Chapter 736: Chapter 10: Wall of a Thousand Bones

Xiao Jie observed the battlefield, quickly calculating the strengths of both the attacking and defending sides.

On the defense side, there were about a thousand assorted NPC soldiers.

Dozens of elite-level officers, and over ten elite-level Pure Yang Mages and Taiyin Soul Masters.

Finally, leading the forces were several Soul Suppressing Captains, along with two worldly experts from the Taiyin Law Conference and Pure Yang Sect, Miao Ruijin (Taiyin True Man) and Huang Zitao (Pure Yang Heavenly Master).

Looking at the attacking side, the scale was much larger, with a vast expanse of zombies, skeletons, resurrected corpse soldiers, and wailing ghosts outside the city wall, almost uncountable.

There were also hundreds of powerful Netherworld soldiers serving as the backbone, all over Level 30 or even Level 40 high-level monsters.

But the greatest threat remained the Four Ghost Generals, all of Boss-level, with formidable combat strength.

Facing one would already be difficult, but with four appearing together, coordinating their attacks, they were even more dangerous.

Fortunately, the high and thick walls of Soul Suppressing City limited the Boss’s strength, and as long as the walls weren’t breached, the defenders could take advantage of the terrain to fight.

No matter how many enemies there were, if they couldn’t get beyond the walls, it would be in vain. Currently, the main threat came from the few hundred Netherworld Ghost Soldiers; they were a real army with siege capabilities, so careful handling was necessary.

The urgent task was to hold the city wall.

Luckily, there were only a dozen or so Floating Corpses, which meant only a dozen breaches. Most of these gaps were blocked by the soldiers on the wall, but there were still five or six unblocked.

At this moment, Xiao Jie swiftly assigned personnel to fill the gaps.

The high-level players at the forefront hurled various secret techniques towards the monster horde recklessly.

Mixed Element Qi Breaking Mountains and Rivers!

Ox Demon Split Earth Wave!

Phoenix Sky Destruction!

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of explosions caused by the Qi Force continuously blasted in the air, scattering the undead climbing the city wall instantly.

This kind of frontal battle, indeed, relied on experts to hold the line; a single secret technique could often neutralize a massive threat.

The mages at the rear also performed their spells.

Strawberry Coke summoned Thunderbolts, Bai Ze shot out sword shadows filling the sky, and Dida La summoned blazing flames to attack the top of the wall.

High-level physical-based melee fighters quickly blocked the gaps, while those with lower levels and not daring to charge the front line, frantically threw gunpowder jars and kerosene pots at the gaps built by the Floating Corpses.

Boom, boom, boom! A series of explosions forcibly repelled this wave of attacks.

"Quickly, throw down the straw bundles and wood bundles!"

The logistics team rushed to the edge of the wall, frantically throwing flammable materials down.

In the blink of an eye, the area around the Floating Corpses was piled up with straw and wood bundles, and with a few gunpowder jars smashed down, it instantly ignited a raging fire.

These Floating Corpses had high blood volume, and who knew how much damage would be wasted to eliminate them all one by one.

It would be better to create some environmental damage to slowly burn them; ultimately, they would be burned to death.

"Hahaha, good boy, I knew I wasn’t wrong about you." The old captain said with relief, while mobilizing forces from within the city to fully man the city wall.

The mages from the Pure Yang Sect also began activating the enormous runes on the walls, forming golden light screens suspended in mid-air to resist the attacks from the ghosts and evil spirits from the sky.

For a while, the battle line was successfully stabilized.

Xiao Jie thought to himself that it was fortunate they arrived in time; if they had been ten or fifteen minutes later, it would have been over.

But underneath the city wall, the Four Ghost Generals were not so happy.

"Didn’t you say those returnees had been held up?" Duan Zui snarled at the shadow behind him.

At this moment, the shadow had completely transformed into a member of the Netherworld Clan.

He hadn’t gone looking for his girl for one last hurrah; his opening of the Ghost Gate’s seal this time was not merely to gain strength.

It was also to trigger the ensuing chain reaction, as this huge battle was naturally not to be missed.

Questioned by the Four Ghost Generals, the shadow remained silent for a moment.

(Damn, was that madwoman Weiyang setting me up?)

Though feeling strained inside, the quick talker instantly found a retort. To play this game well, one must learn to deal with NPCs and be proficient in conversation.

"Returnees are everywhere in the world, thousands upon thousands; how could not a single one come?"

"Though I held back most of them, there will always be some who coincidentally show up. You should know there are usually many returnees at Soul Suppressing Pass, and in Fengyin State, there are thousands of returnees. Now that only a few have come, it’s already my merit. Without my delay, thousands might have arrived by now."

"You Netherworld Ghost Clan members pride yourselves on being strong, don’t you? Can’t you handle just a few returnees?"

With a few words, he had completely extricated himself while also questioning the opponent.

The Four Ghost Generals hesitated a bit, seemingly...that seemed to be the case.

"Hmph, just a few returnees are nothing; we naturally don’t take them seriously."

"Exactly, that’s it." The shadow continued, "Generals, don’t hesitate. The enemies are few in number and just rely on the terrain; as long as we breach the walls, they won’t be able to hold. Do you have any other siege tactics?"

Duan Zui (Netherworld Ghost General): "Of course, brothers, let’s use that move —"

Jue Gu (Netherworld Ghost General): "Good, gather the troops and break the city in one go!"

Ling Mie (Netherworld Ghost General): "Soldiers from the Netherworld, warriors, gather and fight with me!"

Evil Shadow (Netherworld Ghost General): "Once the city is breached, leave no survivors!"
