Chapter 127

In the blink of an eye.

One day passed.

Early the next morning, the atmosphere in the Heitie Chengbao suddenly became heavy.

Banners fluttered!

Within this Human Race Left Route Army!

Almost all the important figures had gathered on the walls of the Heitie Chengbao.

They looked into the distance.

In that endless wilderness, teams of fierce beast armies surged over, their momentum earth-shaking, kicking up endless dust that blotted out the sky and sun, as if they were about to completely submerge this space.

Orders were strictly followed!

Arriving ten thousand feet away!

All the fierce beasts came to a stop.

The human army formation was majestic, and the fierce beast army was the same; those countless fierce beast formations were arranged, extending into the deepest parts of the endless wilderness, almost reaching the point where one could not see the end.

Those fierce beasts revealed ferocious glares, all emitting a fierce aura.

It permeated the entire sky, making even the Heitie Chengbao, which was at least ten thousand feet away, feel waves of murderous intent.

"They actually arrived so quickly!"

"According to the information gathered by the scouts, they shouldn't have arrived until tomorrow at the earliest!"

"Arriving so quickly, are we prepared?"

Inside the Heitie Chengbao.

Everyone was discussing in whispers, some shocked, some worried, some fearful...

Yet not a single person fled before the battle!

At this moment.

Inside the seventh-floor hall.

The high-level officials were gathered.

Everyone wore a solemn expression, and even the four peak Martial Monarchs from the Zhang and Xu families did not dare to harbor any petty thoughts.

The fierce beast army had assembled!

This battle had reached a critical moment.

Within Qian Cheng, all power had been gathered at these three defensive locations.

Once this place was breached, the fierce beasts could drive straight in, or even encircle them from the reverse, breaching the other two defensive locations. By then, Qian Cheng would truly be completely exposed to the fangs and claws of the fierce beasts!

"The fierce beast war is about to begin. Although the time has been brought forward a bit, you all should have anticipated this situation long ago."

Among the crowd.

Lu Li's voice came slowly.

His gaze was deep, revealing no expression.

"Of the three human defensive locations, although this place has the weakest defensive power, for the sake of the safety of all of Qian Cheng, we must go all out. From now on, everyone will follow my command and resist the fierce beasts with all your might. Anyone who is half-hearted will be executed without mercy."

Lu Li looked at the four peak Martial Monarch ancestors of the Zhang and Xu families, his killing intent chilling.

"As a first-class martial dao family of Qian Cheng, it is Qian Cheng that has guaranteed your continuous growth. With the fierce beast war imminent, you should contribute more power than others. Yesterday, I told the four of you to prepare well. Have you mobilized everyone in your families above the Martial Master level to come?"

The four remained silent in response.

"Hmph, I'll give you another half a day. Before the fierce beasts attack the city, if I find that even one person above the Martial Master level from your two families is still staying in Qian Cheng, don't blame me for being impolite."

"You..."

"If you're not convinced, go find Qian Wang to argue. I am representing the City Lord Mansion now."

Lu Li interrupted.

He ignored the angry expressions of the four and turned to look at Miao Bo.

"The situation is urgent, Miao Bo, come with me to take a look."

Before the words had even faded.

The two of them flashed and left the hall.

Inside the hall, everyone was shocked beyond measure.

They did not expect Lu Li to act so overbearingly, showing no face to the two great first-class martial dao families at all. However, upon thinking of Lu Li's age, they all felt relieved.

If one were not sharp-edged at this age!

How could one achieve the glory that shook Qian Cheng several times?

"During the great battle, I don't want to hear any discordant voices," a peak Martial Monarch from the military reminded.

"We share honor and disgrace; you all had better do as the commander requests," the second one also said coldly.

"Preserving power for the family is fine, but you have to look at the timing. If you mess around at a time like this, be careful of becoming a sinner of Qian Cheng for all eternity," the third one said bluntly.

On the side, the seven academy deans also gave them a deep look and turned to leave.

If it were ordinary times!

It wouldn't matter if they played these petty tricks.

Now that the fierce beast army had arrived, it was a time of crisis and survival. If they played those petty tricks again, not to mention Lu Li not agreeing, they themselves would never sit idly by.

The expressions of the four shifted uncertainly.

Finally, they all sighed softly.

"Forget it, forget it. For the sake of Qian Cheng, let's do as that brat said."

Outside the Heitie Chengbao.

On the towering city walls, Lu Li and Miao Bo appeared.

"Welcome, Commander!"

"Guard the city well, all of you step back."

Lu Li waved his hand.

His gaze flashed, and he looked at the endless fierce beast army arranged ten thousand feet away.

In that endless wilderness, the sky-covering dust was still constantly rising.

The endless fierce beasts gathered!

This vast fierce beast army that had arrived was only a portion that had rushed over urgently, and their cultivation levels were relatively strong; the truly weak ones were far behind.

And the numbers were the greatest!

To assemble them all would take at least the better part of a day!

"Looking at this fierce beast formation, I fear they are countless, right?" Lu Li's expression was also somewhat solemn.

"They are indeed countless!"

Miao Bo nodded gently.

"Since the recovery of spirit energy, the reproductive ability of fierce beasts has greatly increased. Those weak fierce beasts are simply impossible to count. As long as the Kings summon them, they will swarm over."

Miao Bo paused.

His gaze also looked toward the endless fierce beast army.

"However, it doesn't matter. Although the number of those fierce beasts is huge, they are also very blind. As long as the leading fierce beasts are killed, they will be leaderless and at a loss, and in the end, they might even trample each other to death."

"In that case, we need to target and kill those fierce beast powerhouses?" Lu Li asked.

"In the past, when fighting against fierce beasts, that was indeed how it was done, but..."

Miao Bo gave a bitter smile.

"Now the fierce beasts are strong, with two Kings watching covetously from the side. I fear this set of tactics will no longer work. On the contrary, they might even target and kill our human powerhouses."

"That is indeed somewhat troublesome."

Lu Li's eyes flickered.

Just as he was pondering, a huge snow-white figure flew out from the midst of the endless fierce beast army. That figure was fierce and majestic, emitting waves of terrifying pressure, as if it were about to completely crush that space, making one feel a sense of being unable to match it.

It was precisely the Baihu Wang, one of the two Kings of this fierce beast army!

The Baihu Wang stood in the long sky.

Its voice, dull as thunder, came rapidly.

"In yesterday's battle, who was it that destroyed my vanguard fierce beast army with the strength of one person? Come out and let me see you."

"What!"

Upon hearing this!

Everyone in the castle revealed intense shock.

They had long received news that the vanguard fierce beast army was surging over, far ahead of this assembled army.

But until now!

They had not appeared.

Everyone thought it was just the fierce beasts bluffing.

Now, having heard the Baihu Wang admit it personally!

They finally understood!

That the vanguard fierce beast army hadn't failed to come.

But had been destroyed by one person!

Was there truly such a powerful powerhouse hidden within this Heitie Chengbao they were guarding?
