Chapter 176: with translation of chapter title

~7 min read 1,319 words

At the moment the breach in the City Wall appeared, the enemy's offensive reached its peak, howling like hyenas smelling blood, they surged madly toward the collapsed spot.

The mudslide continued to pour in, inside and outside were in dire straits, the situation seemed as perilous as a stack of eggs.

However, facing this seemingly desperate scene, Li Qingxuan's gaze was ice-cold like iron, without a trace of panic.

After days of combat and improvement, his strength had long surpassed that of ordinary Awakened ones, especially after taking the Dragon Blood Elixir and breaking through the critical point of his Spirit, his mastery and understanding of his own power reached a new height.

These attackers, perhaps elite in the eyes of ordinary people, were nothing but chickens and dogs before him!

"Courting death!"

An icy low shout, as if coming from the Nine Nether Abyss, instantly drowned out all the cries of battle and the rain.

Li Qingxuan moved!

He did not go to block the breach; instead, he stepped forward, actively rushing toward the surging enemy tide!

His figure moved as fast as a ghost, leaving a faint afterimage in place, and he directly plunged into the densest part of the enemy ranks!

"Boom!"

Like a human-shaped artillery shell exploding, the few enemies at the forefront had no time to utter a scream before being shaken by that overwhelming force until their tendons snapped and bones broke, flying backward like rag dolls and knocking over a whole row of comrades behind them!

Li Qingxuan didn't even bother to draw his longsword; a simple punch and kick contained the terrifying power of splitting mountains and cracking stone.

Where his fist wind passed, the air exploded with a bang; as his leg swept over, enemies were struck as if by a massive hammer, either dead or wounded!

His extraordinary constitution granted him crushing physical strength; the enemies' attacks on him felt like tickling, and even his defense was hard to breach.

He was like a tiger among sheep, unstoppable in all directions!

The enemy formation instantly fell into chaos; their original ferocious momentum was crushed to powder by this absolute disparity in strength!

"Mon… monster!" the hoarse-voiced leader exclaimed upon seeing this, his pupils constricting sharply, his heart filled with shock.

He finally realized he had kicked an iron plate this time, and moreover, a red-hot iron plate!

He bellowed hoarsely, "Focus fire! Kill him first! Mages! Quickly use your spells!"

The water-system mage panickedly chanted, trying to condense water arrows or summon water elements again.

But how could Li Qingxuan give him a chance?

"Noisy!"

Li Qingxuan's eyes flashed like lightning, instantly locking onto the mage.

He didn't even move; he simply raised his right hand, fingers slightly spread, and several Soul Arrows, condensed to near-substance and flickering with a dark light, instantly formed and shot forth at a speed beyond visual perception!

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

The Soul Arrows ignored physical obstruction, precisely piercing the skulls of the two shield warriors standing before the mage; their eyes instantly dimmed, and they collapsed without a sound.

The final arrow struck directly into the mage's brow!

The mage's chant broke off abruptly; he widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief and terror, his body swayed, and he toppled straight backward, breathless.

"Instant kill!"

The leader's soul fled in terror, he lost all fighting spirit, turned and tried to run.

"You want to leave now? Too late!"

Li Qingxuan gave a cold snort, exerted force with his feet, mud and water exploded from the ground, his figure appeared behind the leader as if by teleportation, and one hand clamped his neck like an iron vise!

"Crack!" a grating bone-breaking sound rang out; the leader's struggle ceased instantly, his head lolling at a strange angle.

He casually tossed the leader's corpse aside, Li Qingxuan scanned the remaining enemies.

Those attackers, originally fierce and vicious, now stood as if paralyzed by a binding spell, faces full of fear as they looked at him, like gazing upon a hellish killing god.

Nobody knew who first shouted "Run!", but the rest completely collapsed, dropping their weapons and scattering like headless flies.

"Not a single one left!"

Li Qingxuan's voice was ice-cold; toward enemies, he never showed mercy.

He did not personally pursue, but through a Spiritual Link, he commanded the Phantom Cats lurking in the shadows and the remaining Icefield Demon Wolves to carry out the hunt.

At the same time, he raised his hand and tapped repeatedly; streams of Soul Arrows, like precision-guided missiles, picked off the fleeing fastest foes and those who looked like leaders one by one!

Huang Rong, Chen Xiulan, and Li Jing hadn't even had a chance to contribute much before the battle was already drawing to a close.

Huang Rong merely intercepted a few panicked stragglers on the outskirts; Chen Xiulan's arrows lost their mark; Li Jing simply held her position, preventing any fish that slipped through the net from panicking and charging into the inner city.

Under Li Qingxuan's overwhelming strength, this night raid turned into a one-sided massacre.

Of the more than thirty attackers, aside from a few lucky ones who slipped into the woods amid the chaos and vanished, nearly the entire force was wiped out.

After dealing with the external foes, Li Qingxuan immediately turned and looked at the breach torn open by the mudslide.

He paused not at all, walked to the Manufacturing Table, regenerated a section of the City Wall, and laid it over the broken wall.

"Hum——"

A brand-new segment of the City Wall slowly merged into the broken wall, enveloping the entire breach area.

Only to see the collapsed rubble and inflowing mud, as if endowed with life, begin to writhe violently, gather, and compact!

This time, it was no longer the slow repair as before; in the astonished gazes of the onlookers, that breach several meters wide actually closed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The shattered bricks and stones returned to their places on their own, the mud was forcibly displaced and solidified; within just a few minutes, a brand-new wall emerged, even appearing sturdier than the adjacent old City Wall, completely sealing the breach!

Having done all that, Li Qingxuan waved to the crowd and then led them back into the fortress.

His formidable Spiritual Power and his fine-grained control over energy made this level of battle far less taxing than before.

The rain continued to pour down like a heavenly river, splashing and washing over all things between heaven and earth, showing no sign of weakening.

The oppressive atmosphere that had saturated heaven and earth did not quietly dissipate with the enemies' defeat and the wall's repair.

Inside and outside the fortress, aside from the deafening rain, there was dead silence—only the sound of rain pattering and the Demon Wolves licking their wounds.

The onlookers gazed at Li Qingxuan standing proudly on the city wall, unmoving despite the torrential rain lashing him, their eyes filled with shock, awe, and an indescribable sense of security.

He alone is an impregnable City Wall!

Even this torrential downpour seems unable to shake him in the slightest.

Li Qingxuan's gaze swept over the chaotic battlefield, he looked toward his exhausted but bright-eyed comrades, finally gazing at the rain curtain that seemed endless. He said in a low voice: Clear the battlefield, salvage useful supplies. The Natural Disaster is not over; everyone stay alert, take turns resting.

His voice penetrated the rain curtain, clearly reaching everyone's ears, carrying a convincing power. Everyone understood that as long as he was there, Guangtan Fortress would never fall. Although the rain continued, the strong enemy had retreated, but this battle against the Natural Disaster was far from over.
