Chapter 800 - 492 Control of Pan Shi City Area_2
```
As far as the eye could see, the battle had essentially concluded, with only the battlefield near the City Lord’s mansion still continuing.
However, the Sixth Tier Legendary Orc Demon Soul, with a bloodthirsty grin, carrying an axe, had already approached the front of the army.
A terrifying momentum, accompanied by a group of Fifth Tier Demon Souls behind him, appeared extremely vicious and sinister.
"Damn humans, wouldn’t it be better to peacefully merge into the Blood River?"
The raised giant axe, infused with the ghostly qi emanating from thousands of Demon Souls, transformed into a massive 50-meter shadowy axe of sinister energy.
"Die!"
The shadow of the axe descended, breaking through the blood fiend protection condensed by the battle formation, directly hacking into the army.
"Aaaah..."
Screams, wails, and painful moans sounded at that moment.
The Orc Demon Soul’s axe directly opened a massive gap in the battle formation.
A 60 to 70-meter-long, 4 to 5-meter-wide bloody path was created, blood drenched and bodies shattered.
"Kill!"
Gripping the giant axe, like a cannonball, he charged into the breach, sweeping the giant axe without any Fourth Tier professionals able to withstand its ferocity.
Following closely behind, the Fifth Tier Demon Souls also roared in and began continuously assaulting the breach, tearing it open even wider.
The breach in the battle formation caused the condensed power of blood fiend to quickly dissipate.
The consequence was the collapse of the condensed army soul.
And the Three-Clawed Blood Dragon entangled with the Ghost King started to slowly shatter into blood fiend energy.
How could Mo Yi, who wielded the Artifact Spirit Banner, let go of the opportunity to beat a drowning dog?
Immediately, he controlled the Ghost King, attacking right and left with Ghost Claws, starting to tear at the Blood Dragon.
Chunks of blood fiend energy were ripped from the Blood Dragon’s body, then devoured by the Ghost King.
Defeat began from this moment.
Especially when Zi Liyuan used the Corpse Explosion Technique on the corpses within the battle formation, the collapse of the formation accelerated dramatically.
The Legendary Beast Soul attacked with unparalleled might, rivers of blood ran wherever the giant axe passed.
Meanwhile, Zi Liyuan gently pointed at the corpses, unleashing a tremendous Power of Death from them, enveloping an area of over 20 meters.
The damage from a single corpse using the Corpse Explosion Technique was limited, but there were plenty of bodies on the ground!
With the sound of "boom boom" explosions, death energy permeated the battlefield, flesh and blood burst into fragments.
Corpses fell piece by piece.
The horrific scene directly shattered the morale of over two hundred thousand professionals.
Then, deserters appeared.
With the appearance of deserters, the five thousand epic warriors barely maintaining the Secret Technique immediately suffered from its backlash.
Almost instantly, groups of epic warriors spat out mouthfuls of old blood.
They, who were in a good state, suddenly declined swiftly.
The backlash’s power inflicted varying degrees of internal injury on each of them.
Without any hesitation, the moment the Three-Clawed Blood Dragon collapsed, these Fifth Tier epics scattered and fled without hesitation.
Unfortunately, Mo Yi’s Blood River Demon Soul Formation had long enveloped the entire Pan Shi City, locking the surrounding space.
The Artifact Spirit Banner within released nearly forty thousand Fifth Tier Demon Souls.
These powerful Fifth Tier Demon Souls gathered, forming smaller Ghost Fiends, directly targeting the fleeing human epics.
Each epic faced an assault by at least ten epic Demon Souls.
Even at their peak, without backlash and added injuries, those humans forcibly raised to the Fifth Tier by the old witch were no match for ten Fifth Tier epic Demon Souls.
One by one, the humans had blood mouths ripped open on their bodies amidst the Demon Souls’ eerie and terrifying laughter.
As their blood drained, their movements became increasingly sluggish.
Blood drained, spirits extracted, until finally, they became cold corpses.
Even as corpses, they were not spared, instead packed and stored within a spatial item.
The Fifth Tier epics of the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty were the backbone force, who knew how much wealth they plundered?
They had followed the old witch in the Sea of Realms for centuries, each with considerable wealth.
Even though most materials and resources were given to their families, those precious treasures must have been kept on them.
One could say the bodies of these over five thousand epic warriors represented immense wealth.
And the army of three hundred thousand professionals, too, had considerable spoils.
In the attack of the Demon Souls, seven to eight thousand were shredded into irresolvable pieces.
One could say it was a huge loss.
The remaining two hundred twenty thousand professional troops were all annihilated, and their bodies remained intact.
The defense of Pan Shi City could be said to have almost completely wiped out the resistance forces in this territory.
Now, within Pan Shi City, aside from subjects, alien races, merchants, and a few surviving small families, only some troops who surrendered quickly remained.
A full hundred thousand Second Tier troops surrendered.
Next, they would naturally notify the outside camp to send people for a reorganization.
Zi Liyuan rode Dilys down from the sky directly into the City Lord’s mansion.
Summoning a layer of Bone Shield with a wave of his hand, Zi Liyuan entered the secret passage inside the City Lord’s mansion, heading to the secret chamber below.
Pan Shi City, as the main city of this territory, was far behind Tianxiang City in terms of scale.
However, the construction of the City Lord’s mansion was almost identical, including the layout of the underground chamber.
There was nothing much to say about it.
Zi Liyuan gestured for Dilys to wait above, then entered the secret chamber and found the location of the Heart of the Castle.
Without any hesitation, Spirit sealed with a mark, he imprinted strands of Spirit Power into the Heart of the Castle.
During a siege, if the City Lord fled and the city was not held, the original aura of the City Lord’s spirit recorded in the Heart of the Castle would be automatically erased.
At this moment, it was effortless for Zi Liyuan to imprint his Spirit Imprint and aura into the Heart of the Castle.
As he successfully engraved his Spirit into the Heart of the Castle of Pan Shi City, a sense of control enveloped his heart.
Following Tianxiang City, another main city fell into his hands.
From today, the two territories would merge into the Land of the Dead, becoming lands under Zi Liyuan’s control.
Simultaneously, a detailed map of Pan Shi City’s territory appeared directly in Zi Liyuan’s mind, merging with the original map.
City locations, resource points, material positions... all displayed in his mind.
However, nearly half of the areas on the map were still shown in red.
This indicated these areas were not yet under his control.
So, the next step was naturally to send out the army to conquer those cities that had not yet pledged allegiance!
Coming out of the secret chamber of the City Lord’s mansion, twelve Lords had already gathered in the City Lord’s hall.
"I won’t say much more, the plan was made long ago. Now, having taken Pan Shi City, the next task of subduing the towns below rests on you."
The plan had long been set, and Pan Shi City no longer had the power to resist the Death Lord’s conquest.
Thus, with a wave of his hand, Zi Liyuan instructed the twelve Lords to lead various armies to commence territorial conquests.
As for those noble families fleeing, upon learning of Pan Shi City’s rapid fall, they immediately hastened their retreat.
They had to leave, for this Death Lord was too ruthless.
He was a demon who killed without blinking.
Though many smaller families in Pan Shi City had surrendered, they still faced the Death Lord’s purge.
Despite the Death Lord presenting various evidence, proving these small families were indeed unsavory.
However, they had surrendered and voluntarily handed over seventy percent of their family wealth, yet it wasn’t enough to spare their lives?
In the end, they were all slaughtered. Who could endure such a situation?
The information spread quickly, and almost immediately after Zi Liyuan finished purging the noble families in Pan Shi City, people in the surrounding towns received the intelligence.
Then, without hesitation, they packed up their belongings and fled using their connections!
