The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 719 Playing with fire in front of me?

Flying swords and magical artifacts rose up with Feng Jixin's shout, then, carrying endless radiance and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they fell from the sky and crashed heavily onto the spiritual energy shield.

The pillars of light on the array instantly grew brighter, and a large number of spirit stones instantly transformed into spiritual energy, replenishing the sky and pouring into the spiritual energy shield.

Gu Yuanjie watched this scene with trepidation.

This is terrifying.

Can you hold it?

Do we really have to fight to the point of no return?
Lin Chen turned his head and shouted, "Senior Brother Gu, counterattack! If we let them bombard us like this, we won't be able to hold out for long!"

Gu Yuanjie turned his head and saw Lin Chen's cold and fierce, resolute eyes.

Gu Yuanjie's heart trembled, and his hesitation vanished instantly. In that instant, he even had a strange feeling that if he didn't order a counterattack, Lin Chen would step forward, take his place, and command the counterattack!
Die or die!

Gu Yuanjie was going all out, gritting his teeth and saying, "Spirit Stone Cannon, counterattack!"

Gu Yuanjie's voice resounded through the sky, and the spirit stone cannons, which had already been fully charged, instantly locked onto their respective targets and fired spirit energy shells.

The spirit energy cannonball is very simple, nothing fancy, just a ball of spirit energy with powerful impact and explosive capabilities. If you have to point out its characteristics, it's that it's fast and powerful!
The Spirit Stone Cannon is similar to the Water and Fire Mirror, a magical artifact that requires charging. Moreover, the Spirit Stone Cannon is engraved with countless runes and formations, capable of instantly devouring a large number of spirit stones, gathering all the spiritual energy together to deliver a heavy blow to the enemy.

The cultivators who were frantically attacking the spiritual energy shield in the sky never expected that the weak Bai Tao City would dare to use spirit stone cannons to retaliate. Weren't they afraid that after they broke through the city, not a single one of them would be left alive?
The spiritual energy cannonballs did not slow down in the slightest because of their shock. Dozens of spirit stone cannons fired at the same time, and several spiritual energy cannonballs instantly shot into the sky, each heading towards its own target.

"boom!"

In the violent explosion, people fell from the sky, and blood rained down from the heavens.

Caught off guard, this barrage of spiritual energy directly killed two Golden Core cultivators on the spot, and another Nascent Soul cultivator coughed up blood, his body covered in blood, and was seriously injured.

Feng Jixin's face turned quite ugly, and he roared, "You guys are really audacious! I'm going to kill every single one of you who participated in this battle. The moment the protective barrier breaks will be the moment you meet your end!"

Gu Yuanjie's face paled slightly, but the look in his eyes became even more resolute.

"Hold on! The city lord will wake up in ten days. If we can hold on for ten days, there will be no problem. If you want to live, then hold on!" The cultivators who participated in the defense of Baitao City all heard Feng Jixin's words, and they all went all out, working even harder to maintain the operation of the magic array and control the spirit stone cannon.

"Boom!"

The spirit stone cannon fired another round. This time, no one was hurt, but everyone was sent flying a considerable distance into the sky, no longer daring to attack while close to the spirit energy shield.

Once the distance is increased, all their attacks—whether magical artifacts, flying swords, or spells—are instantly weakened, and when they land on the city's protective shield, the pressure is greatly reduced.

Gu Yuanjie instructed the people around him: "Pass down the order: group the spirit stone cannons that are close together. Whoever gets close, focus on firing at that person. Don't scatter. If they are too far away, don't fire randomly. Try to conserve spirit stones!"

Looking up at the sky, Feng Jixin's expression was quite unpleasant.

He was, after all, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, but now he was blocked outside the protective barrier. He had been bragging for so long, but in the end, two of his men had died. Although they were only two Golden Core cultivators, it still made him lose face.

He glanced around and knew that it would be dangerous to let everyone get any closer, so he stepped aside and said, "Everyone, cast your spells and burn him! Keep burning him nonstop! Let's see how many spirit stones he can burn!"

The crowd immediately spread out in a large circle and began casting fire spells.

Blazing flames appeared in the sky, falling down as if they were alive, landing on the protective shield and burning fiercely.

Gu Yuanjie's expression changed drastically: "This is the Holy Fire Sect's signature technique, Spirit Fire. It uses spiritual energy as fuel, and the combustion generates extremely high temperatures, thus producing astonishing destructive power. It is said that when Spirit Fire covers the surface, even steel will be instantly reduced to molten liquid. It clings to the surface of the spiritual energy shield and burns, rapidly causing huge energy loss to the shield. Once the energy cannot be replenished in time, the spiritual energy shield will break, and they will be able to take the opportunity to attack..."

Lin Chen turned his head and said, "Give me a token that allows me to freely enter and exit the spiritual energy shield."

Gu Yuanjie was shocked: "Junior Brother Lin, are you going out?"

Lin Chen nodded: "I'll go out and deal with the flames. Otherwise, we'll always be on the defensive and at a disadvantage."

Gu Yuanjie warned, "That flame is fueled by spiritual energy, making it extremely difficult to deal with. The Holy Fire Sect is named after its spiritual fire, which is their specialty. It's not an ordinary flame that can be extinguished easily. Besides, there are so many people guarding outside. Going out would be suicide."

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "The Holy Flame Sect is doomed to suffer if they encounter me..."
