Chapter 2204 - Unstoppable! (1/2)

Any living creature, whether human or animal, would bleed when heavily injured. Even trees that were shot would occasionally bleed sap.

Even though Su Hanshan had learned from Wang Chong long ago about the bizarre aspects of the Yeluohe, all of this still left him deeply stunned.

The existence of the Yeluohe completely defied the basic principles of life.

Not only that, Su Hanshan could see those Yeluohe that had been shot off their horses crawling up from the ground, jumping back on their horses, and once more charging toward the fortress.

Bang!

As all of the soldiers reeled in shock, one of the Yeluohe reached out, extracted the long ballista bolt in its chest, turned its crimson eyes, took aim, and threw.

Bang!

Two Tang horsemen several hundred feet away were struck by the long ballista bolt before they could react, and together with their horses, they were nailed to the ground.

“Careful!”

Only now did a panicked warning ring out.

“Defend! Defend! Defend!”

The Tang generals turned fearful as they hollered with all their might. They had never encountered soldiers like this in their lives.

The Tang ballistae needed mechanisms and switches to possess such astonishing destructive power.

But these Yeluohe were different. A bolt that was thrown from their hands could pierce through the armor of the Tang horsemen and nail two elite Tang cavalry to the ground.

It had to be known that for this war, the Great Tang had mobilized almost all of its strength. All of the Tang soldiers wore armor forged from the finest steel. Such armor was incredibly tough and even capable of stopping attacks from master archers.

But in front of these Yeluohe, the armor seemed to be made of paper, so easy to pierce through that it seemed unbelievable.

Boomboomboom!

With a great rumble, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation switched from offense to defense. This supreme formation had originally been equipped for both offense and defense.

As the formation and messenger flags shifted, countless tower shields and heavy shields moved to the front. At this moment, everyone felt an intense danger.

For them to feel this despite the battle not even having begun was unprecedented.

Gallop! The hooves of the Yeluohe horses thundered as they moved as swiftly as ghosts, getting closer and closer. In the blink of an eye, the Yeluohe were only ten-some meters from the Tang defense line.

In this entire process, the Yeluohe remained cold as ice, their movements as one. They did not say a single word, their silence exerting an oppressive pressure that stirred panic.

Clang!

At the very front, the Yeluohe leader’s eyes flashed. He instantly pulled an ancient sword out of his rusted sheath, and around him, the surrounding Yeluohe mimicked his action. As they pulled out their weapons, their energies soared to a new level. They became even more frightening, their cold and gleaming weapons seeming like the scythes of the death god.

By this time, the pressure had become utterly suffocating.

Ten meters, eight meters, three meters…

Neigh!

With a loud cry, the Yeluohe at the front suddenly pulled the reins on its horse and leaped, preparing to charge into the Tang defense line.

Just when this terrifying force was about to begin its full assault…

Bang!

A massive boom came from the imposing steel fortress in the rear, and a massive gale stirred. Before anyone could react, a giant ballista bolt flew overhead and struck that leaping Yeluohe.

With the sound of cracking bones, the head of the warhorse was crushed into countless shards, and then the head of the Yeluohe rider atop it was similarly obliterated by that terrifying force.

In no time at all, everything from the chest up of that Yeluohe warrior was obliterated.

Bang!

The giant ballista bolt continued into the dense ranks of the Yeluohe.

Boom! Boom! Boom! In a series of explosions, numerous Yeluohe were blasted to bits by the giant ballista bolt.

The Yeluohe cavalry under An Lushan were almost unkillable, and no injury they sustained would be fatal. But these were the giant ballistae that had slain Behemoths. Not even the powerful Yeluohe could stop them.
