101: Seven Star Cannon, Ghost Strike

He quickly shouted loudly, “Everyone, scatter! Scatter quickly!”

However, it was already too late.

An extremely oppressive and terrifying aura spread towards them like a giant net.

Looking up at the sky, hundreds of huge spirit projectiles, like cannonballs, shimmered with golden light.

Each spirit projectile, the size of a basketball, seemed to reveal a smiling face.

Dense and overwhelming, they rained down on Hu Bairi and the others.

Boom… rumble… bang…

Accompanied by a series of explosions, smoke filled the air.

Waves of heat swept out from the explosions, and the temperature suddenly rose, as if it were a giant furnace.

Those Orcs who couldn't escape were directly swallowed by the thick smoke before they could even let out a scream.

This was the Dragon Cannon Saint Guard's Rare grade spirit skill: Seven Star Consecutive Cannon.

It was known as a mobile humanoid artillery platform, with extremely high lethality and immense destructive power.

When the smoke cleared, the entire ground was scorched, beyond recognition, and the smell of burning drifted with the wind.

Of the original two thousand five hundred plus Orcs, only less than a thousand remained after being bombarded by the Dragon Cannon Saint Guard.

Over a thousand Orcs were killed directly, and most of the remaining Orcs were severely wounded.

Only Hu Bairi, five Tiger-man Lords, and nine Orc Generals reacted quickly, escaping in a hurry to avoid the calamity.

Otherwise, even if they didn't die, they would have been severely injured.

Suddenly, two figures shot out from both sides of the Tiger-man faction, roaring.

“Those who offend my Lord will be executed without mercy.”

At the critical moment, Gao Shun and Dian Wei arrived with their Soldiers.

Dian Wei unleashed a sweeping attack with his twin halberds, forcefully chopping them down, and an invisible halberd aura spread out.

Puff, puff, puff…

Hundreds of Giant Beast Soldiers and Berserker Soldiers were instantly killed under Dian Wei's twin halberds.

Gao Shun leaped out, activating his spirit skill, Unyielding Will (Epic), which directly boosted morale, instilling a determination to fight to the death, and increasing his and his allies' attack power.

The spirit skill Fearless Charge (Rare) was directly activated, increasing his movement speed, and making his next attack a short-distance lunge, increasing attack damage by forty percent.

Whoosh…

His long spear thrust out fiercely, and a powerful spear aura shot out from the spear tip, sweeping directly towards the Giant Beast Soldiers and Berserker Soldiers in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Giant Beast Soldiers and Berserker Soldiers were annihilated by that incredibly domineering spear aura.

Fifty Death Warriors, one hundred fifty Sword and Shield Guardss, twenty-five Strong Archers, fifteen Shadow Guards, twenty Magic Wolf Knights, and one hundred Dragon Cannon Saint Guards all came as reinforcements under the leadership of Gao Shun and Dian Wei.

The situation was instantly reversed, filling Hu Bairi and the others with fear.

“What in the world is this thing? How can its destructive power be so strong? Just one round of bombardment killed a large number of Soldiers.”

“If we hadn't run fast, we probably would have been severely injured even if we didn't die.”

“What kind of troop is that? Could it have been drawn from the heavenly dao roulette? It’s so abnormal.”

“Baili, if we're going to fight, we must first kill those things that can fire projectiles, otherwise we will be in an extremely dangerous state.”

…

Hu Bairi stared intently at Yang Qianhun and the others, remaining silent, while the other Tiger-man Lords spoke up one after another.

“Since we’re already here, if we don’t kill them, how will I, Hu Bairi, be able to continue in the Orc race?”

Hu Bairi said grimly, his eyes filled with ruthlessness, then pointed at Yang Qianhun in the distance and said, “He’s mine. You all take care of the others.”

After speaking, Hu Bairi took out a battle knife from his spatial bag, and a blue light flashed across his body.

He charged towards Yang Qianhun.

The other Tiger-man Lords exchanged glances, feeling quite helpless.

After issuing combat orders to the surviving Soldiers, they also charged towards Dian Wei and Gao Shun and the others.

Yang Qianhun had already put the dragon's bane into his spatial bag, and with a backhand, he took out the crimson abyss ghost sword and charged straight at Hu Bairi.

Hu Bairi, as a Spirit Practitioner of the sixth stage, was only one stage lower than Yang Qianhun.

In less than a moment, with a clang.

A knife and a sword clashed, creating a loud noise.

Two powerful forces collided, forming two repulsive forces that struck Yang Qianhun and Hu Bairi respectively.

Hu Bairi was directly pushed back by the repulsive force, his body suddenly retreating more than ten meters before he stopped.

But as an Orc, his physique was still quite formidable.

This blow only pushed him back; it did not injure him.

In contrast, Yang Qianhun only took a few steps back before stopping, standing steadily.

“This human’s strength is even above mine. I cannot let him live. Given time, he will become a great threat.”

Hu Bairi’s face showed a solemn expression.

Amidst his shock, he had already decided that no matter the cost, he would completely suppress and kill Yang Qianhun.

“We’re here to help you.”

Three voices came from not far away, as three Orc Generals arrived as reinforcements, two of whom were Spirit Practitioners of the seventh stage, and one a Spirit Practitioner of the ninth stage.

Four against one.

As for the others, Dian Wei faced three Orc Generals, one Spirit Practitioner of the ninth stage, and two Spirit Practitioners of the seventh stage.

Gao Shun was in a similar situation.

Finally, the other five Tiger-man Lords led their Beast Soldiers against Yang Qianhun’s Soldiers.

“We must kill him as quickly as possible, otherwise, once his two generals react, we won’t have a chance.”

Hu Bairi said, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

After all, it’s always better to gang up than to fight one-on-one. As long as the enemy can be killed, even if it’s not fair, it’s the most correct method.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the four, holding their weapons, charged at Yang Qianhun.

“The idea is beautiful, but reality is cruel.”

Yang Qianhun remained calm and composed as the four charged at him.

When the four came close, he raised the crimson abyss ghost sword in his hand and activated the skill: Ghost Shadow Assault.

In an instant, countless black ghost shadows darted out from the crimson abyss ghost sword, endless and innumerable.

They swarmed overwhelmingly towards Hu Bairi and the four, a vast, dark mass.

“Disperse them.”

Hu Bairi, gripping his battle knife, felt a hint of unease and roared.

“Get lost.”

The four, holding their battle knives and surging with spiritual power, directly cut through the black ghost shadows in front of them.

When the battle knife passed through the body of a black ghost shadow, it felt as if it were cutting through air.

“These aren’t solid, they’re fake.”

“Ignore these ghost shadows, kill him.”

“No… no, why do I feel so scared…”

“Get out of my body, get out.”

When these black ghost shadows merged into the bodies of Hu Bairi and the four, each reacted differently.

Especially the weaker ones, Hu Bairi and the other two Spirit Practitioner seventh-stage Orc Generals, whose faces showed fear.

It was as if their deepest fears, both objects and events, were magnified infinitely.

Only the Spirit Practitioner ninth-stage Orc General remained relatively calm; the black ghost shadows had difficulty causing him negative effects.

Upon invading his body, they were dispersed by his powerful strength in less than a second.

But the moment he regained his senses, everything was already over.

Yang Qianhun had already arrived in front of him, smiled coldly, and said in a deep voice, “Five Elements Seal.”
