Song Ji made a move, scattering countless rays of clear light.
Mo Yechen's parrot had already grown larger, becoming a mount for him, allowing Mo Yechen to ride it and fly over the battlefield. Mo Yechen frequently cast spells, doing his utmost to aid the defenders on the walls of Liangzhu Country.
Besides the cultivators, there were also two types of heavy military machinery in operation.
Beiming Rapid Freeze Light!
Deadly Parting Li Fire!
In the face of such an offensive, the Nascent Soul Cultivators primarily focused on evading. Enhanced by military power, these heavy machines displayed formidable power.
Lord Long sighed deeply.
As soon as the military order for a full assault was issued, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically.
However, despite the Thousand Peak Forest Alliance Army launching a powerful wave of attacks, Liangzhu Country, relying on their strong wall defenses, still managed to hold on.
"It's our turn now, Daoist Lu," said Lord Long to Lu Hongtu beside him.
The latter nodded slightly.
Lord Long and Lu Hongtu entered the battlefield simultaneously!
In an instant, the morale of Liangzhu Country's army plummeted. Lord Long and Lu Hongtu had already proven their combat prowess in previous ambushes.
The participation of these two Nascent Soul Level powerhouses also signaled that nearly all the top-tier warriors of the Thousand Peak Forest Alliance Army had joined the battle!
Lord Long's body gradually expanded, his figure no longer hunched, and his eyes shot out fierce light, swiftly transforming into a robust middle-aged man.
Lu Hongtu took out the Six Cave Sect's treasured artifact—Light Mountain and Heavy Mist Map. Although the map was not unfurled, it still emitted layers of mist that enveloped Lu Hongtu entirely.
Boom!
Lord Long struck with overwhelming force, each move fierce, smashing the Daoist Soldiers of Bilang into pieces and causing sections of the wall to collapse in succession.
Wherever Lu Hongtu went, the cultivators of Liangzhu Country were absorbed into the map, severing internal and external connections.
"Damn it." Shuang Ling hovered in the air, surrounded by various mechanical artifacts that formed layers of defenses.
Awkwardly, in such a battle situation, she became a place of no interest to anyone.
Shuang Ling had to devote most of her energy and divine sense to the Soft Bone Xuanji, entangling Xiang Yue. But this left her powerless to deal with formidable foes like Lord Long.
"Zhao Xi, you are currently the overall commander. The enemy commander has entered the fight, and you're still sitting there?!" Shuang Ling transmitted this through divine sense to Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi immediately rejected this: "I'm just a mere Golden Core Level cultivator, temporarily serving as a commander. My responsibilities are immense. If I were to fall, what would happen to the morale of the army?"
"Who knows what madness possessed that old bastard Lord Long to launch a full assault suddenly. I'm not crazy or stupid; I won't take such a risk lightly!"
Shuang Ling was extremely exasperated. She knew many of Zhao Xi's secrets and believed that with enough effort and hidden cards, Zhao Xi, even as a Golden Core, could hold off Lord Long or Xiang Yue temporarily.
But Zhao Xi clearly lacked the spirit and determination for combat, consistently avoiding direct confrontation.
Shuang Ling decided to take action, flying down to the camp.
The mechanical artifacts around her followed closely, guarding her safely to the ground.
"Auntie." Shuangjing, responding to the divine sense call, quickly arrived at Shuang Ling's side. "What are your orders?"
With a stern expression, Shuang Ling said, "Next, I will use my Nascent Soul to fully operate the Soft Bone Xuanji Mechanism Puppet."
"During this time, my physical body will be unconscious; I need you to personally guard me!"
Shuangjing was surprised but nodded: "Auntie, I will lead White Jade Camp and use every last soldier to protect your body!"
Shuang Ling forced a smile, patting Shuangjing's shoulder: "The situation is complicated, and I can only trust you."
Shuangjing immediately led White Jade Camp, retreating to the second line to protect Shuang Ling.
Alone in the room, although guarded by Shuangjing and White Jade Camp, the Mechanical Princess remained vigilant.
Before sitting down to meditate, she set up three defensive magic arrays around her, activated the protective talisman, and placed various handy magic treasures within easy reach.
Shuang Ling successfully cast her spell, her head drooping as her Nascent Soul flew out from her body, then transmitted through the array into the Soft Bone Xuanji Mechanism Puppet.
In an instant, the Soft Bone Xuanji let out a delicate cry, her movements becoming twice as agile as before.
Using mechanical techniques, she first neutralized Xiang Yue's fierce attack with softness, then imprinted her palms on Xiang Yue's chest, sending him crashing to the ground.
Boom.
Xiang Yue, with his hulking body, fell, causing a dull thud and raising a cloud of dust.
Everyone turned to see the scene, and many Thousand Peak Forest cultivators widened their eyes in disbelief.
Boom!
Almost simultaneously, a large section of wall also crumbled.
The perpetrator was none other than Lord Long!
Lord Long looked back, glanced at the fallen Xiang Yue, and then charged into the camp, causing a fierce wind and blood rain wherever he went.
Despite Liangzhu Country soldiers fighting valiantly, the overwhelming power difference made it easy for Lord Long to annihilate them.
Lord Long's display greatly boosted the morale of the alliance army.
Golden Core Cultivators like Chen Lingfeng and Wu Hen either fought alone or led troops, pouring onto the battlefield like a tide.
Numerous soldiers, like a mighty river, flooded through the breaches in the wall, engaging in fierce combat with the Liangzhu Country Army in the camp.
Red Flower Camp formed the Red Flower Battle Formation, White Jade Camp stood firm, and Fire Cloud Camp ascended into the sky, unleashing a fiery rain...
On the Thousand Peak Forest side, there were also various armies. Iron Bone Army charged into the city with no regard for losses; Shadow Attack Army wielding double blades, their assaults fierce and vicious; and Xuanwu Army unleashed all sorts of spells, each strange and extraordinary...
Seeing Lord Long difficult to restrain, the Mechanical Princess made a firm decision, using mechanical techniques—Soft Bone Formless!
In the next moment, her mechanical body became as flexible and free as willow branches or a serpent, her entire body growing extremely supple.
Waves of flexible energy emanated from her puppet body, spreading outward, enveloping and crushing everything in its path!
Engaging with Xiang Yue, after several rounds, she shattered many of his fingers, even splitting his trunk in two, blood flowing profusely, severely wounding him.
Shuang Ling repelled Xiang Yue but did not press her advantage.
This was because Xiang Yue had activated divine skills, focusing on defense and accelerating his recovery, making it impossible to defeat him swiftly.
Meanwhile, as Lord Long rampaged through the city, the screams of comrades gave Shuang Ling immense pressure, forcing her to abandon Xiang Yue temporarily and turn back to stop Lord Long.
However, once Xiang Yue was no longer pressured, he quickly regained momentum, becoming a greater threat and causing more carnage.
Shuang Ling was forced to fight on two fronts, constantly putting out the fires, running herself ragged.
"Zhao Xi! If you don't act now, I'll dethrone you when this is over!" Shuang Ling raged, thoroughly losing her temper.
Zhao Xi: "Shuang Ling, I'm not not fighting. Liu, take Three Generals Camp and intercept Xiang Yue!"
Seeing their side's increasingly dire situation, Zhao Xi didn't dare be careless and quickly dispatched Three Generals Camp.
"You want us to fight Xiang Yue?" Guan Hong narrowed his eyes.
Zhang Hei eagerly said, "That's great. I haven't had a direct fight with Xiang Yue yet."
Liu Er forced a smile; being one of Zhao Xi's men, he knew this was an awful task but had to grit his teeth to carry it out.
After all, being accepted among the top ranks as a half-blood was rare.
Three Generals Camp formed an Iron Bucket Formation, channeling military power into the three generals.
Liu Er wielded the Xuanhuang Sword, charging at Xiang Yue, only to be sent flying back.
Liu Er spat blood, three ribs broken, yet he smiled: "Xiang Yue is greatly weakened. With the three of us, we can fight him!"
Guan Hong and Zhang Hei joined in; although neither could match Xiang Yue alone, they could temporarily preserve their lives.
"Three annoying mice," Xiang Yue grumbled, frustrated by the trio's interference limiting his actions.
Meanwhile, Liu Guanzhang gave their all, not daring to make the slightest mistake!
Xiang Yue could afford countless errors, but Liu Guanzhang knew one slip could mean death.
"Little Zhuo, it's our chance!" Sun Lingtong suddenly said.
"Yes, I see it," Ning Zhuo had been observing the battlefield.
He saw the Demon Heart Cave Master rejoining the fight.
This separated the Demon Heart Cave Master from his son, Lin You.
Ning Zhuo never forgot his original purpose in coming to Liangzhu Country.
That was to reclaim his mother's relics!
