The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

"drive……"

"Drive, drive, drive..."

"Giddy up..."

As the city gates of Yueban City drew closer, the wide-open gates became visible from afar.

The city gate swayed slightly, and rust fell to the ground.

Shen Yingsi shouted to Dai Qin, "After entering the city, split into five groups and each of you will follow one of us to fight your way in."

"Yes!"

It seemed that Yueban was indeed just a deserted city. They rode their horses at full speed and entered the city.

The city was very peaceful, like an empty city. There was not a single demon in sight, yet the city was filled with demonic energy.

Bang!

A tremendous sound rang out, and something fell from the sky, raising dust and causing warhorses to stir.

Wen Li gripped the reins tightly, the veil in front of her was blown open, and her pupils involuntarily contracted.

Countless heads were falling before my eyes!

The ground was stained with blood, and blood was still flowing from his neck!

Was it just killed?

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Hahaha……"

"Look how scared they are!"

"Interesting, it's been a long time since I've seen so many people!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The laughter of the demons rose from all sides, yet they could not be seen. The horses moved restlessly.

Anxiety and panic began to take hold of people's minds, but the current situation simply did not give them time to think about it.

"Charge in! Giddy up!"

As planned, Shen Yingsi, Xie Xiao, Wen Li, Wen Mingzhu, and Zhao Sicheng each led a group of men to various parts of Yueban City.

After entering the city, they led their men to occupy high positions according to the five elements, surrounded the crescent moon, and then began to activate the formation.

"Prepare for battle! Charge!"

The horses trampled over people's heads and instinctively ran forward.

Wen Li gripped the reins tightly and kept moving forward. Before long, the Five Elements Army had dispersed. Before they even reached their destination, demons began to emerge from all around them.

Wen Li drew her long sword and was about to rush out when her hand was held down by the female general beside her.

"Miss Wen, step back!"

Then the female general shouted, "Protect Miss Wen!"

They surrounded Wenli and drew their swords to begin killing the demon.

"If you dare to enter the Moon's Half, none of you will leave alive!"

The sudden intrusion of people did not frighten the demons of Moonlit City; instead, they were quite excited.

The monsters roared and gathered in ever-growing numbers, while Wen Li and her companions proceeded cautiously, barely able to move an inch.

Wen Li was surrounded so tightly that she couldn't see what was happening outside, but the screams around her grew louder and louder, and the horses slowed down more and more.

They're being far too cautious! At this rate, everyone else will be dead before they even reach their destination, let alone activate the formation.

No, this is a waste of time; we need to break out of here quickly.

Wen Li removed the hand of the person next to her, gripped her broadsword, leaped off her horse, and dealt with the demon in front of her.

"Don't let them trap us here! Fight our way out! Don't let them surround us!"

Wen Li ran in the lead, and the soldiers quickly followed her, fighting their way forward through the streets with all their might.

Riding on horseback and gripping their swords, they charged forward with unstoppable force.

"what!"

"Help!"

"help me!"

People were being dragged away by the monsters, but no one dared to look back; their eyes remained fixed straight ahead.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Not only could they hear the cries of their companions and the sounds of demons tearing and laughing, but there were also many demons sitting and watching the show in the houses and on the rooftops of Half Moon City.

A soldier who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old was pulled off his horse by a demon and cried for help. The female general who had just stopped Wen Li couldn't help but turn around and look.

Wen Li turned her head and said, "Look ahead, or you might be next."

The female general swallowed hard and rode even faster.

"Hurry! Soldiers, we need to be faster."

Bang!

Bang!

Looking up at the sky, the clouds were too thick, but a signal could still be vaguely seen, so it seemed that Wen Mingzhu and Zhao Sicheng had arrived.

Demons lurked in all directions. Wen Li looked ahead and noticed that pits of varying sizes had appeared in front of her.

As Wen Li crossed the large pit, she couldn't help but look down, and what she saw were rows of sleeping skeletons.

Is this the little ghost raised by the Ghost King?

"Miss Wen!"

Just as they were passing the full moon, Wen Li heard the female general beside her shout, and was pulled off her horse, landing at the foot of the city wall.

Wenli's location is the furthest from the city gate, and also the most convenient for escaping.

When she arrived, everyone else was already in place.

Upon reaching the city wall, they quickly set up a barrier, and then the men of the Ninth Battalion used shields to surround it.

Wen Li was surrounded inside, her back against the wall. Looking ahead, she realized that of the original two thousand people, only half remained.

The female general beside her cast a spell into the sky, and fireworks burst forth.

"Miss Wen, the formation can be activated!"

The demons below looked up at them and laughed, then began to fly and attack them.

"Ten battalions have set up a protective barrier, and nine battalions are ready to kill the enemy at any time!"

Seeing that the female general remained calm in the face of danger, Wen Li sat down cross-legged with peace of mind. She cut her finger, wrote a talisman in the air, and then the blood talisman flew over and stuck to the city wall.

Then she took out paper money, incense burner, and candles from her spatial storage, arranged them neatly, lit the candles and inserted them, and the paper money began to burn one by one in a row.

Wen Li drew a circle with her blood on the spot, then sat cross-legged and began to silently recite the Soul Inheritance Incantation, with spiritual energy constantly flying from her hands and flowing towards the blood talisman.

From this moment on, she could no longer move; her spiritual power was an offering to this formation.

Si Xiaxia swallowed carefully, afraid that she might affect her host.

Then, she turned her gaze to the Northern Desert Iron Cavalry fighting on the side.

In the book, they don't receive much attention; to the reader, they are merely a group of nameless passersby, fictional characters.

But in Si Xiaxia's eyes at this moment, they were vivid, lively, real, a group of flesh-and-blood, living people!

They surrounded Wenli in layers, building a protective barrier with their bodies and shields.

The demons outside were also densely packed. They seemed to have not seen so many people in a long time, and they looked at them as if it were a lively scene, and attacked them.

Those inside the barrier were on high alert, while the enemies outside seemed to be toying with them.

There are even many demons in the city who live normal lives and have nothing to do with it.

To them, this was nothing more than a provocation by the human race that overestimated its own strength, and nothing to fear.

Once a barrier is broken, the people of the Ninth Camp will wield their swords and kill the demon.

Those who rushed out basically never came back, but they could disrupt the demon horde, buy time, and some could even push the gathered demons back ten meters.

Several soldiers kicked the demon out, gripped their swords, and roared as they slaughtered it.

They worked in pairs, their armor coated with poison designed to kill demons. One side would swallow blood mixed with life-saving pills, while the other side would be knocked to the ground.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……"

"Aaaaaaahhhhh...I'm going to kill you all!"

After crying and yelling, the hand holding the sword was cut off in the next second. The fairy picked the person up, cut off his limbs, and watched him writhe on the ground.

Then he kept laughing.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Wow! Well done!"

"These guys are just throwing their lives away. They don't even know how to run away. It's ridiculous."

"You don't know anything. The humans are just pretending. They're not deserters."

"What are they doing, huddled together like this? It's ridiculous!"

"The devil knows..."

Cold sweat began to bead on Wen Li's forehead. She dared not open her eyes, yet she was aware of her surroundings.

Bang!

The explosion was caused by a soldier igniting the gunpowder on his body.

This should have driven away many demons, but it's far from enough.

Wailing, laughter, sobbing—all sorts of sounds mingled in Wen Li's ears.

She went through the shielding process; this formation takes a long time, and it's unknown how long she can hold out.

"Waaaaaah... Mother, Mother... Your son is scared... Your son doesn't want to join the army anymore... Waaaaah... Your son is scared..."

"Look at that old man inside, crying like that, he's even worse than those without spiritual power."

"Hahahaha... What a bunch of cowards!"

The sounds around me were constant, a mix of monster and human voices.

Wen Li couldn't help but open her eyes and curse, "Why the hell does this broken formation take so long!"

She desperately wanted to go out and fight them right away, even if it meant being badly injured and dying a gruesome death, rather than watching others die for her.

Moreover, those monsters didn't just slit someone's throat; they were committing torture!

She looked at the burly man next to her, who appeared to be at least in his forties.

This man had been trembling ever since Wen Li first saw him, and now he was crying his eyes out.

It wasn't just him; as more and more people died, everyone felt a sense of fear and unease.

Can they hold out until tomorrow morning?

When the elder brother saw Wen Li looking at him, he said in a tearful voice, "Miss Wen, don't be afraid, we will protect you."

Wen Li yelled at him, "Swear it out, don't cry! Can't you see your enemy is laughing? You coward, how scared are you? Just yell at your mother louder!"

"what?"

The older brother was sweating profusely and somewhat puzzled.

The spiritual energy in Wen Li's hands kept flowing out, and her body gradually weakened. Her eyes were very cold, and the corners of her mouth were a little pale, but her voice was very powerful.

"Laugh! Laugh more! It's the anniversary of Xi Yu's death! Let's celebrate this old ghost's death for hundreds of years!"

"Should that ugly toad spirit flying up there wear a drool bib? And is that pig-headed creature in front of it eating shit?"

Hearing Wen Li's cursing, the soldiers also started cursing.

"Damn monsters, you all deserve to die!"

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! You dare break my barrier? Get lost!"

"Laugh! Laugh! Want to drink this great general's urine?"

"Aaaaaah...you bunch of damned..."

"Hold on, we can survive until tomorrow!"

"We must survive until tomorrow, and then escape!"

As they continued hurling insults, they seemed to forget their fear, their curses growing more vicious and their fights more brutal, as if anger had taken over their hearts.
