Seeing that the situation on the field was almost entirely one-sided, Xiao Buli also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the breach of Fairy City didn't affect him much, if necessary, he could escape with his Cloud Thunder Leap at any time. However, Xiao Buli didn't want the situation to spiral too far out of control. And he still had a lot of Spirit Stones left to spend.
While everyone was chatting and laughing as they watched the giants being smashed down the mountain one after another, suddenly a huge lightning pillar shot up from the base of the mountain. It was as thick as a water bucket, aiming straight at the Emerald Spirit Fairy, who was commanding the vines in the sky. Discover stories with Freewebnovel

Everyone yelled "Not good!", but seeing such an offensive, none of the immortals present dared to confront it head-on, fearing that it might lead to utter destruction.
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, a mass of dark clouds rolled in the sky, and Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Person came flying in rapidly with the support of a thick cloud layer underneath. He positioned himself below the Emerald Spirit Fairy, and the lightning instantly struck, seemingly absorbed by the black cotton-like cloud mass. The looming disaster was dissolving into nothingness when, suddenly, dozens of lightning strikes surged from the valley floor, targeting not just the Loose Immortal who had come to the rescue but also the immortals and mortals alike on the city walls who were just watching the excitement.
For a brief moment, lightning flashes drowned the world, blinding everyone with bursts of white light. Xiao Buli was startled and ready to launch into the sky at any second. Fortunately, his position wasn't hit by the lightning, but others weren't so lucky. The lightning, though not very lethal, struck many and unleashed colorful numbers of damage all around Xiao Buli. Because electricity is conductive, when lightning struck, it often harmed more than one person, causing trouble for several nearby individuals. Consequently, this wave of attack inflicted damage over a vast area.
No sooner had the lightning subsided than immortals who hadn't even had time to counterattack were bombarded by dozens of flaming fireballs, wrapped in strong winds from below. These fireballs, which were actually stones on the inside, exploded upon impact with the wall, with every fragment carrying flames and scattering over a wide area. Some immortals floating in mid-air couldn't dodge in time and were hit directly by the fireballs, immediately getting covered in flames and screaming in agony. Fireballs continued to shoot out non-stop from the valley along with occasional lightning strikes. Surroundings glowed red with fire and electricity, resembling the inferno of hell.
Busy dodging the giants' fireballs and lightning, the vines lost their direction and stood dumbfounded, holding the giants up. Soon, they were climbed up upon by smaller Lava Giants, and the vines, no match for such high temperatures, instantly turned to ash.
Only then did Xiao Buli truly perceive the situation below. Because the people on top of the city could only look down and the cliffs were steep, coupled with the immense size of the giants, it was difficult to see what was happening behind them. Now, with many giants struck by lightning and others pulled away by the vines, revealing the true nature of the giants below. Unlike the foolishly large ones above, these giants were comparatively smaller, averaging around ten meters or so in height, and were different in appearance, too. While the giants above, though large, were mostly of the Earth Element and Wood System—rock, clay, and wood had great strength but average combat capabilities and relied on throwing rocks to harm people, the smaller ones below seemed to belong to the Fire Element, Electric Type, Water Element, and others. Xiao Buli saw a Lava Giant with a completely ice-blue giant behind it, looking like an ice sculpture, with huge ice spikes on its head, shoulders, and arms, resembling a huge and tough beetle. Xiao Buli estimated that this one had not yet taken action due to its position, but once it did, it would likely attack with weapons of ice. It seemed these giants had actually formed formation and were not as simple-minded as he had previously thought.
At this time, the immortals rising in the sky also saw the situation clearly. In the midst of panic, they continuously hurled spells downwards, shouting, "These giants have more tricks up their sleeve, the ones below are of ice and fire Elements. Everyone, be cautious! Don't just stand and watch; strike quickly!"
These immortals now displayed a sense of urgency, each rising in the air as the giants along the cliff gave their all in the assault. The Loose Immortals too, initially flustered, regained their composure.
Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Person conjured his Divine Skills, and the sky filled with oppressive, rolling black clouds, threatening to burst at any moment with massive power. Then there was a loud crackling noise as a dense line of lightning struck the edge of the cliff like a sharp saw, slicing a large chunk off the cliff. The lightning penetrated the rocks for about ten meters before its force subsided. Large rocks, left without support, tumbled down, crushing a great number of giants below.
Emerald Spirit Fairy also displayed her Divine Skills, as countless seeds shot from the clouds like bullets, targeting the rocks. Unlike the flexible vines before, these sprouted straight and rigid, resembling steel spears as they extended forward. But when they encountered their own kind, they smartly bent and wrapped around each other. In no time, they had formed a huge net of vines along the cliffside, blocking most of the fireballs and lightning from below. While fireballs continued to burn large holes in the net, Emerald Spirit Fairy ceaselessly used her Divine Skills to replenish any burned areas quickly. In a short span, the pressure on the immortals eased significantly, their spells becoming more nimble as they greeted the multitude of giants below with a barrage of attacks.
