Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Chapter 425 - 21: Results of Psychological Warfare, Assault on the Mountain!

The sun blazed high in the sky.

Because they had shifted their rest periods, aside from those heading to the logistics line to check the situation,

most of the Vanguard Army were sleeping soundly, or rather, were in a state of cultivation.

After all, once night fell, they had to set up camp and remain constantly vigilant, which was quite exhausting for them mentally.

A moment later.

"Boom——!"

The massive roar resounded again, and some of the soldiers, already weary and resting, grumbled while turning over: "Are these Jiu Li tribe people annoying or what?"

"Always blasting away every day."

In the camp, Chi Songzi opened his eyes and even extended his Spiritual Sense to check the situation outside the camp, finding nothing but emptiness.

The sentinels at the foot of the mountain also gave no signal before he closed his eyes again.

These guys!

Are they really out of options now, resorting to such harassment?

Besides, in broad daylight, how could they possibly attack?

Chi Songzi had never thought of constantly spreading his Spiritual Sense to be on guard; it was a significant drain on a cultivator’s energy.

Especially over such a large area, if a battle were to erupt, it might mean that point of exhaustion could prevent him from performing at his best.

At that moment, at the foot of the Mufu Mountain Range.

Figures resembling crows were shuttling through the forest, two in a group, carrying huge artillery platforms.

At the forefront, Zhe Lu’s bird-like eyes flickered with excitement.

If they could capture the Mufu Mountain Range, there would be no obstacles for the Jiu Li tribe over a long stretch of road afterward.

By then, they could either defend the mountain or attack Jiuzhou!

Finally.

Each sentinel was even resting against stones, and they didn’t notice even when Zhe Lu had already approached them.

With a bird call, all these sentinels died.

Killed in their sleep.

With the speed of Zhe Lu, a Ninth Rank Witch, not even a Tier Ten could catch up with him. In an instant, he wiped out the sentinels who were still awake around him.

"Commander, it’s done."

"Set up the cannons, provide cover!"

The Empress’s cold voice rang out, as figures in the camp charged toward the Mufu Mountain Range.

In light armor, their speed was extremely fast.

Meanwhile.

Zhe Lu and others, who were already deep within the mountain range, began setting up the artillery platforms.

"Open fire!"

The next moment.

Countless beams of light roared down like torrential rain toward the newly cleared space of the Lie Mountain Camp.

"Boom——!"

"Boom——!"

...

The continuous booming sound rang again, and the soldiers grumbled impatiently: "Will this ever end?"

"Can we not even sleep during the day now?"

"Ignore it, it’ll quiet down later!"

"So tired of this!"

In the camp, Chi Songzi felt the influx of auras, his eyes snapped open, and he shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

His voice spread throughout the camp, but it remained quiet.

Only some more sensitive individuals found the shouting somewhat familiar.

"That’s the voice of the Commander."

In one of the tents, someone stood up, their voice a bit hesitant.

"Is there a magic signal?"

The big man lying next to him turned over, someone else looked upwards through an opening in the large tent.

"There isn’t."

Even if it was the Commander’s voice, there was no magic signal!

"Then it’s nothing. Go back to sleep."

Chi Songzi exited the camp and walked into the sky, finding only scattered individuals emerged from the camp.

In the distance, countless pale red rays of light were falling directly towards them.

"Wind and Rain——!"

Chi Songzi gritted his teeth. These guys really had come to assault the mountain.

If this were earlier.

With Gonggong and him guarding, and numerous soldiers stationed, even if Jiu Li wanted to take this place, they would suffer heavy casualties and might not even win.

After all, occupying the mountain, having the high ground, as long as they defended well, was like a natural fortress.

But now, they hadn’t even prepared their defensive forces.

He had to buy time.

With his command, countless clouds instantly filled the once clear sky, countless winds howled, and a torrential downpour ensued.

The wind like blades, the rain like spears.

The majesty of wind and rain merging together, aimed to intercept these artillery fires.

If the artillery fire hit the camp, the entire camp would be destroyed in moments.

But in an instant.

A calm voice was heard, "Chaos Without Limit!"

Chaotic Qi bloomed in the sky, forming a massive pouch, opening wide to envelop the wind blades and rain spears, rapidly consuming both.

The Chaotic Qi swallowed the wind blades and rain spears like gastric juices, seemingly endlessly accommodating them.

"Immortal Technique..."

Chi Songzi saw the woman walking across the void in the distance, unable to discern her Dao Lineage.

Even the Immortal Techniques, he couldn’t see through their basis.

But Chi Songzi had no time to ponder these matters, he could only continue casting spells.

In an instant.

Two giant pythons swept across the sky toward Chi Songzi. If directly struck.

He feared he would be pulverized. His studied Daoist Technique, while surpassing Gonggong in manipulating the majesty of heaven and earth,

It didn’t include common combat Immortal Techniques like Heaven and Earth Transformation.

He was forced to control the wind and rain to obstruct, the pythons danced wildly in the storm, using their scales to withstand the wind and rain capable of piercing mountains.

Meanwhile, the people following closely engaged to intercept the Ninth Rank, Tier Eight, and other cultivators at Lie Mountain Camp.

As the artillery fire like rain fell upon the camp.

The next second.

A series of explosions erupted violently.

Bang!

Bang Bang!!

Bang Bang Bang!!!

The piercing explosions swept through the entire Lie Mountain Camp like thunder from the Nine Heavens, the massive blasts and roars spreading like a tsunami.

Some soldiers, upon hearing the sounds of battle, finally emerged, only to see a red glow falling directly on them.

Lie Mountain Camp exploded!

Some soldiers still in dreamlike slumber and cultivators in cultivation were abruptly woken by countless explosions.

Then there was an onslaught of fiery fire, the flames reaching the sky, and thick smoke billowing.

Some hadn’t even managed to escape before being engulfed by the sea of fire, the flames from that artillery were powered by Exotic Beasts.

The flames weren’t ordinary and not so easily extinguished.

And this wasn’t the first wave, in an instant, more artillery fire was already firing upon the camp.

"Damn it!"

Chi Songzi saw the camp that had turned into a sea of fire, his mind flicking through thoughts.

They fell into a trap within a trap.

Intentionally luring Gonggong and part of their forces away, coupled with previous feigned attacks,

Making them believe an attack wouldn’t happen in daylight, only to strike unexpectedly now.

This should have been the most well-defended time, yet shifting their rest times led to this predicament.

Chi Songzi thought of the consequences if the Jiu Li tribe crossed Mufu Mountain Range, his eyes bloodshot, growling lowly: "Jiu Li, you deserve to die!!"

Finished.

Countless wind and rain burst forth from the sky, transforming into terrifying wind and rain majesty, crashing around.

Enveloping Can Gang and the Empress.
