Chapter 143 - 142: In Dire Straits_1
Atop the walls of Tianfeng City, Azure Dragon soldiers stood in solemn readiness, archers with arrows nocked, prepared to unleash a fatal volley upon the enemy at a single command. None were afraid; none retreated!
"Form up!" Zhao Yun commanded, his presence steady as a mountain.
As his words fell, beams of azure light shot towards the highest heavens, their glow suffusing the entire city with a different color. Above the clouds, the Void shattered, revealing a chasm of immense depth. Coiling within it, an Azure Dragon watched with eyes wide in fury. Empowered by the army spirit, the strength of the soldiers surged, their bodies exuding waves of menacing Evil Qi.
"Fire!" Zhao Yun’s eyes glowed with murderous intent as he roared.
SWOOSH!
Volleys of arrows pierced Changkong. Like a dark cloud, they blotted out the sky, tracing graceful arcs before landing upon the invading alien troops outside the city.
"Form the Ten Thousand Scorpion Formation, defend!" Faced with the torrential volley, Scorpion Thorn, full of disdain, gave a commanding order.
As an ancient race, the Sand Scorpion Clan possessed a profound heritage, with all manner of cultivation techniques, martial skills, formations, and alchemical arts at their disposal. The charging Sand Scorpion Clan soldiers began to form up. A yellow light erupted towards the heavens, coalescing above them into a tornado of swirling yellow sand that swept across the sky, an unstoppable torrent. Within the storm, the shadow of a gigantic scorpion could be vaguely seen. It was ten thousand feet long, with eight claws and a pair of waving pincers that seemed mighty enough to sweep away mountains, creating a tremendous pressure. With their army spirit gathered, the Sand Scorpion Clan soldiers’ strength had increased significantly. In front of them, shields brimming with mysterious runes materialized.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Arrows fell, clashing against the shields, producing shrill noises and sending sparks flying; all of them were repelled. The defensive power of the shields was astounding.
"ROAR!"
