The Charm of Soul Pets (WN)
chapter-1583

“What’s going on? Who asked them to stop?” roared Ning Family aerial army’s commander.

“Commander, they...... they seem to have died,” said an Immortal member.

“Dead? Aren’t they still there?” The moment the commander rebutted on reflex, he suddenly felt an unusual aura approaching.

This aura felt like ice sealing power, or darkness restriction power, or perhaps the soul power used by specters. It even carried the fluctuations of Other type. This aura swept past that Ning Family aerial army commander. The Immortal who was speaking a moment ago suddenly spasmed as if he was electrocuted, then turned stiff on the spot.

That creepy aura grazed past this commander. The commander suddenly felt a chill, his body and thoughts instantly stiffened......

If felt like that aura lasted just one second. When this commander regained his thinking ability, he suddenly realized everyone around him becoming motionless objects.

Wing type creatures did not flap their wings or execute and sky scaffolding techniques. However, they were creepily floating in the sky...... or fixed in the sky might sound more suitable.

Any life would exude a life force presence. However, these fixed wing type soul pets and soul pet trainers did not exude any life force presence. They were just like non-living things.

Why did such a bizarre thing happen?

This commander looked at those clearly alive soul pet trainers which felt even colder than corpses and recalled the terrifying sensation of completely losing his mind and body. A chill ran down his spine.

The aerial army commander raised his head and looked at that spectral woman which should not belong to this timespace in fear......

Her eyes were bright and charming. However, when this aerial army commander accidentally made eye contact with her, that creepy chilling sensation was transmitted again.

He lost his feelings and thinking ability again, the entire world suddenly became dark.

......

“Clan master...... That woman......” Ning Family army’s Demon army commander looked at the sky and was shocked by the scene.

This scene was extremely creepy and scary. The entire aerial army was fixed in the sky and lost all signs of life.

They seemed to be alive, yet they felt even more terrifying than dead!

Nobody could understand what kind of power that was. It was not restriction, petrification or ice seal. If one had to describe it, it was stillness in timespace.

It was difficult to imagine such a power existing in this world!

Ning Tianyou stared at the spectral woman in the sky who unleashed such a power and frowned.

In records, Devil Souls were not offensive. However, it was also said that they possessed the most mysterious power in this world. At least, Ning Tianyou was still unable to understand how that spectral woman was able to fix the aerial army in the sky and turn them directly into non-living things.

“Ignore her, continue attacking the barrier,” ordered Ning Tianyou.

Blood Beasts made up of the majority unit in the demon army. Over a thousand Dominator rank demons and ten thousand Blood Beasts charged towards the middle city barrier.

The dark blue barrier was already showing cracks. A barrier of this level could never block the charge of an entire army.

“The barrier is about to shatter!” said Yi Wu.

Shen Mo and Xia Zhixian snapped back.

Killing intent swept across, as if that aura alone was enough to topple the city wall.

Shen Mo turned to take a glance at Wanxiang City’s middle city.

Most of the people in the outer city had retreated to the middle city. There were still many people on the streets of the middle city.

There were not sufficient underground chambers for them to take refuge. They could only stand on the streets.

Some children hugged the legs of adults in confusion and looked at the city wall of the middle city.

Those adults also stood there and looked at the city wall, at the New Moon Land city guards......

Such helpless gaze filled the streets. They seemed to be staring at the defenders and leaving all the hopes to the defenders.

Shen Mo turned forward and did not dare to look at them again......

The middle city was about to be breached. If they stood on the streets like that, the first wave of attack would easily tear them to pieces.

“Commander!” Yi Wu looked at Shen Mo and awaited Shen Mo to issue the final order. Yi Wu also knew the result would be the same no matter what order was given.

Shen Mo took a glance at the few defenders remaining. He was about to raise his hand and order them to fight till the death, but he still gave up.

“Holy Guards retreat, New Moon Palace army retreat, city guards retreat...... Bring as many people as possible,” Shen Mo told Yi Wu.

Yi Wu was shocked for a moment. He was prepared to sacrifice, yet became speechless at Shen Mo’s order.

“Commander......”

“There’s no need to make pointless sacrifices. Try to let as many people survive as possible. New Moon Land will not perish just because Wanxiang City is lost!” Shen Mo waved his hand and indicated the others not to persuade him any further.

“Shen Mo, the barrier is not broken,” At that moment, Xia Zhixian reminded Shen Mo.

Shen Mo raised his head and looked at the barrier. He suddenly realized the dark blue barrier was still intact......

The barrier was like a light film and covered the most important city gate of the city. The powerful enemy demon army gathered at the city gate. They concentrated their power to attack this brittle barrier protecting the city gate.

However, the barrier which should be broken easily was strangely sturdy. It was still not broken by now. What was more unbelievable was that the enemies even had Immortals attacking the barrier, yet was unable to break it!

“How can that be possible...... Did someone reinforce the barrier?” exclaimed Shen Mo.

Shen Mo personally participated in the installation of the middle city barrier. He knew very well the sturdiness of this barrier.

It should have been shattered long ago. However, it managed to block the enemies for such a long time. The enemies numbered in tens of thousands. With such a large army attacking the same spot, even the inner city barrier could not endure!

“Look,” Xia Zhixian pointed at the edge of the city tower roof.

Shen Mo looked in that direction and was astonished to see Princess Jinrou quietly standing at the edge. Her pale white skirt fluttered gently, giving off a beautiful and spiritualistic aura!

She was standing behind that important part of the barrier. If they used soul remembrance to examine, they would realize a spectral shield in front of Princess Jinrou. This shield was invisible to the naked eyes, only a vague outline could be seen.

This spectral shield protected that fragile barrier and stopped the enemy attacks!

“Is that spiritual power?” mumbled Xia Zhixian as she looked at Princess Jinrou’s spectral shield.

Princess Jinrou turned around and took a glance at Xia Zhixian and Shen Mo.

She did not speak, but Xia Zhixian and Shen Mo could hear her voice gently speaking to them.

“My power can defend for a while, don’t give up so easily.”

Shen Mo and Xia Zhixian nodded.

Although they did not know what kind of power Princess Jinrou obtained, her performance brought trace of hope.

As long as there was hope, Shen Mo and Xia Zhixian would never give up. They would not let a single enemy enter the middle city even if they had to sacrifice themselves!

“You can start attacking. My spiritual barrier is a single-directional defense. Your techniques can pass through my barrier,” continued Princess Jinrou.

Shen Mo recollected himself instantly, “Holy Guards, long distance attack! New Moon Palace army, long distance attack! City guards, long distance attack!”

There were less than five thousand people left in total. They were also not of high ranks, but they would try to kill as many enemies as possible, because that would be equivalent to saving an extra life of those in the city.

The New Moon Land defenders did not hold back at all. They started chanting and charging, gathering all of their power to hit the enemies outside the barrier!

The enemies crowded outside the barrier to try breaking it. However, when the New Moon Land defenders counterattacked, over two thousand demons perished in this barrage of counterattack.

Furthermore, if they could not break the barrier, they would continue suffering the attacks from New Moon Land defenders.

“Clan master, we can’t break through this barrier. That spectral woman used some unknown power!” said demon army’s commander.

“Hmph, I will take her on!” snorted Ning Tianyou.

After that, Ning Tianyou rode on his Blood Life Beast and stepped into the air!

Blood Life Beast flew over the entire demon army. Its body turned into a shade of blood and furiously crashed onto a certain spot of the spiritual barrier!

Vroom~!

A charge by a high class Immortal rank creature was extremely terrifying. That crash impacted all the surrounding demons. At the same time, a violent shockwave traveled along the spiritual barrier and penetrated inside, hitting towards the city tower at the middle city!

Princess Jinrou slid back a certain distance!

When she stopped sliding back, her hair fluttered. The city tower beneath her suddenly showed a big crack.

“See how many times you can block my attack!” shouted Ning Tianyou.

Blood Life Beast raised its claws and slapped onto the barrier!
