Chapter 2096

The Dragon Cavalry, with their massive bodies and terrifying impact, threw themselves recklessly at Peng Yun and the others.

At the same time, breaths of death were spewed out one after another, and raging flames instantly ignited between heaven and earth, turning into a sea of fire.

Peng Yun and the others brought out their magic treasures, each employing their own methods for defense.

From the very start of the battle, they had fallen into a passive state of taking a beating!

Legion Commander No. 1 did not idle either. Leading several captains who were also Mid-stage Heavenly Venerates to the very front, he swung his war blade and gave a low shout, "Bone Battle Formation!"

With him leading, the entire Dragon Cavalry Legion swung their war blades simultaneously, forming the Bone Battle Formation.

"Bone Slash!"

The Bone Law surged, and the Bone Battle Formation transformed into a massive war blade. Gathering the power of the entire battle formation, it locked onto Peng Yun and the others.

"Not good, block it quickly!" Peng Yun shrieked. He took out a magic treasure resembling a tortoise shell, which transformed into a shield.

The shield expanded rapidly, covering the surrounding area. The ten people quickly drew close, hiding behind Peng Yun's magic treasure.

The Bone Slash struck the shield, causing a continuous, deafening rumble as numerous cracks instantly spread across the shield.

Peng Yun's face changed drastically. "We can't block it!"

Boom!

In the next second, the shield shattered, and its laws were completely destroyed.

Peng Yun and the others were blown apart on the spot, each of them injured, with Peng Yun suffering the most severe wounds.

He took out a few pills and popped them into his mouth, beginning to recover from his injuries.

Just then, another Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate shouted, "Follow me to break out!"

He took out an umbrella-like magic treasure. The precious umbrella opened, turning into a massive stream of light that charged outward.

Wherever the stream of light passed, the Dragon Cavalry were forced back one after another. Several Heavenly Venerates hid within the stream of light, charging outward along with it.

But the Dragon Cavalry Legion was too numerous. After the precious umbrella knocked aside countless Dragon Cavalry, its speed gradually began to slow down.

The Heavenly Venerate continuously infused his power to maintain the forward momentum.

Finally, the encirclement of the Dragon Cavalry grew thin, and they once again saw the Moon Origin.

This Heavenly Venerate shouted loudly, "We're almost out!"

The spirits of the group were greatly lifted. As long as they could break out of the encirclement, they would be as free as birds in the vast sky.

Legion Commander No. 1 suddenly let out a long howl, and the entire legion instantly moved. The legion's movements surged like waves, and the encirclement showed signs of closing once more.

"We can't let them close it! Break out with all your strength!" Peng Yun shouted loudly. He drew a sharp sword and slashed forward, sending dozens of Dragon Cavalry flying. The other Heavenly Venerates followed suit, launching attacks one after another to clear a path for the precious umbrella.

Finally, they broke out, escaping the encirclement of the Dragon Cavalry Legion.

"Go!"

One of the Heavenly Venerates threw out a flying boat and leaped inside.

But he quickly realized that no one was following him.

Looking up, the Moon Origin that had just appeared was once again shrouded in dark clouds.

Looking closer, those were no dark clouds at all, but an even greater, sky-covering army of the Dragon Cavalry Legion.

Previously, they could still be counted, but this time, they were simply innumerable.

Legion Commander No. 1 had released even more of the Dragon Cavalry Legion, their numbers now exceeding a million. From the sky to the ground, the entire area was densely packed with the Dragon Cavalry Legion.

They had only broken out of a small encirclement, only to fall into an even more massive one.

An emotion called despair began to spread in their hearts.

On the ground, Xiaoyue raised her small head, revealing her slender and fair neck, looking like a beautiful swan.

Xiaoyue cried out in awe, "Master, how can there be so many Dragon Cavalry?"

Before Lin Moyu could speak, Mist shouted loudly, "This is nothing! It's at most a tenth of them. Don't just watch, eat, eat!"

Mist had already prepared a handful of snacks, ready to play her role as a spectator.

Chapter 2531: How Can Living People Be as Obedient as the Dead?

The several Heavenly Venerates from the Qingyun Sect possessed numerous magic treasures, making them much harder to kill than those rogue cultivator Heavenly Venerates.

Their combat strength often surpassed that of rogue cultivator Heavenly Venerates of the same rank.

If Lin Moyu had used the Skeleton King to perform targeted kills, they would have naturally been wiped out long ago.

But having Legion Commander No. 1 conduct an encirclement and annihilation required a bit of effort.

After all, the Dragon Cavalry Legion was more suited for large-scale group warfare. Dealing with only ten Heavenly Venerates made the target too small, feeling a bit like using a cannon to shoot mosquitoes.

Legion Commander No. 1 deployed the Bone Battle Formation once more, and this time, the Bone Battle Formation was even stronger than before.

"Bone Star Sea!"

Legion Commander No. 1 raised his war blade high, unleashing the Bone Star Sea.

In an instant, the entire heaven and earth were enveloped by the Bone Law, which manifested as countless weapons slashing toward Peng Yun and the others.

Peng Yun and the others resisted with all their might, but their bodies still shook.

Peng Yun shouted, "This law attacks the soul!"

One of the Mid-stage Heavenly Venerates took out a triangular battle flag,

"Protect me!"

Several Heavenly Venerates immediately shielded him in the center as he channeled all his power into the battle flag.

His aura plummeted rapidly, and in a short amount of time, most of his power as a Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate was depleted.

However, the triangular battle flag expanded against the wind, instantly becoming incomparably massive.

As the battle flag fluttered, a wild wind suddenly blew, making it difficult for the cavalry to stand firm.

As for that Heavenly Venerate, his power was completely exhausted. He took out several pills and swallowed them, only then recovering slightly.

The battle flag enveloped the surroundings, its invisible power rippling out, preventing the Dragon Cavalry Legion from drawing near.

"A decent treasure!" Lin Moyu looked at the battle flag, sensing that it was not simple.

Legion Commander No. 1 launched continuous fierce attacks against the battle flag, but the defensive barrier it raised was extremely solid, making it difficult to breach for the moment.

The several Heavenly Venerates inside also breathed a sigh of relief, consuming pills one by one to recover.

Lin Moyu knew that relying on Legion Commander No. 1 to wrap things up quickly was likely impossible.

Heavenly Venerates backed by a sect were indeed quite different from those rogue cultivator Heavenly Venerates.

In the Origin Secret Realm, those Heavenly Venerates had died so easily.

Miao Wen and Lian Cheng were able to survive to the end not because of luck, but because of their strength.

The Heavenly Venerates before him had the backing of the Qingyun Sect, a branch of the Seven-Colored Sect, and likewise possessed vast resources. Killing them would require some effort.

Lin Moyu did not want to drag this out any longer, to avoid any complications arising from delay.

With a gentle tap of his finger, the Bone Hell silently unfolded, enveloping the area where the battle flag was located.

Countless Hell Fierce Spirits rushed out and lunged at the battle flag. Upon being blocked, they began to bite and tear at it frantically.

Although the Hell Fierce Spirits were only in the Supreme Realm, they possessed the trait of devouring anything. Even if it was a magic treasure of the Heavenly Venerable Realm, they could still wear it down bit by bit.

From a certain perspective, the Hell Fierce Spirits were even more useful than the higher-realm Dragon Cavalry Legion.

The battle flag remained immobilized there, forced to continuously endure the devouring of the Hell Fierce Spirits.

The Hell Fire River erupted with countless flames, helping the Hell Fierce Spirits consume the battle flag's power.

No matter how strong the battle flag was, its power was ultimately finite. With enough time and patience, it would eventually be worn down.

The faces of the several Heavenly Venerates changed drastically. "What kind of spell is this? I've never seen it before."

"I think this spell looks a bit like the Death lineage of the Northwest Region."

"The power of the battle flag is being worn down; it won't last much longer. Everyone, prepare for battle."

Peng Yun sighed, "I didn't expect the opponent's strength to be this formidable. I miscalculated."

Someone suggested, "Elder Peng Yun, see if you can speak with the opponent again. Let's just treat this as a misunderstanding and let the matter drop."

Peng Yun shook his head slightly, feeling it was highly unlikely.

Although their contact had been brief, he had basically grasped Lin Moyu's temperament.

Lin Moyu was the type of person who either wouldn't act, or if he did, he would fight to the death.

Still, Peng Yun wanted to give it a try. "Fellow Daoist, can we discuss this? It was our mistake this time. If you could show mercy…"

Lin Moyu cut him off directly, his cold voice ringing out, "It's either you die, or I do!"

Mist laughed from the side, "Aren't these people crazy? It's already come to this, and they're still asking for a truce."

The little bull said, "I think Master can take them as slaves."

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Of course I'll take them, but I don't want living people!"

The little bull immediately said, "Niuniu thinks so too! How can living people be as obedient as the dead!"

Mist also chimed in, "Exactly, exactly! How can living people be as obedient as the dead."

Xiaoyue listened in utter confusion, not quite understanding what they meant.

With Peng Yun's words cut short, they knew it was bound to be a fight to the death.

Peng Yun said, "It was my mistake this time. In a moment, I will burn my soul to assist you, junior brothers, in breaking out of the encirclement with all your might."

"If any of us are fortunate enough to escape back, you must report this to the Sect Master and request the elders of the main sect to avenge us."

The others nodded solemnly.

After holding out for ten minutes, the battle flag finally collapsed.

The Hell Fierce Spirits lunged frantically at them. The group acted simultaneously, using their Heavenly Venerate power to forcefully tear apart the Bone Hell.

Tearing it open was fine; although the Bone Hell was shattered, the mark had already been placed.

Lin Moyu flicked a glob of Undying Flame, and one tall, formidable Skeleton King after another emerged from the hellfire, seated upon skeleton thrones.

Xiaoyue's eyes shone like stars. "So amazing!"

Mist explained from the side, "These are called Skeleton Kings, Master's signature spell!"

Lin Moyu summoned a hundred Skeleton Kings. With ten Heavenly Venerates on the opposing side, regardless of strength, each got ten—perfectly fair.

Due to the presence of the Dragon Cavalry Legion, they hadn't noticed the Skeleton Kings at all.

Yet, a profound chill simultaneously rose in their hearts, sensing an impending danger.

"Break out!"

Peng Yun roared. Raging flames ignited across his body as his soul burned furiously, pushing his aura to its absolute peak.

At this moment, Peng Yun's power almost surpassed that of a Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate, reaching straight to a High-level Heavenly Venerable.

At this moment, outside the encirclement, the hundred Skeleton Kings raised their swords simultaneously.

Spell: White Bone God-Slaying!

The Rule World emerged, and the Bone Law poured forth, even stronger than the Bone Law of the Bone Battle Formation.

Sword light lit up on the ten Heavenly Venerates, then exploded.

Their breakout had not even begun before it was declared over, ending with the termination of their lives.

Six low-stage Heavenly Venerates died on the spot. From soul to physical body, they exploded simultaneously within the sword light, with not a single survivor among them.

Even in death, they did not know how they had died or where the attack had come from.

The sudden sword light had taken their lives just like that. Ten thousand years of cultivation ended here, their bodies destroyed and their Dao dissipated.

The remaining four Mid-stage Heavenly Venerates were simultaneously severely wounded, losing their combat capability and left on the verge of death.

With terrified expressions on their faces, they fell to the ground, losing even the ability to fly.

Legion Commander No. 1 withdrew the Dragon Cavalry Legion and knelt before Lin Moyu. "This subordinate failed to complete the mission. Please punish me, Master."

Lin Moyu waved his hand. "Rise. It is not your fault; you did your best."
