As the sun gradually sank, the horizon slowly darkened, the afterglow of sunset still illuminating the land.
At this moment, a roaring sound, as if from the edge of the sky, was suddenly heard, followed by the sight of a giant white creature running from a distance and leaping onto the hilltop.
Everyone looked up, only to see a person on the giant creature, followed by the rumbling sound of synchronized footsteps.
Then, accompanied by the setting sun, a green troop finally appeared before the crowd, and a few people on horseback also arrived in succession.
Seeing that the people he had waited for for a long time had finally arrived, Qinglong showed a relieved smile.
"They're finally here."
Xuanwu was also in a good mood, saying, "Finally, we can have a good fight."
At this moment, the fighting soldiers shouted, "Our reinforcements are here! The Alliance will win! The Alliance will win!"
Then, countless people shouted in unison, "The Alliance will win! The Alliance will win!"
Looking at the two armies already engaged in battle, Tianlong was fortunate that he had arrived in time. He drew his long sword and shouted, "Attack!"
Wangyuan, Qingyu, and Muhan also drew their long swords and charged towards the enemy under Tianlong's leadership.
Daolang, not to be outdone, drew his great saber, waved it forward, and shouted, "Brothers, let's go together! Victory belongs to the Alliance, and to us!"
Then, he and Feixiong galloped into the battlefield.
Thirteenth Lady patted Wanxuezhu and said, "Let's go too."
Wanxuezhu immediately charged forward fiercely.
At this moment, the green armor and black hooves surged like a torrent of beasts, pouring out from the afterglow of the sunset, breaking through all obstacles.
They charged directly at the soldiers of Beishendu, and for a moment, Beishendu's orderly formation was scattered and broken, with soldiers fleeing to the sides.
Wanxuezhu showed no mercy, swinging its front paws to sweep away anyone in its path.
Qinglong looked at the charging warriors with great emotion, saying, "The Merfolk have not been this brave in many years."
Baihu smiled faintly and said, "Yes, the last time I saw them this brave was about ten thousand years ago."
"Fate is indeed cyclical. Alright, it's time for us to join the fight."
"Good."
With that, he took the lead, galloping his horse towards the Merfolk, with the other three following closely.
At this moment, Wanxuezhu broke through the crowd and rushed behind Liu Xiang. It immediately saw its former master, and its heart filled with excitement, it roared incessantly.
Wan Guiwang also saw Wanxuezhu and said to it.
"Ling'er, you're here. You've waited too long and suffered too much for today's arrival. Today, you will fight alongside me."
As he spoke, Wan Guiwang struck Wanxuezhu with a black energy, and a soul separated from its body.
Thirteenth Lady's eyes were filled with excitement; she was finally about to see her beloved.
As the soul flew out, Wan Guiwang casually pulled a corpse from the ground.
Then, he spat out a ball of black energy to envelop the corpse, and then placed Xian Ling'er's soul into the black energy.
Liu Xiang should have intervened at this moment, but instead, he watched with interest, occasionally commenting.
"The Merfolk's resurrection technique. I didn't expect you to have learned this move as well."
Wan Guiwang sneered coldly.
"This move is indeed a bit difficult, but compared to your Yin-Yang Life and Death Art, it's still far from it."
Liu Xiang lightly covered half of his face with a fan and chuckled.
At this moment, within the ball of black energy, flesh and bones separated. Xian Ling'er's soul entered the bones, and the scattered flesh and blood reorganized themselves according to his appearance.
Then, the black energy healed the wounds, finally forming a perfect body.
At this moment, the black energy dissipated, and a living person fell from mid-air. Upon landing, he slowly opened his eyes, then turned and landed on the ground.
It turned out that Wanxuezhu's true form was like this: fair-skinned, handsome, sturdy, with a righteous yet murderous aura.
Although not as beautiful as Liu Xiang, it was still a breathtaking sight of unparalleled beauty, no wonder Thirteenth Lady was willing to stay by his side without complaint.
Wan Guiwang waved his hand, and Xian Ling'er immediately donned a set of black armor, a long spear appearing in his hand.
He couldn't believe he could regain human form. Filled with gratitude, he knelt on the ground and thanked Wan Guiwang, "Thank you, Ghost King."
Wan Guiwang said.
"Since you have not forgotten your mission and have resolutely waited for a thousand years.
Today, I bestow upon you a physical body so that you may rejoin the battle and fight alongside your brothers in the Ghost Clan."
"Yes."
"The one beside me is Wan Yaowang, the new leader of the Ghost Clan. I believe you have met her."
He quickly replied, "Greetings, Demon King. I met the Demon King when I was in Wanxue Mountain, but she was not yet Wan Yaowang then."
Looking at him, I was also satisfied.
"Brother Xian, with your participation, our chances of victory have increased. However, before the battle, please look at Thirteenth Lady. She has waited for you for over a thousand years."
Xian Ling'er then turned his head and saw Thirteenth Lady standing in the wind, watching him silently. The shell of Wanxuezhu had long since dissipated into the wind.
Xian Ling'er bowed to us and then turned to Thirteenth Lady, thanking her, "Thank you for everything you've done for me."
Thirteenth Lady looked at him, wanting to speak but hesitating. Finally, she said, "Ling'er, everyone needs you. Go."
Xian Ling'er nodded, turned, and joined the battle. Thirteenth Lady still couldn't express her feelings to him, but seeing Xian Ling'er again was enough to satisfy her.
Then, we heard the sound of fighting from behind us. Turning our heads, we saw that the four city lords had already broken into the Merfolk ranks.
I was a little worried, saying, "No, I have to go help them."
Liu Xiang generously replied, "Alright, I can wait for you for a while. But if you haven't resolved it by then, don't blame me for going on a rampage."
I agreed, saying, "Okay, I promise."
Then, I took Wan Guiwang and flew down in front of the four city lords. Zhuque was very surprised and asked me, "Wan Yaowang, why are you stopping us instead of fighting Liu Xiang?"
"Compared to him, I'd rather deal with you."
"If that's the case, then let's begin."
With that, he raised his sword and swung it at me. Wan Guiwang and I separated and attacked, intending to surround and kill him.
At this moment, Qinglong raised his sword, mounted his horse, and slashed at Wan Guiwang. Fortunately, Wan Guiwang was only a phantom image. After being destroyed by the slash, he flew to another side.
Then, the other two city lords also attacked, launching offensives at me and Wan Guiwang.
I was fine with my twin swords, blocking and killing to the left and right to protect myself, while Wan Guiwang faced the pincer attack of two people.
Although he was struggling, since he had no physical form, they couldn't do anything to him.
Qingyu wanted to help but was held back by Tianlong.
"We can't help. The four city lords are ancient gods, and their strength is superior to ours.
If we force ourselves in, we'll only be courting death. For now, let's focus on eliminating the others."
Qingyu agreed, saying, "Good," and then they left together to rejoin the battle.
At this moment, Lin'er, who was watching from the side, saw that the four city lords had made their move. She decisively ran to the back and said to the person controlling the catapult.
"Quick, load the boulders and throw them to the other side."
"Yes."
Then, people pulled a cart of stones, loaded them onto the catapult, and fired them towards the other side. In an instant, stones flew through the air and landed heavily in the Beishendu formation.
At this moment, Qinglong saw that the situation was not right and immediately flew into the air to signal the rear to attack.
Soon, a large number of stones flew from the formation into our troop.
Lin'er was not to be outdone and immediately ordered people to apply gunpowder and ignite it to be thrown to the other side. The other side, not having gunpowder, could only intensify their stone-throwing.
The exchange of stones had already killed many people.
At this moment, Shuifang and Yinglu were still fighting with the Beishendu generals. Suddenly, several large stones fell from the sky and landed between them.
Fortunately, they were agile enough to dodge them.
Shuifang looked up at the giant stones flying in the sky in horror and asked, "What's going on?"
Yinglu said, "I'm afraid it's a confrontation between the two sides' stone artillery."
"This is such bad timing."
As soon as he finished speaking, more giant stones fell. He could only quickly turn around and shout to his brothers.
"Everyone, be careful of the giant stones and dodge them!"
"Alright!" everyone replied in unison.
Liu Xiang watched this scene from mid-air and found it very amusing, but the most exciting battle had not truly begun.
At this moment, Liu Xiang was getting impatient. He flew to the side of the four city lords and unleashed a strong gust of wind, interrupting our battle.
"Liu Muye, are you making me wait too long?"
I stared at him blankly, not speaking. He flew into the sky and said, "Come up to the sky."
I reluctantly flew into the sky to duel him in mid-air. At this moment, the four city lords, without any reservations, began to slaughter indiscriminately, unstoppable.
I didn't want to deal with Liu Xiang, so I flew down to the ground, unfurled my ice wings, and fanned them back. Liu Xiang also chased after me and landed in front of the four.
He was surprised.
"I didn't expect you to have obtained the Frost Feather Wings. This is getting more and more interesting. If you want to save others, you must defeat me first."
I said to Wan Guiwang, "Ghost King, leave the four city lords to you. I'll deal with Liu Xiang. I must defeat him to focus on the battle."
Wan Guiwang shook his head and said, "No, if I leave, you won't have enough strength to fight Liu Xiang."
"Then what should we do?"
"We can lure Liu Xiang to the ground and take the opportunity to stop the four city lords."
"Good."
We reached an agreement, and then we launched an attack on Liu Xiang. Liu Xiang stopped playing around, spread his hands, drew them to the left and right, and pushed forward.
Immediately, a surge of flames erupted from the ground and rushed towards Wan Guiwang and me. Fortunately, we dodged in time, but the flames split on the ground, forming a circle that enclosed Wan Guiwang and me.
Liu Xiang then unleashed several gusts of wind towards Wan Guiwang and me. The gusts of wind roamed within the fire circle, igniting and forming several fire winds.
Wan Guiwang warned, "Be careful, this is a branch of earth fire, Earth Spirit Fire."
"What is Earth Spirit Fire?"
"It's a flame that can burn the soul."
"What should we do?"
"Just don't touch the fire winds."
"Okay."
So, Wan Guiwang and I dispersed and charged towards both sides, launching an attack on Liu Xiang.
Liu Xiang calmly waved his fan at me and then turned to strike at Wan Guiwang.
Thus, the three of us fought amidst the fire winds, without stopping.
At this moment, the four city lords watching from the side were already covered in a large amount of blood-red blood, all of it the blood of our Alliance soldiers.
Qinglong wiped a drop of blood from his body, examined it carefully, and said, "This battle cannot be prolonged any longer. We should end it as soon as possible."
The others nodded in agreement. Qinglong said again, "Let's go to the side and take a look."
"Good."
Then, with a wave of their hands, they teleported to the hill on the side. At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and the land was silent.
Only the sky and earth were ablaze with fire, with flames soaring, as if it were daytime. The soldiers of both sides fought back and forth, their killing continuous.
Baihu carefully scanned the entire battlefield and suddenly discovered that many of their generals had died or been wounded.
Under the Alliance's overwhelming offensive, more than half of their forces had been wiped out, and the scales of victory had tipped towards the Alliance army.
Zhuque worriedly asked, "Are we really going to lose?"
Qinglong said calmly, "If the god of destiny is not on our side, then losing is not terrifying."
Xuanwu suggested, "Big brother, let's end the battle as soon as possible. The grievances between the Ghost Clan and the four cities should also be settled."
He nodded, agreeing with his statement, and said, "Then let's fight well."
Then, the four of them slowly closed their eyes and flew towards the sky, until they were swallowed by the night.
At this moment, a roar was heard from the sky, and then a cloud emitted a dazzling light.
Subsequently, a blue dragon's head emerged from the clouds and quickly flew downwards.
Then, a white tiger flew out of the clouds and darted around.
Next came a giant black turtle and a crimson flying bird.
Liu Shinian looked up at the four city lords transforming into their true forms and murmured with emotion, "They're finally here?"
Then, Zhuque was seen spitting fire from a distance towards the ground. However, the places it scorched turned green grass to ash and cracked the ground, while the Black Mountain soldiers remained unharmed.
He was stunned and spat out the Netherworld Fire again, but the result was the same. He just didn't know that if he had spat towards the side, he would have injured the Merfolk soldiers, as they were not wearing the Ice Silkworm Robes.
However, all of this was already in the calculations of the elders, and the Merfolk were not equipped with Ice Silkworm Robes.
Zhuque paused slightly and stopped spitting fire, hovering in the sky as if waiting for its brothers' performance.
At this moment, Qinglong also attacked from a distance, spitting the Dust-Clearing Water. Xue Gucheng, with quick hands and eyes, immediately threw out the Boundless Bag.
The Boundless Bag flew into the air, gradually expanding, and then opened its mouth. The Dust-Clearing Water automatically flew into it, absorbing as much as Qinglong spat out.
Qinglong was secretly surprised that they had obtained the Boundless Bag in such a short time.
Seeing that his move had failed, he reluctantly gave up. The Boundless Bag, having no more water vapor, closed its mouth and returned to its original appearance, falling into Xue Gucheng's hand.
