Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Dual Kings Siege the City, Golden Cicada’s Shedding
“Is that the Poison Scorpion King?”
Hu Feifei’s eyes widened with excitement, her right hand holding a white short stick, lightly tapping the palm of her left hand, itching for action.
Ye Feng activated his scouting ability.
[Poison Scorpion King: Lower Rank Demon King Peak]
[Talent: Sacrifice]
[Note: A scorpion with a hard shell, at the Demon King level, controls an army of tens of millions of poison scorpions, can temporarily upgrade his cultivation level by sacrificing his kin in critical moments]
“This talent!” Ye Feng’s mouth twitched.
Could this be the legendary “Sacrifice teammates for boundless mana”?
“Quick, increase the speed!”
Ding Qing’s urgent calling resounded in everyone’s ears.
“Yes.” The Protector at the sixth layer of the Element Gathering Realm quickly infused True Yuan into the Spirit Boat, making its speed surge as it flew towards the distant Beiliang City.
At this moment, inside Beiliang City.
Dozens of burly figures clad in armor soared into the sky, standing atop the high towers, each holding a chart in their hands, trying their hardest to stabilize the array.
“You cowardly humans of Beiliang City, do you only dare survive cowering behind your walls?”
The Poison Scorpion King roared.
Countless visible rings of sonic waves, laden with infinite Demon Elemental Force, struck the shield like waves, one after another, causing it to crack.
Crack, crack!
The sound of fracturing was incessant.
The dozens of Element Gathering Realm experts holding the charts trembled violently, their faces pale and blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, yet they still desperately held on, not daring to let go.
They were also the pivot points of the array!
If they let go, the shield would collapse completely.
By then, the millions of beings inside Beiliang City would be overwhelmed by the surging poison scorpion army.
Thus, even in death, they must hold on!
“You little rats of Beiliang City, the king has arrived!”
A mountain range suddenly collapsed; within hundreds of miles, the earth shook and the ground began to cave in, as a super giant python, with lightning arcing on its body and a protruding forehead as if to grow a dragon’s horn, revealed itself.
Behind it, tens of thousands of giant pythons followed, each as thick as a barrel, and the weakest among them was a Lower Rank Demon Soldier.
“Even the Mad Python King has come!”
Ding Qing sat down in the Spirit Boat with a thud, trembling.
Ye Feng looked in the direction of the voice.
[Mad Python King: Lower Rank Demon King Peak]
[Talent: Golden Cicada’s Shedding]
[Note: A mad python that evolved by continuously devouring the bloodlines of others, possesses the talent of Golden Cicada’s Shedding, has an extremely strong survival ability, adept at growing stronger by devouring the bloodlines of powerful foes, is currently on the verge of a breakthrough]
After browsing the Mad Python King’s information, Ye Feng stroked his chin.
Compared to Poison Scorpion King’s selfish talent to sacrifice teammates in order to increase mana, the Mad Python King’s Golden Cicada’s Shedding was a powerful lifesaving skill.
Even if Hu Feifei could beat him, it might not be easy to kill him.
Therefore, Ye Feng said to Hu Feifei, “Princess, target the Mad Python King first when we start fighting, preferably with a one-hit kill.”
“Ah, okay.”
Hu Feifei didn’t quite understand Ye Feng’s intention, but she still followed his command completely.
Boom, boom, boom!
The Poison Scorpion and Mad Python armies charged fiercely, determined to tear apart Beiliang City’s City Protection Array, inflicting such impact that the Element Gathering Realm experts inside were vomiting blood frantically, eventually holding on with an unyielding will.
“Why doesn’t my grandfather take action?”
Ding Qing slumped on the Spirit Boat, his eyes slightly red, his hands gripping the edge of the boat so tightly that his fingertips sunk in without him even realizing.
“Everyone, you have been waiting for a long time!”
In the center of Beiliang City.
A burst of colorful waves erupted, infusing dozens of warm life energies into the bodies of those Element Gathering Realm experts holding the charts, helping them regain consciousness, and their injuries rapidly healed.
“It’s the City Lord!”
The people of Beiliang City were exhilarated.
Ding Qing’s grandfather, Ding Cheng, was the City Lord of Beiliang City, and as for his father, he was the Grand Commander, not the City Lord nor the Deputy City Lord.
With Ding Cheng’s appearance, a pressure from the Peak of the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm spread out, merging into the City Protection Array and fortifying it.
Thud, thud, thud!
Countless poison scorpions and mad pythons struck the shield, but none could break it. The defense of the entire city was now solid as a rock due to Ding Cheng’s appearance.
“My grandfather has become stronger; no wonder he did not appear before. It seems he was breaking through a bottleneck,” Ding Qing exclaimed with joy.
“Has he broken through from the initial stage to the peak of the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm?” Ye Feng murmured to himself, not quite certain.
“Ding Cheng, you old geezer, so you have successfully broken through. But do you really think you can rest easy now?”
The Poison Scorpion King fiercely waved his pincers, instantly killing hundreds of thousands of poison scorpions, sacrificing their power, and his own strength momentarily stepped into the Middle Rank Demon King level.
Crack!
“`
He swung his sharp pincers and, together with the nearby Mad Python King, struck at the same point on the City Protection Array, finally breaking through.
“Charge in, spare no one!”
The Poison Scorpion King thrust forcefully, tearing the hole in the City Protection Array open into a breach dozens of meters in diameter. Countless poison scorpions and thousands of mad pythons had already surged in, igniting a fierce battle with the soldiers of Beiliang City.
This scene tore Ding Qing’s heart to shreds.
“Can’t you go any faster?”
He clenched his fists and roared.
The Protector, already controlling the Spirit Boat with all his might, his forehead covered in large beads of sweat and his complexion looking terrible, said, “Young Master, this is already the fastest speed of the Spirit Boat!”
“Just over a hundred li…”
Ye Feng silently estimated the distance.
He looked at the Fox Lady beside him, who stood up and shouldered a white short stick. She vanished in a flurry of silver light, and the next moment, she appeared more than a hundred li away.
Meanwhile, inside Beiliang City.
City Lord Ding Cheng took a deep breath, began forming hand seals, and pointed towards the sky. A large expanse of blazing flames erupted heavenward, converging into a treasured flame seal a hundred zhang in length and width, crashing to the ground with a thunderous roar.
“Aaaah!”
The poison scorpions and mad pythons that had charged in first were instantly charred to cinders. The searing flames tumbled out through the breach in the City Protection Array, incidentally incinerating hundreds of thousands of poison scorpions; the smell of charring spread with the wind.
Thud!
The nearby civilians who inhaled the toxic air from the atmosphere collapsed on the ground, limbs limp, only able to stare blankly at the sky.
“Ding Cheng, you’re courting death!”
The Poison Scorpion King and Mad Python King, having witnessed the dire losses of their forces, simultaneously charged frantically at the breach of the City Protection Array. With a “crack” sound, the entire array could no longer hold and shattered completely.
As the focus of the array, Ding Cheng, along with dozens of Element Gathering Realm experts, vomited blood simultaneously, suffering heavy injuries.
“The Poison Scorpion King is too strong; I miscalculated!”
Ding Cheng’s face was filled with desolation.
If it weren’t for the fact that, as the focus of the City Protection Array, he had suffered backlash, temporarily weakening him, his cultivation would have been enough to withstand the Poison Scorpion King’s onslaught.
But then, without his reinforcement, the defense array would have been torn apart by the Mad Python King.
“Ding Cheng, you are doomed!”
The Mad Python King opened its mouth, flying into the sky, ready to devour Ding Cheng in one bite and refine him to help itself reach the Middle Rank Demon King Realm.
Swoosh!
A pink figure silently appeared between Ding Cheng and the Mad Python King, the white short stick in her hand suddenly unleashing hundreds of stick shadows.
“Roar!”
Before anyone could understand what had happened, the entire head of the Mad Python King had been smashed to pieces, its massive body plummeting to the ground, crushing onto an empty street that consequently filled with immense cracks.
“What!”
The Poison Scorpion King staggered back in shock.
All the cultivators were dumbstruck.
Millions of poison scorpion armies and mad pythons stood frozen in place.
The Mad Python King, had fallen?
Who had struck?
The next moment, all eyes turned and saw the Fox Princess in midair, holding the white short stick.
“A pink-haired fox lady?”
Everyone stared at her, their faces showing utter disbelief.
Who could have imagined that such a petite and lovely fox lady could be so terrifying!
“Hey, you really aren’t dead, you’re here!”
The Fox Princess paid no attention to the shock of the crowd, her Divine Sense swept out, and she spotted a slightly smaller mad python bursting out from the body of the Mad Python King, its body sparking with lightning as it bolted away at lightning speed.
“Don’t even think about escaping!”
The Fox Princess picked up her stick and chased after it.
“Fox Clan friend, stop chasing him, the Mad Python King has the innate talent of Golden Cicada’s Shedding, making him extremely difficult to kill. Let’s join forces against the Poison Scorpion King first!”
Ding Cheng snapped back to reality and, gathering all his mana, shouted loudly.
However, the Fox Princess couldn’t care less about him and relentlessly pursued the Mad Python King.
“This!”
The cultivators of Beiliang City were mentally exploding.
Just when they had glimpsed hope, the Fox Princess had actually chased after the Mad Python King!
As a result, Beiliang City faced the risk of being breached yet again.
“Hehehe, Mad Python King, keep her busy, and I will break through to kill City Lord Ding Cheng!”
The Poison Scorpion King sneered, unleashing his strongest power to attack the heavily injured Ding Cheng in midair.
A giant pincer enveloped in a terrifying whirlwind descended like the sky falling, set to crush Ding Cheng to death.
“No, don’t!”
Ding Qing’s eyes widened in split desperation.
Numerous cultivators of Beiliang City, too, seemed to have anticipated the upcoming scene of sorrow and couldn’t help but cry.
