Chapter 42

The Black Fox Tribe's Chengzhai was huge, housing tens of thousands of Black Fox people.

At this moment, along the walls of the Chengzhai, countless Black Fox warriors wore expressions of deep unease.

Outside the Chengzhai, the ground was packed solid with dense rows of Fox warriors.

And at the very entrance of the Chengzhai, two people knelt on the ground!

These two individuals were unmistakably the sons of the Black Fox Tribe's chieftain.

After the Battle of the Divine Ruins, a few Black Fox people who had been far away managed to escape, and though their numbers were small, they carried word of the defeat.

Thus, the Black Fox warriors on the walls all felt their hearts tremble, unsure whether to fight or not.

"What's there to panic about? We have hundreds of archers, and our stockade is so tall—they can't even reach us!"

A Black Fox man shouted loudly.

This Black Fox man was none other than the younger brother of the Black Fox chieftain; once the chieftain died, he would become the new chieftain!

The temptation of becoming chieftain lay right before him—he would never surrender!

His appearance calmed the hearts of many Black Fox people.

Yes, the walls of the Black Fox Chengzhai were built high and thick, they had hundreds of archers defending it, and though there were thousands outside, they still couldn't scale the walls!

"Kill them."

Seeing that the Black Fox people showed no sign of surrender, Sister Qing Ling ordered.

The White Fox warriors raised their blades and severed the heads of the two sons of the Black Fox chieftain.

This sight struck the Black Fox people inside the Chengzhai once more.

Immediately after, they saw a woman in a silk robe, her face veiled by a light gauze, her figure exquisitely graceful, step forward, holding a staff and softly chanting.

"Magician! It's a magician!"

Some Black Fox people, seeing Mengying, cried out in shock!

On the wall directly above the Chengzhai's main gate, the younger brother of the Black Fox chieftain also saw Mengying.

He also saw the staff growing brighter and brighter.

A wave of intense unease flashed through his heart.

Human magicians differ significantly from beast-tribe shamans.

The most obvious difference is that beast-tribe shamans employ strange and eerie methods.

But human magicians have few techniques—yet their attacks are exceptionally devastating!

"Quick, kill her!"

The younger brother of the Black Fox chieftain shouted.

Countless Black Fox warriors had already nocked arrows and fired at Mengying.

But before Mengying, several White Fox warriors held up large shields, blocking every arrow.

A few seconds later, the light emitted from Mengying's staff had become dazzling.

The younger brother of the Black Fox chieftain began to panic.

But panic was useless now.

For from the sky, a massive fireball crashed down!

"Boom!"

The fireball struck him dead center.

Then it exploded above the Chengzhai's main gate.

The entire main gate of the Chengzhai, like crumbled tofu, was obliterated by the fireball.

Immediately after, flames erupted.

All the warriors there perished in the inferno; the massive gate was completely burned to ashes!

Outside the Chengzhai, all the Fox warriors cheered, shouting the name "Lord of Flame."

Mengying's previous attack was also a divine art.

This was the ability Lin Yan gained after evolving into "Heavenly Fire."

Heavenly Fire—fire descending from the heavens.

If this fireball had struck a human stone city, its effect wouldn't have been so devastating.

But the Black Fox Tribe's Chengzhai were built entirely of wood; even if the base was stone, no matter how tall it was, it was all Bai Da!

After several dozen seconds, the flames at the Chengzhai's main gate began to subside.

"Follow me!"

The dozen or so tribal chieftains eager to prove loyalty to the "Lord of Flame" rushed in first, vying to be first inside.

Afraid someone else would beat them to it!

On the other side, after Mengying's single strike destroyed the Chengzhai's gate and killed the younger brother of the Black Fox chieftain and countless Black Fox warriors, the remaining Black Fox warriors inside turned ashen-faced, their fighting spirit utterly shattered!

The attacking Fox tribes surged forward like a breaking dam; despite the Black Fox Tribe still having thousands of warriors, there was virtually no meaningful resistance!
