Chapter 987: Shocking the Battlefield

Zhang Lie blinked. "You can communicate with this monster?"

Wilbow asked, "Aren't you more curious about the fact that these night growlers are intelligent?

The frost spirit commander took a step back and looked at the two commanders. "Don't you think we're focusing on the wrong issue here? Shouldn't we be more worried about our allies' forces?"

Zhang Lie gave the frost spirit commander a thumbs up. "Quite so!"

Wilbow nodded. "Indeed, that should be our priority."

Zhang Lie turned to him. "What should we do, then?"

The frost spirit commander spread his arms. "What do you mean? We have to help them out, of course!"

"That's reasonable." Zhang Lie and Wilbow simultaneously nodded.

The frost spirit commander glanced at both Zhang Lie and Wilbow. "Neither of you seem all too concerned..."

"Well..." Zhang Lie and Wilbow glanced at each other.

Wilbow gestured politely. "Please, you may go first."

Zhang Lie replied, "As the son of the king of keys, you should begin."

Wilbow waved his hands. "I insist! Please take the lead."

The answer was very straightforward: they weren't the ones who were surrounded by death spirits, and they didn't much care about the forces associated with the king of evil and the decaying king.

The frost spirit commander broke them both off. "Enough! We have to set off immediately."

"Indeed, that's sensible!" Zhang Lie and Wilbow simultaneously nodded.

The frost spirit commander turned to Nightdemon. "Nightdemon, may I ask where these forces currently are?"

"It'll lead us there." Nightdemon pointed at the night growler.

The night growler quickly led them to the scene of the battle, whereupon they saw the besieged troops.

A huge death spirit battleship floated in the air. If their ordinary battleships were the size of skyscrapers, this one was the size of a small city. Watching it float was a breathtaking spectacle. Surrounding it were large numbers of ordinary octahedral battleships, like buildings that formed the city.

The battleships were surrounding the forces of the king of evil and the decaying king and attacking them in a one-sided fashion.

Although the coffin-carrier was extremely strong in one-on-one combat, even it was unable to do much against the violet lasers that came at the forces like raindrops in a storm. The moment a bone giant formed from the sea of bones that the decaying king controlled, it was obliterated by a fusillade of purple lasers.

Nightdemon frowned. "That huge battleship is the flagship of the death spirits' forces. The death spirit king is in it, I'm certain."

Zhang Lie was shocked. "Is the death spirit king that easy to rouse to action?"

Nightdemon replied, "As far as I'm aware, the death spirits have funneled all their resources into their king. They likely don't have anything to spare on making another death spirit on the level of a superior king.

"In other words, if we can smoke the death spirit king out of his battleship and kill him, we'll have won the war." Zhang Lie's eyes glowed—this was a chance to end the conflict immediately!

A voice announced from the death spirit king's battleship: "Your resistance is futile. The other allied forces won't be coming to help you. They've already fallen into our trap, and they're likely all dead by now."

The aliens who accompanied the corpse-carrier were shocked. "What?!"

The voice from the battleship taunted, "None of you expected it, did you? The blood demons allied with us long ago. In order to deal with you allied forces, we've laid out a trap that can kill even the strongest superior king."

The aliens grew even more astounded. The blood demons, who had had their world destroyed by the death spirits, were traitors that were loyal to them?!

One alien shouted, "No, that's impossible! This is clearly something the death spirits have made up to lower our morale! We can't be tricked!"

The voice from the battleship chuckled coldly. "Whether or not I'm lying, I think all of you know full well. Why haven't the allied forces arrived yet? It's because they can't—they're dead."

The frost spirit commander called out, "Our allies are losing morale quickly. Aren't we going to strike now?"

Zhang Lie nodded. "We'll strike immediately."

Nightdemon laughed. "Didn't they claim that we were dead?"

Wilbow smiled. "We'll show them that we've returned from the dead, then."

The frost spirit commander called out, "Everyone, charge forward!"

Zhang Lie and Wilbow simultaneously gave the same order as the allied forces charged.

The space around Zhang Lie trembled as blue genetic energy gathered and rippled around his arms.

With a twist of his wrist, a frightening aura descended on the world. The skies began to darken, and a fish the size of a whale materialized in the air. A howling gale swept over the battlefield. As more and more genetic energy gathered around Zhang Lie's arms, it looked as though he were at the heart of a whirlpool.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Soar]!" A huge wave soared into the air. As Zhang Lie punched forward, the fish slammed its huge tail on the ground and sent a torrent of water surging into the air. Ripples of energy spread out from Zhang Lie, warping the space around him. The towering waves looked like enraged black dragons, flooding the battlefield.

An ocean materialized out of thin air. Waves surged forward, sounding like peals of thunder, like a herd of horses galloping. They smashed into the death spirits' encirclement and sent many of their battleships careening into the ground.

A huge rumble shook the heavens, and the entire battlefield quaked. The explosion shattered space and sent waves of force rippling all around it. The death spirits' battleships exploded in violet ?fireballs.

The explosion of energy was like a ravenous beast that swallowed up all life in its vicinity. Huge boulders were sent flying, and large quantities of the death spirits with them. Like long bolts of cloth fed into a washing machine, their bodies twisted and contorted, then were torn to pieces.

By brute force, the colossal blue waves created a gap in the death spirits' encirclement, shocking them all. None of them had been prepared for the sudden attack that seemed to have come out of nowhere.

Their first thought was that there were more allied forces and reinforcements than they had expected, not that the blood lord had failed. From their perspective, the blood lord's plan had been flawless—and they certainly didn't suspect that Zhang Lie and the others would be able to break free from the trap easily.

Subsequently, the other commanders of the allied forces made their move.

The frost spirit commander unleashed his technique, manifesting a blizzard on the battlefield. The temperature dropped rapidly as a layer of frost formed across the ground. As he howled, the frost spirits' soul-chilling cries swept over the battlefield.
