Under the night sky, a commotion broke out.
More than a thousand Shura Cavalrymen were galloping toward the City of Soul Lanterns. No one could stop them.
An Yi's strategy was correct. Instead of stopping the Shura Cavalrymen halfway, it was better to concentrate the main force outside the city. This way, there was still hope to stop the Shura Cavalrymen, although the chances were slim.
A streak of fire dyed the sky red.
Su Chen flew over on his Mystic Flame Sword.
Seeing the Shura Cavalrymen on the ground, Su Chen felt his scalp tingle.
These Shura Cavalrymen were extremely violent. Wherever they went, mountains were crushed, forests were turned into plains, and everywhere they went was turned into a hellish scorched earth.
Not only were there many of them, but the individual strength of these Shura Cavalrymen was also very shocking. Although they were ghosts, their soul power fluctuations were not inferior to those of Immortal Tribulation experts. Moreover, their spiritual bodies contained a strong fighting spirit.
This was the characteristic of the Shura Clan. In ancient times, the Shura Clan was also known as the Clan of War. All Shuras were born with powerful fighting talents and fighting instincts. It could be said that they were born as powerful warriors.
More than a thousand Immortal Tribulation Shura Cavalrymen … Even Su Chen felt a lot of pressure.
With his strength and without the aid of external items, he could easily defend himself against the Shura cavalry. However, it would be extremely difficult for him to defeat this group of Shura cavalry.
However, with Su Xiaoyao by his side, Su Chen did not have to worry so much.
Su Xiaoyao was already rubbing her hands together. "Daddy, can I make a move now?"
"No hurry. Let me play for a while."
Su Chen also had a fighting spirit in his bones. He had not fought for a long time and was itching for a fight.
Besides, he had just obtained a powerful Dharma treasure like the Mystic Flame Sword. Su Chen wanted to test the sword's true power in a real battle.
In fact, facing such a large number of enemies, the Fiery Dragon Battle Saber might be more effective. If he could use the Fiery Dragon Roar, he might be able to wipe out this group of Shura Cavalrymen.
Although it would be cool, it was not very nutritious.
Anyway, now that Su Chen was winning, of course, he had to play with them.
"Daddy, look. This is strange. Aren't these Shura Cavalrymen heading for the City of Soul Lanterns? Why do they seem to be heading in our direction?" Su Xiaoyao suddenly asked.
Su Chen took a closer look and indeed noticed this problem.
Originally, the Shura Cavalry had been charging in a straight line towards the City of Soul Lanterns without any deviation.
However, as soon as Su and Su Xiaoyao arrived, Su Chen and Su Xiaoyao's direction. the Shura Cavalrymen's route.
Was it a coincidence?
Su Chen was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he teleported to the other side with Su Xiaoyao.
At the same time, the Shura Cavalry's marching route turned directly towards Su Chen's new base.
This …
Could it be that the Shura cavalry's target wasn't the City of Soul Lanterns, but him?
But what did he have to do with the Shura Cavalry?
Wait.
Su Chen suddenly thought of something and summoned his soul lamp, which had already lost its luster.
"Daddy …"
Su Xiaoyao instinctively shrank back. She was still instinctively afraid of Soul Lanterns, but now that the Soul Lantern was dim, it didn't react to her.
Su Chen patted her head. "It's okay. It won't hurt you."
Su Xiaoyao gradually calmed down after being comforted by Su Chen. She gathered her courage and looked at the Soul Lantern. "I'm not afraid," she said proudly.
"Good girl."
Su Chen wrapped the Soul Lantern with runes and released it.
As expected, the Shura Cavalrymen turned toward the Soul Lanterns.
Their target was the Soul Lanterns.
After all this time, the wandering souls and the Shura Cavalrymen weren't attacking the City of Soul Lanterns at all. They were attracted by Su Chen's Soul Lanterns.
So I'm the culprit.
Su Chen was more curious about why the Shura Cavalrymen were interested in the Soul Lanterns.
Shouldn't they be afraid of the Soul Lanterns?
If they encountered a Soul Lantern, they should be running away as fast as they could, so why were they rushing over like moths to a flame?
Even though the soul lamp was dim, it was still a top-tier holy weapon. Even if it didn't glow, it could still be used as a hammer and none of the Shura Cavalrymen would be able to withstand it.
Hmm?
This might actually be a pretty good method of attack.
Even if a top-tier Holy Weapon like the Soul Lantern had lost its power, it was still sturdy enough to be used as an attack weapon. Perhaps it would have a different effect. Plus, there was no need to worry about wear and tear. If a top-tier Holy Weapon was so easily damaged, it wouldn't be top-tier.
Su Chen couldn't resist the temptation. He decided to use the Soul Lantern as a hammer to test it out.
The runes moved. Under Su Chen's guidance, the Soul Lantern drew a parabola in the air and smashed toward the Shura Cavalrymen.
Bam!
One of the Shura Cavalrymen was hit directly. The Soul Lantern pierced through its armor and crushed the Shura Cavalryman's soul into countless pieces.
Su Chen was overjoyed. The effect was better than he expected.
This was just a normal attack. Su Chen didn't use much strength. He relied entirely on the Soul Lantern's material to deal damage.
The effect was gratifying.
At this moment, Su Chen suddenly realized that the Shura Cavalryman had turned into a wisp of soul power and was being devoured by the Soul Lantern.
The Soul Lantern could devour soul power on its own?
This was a very unexpected discovery.
At this moment, the other Shura Cavalrymen surrounded the Soul Lantern. Seeing this, Su Chen stirred the runes. The Soul Lantern spun violently like a spinning top. As soon as the Shura Cavalrymen touched the Soul Lantern, they were torn to pieces by the powerful spinning speed.
Even so, the Shura Cavalrymen were still flying toward the Soul Lantern like moths to a flame.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of Shura Cavalrymen were crushed to pieces. After absorbing the soul power of these Shura Cavalrymen, Su Chen could vaguely feel that the Soul Lantern's power seemed to be recovering.
However, the Soul Lantern's power had been suppressed too much by Su Chen. It wouldn't be easy for it to fully recover.
But since the Soul Lantern could devour the soul power of these Shura Cavalrymen, it meant that there was hope for the Soul Lantern to recover. He just had to kill more of them.
Su Chen was having a lot of fun. Su Xiaoyao couldn't stand it. "Daddy, don't kill them all. I want to play too."
Su Chen smiled. "Then let's see who can kill more Shura Cavalrymen."
"Okay, okay. If Xiaoyao wins, daddy has to cook grilled fish for me. Daddy's grilled fish is the best in the world. Xiaoyao can't help but drool just thinking about it."
"You little glutton. Okay, daddy agrees. Let's start the competition."
