You call this the way of the sword?

The sword spirit suddenly appeared, blocking the only way out. The foreigners were immediately filled with shock and anger, and unleashed various skills in unison.

In an instant, a stream of light surged forth, striking the sword soul from both near and far.

Golden light flashed as armor materialized, and the captain of the Beautiful Country transformed into a knight and launched a charge.

Roses dance in the air as the romantic captain unleashes a barrage of attacks.

A shikigami descends from the sky; the captain of the small island nation summons a soul-type monster that is neither human nor ghost.

Three more poison gas attacks were launched, instantly engulfing the sword spirit.

The Taoist skills from various countries are diverse in form and appearance, bizarre and wonderful, and look quite impressive.

Moreover, they are no longer newcomers or rising stars; each of them is above level 25, and their highest attributes have exceeded 10,000, surpassing the Sword Soul's 8500 in all four dimensions.

However, attributes are not the ultimate representation of strength, and a swordsman is not just someone who stands there and takes a beating.

As the opponent launched their attack, 100 sword spirits shot out like lightning.

They met the charge of the American knights head-on, their swords piercing through the flowers and poisonous gas, attacking ranged squishy targets amidst the screams of the shikigami, causing them to scream in terror.

As soon as the battle began, the Sword Soul displayed an overwhelming advantage with unstoppable momentum.

Overwhelming in mobility, numbers, techniques, and overall combat strength, the foreign troops were thrown into disarray once again after just one exchange.

They were unsurprisingly driven back by the Sword Soul, and escaping into the dungeon became a pipe dream.

"Damn it!!"

"What the hell is this thing?!"

"A sixth-grade sword spirit... is it a new demon race?"

"No, they're all level 30! Why are they level 30? That's impossible!!"

Their only escape route was cut off, and the foreigners were furious and desperate. But they didn't have much time to react, as the charging demons had already reached the outskirts of the camp.

In the air, Qin Hongru and the others were also filled with surprise and doubt, especially the other three team members, whose attention was entirely focused on the sword spirit, and they also used their Insight Technique to see the clues.

A Sword Master's 8500 stats may not seem high, but that's 8500 in all four dimensions! A well-rounded warrior!

Moreover, they are all level 30, which is far beyond the level cap allowed by the battlefield rules!

This is theoretically impossible; the only possibility is skill advancement!

The fact that the sword soul's master has already been elevated despite not yet having reached the Dao body level indicates that he must be a talented cultivator, a summoning-type talented cultivator!

Seeing the foreigners being repelled by the sword spirit once again, two words flashed through Qin Hongru and the others' minds.

Stable.

Accompanied by several heart-wrenching screams, the nimble demon vanguard arrived on the battlefield.

Unlike the Sword Soul, which focuses on blocking, they employ standard battlefield tactics.

They ambush fragile magic-type characters, never making direct contact with the main attacker, interfering from the side, blocking their retreat, and applying item debuffs, all in an orderly fashion, like a nested doll.

If things continue like this, once the main force of the demons arrives, it will be a matter of reaping their rewards.

At this moment, the sword spirit suddenly retreated, and the two captains of the American Kingdom were freed. They were surprised to find that everyone had gathered together and were surrounded by a mere dozen or so demons!

"Fuck! What are you doing?!"

"Damn piece of trash!"

"Quick, everyone, break through with me!!"

Suddenly, a burst of golden light appeared, and the 38 people from the 8 foreign teams were all clad in golden knight armor, greatly enhancing their defensive capabilities.

Unfortunately, opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting, and because they did not choose to break out immediately, they had no chance to break out again.

The reason why the Sword Soul retreated was because the main force of the Demon Ghost had arrived.

Faced with dozens of teams and hundreds of demons, even the strongest defense could not turn the tide.

Of course, the foreigners wouldn't just sit idly by and wait to die. They roared and struggled, desperately trying to break through to a way out, but the price was being torn apart by the demons one after another.

"Wow, wow, wow, a hero!!"

Faced with a four-meter-tall elephant-headed half-demon, the captain of the small island nation roared in terror and anger, unleashing a powerful wave of skill energy as he prepared to unleash his trump card.

However, with a loud bang, the half-demon slammed down with a punch, instantly turning him into a bloody pulp.

Upon seeing this, Yang Qingfeng's lips twitched slightly. "What's he yelling about?"

Qin Hongru translated somewhat awkwardly, "We... are heroes."

After a moment of silence, Yang Qingfeng couldn't help but mutter, "More like an idiot."

Lin Miaoyu chuckled, and the other three team members nodded in deep agreement. Then they fell into deep thought, pondering how they would survive if they were down there.

Yang Qingfeng didn't have this problem. He looked at the captains of the other countries, as well as several demons and ghosts who were clearly exceptional in combat power, and asked, "Their Dao bodies are quite unique. Do you recognize them?"

As the team leader, Qin Hongru has a lot on her mind and knows a lot.

She glanced around and immediately began to explain to Yang Qingfeng: "That's the Holy Light Armor, said to be some kind of angelic path from ancient Western times, with very high defensive capabilities. That's a shikigami, a special body unique to this small island nation, belonging to the summoning style."

"The principles of the Romantic Kingdom and the Queen's Kingdom are of the same lineage, collectively known as the Way of the Knights."

"Besides them, there were also the Power Elephant, the Fire Ape, the Golden Roc, the Hanged Ghost, the Skinning Ghost, the Starving Ghost..."

Just as humans are divided into different countries and races, there are also complex racial branches among demons and ghosts.

To thoroughly understand each race and branch of demons and ghosts would take a considerable amount of time, and only the military would do so, because the Yu Xia calendar emphasizes knowing oneself and one's enemy.

The terms Qin Hongru used to refer to demons and ghosts were based on common knowledge in the community.

These are all abbreviations that combine the physical attributes of demons and ghosts, some racial characteristics, and ancient sayings.

By using this abbreviation, one can quickly identify the approximate attributes of demons and ghosts, and then take a relatively effective method to defeat them.

For example, with the Force Elephant, you don't need to know its detailed skills; just know not to blindly fight it.

For example, the Golden Roc, whose name means iron or speed, tells you to be careful of its sudden attack when you see it.

The demon race has even more rules and customs, but their characteristics and habits have long been thoroughly studied. Even a three-year-old child knows that a starving demon eats people.

What interests Yang Qingfeng most is that most of the demon race are half-demons, while the ghost race is born in human form.

According to Bai Xiaoxing, most of the ghosts were not born from a mother's womb, but came from hell.

As for the exact location of Hell, even the ghosts themselves don't know, just as the demons themselves don't know which alien realm the demons came from.

After Qin Hongru finished her explanation, the battle below came to an end.

The 38 foreigners fought desperately and managed to kill some demons and ghosts. Yu Xia's team, which had been lying in ambush in the distance, showed themselves one after another, all waiting for Qin Hongru's signal.

Little did they know that this signal would never have existed in the first place.

As the last American member was torn apart by the demon, six pebbles slowly drifted down, hovering in six different positions, and the sword exploded in all directions.

With a loud bang, all the howls and screams of demons vanished.

With nearly 60 years of cultivation, it possesses 400% of its power, covering an area with a diameter of approximately 600 meters.

The six-sided sword explosion covered the entire battlefield, instantly causing the ground to shake and a fierce wind to sweep across it.

Wherever the shockwave passed, the earth cracked, demons and monsters exploded, blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and broken armor and severed weapons flew through the air, sparking as they hurtled away in the gale.

The furthest broken blades stretched for over a thousand meters, piercing right at the feet of Yu Xia's teams. They all looked down at the same time, and a thought flashed through their minds.

what?
