Chapter 403.3. Army of Spirits


    Bi Ji was lost. She could onlymand her kinsmen as she unleashed healing soul skills one after another so that she could save as many of herpatriots lives as possible.


    The undead army was still fighting. Their battle against the soul beasts was like the soul beasts battle against Shrek Citys warriors; the army of undead suffered massive losses, and ten undead had to die to kill one soul beast. But so what?


    Huo Yuhao had relied on his formidable spiritual power and the demine that the Cmity Necromancer Electrolux had left behind for him, and summoned a hundred thousand low-tier undead creatures.


    If these undead shed with the army of soul beasts in a frontal battlefield, those undead would be rapidly overrun.


    However, the soul beast army had been fighting for two days and two nights, while the top-tier soul beasts were currently preupied in battles with Shrek Academys elites on the other side. Under such circumstances, what could the other soul beasts do? A hundred thousand undead charging through their ranks and the disturbance they caused was enough to affect the tide of battle.


    Furthermore, even though those undead didnt know how to cooperate, injuries didnt really affect their fighting strength. Their point of entry was excellent, and the army of soul beasts on the western and northern fronts descended into chaos. Their assault on Shrek City was now conspicuously weaker than before.


    Reinforcements reinforcements were here! Shreks warriors on the city walls didnt know that an army of undead was their reinforcements, but the soul beasts slowing charge reinvigorated their spirits. The soul beasts who had climbed to the top of these two sides were forced back down, and some soul masters who were no longer preupied took this temporary break to recover their soul power.


    A furious and deafening roar echoed high up in the sky. Golden-yellow clouds rolled in the sky, and an enormous figure could be faintly seen struggling in the clouds.


    Di Tian couldnt participate in the battle below, but his formidable strength meant he still had a connection to the army of soul beasts, and he could still feel their situation. He had discovered that things were going wrong, and he redoubled his efforts to break through the Taotie Seal that Elder Xuan and Elder Mu were using together to hold him down.


    The army of undead began to dwindle in number, and new ones no longer charged in from the distance. There were fewer and fewer undead, but the army of soul beasts that they were attacking was also dwindling!


    Time continued to pass as the soul beasts attacking on the northern and western fronts had their fighting strength greatly weakened.


    Boom, boom, boom


    ck lighting detonated throughout the glowing clouds high up in the sky. Cracks began to appear in the sky; Di Tian was finally about to break out from his seal!


    Elder Mu and Elder Xuan had restrained Di Tian for three days with the Golden Trees support. However, the Golden Tree had consumed a lot of energy when it had healed the citys soldiers, and when it forcibly repelled the soul beasts which were flooding in. Furthermore, Di Tian could feel the dire situation that his kinsmen were in, and he couldnt be bothered with his own injuries as he tried to break out of the seal at any cost. The seal was about to crumble!


    The soul beasts were galvanized a little when they heard Di Tians roar.


    The Emerald Swanmunicated with the other three Savage Beasts across the battlefield, and finally gave the order to temporarily retreat.


    The swarming beast tide gradually retreated, but they circled around Shrek City to the northwest as they retreated.


    They would have to resolve the problems behind them if they wanted to exert any pressure in front of them. Even though they didnt know where the army of undead hade from, these things were far too irritating. Their assault on Shrek City could stop for now, but they had to exterminate these unwee guests, no matter what!


    What happened afterwards proved the gap between the undead army and the soul beast army. When the army of soul beasts from all four fronts surrounded them, it didnt take more than fifteen minutes for them to overrun the army of undead, until there wasnt a single unliving creature left. Even now, not many people could see who their reinforcements were from the top of Shrek Citys walls.


    The soul beasts had retreated, but they didnt move too far away. They began to eat the carcasses of the soul beasts that had died to replenish themselves.


    The four Savage Beasts finally rendezvoused with one another. They didnt speak at all, and their faces looked as ck as could be. They had lost this battle, and the immense losses they had sustained were heavy blows to the Great Star Dou Forests vitality. This was especially true since the Auspicious Emperor Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, had passed away.


    They were all waiting for Di Tian to break out of his seal. Only the Beast God could make the final decision about whether they should attack or retreat.


    The top of Shreks city walls were wretched and in tatters.


    In the same moment that the army of soul beasts retreated, everyone slumped to the ground on the city walls. This included soldiers, soul masters, and even Shrek Academys students and teachers from the inner courtyard.


    They had been locked in bitterbat for a day and a night, and they had consumed far too much energy in both mind and body.


    At this moment, there was hardly anyone who could still stand on Shreks city walls.


    The boost to morale brought about by the arrival of reinforcements vanished with the soul beasts retreat, and only surging exhaustion and fatigue were left behind.


    The four Savage Beasts didnt know this, but if they had continued with another assault at this moment, they would probably have achieved impressive results!


    Everyone from the Tang Sect was also slumped limply on the ground. This group included Nan Shuishui, Nan Qiuqiu, and Ye Guyi. Everyones clothes were stained with the blood of soul beasts.


    Reality proved that the battle strategies that Bei Bei had arranged were very sensible. They relied on their mutual chemistry and how close they were to each other to maintain themselves as one body even in the toughest of times.


    Nan Shuishui was a Soul Douluo, and in addition to Ye Guyi and Nan Qiuqiu, the three of them became effective reinforcements. Even though everyone was injured, everyone managed to survive.


    Ji Juechen became the most brilliant celebrity on the southern city wall after this battle. He had killed countless soul beasts with his Judgement Sword, and there were many warriors and soul masters from Shreks city defense army who were hollering, Sword God!


    At this moment, their Sword God couldnt keep himself together anymore, and he panted heavily as he leaned against the battlement. However, not a single tinge of exhaustion could be seen in his eyes, there was only excitement.


    Yes, he had managed to achieve a better understanding of swordy through this battle, and had achieved some breakthroughs with his own strength.


    Ever since he got together with Jing Ziyan, many new things had been added to his life. This time, he had relied on this continuous battle and danger to infuse these new elements into his sword intent. For him, doing so was more important than raising his soul power.


    Bei Bei was also panting in simr fashion, but there was a look of anxiety on his face as he stared into the sky. Shreks perils hadnt beenpletely resolved.


    Look, whats that? Xu Sanshi suddenly raised his hand forcibly and pointed into the sky.


    Everyone followed the direction his finger was pointing, and could see a shadow soaring through the air in the distance. This shadow came straight for Shrek City, and descended to the city wall. A trail of green mes flickering with strange images followed behind this shadow.


    The green mes were the mark of Shrek. It also meant that this person, who was flying back from a distance, was friendly!


    Reinforcements? Everyones eyes sparkled when they thought about Elder Songs exmation from before. Shreks city walls were swimming with victims who were wounded and exhausted, but the soul beasts had suffered far, far heavier losses than Shrek did. Quite a few soul masters had perished in battle, but there were a lot more who had survived.


    The Tang Sects members quivered when they felt a wave of peculiar spiritual undtions, and the shadow that was flying through the airnded beside them.


    The night was dark, but this shadow carried Shreks green signal, so his soaring figure was ringly clear. This person quickly descended from the sky andnded on top of the city wall. Furthermore, hended amid the Tang Sects members.


    Yuhao! Everyone from the Tang Sect was mired in extreme exhaustion at this moment, but they couldnt help but exim in pleasant surprise when they saw him.


    Yes! Wasnt that Huo Yuhao who was descending from the sky?


    Huo Yuhao had recovered his spiritual power and sensed the changes in Shrek City at the same time. He had managed to escape from under the Evileye Tyrant Kings nose, so it wasnt hard to imagine how strong his spiritual power was.


    When he discovered that the army of soul beasts had temporarily retreated, he flew to Shrek City without hesitation. Of course, he took a long detour to avoid the soul beasts that were concentrated on the northwestern front, and arrived on the southern side of the city. He used Spiritual Detection and quickly found his buddies.


    Eldest senior brother, second senior brother, third senior brother Im back. Tears welled up in Huo Yuhaos eyes when he saw his buddies strewn all over the ground. However, he didnt sob out loud. Instead, he swiftly released his spiritual power to check on everyones wounds.


    He heaved a sigh of relief when he was sure that everyone was more or less fine, and sat down beside Bei Bei.


    Bei Bei stared at Huo Yuhao and forced augh as he said, Youre back after all, Yuhao. Youve really caused quite a disaster this time!


    Huo Yuhao forced augh too and said, I know, and Im sorry. Eldest senior brother, I


    Xu Sanshi said, Thats enough, Bei Bei. How can you me Yuhao for this disaster? He didnt know that Qiuer was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion! Are you saying that our Yuhao was supposed to die instead?


    Bei Bei turned towards Huo Yuhao and sighed faintly. You shouldnt havee back.


    Huo Yuhao gazed back at Bei Bei and said, I had toe back, eldest senior brother.


    Bei Bei red at him. The beast tide is still here. Havent you considered that youll create a spark for Shrek and the Tang Sect?


    Huo Yuhao looked up at the gash in the sky that was bingrger andrger. Is that Elder Xuan sealing away Di Tian? This beast tide should be ending soon.


    Excitement flowed in Bei Beis eyes. He shook his head and said, No, Elder Xuan isnt the only one. Our ancestor is also there.


    Ancestor? Huo Yuhao was momentarily stunned before he recovered. His eyes sparkled as he asked, You youre saying, our teacher is there, too?


    Huo Yuhaos emotions rippled, and everyone from the Tang Sect around him instantly felt a wave of flourishing spiritual pressure radiate from his body, shaking everyones hearts.


    Bei Bei eximed in astonishment, Yuhao, your spiritual power!
