Chapter 1106: The Second Line of Defense

The members of the Wild Wolves Organization didn’t disappoint Meng Yun!
Dozens of top experts acted like sharp knives, piercing deep into the outer regions of Jinxiu Heshan. Those who encountered them were knocked to the ground at first sight, and hundreds were slaughtered effortlessly. Not daring to delay, they launched a forceful assault before Jinxiu Heshan’s defenders could react, quickly carving a bloody path through their defenses.
Although the casualties weren’t severe, Jinxiu Heshan’s flawless ironclad defense line was severed. The archers were either killed or distracted, creating gaps in the arrow barrage!
Boom!!
With the thunder of hooves, a large group of Yipin Hall warriors, under the cover of the Wild Wolves, drew their bows and prepared to shoot…
“Fire!”
Countless arrows erupted from the charging crowd, targeting both sides of Jinxiu Heshan’s defenses, causing immediate chaos and heavy losses.
The disadvantages of their hastily assembled forces became apparent…
As Yipin Hall pushed forward aggressively and counterattacked, a domino effect spread rapidly through Jinxiu Heshan’s outer defenses, expanding from the gap created by the Wild Wolves Organization. The gap grew larger, spreading to the left and right.
Meanwhile, Yipin Hall’s forces began to flood in massively from the direction commanded by Meng Yun, their counterattack now unstoppable!
Due to the long front lines and many lone fighters, many were stunned by the sudden fierce counterattack!
But the commanders remained calm.
Ji Feng stood motionless on a high vantage point, watching the chaos and defeat spread toward them. His brows were furrowed, but he didn’t show panic.
“Vice Head Ji, shall we attack?”
Inside the main headquarters, over 80,000 warriors still held their bows, ready to shoot. So far in the battle, none of them had fired a single arrow.
Everyone was eager for battle, including several of Ji Feng’s old subordinates, who couldn’t help but eagerly ask, “Yipin Hall has reached our walls!”
“We must not panic!”
Glancing at his subordinates, Ji Feng spoke calmly, “Xian Kai once told us not to risk everything for small gains before the right time!”
“…”
Hearing their leader mention Xian Kai, the group fell silent and stopped urging action, their intense eyes fixed on the enemies slowly approaching the walls.
…
At Jinxiu Heshan’s main headquarters, to the east.
Here, as the last stubborn disciple of Jinxiu Heshan in sight was killed, a group of top Wild Wolves Organization experts, like ghosts, reassembled around Xiao Taohong.
She glanced around.

Forty-seven people, not one less.
Among the crowd, Jin Luosha and the others smiled slightly: “Well done.”
“Sure enough, just a bunch of ragtag fools. We can’t even spot a few top experts. With such strength, we might as well charge in straight away!”
As soon as those words were spoken, Xiao Taohong’s cold voice rang in their ears: “You haven’t encountered a single top expert in the outer defense line, and Happy or the Emperor haven’t shown up to intercept either. Don’t you find that strange?”
Some members of the Wild Wolf Organization also sensed something was off.
It was one thing for Happy to make a mistake, but to repeatedly underestimate the enemy was completely unacceptable!
“You’re overthinking it. The battlefield is so large, and we act quickly. Happy can’t even receive messages via carrier pigeons, so it’s impossible for him to notice what’s going on here. Maybe he’s off saving elsewhere.” Jin Luosha spoke in a completely normal tone. “Besides, it’s better if Happy doesn’t show up. We can just storm their main stronghold right now. By the time he arrives, things might not be so easy for us…”
“Luosha is right. Let’s not overthink it. Speed is key. While Happy isn’t here, let’s break through the second layer of the Jinxiu Mountains’ defense. Otherwise, when he arrives, it’ll be another tough battle!” someone in the crowd agreed.
Although Xiao Taohong felt something was wrong, with both sides fighting fiercely, it really wasn’t the time to delay… Besides, Meng Yun was the commander, and she was in charge of the overall situation.
With that decision made, Xiao Taohong’s gaze turned to the high wall ahead!
A group of people gathered at the base of the wall and slowly looked up.
“It’s really high.”
“It’s easy to jump up, but the time from mid-air to landing will be very dangerous…”
All of them were international mercenaries, well aware that staying in the air even for a fraction of a second could be deadly.
Moreover, no arrows had been fired from inside, nor had any reinforcements been sent to the outer defense line—this was clearly a separate second line of defense, and its sudden explosive power was terrifyingly formidable.
“Let the people from Yipin Hall draw fire to help us assess the situation.”
Xiao Taohong’s suggestion received silent approval from all members of the Wild Wolf Organization.
Ten seconds later, the men from Yipin Hall launched a fierce attack on Jinxiu Mountains.
Some attacked the wall surface fiercely from below, while others used the wall for leverage to climb to the highest points skillfully.
Of course, these people weren’t stupid enough to show themselves right on top of the wall. Instead, they gripped the wall edge with one hand, keeping their bodies tightly pressed against it…
The group on the wall exchanged glances and simultaneously took out some dark, spherical objects from theirfrom their bags bags.
This scene sent a slight shock through the members of the Wild Wolf Organization.

By now, they finally had some understanding of Mengyun’s tactics.
Thunder and Fire Bombs!
There were quite a number of them.
As the group exchanged glances, the experts from Yipin Hall immediately raised their hands and swiftly fired the Thunder and Fire Bombs at the main hall of Jinxiu Heshan using covert techniques.
Whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Almost simultaneously with their attacks, a dense stream of sonic booms echoed above their heads;
Boom!
Boom! Boom!!!
The people from Yipin Hall quickly noticed that the frequency of the arrow rain inside Jinxiu Heshan’s main hall had dropped sharply. Without hesitation, hundreds of them rushed in at once, with more following closely behind.
A few experts from the Wild Wolves Organization were also tempted by Yipin Hall’s tactics and, at Xiaotao Hong’s signal, mixed in with the crowd.
But as soon as those experts from the Wild Wolves Organization climbed over the inner wall, they were instantly terrified by the formidable forces inside!
The Thunder and Fire Bombs did not explode among the crowd.
It seemed they had been shot down mid-air, and the raging flames and smoke beneath the high walls turned into a defense line that actually benefited Jinxiu Heshan.
The Thunder and Fire Bombs failed to affect Jinxiu Heshan’s people, turning the group into easy targets—dense arrow showers instantly turned them into porcupines mid-air.
Ah!!
Pfft! Pfft!
Cries of pain and the sound of flesh being pierced blended into a sudden symphony of sorrow that continued endlessly.
The people from Yipin Hall were completely stunned!
People were pierced into porcupines mid-air; their protective barriers shattered, their vital energy spilled out, and they lost the ability to maintain balance, crashing violently against the wall behind them and falling from great heights.
Death was certain!
The experts from the Wild Wolves Organization regretted climbing over the wall…
But knowing they could never return alive, they gritted their teeth and resolved to disrupt Jinxiu Heshan’s formation at all costs.
Hah!!
A few of them used the bodies of Yipin Hall’s disciples as shields and kicked hard upon landing.
Bang!!
Several Yipin Hall disciples didn’t even realize what happened—they were killed by their own people in mid-air, their bodies along with the arrows swept up by fierce winds and sent toward Jinxiu Heshan’s defense line.
……
Jinxiu Heshan’s main hall.
At the front of the crowd, several distinguished Tang Sect disciples coldly watched the enemies rolling down from the wall. With their left arms crossed over their chests, their finely crafted crossbows mounted on their right arms were loaded with two rows of gleaming arrowheads.
It was they who had easily shattered the Thunder and Fire Bombs that had been fired into the main hall earlier in mid-air.

They were placed here by Ji Feng as a backup measure, in case top experts mixed among the crowd and caused unnecessary casualties, to strengthen the defense line.
Huh!!
The sound of the Wild Wolf experts rolling to the ground was light and agile, completely different from the speed of the corpses. Several people’s pupils constricted: “There are experts!”
Frowning, several Tang Sect experts promptly abandoned their crossbow attacks and swiftly pulled their hands back to their waists…
Left hand! Right hand! Left hand! Right hand!
The disciples of Jinxiu He Shan only saw the Tang Sect disciples spinning continuously, raising their left and right hands alternately, moving at an astonishing speed—four or five times in an instant. Many things that shouldn’t have been there appeared in the air ahead.
All kinds of hidden weapons flew about like butterflies!
Although the Wild Wolf organization’s experts managed to kick the corpses away with a single foot strike, the continuous sound of arrows piercing the air greatly weakened their ability to judge direction from the sound; the corpses in front also restricted their vision.
With a kick, their pupils suddenly widened!
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft…
Before they could take a few steps forward, they were quickly covered in various hidden weapons, flying needles, sleeve arrows, flying knives, spiral nails, butterfly darts, and the like.
Each carried deadly effects—disrupting energy and poisoning—each one extremely lethal!
The poor top Wild Wolf experts didn’t even get a chance to show their exceptional skills before being killed in a fierce attack by the Tang Sect experts, their bodies pierced with all kinds of metal objects as they collapsed to the ground.
“Brilliant!”
“Well done!”
The many Jinxiu He Shan disciples witnessed it clearly and didn’t hesitate to offer praise as they saw the Tang Sect disciples defuse a significant crisis.
……
“……”
Xiao Taohong had been closely watching what was happening inside from outside the wall. With no sound of combat and no prearranged signals, her expression grew increasingly grave as time passed.
The fierce attack not only instantly crushed any probing attacks from this side but also repelled those from other directions.
“Activate Plan B!” After closing her eyes and thinking for a few seconds, Xiao Taohong decisively changed tactics. A group of Wild Wolf organization experts rolled up their sleeves, revealing the shiny rows of flying knives hidden inside.
In Xiao Taohong’s hands appeared several fist-sized objects.
They exchanged glances!
Huh!
The group silently rose to their feet at the same time! Snap! Snap!
They leaped up to the top of the wall, one hand gently gripping the edge while the other rubbed it, producing continuous sounds of metal friction.
The flying knives in the Wild Wolf experts’ hands successively released over a dozen sharp blades!
