrow gap.
This was a steel fortress that was easy to defend but hard to attack.
Of course, even though the scale of the beast tide was condensed, resulting in a significantly weakened frontline compared to the previous wave, they were still a group of disaster-level entities. It was impossible for Cao Yuan alone to hold this gap.
Jialan brushed her fingertips over the black box, and the golden spear, Tianque, automatically shot out.
She grasped the spear’s handle, stomped her feet heavily on the ground, and her figure transformed into a deep blue light, following Cao Yuan to the front line of the beast tide!
Madman Cao Yuan and the immortal Jialan, one black and one blue, were like two iron nails driven into the gap, firmly blocking the surging beast tide, fighting bloodily at the forefront!
At the same time, the plump Bai Li, with his hand hovering in the air, gently flipped it, causing the Yin-Yang Taiji Bagua diagram beneath his feet to instantly reverse.
The countless cannons suspended under the black sky simultaneously aimed at the central area of the beast tide in the gap, an endless barrage of fire and ammunition pouring down from the sky, like a precise and dense curtain of fire, gathering the scattered cannons on the city wall to deliver a massive fire strike.
This area of fire coverage, nearly ten times denser than before, greatly slowed the speed at which the subsequent beast tide entered the gap, creating a hard division between the tide entering the gap and those still outside.
An Qingyu, Shen Qingzhu, and Jiang Er moved simultaneously.
An Qingyu, carrying the black coffin, clapped his hands against the ground, and icy frost vines surged from beneath his feet, like fierce venomous snakes, weaving through the figures of Cao Yuan and Jialan, crashing into the dense mass of beasts, spreading frost everywhere.
These frosts coalesced into a frozen ground around the beast tide, slowing their advance. Whenever a “mysterious” broke the vines, large amounts of purple mist would erupt from within the vines. Any “mysterious” that touched this purple mist would begin to show spots on their bodies, swaying as if drunk, looking extremely bizarre.
Snap——!!
A crisp sound echoed as the purple mist was confined and compressed by the surrounding air, rapidly extending outward along the gap, quickly covering the entire pass.
Shen Qingzhu calmly observed this scene, lightly snapping his fingers again.
The air within the purple mist was detonated by him, and a surging fire instantly covered two-thirds of the pass, trapping a large number of “mysterious” within.
At that moment, several “Klein” level “mysterious” roared out from the beast tide, breaking through the flames, purple mist, and rain of bullets, directly charging towards the black and blue figures, deep red lightning brewing in front of one of the “mysterious.”
A blurred white figure easily passed through the beast tide and crashed into its body.
Jiang Er.
As the white figure crashed into its body, in that instant, the “Klein” level mysterious felt it had lost control over its body. It suddenly turned around, and the deep red lightning it had been brewing shot out, accurately striking another “Klein” level “mysterious.”
The lightning danced, exploding and obliterating, turning that entire group of “mysterious” into clouds of dust, dissipating into the air.
The giant beast’s pupils constricted sharply, and under the intense emotional turmoil, Jiang Er was forcibly ejected from its body. But at that moment, Jialan and Madman Cao Yuan had already charged to its front, a golden beam mixed with surging malevolent flames engulfing it completely.
Behind them, Lin Qiye’s gaze swept over the chaotic gap in the pass, landing directly on the massive tide of beasts gathering outside the walls, madly pushing into the city.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
Although the other members of the Nightfall team had effectively held the pass, that was under the condition that the large beast tide outside Shenlong Pass had not yet broken in. As the number of beasts gathering outside continued to increase, the gap in the outer wall would rapidly widen, and the formation of the beast tide would return to its original state. At that point, this narrow geographical advantage would vanish.
Once the geographical advantage was lost, it would be even harder to hold Shenlong Pass.
Lin Qiye’s mind raced as he thought quickly, and after a moment, he devised a countermeasure…
He extended his hand, gently placing it on his chest, and sincerely exclaimed:
“Praise the God of Magic.”
In the next moment, a figure draped in a blue robe, holding a staff, appeared behind him, slowly merging with his body.
Soul Bearing!
His eyes became deep as a chasm, each twinkling star slicing through the darkness of his gaze, as if able to see through the trajectory of fate.
His black hair turned snow-white at a visible speed, fluttering in the wind, while at the same time, a deep blue magical robe coalesced behind him, giving him an extraordinarily mysterious aura.
A rich magical aura rapidly spread out from him!
His realm soared!
He stepped across the threshold of the “Wuliang” realm, his mental power skyrocketing at an astonishing rate, instantly reaching the peak bottleneck of the “Wuliang” realm. With a light sound, his body transcended once more, successfully stepping into the “Klein” realm.
After two and a half years, Lin Qiye used Soul Bearing for the first time, merging with Merlin.
That familiar feeling resurfaced in Lin Qiye’s heart.
In his mind, the words Merlin once told him echoed.
“A magician excels at positional warfare…”
