Dark Mist gathered and slowly began to spread from a point on the mountain path. After such a long period of probing, the Yin Ghost now confirmed that they absolutely could not break through the Earth Elemental Formation in a short time. As the power of Dragon City continued to strengthen, they had also begun to suffer increasing casualties. Fighting in a formation that favored the enemy was something they could hardly bear. After all, the battle with Dragon City had not truly begun, and their gains so far had only resulted in depleting some of the enemy's minor troops and supplies.
However, this time, those stationed here were powerful overlords with abundant resources at their disposal. Since they could not directly break the Earthly Array, they decided to arrange another formation to counter it.
Within this Dark Mist, the speed, agility, and strength of the Yin Ghost Clan had greatly increased. Their power was certainly not inferior to that of the Earthly Array. The only drawback was that the duration of the mist's spread was too short; currently, the area covered was not very large, and the Dark Mist was too conspicuous, allowing others to notice their tricks from a considerable distance.
Yet, compared to their enhanced power, this drawback was negligible.
In the distance, a convoy was slowly approaching without stopping, and the ambushing Yin Ghost Clan members perked up.
Given that they dared to approach so boldly despite clearly sensing something amiss here, they must have some confidence in their strength.
"Go!" Seeing that the entire convoy had slowly entered their Dark Mist, the stationed Yin Ghost Clan expert noticed that the summoned Demon King had yet to arrive and gritted his teeth, ordering a few Yin Ghosts to go up and test the waters.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Indeed, the captain's concerns were well-founded. Although both sides' formations had neutralized each other in this mist, they still could not gain an advantage and were easily suppressed instead. It seemed they were about to be completely annihilated by the enemy!
This Yin Ghost Captain was also a ruthless character; seeing that things were going poorly and realizing that even if he charged into battle against their experts he might not have any chance of winning, he simply closed his eyes and ignored his subordinates' cries for help, coldly watching them being slaughtered. Then, that convoy left calmly.
The surrounding Yin Ghost Clan warriors did not voice any objections.
Rather than saying they understood their captain's intentions, it would be more accurate to say they feared his authority and dared not speak—after all, not everyone in the Yin Ghost Clan possessed enough cunning.
What frustrated him even more was that within such a short time, it seemed another convoy had arrived after receiving a "safe" signal from the previous team.
"Captain, what should we do?" One Yin Ghost Clan warrior couldn't help but step forward and ask.
The captain pondered for a moment.
Although the convoy appeared calm, who could say it wasn't a ruse? Their intention might be to take advantage of the captain's recent losses and create a false sense of security.
Moreover, it had already been analyzed above that with Long City’s strength, it was impossible to deploy enough experts in every convoy, so the chances of success this time were relatively high.
"You go!" After realizing this, the captain no longer hesitated and pointed directly at the warrior from the Yin Ghost Clan who had come to ask for his orders. "Take three warriors and go check their strength."
The Yin Ghost Clan warrior almost slapped himself in regret.
Wasn't this just asking for trouble? What was he trying to prove? It would have been much better to stay back quietly. The look in the captain's eyes clearly indicated that if he dared not to go, he would personally "send" him down.
To their surprise, this time the escorting force had significantly changed, but not for the worse; it had actually improved!
The captain could only shake his head in resignation once again.
"Yin Fox, what’s the situation here?" At that moment, a deep voice sounded from behind him.
"Demon King!" Upon hearing this, the captain jolted, and all feelings of regret vanished without a trace. The expert behind him could undoubtedly become a nightmare for Long City, and perhaps he could use this opportunity to exact revenge on those who bullied and killed his subordinates.
"Yes, I sensed a Spiritual Energy Fluctuation here earlier. It seems there was a major battle not long ago," the Demon King said.
Yin Fox felt no need to hide anything from him and explained how the two convoys from Long City had brazenly passed through their Dark Mist and displayed impressive strength, causing their warriors considerable losses.
"I see. It's normal for them to suffer significant losses here and strengthen their forces; it's just uncertain whether they have mobilized all their power."
The captain was not clear about the plans of the several Ghost Kings, so he didn't know how to interject. At this moment, there was no need for him to speak; he could simply follow orders.
"Just wait. We only need to wait for their convoy to pass by once more, and then we will know if they can mobilize their entire force."
As soon as he finished speaking, another convoy rushed forward.
"Hmph! Let's see just how capable they are."
A cry resembling that of a Giant Eagle echoed, causing the people of Dragon City to immediately become alert and look up at the enemy in the sky.
The entire horizon darkened as a shadow swooped down, bringing with it waves of Dark Mist. The visibility in the valley was already limited, and with the addition of his Dark Mist, it directly affected the vision of those below.
"Lightless!" Taking advantage of the already deployed Dark Mist below, the Ghost King shouted coldly, unleashing Dark Arts that enveloped everyone beneath him in his Spiritual Essence.
At the same time, a pressure descended upon them; ordinary experts would find themselves immobilized under such overwhelming force.
"Heh heh, a few little ones. Just right to capture you all and use you against the other experts in Dragon City!" The Ghost King confidently charged downwards, while warriors from the Yin Ghost Clan on both sides of the mountain wall also surged forward.
"You might be overestimating yourself."
Just as the Ghost King was using his technique and had no time to change tactics, a sharp shout suddenly came from within the convoy. A box on one of the vehicles burst open, and a figure shot out to confront the Ghost King head-on!
"How is this possible!"
The Ghost King was taken aback; with his strength, he had not noticed such a powerful expert hidden within the convoy.
“Fire Elemental Devastation!” Four pillars of fire shot out in a remarkably intricate formation, creating a massive square of flames within the corners. The Demon King essentially walked himself into the fiery trap.
The Demon King roared in anger, channeling twelve times his Spiritual Essence. At this moment, he could not afford to think of anything else and desperately tried to halt his movement.
Just then, Song Shuping flashed behind him and struck out with a palm, directly injuring him severely!
“Demon King!” Fortunately, at that moment, the warriors of the Yin Ghost Clan had rushed over, disregarding how terrifying the fiery formation was as they charged forward to intercept Wang Long, who was about to take advantage of the situation to attack.
“Since you all have rushed in, it saves me some effort.” Wang Long struck down one Yin Ghost Clan warrior with a single palm, watching coldly as they braced themselves on the opposite side.
With his right hand forming a seal, the Fire Essence within the fiery formation surged wildly. Even floating in mid-air, one could feel the terrifying heat.
“Flame! No Heaven!”
Boom!
Flames erupted, turning the entire area into a domain of fire where nothing could withstand such fierce Earth Elemental Power. Everything was rendered illusory!
As the flames dissipated, Wang Long saw a shadow retreating in disarray beyond the fiery formation, vanishing from their sight in an instant.
