Chapter 245: Chapter 162: Slaying Demons, Accumulating Points
Translator: 549690339
Soon, the two of them completed their information registration and received a jade token.
Martial Artists and soldiers who possess this token can earn points by slaying Demon Beasts.
These points correspond to their value, and can be exchanged for various items after the war is over, based on the amount of points stored in the jade token. “Commander Xu, these two will join your team!”
A high-ranking officer of the Black Tiger Army, responsible for registering the Martial Artists, called out to a sturdy, dark-skinned general in black armor.
Commander Xu, who was in the middle stage of the Origin Fluid Realm, looked at Lu Yun and Liang Shaowen with a smile on his face.
“Hahaha, finally, I got two decent ones.”
Both of them were at the Transforming Origin Realm, and Lu Yun was even at its peak. With their cultivation base, they would be a great addition to the team he led.
As every moment passed, new Martial Artists continued to arrive at Great Wilderness Major City. Lu Yun and Liang Shaowen followed Commander Xu out of the square and headed to their camp.
Along the way, they saw countless Martial Artists and a massive Black Tiger Army, a sight far grander than when they had defended East Field Giant City against the beast tide.
At the same time, the two realized that the upcoming battle would be unprecedentedly fierce.
This kind of fight was not a one-on-one battle, but a large-scale melee. The strength of a single person would not have a significant impact unless it reached a certain level.
Commander Xu’s team consisted of more than 2,500 Black Tiger soldiers and over 400 Martial Artists, including Lu Yun, totaling less than 3,000 in all—far from reaching even three-fifths of their full strength. And this did not even take into account the reinforcements they had been receiving.
This showed just how great the price paid to defend this Great Wilderness Major City was.
However, no matter the cost, the Great Wilderness Major City must be defended.
“Up to now, we have engaged in ten fierce battles with the Demon Beasts. There will be more intense battles ahead, and perhaps some of us will fall, including myself.”
“But I want to tell you that as long as you survive this battle, Cultivation Techniques, pills, and weapons will not be a problem.”
“The more Demon Beasts you kill, the greater your gains.”
With twinkling eyes, Commander Xu looked down at the Martial Artists and Black Tiger soldiers, delivering an impassioned speech to boost morale.
At that moment, the war horn sounded in the distance.
“Dammit, they won’t even let us rest. Here they come again!”
Commander Xu’s face turned grim as he glanced at the darkened sky in the distance. He bellowed, “Follow me and repel the enemy!”
“Move out!”
The various commanders waved their hands and shouted in unison.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
The soldiers and Martial Artists of the Black Tiger Army began running, the ground shaking beneath their feet.
They quickly reached the top of the city wall of the Great Wilderness Major City.
Hiss!
Upon seeing the scene from miles away, even the normally composed Lu Yun couldn’t help but gasp.
An endless wave of Demon Beasts charged, raising billowing clouds of dust as demon energy filled the sky like black clouds. The trembling of the ground echoed through the heavens.
“Damn, this is the first time I’ve ever seen such a terrifying tide of Demon Beasts!” Liang Shaowen muttered, his spear glowing faintly.
These Demon Beasts had huge bodies and ferocious faces, brimming with brutal, bloodthirsty auras. Like a boundless tidal wave, they surged towards the Great Wilderness Major City.
“This is horrifying!” Another Martial Artist in the Transforming Origin Realm exclaimed, admiration for the Black Tiger Army welling up as he witnessed the massive-scale attack of the Demon Beasts.
If such an enormous army of Demon Beasts were to flatten the Great Wilderness Major City and enter Morign territory, it would mean absolute devastation.
Boom!
A dark shadow descended from the sky.
It was the main commander stationed in the Great Wilderness Major City, Lu Shengyong. He unleashed a terrifying aura, smashing his fist into the leading Demon Beasts. Their blood sprayed like rain, staining the ground crimson.
Defying gravity, the air around him rippled as he killed these Demon Beasts with the ease of crushing ants, for he was at the peak of the Golden Body Realm.
He slashed his sword, a streak of light as fast as the limits allowed; the sword’s radiance burst forth as it struck the earth, cleaving it apart. Numerous Third and Fourth Rank Demon Beasts splintered apart, their blood spurting out. “Humans, your opponent is me!”
This Demon Beast had an elephant head and human body. Standing ten meters tall, it had a pair of long eyebrows, phoenix-like eyes, a beautiful voice, and a maw with fangs. Its nose resembled a flood dragon, and its powerful aura was like a storm.
If anyone familiar with this Demon Beast were here, they would recognize it as a Sixth Rank peak Six-Tusked Black Elephant from deep within the Cloud Dream Mountain Range.
The Six-Tusked Black Elephant soared skywards, its fist-like hooves charging at Lu Shengyong.
Boom!
With a despair-inducing slash, the Six-Tusked Black Elephant was crushed down, leaving a deep crater in the ground. Around it, Demon Beasts were struck dead by the impact.
Roar!
From the pit emerged the towering Six-Tusked Black Elephant. Its enormous maw had six pillar-like tusks, and its thick, flood dragon-like trunk gleamed with a black luster. Just one glance at it, with the strong demon energy that swirled around it like dark clouds, was enough to evoke intense despair and terror.
The huge Six-Tusked Black Elephant, almost 80 meters tall, charged into the sky, drawing forth a turbulent demon energy as it attacked Lu Yongsheng once again.
Its trunk, like a flood dragon, stirred the wind and clouds and shook heaven and earth; it remained unscathed even as it collided with Lu Yongsheng’s powerful sword strike..
