Chapter 146 Offensive and Defensive Battle

The armadillo monster continued to use the same trick, curling its body into a ball and rolling rapidly in the sea of ​​fire, actually preparing to force its way out of the fire.

"hehe!"

A cold smile appeared on the long face. With a flick of his wrist, the Fire Spirit Orb rose rapidly and circled quickly in the air, closely chasing the armadillo monster. The extremely hot flames burned the armadillo monster's shell without stopping.

The battlefield between the two sides quickly spread outwards, and the surrounding monsters suffered greatly. First, they were burned half their lives by the terrifying flames, and then they were crushed by the sphere like a millstone.

No matter how fearless the monsters were, they were all terrified at this moment and fled from the two of them without saying a word.

"Snapped!"

Just then, the grayish-brown whip reappeared and lashed out at the Fire Spirit Orb in the air. Realizing something was wrong, the Grand Elder's expression changed, and he quickly controlled the Fire Spirit Orb to fly upwards and escape the whip.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the armadillo monster quickly rolled to the side and hurriedly opened its bone armor. Puffs of hot air mixed with the aroma of meat wafted out. The armadillo monster quickly rolled twice on the ground to lower the temperature.

"So it was a tail. It has such terrifying power and speed."

Only then did the elder realize the true identity of the grayish-brown whip: it was actually the other party's thin and long tail.

He had a headache. If it were just curled up into a ball, it wouldn't be so bad. Although it would be difficult to deal with, he could eventually defeat it by slowly wearing it down. But now, when attacking the opponent, he also had to be careful of its tail. The pressure was much greater than before.

"Bang!"

Just then, a gray shadow suddenly crashed down from the sky, causing the ground within a radius of dozens of miles to tremble violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.

"Cough cough..."

As the smoke cleared, the clan chief emerged from the crater in a disheveled state. His spirit robe had been reduced to tattered strips, and there were several bloody welts on his back.

"This bastard is not someone to be trifled with."

The clan leader, his face ashen, looked up at the sky. A black eagle, its wingspan blotting out the sun, let out a triumphant cry. The next moment, it folded its massive wings and suddenly increased its speed.

White rings encircled its steel-like feathers, and in an instant, it left the sound far behind.

"Damn it!"

The clan leader cursed under his breath, and the magic sword in his hand instantly grew to a hundred feet tall, slashing heavily down at the charging black eagle demon beast.

"clang!"

A clang of steel clashing rang out, and a loud crash came from the Grand Elder's magic sword. Sparks flew from the hundred-foot-tall sword, followed by a tremendous force that sent the sword flying backward ten miles.

The clan chief had no choice but to grit his teeth and retract his magic sword. Only then did he see that the earth had been plowed open, leaving a large pit that was twenty feet wide and more than ten miles long.

The soil on the surface of the pit became as smooth and solid as glass.

"Cough cough..."

The clan chief coughed twice, then looked down at his magic sword, which he had used for decades. There was a nick the size of a fingernail on it, which the black eagle had carved out with its steel-like beak.

"Damn it, if it weren't for the tight schedule and the inability to find a second-tier high-grade magic sword, how could this beast be so arrogant?"

The clan leader felt both heartache and resentment. This black eagle had been breaking through for quite some time and its strength was approaching that of a cultivator at the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment stage. In addition, although Foundation Establishment cultivators could fly, their agility and aerial combat skills were far inferior to those of these birds. Therefore, for a time, he could only be beaten up everywhere.

While they held off the second-tier demonic beasts, the beast tide slowly but steadily advanced to the defensive line near Wuliang Mountain.

"thump!"

The Xu family cultivators temporarily dug a huge trench, three zhang deep and twenty li long. The first wave of demonic beasts was the weakest. Even if they wanted to stop when they saw the trench, the demonic beasts behind them would crowd forward, one wave pushing the next.

As a result, the first monster fell directly into the trench, and then one after another, the monsters that were lucky enough not to be crushed to death sniffed, as if they had smelled something wrong.

"ignition!"

Xu Yuanlu roared, and Xu Yuanyan, who was at the front line, slapped his spirit beast pouch hard. The next moment, a small red bird flew out and flew a hundred feet away in an instant before crashing hard into the trench.

"boom!"

A huge fireball instantly rose from where the Firebird landed, followed by a fire snake that seemed to come alive and rapidly extended to both sides along the trench.

"It's a success!"

Xu Yuanmei couldn't help but hug Xu Lingmin beside her as she watched the flames rise. Her face, flushed red by the firelight, was filled with ecstasy. It was her idea to dig trenches and pour flammable grease into them.

It seems that tens of thousands of demonic beasts were instantly burned to death. If rewards are given afterward, she will definitely deserve credit for her contribution.

"Good, good, well done."

Xu Lingmin smiled and praised her from the side. In the distance, the towering flames transformed into a city wall, temporarily blocking the charge of the beast tide and forcibly separating some of the demon beasts.

"Brothers, kill!"

Xu Yuanzhen, who had been lying in ambush near the trench, suddenly burst out of the cave. As expected, a large number of demonic beasts were separated by the flames.

"A swift and decisive victory!"

The Azure Profound Sword gleamed with dazzling spiritual light, and a late-stage first-tier Azure Horned Sheep appeared before him. With a burst of spiritual energy, he pierced through the beast's incredibly sturdy horns.

The battle was over in an instant; the massive body of the horned sheep slammed heavily onto the ground, and for a moment, the entire arena fell silent.

"quick!"

Compared to the demonic beasts, the cultivators reacted first. In addition, most of the soldiers in this battle were elites from the Xu family. Therefore, the battle was almost one-sided. In less than a quarter of an hour, the isolated demonic beasts were all killed.

At least 20,000 first-tier demonic beasts must have been killed, but from a distance, it was only a small part of the battlefield. Meanwhile, the beast tide that had been blocked by the flames began to swell again.

No matter how terrified the monsters in front of them were, or how much they struggled, they had no choice but to move forward as if they were on their own.

One by one, the demonic beasts had no choice but to watch themselves slowly enter the flames.

Although they were demonic beasts, stronger than ordinary wild animals and possessing demonic power, they were too weak to ignore the flames, and a continuous wailing sound rang out.

However, the wailing disappeared in an instant, as if nothing had ever happened.

Following closely behind, the second and third waves of monsters were squeezed into the trench. Their numbers were so great that they slowly filled the trench and blocked the flames. The monster tide continued to advance by stepping on the trench.

Xu Yuanzhen, who was engaged in battle at the time, saw this scene and hurriedly waved to the crowd.

"These monsters have gone mad, retreat!"
