Chapter 645: Chapter 189: Netherworld, Poisonous Scheme_2
For a time, ghost fog surged, and ghost energy pervaded. The nearby battlefield was shrouded by an ice-cold and bitterly chilly aura.
From the mouth of the skull, a black vortex rapidly spun, transforming into a path leading to the Netherworld.
The Ghost Gate Pass towered into the clouds, wider than a mountain peak.
“Not good!” Realizing the gravity of the situation, Du Tiechuan thought to divert the direction of the iron torrent.
However, the spellcasting of the Heaven and Earth Ghosts was swift. The Ghost Gate Pass rapidly took shape. Coupled with one of the iron torrent’s flaws being its difficulty to change direction, this left Du Tiechuan with no time to adjust. He could only go with the flow, controlling the iron torrent as it charged straight ahead into the Ghost Gate Pass.
“Hahahaha!” Seeing this scene, Lord Long’s anger turned to joy.
Lu Hongtu smiled.
Many Cultivators among the allies also heaved a sigh of relief, issuing deafening cheers.
“We won, we’ve won!”
“Who are these two Ghost Cultivators?”
“Obviously, they are powerful figures secretly arranged by Lord Long.”
“To be able to summon such a massive ghost gate, who exactly are these two Ghost Cultivators?”
“Hahaha, Du Tiechuan, aren’t you capable of charging? Then charge into the Netherworld to fight the enemy.”
Many Cultivators in the alliance lost their composure.
The grand battle began, and the terrifying prowess of the iron torrent truly frightened many, leaving almost everyone deeply staggered. Especially seeing the iron torrent continuously break through four Divine Mountains, its unstoppable and overwhelming momentum, it cast a shadow over everyone’s hearts.
The unique tricks of the Heaven and Earth Ghosts were like a sunlight sword, instantly piercing the heavy shadow in everyone’s hearts.
Since it was impossible to stop the iron torrent head-on, they created another way, redirecting it to other places!
This was the strategy arranged by the Dragon King Temple.
Lord Long was the person directly executing it, and for this, he did not hesitate to pay a high price to bring the Heaven and Earth Ghosts for support.
“Commander, how should we proceed?” The Deputy General next to Du Tiechuan asked anxiously.
Du Tiechuan snorted coldly, his face filled with determination: “Keep charging!”
Boom.
The iron torrent hesitated not at all, carrying its fierce impact force as it collided with the Ghost Gate Pass.
The central part of the army torrent surged in large amounts into the ghost gate, stepping from the Mortal World into the Netherworld.
However, the iron torrents on both sides continuously collided with the frames of the Ghost Gate Pass.
The frames on both sides immediately emitted creaking noises, teetering on the brink of collapse.
The Heaven and Earth Ghosts’ expressions changed drastically, having consumed their foundation and a large amount of Treasure to temporarily create the strongest Ghost Gate Pass.
It could be said that the strength of this Ghost Gate Pass had broken their personal record, the sturdiest one in history!
But, having just withstood the impact, it was already unable to hold.
What followed was even more shocking to the Ghosts.
The giant skull on the Ghost Gate Pass let out a groaning sound, actually attempting to forcefully close its mouth.
“Swallowing Heaven and Earth Spirits?!”
The Heaven and Earth Ghosts had never seen the ghost gods they summoned so uncomfortable and in pain.
This ghost god was like a duck, grabbed by the neck, forcibly being fed into its mouth and throat.
Its arrogance dissipated at that moment, feeling too stuffed and on the verge of exploding!
Just as it felt that it could no longer hold on, the Ghost Gate Pass first failed to endure, emitting a dull roar, then tilting and collapsing within the iron torrent, smashing into numerous black shadow waves, quickly being washed away to rubble.
And the path to the Netherworld, in an instant, became elusive and void, dissipating like mist.
The road ahead of the Heavy Armor Main Army became extremely solid again, reverting to the mountain path of the Mortal World.
The Heaven and Earth Ghosts suffered backlash, their energy plummeting. Both in shock and uncertain, they staggered, immediately activated a small transport formation, and withdrew from the battlefield.
The iron torrent continued its onslaught, causing all ordinary mountains in its path to continuously collapse, shaking the heavens and the earth.
However, the Heavy Armor Army also lost twenty percent of its forces.
They had not perished but had fallen into the Netherworld.
This was the first heavy blow suffered by the Iron Stream Flat Country Military Art since its release!
But such an outcome did not satisfy the Thousand Peak Forest Alliance.
For the enemy’s main forces were still intact.
The Heaven and Earth Ghosts had already been an unexpectedly strong reinforcement, but the power of the ghost gate was not enough to suppress the enemy.
“With such might, can we really resist?”
“This is the grandeur of the Cultivation Kingdom! Du Tiechuan, one of the Upper Generals, only today do I truly understand the significance of this position.”
“A newly established army, thus under heavy enhancement, has acquired the might of Divinity Transformation. Alas…”
Lu Hongtu saw that the cultivators looked disheartened and depressed and immediately opened his mouth to inspire them, saying: “No worries.”
“I have already devised an ingenious plan to deal with Du Tiechuan.”
“Next, no matter what decision he makes, he will suffer a heavy blow.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up, all looking towards Lu Hongtu.
“Great Cave Master, what is your plan?”
“Please tell us quickly.”
Lu Hongtu smiled: “Just watch and see.”
The iron flood surged relentlessly through Thousand Peak Forest, charging in all directions.
After passing Ghost Gate Pass, they encountered no other obstructions.
However, Du Tiechuan’s heart was filling with an increasing sense of foreboding.
He thought to himself: “The situation is strange! Given Lord Long and Lu Hongtu’s capabilities, they wouldn’t be without other plans.”
“What could it possibly be?”
The main forces of Liangzhu Country moved forward continuously, gradually catching sight of Giant Tree Mountain with a dragon head, towering into the clouds. The surrounding mountains only reached half its height, thus it was very conspicuous, standing out like a crane among chickens.
“Target spotted!”
“Dragon King Giant Tree Mountain, where the main temple of the Dragon King is located!”
“Break through it, and the enemy’s morale will definitely plummet, even affecting the strength of the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King.”
In the iron flood, the soldiers were invigorated.
They had rushed here, and despite being reinforced by multiple military arts, they were feeling tired.
Ning Zhuo’s condition was generally better than those around him.
This was thanks to the Fetal Breathing Spirit Boat, which had rapidly boosted his physical foundation in a short time.
Although he participated in the battle, he invested more energy in perception.
He continuously perceived the Iron Stream Flat Country Military Art, making significant progress.
His understanding of military art had also improved more intuitively.
When the army initially mobilized, he could only sense around three hundred people nearby. But as he actively perceived and increased his understanding of the military art, he could now sense more than five hundred people nearby.
Not only that, but he could also feel the vague thoughts of more than a hundred people nearby, sensing the emotions of more than two hundred people.
“If I could sense the vague thoughts of all the soldiers in the army, perhaps I would be able to completely comprehend the Iron Stream Flat Country Military Art,” Ning Zhuo had a vague realization.
The forces of the Thousand Peak Forest Alliance were already panicking.
Someone questioned Lu Hongtu: “Army Division, the enemy has now attacked our main base. What about your plan?”
Lu Hongtu laughed heartily: “The time has come, just watch!”
The next moment, on the mountain path in front of them, as if a layer of canvas had been uncovered, a military camp suddenly appeared.
In the camp, soldiers were heavily guarded, and military flags fluttered.
“Ah?!” For a moment, both friend and foe shouted in shock.
Because the suddenly appearing camp was none other than the Vanguard Army of Liangzhu Country!
The Vanguard Army of Liangzhu Country, which was clearly on another battlefield surrounded by heavy miasma, how could they appear here?
Most cultivators in the alliance felt greatly perplexed.
So did Du Tiechuan.
He sent reconnaissance cavalry deep into the miasma, losing many lives, only to find out that the vanguard forces were maintaining their defenses and were momentarily safe.
But now, this army was here!
Even the entire vanguard army was perplexed and shocked.
They had always thought they were defending in place, so how did they suddenly shift locations to deep inside the enemy’s lair?!
They didn’t have time to consider this issue before they quickly realized they were in a desperate situation.
The iron flood was close at hand!
Vanguard Army: “Is this Commander Du’s iron flood? Bad, we can’t hold them off!”
Du Tiechuan’s Deputy General turned pale: “Commander! Turn around quickly, ahead is the Vanguard Army, our allies. If we break through and slaughter them, our morale will be severely shaken!!”
The armies of the Thousand Peak Forest Alliance cried out in alarm, followed by continuous cheers.
“Brilliant, what a brilliant strategy!”
“Army Division Lu, truly fitting of you.”
“Brilliant strategy, indeed a brilliant strategy!!”
