Chapter 129: Fierce Battle (Please Subscribe)

Above the Heitie Chengbao.

The intense artillery fire continued.

A century ago, human technology was extremely advanced!

There were many large-scale weapons of mass destruction, some of which could even affect Martial Monarch-level powerhouses.

But, without exception!

Those weapons all carried intense radiation!

And that radiation could further help the Fierce Beasts evolve. Having no other choice, over the following century, they were all destroyed or sealed away, though in the end, a batch remained.

These remaining weapons had no radiation, and their destructive power was not particularly strong.

Yet, they were more than enough to deal with Fierce Beasts below the Grandmaster level!

A batch of such weapons had been transported into this Heitie Chengbao, making them perfectly suited for dealing with these scouting pawns of the Fierce Beasts.

Under that intense artillery fire, squads of Fierce Beasts were overturned.

Blood stained everything red!

Severed limbs were everywhere!

Countless Fierce Beasts screamed as they fell; the battlefield was a scene of carnage.

However, the number of low-level Fierce Beasts in the Fierce Beast army was immense, and they were not afraid of attrition at all. After that round of shelling, a Peak Martial Monarch-level Fierce Beast commander waved its beast claw, and squad after squad of Fierce Beasts surged forward like a tidal wave once again.

Just like that!

Under the impact of these successive waves of low-level Fierce Beasts, the ammunition was finally exhausted.

"Boom!"

The Fierce Beasts continued to charge!

They slammed violently against the Heitie Chengbao.

In an instant, a faint purple light barrier rose above the Heitie Chengbao. That light barrier enveloped the entire Heitie Chengbao, and the moment those Fierce Beasts collided with it, it released bursts of terrifying, murderous spiritual light.

It permeated within ten zhang of the Heitie Chengbao, piercing through every attacking Fierce Beast.

"Roar!"

After a series of intense screams.

Beneath the Heitie Chengbao, countless Fierce Beast corpses piled up.

But, they were fearless of death!

They still rushed forward one after another, surging toward the Heitie Chengbao.

Rumble!

The purple light barrier shook continuously.

After half an hour, it gradually dimmed.

"Not good, the protective array is about to break!"

"These low-level Fierce Beasts are truly terrifying; as long as they are driven by high-level Fierce Beasts, they will blindly throw their lives away."

"Indeed, so many have died, yet they show not the slightest intention of retreating!"

Above the Heitie Chengbao.

Everyone looked at the mountain of Fierce Beast corpses, feeling a chill in their hearts.

These low-level Fierce Beasts were so fearless of death!

How could they be stopped?

If this continued, I fear even this protective array would be broken!

Just as everyone was worried!

The purple light barrier suddenly dissipated. With a "creak," the gates of the Heitie Chengbao opened, and squads of soldiers in battle gear surged out like a tide. Led by several Martial Spirit-level powerhouses, they violently charged into the remaining Fierce Beast formation.

"Boom!"

The great battle erupted!

The combat strength of the remaining Fierce Beast army was not very high; the strongest among them were merely a few leading Grandmaster-level Fierce Beasts. Led by those few Martial Spirit-level powerhouses, they were all quickly slaughtered.

"Roar!"

Ten thousand zhang away!

That Peak Martial Monarch-level Fierce Beast saw the human army appear and immediately let out a roar.

Behind it!

Squad after squad of Fierce Beasts rushed out.

This time, the Fierce Beasts were as vast as the sea, far more imposing than before. At the very front of those Fierce Beasts, dozens of Martial Spirit-level Fierce Beasts leaped into the air, speeding toward the Heitie Chengbao.

Those few human Martial Spirit-level powerhouses had not yet led their men back into the Heitie Chengbao!

They were heavily surrounded by them.

A distance of ten thousand zhang!

For Grandmaster-level Fierce Beasts and below, it might take some time to rush, but in the eyes of those powerful Fierce Beasts at the Martial Spirit level and above, it was instantaneous.

Seeing those few human Martial Spirit-level powerhouses surrounded, everyone suddenly understood.

This distance was something they had specifically chosen!

Within that Fierce Beast army, there were countless low-level Fierce Beasts that could be used for one-time attrition. As long as they exhausted the various hidden means within the Heitie Chengbao, the human powerhouses would be forced to leave the city for a decisive battle.

And as soon as the human powerhouses left the city, they would send even stronger Fierce Beasts to surround and attack!

It happened in an instant!

Just like now!

They didn't even have a chance to retreat back into the Heitie Chengbao!

This was a calculated scheme!

The Fierce Beast army relied on its immense strength and the countless low-level Fierce Beasts available for attrition to come up with such a method. By simply choosing another suitable distance, they left everyone with no way to respond.

Rumble!

Outside the Heitie Chengbao.

The intense battle sounded once again.

Under the siege of dozens of Martial Spirit-level Fierce Beasts, those few human Martial Spirit-level powerhouses huddled together, barely holding on. The subordinates who had followed them out could only stay far away, unable to intervene in such a battle at all.

Everyone knew!

It wouldn't be long before these few were surrounded and killed.

"Damn it!"

Inside the Heitie Chengbao.

Everyone cursed.

They had the heart to go down and rescue them, but they also knew that as soon as they stepped out of this Heitie Chengbao, the Fierce Beasts would inevitably send even stronger powerhouses. If this cycle continued, it would only trigger the decisive battle prematurely.

"What do we do now? Are we just going to watch them be surrounded and killed by the Fierce Beasts?"

"If we don't save them, who will dare to leave the city to face the enemy next time?"

"But if we go down, I fear we will be surrounded by the Fierce Beast powerhouses again!"

Above the Heitie Chengbao.

Everyone was caught in a dilemma.

The Fierce Beasts were powerful!

Naturally, they wanted a quick decisive battle!

The humans wanted to hold the Heitie Chengbao, so they could only defend and wait for an opportunity, relying on the hidden means within to resist.

Once a decisive battle began, they would inevitably suffer a crushing defeat!

Sacrificing this human army to a crisis of a decisive battle for the sake of those few Martial Spirit-level powerhouses and their subordinates was indeed not worth it. But if they watched them be surrounded and killed by the Fierce Beasts, the blow to the morale of those in the Heitie Chengbao would be unprecedentedly huge.

Once a situation arose where no one was willing to leave the city to resist!

The Fierce Beast army could simply rely on those one-time expendable low-level Fierce Beasts to break into the Heitie Chengbao.

Just when everyone was at a loss for what to do.

Outside the Heitie Chengbao.

Dozens of points of starlight appeared out of thin air!

That starlight was filled with the power of extinction and slaughter, blooming in the endless wilderness outside the castle, shining brilliantly. Each point of starlight carried the ultimate power of destruction, swirling and dancing like an aurora, piercing through those dozens of Martial Spirit-level Fierce Beasts.

"Roar..."

After a series of shrill screams.

Those dozens of Fierce Beasts fell toward the ground below.

High above.

Lu Li's figure appeared quietly.

Inside the Heitie Chengbao, the moment everyone saw Lu Li appear, they all roared with excitement.

Daring to stand out at a time like this.

There was only this Commander Lu, who had destroyed an entire Fierce Beast vanguard army!

Not far away.

Those few Martial Spirit-level powerhouses could not believe it.

What those on the Heitie Chengbao could see, they naturally could see too. Originally, they had already given up the thought of returning to the city, wanting only to kill a few Fierce Beasts in these final moments of their lives.

Yet they never expected this young commander to disregard the danger and appear personally to save them!

This filled their hearts with endless gratitude.

Just as they were about to bow and thank him, Lu Li's voice came calmly.

"No need, hurry and take them back to the city."
