C401 Fifth Level of the Tian Qi Layer
Fat Rat sighed heavily, "This Barbarian Clan is even more terrifying than we imagined! There was actually a formation engraved on the Ascending Cloud Ladder. Once it came into contact with the city wall, the formation would activate and merge the Ascending Cloud Ladder into the city wall. "
"The formation is very powerful. I'm afraid that with a Heavenly Martial Stage cultivation base, it won't be able to shake it at all! The most detestable thing is that this formation also reinforced the city wall underneath the Ascending Cloud Ladder. Even if we lose an arm, we won't be able to destroy the city wall!"
Hearing Fat Rat's explanation, Rock and Mantis broke out in cold sweat. The Barbarian Clan could not even create a decent Profound Artifact, so how could the Talisman Arts be more complicated?
This didn't make sense, but the truth was right in front of them!
"The Talisman Master is here!"
An exclamation sounded from the crowd as two Talisman Masters rushed over at the fastest speed possible.
Fat Rat said in surprise, "You guys came at the right time. Quickly come and settle this Ascending Cloud Ladder!"
The two Talisman Masters did not say anything. They rushed in front of the Ascending Cloud Ladder. Each of them took out a porcelain bottle from their interspatial Essence Ring and opened the lid.
When the lid opened, a silver mist immediately floated out from within the bottle. The two of them did not dare to delay, and poured the liquid into the place where the Ascending Cloud Ladder came into contact with the city wall.
A warrior asked curiously, "What is this?"
"This is the Dissolving Talisman Liquid. The Talisman that can be carved can be dissolved. The chief Talisman Master is currently constructing the Brilliant Light Formation. When he sensed the changes in the city wall, he gave us this Dissolving Talisman Liquid and asked us to come and provide assistance."
Fat Rat heaved a sigh of relief. The chief Talisman Master was different from the ordinary Talisman Master. The chief Talisman Master was a great Talisman master hired by the Qilin Academy. Even in the Holy Domain, he was a famous existence.
"Zi La!"
The moment the silver talisman liquid came into contact with the Ascending Cloud Ladder, countless silver steam rose. The two Talisman Masters looked at each other and thought in their hearts, "It's effective!"
However, good things did not last long. Before the first wave of steam rose, the Ascending Cloud Ladder actually lit up with a pale yellow light.
The two Talisman Masters were shocked and hurriedly looked over. They saw that the beast bone outside the Ascending Cloud Ladder had been completely corroded, revealing what was hidden in the bone.
The bone hid a metal ladder. This metal was a pale yellow color, and the Talisman engraved on it formed a formation that allowed it to adhere to the city wall.
"Earthly Huang Metal, it's actually Earthly Huang Metal!"
The two Talisman Masters opened their eyes wide, revealing shocked expressions.
Fat Rat hurriedly asked, "What is Earthly Huang Gold?!"
One of the Talisman Master took a deep breath, trying to stabilize his state of mind. "Earthly Huang Metal is a very rare metal, and it is very stable. Using it as a medium and carving the Talisman, it can withstand the corrosion of any corrosive liquid. Ten thousand years have passed without any damage! "
Another person added, "In the Holy Domain, a palm-sized Earthly Huang Gold can be sold at the price of one million stones. It can be seen how precious it is. There is actually someone who can forge it into an Ascending Cloud Ladder. What a huge arm!"
Fat Rat said angrily," You two don't need to sigh! Once the fire below the city wall was extinguished, a Barbarian would follow the ladder and rush towards the city wall. If you can't handle it, call the chief Talisman Master over. No matter how important the Brilliant Formation is, it can't be more important than the safety of the city wall!"
The two Talisman Masters shook their heads," He handed over the Dissolving Talisman Liquid to us and said that it was a high-grade item he bought from the Talisman Association. The one who refined it was a true grandmaster of Talisman. If even this Talisman could not dispel the local array formation... Even if he came personally, he wouldn't change anything. "
Fat Rat's expression darkened. He looked down at the city wall and saw that the oil barrel had exploded and the fire was about to stop.
Rock was the calmest. He sent two warriors to escort the Talisman Master away. Then he shouted at the soldiers on the city wall, "I know you are still afraid of the battle five days ago. But the Barbarian is about to kill us. I won't say anything else. In the city behind you, there are hundreds of thousands of ordinary civilians. Their lives... We hold them in our hands! "
"Perhaps in the world of martial artists, your cultivation levels are average. You don't have the support of a large family, and no sect values you at all. You have no choice but to join the army to earn military merits!"
"But in the eyes of the hundreds of thousands of civilians in Phoenix Perch City, you are all heroes!"
"As long as the heroes don't fall, no one will be able to harm them at all! Can you do it? "
The soldiers replied with a voice that resounded through the sky.
"Yes!"
Boulder's feet were filled with elemental energy as he shouted loudly, "Prepare for the White Blade Battle!"
For a moment, the sound of swords and sabers being unsheathed could be heard without end. Apart from the archers and Arrow hands, the rest of the warriors held Profound Artifact in their hands and were ready to fight close to each other.
The flames gradually extinguished, and the sound of charging could be heard from afar once again.
The second wave of charging from the Barbarian Clan army had begun!
"Archers, get ready! Arrow Masters, get ready!"
This time, Rock ordered the Arrow Masters to get ready as well.
No matter what the price was, they could not let a second Ascending Cloud Ladder climb up the wall.
The activated vitality stones shot out once again. When the light exploded, the defending soldiers could clearly see that the second wave of attack from the Barbarian Clan was more than double the number of people in the first wave.
What worried them the most was that this time, three Ascending Cloud Ladders were approaching the wall.
"Arrow!"
The rain of arrows arrived once again, and the Barbarian Clan was thrown into chaos. But even so, after six rounds of rain of arrows, the three Ascending Cloud Ladders were still approaching the city wall.
Boulder gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "Hundred Crossbows, shoot!"
Six hundred ballistae were pushed to the top of the wall, aiming at the dense crowd of Barbarian Clan people below the wall.
The Crossbows were opened. The box containing the Arrow on the Hundred Crossbows let out a loud mechanical sound.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
The sound of Arrow tearing through the air could be heard without end. In a short three breaths of time, a hundred Arrows had been shot out!
The power of the Arrow was much greater than the Feather Arrow that the archers shot out. The shield-bearers who were protecting the Ascending Cloud Ladder had suffered greatly this time.
A single Arrow was unable to break through the beast bone shield, but a dozen or so Arrow hit the shield-bearers one after another, causing the shield to shatter.
The Arrow that carried the armor-piercing Talisman shot out a large bloody hole through the shield-bearers' bodies.
Out of the three Ascending Cloud Ladders, two of the Barbarian Clan warriors who had climbed down the stairs were instantly killed!
However, the third Ascending Cloud Ladder was still erected. The barrel of oil was thrown down once again. However, these Barbarian Clan warriors were determined to die, and they did their best to erect the Ascending Cloud Ladder towards the city wall.
"Don't even think about it!"
Rock, Mantis, and Fat Rat attacked at the same time. They flew towards the Ascending Cloud Ladder. As long as the Ascending Cloud Ladder didn't touch the city wall, they could kick the ladder over.
However, the moment they flew up from the city wall, several figures suddenly rose up from the ground and blocked in front of them.
Just as Rock had thought, there was indeed a Barbarian Clan Expert mixed among the ordinary soldiers!
The few Barbarian Clan Experts were all at the Heavenly Martial Stage Level One. They were all at the Soul Conduit realm, borrowing their divine power to deal with Rock and the other two.
Although they had the power of the Soul Conduit realm, the difference in realms was still very obvious. The few experts from the Barbarian Clan were not Rock and the other two's match.
Furthermore, there were even more human experts on the city wall!
However, the Barbarian Clan Expert did not want to fight to the death with Boulder and the rest. Their goal was only to prevent Boulder and the others from destroying the Ascending Cloud Ladder's installation.
The mantis held two sabers in its hands and said furiously, "You think you can stop Grandpa's saber with just you? "
The sabers in its hands slashed out a bright saber light. After following Wang Hao in the Wilderness for two months, its sabers had become stronger and stronger.
With just a single Barbarian Clan Expert, two bone-deep wounds were left on his chest by the praying mantis. If it wasn't for the fact that he was in the Soul Conduit realm, he would have been severely injured and would have fallen to the ground by now.
The Barbarian Clan Expert gritted its teeth and ignored the saber shadows that filled the sky, trying to stop the praying mantis from approaching the Ascending Cloud Ladder.
Like the praying mantis, Boulder and Fat Rat were also met with the same stubborn resistance. Their eyes were red with killing intent, but they were still unable to get close to the Ascending Cloud Ladder.
"Why aren't you attacking?!"
Boulder roared, and many experts leaped out from the city walls. However, before they could get close to the Ascending Cloud Ladder, a terrifying force attacked from afar.
"Wah!"
A Earth Martial Stage expert spat out a mouthful of blood and flew back onto the city wall. A Heavenly Martial Stage expert was barely able to resist it.
For a moment, everyone was shocked. The owner of this force was obviously at the furthest distance of the Barbarian Clan's formation. What kind of realm was it that could beat an Earth Martial Stage warrior to the point of vomiting blood? !
The praying mantis had finally killed the Barbarian Clan Expert in front of it, but the Ascending Cloud Ladder was about to hit the city wall.
His eyes were about to tear apart. He wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort sounded from the depths of Phoenix Perch City, but it was very loud and clear in everyone's ears.
Immediately after that, a silver light appeared and shot in front of the Ascending Cloud Ladder.
The praying mantis looked carefully. It was a thin silver Flying Dagger.
Space Sky!
The space around the Silver Blade violently twisted. In the next second, a figure appeared out of thin air.
This person was Wang Hao, who had just broken through!
As if sensing Wang Hao's appearance, the powerful existence in the distance once again unleashed its power, wanting to force Wang Hao back.
"You dare not show yourself? What can you do to me? !”
Wang Hao didn't put the attack in his eyes. He summoned the Dragon Abyss Sword and slashed!
The blood-red sword light condensed from the Dragon Abyss Sword shattered the attack. At the same time, it landed on the Ascending Cloud Ladder and smashed the ladder dozens of meters away.
"Boss!" Fat Rat shouted happily, "You broke through?!"
Wang Hao's realm had shockingly reached the fifth level of the Heavenly Martial Stage!
Wang Hao smiled and said, "It's not like I broke through to the Spirit Martial Stage, why should I be so happy?"
The Ascending Cloud Ladder was sent flying by Wang Hao, and the few Barbarian Clan Experts that attacked immediately prepared to escape.
"Since you're here, there's no need to return!"
Wang Hao's figure flashed, and the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand fell down, ending the lives of these Barbarian Clan Experts.
The Dragon Abyss Sword pointed into the distance. Wang Hao's body emitted a dragon's might and killing intent that soared to the sky. It was as if he was saying to the enemies hiding in the distance, Bring it on if you have the ability!
In the distance, a huge Qi was rising slowly, as if it was responding to Wang Hao's provocation.
A cold smile appeared on Wang Hao's face. He summoned tens of thousands of sword Qis and slashed at the Barbarian Clan soldiers who were still charging on the ground.
