Chapter 98: The Great Sleeping Curse
The opponent's 10,000 troops were about to be wiped out, but in the blink of an eye, another tens of thousands of troops came out from the other side, this made Wu Qingshan and others feel like rolling down from a bumpy mountain.
Yan Wuji said that both sides could lead ten thousand troops to participate in the war, but how come he was so shameless?
What was even more exaggerated was that among the tens of thousands of troops that suddenly emerged, there were still many cavalries, riding tall horses and holding swords and spears, which looked very difficult to deal with.
Behind the cavalry were archers, and all of those archers were dressed in battle armor. Except for the eyes, their whole bodies were wrapped tightly. Obviously, it was not that easy to deal with.
"Yan Wuji, is this what you said to lead ten thousand troops to fight?" Yan Ran said angrily.
Yan Wuji laughed, "Niece Yan Ran, you are still too naive. Since it is a life-and-death battle, naturally, you have to do whatever you can, otherwise, how do you think I got this Yan Kingdom?"
"Despicable! You are so despicable and shameless!" Yan Ran's face was very ugly.
Yan Wuji didn't care, he raised his hand and ordered, "Cavalry, charge!"
All the cavalries came out, and under the leadership of a general, they launched a charge towards Wu Qingshan and others.
"Rumble…"
The sound of horseshoes was deafening as if using a thousand giant feet to trample the ground.
When tens of thousands of cavalry charged, the scene was not ordinary spectacular, like a rolling wave sweeping over, and Wu Qingshan and other warriors were just like a flatboat, which would be overturned at any time.
All the warriors swallowed, subconsciously wanting to shrink back, but after experiencing some thought struggles, they finally chose to stay in place, waiting to meet the impact of the opposing cavalries.
Yan Wuji's subordinates, among the 10,000 troops who were originally on the bright side were still fighting with Wu Qingshan and others. However, soon, a torrent of steel charged from behind, and in the blink of an eye, they were overwhelmed.
Those cavalries wielded swords, slashing frantically, not only slashing at Wu Qingshan and the others but also the soldiers under Yan Wuji's were slashed by them.
The Heavenly Spirit Battle Formation formed by Wu Qingshan and others was instantly shattered. If it weren't for those Spirit Vessel Realm cultivators, they would be killed by the opponent after an impact.
The hundreds of soldiers on Yan Wuji's side were even more miserable. They abruptly endured the impact from the cavalries behind them. In the blink of an eye, they were beaten to death by the cavalries. They were ruthlessly beheaded by the cavalries, and they fell to the ground screaming. No one survived.
After a collision, Wu Qingshan and the others looked very embarrassed, but fortunately, no one was beheaded, but the battle formation was torn apart and could not continue.
Before they could regroup, the cavalry who rushed past turned around and rushed over.
If the number of cavalries was less, or the number of warriors that Mo Xiu brought is a little bit more, they could compete, but there were too many enemies, hence, Wu Qingshan and others couldn't resist it.
Seeing another torrent of steel roaring in, Wu Qingshan could only shout, "Set up again! Hurry!"
In order to survive, a group of warriors naturally set up their formation at a rapid speed, but the cavalry was faster, like a sharp blade inserted into the battle formation, and the battle formation was torn apart in the blink of an eye.
This time, none of Wu Qingshan and other warriors died, but many people had already begun to get injured.
On the other hand, the cavalry under Yan Wuji, except for a few were cut off from their horses, most of them were intact.
If they were to follow this posture and collide back and forth several times, there was a possibility that Wu Qingshan and other warriors would start to be beheaded.
This was just the cavalry dispatched. The archers who were wrapped in armor still stood still, not to mention that Yan Wuji had not used many methods.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yan Ran quickly looked at Mo Xiu and asked, "What should we do? Are we about to lose?"
"I said, I don't need to rely on these people to turn things around," Mo Xiu still looked calm and calm.
"Huh?" Yan Ran frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Mo Xiu waited for a while, seeing that Wu Qingshan and the others were about to be unable to support it, he dragged Yan Ran to fly with him.
Yan Ran's head was full of questions, "Are we...?"
Mo Xiu didn't answer but took Yan Ran to the sky and stood in the sky, looking at the people below.
Yan Wuji couldn't fly into the sky easily like Mo Xiu. He didn't know Mo Xiu's intentions, and he even doubted whether Mo Xiu wanted to escape depending on the situation.
After finally setting a trap and waiting for Mo Xiu to come, he naturally couldn't let Mo Xiu escape, so he glanced at where the archer was and gave another order, "Archer, shoot!"
A group of archers pulled their bowstrings before releasing them, and both Mo Xiu and Yan Ran saw a sea of arrows coming over with a burst of sound.
With a wave of his hand, Mo Xiu used the Heaven Reversing Secret Art. All the arrows that were shot at him stopped in the air for a while, then changed directions, and flew back towards the archers below.
Different from the one in the palace, these archers were wearing extremely hard armor, and arrows could not be easily pierced at all, but the impact force was not small after all, many archers retreated two or three steps.
"This can't you stop him?" Yan Wuji whispered secretly.
Soon, he took out a bell and shook it a few times. After the bell rang, a dull roar rang from the forest in the distance.
Soon, a lion-like beast rushed out, rushed to Yan Wuji, and bent down.
Yan Wuji leaped up, driving the lion-like beast into the sky, and flew in the direction of Mo Xiu and Yan Ran.
This beast looked like a lion, but it was not an ordinary lion. It couldn't be considered a beast. It was not even a docile spirit beast but a demon beast named Cloud Repelling Lion.
All monster beasts were fierce beasts, and it was reasonable to say that they could not be tamed by humans, but Yan Wuji was able to tame it and made this Cloud Repelling Lion his mount. With that, he rode on Cloud Repelling Lion and flew to the sky, and intercepted Mo Xiu.
Naturally, Mo Xiu didn't intend to escape. Seeing Yan Wuji rushing over with the Cloud Repelling Lion, he flew out to the side and avoided easily.
The goal failed, Yan Wuji stayed in mid-air with the Cloud Repelling Lion, looked at the two people Mo Xiu and Yan Ran not far away, and said, "Mo Xiu, you are a courageous rat, but you dare not confronting me?"
Mo Xiu was too lazy to respond, his Divine Consciousness that had originally enveloped the entire Butchering Peak Hunting Grounds suddenly shrank, only covering the battlefield below.
Immediately, his mouth murmured, chanting some very slurred mantras, but to be precise, a spell.
A weird force rippled like water waves, affecting the entire battlefield below.
"Boom, boom..."
A sound of falling to the ground sounded.
First, under Mo Xiu and Yan Ran, the closest archers fell to the ground one after another.
Then came the cavalrymen who were charging Wu Qingshan and others. They tilted and fell from their horses. Even the horses slowed down as if they were asleep and then fell to the ground.
In the end, Wu Qingshan and others fell to the ground one after another when their bodies crooked.
In the blink of an eye, there was no one standing on the battlefield below. The sound of killing, screaming, and the sound of horseshoes stopped all at once as if it had become a place of death.
In midair, Yan Wuji also seemed to be affected, his eyes drooping, and he almost fell off the back of the lion.
However, his soul was much stronger than the average Spirit Vessel Realm cultivator. At the critical moment, he took out a silver needle and pierced it fiercely in his thigh, and he woke up instantly.
On the contrary, the Cloud Repelling Lion remained unaffected, still staying in the air, without any abnormal behavior.
Yan Ran was also unaffected because she was staying next to Mo Xiu at the moment.
When such a scene suddenly happened, Yan Ran was shocked, and Yan Wuji was also shocked.
"You... what did you do?" Yan Wuji couldn't help asking.
Mo Xiu stopped casting the spell and said blankly, "Let them sleep."
Even Wu Qingshan and others fell to the ground. Naturally, the method Mo Xiu showed was not intended to kill people.
This was just a kind of spell, called the Great Sleeping Curse, and it had the same origin as the Great Rebirth Curse that Mo Xiu used to deal with Mu Yannian, the master of Mountain and Rover Medical Center.
However, the effect of the Great Rebirth Curse was to send people to reincarnation and could only be activated on one person at a time, while the effect of the Great Sleeping Curse was to make people fall asleep, and could be activated on countless people at a time.
As for how long they would sleep, it depended on the strength of the Divine Consciousness of the caster on the one hand and the soul strength of the person who was subjected to the spell on the other.
It was not impossible to want to be awakened artificially, but unless someone who was proficient in various spells like Mo Xiu, or a person as powerful as Mo Xiu, then don't ever want to succeed easily.
Naturally, Yan Wuji didn't know these so-called spells, let alone what the Great Sleeping Curse was about, but it was precisely because he knew nothing that he felt extremely shocked.
Even this kind of thing could be done too? What an out-of-the-world means!
Although Yan Wuji was often touted by all kinds of things, he thought he couldn't do this kind of thing anyway.
After experiencing the initial shock, he was even more determined in his heart: No matter how to get rid of Mo Xiu, otherwise he might not be able to dream of peace in the future.
At this time, as Mo Xiu's gaze fell on Yan Wuji, the Abyss Demon Sword appeared in his hand silently.
Yan Wuji also took out a sword, looked at Mo Xiu, and slowly said, "Sure enough, it will eventually evolve into a battle between you and me."
After a pause, he said, "You are very strong, but this Butchering Peak Hunting Grounds is my territory after all. After all, this Yan Kingdom is my world. Against me as your opponent, I don't mind letting you know how to die without a place to be buried!"
