Chapter 257: Chapter 167: The Cunning and Treacherous Golden Roar
Translator: 549690339
As the flying monsters overwhelmed the city walls, the previously barely-holding situation was finally broken.
“We can’t hold them off anymore!” The three Transforming Origin Realm archers went berserk, killing one monster after another. However, there were just too many of them, and it was impossible to eliminate them all, especially since the Fourth Rank monsters were not that easy to kill.
Once all the monsters were on the walls, their effectiveness as archers would be greatly reduced.
Seeing the countless monsters climbing the walls, the defense pressure of the Black Tiger Army increased, and they felt desperate. Could they really defend the city against so many monsters with their capabilities alone?
“Why are so many monsters coming? Can’t the Black Tiger Army outside the city hold them off?” Liu Wuxie felt hopeless too. The True Origin Arrows he shot had a huge power, and even the Fifth Rank peak monsters could be injured, but it also took a great toll on Liu Wuxie’s energy.
Merely shooting a dozen arrows, half of Liu Wuxie’s True Origin energy inside his body had been depleted. But the pig monster who had a human body and a pig head received no damage. It wielded its double axes and blocked all his arrows.
Critically, several flying monsters including numerous Fifth Rank monsters had already reached the city walls, massacring the Black Tiger Army soldiers and destroying the heavy crossbows and defense equipment.
In addition, seven Fifth Rank monsters among the beast horde had also climbed the city walls, joining the attack on Liu Wuxie.
As a divine archer, Liu Wuxie was unmatched in long-range combat within his rank, but not so in close combat.
“If I continue to hold off the pig monster, I won’t be able to get away.” With glinting eyes and a made-up mind, Liu Wuxie made his decision and swiftly vanished from where he stood.
As an archer, although he didn’t possess the strongest speed among his peers, he was definitely in the group of the fastest ones, as he quickly put distance between himself and the monsters surrounding him.
He stood tall, his body tensing as he gathered strength. He opened his five fingers, placing them on the bowstring. A silvery moon-like longbow appeared, charged with True Origin energy that surged forth and materialized a silver-white arrow out of thin air.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the True Origin Arrows were condensed, the air temperature around him plummeted.
“Hiss!” An arrow shot out.
Tearing through the air with a force like a frigid flash of light, the arrow’s speed was truly unthinkable.
“Boom.”
The explosive force pierced through a Fifth Rank monster and continued through a Fourth Rank one behind it.
Where the ice-cold arrows fell, the temperature plunged, and within dozens of feet around, everything turned into a frozen wasteland. All low-level monsters who couldn’t escape in time were turned into ice sculptures.
One arrow killed one Fifth Rank early-stage monster and compelled another to retreat. The terrifying scene captured the attention of the other monsters.
“What a terrifying archer! We cannot let him continue to shoot!” The pig monster charged wildly, leaped through the sky like a storm, and landed on the walls dozens of feet high.
Rumble!
The pig monster’s enormous figure shook the ground and shattered the bricks, even the surrounding air churned violently, roaring like a surging river.
With a double axe in hand and shrouded in demon energy, the pig monster looked like a fearsome giant demon, its eyes glowing eerily.
“Hmph, once I get closer to you, I’ll tear you to pieces!” The pig monster darted along the walls, stirring up a fierce wind, and the nearby monsters and Black Tiger Army soldiers were blown away by the force of its run.
“It’s coming for me!”
Liu Wuxie’s sensed danger instinctively and was alerted when the pig monster leaped onto the city wall. Seeing it rapidly approaching him, he unleashed his powerful True Origin energy, and his silver light flickered.
The cold light in his eyes shimmered as he promptly changed direction and shot at the pig monster without hesitation.
Hiss!
His arrow split into three icy light beams, each as powerful as the previous ones.
The pig monster sensed the threat and changed course to dodge the chilling attack.
However, the three ice arrows seemed to have a life of their own, changing direction as the pig monster shifted, as if they wouldn’t be satisfied until they hit their target.
“It’s so hard to deal with!” The pig monster, unable to shake off the arrows, was both annoyed and angered. Violent emotions surged in its heart.
Roar!
As it roared, its body grew even larger, and the axes it held grew with it as well.
As the monster’s body enlarged, its agility declined, but its strength increased. It shielded itself with its axes to block the incoming arrows.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
All three icy arrows struck the axes, causing the pig monster to stagger back while frost formed all around it, leaving a trail of icy terrain in its wake.
Seizing the opportunity, Liu Wuxie rapidly took out a glossy pill filled with Transforming Origin energy and consumed it.
It was a Fifth Grade pill called the True Origin Pill. Although less precious than the Origin Extreme Pill, it allowed Liu Wuxie to quickly restore almost 30% of his depleted True Origin energy after consumption.
“Huff, huff, huff!!!’1 Struggling to block the three previous arrows, the pig monster gasped for breath. But its giant eyes were filled with excitement.
“He has started to take pills; it seems like he cannot shoot that powerful attack continuously.”
After consuming the pill, Liu Wuxie’s body flickered silver, and he employed swift movements to evade the monster.
He had just used the Trifecta Streamlight, which he could only use three times even in his peak state. Despite such a powerful attack, the pig monster managed to block it, revealing its formidable strength. With his body heavily drained of True Origin energy, Liu Wuxie dared not delay further and could only retreat..
