Chapter 1457: Heterochromic Blood
Before Qing Huan Xiang could say another word, the swift, ghost-like black shadows were already right in front of them!
A loud explosion blasted right in their faces!
"Bang!"
Terrifying shockwaves spread out, causing even the space to slightly distort!
Fortunately, the giant turtle blocked it with its golden back, shielding Qing Huan Xiang behind it, preventing major losses.
Even so, Gui Shoutian, who had transformed into the giant turtle, was not having an easy time. His brows twitched incessantly, seemingly having sustained injuries. Even his defense could not easily withstand the self-destruction of these terrifying black shadows!
In this moment of desperation.
Qing Huan Xiang hastily channeled all his demonic energy, striking fiercely at the incoming black shadows while pulling the old turtle into a rapid retreat toward the Shadow Island!
Watching this scene, the various defense squads broke out in a cold sweat!
"Hiss..."
"It's these black shadows again!"
"To think that after failing their sneak attack last time, they actually made a comeback, and their numbers are even more terrifying than before!"
"Although the number of these black shadows is huge, their auras don't seem as fearsome as the previous enemies. Even so, this is not something Qing Huan Xiang and Gui Shoutian can withstand alone!"
"Our only plan now is for all departments to join forces and attack!"
"All departments, leave a portion of your forces to guard your respective areas. Everyone else, head to the urban-rural fringe. We must intercept all these invading black shadows!"
Urgent voice transmissions echoed continuously from their work badges, and streaks of light darted ceaselessly across the sky above the city.
Within a few breaths.
The retreating Qing Huan Xiang and Gui Shoutian had already led their group back to the urban-rural fringe, standing guard on both sides of the highway intersection with solemn expressions.
Around their tall figures, ripples continuously spread through the void!
The Labor Protection Squad, the Night Soil Squad, the Vegetable Growing Squad, the Security Squad...
The elites of all departments of the Shadow Island appeared, with the commanders of each department holding the line, glaring like tigers at the tidal wave of incoming black shadows!
Besides these thousands of people, the volunteer patrol and defense squads formed by the citizens also dispatched nearly half of their forces to assist. Even though no one was officially mobilizing the Shadow Island right now, everyone from top to bottom was united and showed perfect teamwork.
Almost instantly, the strongest forces had gathered at the edge of the city, constructing the ultimate defense of the Shadow Island!
Tens of thousands of people stood in strict formation, quietly waiting for the highly respected Master Lu to give the order.
Even the Involution King and his son, who were usually laughing and joking, had now led their people to take their positions. Some tightly gripped the joysticks of excavators, some fiercely guarded the mountain-high piles of bricks beside them, and others wore brand-new work uniforms with solemn expressions!
Seeing the tide of black shadows getting closer, their hideous faces revealing a state of madness, they were barely a thousand feet from the highway intersection and would charge over in a matter of breaths!
Master Lu let out a deep, thunderous shout, his hair and beard dancing wildly!
"Night Soil Squad, take the vanguard!"
As soon as his deep voice fell.
Many members of the Night Soil Squad stepped forward to the front lines in unison. Some gripped dung buckets tightly, some drove septic trucks, and others held massive water pipes with both hands!
The Night Soil Squad was inherently the core strength of the Shadow Island. Facing this unprecedented enemy, they were naturally the best choice to lead the charge!
Following Master Lu's wave of command, all the members displayed their divine abilities!
"Dung Dance of the Nine Heavens!"
"Revolving Dung Manifesting Flight!"
"Climbing Wheels Attaching Dung!"
Those with formidable cultivation bases unleashed their divine abilities with full force. In an instant, phantom anomalies emerged one after another. Various profoundly mysterious divine abilities condensed the supreme power of the Great Dao and attacked the tide of enemies!
Those with slightly weaker cultivation bases wielded the divine artifacts in their hands, skillfully executing the martial techniques of the Dung Dao, continuously launching fierce attacks at the rushing black shadows!
After a terrifying round of attacks, it indeed had some effect.
In the front ranks of the tidal wave of black shadows, many figures fell to the ground in agony, visibly slowing down their rushing pace.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.
Before the Night Soil Squad members could show any pleasant surprise in their eyes, many of the fallen black shadows actually climbed back up one after another. Like mad demons, they continued to roar and charge forward, terrifying power continuously gathering on their bodies, looking as if they were about to self-destruct!
Witnessing this scene, everyone present was greatly horrified.
The Night Soil Squad members wanted to strike again, but unfortunately, they had just exhausted all their strength and found it difficult to quickly condense their divine abilities!
As Master Lu's deep voice rang out, they had no choice but to unwillingly retreat and hurriedly regulate their breathing, swapping in the Labor Protection Squad to take the stage!
The next moment.
A sky full of bricks flew toward the tide of black shadows, and excavators roared as they charged into the enemy lines, displaying immense might!
Countless magical treasures rained down into the black shadows like spring rain. Muffled thuds echoed from time to time, and the tide of enemies seemed to have been knocked down by a small half. However, more and more black shadows surged forward, and the sounds of self-destruction blasted continuously!
"Bang! Bang!"
Just from the spreading shockwaves, many of the senior and junior workers in the front lines had already suffered casualties. They were bitterly holding on by relying solely on the excavators. Seeing this, the various departments gnashed their teeth, the flames of fury rising in their eyes!
However, with the big picture at stake, each department had its own duties. Even if they witnessed casualties, they could not arbitrarily charge into the formation to rescue them and add to the death toll. Left with no choice, they could only turn their grief and indignation into strength and continue pouring into the offensive!
Wave after wave of attacks were launched. The major squads revealed all their trump cards, and the black tide continued to surge closer. The battle gradually entered a white-hot stage. Blood and tears began to flow at the highway intersection, and the sounds of slaughter resounded through the heavens and the earth!
After a full night of bloody battle.
Fortunately, blessed by various equipment and coupled with the courageous fighting of all departments, their stubborn defense finally succeeded. Even though the casualties were not light, they ultimately did not let a single black shadow rush into the city, protecting the peace of the residents and their homeland!
Looking at the devastated battlefield, the exhausted Master Lu let out a long sigh of relief. His expression became very complex, and he remained silent for a long time.
That was until Pork Rong, accompanied by a few vegetable-selling aunties, came forward to pay their respects, looking equally disheveled.
"Master Lu, we have discovered a new situation!"
Hearing this, Master Lu raised his eyes in confusion and followed the group.
Walking to the abandoned construction site by the roadside piled high with the mutilated corpses of the black shadows, he finally noticed that those severed limbs and broken arms were actually flowing with black-blue blood!
For a moment, Master Lu watched in sheer astonishment.
The commanders of the various departments who arrived one after another also couldn't help but whisper in surprise.
"To think there are living creatures in this world with blood of such a bizarre color?"
"These black shadows are absolutely not of our human race!"
"What kind of existences are they exactly, and why must they launch sneak attacks on our Shadow Island? During the battle just now, I kept feeling like these black shadows were never afraid of death. They all desperately wanted to self-destruct!"
"I felt the same way. I don't know what kind of terrifying creatures they are to be this bizarre and wicked!"
As the whispers echoed in their ears, everyone's expressions turned grave.
They guessed for a long time but reached no conclusion. Various doubts lingered in everyone's minds.
Looking at the tragic scene around him, Master Lu felt increasingly that the situation was dire. He could only comfort everyone with a deep voice while leading the crowd to clear the battlefield and treat the wounded.
"Everyone."
"These creatures are truly bizarre, and their methods are incredibly terrifying. They are absolutely beyond our understanding. Nowadays, strange things are happening frequently, and natural disasters are hard to pacify. I fear the world will fall into chaos. In the face of such a great tribulation, all we can do is protect our homeland and defend this pure land of the Shadow Island."
"As for everything else, we can only wait for the various lords to arrive before making a decision."
These words caused everyone to nod in agreement, and the various departments became busy once again.
Meanwhile, the black shadows outside seemed to have decreased by more than half, causing continuous suspicion among the cultivators of Cloud Planet. Unfortunately, they still had no clue. Everyone simply assumed it was divine assistance from the heavens and seized the opportunity to eradicate the black demons, condense their spiritual energy, and restore their cultivation bases.
The entire Cloud Planet initiated a nationwide defense war.
As the war grew increasingly intense, many cultivators returned to their peak state. There were even those who defied the odds, ascending to higher realms through the baptism of bloody battles...
