Chapter 2204: Unstoppable!

Any living creature, whether human or animal, would bleed when heavily injured . Even trees that were shot would occasionally bleed sap .

Even though Su Hanshan had learned from Wang Chong long ago about the bizarre aspects of the Yeluohe, all of this still left him deeply stunned .

The existence of the Yeluohe completely defied the basic principles of life .

Not only that, Su Hanshan could see those Yeluohe that had been shot off their horses crawling up from the ground, jumping back on their horses, and once more charging toward the fortress .

Bang!

As all of the soldiers reeled in shock, one of the Yeluohe reached out, extracted the long ballista bolt in its chest, turned its crimson eyes, took aim, and threw .

Bang!

Two Tang horsemen several hundred feet away were struck by the long ballista bolt before they could react, and together with their horses, they were nailed to the ground .

“Careful!”

Only now did a panicked warning ring out .

“Defend! Defend! Defend!”

The Tang generals turned fearful as they hollered with all their might . They had never encountered soldiers like this in their lives .

The Tang ballistae needed mechanisms and switches to possess such astonishing destructive power .

But these Yeluohe were different . A bolt that was thrown from their hands could pierce through the armor of the Tang horsemen and nail two elite Tang cavalry to the ground .

It had to be known that for this war, the Great Tang had mobilized almost all of its strength . All of the Tang soldiers wore armor forged from the finest steel . Such armor was incredibly tough and even capable of stopping attacks from master archers .

But in front of these Yeluohe, the armor seemed to be made of paper, so easy to pierce through that it seemed unbelievable .

Boomboomboom!

With a great rumble, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation switched from offense to defense . This supreme formation had originally been equipped for both offense and defense .

As the formation and messenger flags shifted, countless tower shields and heavy shields moved to the front . At this moment, everyone felt an intense danger .

For them to feel this despite the battle not even having begun was unprecedented .

Gallop! The hooves of the Yeluohe horses thundered as they moved as swiftly as ghosts, getting closer and closer . In the blink of an eye, the Yeluohe were only ten-some meters from the Tang defense line .

In this entire process, the Yeluohe remained cold as ice, their movements as one . They did not say a single word, their silence exerting an oppressive pressure that stirred panic .

Clang!

At the very front, the Yeluohe leader’s eyes flashed . He instantly pulled an ancient sword out of his rusted sheath, and around him, the surrounding Yeluohe mimicked his action . As they pulled out their weapons, their energies soared to a new level . They became even more frightening, their cold and gleaming weapons seeming like the scythes of the death god .

By this time, the pressure had become utterly suffocating .

Ten meters, eight meters, three meters…

Neigh!

With a loud cry, the Yeluohe at the front suddenly pulled the reins on its horse and leaped, preparing to charge into the Tang defense line .

Just when this terrifying force was about to begin its full assault…

Bang!

A massive boom came from the imposing steel fortress in the rear, and a massive gale stirred . Before anyone could react, a giant ballista bolt flew overhead and struck that leaping Yeluohe .

With the sound of cracking bones, the head of the warhorse was crushed into countless shards, and then the head of the Yeluohe rider atop it was similarly obliterated by that terrifying force .

In no time at all, everything from the chest up of that Yeluohe warrior was obliterated .

Bang!

The giant ballista bolt continued into the dense ranks of the Yeluohe .

Boom! Boom! Boom! In a series of explosions, numerous Yeluohe were blasted to bits by the giant ballista bolt .

The Yeluohe cavalry under An Lushan were almost unkillable, and no injury they sustained would be fatal . But these were the giant ballistae that had slain Behemoths . Not even the powerful Yeluohe could stop them .

With the skull obliterated, even the strongest existence would be slain .

One strike had destroyed at least sixty of the Yeluohe .

“Fire again!”

Those on the walls were heartened by this sight, and with another boom, another giant ballista bolt shot out from the walls .

Several dozen Yeluohe were about to be struck by the giant ballista bolt when the Yeluohe leader suddenly let out a deep roar .

And then, the unexpected occurred .

A Yeluohe horseman suddenly jumped into the air, black smoke coiling around it as it raised a hand and grabbed the giant ballista bolt .

Thump! Thump! Thump! Hundreds of Yeluohe jumped into the air, intersecting their trajectories with the ballista bolt’s trajectory and snatching at it with their hands .

The giant ballista bolt had a speed and power ten times that of ordinary ballista bolts . In normal circumstances, they would be impossible to grab, and those that attempted would end up with shattered bones .

But this matter that should have been only theoretically possible was brought into reality .

A white scar appeared in the air, rapidly vibrating .

In the middle of this white scar, a long giant ballista bolt was suspended in the air, surrounded by hundreds of Yeluohe .

These Yeluohe, like cold machines, had firmly seized the giant ballista bolt from all angles .

These Yeluohe seemed almost rooted to the giant ballista bolt as they were carried along by it . Seven steps, eight steps, twenty steps… even though the giant ballista bolt had an enormous amount of inertia, in the end, the joint effort of the Yeluohe succeeded in stopping it .

Hiss!

Everyone couldn’t help but gasp in alarm at this sight .

These giant ballistae Wang Chong had developed were absolutely lethal weapons . No one had ever imagined that the Yeluohe could use such a frightening method to stop their bolts .

But they didn’t have time to reel in shock . With a frightening neigh, the Yeluohe launched their counterattack, the thousands of Yeluohe charging into the Tang ranks like an arrow loosed from a bow .

Neeeigh!

Neighs rang out over the battlefield as the Yeluohe made impact .

The Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation was renowned as the number one formation of the apocalyptic era, and there was no questioning its strength . Not even the constant attacks of Youzhou’s Hundred Thousand God-Devil Execution Formation had been able to shake it, and it had even been pushed back . This was proof enough of its power .

There was no army in the world stronger than this one!

But in a flash, boom! Through their terrifying strength, they jammed into the Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation like a nail and tore through its defenses .

Warhorse crashed into warhorse and metal clashed against metal . The clanging of weapons and explosions of Stellar Energy rang out endlessly… Rather than thirty thousand soldiers, it seemed like an army of one million had crashed into the ranks of the Tang force .

Bang!

At the front of the battlefield, a massive tower shield was struck by a spear, and the center was instantly covered in cracks, then it crumpled . Moreover, the spear was infused with a freezing Stellar Energy that traveled through the shield .

With a crackle, a layer of frost rapidly began to spread along the shield soldier’s arm .

Boom!

Several dozen heavy shield soldiers and tower shield soldiers at the front of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation were thrown into the air, the shields in their hands freezing and then shattering . The same took place in multiple areas across the front of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation . The chilling death energy of the Yeluohe seemed to be extremely effective at destroying shields .

“Ah!”

Screams erupted as the Tang lines began to collapse, the Yeluohe exhibiting an unstoppable and nigh overwhelming momentum . In a flash, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation was dealt an extremely grave wound .

More and more Yeluohe were charging out from the rear like floodwaters set free .

“Hold!”

Anxious bellows rang out over the battlefield, and even though this defense line had been able to withstand ceaseless assaults from the Youzhou army, it was easily torn apart by the Yeluohe .

But they did not panic . Not even one-tenth of the formation was being impacted, and the integrity of the formation was not damaged .

Bangbangbang!

As the Yeluohe charged, tens of thousands of Tang cavalry charged at the Yeluohe from all sides .

Offense was the best defense .

This was a conviction that all of Wang Chong’s soldiers upheld . Thus, in the air, Wang Chong narrowed his eyes and watched, not intending to stop it in any way .
