Chapter 969 - 823: Bombardment (2)
Moreover, on such a large-scale battlefield, the powerful mixed mana fluctuations and pressure made all the monks feel a strong suppression, yet San seemed unaffected. Although he was often knocked over, he still ran swiftly as if hanging upside down, coming and going like the wind.
Not just that, amidst the scenes of light and darkness under various mana attacks, the mist and smoke conjured by others' spells couldn't obscure him at all. The gravity of this space seemed nonexistent to him.
Even Feng Yin's troublesome Phoenix Divine Light couldn't suppress San's speed in galloping and leaping. Without this capability, it would have been hard for him to keep entangled under Feng Yin's suppression earlier.
That's why San looked so lovable, truly worthy of being called a Divine Beast. He was already considering how to persuade Chun Tian to give him this mount. At the very least, even making San a common mount would suffice for him to use.
The key issue is that San should be willing; it wouldn't work if there was always a distance between them.
He often felt a pang of regret about why such a good thing didn't come to him—having a Divine Beast as a mount, which was the top configuration.
It was also because of San that he started to develop an obsession with mounts.
And just as Shi Chun continued to inhale freely amidst the rumbling sounds of mixed fighting, a more majestic disturbance suddenly erupted, giving everyone a sense of powerful explosive force.
He suddenly opened his eyes wide, along with everyone else, to look at the source of this unusual disturbance.
After listening briefly, Wu Jinliang suddenly said in a deep voice, "It's the demon riders!"
Tong Mingshan's expression changed, and he added, "There are many, so many, it must be a gathering of demon riders."
Both of them had experience fighting many demon riders, and though they hadn't seen them, they could discern some clues.
Wu Jinliang turned his head and said, "Chun Tian, it seems they are coming towards us. We can't stay here; we must relocate."
While saying this, he glanced at San, who, after looking back at Shi Chun, remained calm and composed.
This San had also fought with many demon riders before, so he was aware of the terror of such a large gathering of demon riders, yet he remained fearless.
He mused quietly, thinking that this is indeed the demeanor of a great mount.
Shi Chun was somewhat hesitant, still reluctant to leave the killing aura here, but ultimately he considered everyone's safety and reluctantly said, "Withdraw."
Tong Mingshan, with his white hair flowing outside his helmet, immediately said to Wu Jinliang, "I'll lead the way, you protect the Master."
He truly believed Shi Chun was injured, as he had witnessed Shi Chun staggering and spitting blood.
Hence, the group forcefully broke through.
However, the accelerated impactful advance of the demon riders' formation far surpassed their expectations. Shi Chun and his group hadn't traveled far before they heard the rapid approach of rumbling sounds behind them, mixed with various panicked cries.
The momentum was such that even Shi Chun's expression changed. He quickly turned his hand to produce the 'Beidou Rejection Spirit Umbrella', holding the handle ready to twist it and activate the array.
Unexpectedly, the rear commotion suddenly shifted, turning into a deafening, dense bombardment noise.
The surging shockwaves from the back weaved through the crowd like flowing ribbons, those with lower cultivation were even unsteadied mid-air, directly pushed away.
The sky at the rear seemed to darken, filled with countless screams, coupled with the countless sorrowful cries of demon riders amidst the intense bombardment.
Soon, the crowd obstructing the view dispersed considerably due to the attacking commotion. Everyone immediately witnessed a spectacle as countless mountains descended from the sky like meteors or thunderbolts.
The bombardment's target was the innumerable demon rider congregation.
The scene of indiscriminately bombarding the demon rider congregation, leaving them no place to hide, was indeed soul-stirring.
The demon cultivators charging on demon riders were bombarded until they called for their mothers and fathers, trying to escape through any gap, grateful for their smaller sizes than the riders, who found nowhere to hide with their massive bodies.
"Dongguo Shou!" Wu Jinliang murmured, looking back, for he had witnessed the 'Word and Law Follow' Divine Skill before. Thus, he immediately knew who had acted, and this scale of attack was much stronger than he had ever seen, an actual large-scale bombing.
The previously life-and-death intertwined parties scattered like ripples at that moment.
Even after scattering, the forces from several great teams mingled together still refrained from fighting, instead, they all stopped to watch.
The falling mountains did not pursue them and continued bombarding the moving demon rider congregation, ceaselessly massacring them until none remained.
The scene was so intimidating that even the onlookers felt trembling in their hearts.
Some had already guessed who initiated the attack.
As the various forces scattered, the truth surrounded by the mirrored images within each team's vision finally emerged, yet it was an unbearable sight for the command center of the West Niu Team.
Bombing, large-scale bombing, not even sparing the demon riders already beaten to the ground, continuing to bombard them.
Niu Qian watched with bloodshot eyes from the central high platform. He was previously wary of Dongguo Shou acting, so he attempted to strike first, planning to scatter immediately if successful, but his fears were confirmed. There was no room for luck.
He shouted hoarsely, "Scatter, order them to scatter…"
A group of subordinates was frantically executing orders, yet it was in vain. Even without orders, the demon riders would still attempt to flee. The key was that they were engulfed by dense bombardment and couldn't escape, moving barely any distance, unable to maneuver their massive bodies to avoid the bombardment.
They could only endure round after round of relentless pounding until they were beaten down to the ground and repeatedly bombarded again.
Those mountains disappeared into thin air after hitting, so there was no burial or accumulation to hinder on the ground.
It wasn't long before not a single demon rider was left in the sky; all embedded into the ground's dust, while the mountains above continued to appear, persistently bombarding the ground.
Watching the mirror image, Manxi's face was tight, showing no hint of joy, for this spectacle was indeed ordered by him.
This would undoubtedly result in many deaths among his own people.
But the emergence of the demon rider congregation forced his hand, not to mention the ownership of thousands of tokens in the Extreme Abyss below. If the West Niu Team captured Shi Chun, allowing them free reign within the Extreme Abyss, his current advantages might all crumble.
"One general achieves success over thousands of bones," he truly couldn't afford to hesitate.
With the prolonged bombardment eventually ceasing, the mountains in the air vanished into nothing. A one-armed figure descended from the sky, haughtily overlooking the entire battlefield, appearing in the mirrors of the Five Great Teams.
The command centers of the Five Great Teams fell silent.
The armies of the scattered teams gazed from afar, now all aware of who the newcomer was. This individual had single-handedly halted the great battle, attracting respectful and admiring glances from everyone.
Suddenly, Dongguo Shou's figure vanished into thin air.
Upon reappearing, he stood before Shi Chun and his group, facing them.
Shi Chun was just about to salute when Dongguo Shou unexpectedly locked onto Wu Jinliang, coldly saying, "Wu Jinliang, now tell me clearly, is Li Hongjiu's identity real, or are you deliberately desecrating our sect leader?"
The smile on Wu Jinliang's face instantly froze. Such a terrifying figure arriving to question him like this, how could he possibly respond?
The goodwill smile on Shi Chun's face also vanished instantly, his hand that meant to salute slowly lowered, nonchalantly responding, "I heard you lost my Sky Splitting Sword?"
