Chapter 256: Chapter 166: Is the City Broken?_2
Translator: 549690339
“Charge onto the city wall and break through the Great Wilderness Major City!” A demon beast with a pig’s head and a human body, nearly ten zhang tall, held a black tiger head in each of its hands. Its formidable size and strength set it apart from the rest of the demon beasts that had broken through the Black Tiger Army’s defensive line. It was a Fifth Rank Peak demon beast and also one of the leaders of the demon beast army.
Upon the order of the Pig Monster leader, several Fifth Rank Demon Beasts took the lead, and a large number of demon beasts rushed toward Great Wilderness Major City in a frenzy!
“Swoo.”
A streak of arrow sped across the sky, far surpassing the speed and power of heavy crossbows by dozens of times. A Fifth Rank demon beast tried to dodge but still got hit in one of its arms.
Though its arm didn’t break off instantly, the arrow turned into extreme cold ice. Starting from the wound in its arm, the ice quickly spread in other directions; in an instant, the Fifth Rank demon beast’s entire arm was frozen.
“No good, this is a human sniper, be careful!”
Realizing that it had completely lost all feeling in its frozen arm, the Fifth Rank demon beast immediately shouted.
Be careful.” The other Fifth Rank demon beasts also sensed it and slowed down their movements.
The one who shot the arrow was Liu Wuxie, a Black Tiger Army commander, and their ace archer.
As an ace archer, the bow and arrow were his only weapons.
However, after advancing to the Transforming Origin Realm, he was able to condense True Origin into arrows, reaching the state of winning without arrows.
After advancing to the Origin Fluid Realm, he could even draw on the power of heaven and earth to significantly enhance the power of his arrows. Even the terrifying physical bodies of Fifth Rank demon beasts couldn’t withstand his True Origin Arrow!
“Hmph, merely a human sniper, what’s there to be afraid of?” The Pig Monster leader snorted coldly and rushed out first.
“Swoo swoo swoo swoo!!!”
Liu Wuxie immediately shot one arrow after another at the Pig Monster, and the other set-up heavy crossbows were fired one after another. However, the targets of these heavy crossbows were demon beasts of Third Rank and below.
“Ding ding ding!!!” The Pig Monster leader held a giant black tiger in each of his hands to block the arrows condensed from True Origin, but was struggling to do so. Frost gathered on the axes, and the surrounding air temperature plummeted.
Among those of the same rank, the attacks of ace archers were the most terrifying. Although Liu Wuxie was only in the late stage of the Origin Fluid Realm, the power of his True Origin Arrow at this moment was enough to rival the peak of the Origin Fluid Realm, forcing the Pig Monster leader to barely withstand it.
With Liu Wuxie temporarily restraining the Pig Monster leader, the strong city wall and its defenders were able to hold off the demon beast army’s offensive temporarily.
However, soon, the expressions of the defenders on the city wall changed.
“More demon beasts have broken through the defensive line and are coming!”
From their vantage point on the towering city wall, they could see a dense swarm of demon beasts filling the sky. These demon beasts were aerial types, targeting the Great Wilderness Major City directly.
As this group of flying demon beasts arrived, the morale of the demon beasts attacking the city increased dramatically. After all, the human defenders were up high on the city wall, relying on various siege defenses. It was impossible for the demon beasts to gain any advantage.
Even the formidable Pig Monster leader was struggling under the attack of the human sniper.
“Qinglin, your timing is perfect! Help me deal with that human sniper!” the Pig Monster leader shouted.
“You stupid pig, still need my help, huh!” The Green-Scaled Giant Eagle’s figure was incredibly fast, its massive body streaking through the sky, covered in a layer of green scales that shimmered brilliantly. Its sharp claws were also incredibly impressive.
It moved swiftly, its wings flapping, causing ripples of green waves in the sky and turning into streams of green light as it quickly approached.
“This is bad.”
Seeing this, Liu Wuxie’s expression changed. A single Fifth Rank Peak Pig Monster leader was troublesome enough, and now there was an additional Fifth Rank Peak Green-Scaled Giant Eagle, as well as a group of Fifth Rank demon beasts. The power on the city wall was simply not enough to withstand them.
If these demon beasts were to break through onto the city walls and open the city gates, countless demon beasts would flood into the Spirit Martial Prefecture, resulting in heavy casualties for the humans.
“Commander Liu, you just need to hold off this Pig Monster. I’ll take care of the Green-Scaled Giant Eagle!”
A black-armored martial artist looking exceptionally prestigious and highly-ranked stepped forward from behind him. He was also a commander of the Black Tiger Army, Yu Yuanzhi. However, his strength and position were not comparable to ordinary commanders.
Now, on the city wall, Yu Yuanzhi had the highest status and the strongest power.
The Heavenly Scale Giant Halberd was swung with a ripple of golden light, completely extinguishing the oncoming blue lights.
Suddenly, Yu Yuanzhi soared out, his battle robe fluttering, his aura as imposing as a mountain.
“Abomination, fight me!”
Sharp as a sword and powerful as a rainbow, Yu Yuanzhi’s halberd swept through the air with a wave of golden light, engaging the Green-Scaled Giant Eagle in fierce combat. The sky was enveloped in gold and green lights.
“Hold them back.”
“Don’t let those flying Demon Beasts reach the city walls, or we’ll face endless trouble.”
At this moment, the other Black Tiger Army commanders roared in fury, their faces twisted in anger, urging the dumbstruck soldiers, “Ignore those running on the ground for now and shoot down all the flying beasts in the sky! Hurry and don’t stand there doing nothing!”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
Aside from Liu Wuxie, there were three other expert archers, but they were in the Transforming Origin Realm, and their arrows had no effect on the Fifth Rank Demon Beasts. However, they posed a great threat to the Fourth Rank Demon Beasts.
Under the cooperation of these three expert archers, numerous flying Demon Beasts were killed in quick succession. In the blink of an eye, over thirty flying beasts had been killed by their True Origin Arrows, the weakest of which were ranked Third Rank, and five of them were Fourth Rank.
However, they were unable to harm the numerous Fifth Rank flying beasts that quickly approached from the sky, including the Green-Scaled Giant Eagle, a Fifth Rank Peak Demon Beast. The heavy crossbows could only do so much more.
Soon, one after another, the flying beasts began landing on the city walls.
“Hehehe, our army has finally shown its usefulness. As long as we break down these city walls, an endless amount of human flesh and blood will be served up for us to feast on.”
A Fifth Rank mid-stage giant bird landed on the city wall, flapping its wings to block the incoming attacks. Then, with a violent swoop, it seized a Black Tiger Army commander with its talons, tearing off one of his arms and swallowing it into its beak.
“Hahaha, humans truly are the favorites of heaven and earth. Not only are they delicious, but the essence within their flesh is comparable to that of spirit herbs!” The giant red bird laughed loudly, savoring the taste of the commander held in its talons as it ate the entire body.
“You dare to kill my men, you abomination! Come and pay with your life!” A one-armed commander charged into the fray, his black spear striking like a flood dragon breaking through the water.
The sudden spear strike caused the red bird to panic. It tried to fend off the attack with its scaled wings, only to have them pierced by the terrifying spear force.
Immediately after, numerous spear shadows erupted, filling the entire area and reflecting in the red bird’s eyes, making it impossible to distinguish the real attack from the illusions.
Taken by surprise and lacking adequate defense, the red bird was horrified by the powerful attack and lost its bearings.
Spurt!
As the flood dragon-like spear surged through the air, it tore through the red bird’s wings and pierced its chest, leaving a massive bloody hole.
The one-armed commander was Wang Yinghu. After securing Cloud Water County with his thousands of Black Tiger Army soldiers, Wang had led the remnants of the army to hurriedly reinforce Great Wilderness Major City, which was in grave danger.
In less than two days’ time since he had reported to the camp, Wang had fought in three intense battles, exhausting his True Origin in every encounter.
For Martial Artists in the Origin Fluid Realm to recover their Peak State, it would take at least half a day.
If it weren’t for timely logistic support and an ample supply of pills, Wang wouldn’t have been able to sustain such frequent and violent battles.
In the previous fight, just last night, Wang had lost his left arm due to the intense battle.
However, fortune often favors the unfortunate, as Wang used the injury as an opportunity to break through and advance to the late stage of the Origin Fluid Realm. Not only did his strength not weaken, but it also grew even stronger.
“Soaring Dragon Strike!”
The black spear light was incomparably sharp, tearing through the void as if piercing through everything. The sound of metal clashing produced a painful chill in those who heard it.
“If you want my life, then don’t blame me for taking you down with me!” The red giant bird’s eyes flashed with fierce light as its beak opened and spewed forth a flaming red ball of light. As the ball swelled, it unleashed intense heat and blazing flames that spread out and burned everything in its path.
Spurt!
Atop the city wall, the unstoppable black spear pierced through the void, causing the highly charged fireball to explode. Endless flames splashed in all directions, starting countless fires. Soon, the whole place was engulfed in flames and smoke..
