The sun gradually sank into the ground.
Jiangning, as usual, entered night mode.
The neon lights flickered; families also began to rest.
The fireworks show in the eastern part of the city had entered its countdown.
The crowded venue was packed with hundreds of thousands of spectators.
Although the sudden fireworks display was a bit strange, no one pursued the reason behind it.
All were just waiting for the fireworks to soar into the sky and illuminate the stars.
But at this mont, on the western outskirts of the city, not far from that torch-like building,
everyone was also waiting for the unusual event to occur.
Lin Fan watched the full moon in the sky, and his expression also grew tense.
"Lin Fan, do you think everything will go smoothly tonight?"
Xu Zhi Rou walked up to Lin Fan, her eyes fixed on the moon as she spoke, slightly nervous.
"Of course, a civilization that has persisted for five thousand years relies on the sacrificial struggles of courageous generations."
Lin Fan responded with a light smile, "Regardless of the outco, we will fight to the last drop of blood."
"Don’t always talk about n; we won are just as valiant!"
Zhao Jiaqi pouted with a look of disdain.
"Right, right, you won are formidable too."
Lin Fan replied with a wry smile, knowing these won were each unafraid of death.
The night breeze was cool, but no one spoke again.
The silence was so profound that it felt like being strangled.
"Snap!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound ca from afar.
Everyone imdiately looked towards the source of the noise.
The area to the north of the city was already lit up by fireworks.
The colorful fireworks show had officially begun.
However, nobody knew what was happening over here.
"It’s started!"
No sooner had the Divine Emperor called out, everyone hurriedly turned their heads back.
Not far away, the lights on that building suddenly flared up.
With hundreds of spotlights rising into the sky, they ford a pillar of light.
The Onmyoji, who had been absent for three days, finally made their move.
"Just a column of light, what’s so special about that?"
Zhao Jiaqi had waited a long ti without seeing any other changes and couldn’t help feeling discouraged, not understanding the purpose of the light pillar.
"This is just the beginning; the real show hasn’t even started yet."
Lin Fan said, frowning.
Though nothing was visible at the mont,
he could still feel a mysterious energy surging out from within the column of light.
"Roar!"
Just as everyone held their breath and concentrated, a roar resembling that of a tiger and dragon arose.
The sound didn’t originate from the column of light, but rather seed to co from underground.
At the sa ti, everyone felt the ground tremble slightly under their feet.
"The earth veins are broken!"
Zhao Jiaqi’s face changed.
The enemy’s Formation base was built upon the earth veins.
This dragon roar signified that the veins beneath had been breached.
With the suppression of the dragon’s energy gone, this land would be entirely different from before.
"Look, the moon!"
Xu Zhi Rou’s words made everyone hastily look up.
At that mont, the once bright moonlight had turned blood-red.
It was like a giant bloodshot eye, staring down at everyone.
"Roar, roar, roar..."
As the blood-red moon appeared, a series of roars ca from the column of light.
Imdiately following, a swarm of flies the size of fists charged out first.
Their bodies were dark and their shapes, bizarre.
Especially those sharp teeth with fangs, which were truly chilling.
This was the first wave of the Blood Moon’s attack.
"All units be advised, open fire imdiately!"
These creatures were rely the lower ranks of the demons.
Following the Divine Emperor’s order, the concealed modern weapons in the vicinity fired almost at the sa ti.
The rocket propelled grenades, trailing smoke, were fired into the light column as if they cost nothing.
"Why haven’t they co out!"
Watching wave after wave of rockets bore into the light pillar.
Yet none seed to penetrate through, which made Xu Zhi Rou feel puzzled.
After all, the light pillar was only a hundred ters away, far less than the range of the rockets.
"This is no longer as simple as a light pillar; you can think of it as a door to another space. Those high-explosive bombs have already detonated in a different dinsion,"
Lin Fan frowned, watching that light pillar enveloped by various shells.
After one round of attacks, the force inside did not diminish, but rather, it continued to grow.
Moreover, there were more and more of them, only hindered from charging out due to the explosions.
"Second round of saturation attack, launch!"
As the first round of rockets finished firing, the Divine Emperor had already issued the second round of attack commands.
This indiscriminate barrage was fired into the column of light once again.
The dense artillery fire should have been deafening.
But those standing hundreds of ters away only heard the whizzing sound at the mont of launch.
The heavy firepower poured down, enough to bring down a mountain.
"Third round, fire!"
Almost at the instant when the second round ceased, the third round of saturation strikes appeared again.
But at that very mont, it seed as if people could see a group of heads erging from the light column.
Those heads, neither human nor beast, were grotesque and varied.
But each one was as large as a room.
Fortunately, those who had just peeked their heads out were hit by the dense artillery and forced back.
"What in the world are these things!"
Just one glance and Xu Zhi Rou felt she would never forget that terrifying scene for the rest of her life.
"The monsters summoned by the Onmyojis are not of this dinsion. Previously, you could understand it as them using special sorcery to summon so small monsters to join the battle. But this ti, the grand Formation will tear open a much larger gap in that space. What used to be a dog hole has now beco a giant door, thus what cos out will no longer be those insignificant little creatures."
Lin Fan rubbed his chin, the strength of the aura just now was comparable to the scabies tiger they had encountered earlier.
He also wondered whether there would be stronger monsters inside.
"If these Woguo people succeed, all the civilians within the grand Formation will truly be slaughtered."
Zhao Jiaqi’s back was already covered in cold sweat.
If this Formation were not broken, it wouldn’t just be Jiangning at stake.
The entire region would beco hell.
"Don’t worry, no matter how fierce the monsters are, they can’t stand against the passion of our fighting spirit. In this battle, we have no choice but victory!"
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, looking at the light pillar covered in firepower.
But in his heart, he had a feeling.
The Woguo people wouldn’t be so careless.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
The tongues of fire roared, and a thousand cannons thundered in unison.
The fireworks show in the east of the city had reached its climax.
anwhile, the third round of the artillery barrage was almost at an end.
At that mont, a streak of light shot from afar.
"Gentlen, follow to exterminate these Woguo rats!"
Within the light, the old Heavenly Master, charged with heavenly qi, descended like a Heavenly God.
He instantly charged into the light column.
"Follow the old Heavenly Master to vanquish demons and uphold the way!"
The Divine Emperor, Dragon Emperor, and Human Emperor followed closely, not wanting to fall behind as they charged into it.
Then, more than a dozen top experts from the Tiger Ranking also joined the fray.
With their entry, the battle truly comnced.
