Chapter 337: Rockfall in the City

"I've seen quite a few huge demon beasts."

Gu Han muttered to himself,

"But seeing a three-meter-tall person is truly a first!"

Bai Tie already counts as an exceptionally tall blacksmith.

But standing before this little giant who is forging iron, he still pales in comparison.

Bai Tie also noticed the giant who was forging iron at this moment.

He immediately furrowed his brow.

"Friend, your forging technique has a problem."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ka beside him couldn't help but facepalm.

"Master can't sit still again!"

Seeing Gu Han's curious gaze, Bai Ka explained,

"Master's demands for forging skill are extremely high, even reaching somewhat harsh levels!"

"Usually, whenever he sees someone's forging technique lacking proficiency, he steps forward to criticize and correct."

"Although this also counts as a Good Thing, it helps the folks of Lu Chui Zhen improve their forging skills, even though the place is already considered the region with the strongest forging ability worldwide."

"People from other regions also often come seeking fame, wanting to ask Master to forge equipment for them."

Speaking of this, Bai Ka let out a helpless sigh.

"But you also saw, Master's words sometimes show no mercy at all."

"The folks of Lu Chui Zhen are used to it, but we've just arrived at Sheng Cheng, and these people may not necessarily be willing to heed Master's warnings."

Just as Bai Ka had expected.

The giant all over ancient bronze color, upon hearing Bai Tie's doubt, his face immediately darkened.

After exchanging just a few words, they rolled up their sleeves and got ready to fight.

The patrolling Holy City Guards nearby, seeing this, immediately stepped forward to pull them apart, and repeatedly warned them not to cause trouble.

Before leaving, the Holy City Guards gave Bai Tie, this outsider, a heavy stare.

Bai Tie unwillingly returned to the ranks, naturally knowing they were newcomers unfamiliar with the place; those Holy City Guards showing bias would definitely not side with them.

The Holy City Guards in charge of guarding the City Gate sent someone to lead the folks of Lu Chui Zhen toward the reception hall for outsiders.

And Gu Han and Bai Lin, as Savior Heirs, naturally had their own destination.

Bai Ka and the others were originally somewhat worried, but upon learning that Gu Han would also go, they put their hearts back in their stomachs.

After walking a stretch, Gu Han looked at the Holy City Guard leading the way and asked,

"Little brother, are we going to meet other Savior Heirs?"

That Holy City Guard seemed to be stunned for a moment, then immediately replied,

"That's right, we'll arrive soon; please don't rush, sir."

Although that was said, Gu Han clearly saw a fleeting unnatural expression on that person's face.

Now Gu Han became even more certain of his earlier speculation.

So-called Sheng Cheng is probably not as monolithic as outsiders think!

However, just then, Gu Han suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet seem to tremble.

"Is it a ground beast?"

But the next moment, the commotion inside the city shattered Gu Han's speculation!

After the tremor lasted about a few breaths, a heavy drumming sound suddenly echoed inside the city!

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

After three consecutive drumbeats, the city's populace could no longer remain carefree and relaxed; they began to feel uneasy.

"What does this triple drumbeat mean?"

Gu Han didn't know the specifics of Tian Yu City, so he could only ask the Holy City Guard leading the way.

That Holy City Guard had a solemn expression; just as he was about to speak, he heard another two drumbeats sound!

"Five bell chimes?"

The Holy City Guard swallowed, his eyes filled with disbelief,

"This Black Tide, could it be that the entire army has been mobilized?"

He didn't have time to dwell on his shock, turned and gave Gu Han a deep bow respectfully.

"This is a great crisis for our Sheng Cheng; please, the two Savior Heirs, lend your aid!"

At the same time, a violent sonic boom suddenly rang out in the air.

Gu Han looked up and saw two streams of light, one white and one purple, flying from deep within Sheng Cheng outward.

After those two streams of light, there were several other auras slightly inferior.

"Are these people all Savior Heirs of Sheng Cheng?"

This thought flashed through Gu Han's mind, and he nodded at the Holy City Guard before him,

"Rest assured, since I've brought the folks of Lu Chui Zhen here, I won't stand by and watch Sheng Cheng fall into disaster."

That Holy City Guard smiled gratefully at Gu Han, then immediately turned and rushed toward the city outside.

Meanwhile, the residents of Sheng Cheng on the streets had already been evacuated under the guidance of the Holy City Guards.

"Big Brother Gu!"

Just then, Bai Ka and the others hurried over here.

Because there are too many Savior Heirs in Sheng Cheng, Bai Ka and the others obviously find it inconvenient to continue addressing Gu Han as Savior Heir sir.

Therefore, before entering Sheng Cheng, Gu Han emphasized that everyone only needed to call him by his name.

"You've come at just the right time; I'll entrust Bai Lin to your care."

Gu Han was about to go see just how large the scale of the Black Tide attacking Sheng Cheng was.

Bai Ka and the others arrived just in time to look after Bai Lin.

"Brother Gu, my master and I have also heard that the Black Tide is attacking Sheng Cheng, and we also intend to go help……"

Before Bai Ka's words had finished, several sharp breaking-wind sounds rang out in the air.

Boom!

A huge boulder seemed to smash in from the horizon, and even Sheng Cheng's barrier couldn't stop it!

The residents on the street who hadn't had time to evacuate, upon seeing that enormous boulder, immediately screamed.

Bai Tie stomped his right foot, his body erupting with power as he flung the giant hammer in his hand.

The iron hammer collided with the boulder in the air like a meteor, producing a heaven-shaking impact.

In an instant, rubble flew everywhere!

Many shops on the street were smashed to pieces by the rubble.

But fortunately, those who might have been pulverized by the boulder managed to escape disaster.

The woman holding a child thanked Bai Tie gratefully.

Bai Tie waved his hand, signaling her to quickly take the child and leave.

Immediately after, he stepped forward to pick up his iron hammer, but his pupils suddenly contracted.

The force generated from the collision of the iron hammer and the boulder was extremely strong, and the impact of the falling debris was horrifying to hear.

But when it smashed onto the ground of Sheng Cheng, it merely left fine cracks!

If you didn't look closely, you probably wouldn't even notice them!

"Master, be careful!"

Bai Ka's shout pulled Bai Tie's attention back to reality.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw countless boulders pouring down from the sky, covering the heavens and earth!

Just one boulder was already enough for Bai Tie to handle!

With so many boulders, I'm afraid they'll smash Sheng Cheng to pieces!

However, as the main force resisting the Black Tide, Sheng Cheng's response speed is no joke.

Soon, many Holy City Guards riding earth beasts arrived to block the boulders' bombardment!

Each Holy City Guard's strength is hardly inferior to Bai Tie's.

This also shows that Sheng Cheng's strength stands far above that of other regions!
