Chapter 694 - 446: Battle, Fall of Shuyue City
"Everyone! The demon army is vast! We must rely on the advantage of the array to secure victory!"
"Indeed! Don’t rush too far forward, or don’t blame others for not saving you when you encounter trouble!"
"Clear the way! I, an old man, have a Sword Sea Sky-covering Skill that’s excellent against large groups of enemies! Don’t blame me if you get accidentally injured!"
...
For a moment, the sky above Shuyue Pavilion was filled with the voices of many innate humans debating. In the face of a formidable enemy, they demonstrated strong willpower and rationality, with no one considering fleeing.
Wang Zhifan glanced over these strong allies, feeling that although the enemy seemed more powerful, if they were united, they still had a fighting chance.
"Perhaps I should apply that skill to everyone... but my words carry little weight, they definitely won’t accept it easily..."
Thinking of this, before the enemy army truly arrived, Wang Zhifan quickly said to Long Dao beside him:
"I have a technique called the Life Link Method that’s perfect for the current situation. It allows up to ten people to link their lives together, greatly increasing survival ability. Let’s call on your kinsmen and Qingyangzi to join forces..."
As Wang Zhifan quickly explained the situation, Long Dao immediately understood his intention and flew towards her kinsmen, while Wang Zhifan went to contact Qingyangzi and the other three present.
The three great innate experts of Celestial Essence City were observing the enemy formation at the edge of the array in the sky. As they sensed Wang Zhifan approaching, they turned towards him, seemingly puzzled as to why he separated from his beloved Long Dao to find them.
Wang Zhifan then expressed his idea, which immediately caught the attention of the three Daoists.
"If this Life Link Method is as you say, it indeed suits battles well. Then quickly apply it to the four of us!"
Zhenxu, the eldest Daoist, accepted the new idea the fastest, lightly flicking his whisk.
"Four people is a bit too few, find six more for maximum effect! Follow me quickly!"
Seeing how easily he won them over, Wang Zhifan hurriedly led them towards the Mieyue Race’s side.
Wang Zhifan found that his beloved Long Dao was still explaining to her puzzled kinsmen what the Life Link Method was. However, since she hadn’t seen it firsthand, her explanation lacked persuasion.
But as the enemy army was about to press onto Shuyue City’s formations, Wang Zhifan didn’t have the time for lengthy explanations. He directly declared:
"Everyone! The situation is urgent! I won’t waste words! I will now execute the Life Link Secret Technique!"
Then he formed a "profound and unfathomable" spell gesture with one hand. An incredibly intangible chain, almost invisible to the naked eye, appeared around everyone, silently bypassed everyone’s waist and bound them together, like a tug-of-war team tying themselves as one.
"Is this the method the martial friend mentioned earlier? It looks a bit strange... but isn’t it too short?"
Mieyue Aotian, a clan leader in his sixties or seventies, was puzzled by the suddenly appearing ethereal chain around his waist. He touched the chain, found it had no substance, couldn’t sense any aura, and felt it was rather peculiar.
Seeing this, Wang Zhifan immediately explained to those watching him:
"Rest assured! This item won’t interfere with our combat! As long as you don’t distance too far from each other, it’s unlikely to break, allowing us to share all damage and healing, greatly enhancing everyone’s survival ability!"
As Wang Zhifan was explaining, the great formation above Shuyue City began to tremble violently.
This was the effect of thousands of Demon Venerables collectively approaching and releasing attacks. Fortunately, highly skilled humans within the formation countered them with long-range assaults. Otherwise, Shuyue City and its formation would have been reduced to ruins in this single round of attacks.
"Let’s join the battle now!"
Seeing this, Mieyue Aotian and others disregarded the method Wang Zhifan applied to them and quickly flew up to join the battle.
At this moment, all innate humans concentrated within the large character formations protecting Shuyue City.
Some unleashed powerful sword techniques towards the dark mass of enemies outside the formation, while others used Thunderfire Spells, attempting to manage enemies across the formation with thunder and flames.
Wang Zhifan continuously unleashed Dream Splendor Blade Light for long-range attacks, while Long Dao and Mieyue Clan members around him used the Breath Secret Skill to attack.
No one hastily exited the formation to avoid being focused on by numerous powerful Demon Venerables and falling.
In the early stages of this battle, which was basically a test by both sides, Wang Zhifan didn’t feel too much pressure, so he had time to perceive the broader situation of the battlefield.
He quickly noticed that not all demon lords in the demon army were attacking them, the innate humans.
Some powerful Demon Venerables were leading countless Demon Generals and ordinary demons away, seemingly intending to conduct a Calamity Realm clearance process while holding back the human advanced forces, rather than leaving numerous cannon fodder here to be destroyed by the battle’s aftermath.
"The number of demons from the Demon Realm this time is overwhelming, and no place can hold out... We must quickly return to support."
With this realization, Wang Zhifan knew this battle wouldn’t last long; soon, they would each have to return to conduct guerrilla warfare.
