Chapter 521: Chapter 517: Defending Guang De District Chapter 521: Chapter 517: Defending Guang De District “Clang… clang…”
At this mont, the sounds of alarms carried over from outside the house, one after the other, in great urgency.
Shen Luo’s face slightly changed, he was well acquainted with these alarm sounds which signified the movents of ghosts, which had happened several tis already within this period.
Indeed, as the thought crossed his mind, the governnt waist tag on his waist lit up with a green light, flashing rapidly.
“Master, is there sothing wrong?” White Star hurriedly asked.
“Yes, I might need your help. Let’s do as we’ve done before.” Shen Luo said, raising his right arm, quickly heading out.
White Star didn’t hesitate, a flash of white light crossing over his body, his figure disappeared, morphing into a white arm guard and fastening onto Shen Luo’s right arm.
Shen Luo swiftly arrived at the Weapon Storage Hall.
The hall was currently clamoring with people, monks from various teams were gathered haphazardly, franticly accepting tasks.
Shen Luo swiftly scanned the hall, spotting He Wenzheng’s figure in a corner along with Zhou ng, Zhao TingSheng, and their subordinates were all already here.
“Brother He, what’s going on? What is our task this ti?” Shen Luo quickly walked over and asked.
“The ghosts have suddenly launched a massive attack. All the districts have been attacked. What’s more, it’s said that these ghosts are different from before, with the addition of many powerful and hard-to-kill zombies. They are very difficult to deal with.” He Wenzheng said with a frown.
“Zombies?” Shen Luo’s gaze flickered.
“Brother Shen, your task this ti round is to go to Guang De district to assist the army there and defend Guang De District.” He Wenzheng quickly added.
Zhou ng at the side trembled upon hearing this, opening his mouth but not voicing his thoughts.
Shen Luo noticed Zhou ng’s reaction, thought for a mont, then nodded at He Wenzheng, “Brother He, rest assured, we will surely complete the task!”
“I am counting on you, Brother Shen.” He Wenzheng said to Shen Luo, then imdiately turned around and left to issue orders to other teams.
“Let’s go.” Seeing this, Shen Luo didn’t linger in the Weapon Storage Hall. He led Zhou ng, Zhao TingSheng, and others outside, down a street towards Guang De district.
Above the street, the inhabitants of each household shut their doors, teams of soldiers vividly dressed in armor and ard with fine weapons were rushing out from the palace, heading to various parts of the city.
Shen Luo was inwardly shaken by the sight.
These soldiers were the Imperial Forest Army guarding the palace. Sending them all out clearly signified the unprecedented scale of this ghost attack. Could it be that the decisive battle has finally arrived?
The faces of the others were also not looking good.
“Daoist Zhou, you seed a bit off when we received the mission. Is there an issue with Guang De District?” Shen Luo asked Zhou ng who was beside him.
Zhao TingSheng also noticed Zhou ng’s peculiar reaction and turned to look at him.
“Although the strength of my Mountain Fist Sect is far inferior to that of Hua Sheng Temple and Mount Putuo, our sect has been in Chang’an City for a long ti and has extensive connections and information. Before I ca to the Weapon Storage Hall, I heard that this ti the ghosts are focusing their attacks on several areas, one of which is Guang De district.” Zhou ng hesitated for a mont before revealing this.
“Knowing how dangerous Guang De district is, why didn’t He Wenzheng warn us? Is he afraid we will be too scared to fight, or does he want to use us as cannon fodder?” Zhao TingSheng asked sowhat angrily.
“Daoist Zhao, watch your words.” Shen Luo frowned and warned in a low voice.
As soon as Zhao TingSheng had spoken, he regretted it and nervously began to fumble with his hands upon hearing Shen Luo’s rebuke.
“Now, our fates are intertwined with Chang’an City. All fellow practitioners must unite to resist the enemy. Mistrust among each other is what we should avoid the most. Officer He is a mber of the Great Tang Dynasty Governnt; surely he wouldn’t sche against us,” Shen Luo stated seriously.
“My apologies, I misspoke!” Zhao TingSheng admitted his mistake in a low voice.
“However, since there are many ghosts in Guang De district, everyone should be extrely careful and not act rashly,” Shen Luo added.
“Yes!” Everyone responded in unison.
The group rode quickly and soon arrived near the Guang De district.
“Quickly! Hold the street entrance! Do not let these Zombies break through!”
“Ah….”
“Help!”
Even when they were still so distance away from the Guang De district, everyone could hear the sounds of intense battles. The situation seed extrely urgent.
The imperial army of the court had already stationed in various parts of the city to resist the ghostly assault. These soldiers might not possess Mana, but the weapons they used were specially created by the Great Tang Dynasty Governnt, allowing them to inflict damage on ghosts.
“I’ll go first to provide support; you all need to catch up quickly!” The crimson sword aura flashed beneath Shen Luo’s feet. Before he could finish his sentence, he had already leapt into the air and shot forward.
He didn’t fly far before his expression changed.
He saw nurous Zombies occupying the streets ahead. Each of them was bloated, appearing much larger than an average person, with pus oozing from their skin. Their appearance was utterly revolting.
Though horrifying to look at, these Zombies had beast-like tusks and sharp claws. They were extrely formidable. Although the soldiers wielded specially crafted weapons, they were still unable to resist. Many areas were on the brink of collapse.
A main road in Guang De district, in particular, was quite spacious but was now filled with countless Zombies charging like a tidal wave. The Tang soldiers who were defending this area had ford a formation, but their defenses were weakening under the endless wave of resilient and tough Zombies. It looked as if their line of defense was about to be broken through.
Shen Luo let out a low shout, and the Pure Yang Sword Embryo beneath his feet darted out, transforming into a red sword rainbow. It shot into the midst of the Zombie army. Accompanied by the furious roars of countless Zombies, it abruptly turned into a chilling red halo, sweeping in all directions like a peacock spreading its tail.
The bodies of the Zombies within the ten-ter radius trembled as they were simultaneously bisected. A stench of putrid blood filled the air.
Shen Luo felt sowhat confused; these Zombies were more fragile than the Zombie ghosts he had faced before, seeming to be strong on the outside yet weak within.
“It’s the Immortal Master!”
“We are saved!”
Upon their close escape from death, the soldiers cheered excitedly.
Shen Luo ignored the soldiers below. He retracted the Pure Yang Sword Embryo and imdiately shot toward another critical area.
At this mont, in the depth of the street occupied by ghosts, the void fluctuated. A silhouette enshrouded in a black robe erged out of nowhere.
“Damn it, we were just one step away from breaking through. Who the hell is getting in our way? Huh? This person is…” the dark silhouette muttered angrily, but upon recognizing Shen Luo, he exclaid in surprise.
“Nu Chuan, what’s going on? We have deployed the maximum force within Guang De district. Why haven’t we breached the defenses here yet?” Two more silhouettes rushed over from the depths of the street.
These two were not in black robes, they were indeed the body refining platform monks whom Shen Luo had engaged with before, Daoist Master Cangmu and Qian Tong.
“Soone is obstructing us. See for yourselves.” The black-robed figure removed her bonnet, revealing a charming face— it was Nu Chuan.
“It’s him!” Both Daoist Master Cangmu and Qian Tong followed Nu Chuan’s gaze, their pupils contracting as they identified Shen Luo.
