Chapter 980: Chapter 634: Is There Enough Time?

The old temple was located at the waist of the mountain, and the surrounding vegetation and trees had already been cleared by the Association’s people.

The view was wide open, leaving nowhere for the enemy to hide, and it also prevented the enemy from employing the tactic of setting the mountain ablaze.

Under these circumstances, the clustered Taoist Soldiers became perfect moving targets for rocket launchers.

Clearly, the Taoist Soldiers had never witnessed the power of rocket launchers before.

At the moment of initial contact, they were shot to pieces. Countless Taoist Soldiers were torn apart, eventually turning into shattered golden beans.

After repeated bombings by the disciples, the Taoist Soldiers who had been charging down the mountain were few and far between. Those at the foot of the mountain had stopped their charge.

This left the disciples ecstatic; the rocket launchers were much more useful than they had imagined.

One of the second-generation disciples even exclaimed that rocket launchers were more useful than palm thunder.

It wasn’t wrong; using Magical Skills did consume a lot for Transcendents. Rocket launchers, by comparison, were much easier to handle.

Therefore, there was a saying that with the development of technology, the system of Extraordinary Strength was beginning to wane.

Unlike the disciples’ joy,

Li Changhe, Li Kun, and others had calm expressions; they had anticipated the outcome of this first battle.

The Three Corpses God had awakened too recently, and even with a Japanese Transcendent who knew how to reverse his condition explaining modern information to him, he had no clue about modern technology.

He probably still didn’t believe that a Transcendent master who had cultivated for many years could be easily killed by the weapons of ordinary people.

With this mindset, a sudden confrontation with modern weapons naturally resulted in heavy losses.

He might even mistake rocket launchers for some kind of crossbows.

But as much as he suffered losses, the original self of the Three Corpses God, Guiguzi, was a master of military strategy, and after his initial astonishment, he would invariably make targeted arrangements.

Moreover, it was still unknown how many Taoist Soldiers he really controlled; it was very likely that the fight would drag out into a long war of attrition.

There were not many rocket launchers; once they were used up, they would have to compare the consumption and recovery of their respective Magical Skills.

This was not advantageous for the Association.

And what Li Changhe and the others lacked most was time.

They had three days left for their mission, they had to kill or seal the Three Corpses God within three days.

Otherwise, once they left, history might repeat itself on the Association’s side.

"It’s not a solution to continue like this, it seems we’ll have to find an opportunity to break out." Li Changhe murmured, "Senior Li Kun, can you pinpoint the location of the Three Corpses God?"

Li Changhe planned a beheading operation.

It was quite ironic, really; normally, in other battlefields, he who possessed the Immortal Cavalry was the prime assassination target for enemies.

Yet at this moment, the roles had switched.

"As a Celestial, he possesses even more methods than I do," Li Kun looked up at the blood-red Defensive Array in the sky and responded, "I can only confirm that he is still in the northern area within this Array."

"Just a rough direction? Then it won’t be easy to find him," Li Changhe frowned.

Now, the mountains and forests were full of Taoist Soldiers and various strange Arrays.

With their abilities sealed, players would find it difficult to ascertain the exact location of the Corpse God.

A rash attack might lead to being trapped by some kind of Array, and it would be all over.

The Three Corpses God was probably hoping that the Association would split its forces.

They had to find a way that served both purposes.

Just then, several special Taoist Soldiers radiating golden light leaped up through the smoke and dust from the rocket explosions.

Their armor was much thicker than that of the previous Taoist Soldiers.

The one running at the forefront carried two golden maces on his back.

Perhaps with the enhancement of a certain Array, his speed was extremely fast and his strength extraordinarily powerful.

He grabbed two Taoist Soldiers, using them as shields, and threw them toward the rockets approaching him. By doing this, he successfully evaded the bombardment.

He left a trail of golden light on the rocky mountain, quickly approaching the old temple.

A few Taoist disciples tried to pick up rocket launchers to fire another shot at that Taoist Soldier but were never able to aim properly at their target.

This was not like the situation just now where a casual shot could shatter a large number of Taoist Soldiers; these individuals moved too fast and could be considered the bane of rocket launchers.

These must be elite monsters among the Taoist Soldiers. Perhaps they are individuals directly controlled by the Three Corpses God...

"Leave it to us, save your ammunition, and clear out the other Taoist Soldiers!" Li Kun quickly identified the problem and issued an order, "Form up, defend against the enemy!"

"Yes!"

The second-generation disciples rapidly commanded the other disciples to take their positions, arranging the Array in preparation to resist the Taoist Soldiers.

When the Taoist disciples stood in their specific positions, the Qi within them connected with each other. They laid down a semi-transparent barrier around the old temple.

This was a Defensive Array developed by the association, allowing Transcendents to unite their strength to fend off attacks.

The focal point of the array was manned by Kongchan, who had the strongest Defense Force.

Theoretically, this Array could withstand the attacks of Earth Level Extraordinaries for a considerable amount of time.

At that moment, the golden mace-wielding Taoist Soldier also arrived near the old temple, reaching out to grab the golden mace on his back. His body shone with a brilliant golden light.

In an instant, he turned into a golden giant over three meters tall.

Simultaneously, Qiu Wentian, who was in front of the old temple, darted out with a sword in hand. The great iron sword in her grasp roared to life, smashing down on the golden giant like a mountain of iron.

One was a towering golden giant, the other a petite young girl.

The clash of the two was a shockingly brutal sight.

Li Changhe and the others, however, had no time to watch this scene.

Because other special Taoist Soldiers also arrived near the old temple one after another, bursting with golden light and transforming into golden giants.

With the appearance of four golden giants, Li Changhe and the others each chose their own opponents.

The one Li Changhe faced was a golden-armored giant wielding a large saber, who moved extremely quickly.

Li Changhe decisively dropped the hunting bow, fulfilling his duty as an Archer, and picked up an axe, charging forward to split open the golden-armored giant’s head.

Although these giants looked intimidating, their attributes were not higher than the players’.

As Li Changhe approached, he heard the golden-armored giant speak, "Hand over that Taoist girl to me, and I’ll let you leave the Array!"

The Three Corpses God was indeed controlling these Taoist Soldiers.

He spoke not in archaic language but in Mandarin, albeit a bit broken.

It seemed the learning ability of the Three Corpses God was extremely terrifying, or maybe he had gained this ability through some means from the Japanese Transcendent.

"Ha, you old sneaky bastard, just wait for your death!" sneered Li Changhe mockingly, his actions unceasing.

He knew the Three Corpses God’s intentions; if they were in a complex situation with participants from various factions,

his words might have incited the association’s side to consider abandoning the mute girl.

After all, the Three Corpses God currently had no small advantage. If they stubbornly prolonged the battle, it was likely that everyone would be killed by the Three Corpses God.

And some, in a bid for survival, might take the action of abandoning the mute girl.

Perhaps something like this really happened back then... It’s human nature, nothing surprising.

Li Changhe slid to dodge the giant’s cleaving saber, then, with a side swipe, he chopped off the giant’s lower leg.

The giant stumbled on one leg, quickly retreated, but still spoke, "Do you really think the consequences on her can pose a threat to me in time?"

Li Changhe paid no attention, his axe, now coated with pitch-black paint, whirled through the air and strike heavily onto the golden-armored giant’s cheekbone, splitting its head open.

When the giant’s body turned into two halves of a soybean, Li Changhe felt he might have acted a bit too quickly.

"In time... what do you mean?"
