Chapter 194: Emperor-Level Fierce Beast Appears!
Outside the city gates.
Boom!
The colossal beast crashed down.
The mountain-collapsing, tsunami-like shockwave crushed large swathes of the Star Beast tide. A wall of flesh formed, unexpectedly creating a protective barrier.
Countless Star Beasts were crushed beneath its body.
Miserable cries filled the wilderness…
“It fell! It fell!”
“The King-level Star Beast is dead!!”
“Long live the Commander!!!”
People standing on the battlements cheered and shouted, all gazing at the Pear Blossom Needle tube in the Commander’s hand, utterly stunned.
How massive was that King-level Star Beast just now?
Its mountain-like colossal form, yet before this needle tube…
It couldn’t even put up the slightest resistance!
That was a King-level Star Beast after all…
“The King-level Star Beast has been slain! Everyone, continue defending the city!!”
The Commander retracted the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles, standing tall on the City Wall, loudly boosting morale as his gaze swept over the remaining King-level Star Beasts.
Suddenly.
Several waves of malice pierced his brow like needles!
“It’s coming.”
After losing one of their companions, the other giant beasts were now staring at the Commander. A savage aura enveloped the area, all eyes converging on him.
Hatred fully drawn!
“Good… good… you pack of beasts, all come at me!”
The Commander’s voice trembled as he sped along the edge of the battlements, following the rehearsed route until he reached the southeastern corner of the City Wall.
A few breaths later.
A terrifying pressure descended.
Boom!
All the King-level Star Beasts gathered at the southeastern corner, preparing to crush him there completely.
With Star Beasts ahead and the City Wall behind, there seemed to be no escape. Mountain-like giant beasts descended before the Commander.
“Right here then…”
The Commander stood firm, muttering to himself as he looked up at the Star Beasts. He appeared as insignificant as an ant.
Killing intent loomed overhead—a certain death situation.
…………
“Not good! Quick, save the Commander!”
Some scattered cultivators saw this and grew anxious and panicked. They prepared to charge toward the Commander’s position, but just as they moved—
Whoosh—
Strange sounds suddenly erupted!
From the City Wall behind the Commander.
Bricks fell away in unison!
The ambushed Police Inspector forces simultaneously sprang into action. Hundreds of Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle devices emerged from hidden openings, all aimed precisely at the gathering King-level Star Beasts.
Perfectly synchronized—
It was a classic “invite the enemy into the jar” trap!
“Open fire!!!”
The Commander roared loudly, immediately dropping to the ground and covering his head. The hundreds of rehearsals for this ambush were all for this moment’s attack.
The next second.
Whoosh!
Under the night sky, a rain of pear blossoms fell! Silver light exploded above his head like stars streaking across the sky, violently piercing into the skulls of the King-level Star Beasts!
Piercing kills!
Thud—
One by one, the King-level Star Beasts collapsed, piling high into mountains of flesh. Ten thousand beasts cried out mournfully across the wilderness!!
Instantly, the surging Beast Tide fell into disarray, trying to avoid the falling King-level Star Beasts. Chaos reigned beneath the city walls!
Countless Star Beasts were crushed to death.
Forming a bloody scene!
Everyone looked down from the City Wall, observing the Star Beasts’ miserable state, their gazes lingering on the giant King-level beasts.
Their hearts filled with complex emotions.
The once proud massive size of these beasts had now, under the piercing Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles, become living targets for countless arrows.
The next moment.
On the high platform, live broadcast feeds transmitted the scenes back to the internet.
From the beginning of the city defense, this battle had been watched nationwide. The internet had long been boiling over, with comment streams flooding the screens.
“The Commander personally acted as bait, putting himself in the lineup!! Such righteousness!”
“One strike annihilated King-level beasts?”
“Jianghai’s defense has such methods!””Seriously, dude? One Star Artifact is understandable, but you’re actually doing bulk sales? That’s insane!”
“Good, good! Heaven hasn’t abandoned our Jianghai!”
Countless different comments were sent simultaneously until the final moment, ultimately converging into a unified chant.
……
“We’ve won!”
…………
Villa Complex.
On the 4K TV screen, the King-level Star Beast collapsed with a thunderous crash. The visual impact was unparalleled, with every detail magnified, delivering a shock no less than that of a blockbuster movie…
“Huh??!”
Xiaobai sat on the sofa, hugging a bag of popcorn, thoroughly engrossed in the show.
But when this scene played out…
Her eyes instantly widened into perfect circles!
It’s dead just like that?
The King-level Star Beast died just like that?
This was an existence capable of leading a Beast Tide, as massive as a mountain, crushing humans like ants—yet it was slaughtered as easily as a dog?
“Holy crap! What kind of thing is this powerful?!”
Seeing this, Xiaobai couldn’t stay seated. She scrambled off the sofa, grabbed the remote control, hurried over to the TV, rewound a few seconds, and stared intently at the object in the Commander’s hand.
The next moment.
The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles came into view.
Their unremarkable appearance resembled a black pen holder, with needle ports as dense as a honeycomb…
A familiar shape…
“Huh? Isn’t this the thing Master gave to Qin Yang? What was it called again… Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles?”
Xiaobai frowned in thought, hugging her budding chest, and glanced outside at Qin Yang.
She felt a bit uncomfortable.
Chilly.
Since the battle began, Qin Yang had been standing outside keeping watch, seemingly idle…
The wind kept blowing into the room.
……
“Master, stop standing outside in the wind!”
Xiaobai, holding the remote control, hurried to the balcony. She nudged Qin Yang’s waist with her head and tugged hard at his hand, trying to pull him inside.
“Come on, come inside with me!”
“Hurry up, Master! It looks like you humans are about to win!”
As she spoke.
Qin Yang remained unmoved.
He still leaned against the railing, gazing into the distant sky. The cool night breeze brushed past, while the direction of the city wall echoed with the roar of artillery fire.
This King-level Star Beast was only the beginning.
“The real show is about to start.”
…………
……….
At the same time.
Behind the Beast Tide army.
Deep within the pine forests of the Great Li Mountains.
Two dark figures stood among the trees, silently observing the unusual situation at the distant city wall. The beasts avoided them, leaving a hundred-meter radius devoid of life.
In the distance, the King-level Star Beast collapsed with a thunderous crash…
“Useless trash!”
One of the dark figures said impatiently, “After all this training… they can’t even make it onto the city wall.”
“Please calm yourself, Honored Master,”
the person beside him whispered reassuringly. “Who would have thought that such a small coastal city would possess such a powerful weapon? This was indeed a miscalculation.”
“A weapon capable of instantly killing a King-level Star Beast is an extremely rare existence.”
But after he spoke,
there was no response, only another command.
“This is none of my concern! You know what to do next!”
“Yes, Honored Master, rest assured!”
“As an Emperor-level being, I am here precisely to prevent failures by those lower-level incompetents.”
With that, the black-robed man slowly stepped out of the mountain forest.
Step by step,
he walked toward the outskirts of Jianghai City.
The next moment.
He shed his black robe, revealing feathered wings. Like a great roc spreading its wings, they blotted out the sky and eclipsed the moon.The man transformed into a colossal roc, soaring upward on swirling winds, churning through the blood rain of Star Beasts. The grinding of flesh and bone seemed to play a mournful, sorrowful melody…
