Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2556: Chapter 2557: Army Pressing In

Blood!

As far as the eye could see, there was glaring, eye-stinging scarlet blood everywhere.

In the vast expanse of the void, corpses lay strewn like a field of withered bones—among them were disciples of the Bing Family, and also the invading evil creatures.

Many Bing Family soldiers, even in death, still maintained the battle posture of their final moments, while the faces of those evil creatures were frozen in deep incomprehension and terror.

Right up until they died, these evil creatures could not understand why these Bing Family soldiers would fight so desperately, to the point of near madness.

Yet even so, this brutal slaughter still had not ended; instead it grew ever more fierce.

The shouts of killing filled every corner; with every passing second, lives were being extinguished.

But no matter how the sky-blotting Evil Creature Army charged, they could not shake the Bing Family’s camp in the slightest.

When one soldier fell, a second immediately stepped up to fill the gap, and was even more berserk than the one before. Under such circumstances, the Bing Family’s lines were like a reef in a storm-tossed sea, unmoving no matter how the Evil Creature Army crashed against them.

At the center of the Evil Creature Army, the black-clothed man watched this scene coldly; no matter how many of the evil creatures under his command were slain or wounded, not the slightest expression appeared on his face.

As if what was dying were not living beings, but worthless cannon fodder.

And in his heart, that was indeed exactly how he was calculating it.

To an existence of his level, these charging evil creatures were precisely cannon fodder. Let alone losing this many—even if all of them were wiped out, he would not so much as blink.

Especially now, after crossing blades with the Bing Family, the black-clothed man pushed this icy calculation to the extreme.

In his view, sacrificing a batch of useless cannon fodder in exchange for the precious lives of those well-trained enemy soldiers was a bargain.

No matter how you did the math, he was profiting.

Precisely because of this, there was not the slightest impatience in his heart.

Because he knew that he could afford this kind of attrition, but the Bing Family could not.

If things continued like this, even if the Bing Family’s morale did not collapse, they would fall into the awkward situation of having no one left to field.

As expected.

After the battle dragged on for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the Bing Family’s formation, which had been as solid as an iron wall, began to tremble ever so slightly.

It was not that there was any problem with the morale of these blood-soaked Bing Family soldiers; on the contrary, at this moment almost every one of them had gone red-eyed from killing, bursting forth with nearly two hundred percent of their combat strength.

The reason it was like this was entirely because too many soldiers had died, and their reserves were severely depleted, which ultimately led to gaps along the front and a faint instability in the overall situation.

Seeing this, the black-clothed man’s lips slowly curled upward, a look of smug satisfaction surfacing on his face.

"Press harder, they won’t be able to hold out much longer!" the black-clothed man said blandly.

"Yes!"

Lü Zhongxuan and the other evil creatures immediately intensified their supervisory efforts, and in an instant the evil creatures’ offensive surged. The already precarious Bing Family battle line began to quake violently.

For a time, even the Bing Family elders in charge of command were forced to join the fighting in person.

Yet though their strength was formidable, their numbers were ultimately limited; on this vast battlefield, it was like a single cup of water trying to quench a great fire.

Just then, a loud shout suddenly rose from the rear of the Bing Family’s lines.

"Bing Family sons, do not panic, your ancestors are here!"

With that shout, several streaks of dazzling light flew straight forward and then revealed their forms.

The newcomers were men and women, young and old alike, but every figure was somewhat translucent—it turned out they were all in soul form.

Upon seeing these people, the Bing Family elders all trembled in unison and cried out in shock, "Honored ancestors, why are you not staying in the Ancestral Hall and instead running here?"

Exactly!

The ones who had arrived were precisely the few ancestral spirits enshrined in the Bing Family’s Ancestral Hall.

The man who had just shouted let out a heh-heh laugh. "Now that the Bing Family is in grave peril, how could we as ancestors hide in the Ancestral Hall and stand idly by?"

As he spoke, his face filled with killing intent as he looked toward the Evil Creature Army opposite them. "What’s more, these evil creatures have come on fiercely, and our children are in the prime of their years. If they all die at the hands of such despicable things, wouldn’t that be a pity?"

The speaker was none other than Zhongli Shan, ancestral spirit of the Zhongli Family.

Beside him, Gu Xianyi, the ancestral spirit of the Gu Clan, couldn’t help but nod. "Old Zhongli is right. The soldiers’ lives are exceedingly precious—how can we let them be wasted here for nothing?"

As her words fell, these ancestral spirits passed through the crowd, arriving at the very front line to directly face the Evil Creature Army across from them.

The black-clothed man of course recognized these people as well; he ground his teeth and said coldly,

"A bunch of old ghosts whose bones have long since rotted dare to sabotage my plans? All of you, charge! Tear every last one of those soul bodies to shreds!"

At his command, the evil creatures surged forward like a tidal wave.

Facing that earth-shaking onslaught, Zhongli Shan’s expression grew solemn. He suddenly spoke in a low voice to Gu Xianyi at his side.

"Xianyi, if we can’t hold on later, you must hurry back to the Ancestral Hall. There’s a Formation’s protection there; you should be safe."

At his words, Gu Xianyi let out a cold snort, then brushed a lock of hair by her ear. "You make it sound like I’m some cowardly thing that clings to life and fears death!"

"But..." Zhongli Shan grew anxious.

Gu Xianyi waved her hand. "No need to say more. Wherever you are, that’s where I’ll be. I’ve already died once; I don’t care about dying a second time. Besides..."

Gu Xianyi suddenly spoke in an extremely low voice: "As long as I can be with you, I’m willing even if my soul is scattered to dust."

She spoke very softly and very fast, but Zhongli Shan still heard every word clearly.

He froze on the spot, staring blankly at Gu Xianyi. He had just opened his mouth to ask her something more.

Right then, Gu Xianyi, her face flushed red, looked straight ahead and said in a deep voice, "Enough, get ready. Those bastards are charging in!"

Zhongli Shan felt as if a ball of wild joy had exploded in his chest. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind.

That was that even if he were to have his soul completely scattered right now, it would be worth it.

Holding that thought, he nodded heavily. "Mm!"

The conversation between the two of them was heard clearly by Yue Huacang, Long Tianzong, and the others not far away.

As fellow ancestral spirits who had spent many years together in the Ancestral Hall, at this moment, every one of them wore a gratified smile.

As for Zhongli Shan and Gu Xianyi, this pair of bickering lovers—how could these people, who had all been old foxes in life, fail to see the affection they held for each other?

It was only because Gu Xianyi’s temperament was strange that no one dared to expose it to her face.

Until today, facing a mortal enemy, the two had finally opened their hearts and spoken their true feelings.

This outcome naturally filled the others with deep satisfaction.

Boom!

The Evil Creature Army rushed up close and rammed violently into the battle array formed by these ancestral spirits.

Waves surged and space shattered.

Immediately afterward, an invisible shockwave suddenly rippled outward.

Zhongli Shan and the others all groaned at the same time and were forced a few steps back.

As for the evil creatures opposite them, under the force of the shockwave, at least several dozen were reduced to dust in an instant.

But casualties like that were utterly insignificant to an Evil Creature Army as vast as a boundless sea.
