Chapter 525: Chapter 521 No Troop Reinforcements Chapter 525: Chapter 521 No Troop Reinforcements After seeing off White Star, Shen Luo continued to operate the Technique of Taming Beasts and Summoning Spirits. The water hole suddenly swelled to several times its size, then a faintly red demon qi gushed out of it.
With a “splash” sound!
A giant figure leaped out from within. After shaking off the water splashes on his body, a Mighty Shrimp Soldier revealed himself. He was over a dozen feet tall, clad in dark red scale armor. His two red and white feelers were extremely thick. In his hands, he wielded two axes the size of millstones.
This demon was a Soul Condensation stage shrimp soldier that he had recently subdued. He was surrounded by a powerful demon qi, indicating that his cultivation level was already in the Soul Condensation Later Stage.
“Daoist Brother Er Zhuang, I must trouble you this time to assist me,” said Shen Luo.
Before the Mighty Shrimp Soldier could respond, countless zombies were already swarming towards them, bringing a gust of rancid wind with them.
Shen Luo was about to take out his green short axe and attack when Er Zhuang, the shrimp soldier beside him, had already rushed forward. He swung the large axe in his hand and slashed through the void.
“Buzz”, “buzz”! Two sharp noises echoed as two axe shadows the size of a door panel burst forth from the void, shooting a distance of tens of feet before dissipating.
Every Zombie in the path of the axe shadows was split in half.
The shrimp soldier's axe swings continued, sending out waves of axe shadows that filled the entire street.
All the zombies were cut in half, scattering like autumn leaves. He held the zombies at bay single-handedly in that street.
Shen Luo, upon seeing this scene, had a satisfied look in his eyes.
It appeared that this Shrimp Soldier, Er Zhuang, was even stronger than he had anticipated. Leaving this area to him should not be a problem.
He soared into the air, rushing towards another street not far away that was not guarded by cultivators. This area was also being invaded by a large number of zombies.
Shen Luo hovered mid-air and with a wave of his hand, he made a slashing move with his green short axe in the void. A dozen thick green thunderbolts burst forward, each penetrating through a dozen zombies.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The bodies of these zombies all burst open, turning into a rain of blood that filled the sky.
At the same time, he formed a hand seal and pointed. The Pure Yang Sword Embryo shot out from his sleeve, transforming into a sword rainbow tens of feet long, slashing into the group of zombies in another nearby street.
With a constant “plop” sound, wherever the sword rainbow passed, a large number of zombies were cut in half.
While Shen Luo was managing to hold his own, Zhou Meng, Zhao TingSheng, and others were starting to struggle. Faced with the aggressive onslaught of the zombie tide, their lines were being breached, and their defenses quickly fell apart.
Luckily, every time a black zombie appeared in the zombie army, the Ghost General that Shen Luo summoned would promptly attack, slaying the zombie for them. Otherwise, some of them would have already fallen.
After Zhou Meng and others retreated, Shen Luo and the shrimp soldier were not able hold back the enemies alone anymore, as they risked being flanked. So they also retreated, and when the cultivators retreated, the ground troops couldn't hold back anymore and started to retreat as well.
In a matter of moments, nearly half of the Guang De district was occupied by these zombie forces.
“Why hasn't the government sent reinforcements? If this continues, the entire Guang De district will be lost!” Shen Luo thought anxiously, while furiously working his green short axe and Pure Yang Sword Embryo.
Thunder and sword qi shot down, landing amidst the zombie army, causing gusts of bloody rain. But they were unable to stop the advancement of the zombie army.
“Swoosh!” Suddenly, a silver figure jumped from behind a nearby wall, nimble as a spirit cat. They took advantage of the moment Shen Luo was attacking the zombie army below, and got behind him aiming a clawed hand at his back.
Shen Luo was slightly shocked. He turned to the side, dodging the claw attack from the silver figure. He then counterattacked with the green short axe in his hand.
However, the silver figure was exceptionally swift, dodging quickly to the side, narrowly avoiding the strike of the green short axe.
But at that moment, a red sword shadow fell from the sky, circling rapidly around the silver figure.
With a “tearing” sound, the silver figure was bisected at the waist, falling to the ground as a silver zombie about the size of an ordinary person.
The entity had silver scales all over its body, its size might be small, but it seemed even more robust than those yellow or black zombies.
“There are even silver zombies in the zombie army, their strength almost matches monks in the late Grain Avoidance stage.” Shen Luo was secretly shocked.
Being entangled with the silver zombie for a few breaths, the zombie army below had advanced once again.
Shen Luo frowned, ready to repel these zombies.
Whiz whiz whiz!
Countless arrow-like green lights rained from the sky, densely packed lighting up half of the sky, and rained into the zombie army like a downpour.
Countless sounds of raindrops on banana leaves rang out, and the zombie army in the nearby seven or eight alleyways was blasted away, leaving a large open space.
Although there were many green lights, their aim was extremely accurate, only attacking the areas within the streets and alleys while the nearby houses remained untouched.
Shen Luo looked up in surprise to see a frosty-faced, beautiful woman in a green robe suddenly appearing in mid-air, holding a small green banner in hand, it was the Qinghua Fairy from Mount Putuo whom he had met twice before.
The Qinghua Fairy glanced at Shen Luo, her figure then transformed into a green rainbow, heading towards other areas. Wherever she flew, there would be a rain of green arrows, causing all the zombies in those areas to be blasted away.
Behind Qinghua Fairy, several bright escape lights were flying in, finally, the reinforcements had arrived.
Seeing this scene, Shen Luo's taut nerves relaxed. Sёarᴄh the NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Two figures descended from the sky and landed near him. They were two Taoist priests in green robes, one a young man in the late Grain Avoidance stage, the other an old man in the Soul Condensation stage.
The two were taken aback by the sight of the shrimp soldier and showed a hint of hostility.
“As it turns out, these are the Daoist friends from the Purple Heaven View. This shrimp soldier is my spirit beast. I don't need reinforcements here. Could you two Daoist friends please assist others?” Shen Luo recognized their attire and raised his voice to speak.
Upon hearing this, the old man in the green robe nodded his head, pulling the young man in the green robe to fly off to other areas.
With the arrival of these reinforcements, the raging zombie army was finally stopped.
The battle had continued all night until the very first ray of the morning sun rose from the east, at which the zombie army retreated as if they had received some signal.
At this time, Shen Luo was already pale, with only a tenth of his original mana left. Having relaxed slightly, he quickly took out an elixir and swallowed it.
Both shrimp soldiers who had been fighting the zombies in close-quarters were also covered in numerous wounds. However, they seemed to be in a much better state than Shen Luo, their Soul Condensation later stage cultivation level, in terms of their dense demon power, were far superior to Shen Luo.
“The enemy has retreated, Brother Er Zhuang you have worked hard this time. I owe you one.” Shen Luo said.
“No trouble, send me back to the Eastern Sea. I'm not used to the air on the land.” The shrimp soldier said abruptly.
Shen Luo nodded, and after opening the Spirit Communicating Water Hole to send Er Zhuang away, his eyes continued to scan the surroundings.
Although the zombies appeared to have retreated, he didn't dare to drop his guard. As he was refining the elixir using his cultivation technique, he stayed vigilant to possible attacks from other ghosts.
