King-level dragons are also powerful in close combat. A single giant beast was instantly killed by a dragon's swipe.
Then, a dragon swept its massive tail, sending another giant beast flying and destroying a massive building.
Several dragons brutally pinned the giant beasts to the ground, grinding them. These giant beasts were not on the same level as the dragons.
If the enemy hadn't insisted on summoning these giant beasts, the generals wouldn't have wanted to summon these dragons. But since the enemy wanted to bully them for lacking huge giant beast helpers, they would let them see the might of their own dragons.
The lord of [Mystic Shadow City] turned pale upon seeing these dragons and exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible? These are pure-blooded dragons! These are from the Dragon race!"
"Who are these people? How can they have pure-blooded dragons as pets? How did they achieve this?"
"These enemies are too powerful! Our giant beasts are no match for those dragons at all."
The lord of [Mystic Shadow City]'s expression shifted rapidly. He had never expected the other party to be so strong, not only possessing so many powerful generals but also such formidable troops.
They even had dragons.
"Are the combat airships ready? Quickly dispatch them all and destroy these enemies!" the lord of [Mystic Shadow City] roared in fury.
After being in the Myriad Realms Lord world for a century, he never expected to encounter such a powerful lord. The enemy was unimaginably strong, and they were getting closer and closer to his inner city. He absolutely could not let the enemy reach here.
"Lord, dozens of combat airships have already departed!" a general reported.
"Release the ten thousand spirit soldiers from the territory! It's time to show those terrifying creatures to the enemy!" the lord of [Mystic Shadow City] thundered.
"But they kill our own soldiers too! They're indiscriminate. Is this really okay?" an official asked.
"At this point, why are you still worrying about so much?" the lord of [Mystic Shadow City] snarled.
"Yes, sir!"
The territory of [Mystic Shadow City] was indeed difficult to deal with. Even generals like Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao encountered formidable opponents. Their current realm was only at the sixtieth heaven, but they faced enemies at the ninetieth heaven.
The enemy territory had many powerhouses above the seventieth heaven, and these formidable enemies inflicted considerable casualties on the soldiers.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yan dispatched more generals from his territory, which was just enough to hold back the enemy's strongest fighters.
Even An Tian and Liuli joined the fray. Their strength was truly immense; they could now contend with two demigod powerhouses.
The territory had greatly improved their abilities. Coupled with their inherent strength as dragons, their combat power had multiplied several times, making them formidable indeed.
However, Zhou Yan still summoned Zhu Yan to fight one of the enemy demigods, while Liuli and An Tian teamed up to deal with the other.
The enemy only had three demigod powerhouses. One was eliminated by the defense towers, and the remaining two were here.
A territory with demigod powerhouses was no small matter. Sun Wu and Yue Fei encountered many of the enemy's powerful trump cards.
The enemy employed various bizarre tactics, even fielding an army specifically armed with scrolls. After unleashing their scrolls, they inflicted significant damage on the soldiers.
This [Mystic Shadow City] territory was the first external enemy Zhou Yan had encountered, and the first true enemy. All previous foes had been too weak.
The lord of [Mystic Shadow City]'s soldiers were not only numerous but also possessed a wide array of troop types and peculiar abilities that constantly emerged.
They also had many strong individuals, even demigod powerhouses, making them truly formidable.
Such enemies and such a place were exactly what Zhou Yan had longed for.
Enemies that were too weak could not achieve the goal of growth. Only in places like this could his subordinate soldiers continuously improve.
It would let them know that they were not invincible and would also allow them to witness the diverse methods of lords from different worlds.
The lord of this Xuanming Realm had provided him with many novel tactics that Zhou Yan had never seen before.
Zhou Yan summoned the White Tiger, rode upon it, and observed the battle below. He then saw tens of thousands of enemies enveloped in dark energy.
"What is this army?" Zhou Yan asked curiously, watching the tens of thousands of enemies below. He saw that they even attacked their own kind.
"It seems to be another peculiar troop type, and it's indiscriminate. Its strength is indeed not weak, and it looks very difficult to deal with," Zhou Yan mused. He suddenly thought, "I wonder if they are more powerful, or if the [Underworld Ghost Soldiers] are."
Zhou Yan could tell that these ten thousand enemies were also ghost soldiers, but they lacked reason and were extremely ferocious. They should be considered a type of vengeful spirit soldier.
Zhou Yan said to King Qinguang, "I have a task for you. Take your soldiers and deal with a group of ghost soldiers."
"Yes!" King Qinguang's eyes lit up. Dealing with ghost soldiers was their forte.
Thus, King Qinguang summoned Ox-Head, Horse-Face, and Black and White Impermanence. He then gathered tens of thousands of ghost soldiers and marched towards the spirit soldiers.
Upon seeing these spirit soldiers, King Qinguang clearly felt the evil, brutal, and bloodthirsty aura emanating from them.
"This is the first enemy of our kind that we've encountered. You cannot disgrace us, or I won't be able to hold my head up in front of the Lord," King Qinguang declared.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We will definitely not shame you."
"With Judge here, we'll annihilate them directly."
"I'll send these vengeful spirits to the eighteen levels of hell to taste suffering."
If they were fighting other types of troops, King Qinguang and his subordinates might not be their match. However, when it came to ghost soldiers, King Qinguang and his subordinates were absolutely fearless.
The ten thousand spirit soldiers attacked towards King Qinguang and his group.
But as soon as the spirit soldiers attacked, they realized their abilities were like a child compared to an adult when facing their opponents.
Black Impermanence hooked souls, and White Impermanence claimed lives. The two took out a chain and directly bound a spirit soldier. No matter how it struggled, it could not escape the iron chain's restraint.
This was a chain specifically designed for souls, their innate magical treasure. Once bound, escaping would not be easy.
Judge's single stroke of judgment directly landed on a spirit soldier's head. A judge judges the dead; these spirit soldiers were immediately judged dead, and their souls scattered.
All ten thousand spirit soldiers were perfectly countered. Although the ghost soldiers also suffered some casualties, compared to the spirit soldiers, these losses were disproportionate.
If these spirit soldiers had faced others, they might have caused significant casualties. Unfortunately, they encountered professional ghost soldiers. Who were King Qinguang and his subordinates? They were prominent figures in charge of ghosts in the underworld, with subordinates specialized in dealing with ghosts. These spirit soldiers fighting them were simply asking for trouble.
