Chapter 8787: Chapter 764-start of the battle (1)
Sure enough, just as Zhao Hai had expected, when the people of the Shadow Realm realized that the heaven and earth runes could not stop them, the Army of the Shadow Realm did not say anything and directly pounced down from the sky. They passed through the heaven and earth runes and rushed into the blood sea realm. At this time, the defensive line of the bloody massacre sect’s array platform had just been set up.
The people from the Shadow Realm obviously knew how powerful the bloody massacre sect’s defensive array platform was. Hence, after they charged into the blood sea realm, they immediately pounced towards the bloody massacre sect’s defensive line. This time, they had an Army of tens of millions pouncing at them. Just their numbers alone were enough to scare many people.
Zhao Hai did not panic. Instead, he said, " "All the disciples are to go out. All leaders, pay attention and stay in formation. Don’t go too far away from the defense line. Although the defense line hasn’t been set up yet, it can be used to a certain extent. Disciples who can attack from a distance, pay attention and attack from a distance first. All the disciples who are good at close combat, stand in front of the defense line, about one mile away from the defense line. But pay attention and don’t block the attack area of the defense line."
Although Zhao Hai’s orders sounded like a lot, the disciples of the bloody massacre sect had also received training. Therefore, they all understood what Zhao Hai meant. Zhao Hai’s instructions were actually very simple. All the disciples of the bloody massacre sect would leave Xuanwu Island. The disciples who were good at long-range attacks would stand behind the defensive line and use their magic weapons to attack the people from the Shadow Realm. The disciples who were good at close-range combat would form a formation about one mile in front of the defensive line. However, they would have to give way to the offensive range of the magical formation’s defensive line. Don’t block the firepower from the defensive line.
As soon as Zhao Hai gave the order, the disciples felt a white light flash around them. They were directly teleported out of black Tortoise Island. Even when they were outside, they were all in a neat formation, ready to join the battle. They didn’t have the mood to think about how Zhao Hai did it. Instead, they were all ready to attack at any time.
After all the disciples had left black Tortoise Island, Zhao Hai’s orders did not stop. He said in a deep voice, &Quot; cavalry unit, listen up. You have to move. The impact is your greatest advantage. You have to maintain a charging state at all times. Anyone who enters your attack range must be eliminated at the first moment. &Quot; Of course, Zhao Hai’s order this time was directed to the cavalry leaders. Ordinary disciples would not be able to hear his order.
"All close combat battle teams must have a botanist. The botanist must build a layer of defense in front of the formation battle team." Zhao Hai continued. The botanists of the blood slaughter sect had completed their mission of transforming the blood sea realm. Therefore, Zhao Hai had sent them out for this battle. The botanists of the blood slaughter sect no longer needed to place seeds on the ground. They had discovered another method, which was to use their own dharmic powers to activate the seeds. The seeds would then grow into plants. Then, they could add a spell on the plants, which would allow them to float in the air. This way, he could form a plant defense line. Although this plant defense line couldn’t be compared to a magic circle defense line, it could still be useful to a certain extent. At the very least, he could help the melee team block the enemy’s most violent first attack.
While the disciples of the blood murder sect were preparing, the array platforms of the blood murder sect had already opened fire. Not only the array platforms, but the array elder, the bronze statues, and the black turtle Island had also opened fire. Among them, the array elder’s attack was the most special. His attack was not an energy attack, but the vines on his Island. He directly swung them. As the vines swung, some of the fruits growing on the vines were also thrown out. After falling into the shadow realm’s Army, it immediately exploded. After the explosion, a huge energy shock wave was produced on the spot, accompanied by poisonous smoke. The attack power was very domineering. Even the people of the Shadow Realm would be killed as long as they were within the range of the fruit’s explosion.
The one with the most stable attacks was the bronze man. The bronze man had transformed into a large array platform, and his attacks were like small arrays. They were also all kinds of attribute energy bombs. The attack range of these energy bombs was very far. In addition, the array platform he had transformed into was very large, so the energy bombs could shoot out very far and had a large area of effect. It was equivalent to an artillery attack.
The attacks from the Black Tortoise Island were the fiercest. The dragon-like head of the Black Tortoise Island would shoot out energy swords to attack. On the back of the Black Tortoise Island, countless arrays would light up. These arrays would release attribute energy bombs to attack the Army of the Shadow Realm. The range covered was much larger than that of the bronze men.
There was only one purpose for Zhao Hai’s group’s attack. It was to buy time for Wen Yuming and the others to set up the defensive array as soon as possible. Once the defensive array was set up, they could rely on it to fight against the people from the Shadow Realm.
Although the bloody massacre sect’s attack was very fierce, the Shadow Realm was not to be trifled with. They had more people. Moreover, the Shadow Realm might have suffered a loss from Zhao Hai’s long-range attack last time, so they had long-range attacks this time. Countless cultivators from the Shadow Realm held bows in their hands and continuously shot arrows at the bloody massacre sect. At the same time, the cavalrymen from the Shadow Realm, who were riding on many demonic beasts, opened their mouths wide. They swallowed energy bombs in the direction of the blood slaughter sect, and some demonic beasts from the Shadow Realm shot out some thorn-like objects from their bodies. Some people from the Shadow Realm even released the Dharma artifacts in their hands. Those Dharma artifacts were similar to the Dharma artifacts shot out by the blood slaughter sect disciples. They could also be controlled by them, and they directly attacked the blood slaughter sect.
Both sides continued to attack each other. The attack from the Shadow Realm was even more intense because they had more people. Moreover, the number of arrows shot out by these people was too many. It could be described as overwhelming. Very quickly, the arrows reached the sky above the bloody massacre sect’s formation.
At this moment, three light pillars suddenly rose from the base of the Black Tortoise Island, the spirit array Island, and the bronze statue. Then, all the array platforms also shot out light pillars. These light pillars combined together in the air and directly formed a protective shield, covering the entire base.
This wave of arrow rain attack from the Shadow Realm hit the shield directly. There were ripples on the shield, but it also blocked the arrow rain. Even the energy arrows that were shot out were absorbed by the shield. Such a change was not expected by the people of the Shadow Realm.
However, the following energy bomb attacks also made the shield shake, but the shield didn’t break. Obviously, this shield wasn’t simple. It could absorb a small part of the energy attack and also play a good role in resisting the consumption of large energy attacks.
But at this moment, a fierce shout came from the Shadow Realm. Then, a black saber shadow shot over from a distance of nearly a hundred miles and hit his protective shield. The next moment, a huge hole was shot through the protective shield. However, the saber shadow didn’t disappear. It directly slashed on an array platform and the protective shield on the array platform was broken. Then, the array platform was cut into two by the saber Light. However, the array platform did not explode.
Zhao Hai had planned this long ago. This was why the formation platform would not explode after it was damaged. Once it exploded, the disciples on the platform and those standing next to it would be affected by the explosion. In order to defend against such a situation, Zhao Hai had designed a very special formation on the formation platform. It only had one purpose: This array would be activated and guide all the energy that could cause an explosion on the array platform into the array on the array platform. After that, all the array talismans on the array platform would be burned and the array platform would not explode. This way, not only would it ensure that the secret of the array platform would not be leaked, but it would also ensure that the disciples on and beside the array platform would not be affected by the explosion and cause casualties.
For this design, Zhao Hai had made the divine Secrets Hall revise it countless times before they finally came up with this design. The first magic array platform had self-destructed. Although there was a teleportation array on the magic array platform, if it was under a strong attack, the disciples on the magic array platform would not have time to use the teleportation array to escape. In the end, they would die along with the magic array platform.
Although there was a big hole in the protective shield, the entire protective shield was not broken. The other parts of the protective shield could still withstand the attacks of the energy arrows and energy bombs from the Shadow Realm. Moreover, the holes were still slowly recovering. However, this period of time was enough for the people of the Shadow Realm to do a lot of things. They directly concentrated their attacks on the hole. For a moment, the energy bombs were shot towards the hole like raindrops, making it impossible for the hole to close. There was even the danger of it expanding.
Of course, the blood slaughter sect disciples under the hole also made way for them. Therefore, although many energy bombs and arrows were shot into the blood slaughter sect’s position through the hole, they did not cause any casualties to the blood slaughter sect disciples. However, the people from the Shadow Realm seemed to know how to deal with this shield. Immediately, a few more blade gleams were shot towards the blood slaughter sect’s position from the Shadow Realm’s Army.
However, this time, it wasn’t so easy for them to succeed. The experts of the blood slaughter sect had all made their moves. A few sword beams met the saber beams. With a loud boom, the saber beams and sword beams collided in the air, then both dissipated into nothingness. However, the energy waves produced by the collision spread in all directions. Fortunately, the two sides were very far away from each other, so neither side was affected. It also slowed down the advance of the Shadow Realm’s Army.
Previously, the Shadow Realm’s Army had been attacking the blood slaughter sect’s camp while advancing forward. It was obvious that they wanted to fall to the edge of the blood slaughter sect’s camp and engage in close combat with them. Although the Shadow Realm had long-range attack abilities, their close combat abilities were more outstanding. Therefore, they actually still wanted to engage in close combat with the blood slaughter sect.
