In terms of strength, the Twin-headed Demon Vulture was only at the seventh-rank initial level, even weaker than a Demon Lord. At least the Demon Lord had a sword, while the Twin-headed Demon Vulture only had its magic. Therefore, after rashly entering the trap set by the 21st Demon Hunt Squad of the General rank, it also met a tragic end… of course, the most important thing in killing it was Mai Dou Piggy’s intimidation. It accounted for at least half the credit.

The Black Dragon’s deterrence wasn’t over yet. It certainly couldn’t attack, but letting out a dragon roar to the sky was still possible.

Watching the giant Black Dragon rush towards the demons, the pressure of the species finally caused some chaos among the demons. They couldn’t understand why His Majesty the Demon God Emperor’s guards would attack them. For a time, those low and mid-level demons immediately lost their will to fight.

Morale is extremely important in war. Once morale is hit, it’s likely to lead to a miserable defeat.

Seeing the Demon army showing signs of decline in this direction, the general of Zhennan Pass immediately directed the Zhennan Pass garrison to launch a counterattack. These garrison soldiers were exhausted and wounded, but they were also veterans of many battles. Those who could survive until now could be said to be the most elite troops in Zhennan Pass. They understood that whether they could truly survive depended on the battle before them. Even if they were tired, they gritted their teeth and charged towards the enemy.

It didn’t matter that the garrison was exhausted and wounded. There were also newly arrived reinforcements. They were all fresh troops. Under the leadership of dozens of Demon Hunt Squads and five thousand fresh troops, the Temple Alliance army fearlessly launched a counterattack against the demons in the streets and alleys.

Zhennan Pass suddenly reported an emergency. Since the Temple Alliance sent reinforcements, they must have had some confidence. Among the six great temples, in addition to the Knight Temple sending a powerful Knight Temple Legion, the other five temples also sent elites above the fifth rank. Although their combat power couldn’t compare with the Demon Hunt Squads, the combat power they could display on the battlefield was also quite terrifying. Also at the fifth rank, one human could at least fight three or four demons, because they had equipment! Even an ordinary armor could give them more protection than the demons.

Moreover, don’t forget that they are an army. The army has discipline, as well as mutual cooperation and assistance. Although the demon army was strong, there were too many of their races, and they never emphasized cooperation. They only relied on a pure numbers to overwhelm their opponents.

Therefore, in the entire Zhennan Pass, a good show of a desperate counterattack was staged.

However, Long Haochen slowed down the pace of leading the two Demon Hunt Squads forward, and didn’t immediately join the battle.

Lu Xi’s group healing ability was fully released. His inner spiritual power increased by more than a thousand points thanks to the Holy Spirit Pill, greatly increasing his healing ability. Everyone’s bodies were shining with golden light, bathed in the warm light of the Priest’s healing magic, which was definitely a feeling of happiness on the battlefield.

However, no one knew that the reason Long Haochen slowed down wasn’t because of the excessive consumption in the previous battle and the injuries on his body.

Although the impact of the seventh-rank Twin-headed Demon Vulture was fierce, the effect of the Epic-tier equipment Soul Chain was too strong. Its attack was first resisted by all of Long Haochen’s defensive abilities, including Divine Obstruction. After resisting, it was then divided equally among the seven people. Although they suffered a little shock, the injuries were very light and could be completely ignored under Lu Xi’s group healing. As for spiritual power consumption, he had the dual recovery of Eternal Melody and the Light Elemental Sprite Ya Ting. When necessary, Hao Yue could even use Light Radiance of Heaven and Earth to help him replenish spiritual power. In terms of sustained combat ability, no one could compare with Long Haochen at their level.

The real reason he slowed down was pain. He was currently suffering from considerable pain and had to stop and slow down first so that he could concentrate on resolving this pain.

The source of the pain was Eternal Melody.

The moment he stepped onto the battlefield, the Eternal Melody at Long Haochen’s chest began to burn. It was like a greedy monster, devouring the soul energy in the air that others couldn’t see.

Long Haochen’s spiritual perception was far beyond ordinary people, not to mention that thousands of soul energies were rushing towards him alone. The feeling was definitely uncomfortable. Moreover, as the soul energy poured in, the Eternal Melody constantly burst out with a fiery aura, and the burning pain was always affecting him. If Long Haochen’s willpower wasn’t amazing, he wouldn’t be able to persist until now.

He could feel that the soul energy would quickly disappear after entering the Eternal Melody, but the burning sensation of the Eternal Melody would also increase a bit. But he could also feel that the Eternal Melody wasn’t omnipotent. Its attraction to souls was only about 200 meters in diameter. Beyond this distance, it couldn’t absorb it.

Therefore, he slowed down to slow down the speed of absorption of the Eternal Melody, so that he could digest and absorb the souls he had just inhaled as soon as possible. Otherwise, the burning feeling already made him feel like his chest was about to be burned through. How could he fight?

However, this burning wasn’t completely without benefits. In that burning, Long Haochen clearly felt that the speed of the liquid spiritual power in his body revolving around the Holy Attraction Spiritual Furnace suddenly increased, and it was constantly compressing inward. Although the burning of the Eternal Melody made him feel like his chest was about to be burned through, he could also feel that he seemed to have grasped a bit of inspiration.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t sit down and cultivate immediately in this situation. Otherwise, with his understanding, since he had grasped the inspiration, he would definitely gain something.

The burning sensation at the Eternal Melody gradually cooled down because Long Haochen slowed down, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn’t willing to let the Eternal Melody absorb the power of souls. This was obviously beneficial to the Eternal Tower, but he always lacked affection for the things left behind by this necromancer.

Others also took advantage of the opportunity to quickly recover their spiritual power under the spiritual gathering aura released by Long Haochen. Although they were a little slower to go to the battlefield now, their previous performance was enough to win a lot of praise. It was their breakthrough that started a chain reaction and led to this counterattack.

“How are things going, everyone?” Long Haochen turned his head to look at Lu Xi. Although he was asking everyone, he was actually mainly asking the members of the 22nd Demon Hunt Squad of the General rank. Their seven members of the 21st squad had the Soul Chain, so if there was a problem, everyone would have it together.

Lu Xi said, “No problem, we can fight again.”

Long Haochen nodded and said, “Let’s go.” The burning sensation in his chest had faded, but there would only be more corpses ahead. He had no other choice but to endure it alone. He couldn’t be afraid to fight at this time, right?

The counterattack greatly boosted the morale of the Temple Alliance warriors. Under the leadership of the fresh troops, they actually suppressed the demons who had invaded Zhennan Pass for a time. And they slowly advanced, recovering lost ground.

Long Haochen and the others reappeared on the battlefield and immediately became one of the sharp knives breaking through the enemy’s formation. Long Haochen charged at the front, with Hao Yue and Yi Jun’s magic covering, while Bai Xiaomo’s plant-based magic created a circle of thorns around the team, enhancing the overall protection. For a time, they really had a bit of an unstoppable momentum.

The cooperation of the thirteen people became more and more tacit. Even sixth-rank demons couldn’t stop them for a moment. As for the seventh rank, that was a minority after all. They had already killed two of them one after another. They couldn’t be unlucky enough to encounter them every time, right?

Long Haochen became the busiest person. He not only had to command, kill enemies, and defend, but also had to rely on the Eternal Melody to collect the corpses of those demons. Of course, now Long Haochen was also picky. He directly let go of those below the fifth rank and collected all those above the fifth rank. Not to mention the value of the corpses, the magic crystals of the demons alone were a considerable amount.

At this time, the discipline of the team was reflected. Except for Long Haochen, whether it was the 21st or 22nd squad, everyone else only focused on killing enemies, defending, and assisting. No one went to collect the corpses of the demons. Even if Long Haochen missed them, they wouldn’t take any action.

If an excellent team’s cooperation is affected by interests, how can they be worthy of the word excellent?

Long Haochen just said one sentence, that he would collect the spoils and distribute them after the war. The others carried out his orders well. From the beginning to the present, everyone has seen Long Haochen’s fairness, justice, and selflessness in the team. He was the one who bore the most difficult tasks. In the entire team, no matter how unruly the elites of the major temples were originally, they were now completely convinced by him.

A strong team core not only has to be strong in combat and complete the most important tasks, but also must make his team have a strong cohesion. It is necessary to bring out the roles of everyone in the team.

The burning sensation reappeared on Long Haochen’s chest along with the killing, but to Long Haochen’s surprise, he seemed to be much more resistant to the burning sensation brought by the Eternal Melody this time. The reason was unknown, but it was always a good thing.

More importantly, the previous inspiration seemed to have reappeared. The inner spiritual power in his body was gathering even more frantically. Under the effect of the burning sensation, even though he was constantly using skills, the inner spiritual power in his body didn’t seem to decrease. It seemed that the Eternal Melody had brought some special ability.

Could it be that the Eternal Melody absorbing the power of souls can also restore my spiritual power?

Just as this thought occurred in his mind, Long Haochen couldn’t care about his physical condition.

A black light fell from the sky with a bang and directly smashed into the Temple Alliance’s counterattack army. In the violent roar, purple-black bubbles burst outward. At least dozens of warriors from the six great temples who couldn’t dodge in time melted in the purple-black bubbles.
