Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 148: Night Battle in All Directions (Alliance Leader Extra)
At the second watch of the night, the mountains and forests were completely silent, and the moon was cold and white with frost.

There was a bright fire on the top of Taoyuan Mountain and the temperature dropped sharply. The white air exhaled by the Taoist priests on night patrol formed a layer of small ice beads on their eyebrows and beards.

But for these tough Taoist priests, the cold and fatigue were nothing. They were only worried about one thing: whether the enemy would attack overnight.

The answer is yes.

Suddenly, sharp whistles sounded from all over the mountain. The Taoists stared at the mountain with wide eyes, but they only saw a dark area...

After a while, the Taoists heard the sound of dense footsteps, which hit their hearts like drumbeats, making them so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

Suddenly, a ghost army rushed out from the darkness, followed by countless ghost soldiers, who rushed to the foot of the mountain from all directions and began to climb up using their hands and feet.

The night raid begins!

"Enemy attack!" Amid screams, the warning gong sounded rapidly.

The Taoists who were on guard in the cave jumped up immediately upon hearing the sound and rushed back to their battle positions.

Just when they were ready for battle, the enemy had already climbed halfway up the mountain. The Taoists quickly pushed down rolling stones and wooden logs to resist the enemy's attack.

Unlike the battle during the day, the defense was under tremendous pressure as soon as the battle started. Because the night was the home ground of the ghost army, they were not affected by the darkness at all and could see as clearly as during the day.

The Taoists, however, need to open their third eye to achieve the same effect, so most of them are still trapped in darkness and can only rely on the light of fire and the reminders of their companions to discover the enemy. Naturally, they are caught in a dilemma and unable to defend themselves.

Ghost soldiers kept climbing up the mountain from all over and launched surprise attacks on the Taoists. The Taoists resisted tenaciously and drove them down the mountain again and again, but more ghost soldiers came up and stood firm with their advantage in numbers.

Gradually, the flames of war mainly burned on the top of the mountain. On the top of Taoyuan Mountain, there were flames and shouts of killing everywhere.

The Taoists held swords and wielded ghost-torturing sticks, bravely fighting against the ghost army that was armed to the teeth.

In terms of pure combat power, whether individually or as a whole, the Taoists were far inferior to the other side. Fortunately, their magic weapons and Taoist magic had a good restraining effect on the ghost army.

For example, the torture sticks in their hands, although just a short stick of jujube wood with words such as "Fighting Evil and Eliminating Witches Marshal Meng" and "Executing and Torturing Ghosts Marshal Zhu", are not enough to fight against ordinary soldiers. But they are very effective against the ghost army. One hit with the stick can seriously injure them through the armor.

Those Taoist priests who don't know magic use these magic weapons to fight the ghost army. The Taoist priests who have supernatural powers are even more powerful. Each sect has its own unique skills to eliminate ghosts. The most effective one is the "transcendence technique" of the Taoist priests of the Maoshan Sect. As long as it hits the ghost army, it can remove the "corpse-driving technique" imposed on it.

The ghost army will turn back into corpses on the spot...

There is also the Luofu sect's 'Ghost Killing Curse', which also has a very good inhibitory effect on the ghost army.

It is with the help of these spells and magic weapons that they are able to resist the fearless and well-coordinated enemy forces.

But the ghost army is invincible, so of course they will not just act recklessly. The officers who were driving the corpses judged the situation and immediately changed their whistles.

Hearing the whistle, the ghost soldiers immediately attacked the Taoist priests who knew magic with all their might, causing considerable casualties.

Seeing this, the Taoist priests who could not cast spells rushed to stop them. When their weapons were knocked away, they used their flesh and blood to protect the Taoist priests behind them. Even when they were chopped to the ground, they hugged the ghost soldiers and rolled down the mountain before they died.

Tragic scenes were staged everywhere, and the number of Taoist priests who died began to rise. At this moment, the sound of a pipa like a silver bottle exploding was heard on the top of the mountain. The high-pitched and passionate sonorous music injected powerful strength into the tired Taoist priests, allowing them to cheer up and fight the enemy with all their strength!
The sound of the pipa had an even better effect. It could cover up the ghost army's whistles, making it impossible for the enemy officers to effectively command! The ghost army could only return to fighting on their own, and the pressure on the Taoist priests was instantly reduced a lot.

Seeing his usually neat and orderly army thrown into chaos by the sound of the piano, Qiang Liang could not help but frown. If the two armies really faced off, he would undoubtedly lose.

Fortunately, the enemy is a group of Taoist priests...

"This is no longer just an ordinary disturbance, we must strike hard!" Qiang Liang ordered his deputy general, 'Fei Ya' Yan Bie Gu. "Go and kill the guy playing the piano!"

"Yes!" Yan Biegu spread out a pair of flesh wings, flapped them twice, soared into the sky, and rushed straight to the source of the piano sound.

His entire body was pitch black, blending completely into the night sky. He flew fast and silently, and when no one noticed, he flew over the head of the woman playing the pipa, and the two forks in his hands shot out like lightning!

But above the woman's head, a red oil umbrella suddenly opened, which actually blocked the powerful blow.

But the woman was also startled. She picked up her pipa and tried to dodge, but she saw a white figure blocking her way and fighting with the big bat.

"Keep shooting, I'll protect you!" A Yao shouted, and the bone sword turned into a bone spear. With one breath, he stabbed out 108 times, forcing back the bat demon Yan Biegu, who had passed eight levels and had the six orifices equivalent to humans.

Back in Changxing, A Yao fought back and forth with a white ape that had passed the fifth level. It had only been a month, but he was able to fight a monster that had passed the eighth level. His improvement in strength could no longer be described as rapid, it was simply a thousand miles a day!
Yan Biegu's overall strength is actually far superior to A Yao, but A Yao has no mana or spells at all, and all his abilities are concentrated on attack, defense, and speed, so that in close combat, the two are actually evenly matched.

As the saying goes, beat the old master to death with random punches.

This made Yan Biegu very embarrassed. He was a bat demon known for his speed and agility, but he was not faster than the other party!

On the battlefield, he didn't care about his dignity. He spread his wings and flew up, distanced himself from this crazy woman who was like a copper pea and could not be defeated or broken by a hammer, and used magic to attack her while floating.

Now A Yao was a little overwhelmed. She also had to take care of Su Xiaoxiao behind her, so she couldn't move too much. She could only turn the bone into a shield to withstand the opponent's attack.

But Yan Biegu’s supernatural powers are equivalent to the six orifices of humans. How can he resist forever?

He opened his mouth and an invisible and silent sound wave burst out, which knocked the little girl with a copper head and iron skin to the ground!
Just as he was about to increase his strength and kill her, he heard an angry shout: "How dare you hurt my sister!"

At the same time, a bolt of lightning broke through the sky and hit Yan Biegu directly. He fell to the ground with a scream.

Ren Yuan had been holding back until now because the two powerful masters on the other side hadn't made a move. It was a good deal for him to hold down two of them by himself.

But seeing that his senior sister was in danger, he could no longer care about anything else and finally couldn't help but take action.

Of course, still in the form of 'Big Brother'.

A 'Shangqing Five Thunder Talisman' that had been accumulating power for a long time knocked Yan Biegu down from the sky. Thunders fell one after another, and it seemed that he was about to be electrocuted into a roasted bat.

Now Qiangliang had no choice but to take action. He appeared beside Yan Biegu in the blink of an eye, threw a fist towards the sky, and took the purple lightning. The lightning shone in his hand. Not only could it not cause any harm to him, but it became his weapon!

Qiang Liang then used thunder as a whip and lashed at Ren Yuan with tremendous force!
