……

Not long after, noises also came from the huge tunnel entrances on the left and right sides.

The Ximen family's group emerged, led by an old man with a dignified and cold expression, wielding a fiery red longsword. It was none other than Ximen Wenye, who was at level eighty-three!

The sword spirit masters from the Ximen family behind him all had eyes like lightning, and their soul power was sharp and intimidating.

Almost simultaneously, the Yang family's group arrived, led by an eighty-two-year-old man named Yang Zhicheng, who was tall, had clear eyes, and held a longbow that shimmered with light.

The arrival of the two countries instantly boosted the morale of the allied forces.

Shortly after, Ma Zhibin, along with about thirty flying soul masters from the Ma family, also flew out from the tunnel behind the Yang family's group.

Most of them possess bird-like martial souls, with varying feathers. Although most are branches of the Nine Heavens Phoenix, the fact that they can gather thirty flying soul masters already makes them a considerable mobile force.

The Ma family doesn't have many people in Tiandou City. They even sent about 20 people to help the Li family block reinforcements.

Looking at the assembled elite troops, Zhu Yanfeng felt a surge of pride and said to Chen Zhang, "Fifth Master, alright, everyone's here! Shall we get to work?"

Chen Zhang nodded and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Wenye, Uncle Zhicheng, Zhibin, shall we begin?"

All three men had solemn expressions and nodded heavily. The flaming longsword on Ximen Wenye's back emitted a low hum.

"Action!" Chen Zhang gave the order.

Zhu Yanfeng roared, and his seventh spirit ring suddenly lit up. In an instant, he transformed into a rock giant tens of meters tall, his Martial Spirit True Form!
With a wave of his massive rocky arm, a huge, thick, earthen-yellow stone armor shield, as heavy as a city wall, materialized out of thin air and charged forward, rumbling towards the main gate of the castle.

Behind him, Zhu Changyun and other defensive-type Soul Masters followed closely, releasing shield skills one after another, layering them to form an unbreakable mobile defensive line.

Following closely behind the defensive type were the Ximen family's sword spirit masters, led by Ximen Wenye, whose swords surged with soul power like volcanoes about to erupt!

Qin Luguang, Yang Guisan, Ding Bingming, and other offensive-type battle spirit masters from the Chen family, as well as close-combat spirit masters from the Yang family with the Seven Absolute Bows, were also poised to attack, their killing intent palpable.

On the flanks and perimeter of the battle formation, agility-based Soul Masters moved like ghosts, ready to tear apart the enemy's weak points at any moment.

Further back was a control-type soul master group composed of the Chen family, the Yang family, and the Ximen family. Most of them were plant-type control soul masters, with their soul skills such as vines, thorns, and spores gleaming. Xia Yun was the leader.

Further back, Jian Hezhi directed the support-type Soul Masters to buff the entire allied forces, with halos, shields, and light-body techniques illuminating the area.

However, it was not melee combat that first heralded the destruction!
Yang Zhicheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the Seven Absolute Bow in his hand burst forth with a dazzling seven-colored light!

He let out a long roar: "Young men of the Yang family! A thousand arrows pierce the clouds!"

The archery-type Soul Masters behind him, regardless of the attribute of their Martial Souls, all unleashed astonishing auras at this moment, activating the Yang family's secret techniques. The bowstrings rang out like thunder, and countless streams of light tore through the darkness of the underground space.

The next instant, a dark, dazzling yet deadly rain of arrows obscured the "underground sky".

Tens of thousands of arrows converged into a torrent of death: golden arrows were incomparably sharp, wooden arrows were entangled in thorns, water arrows were chillingly cold, fire arrows were raging with flames, earthen arrows were powerful and heavy, wind arrows were as swift as lightning, and thunder arrows roared with thunder.

Arrows of various attributes intertwined, forming a devastating waterfall of light that pierced the air with a piercing shriek as it crashed down upon Ironjaw Fortress hundreds of meters away.

Boom! Boom! Rumble! Rumble—!!!
The unprecedentedly violent explosion shook the entire underground cavity, and a rain of arrows precisely covered the gate area and its surrounding defensive facilities.

The towering arrow towers were blasted to pieces like rotten wood; the massive catapults were overturned and torn apart; the heavy metal-framed gates twisted and deformed under the ravages of flames and thunder, emitting a sickening groan; the soul-guided crossbows positioned on the walls were uprooted before they could even unleash their power... Gravel, wood chips, and metal fragments mixed with flames shot into the sky, billowing thick smoke. On the walls, the fierce bandits of the Bone-Digging Gang, who had been waiting in full battle array, were instantly annihilated.

They fell in droves under the dazzling yet deadly rain of arrows, like harvested wheat.

The piercing screams, terrified cries, the booming of explosions, and the deafening roar of collapsing buildings mingled together, echoing through the sky.

The once impregnable defense system was instantly torn open with a huge, bloody gash by this round of terrifying long-range attacks.

Just as the rain of arrows fell, and chaos reigned at the gates, with dust still rising—

"Pilot, follow me! Cut off reinforcements!"

Ma Zhibin let out a sharp shout, and a pair of magnificent phoenix wings wreathed in flames unfurled behind him as he soared into the sky!

Behind him were about fifty flying soul masters from the Chen and Yang families, who flapped their wings and sped away, leaving dozens of colorful flight trails that cut through the dust-filled battlefield and headed straight for Ironjaw Fortress.

Instead of directly attacking the gate, they precisely positioned themselves above the main passageway leading from the inside of the gate to the core area of ​​the fortress.

A barrage of fierce soul skills—wind blades, fireballs, ice spikes, and feather arrows—slammed down like hailstones onto the Bone-Digging Gang bandits below who were trying to rush towards the breach in the village gate to reinforce them.

At the same time, they skillfully evaded the sporadic counterattacks below, relentlessly pouring the chaotic flames into the interior of the fortress.

Soon, the Bone Digging Squad's flying Soul Masters took off and pounced, while ranged attacks from below arrived at the same time.

"kill--!!!"

Below, the main ground force, under the cover of the huge stone armor shield of Zhu Yanfeng's martial spirit true form, had begun to launch an uphill attack on the village gate, which was already teetering on the brink of collapse.

The surviving members of the Bone-Digging Team, still in shock, could only rely on their remaining willpower to frantically hurl down the remaining, not-yet-completely-destroyed weapons and logs and boulders in an attempt to prevent the Allied forces from getting closer.

"Those who block my way shall die!" A thunderous shout drowned out all other noises.

Suddenly, a blood-red shadow leaped up from behind Zhu Yanfeng's giant shield; it was Qin Luguang!

While he was in mid-air, the sixth spirit ring of his Blood Shadow Demon Spear shone brightly—"Sixth Spirit Skill: Crimson Tassel Storm!"

The gun spun at high speed, carrying a dense aura of bloodlust, transforming into a spiraling storm of spear shadow that tore through space, and fiercely slammed into the Bone-Digging Gang members who were still putting up a last-ditch resistance at the breach in the gate!

Immediately following, Yang Guisan's Soul-Shattering Spear also erupted with a blood-red light, and his fifth soul skill "Shatter" was activated!
Hundreds of highly refined energy spear shadows, like a rain of pear blossoms, accurately struck the gaps in the defensive line torn open by the storm spear shadows.

At this chaotic moment, Ximen Wenye, who had remained as calm as a mountain, finally made his move.

His Karmic Fire Demon Blade instantly ignited with raging karmic flames, radiating a terrifying pressure that could burn away the entire world.

He gripped the sword with both hands and, facing the heavily damaged gate and the chaotic defenses behind it, unleashed a fierce strike—"Karmic Fire Crimson Lotus Slash!"

A massive blade of karmic fire, formed from hellish red lotus flames, tore through the sky, distorting and burning the air wherever it passed.

The blade of light slammed violently into the already overburdened gate.

boom--!!!!!!!!!
With a deafening roar, the massive metal-framed gate, a symbol of the Bone-Digging Gang's prestige and defensive core, along with a long section of the city wall behind it, was utterly shattered, melted, and collapsed like paper under the unparalleled sharpness and extreme heat of the Karmic Fire Crimson Lotus Slash.

A huge, blazing gaping hole appeared menacingly on the front of Ironjaw Fortress.

Rolling heat waves and smoke, carrying scraps of iron, broken wood, and charred remains of limbs, surged into the fortress!
