Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1826 Chapter 480: When Human and Fiend Meet

"Good!"

The breakthrough of the initial Yan Ghost Array delivered a massive surge in spirits, leaving Long Ying and his companions unable to contain their excitement as they watched.

In front, Shi Miao unleashed a fearsome might, rallying the troops inside the dragon claw to rapidly breach another Yan Ghost Array and pin it down firmly to the earth.

Right then, the battlefield's surface shook violently, with two Ghost Witch Formations surging ahead at full speed.

"I'll handle it!"

Long Ying surged forward first, guiding the dragon head into a brutal clash.

Through the might of their Mystic Armor Department, they barely equaled a single Yan Ghost Array. Yet the Ghost Witch Formation ranked higher as a battle array, rivaling the strength of the sixth level in the Immortal King Realm!

Yet now, Long Ying pulled out a precious Immortal King Medicine and swallowed it down. He started at the fifth level of the Immortal King Realm, and his strength exploded upward. Though it failed to push him straight to the sixth level, his power grew immensely. Together with the warriors in the dragon head, he could now release force matching the sixth level of the Immortal King Realm!

The divide between levels in the Immortal King Realm proved enormous indeed. Long Ying had entered the True God level too, yet his True God Blood paled against Li Hao's. In this instant, he ignited it all without holding back, merely securing a slim edge to barely resist the Ghost Witch Formation.

Still, a second Ghost Witch Formation targeted the dragon's midsection.

Spotting this, Shi Miao smashed through the Yan Ghost Array trapped beneath the dragon claw, then released a horrifying Time Dao Origin force.

Her Time Origin Realm had advanced to the ninth level!

This stood as a domain few but advanced Immortal Kings could fathom, and even those at Immortal King Realm Perfection might not achieve it.

And right now, she channeled her fourth level Immortal King Realm strength to wield this Time Dao Origin power, generating a might equal to the sixth level of the Immortal King Realm.

Should she sacrifice her True God Blood at the expense of her body's exhaustion, she might just scrape near the seventh level of the Immortal King Realm!

This force stemmed purely from her own capabilities, independent of any military formation!

At present, the bulk of the troops' energy in the formation flowed to the dragon head, passed to Long Ying for containing the Ghost Witch Formation.

Shi Miao accessed only a fraction of that power and needed to depend on her personal skills to battle.

With a thunderous blast, the refined Time Dao Origin Power fused with her Eternal Realm of Time halted the Ghost Witch Formation in its tracks. Moments later, the dragon claw stabbed in, tearing a gash across the formation's torso and yanking out numerous Ancient Demons, shattering them to pieces on the spot.

This first clash inflicted severe wounds on the Ghost Witch Formation, stunning Duan Yuan and his allies—who had fallen into hopelessness—with awe at Shi Miao's dreadful prowess!

"Die!"

Shi Miao seized the momentum, teaming up with Long Ying to contain both Ghost Witch Formations, granting the rest a short breather.

The others didn't stand idle, launching swift assaults on the neighboring Yan Ghost Arrays.

Li Hao whipped the dragon tail around, readying for another blow, when a sharp warning of peril flared up without warning.

Out of nowhere, a rift tore open in the empty space, followed by an arrow bursting forth from it!

The arrow screamed past, slamming into the Dragon Array's central belly and piercing straight through the zone under Duan Yuan and Gui Xuanbing's watch!

A deafening explosion rang out, as though the Dragon Array had been cleaved apart, dividing at the belly into halves!

The countless soldiers in the belly section vanished in a flash, without a chance to cry out.

Duan Yuan and Gui Xuanbing's presence weakened swiftly.

This unexpected twist struck too suddenly, and as the others caught on, they rushed to glance over, beholding Duan Yuan and Gui Xuanbing on the brink of death at the break point, their forms broken apart, with just fragments of their Primordial Spirit lingering, and the True God Blood inside draining and cracking rapidly.

Their True God Blood remained limited, merely a few hundred drops, and despite its potent vitality, the ruin's devastating erasure force overwhelmed it, hastening its collapse.

"This..."

Liuli and her group felt utter terror, staring at the rift's location, yet it had sealed shut, offering no clue to the assailant's identity or the arrow's origin.

Undeniably, the foe wielded tremendous power, no less than the eighth level of the Immortal King Realm, or possibly beyond!

Such was the chaos of the battlefield, rife with hidden ambushes and surprise strikes.

Grasping the peril, Liuli and the rest dashed to save Duan Yuan and Gui Xuanbing, but two close Yan Ghost Arrays exploited the moment to lunge.

Furthermore, from the throng of Ancient Demons, two additional Ghost Witch Formations barreled in.

Four Ghost Witch Formations now mobilized to encircle their Mystic Armor Department's Dragon Array.

As she held back the Ghost Witch Formation, Shi Miao's face twisted in alarm. Drawing from her vast past-life combats, she instantly understood their Dragon Array's prominence had caught a mighty enemy's eye among the Ancient Demons, aiming to uproot this obstacle before it caused more trouble.

"Quick, retreat!"

Shi Miao cried out in haste.

She managed to check the present Ghost Witch Formation, but unraveling it demanded greater toil, and facing two more proved beyond their grasp.

Witnessing the peril, Long Ying broke into a chill sweat and promptly commanded a pullback to the city. Persisting here wasn't bravery but suicide.

Yet during their withdrawal attempt, the two Ghost Witch Formations blocked the way, wheeling about to snare them. Long Ying strove to break free, but the Ghost Witch Formation deployed a chilling domain, locking them down securely.

His spirit sank into ice. From his endless fights, he knew at once that doom awaited him here.

"Go!"

He torched his True God Blood, pouring out every ounce of strength, set to serve as the last Dragon Shield and block the Ghost Witch Formation desperately, buying the others time to flee.

Liuli and her comrades caught Long Ying's bellow from a distance, peering over to see the desperate scene unfolding.

Duan Yuan and Gui Xuanbing's spot lay swallowed by that ruinous energy. They couldn't reclaim their Primordial Spirit, barred from approaching the zone, left to witness their demise helplessly.
