Chapter 1761: Encountered a Tough Opponent
On the battlefield of Jingdu, a Heavenly Eye appeared in the sky!
The fierce nuclear strike had indeed temporarily forced the beast tide to retreat, but the pungent stench of blood soon drove the tide to surge forward again!
And this time, it was even fiercer than before!
On this side, they had no fewer than three Dao Heaven rank powerhouses defending the city: Zhao Dezhu, the executioner Wang Zong—Old Man Wang—and Ye Zhenguo!
That was the only reason they had held out until now!
Even the number of Dao Heaven beasts they had slain had exceeded five, and the level of the beast tide far surpassed everyone's imagination!
Now, the beast tide was pressing forward again. The exhausted Spirit Martial troops and trainees once more threw themselves into the fray!
The battlefield was utter chaos!
Zhao Dezhu held the frontline, standing at the very forefront of battle!
His golden dragon armor had long been stained red with blood, and the golden dragon shield in his hands was covered in scars of war.
Facing the vast sea of beasts charging toward him, Zhao Dezhu let out a thunderous roar!
"Iron Body! Thorny Counter Armor! Golden Bell Cover!"
Golden light flashed across his body in rapid succession!
"Enemy of the World!"
A dazzling red glow burst forth. Under the taunt skill, countless spirit beasts charged madly at Zhao Dezhu like they had lost their minds!
Including that Dao Heaven rank Silver-backed Honey Badger!
At this moment, Zhao Dezhu became the sole target of the entire beast tide!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Innumerable powerful innate spiritual arts slammed violently into Zhao Dezhu. Beast claws struck furiously against him!
Yet they only produced a series of clanging sounds. The spirit beasts, instead, were forced to cough up blood from the counter-damage, their bodies cracking open!
Zhao Dezhu planted his golden dragon shield in front of him, his legs firmly rooted like Mount Tai, holding a horse stance without the slightest tremor!
In the blink of an eye, the beast swarm Zhao Dezhu had pulled in had even formed a massive mountain of beasts surrounding him!
Countless spirit beasts flooded toward Zhao Dezhu, one after another!
The Silver-backed Honey Badger's armor-piercing claws slammed against the golden dragon shield again and again, sending sparks flying. Even as it coughed up blood from the impact, it kept attacking relentlessly!
Zhao Dezhu merely stared calmly at the honey badger, his eyes completely devoid of emotion!
In that moment, Zhao Dezhu was like an indestructible object in a game—no matter how hard they hit him, he wouldn't fall!
Zhao Dezhu threw his head back and roared, "Old Wang! Old Li! Hold them! Clear a wave!"
Wang Zong charged over like a blood-red lightning bolt!
His face, drenched in blood, was filled with madness and savagery!
"Hahaha! I'm old as hell, and I still get the damn chance to charge through a battlefield? Is there anything more thrilling in this world than this?"
"Slayer God • Decapitation!"
Boundless killing intent spread outward. The blood-colored radiance on Wang Zong's body blazed to its limit!
Gripping the large ring-headed saber wrapped in red cloth with both hands, he bellowed and charged straight into the beast swarm!
Like a sprinting meat grinder, blood splattered everywhere he passed. The ring-headed saber swung so fast it left afterimages, and the beasts fell like wheat being cut!
Without exception, all were decapitated—massive heads spun through the air as they flew off!
Old Man Wang Zong seemed to have a particular fondness for beheading!
At this moment, on the chaotic battlefield, a disheveled Wang Zhan, Xiang Zu, and the others stared in terror at the Old Wang-brand meat grinder!
This was the real damn Slayer God!
Nothing seemed to be able to stop his advance. Just one look at him and your legs would go weak, you know?
Just then, Li Kai slammed both hands on the ground and roared!
"Earth Escape • Spear of the Earth!"
Although Old Man Li Kai hadn't reached the Dao Heaven rank, his attack power was still terrifying!
Huge earth spikes erupted viciously from the ground, each one soaring hundreds of meters high!
Countless spirit beasts were skewered from below like candied hawthorns, pinned directly onto the spikes!
Wang Zong's blood-red figure flashed past, and all the spirit beasts stuck on the spikes had their heads chopped off!
In the distance, a hundred-meter energy beam shot fiercely over, engulfing whole swaths of beasts in its violent energy!
That was Ye Zhenguo's Dragon Breath!
At that moment, the golden glow on Zhao Dezhu's dragon armor grew even more radiant!
"Kinetic Release!"
"Boom!"
An infinite burst of golden light erupted, spreading outward like a shockwave. The beast mountain that had pressed him down was blown apart!
Hundreds of spirit beasts were sent flying into the sky!
The Silver-backed Honey Badger was also sent flying backward, coughing up blood from the impact. But at that moment, Zhao Dezhu moved his shield aside and lunged forward!
The muscles in his right arm bulged like writhing dragons!
He swung with all his might!
"Bone-Shattering Strike!"
"Boom!"
His fist slammed heavily into the Silver-backed Honey Badger's chest. The sickening sound of cracking bones rang out!
The creature's massive body, over a hundred meters long, was blasted past the speed of sound, shooting off like a cannonball!
And just then, Wang Zong charged at the flying honey badger!
He swung his ring-headed saber in a fierce slash!
"One Slash, All Directions!"
His body suddenly accelerated sharply. The blood-colored blade swept across, stretching far into the distance. It was as if the world itself had been split apart!
The honey badger's massive head was severed cleanly and rolled to the ground!
The headless beast corpse tumbled far away!
In that moment, the trainees—Wang Zhan, Xiang Zu, Yu Qingqing, and the others—were all flushed with excitement!
The old-timers were absolutely incredible! Old Man Wang, who barely had any teeth left, was fighting with savage brutality!
And Pillar Zhao was just too tanky, wasn't he? Surrounded by so many spirit beasts, he didn't even lose a sliver of health?
Hualing, in her giant form, wearing a Hulk-brand bikini, was quite a striking sight on the battlefield!
But at this moment, her pretty face was deathly pale!
"Th... what is that?!"
Her voice trembled!
Even from far away, they could clearly see a silver giant wolf, over a kilometer in size, charging toward them from the north!
Its mouth was dripping with fresh blood, and even between the gaps of its fangs were wedged broken limbs!
Human limbs!
Its enormous figure was far too conspicuous!
Behind it followed countless Moon-Howling Wolves. Even the beast swarms along the way submitted to the Moon-Howling Wolf King's might and joined the charge!
Yang Jian's urgent voice rang out in everyone's minds!
"Watch out! This beast swarm came from Jincheng! Jincheng has already fallen! We absolutely cannot let them break through the line, or Jingdu will be lost!"
Ye Zhenguo's face turned grim. A Moon-Howling Wolf King of this size? That was the level of a ruler in the Lingxu!
Had a spirit beast of this level even broken out of the spirit calamity?
It was the same size as the ancient giant beast Leviathan!
Its rank was unquestionably Dao Heaven Ten Stars Peak!
Before his voice had even faded, Zhao Dezhu was about to activate Enemy of the World!
No matter what rank it was, he would pull it over first. The Jingdu defense line couldn't withstand a monster like that!
But at that moment, the massive body of the Moon-Howling Wolf King suddenly executed a Flash Shadow Thrust!
At an astonishing speed!
Like a silver meteor, it shot straight toward the Jingdu defense line, smashing everything in its path to pieces with its claws!
Hualing: !!!
Without a second thought, she dove and hugged a group of people, carrying Yu Qingqing and Xiang Zu as she dodged to the side!
The Moon-Howling Wolf King's figure flashed past!
Hualing was caught on the edge—her leg was severed on the spot, blood spraying everywhere. The defense line was directly breached!
Large numbers of Spirit Martial troops fell in an instant. Even the hundred-meter-high wall was broken through in a single charge!
It rushed straight into Jingdu City, crushing entire buildings in its path!
Ye Zhenguo's eyes were bloodshot. He flashed over and stood in front of the Moon-Howling Wolf King!
"Dragon Might!"
An overwhelming repulsive force spread out wildly, centering on Ye Zhenguo, finally forcing the Moon-Howling Wolf King to stop!
But Ye Zhenguo was also sent flying back, coughing up blood. He roared, "Old Zhao! Pull it away!"
Before Ye Zhenguo could even finish, Zhao Dezhu had already activated Enemy of the World!
But at that moment, the Moon-Howling Wolf King threw its head back and howled at the sky!
"Awooo~"
An endless, cold moonlight radiated from its body, forming a phantom of a bright moon behind it!
It was the Wolf King's Moon Howl!
Under the moonlight, its kilometer-sized body slowly shrank, as if undergoing super evolution!
It transformed into a three-meter-tall werewolf form, with muscles tautly packed, covered in silver wolf fur, and an eye-catching set of abs!
Its claws were razor-sharp. Around its neck, a ring of silver fur billowed in the wind. Its pupils were blue, and a layer of bright moonlight draped over it!
Under the moonlight's embrace, it was completely unaffected by the taunt skill—it didn't attack Zhao Dezhu at all!
Its blue eyes locked onto Ye Zhenguo!
Following the Moon-Howling Wolf King's howl, the wolf pack that had charged up began to howl as well!
They, too, transformed into werewolf forms, bearing moons on their backs!
Ye Zhenguo's expression turned extremely grim. The concentrated ones were the essence. This time, they had truly encountered a tough opponent!
Such a spirit beast had never even appeared in this era. What this ghostly spirit skill did was completely unknown!
But the taunt didn't work? It was immune to negative statuses?
Ye Zhenguo's expression hardened. He opened his mouth wide and spewed a blast directly at the Moon-Howling Wolf King!
The hundred-meter-thick energy beam even warped space itself!
But the moonlight on the Moon-Howling Wolf King suddenly blazed intensely, and in the blink of an eye, it vanished from Ye Zhenguo's sight!
It moved so fast it left afterimages. Even its claws were coated in a layer of bright moonlight!
"Shlash!"
A silver afterimage flashed past in front of him. Blood splashed directly onto Ye Zhenguo's face!
Looking down, he saw that his spiritual armor, and even his dragon scale armor, had all been shattered. Even his chest had been ripped open!
He had nearly been cleaved apart by the wolf's claws!
Ye Zhenguo: !!!
What the hell kind of speed was this?
It dodged the Dragon Breath and cut him down at the same time?
"Revitalize All Things!"
A willow tree phantom appeared. As endless light rain scattered down, Ye Zhenguo's wounds healed at an incredible speed!
It was Liu Cuicui, who had arrived just in time!
But now, the Moon-Howling Wolf King was rampaging through Jingdu!
Wang Zong, saber in hand, roared and charged at it!
"Killing Momentum!"
A rolling tide of killing intent erupted like a wave. The Moon-Howling Wolf King's pupils shrank violently. Every hair on its body stood on end, and its body stiffened!
Wang Zong swung his saber in a fierce slash straight for its neck!
"Shlash!" The blade swept through, its blood-colored edge extending far!
But the Moon-Howling Wolf King, draped in white moonlight, had its power severely weakened the moment the blade cut in!
Nevertheless, it opened a wound on its neck—its throat was slashed open!
However, the next moment, under the moonlight, the wound on the Moon-Howling Wolf King's neck healed at an incredible speed!
Wang Zong's eyes widened in shock!
Self-healing too?
At that moment, the Moon-Howling Wolf King reacted. It thrust forward, its claws slashing out, and ripped open Wang Zong's belly!
Fortunately, Wang Zong blocked with his saber, or he would have been gutted!
Liu Cuicui gritted her teeth and hurriedly applied a healing skill!
Zhao Dezhu roared, "Can't hold this beast! Use that move!"
Ye Zhenguo's face darkened. They had no choice but to resort to that.
