The spot where Nirvana is located happens to be a corner, and this positioning is quite cunning.
If the beast swarm uses skills to attack, Nirvana only needs to take a step back to remove itself from their view, causing all attacks to fall into blank space.
If the beast swarm rushes forward, Nirvana stands at the front, blocking the beasts at the corner. Even if the other two Star Beasts pass Nirvana, they would be killed by Lei Yao and Wind Burst Mad Lion.
At that point, by blocking their bodies at the front, a simple fortress can be built.
At this moment, the beast swarm has already charged up. Nirvana raises its Ao Clamp and cuts forward, directly slicing the foremost Star Beast into two pieces.
On either side of that Star Beast, its kin leap past Nirvana, charging towards its rear.
However, they are stopped by Lei Yao and Wind Burst Mad Lion.
Wind Burst Mad Lion raises its paw and smacks the Star Beast that comes charging at extreme speed.
As for Lei Yao, to kill the opponent in a very short time, it directly unleashes Beast Soul Power, elevating its strength to Commander Level.
When the two Star Beasts rush through the corner, they find two fierce attacks awaiting them.
Lei Yao and Wind Burst Mad Lion kill that Star Beast and then toss their bodies towards the front of Nirvana.
The three corpses block the passage, greatly easing the pressure on the three beasts.
However, the beast swarm quickly clears the three bodies away and charges again.
But the result is exactly the same as before.
Afterwards, the beast swarm changes tactics, no longer charging but using skills to hammer toward Nirvana.
Seeing this, Nirvana remains unphased, as all of this was within Chu Chen's calculations.
Only Nirvana swiftly retreats, causing all attacks to miss, blasting the rock wall into tatters, while the three beasts remain unscathed and the swarm is still firmly blocked here.
The swarm tries several more times, but still returns without achieving anything.
This makes the entire beast swarm incredibly restless.
At this moment, a late-stage Commander Level Star Beast at the rear of the swarm issues a low growl toward the beast swarm, then turns and runs toward the back.
Upon hearing the growl, the swarm immediately abandons Chu Chen and Zhang Yuyan, turning to run towards the rear.
Chu Chen frowns upon seeing this. These Star Beasts are very clever, knowing this path is impassable and thus deciding to choose another route.
Chu Chen initially wanted to block the swarm here and destroy them all, but seeing them choose another path, he has no intention of pursuing.
Though there's some regret, they have successfully held them off for now, and it means temporary safety.
"Let's go, check on how Ming Yue and the others are," Zhang Yuyan softly suggests.
Hearing this, Chu Chen nods, then leaps onto Nirvana's back and heads towards the entrance.
As Nirvana's size grows, its speed has also increased considerably.
Even though it still can't match Wind Burst Mad Lion, it is considerably faster than before.
At this moment, atop the city wall above the sewer exit, Ghost Shadow Soul watched the disappearing beast swarm at the exit, not choosing to retreat, but continuing to fight with the City Defense Army.
It's more like a game than a battle, for the number of City Defense Army dead in the hands of Ghost Shadow Soul has reached over twenty, while the army side could not pose any threat to it.
Captain Li's face turned grim, although the Unicorn can counter Ghost Shadow Soul, its speed is too fast and too cunning. Every time the Unicorn attacks it, Ghost Shadow Soul shifts into the crowd to evade, able to enter phantom state anytime and move freely among the crowd.
He originally planned for others to pursue the beast swarm but reconsidered due to Ghost Shadow Soul.
If Ghost Shadow Soul enters the city, the damage it would cause would be more horrible than the beast swarm.
With this in mind, Captain Li promptly changed his combat strategy. He doesn't aim to kill Ghost Shadow Soul, just drive it away or trap it.
The City Defense Army gained a preliminary understanding of Ghost Shadow Soul's attack methods through the recent battle.
Everyone continuously channels Soul Power, and Soul Skill "Barrier" remains constantly active.
Though this greatly drains Soul Power, if it can hold the opponent back, it's worth it.
"All Control Element Guardian Beasts, prepare yourselves. I'll get an opportunity for you," Captain Li says, directing the Unicorn to attack.
The Unicorn emits a roar, releasing an intensely bright white light from its body, followed by a concentration of strong Light Elements towards it.
Ghost Shadow Soul's expression changes drastically upon seeing this; it knows the Unicorn is unleashing its ultimate attack.
Ghost Shadow Soul doesn't dare hesitate and rushes towards the crowd.
This time, everyone is prepared, determined not to let it succeed.
Captain Li sees this and smirks coldly, ordering: "Take action."
As his words fall, several control skills descend on Ghost Shadow Soul.
The opponent is shocked, its body flickers to dodge to the side.
However, there are more than ten control skills, almost covering all areas around it.
Ghost Shadow Soul doesn't notice and gets caught by one skill.
At that moment, a massive light sphere is hurled towards Ghost Shadow Soul.
Ghost Shadow Soul shows a terrified expression; if hit by the light sphere, it might perish.
Ghost Shadow Soul opens its giant mouth again, releasing a shrill scream.
Those hearing the screech display painful expressions, the control effect on Ghost Shadow Soul vanishes instantly.
Ghost Shadow Soul hurries to escape to the side.
But it's too late; the massive light sphere has already descended.
The light sphere lands on the ground, emitting a loud rumble. The concentrated Light Elements rapidly spread to surrounding areas.
Though Ghost Shadow Soul wasn't directly hit, it remains within the sphere's range.
The rich Light Elements relentlessly corrode its body, triggering a heart-wrenching scream from its mouth.
After the explosion, Ghost Shadow Soul nearly turns transparent, its aura dropping to the nadir, as if about to dissipate any moment.
Not waiting for further attack, Ghost Shadow Soul's form flickers and drifts down toward the city.
When the crowd catches up, Ghost Shadow Soul has already floated into the sewer entrance.
Captain Li's expression becomes solemn upon seeing this; he leaps onto the Unicorn's back and gravely declares: "Team Two, come with me. The others stay here." With that, he first leaps off the city wall.
Team Two swiftly follows his orders.
About ten people rush directly into the sewer.
"Xiaobai, can you sense Ghost Shadow Soul's presence?" Captain Li taps the Unicorn beneath his body, asking indifferently.
Xiaobai raises its head and sniffs the air, its expression turns uncomfortable.
The foul odor of the sewer fills its nostrils, preventing it from sensing anything beyond the stench.
Seeing this, Captain Li arbitrarily points in a direction: "Let's head there, I'll go first, you hurry and catch up." With that, he races ahead.
When Team Two enters the sewer, only Captain Li's voice echoes inside, and they see no sign of him.
