Translator: 549690339
Boom!
Not far away, the ground shook as countless Demon Beasts broke through the army’s interception and roared towards East Field Giant City. The demonic energy in the sky pressed down like oppressive black clouds, casting a shadow over the hearts of the people waiting nervously on the city walls.
“Prepare the Breaking God Crossbow!”
At the commander’s order, the already loaded Breaking God Crossbows fired simultaneously. Thousands of thick and powerful crossbow bolts shot out, unleashing their terrifying force.
The first wave of Demon Beasts leading the charge was directly pierced by the crossbow bolts, with many more collapsing behind them.
“Screech!”
A loud cry resounded, and a huge Green-Scaled Giant Eagle appeared in everyone’s eyes.
Spreading its wings, its massive body was like a small mountain, howling out a fierce gust of wind as it flew towards the city wall.
“Fire!”
The Breaking God Crossbows shot out simultaneously, but the thick and powerful bolts that fell on the eagle only burst into sparks, causing no damage whatsoever.
Its only effect was to momentarily delay the approaching monster.
Although the attack didn’t cause any damage, it made the eagle experience intense pain.
“Screech!”
The Green-Scaled Giant Eagle roared in fury, its wings flapping as feathers shot out, turning into sharp arrows that flew towards the people on the city wall.
“Danger!”
Lu Yun and Xiao Chen’s hair stood on end as they sensed the terrifying crisis from the rapidly approaching feathers. They all hurriedly gathered their True Qi to confront the imminent danger.
“Wretched beast, your opponent is me!”
Unbeknownst to them, an assistant general clad in black armor flew out from the city wall. He had a strong build and a powerful aura, wielding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other.
Just as the Green-Scaled Giant Eagle’s attack was about to land, the shield, infused with the assistant general’s True Origin, emitted a dazzling radiance. A massive barrier of light formed and continued to expand.
The powerful onslaught of feathers hit the barrier, producing a cracking sound.
The attack, which posed a great threat to Lu Yun and the others, was easily neutralized.
The black-armored assistant general then put away his shield, brandishing his long spear and charging towards the Green-Scaled Giant Eagle in the sky.
“All soldiers, follow me in slaying the demons!”
Another black-armored assistant general leaped out, his body enveloped in powerful True Origin fluctuations. Jumping off the city wall, he swung his blade, unleashing an ocean of sword Qi that brought down a horde of Demon Beasts.
“Slay the demons!”
The city gate opened, and the prepared army within the city charged out. Their battle cries filled the air and shook the city walls!
“Brother Lu, let’s slay the demons together and see who can kill the most!” Zhang Kuang laughed as he suddenly jumped off the city wall and drew his blade to slay the Demon Beasts.
Lu Yun didn’t respond. He glanced at Xiao Chen beside him and noticed that he now seemed like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed. The fierce radiance emanating from him was blinding.
“We shall compete as well.”
Xiao Chen said indifferently before leaping into action. At the same time, the Heavenly Rainbow Sword was instantly unsheathed. The astonishing sword radiance burst forth, like thunderbolts exploding, piercing through the head of a Third Rank Demon Beast.
“The first beast!”
Xiao Chen shouted, his body flickering, leaving a doppelganger behind. When he reappeared, the Heavenly Rainbow Sword had penetrated the heart of another Demon Beast.
“What a fast sword and powerful penetration. What a terrifying power, this guy must have comprehended Sword Intent,” thought Lu Yun.
Others might not know about Xiao Chen, but Lu Yun was very familiar with his background.
At this point, Xiao Chen had only refined his True Qi three or four times, yet his power was no less than that of martial artists at the limit of the True Qi Realm.
He could only possess such strength if he had indeed comprehended Sword Intent, which would have greatly amplified his power.
“The third beast!”
As Lu Yun hesitated, Xiao Chen’s voice came from afar once more.
“Hahaha, interesting.” Lu Yun chuckled lightly as he charged down the city wall towards the approaching Demon Beasts.
He wasn’t interested in Zhang Kuang’s proposal, but Xiao Chen was another matter altogether.
He wanted to see for himself the extent of his partner’s swordsmanship.
Using the Gale Thunder Flash Step, Lu Yun surpassed the army in an instant, entering the fray against the oncoming horde of Demon Beasts.
The White Scale Purple Gold Knife was unsheathed, releasing an awe-inspiring aura. At the same time, the Pure Yang Aura within his Dantian swirled like the sun, frenziedly converging towards the blade.
In a blink of an eye, the White Scale Purple Gold Knife was surrounded by aggressive aura, and the dazzling radiance of the blade began to bloom.
An all-encompassing strike!
The overwhelming blade radiance slashed horizontally across the battlefield.
Boom!
The powerful strike resembled a surging wave, tearing through the Demon Beast army, leaving nothing in its wake.
One after another, the Demon Beasts were sliced apart by the terrifying blade radiance.
Heads, limbs, necks, torsos, and eyes were severed, bodies split apart, and a rain of blood and flesh flew through the air.
With just one swing, at least twenty or thirty Demon Beasts were killed.
Among them were two Third Rank Demon Beasts.
Hiss!
How powerful!
Seeing this scene, the faces of the numerous martial artists and soldiers were filled with awe. The power displayed by Lu Yun was immense; one strike had yielded such great results.
“Lu Yun, is this your true strength? No wonder you make me feel so threatened,” muttered Liang Shaowen. He then charged forward, sweeping his long spear, unleashing vast True Qi and spear radiance. Numerous Demon Beasts were sent flying, with one Third Rank Demon Beast killed on the spot.
“All of you are using your trump cards. I can’t afford to hold back any longer.”
Liu Wuhen threw his folding fan as it pierced through seven or eight Demon Beasts. Then, he unsheathed the sword around his waist, and an enormous amount of sword Qi erupted. With its sharp and fierce sword radiance, it was as if he could sweep away an entire herd of beasts with a single swing..
