New and dark light years

Chapter 184: Broken Halberd
The corpses turned into streaks of blood-red silk, all of which disappeared into the mouth of the Lizard-Headed True Lord.

The soldiers couldn't see the ghost, but they could see the flesh and blood turning into blood threads, all flying to the altar in front of the enemy lines, and then disappearing.

Something's fishy!

That scoundrel is up to no good.

The monster is eating corpses, will it eat me?

Seeing this bizarre scene, the village militiamen's expressions turned terrified.

The fear of the supernatural is ingrained in our instincts.

Li Lin shouted, "Don't worry, the Tree Fairy will protect us. The enemy's tricks won't be able to get in."

Hearing this, everyone looked up at the peach tree illusion in the night sky and felt much more at ease.

The lizard lord quickly devoured all the corpses and flesh beneath the city wall.

Nourished, it grew taller and taller.

Then it looked up and gave a defiant smile at the illusion of peach blossoms in the air.

Qin Donglai turned around, cupped his hands, and said, "Please help me break through the city wall, True Lord."

The Lizard Lord nodded and slowly floated forward.

As it got closer, Li Lin realized that this True Monarch's size was indeed a bit exaggerated.

It is at least two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) long.

At this moment, Bai Zhiwei, Bai Bufan, Ding Yingqiu, and all the spirit hunters in Yulin County had stood behind Li Lin.

Li Lin said to the captains beside him, "Go down and proceed according to plan."

Several captains left, taking most of the local militia with them.

The number of people on the city wall suddenly decreased significantly.

At that moment, the lizardmen also floated over.

It was only about ten zhang away from the city wall.

Then, it extended its claws.

A strange, yin energy condensed in his right claw and quickly took shape.

It was a cloud of gray mist that, after being compressed, transformed into a spinning black bead in less than two breaths.

The surface is smooth and bright.

But all the Spirit Hunters could feel an astonishing power emanating from this bead.

Ding Yingqiu couldn't help but hiss, "This is deadly! I can't believe that a Spirit Hunter of Rank 4 or above can deal with such a powerful monster. Just how strong are those old fogies in the capital?"

Li Lin didn't say anything.

The Lizard Lord looked at the illusion with a provocative expression.

The black bead began to tremble rapidly, as if it were about to break free.

Just as the black bead in its hand was about to be 'shot' out, the illusion of the peach tree above the county town disappeared.

The Tree Fairy, who was only a little over half a zhang tall, appeared three zhang in front of the Lizard True Lord.

A little over half a zhang tall, compared to a height of two zhang... their physiques are not on the same level.

The lizard lord's eyes revealed a look of contempt. It pressed its right paw forward, intending to crush the tree fairy in front of it into dust.

But at that moment, the Tree Fairy Goddess made a move.

Suddenly, a peach tree appeared beside her.

The peach tree was covered with peach blossoms, and then the petals fell off and fluttered in the air.

The whole world seemed to have turned pink.

Even the ordinary soldiers who couldn't see the ghost could see the rain of peach blossoms falling from the sky.

"So beautiful!" Ding Yingqiu couldn't help but exclaim.

Amidst this beautiful scenery, the Lizard Lord suddenly stopped moving.

Its eyes were filled with confusion.

The Tree Fairy Goddess struggled to twist her neck, looked at Li Lin, and slowly nodded.

"Blow the horn!" Li Lin immediately ordered.

The soldier next to him immediately picked up a horn and blew out a long, deep sound.

The sound echoed throughout the entire county.

The city gates opened, and several captains took the lead, rushing straight out.

Li Lin used his lightness technique to leap off the city wall, spear in hand. The other Spirit Hunters immediately followed.

"For the county magistrate, for the sake of the villagers behind us, follow me to fight the enemy!"

Su Bei shouted and charged to the front.

The soldiers, brandishing their weapons and howling wildly, quickly followed.

Meanwhile, on the enemy's side, Qin Donglai showed a look of surprise.

Generally speaking, apart from the border troops, the other local militias and imperial guards of the Great Qi were cowards who only knew how to defend the city.

Then his gaze fell on the lizard lord who was frozen in mid-air, and he shook his head and sighed helplessly, "I knew these monsters were unreliable. He was actually frozen by a lord from a small county town. What a waste of all the blood energy he consumed. What a piece of trash."

Qin Donglai waved his hand, and the gaunt Southern Barbarian soldiers behind him began to charge forward.

Unlike the local militia in Yulin County, they didn't make a sound; they simply charged silently.

Qin Donglai looked at Su Bei, who was charging ahead. At this moment, the distance between the two was only a dozen feet, and he could see the other's young and inexperienced face.

"A hothead is the first to die."

He suddenly turned around, and an arrow appeared in his hand. He then braced himself, nocked the arrow, and drew his bow. Just as he was about to release the arrow, his eyebrows twitched, and he immediately abandoned the attempt to shoot, leaping backward.

The instant he leaped into the air, purple lightning struck down from the sky.

With a loud bang, it struck a spot half a zhang in front of him.

At that distance, it was practically face-to-face.

Qin Donglai could see the twisted edges of lightning, and the stones that flew up when lightning struck the ground.

Qin Donglai landed on the ground and looked ahead, only to find Li Lin standing ten zhang away, with the local militia of Daqi swarming past him.

The other person stood upright, towering majestically amidst the turbulent currents.

Such a fast lightning strike spell?
Qin Donglai vaguely sensed that things were out of his control.

Whether it was the Lizard Lord being immobilized, or... the speed of progress of the man in front of them.

Just a few months ago, his lightning strike spell wasn't this powerful, nor was it this fast.

Qin Donglai drew his bow again, ready to shoot. This time, his target was no longer Su Bei, but Li Lin.

The man in the red official robe.

But just as the arrow was nocked, he suddenly jumped back.

Another huge bolt of purple lightning struck in front of him.

This time it was even closer to his body.

He could even feel the heat emanating from the lightning.

The other party seemed to have sped up again.

Just as Qin Donglai was thinking this, the third lightning strike came down.

He fled in a sorry state, and the bolt of lightning struck him a foot in front of his forehead.

He could even smell the burnt hair.

This is wrong, this is wrong!
He roared with rage inside.

It shouldn't be like this.

He came full of confidence.

In order to break through the city, he not only brought more than a thousand people, but also a True Lord.

With this lineup, dealing with a small county should be a piece of cake.

But why did it turn out this way?

At that moment, another bolt of lightning struck.

The opponent's lightning strikes were faster and faster each time.

This time, his body was still in mid-air during the jump, with no way to avoid it.

But the purple lightning had already taken shape in the air, and there was no escaping it.

He gritted his teeth and threw the iron bow in his hand upwards with all his might!
Boom.

Purple lightning struck the iron-rimmed bow.

Blasted.

Wood chips and sheet metal flew everywhere, and one piece landed on his shoulder.

Qin Donglai grunted.
