Chapter 39

  The vanguard of Ning's army was unsuccessful in its initial assault, but he did not intend to give up at this point. Next, all the surviving soldiers of the vanguard withdrew and were replaced by the 50,000 soldiers of the rear guard, who continued the attack on the city.

  Even in the brief interval of changing shifts, Ning Jun did not give the Fengguo defenders time to rest. The dense arrow array of 100,000 people launched again, and the dense arrows shot onto the city head like raindrops.

  In an instant, arrows covered the corpses, turning Tongmen's city wall into a sea of arrows.

  Because of the previous experience of being hit by the opponent's arrow array, this time the Fengguo defenders responded without too much panic. People scattered, either hiding behind arrow towers or running down the city wall to hide at the foot of the wall, or holding up shields to block the rain of arrows.

  Finally waited for Ning Jun's arrow array to pass, but immediately followed by the 50,000 Ning army's siege reopened.

  Looking at the dense Ning army swarming up the cloud ladder below the city, the Fengguo defenders were somewhat desperate. People felt that this was simply a battle of defense with no chance of winning. The strength difference between the two sides was too great, and it was simply absurd to think that 20,000 people could withstand the attack of 400,000 people.

  At the time when the defenders were in a state of panic, a relief team composed of ordinary civilians spontaneously formed inside Tongmen City. They had not received specialized combat training and could not go to the front lines to fight the enemy, but they could help the soldiers with miscellaneous tasks such as rescuing wounded soldiers, removing corpses, transporting defensive equipment, etc.

  Their arrival may not have made up for the difference in strength between the two sides, but it warmed the hearts of the soldiers and gave them the motivation to continue fighting to the death, even if not for their country, they also had a responsibility to protect the lives of tens of thousands of civilians within Tongmen City.

  The fight is still going on, Tang Yin stays in place without moving.

  This place is a 'disaster area', the Wind Country's defending soldiers have all been exhausted, and only he, Gu Yue, Le Tian and Qiu Zhen, who has no combat power, are left.

  Jing Ningbing again set up a cloud ladder, frantically climbing upwards. Tang Yin, wearing a suit of divine armor, held a sickle knife and suddenly swung out a spiritual wave.

  With a loud cracking sound, the cloud ladder below him suddenly broke in half, and more than ten Ning soldiers on it cried out as they fell down.

  His spiritual energy consumption has the enemy army to help him replenish, Gu Yue dare not waste his spiritual energy, but fortunately he is strong, lifting the rolling wood and pounding stone without any effort, also causing great harm to the Ning soldiers climbing the cloud ladder.

  Lü Tian stood on one leg on the city wall, shooting arrow after arrow downwards at the Ning army soldiers. He didn't need to infuse his arrows with spiritual energy; even ordinary arrows shot by him were incredibly deadly. Almost every single arrow hit a vital spot of an enemy soldier, and each time the bowstring vibrated, it meant another enemy soldier had fallen to his death.

  Qiu Zhen did not participate in the battle, but he was not idle either. He collected arrows and sent them to Yue Tian's side, then moved rolling logs and boulders over to Gu Yue, busy with sweat dripping down his face, panting continuously.

  But after all, there were only four of them, how could they guard the city wall that was over ten meters long? Soon, the Ning army broke in and engaged in close combat with Tang Yin and others.

  Close combat was what Le Tian hated the most, his archery skills were completely useless, but Tang Yin loved this kind of battle, the swarms of Ning soldiers were like a sumptuous Manchu-Han full-course meal to him, one hand wielding the black sickle knife after spiritualization, the other burning with dark fire, killing enemies while absorbing spiritual energy.

  If it were a normal person, the violent surge of spiritual energy within their body would be unbearable and would cause damage to their internal organs. However, Tang Yin had been practicing martial arts since he was young, so his physique was strong and robust. The sudden increase in spiritual energy would only cause him temporary discomfort, but his body could adapt quickly.

  The Ning soldiers around him were gathering more and more, and the corpses on the ground and the empty armor were also increasing rapidly. Tang Yin was now thoroughly numb to killing, and the many Ning soldiers around him no longer seemed human in his eyes - they were pigs, dogs, beasts, anything but people. Only with this mindset could he continue fighting.

  Tang Yin couldn't even count how many people he had killed, just the empty armor left behind by him was no less than several hundred sets, let alone the countless enemies swept down from the city walls.

  Just as he was about to kill him in the dark of night, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Brother Tang, save me!"

  The only one who can call him Tang Da Ge is Qiu Zhen, no one else.

  Tang Yin swiftly swung his two swords, driving back the surrounding enemies. He then took advantage of the opportunity to jump onto the arrow tower, and with a glance around, he saw that the city walls were already lined with Ning soldiers. Qiu Zhen, Gu Yue, and Le Tian had been forced into a corner by the enemy, with Gu Yue single-handedly covering the other two as they desperately held off the sea of enemies, his body seemingly injured as well, with blood dripping down from his leather armor.

  He took a glance, the Ning soldiers who had just been repelled came back to attack again. Tang Yin confirmed the position of Qiu Zhen and others, then jumped down from the arrow tower, his scimitar continuously made three heavy chops, cutting out three spiritual waves, the Ning soldiers rushed over quickly, but fell even faster, dozens of people were swept away by the spiritual waves, their bodies immediately split in two, the smooth cut surface was like being cut by a laser.

  Tang Yin exerted all his strength and rushed towards Qiu Zhen with full force, swinging the spiritual sickle in a wide arc, sharp and unstoppable. The Ning soldiers were killed and cried out to the sky, falling down in large numbers.

  All the way, he almost stepped on the enemy's corpse to walk over, the spiritual armor on his body was washed by the splashing blood again and again, until now, it is no longer clear whether the spiritual armor is black or red.

  Finally arrived at Qiu Zhen's side, seeing that the three of them were fine, he let out a sigh of relief and said to Gu Yue: "You hold off the enemy for now!" As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Yue's reaction, he had already walked behind him and crouched down.

  The ancient Yue saw the situation, his nose was almost crooked, thinking that Tang Yin would come over to help him block the enemy and distract the opponent's attack, but Tang Yin actually hid behind his back as soon as he came.

  If he still had the strength, he would have scolded Tang Yin a few words, but unfortunately there were too many enemies in front of him, and he could hardly protect himself, let alone waste his energy on arguing with Tang Yin.

  Tang Yin hid behind the ancient wall of Yue, not for rest.

  He crouched down, kneeling on one knee, and drew a six-pointed star on the ground with his blood-stained fingers. Then he opened his palm and pressed it onto the center of the star. As he muttered to himself, a swirling black mist emanated from his palm. The mist dispersed, and the six-pointed star drawn in blood suddenly radiated a dazzling red light. He shouted in a cold voice: "Come out! Slave of darkness!"

  Whoa! Before everyone could figure out what was happening, the five Ning soldiers' corpses that were originally lying at Gu Yue's feet suddenly stood up.

  The corpse's eyes were empty, but its body was moving, picking up a weapon from the ground and charging towards the surrounding Ning soldiers instead of advancing on Gu.

  The dead come back to life, whether it is for Ning Bing or Gu Yue and Le Tian, it is an extremely unbelievable thing, people simply dare not believe their eyes, but the fact is right in front of them.

  Only the five corpses of Ning soldiers were seen, with black eyes and no expression on their faces, like five walking dead bodies, but their physical strength was astonishingly great, one sword cut out, almost able to split the Ning soldiers in half along with their armor.

  "This... is this a death contract?" Qiu Zhen looked at Tang Yin who was half-kneeling on the ground and said with a somewhat stuttering tone.

  Tang Yin turned around and smiled at Qiu Zhen, saying: "You really understand a lot."

  The skill he just used is indeed the Death Contract from the Dark Spirit Martial Arts. The Death Contract and the Death Sacrifice that Yan Lie used before dying are similar skills, except that the former consumes (surname) while the latter sacrifices (surname).

  The Death Contract can only be used on the dead, and it allows the deceased to revive as a dark slave without any emotions, obeying the caster's command. The number of dark slaves summoned, the length of revival time, and their abilities are all related to the caster's own spiritual cultivation.

  Death Contract is a high-level skill in the Dark Spirit Martial Arts, which Tang Yin was unable to use before. However, now that his cultivation has reached the Spiritualization Realm, the spiritual energy within him is abundant and he feels that he can almost use it. He hid behind Gu Yue's back and secretly cast the spell as an experiment. Death Contract is also considered a very vicious skill in Dark Spirit Martial Arts. Even Yan Lixian knew it but had never used it before. Tang Yin was actually just trying to see if he could do it, not expecting that he would actually succeed.

  Five Ning soldiers died and came back to life, but instead of attacking the enemy, they turned on their own comrades. This sudden turn of events caught many Ning soldiers off guard, and with fear in their hearts, the entire camp descended into chaos.

  Gu Yue retreated two steps, gasping for air with his mouth open wide. After catching his breath, he spat out a wad of phlegm and turned to look at Tang Yin, speaking in a stuttering tone: "You...you actually...still know this Dark System Spirit Martial skill!"

  "Haha!" Tang Yin's face was buried under his helmet, and if he hadn't laughed out loud, no one would have known he was smiling.

  He said slowly, "This is nothing, I have many more skills!" After finishing, he looked at Gu Yue for a few moments and said, "Fighting side by side with you for so long, yet I still don't know your name. What's your name?"

  "Old Yue!" Old Yue replied briefly.

  Tang Yin turned his head and looked at Le Tian with a questioning gaze.

  "Good heavens!"

  "Your spiritual cultivation is not bad." Tang Yin paused for a moment, took a deep breath, twisted his neck and said: "It's almost time for us to take the stage again. The five Dark Slaves can only be used to scare people and won't have much effect!"

  Gu Yue and Le Tian looked at each other with bitter smiles.

  They were both seeing the Dark Repair Spirit for the first time, and it wasn't until today that they finally understood how terrifying the Dark System Spirit was. Originally, working with Tang Yin to defend against the enemy should have been a relatively easy task, but unfortunately, the difference in numbers between the two sides was too great, and the battle had become so laborious that they didn't even have time to catch their breath.

  Gu Yue nodded and checked his wounds, confirming that he wasn't seriously injured. Without even bandaging himself, he waved the Ling Knife in his hand and nodded at Tang Yin, saying solemnly: "Let's go!"

  This man is indeed a hero! Tang Yin nodded secretly and burst out laughing, then charged towards the enemy with his sickle knife.
