Chapter 407 Sieging the city
Seeing that Liu Mei's skeletons were less than a mile away from the small city and were heading towards the city gates without stopping, the disciples that were staring at this scene from the distance had disbelieving looks on their faces, almost unable to believe what they were seeing
''Is she crazy? Does she really intend to siege the city by herself?''
''Maybe... she has 1000 of those skeletons, as well as 50 of those knights in black armor and that huge ugly beast... perhaps it's not impossible?''
A young man in red robes chuckled when he heard this, and looking at Liu Mei who was confidently storming the city, he said in a mocking tone
''Hehe, it is indeed not impossible for her to succeed in killing those dogs with that army of hers as well as that beast she is riding on, but even if she manages to kill them all, she is doomed to suffer even if she somehow survives!
It's only a matter of time until she attracts the attention of one of the peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators who will come and take care of her.
After all, even though those scum on top of the city walls are only at the late-stages of the Spirit realm and the rank 1 of the Nascent Soul stage, they are still useful as guard dogs. There is no way that those idiots inside the city will allow their own dogs to be killed like that.''
Serious expressions appeared on those disciples' faces when they heard the red-robed young man's words.
This person was the only peak rank 3 Nascent Soul expert in this group of disciples and he was also the one who had led the attack in this city half a day ago.
However, not only was the number of disciples in this group much smaller than the alliance that Shun Long and the golden-robed young man were in, but this city also had 3 peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage experts hidden inside it as well.
The moment that this red-robed man's group found out about this, they immediately turned around and fled, not daring to siege the city any longer.
As a single peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator, he had no confidence in fighting against 3 other cultivators at the same level all by himself!
And yet, he wasn't anxious about taking the Holy sect's token either, neither was he afraid of Liu Mei taking it by herself.
Let alone the fact that a single peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator could easily take care of her and her undead army by himself, Liu Mei could actually be useful to him if she ended up killing even half of the 'criminals' who were standing guard on the city walls!
That way, his own alliance would face less resistance in the future and would be able to conquer the city with greater ease.
As for the second reason why the red-robed young man wasn't anxious, was because he already knew, that sooner or later, some more rank 3 Nascent Soul stage experts would come here from the nearby cities.
After all, there were only 1000 tokens of the Holy sect, and far more than simply 1000 peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage experts, let alone those who were in the early and the middle of rank 3 as well.
Once the tokens from the nearby cities were obtained, this city would also become those people's target as well.
Although the competition would be much fiercer then, but he already knew that it was impossible for him to obtain the Holy sect's token in this city by himself.
At the same time that these thoughts flashed through the red-robed young man's mind, Liu Mei's undead army had already arrived just a few hundred meters away from the city walls.
At that moment, a peak rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator who was standing on the walls stared at Liu Mei's army that was moving towards the city before he shouted loudly
''Attack!''
The moment that his voice resounded in the air, an endless barrage of attacks exploded from the cultivators on top of the city walls.
One thousand late-stage Spirit realm cultivators as well as rank 1 Nascent Soul stage experts, all launched out their attacks at the same time, blocking out the sky and leaving Liu Mei's army no room for retreat!
One by one, the skeletons that had no way to protect themselves started to break down into countless pieces, as they faced the endless barrage of attacks that bombarded them without stop.
And yet, despite the fact that dozens of them were being destroyed at every wave of attacks, the army of 1000 jade-white skeletons still continued to move forward towards the city walls.
As for Liu Mei's undead knights, they were much more resilient than the skeletons.
Although the attacks of the one thousand cultivators on the city walls were numerous and without end, there were also a thousand skeletons in Liu Mei's army as well, forcing them to spread out their range of attacks in order to hit all of the skeletons, thus causing the undead knights to not face too much difficulty in the process.
Although a handful of the undead knights were 'killed', the rest of them only had superficial injuries, while most attacks didn't even manage to pierce through their black armors.
After all, more than half of the criminals on top of the city walls were late-stage Spirit realm cultivators.
In front of the rank 1 Nascent Soul stage undead knights, their attacks couldn't be considered anything more than average!
Although these attacks could definitely destroy the skeletons who were much weaker individually and were only at the peak of rank 9 in the Spirit realm, the undead knights that had already advanced into the Nascent Soul stage were on a completely different level.
However, the one who had it the easiest was actually the Death eater and Liu Mei who was sitting on its back.
This terrifying beast opened its mouth, and easily swallowed the attacks that came its way, almost as if it was having a meal!
It didn't matter if they were flame arrows, huge stone rocks or ice shards, or if they came from the late-stage Spirit realm cultivators or from early rank 1 Nascent Soul stage ones, all of them were swallowed without any problem, as they entered the Death eater's mouth and disappeared without leaving behind any traces!
As for the attacks of the middle rank 1 Nascent Soul stage experts, although they fell upon the Death eater's massive body, they failed to cause any damage to the enormous beast who then completely ignored them.
Only the attacks of the few peak rank 1 Nascent Soul stage experts seemed to be able to penetrate through its body, causing the massive beast to consciously avoid them!
In just a few moments, the enormous Death eater had arrived right in front of the city walls, along with Liu Mei's remaining army, as it stared at the cultivators on top of the walls with a hungry look in its eyes!
