Chapter 215
Hearing the bad news behind him, the student knew that Tang Yin had used Shadow Drift to attack from behind him. He was so scared that he shivered. At this time, he didn't care about being embarrassed. He fell to the ground and rolled on the ground to avoid Tang Yin's attack.
But how could his rolling be faster than Shadow Drift? After Tang Yin missed the first attack, he used Shadow Drift again and flashed to the side of the student. From top to bottom, he hit another heavy punch. This time the student couldn't dodge it again. He was hit in the chest by Tang Yin's fist. With a click, the spiritual armor on the student's chest was broken. The person also groaned, his eyes rolled up, and he fainted. The spiritual armor on his body turned into spiritual mist and disappeared. The spiritual sword in his hand also returned to its original state.
Looking down at the student's appearance, Tang Yin raised the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly. It was indeed him, the noble young man he met in the Ning Army camp last time.
Seeing the young man knocked unconscious by Tang Yin's punch, the other spiritual martial arts students screamed and rushed forward to rescue him. They were fast, but Tang Yin was not slow either. He dodged the sword that was stabbed from above, then reached back and grabbed the opponent's neck. The spiritual martial arts student screamed and was about to continue swinging the sword. When Tang Yin let go, the latter raised his arm with force, raised it above his head with one hand, and then used all his strength to smash it to the ground.
Plop!
The loud noise shook the city wall for a few times. Looking at the spiritual martial arts student again, his body smashed several large bricks of the city wall. The spiritual armor on his body was gone, and he lay on the ground motionless, also fainted.
After knocking out another person, Tang Yin turned his head and shouted to Shangguan Yuanrang: "Yuanrang, capture more people alive!" Shangguan Yuanrang laughed and said: "Understood!" These spiritual martial arts students who had reached the spiritual transformation realm posed no threat to the two of them. Under the combined punches and kicks of the two of them, more than half of them fell to the ground in an instant. The remaining few were so scared that their souls flew away. They dared not stay and screamed and turned to run. However, how could human legs be faster than the shadow drifting like instant movement? Tang Yin flashed in front of several people while shaking his body, blocking their way with his sickle. Seeing this, several students were horrified and turned around to run back. As soon as they turned halfway, they saw Shangguan Yuanrang holding a knife in one hand standing behind them calmly, with a pair of shining tiger eyes staring at them. "If you want to live, it's easy! Put down your weapons, disperse your spiritual armor, and surrender obediently! Otherwise," Shangguan Yuanrang pointed at the corpses on the ground with the tip of his knife and sneered, "You will be like them!"
Several spiritual martial arts students were still making their last struggles. Their only hope now was to wait for the Ning army under the city to rush up and save them from the crisis. In fact, the Ning army attacking the city did gather here, setting up ladders and preparing to climb up.
Hearing the movement under the city, and looking at these panicked but refusing to surrender spiritual martial arts students, Tang Yin immediately understood their intentions. He snorted and chuckled, handed the sickle to his left hand, stretched out his free right hand, and said slowly: "Don't dream if you want to wait for them to save you, no one can come up!" As he spoke, thick black fog emerged from his palm and condensed in his palm. The black fog became more and more concentrated, and finally condensed into a small black ball shining with a faint light.
Several students saw it clearly and shouted in unison: "Shadow Curse!" Just after shouting, several people shouted in unison to the city: "Get out of the way, get out of the way..."
Not to mention that the Ning soldiers outside the city didn't understand what they were shouting, even if they understood, it was too late to dodge at this time. Almost at the same time as they shouted, the black light ball in Tang Yin's hand had been thrown to the city.
The black ball hit the top of a Ning soldier's head. With a crisp sound, the black ball broke apart, and the thick black fog instantly wrapped it up. The black fog seemed to have life and drilled into the body of the Ning soldier along the seven orifices and pores of his body. As the black fog invaded, the body of the Ning soldier began to expand rapidly, and the body became larger and rounder, and even the armor on his body was cracked. Finally, the body finally couldn't bear the force of expansion and exploded with a bang.
The Ning soldiers around had never seen the Shadow Curse before, and were stunned by the scene. When the Ning soldier's body exploded, they all stood there like wooden stakes, without even making the most basic evasive movements. Suddenly, a circle of Ning soldiers were affected by the Shadow Curse. After being stuck to the black meat, their bodies began to expand rapidly, and finally exploded, leaving no bones. In just a blink of an eye, the Shadow Curse spread among the unprepared Ning army. Large groups of Ning soldiers were affected by it and became part of the spread of the Shadow Curse.
The Ning army camp under the city was in chaos. People had never seen such a vicious and brutal spiritual martial arts skill, and they cried and fled. Running for life is the best choice to avoid the Shadow Curse. As a large number of Ning soldiers fled, the Shadow Curse lost its target of attack and finally subsided in the black flesh and blood on the ground.
Looking down the city wall at this time, there was no complete corpse to be found, and even the original color of the ground could not be seen. Wherever the eyes could see, there was a dark mass of blood and flesh. More than 200 fresh lives died in an instant. The Shadow Spell is indeed one of the most vicious skills, but its disadvantages and advantages are equally prominent. Although it has great lethality, it is not an instant attack like the light-based spiritual skills. It is a slowly spreading attack, which makes it easy for the opponent to dodge time and space. Once the opponent is familiar with it, the damage it can cause is very limited. In addition, high-level spiritual practitioners can also release spiritual pressure to restrain the Shadow Spell. Therefore, although it is called the three major skills of the Shadow System together with Shadow Drift and Shadow Clone, it is not widely used by dark spiritual practitioners like the first two skills. At best, it is used once unexpectedly to catch the opponent off guard.
At this time, even if the attack effect of the Shadow Spell dissipated, the Ning soldiers who escaped did not dare to withdraw immediately. Looking at the black blood on the ground, they dared not step on it, and were as afraid of it as snakes and scorpions. The Ning army under the city was temporarily blocked by the shadow spell, which completely broke the last hope of several spiritual martial arts students trapped on the top of the city.
These spiritual martial arts students who were originally arrogant and arrogant had no choice but to put down their weapons, disperse their spiritual armor, and surrender to Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanrang in order to save their lives. Seeing them surrender, Tang Yin's smile deepened and he shook his head to Shangguan Yuanrang. The latter understood and dispersed his spiritual armor while taking out the spirit-dispersing pill, forcing the spiritual martial arts students to take it, and then called the Feng army soldiers to tie them all up and press them under the city.
The group of spiritual martial arts students that Zhan Wudi found had a total of more than 50 people, but more than half of them were killed in the end. Only six or seven of the remaining people escaped, and the others became prisoners of the Feng army.
However, they also played a certain role, at least attracting the two main generals, Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanrang, which created a gap for the Ning army to attack the city. Under the personal command of Zhan Wudi, the Ning army seized the opportunity, used the human wave tactics to withstand the defense of the Feng army, and rushed to the city wall again. The battle between the two sides also turned into close combat again.
The bravest wins when they meet on a narrow road! The competition in the frontal fight is no longer a simple battle of combat power and equipment, but more of a competition of will. As the melee between the two sides began, the soldiers of both sides were bloodshot. Looking up, the whole wall was in a life-and-death battle. From time to time, soldiers screamed and fell in a pool of blood, and from time to time, people screamed and fell off the wall.
When Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanrang retreated to the main battlefield, the melee between the two sides had been going on for a while. Tens of thousands of Ning troops rushed to the top of the city and controlled a section of the city wall of about 20 meters, and had stabilized their position. Tang Yin was not good at strategy, but in the close combat, his reaction and adaptability were extremely strong.
He quickly observed the situation on the battlefield, and made corresponding analysis while his mind was working rapidly. He said to Shangguan Yuanrang in a hurry: "Yuanrang, you hold this side, I will go to the other side, you and I will guard one side separately, no matter what, we must withstand the impact of the Ning army and find a way to drive them back to the city!"
"Understood!" Shangguan Yuanrang put on the spiritual armor again and responded simply.
Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanrang met the Ning army rushing up. The former did not stop, dragging his sickle and flashing directly into the crowd of Ning army, passing through the Ning army camp directly to the other side of his side. While he was performing the continuous shadow drift, dozens of Ning soldiers died under his sickle.
The arrival of him and Shangguan Yuanrang stabilized the situation of Feng army in time. Tang Yin led the crowd on the left side of the city wall, and Shangguan Yuanrang on the right side of the city wall. The two of them pushed the Ning army in the center, so that its control range could not continue to expand.
Next, it was a bloody battle between the two sides.
The fighting between the soldiers of both sides has reached a fever pitch. The soldiers of the Feng army frantically thrust their spears forward. Under the continuous collision with the steel armor, the sharp spear tips were worn flat. The spears were blunt, so the soldiers drew out their sabers and continued to chop frantically.
At this time, the fierce and warlike side of the Feng people was fully exerted. In order to reduce the burden, many exhausted soldiers who had been killed simply took off their armor and went into battle bare-chested. Their sabers were all wrapped around their wrists with cloth strips. Even if they were injured or fell by the enemy, they would not let the weapons fall out of their hands. They would continue to fight even if they were crawling on the ground.
The soldiers of the Ning army fell in groups, and the soldiers of the Feng army also fell in rows. The bodies of the personnel of both sides were piled up layer by layer, and the blood had washed the top of the city into blood red.
The battlefield was like a huge meat grinder, running and devouring all the lives on the battlefield.
Due to the heavy casualties, the troops were used to the limit. There were no spare personnel. The injured Feng soldiers could not be carried down, and no one cared to carry the injured comrades. The military doctors in the Feng army had already run to the top of the city. As long as the soldiers in the front were injured and evacuated, they could treat and bandage them on the spot.
The 20,000 Feng soldiers resisted the 100,000 Ning soldiers. The hardship of the battle can be imagined. As the battle continued, the 20,000 Feng soldiers had lost countless people. Even the surviving soldiers were all wounded and covered in blood. They couldn't tell which was their own and which was the enemy's.
