Chapter 101: Unity is Strength
As soon as the Ghost Battle Body was formed, it killed several Spirits in front of it and pushed back dozens more. Zhou Tong and Murong Ying, seeing that Lian Yun was handling things with ease, asked in unison, "Young Master, do you want to enter the Evil Tide?"
This essentially meant that they would allow Lian Yun to charge into the depths of the Evil Tide while they maintained their own defensive line.
Lian Yun naturally nodded in agreement.
Although there was a hint of dawn breaking through, the surroundings remained dim, especially within the Evil Tide, which was as dark as ink.
Now that the Evil Spirit Tide had retreated behind the Evil Tide, most of the Spirits within were no longer possessed. Thus, charging into the Evil Tide posed little danger even if a Spirit managed to enter his body and cause a brief pause.
However, to be safe, Lian Yun still released sword energy from his body to form a protective shield around himself before leading Zhao Jinlong and Zhao Jinhui into the depths of the Evil Tide.
As soon as they entered, darkness surged out from Lian Yun's body, enveloping Zhao Jinlong and Zhao Jinhui to protect him from three directions.
Lian Yun then focused on attacking the Spirits directly in front of him.
Once he began his assault, he quickly dispatched about ten Spirits in an instant.
Big Head, Sword Mountain, Three Spirits, and Chen Er Gou extended their hands out from Lian Yun's body, continuously grasping at the air. Whenever they caught something, they would squeeze tightly and pull any injured Spirits into Lian Yun's body.
In this way, Lian Yun suddenly had twelve additional ghostly hands extending from him, creating a chilling and terrifying sight.
However, within the depths of the Evil Tide where Lian Yun was located, it was nearly impossible to see anything at all; thus no one could notice this situation.
Despite being surrounded by what seemed like endless prey within the Evil Tide, Lian Yun dared not allow too many Spirits to enter his Box.
He could only allow Big Head and others to capture a certain number of Spirits into the Box within him. Once that number was reached, he had to wait for the Box to completely dissolve one Spirit before he could capture another.
This was because if there were too many Spirits inside the Box, his nostrils would continuously leak Corrupted Blood. If outsiders saw or sensed the presence of Corrupted Blood, it would inevitably lead to some speculation about him.
If their guesses were accurate, it would be difficult for him to hide his identity.
Moreover, a small amount of malicious and fierce aura could only affect a limited number of Spirits. After Lian Yun attacked a few times, the Evil Tide, which had originally scattered to give Lian Yun some space, was still being assaulted by several frenzied Spirits.
In this positive cycle, Lian Yun felt he could fight for Seven Seven Nights.
For this reason, Lian Yun specifically instructed Hei, Zhao Jinlong, and Zhao Jinhui not to act, allowing only himself to continuously battle, slaying Spirits and extracting their essence while occasionally letting Big Head catch a Spirit for him.
However, Lian Yun was so engrossed in his solo combat that Hei, Zhao Jinlong, and Zhao Jinhui became bored enough to catch one or two Spirits to relieve their boredom.
Meanwhile, not far from Lian Yun's flourishing situation, Zhou Tong and others at the Human Defense Line were not facing any significant crisis either.
Looking at the entire battlefield, with over fifty thousand people on the Eastern Battlefield, not everyone was engaged in combat. Thousands of relatively weaker individuals remained on high rooftops, either observing or waiting for the crisis to pass.
The remaining forty thousand plus were mostly organized into teams of over a hundred people each, forming a defensive line that spanned forty to fifty meters.
These teams consisted of single groups or multiple groups combined, with some even being half teams.
As a result, the entire Human Defense Line extended over fifteen kilometers.
If they formed tighter encirclements, they could surround the high-rise buildings where the East District's population resided in two or three rings.
Although there was no overall commander, nearly all the teams worked in perfect harmony to form a defensive circle.
If there were too much space in the middle of the defense line, it would indicate a high density of the Evil Tide, resulting in increased impact, attack power, and rebound force. Even with two or three layers of five or six steps of defense, there was a possibility of being quickly breached.
In contrast, by stretching out the defense line and reducing the density of the Evil Tide, it became much safer and more secure.
Moreover, most of the Spirits within the Evil Tide originated from Fengdu. They could easily evade the pursuit of Evil Spirits by passing through walls and buildings, but that did not mean their strength was particularly formidable.
The human race feared the powerful Evil Spirits within Fengdu, which is why they rarely ventured inside.
Thus, in terms of individual strength, humans were not inferior to the Demon Clan.
Additionally, nearly every human possessed several to dozens of Ghost Slaves. Therefore, with four or five Ten Thousand People, there could be between two hundred thousand to four hundred thousand Ghost Slaves.
This number of Ghost Slaves could easily form a medium-sized Evil Tide.
Furthermore, humans could combine several or even ten Ghost Slaves to create a Ghost Battle Body, allowing their combat power to instantly match that of multiple Spirits or even dozens of them.
As such, the strength of the humans in the East District was actually not weaker than that of the Evil Tide.
Finally, since this Evil Tide was essentially fleeing for its life, most had not brought along any strong or heavy objects, significantly diminishing their physical attack capabilities.
This gave humans an advantage over the Demon Clan.
At this moment, it was the best opportunity for humans to hunt Spirits and capture Ghost Slaves. However, all of this hinged on the unity of four or five Ten Thousand People among the human race.
Because now, everyone is faced with only one type of Spirit. However, once a point is breached by the Demon Clan, if the two nearby teams do not provide timely assistance, then this defense line of over fifteen miles will collapse like a broken waterline, turning into drops of rain.
Each team will face Spirits from all directions, and the Spirits they confront will instantly multiply several times, even dozens of times.
At that point, even if the human race possesses individual strength greater than that of the Demon Clan, they will eventually be worn down by the Demon Clan.
However, while other regions may face difficulties, the human race in the East District is exceptionally united at this moment.
Perhaps it is due to the two-mile defense line established by the Silver Prosperity team, which exudes an unbreakable momentum!
This momentum continuously spreads to both sides, extending throughout the entire defense line of over fifteen miles.
It instills in everyone a firm belief that humanity can achieve victory. As a result, many schemes, malice, and treachery are temporarily set aside as they focus on fighting with all their might while continuously reaping rewards.
In less than three minutes of battle, the entire Evil Tide saw a reduction of about ten percent in Spirits. This demonstrates that when united, humanity possesses seemingly limitless power.
However, although most of the Demon Clan are muddled and only know how to create chaos and evil, some Spirits with clear intelligence and considerable wisdom are not foolish beings.
When the situation begins to turn against them, hundreds or even thousands of Tyrants emerge from within the Demon Clan. They are aggressive and extremely brutal, forcibly enslaving other Spirits. Those who refuse to comply have their arms torn off or are devoured alive, subsequently forming a Demon Clan army.
