Chapter Two Hundred and Eighty Eight Fight! (2/2)
Countless hard lightning bolts gathered like a silver flood.
It was too fast!
The Outer Hall xiuzhe felt their vision fill with light and were extremely shocked. Before they could react, they felt they had been heavily struck by something.
The two opposing waves collided without any finesse!
Pia pia pia!
The rattle of collisions was like a rushed drum beat. The xiuzhe at the front that were pierced lost control and their speed dipped. The xiuzhe in the back did not have to the time to slow, and could only stare as they crashed.
More than one thousand people instantly turned to a mess!
The hard lightning had arrived so rapidly, no one was able to dodge in time. As their speed had been pushed to their maximum, they did not have the energy to do any other action at this time.
“Charge over! Charge over!” the elders shouted at the top of their lungs. Their faces were slightly pale.
“Charge … …”
An elder’s shout suddenly stopped. Five bolts of hard lightning hit his ling shield at the same time. The fourth-grade ling armor broke. He was torn to pieces by the powerful force.
The power of hard lightning was clearly displayed at this moment. Normal third-grade ling armor could not stop it. It would frequently penetrate through one xiuzhe, and the hard lightning would still have enough energy to strike the ling shield of a second xiuzhe.
The thirty six formation battle watchtowers had all concentrated their shots in an area no wider than ten zhang, and didn’t give any space to dodge.
This attack came so suddenly and ferociously that the Outer Hall xiuzhe were dumbstruck.
The thirty six formation battle watchtowers had also become chaotic at this time.
“Don’t keep ling power back, do not aim at a target. Quick, with all possible speed!”
“Faster, faster! Next rotation!”
“Good, go!”
Several people were to assigned to a team that would shoot out as much hard lightning in the shortest time possible before instantly flying away. Then the next team that had already prepared would rush to the set positions and take over in a cycle.
Hard lightning continuously flew out from the formation battle watchtowers, and smashed into the ranks of the Outer Hall that had squeezed into a ball.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the Outer Hall had fallen, leaving slightly more than five hundred people.
Second Elder had been struck dumb by this round of fierce attacks. However, he truly was a character, and knew that the situation had reached its most dangerous moment. At this time, he couldn’t spare the effort for anything else, and took out all the defensive talismans he had
Several layers of ling shield appeared on his body. His eyes red, he suddenly charged to the very front. “Kill!”
He was like a wild beast being backed into a precipice!
If he lost this battle, there would be no place for him in the Outer Hall.
The hard lightning hit his ling shield. Pia, one ling shield broke, a talisman on his body broke. He ignored it, and did not slow down.
As Second Elder led the attack, the morale was instantly boosted. Everyone crazily charged towards Golden Crow City!
At this time, there were less than five hundred people left so they were not as tightly arranged as they had been. Adding on they deliberately spreading out, the situation instantly turned for the better. The response from Golden Crow City was half a beat slower, and their accuracy rate lowered drastically.
The Outer Hall xiuzhe took the opportunity to get even closer.
Three li!
At this time, they had already entered the attack range of the xiuzhe. The remaining Outer Hall xiuzhe were even more excited! Even though there were less than three hundred people remaining, but everyone believed that they other’s moves had all been used. They were only one step away from conquering Golden Crow City!
The flying swords they had already prepared were going to be sent out.

Sitting on a lucky cloud, Zuo Mo sighed inside. The skill level of the Eastern and Western Camps were still lacking when compared to Vermillion Bird Camp. When the enemy had suddenly scattered just now, their rhythm instantly stumbled. More than half of the hard lightning had missed. If the rhythm hadn’t stumbled, the enemy fatalities would be another one hundred people.
However, he also knew this was the necessary learning process.
This string of changes dazzled the eyes of the spectators. They almost forgot to breathe. From the Outer Hall’s confident charge, everyone had thought that Golden Crow City was finished. But the battle situation was completely unexpected. The brief pauses of Golden Crow City’s defenses had clearly been planned. That was just a trap dug for the Outer Hall.
When the hard lightning flood and the xiuzhe flood smashed together, everyone’s minds went blank.
They lost the ability to think. They could only gape as they watched the collision, such a magnificent yet cruel scene! A brutal yet tragically beautiful scene!
Then they watched as Second Elder went to charge at the front, the Outer Hall xiuzhe furiously charging towards Golden Crow City. The presence of the remaining hundred people suddenly became savage. Everyone was dumbstruck where they stood and inhaled sharply.
They watched as Second Elder led his people to within a li of Golden Crow City, there was only one thought in everyone’s mind. Golden Crow City was finished!
But just at this time, in the sky above Golden Crow City, the very center of everyone’s attention, the young person sitting on a lucky cloud moved.
He stood up.

This is the first time attack ranges of swords are mentioned but it is rational to expect that the energy in a sword strike would dissipate over long distances. Zuo Mo’s souped up battle formation towers are pretty deadly and WanderingGummiOfDoom said this was trench warfare like the world wars.
