Chapter 1028: Chapter 909: Defending the City (Makeup 55)
The African Continent was desolate, the scorching weather cast a terrifying atmosphere over the land, large swathes of villages and towns were reduced to ruins, with remnants of buildings crumbling everywhere.
The sweltering heat caused the decaying remains to rot faster than elsewhere, filling the air with the stench of putrid corpses.
People were displaced, and those slightly closer to the beast horde became blood food for the beasts before they had a chance to evacuate, the situation was too horrific to witness.
After holding an emergency meeting of the War God Alliance, Yan immediately, together with Chu Xuanji, gathered some top-level powerhouses to rush towards this disaster-ridden continent filled with death and plague.
On the way, Yan received a report from Ye Fan, saying that the Six Major Alliances and the Five Ancient Forces had only sent some low-level young cultivators to Southern Tibet, which instantly sent him into a rage.
“Bastards, at a time like this they’re still playing little tricks, trying to preserve their strength.”
Rarely seen, Yan cursed furiously, he was truly angry. Sending Ye Fan to Southern Tibet was initially because the mutant beasts there were slightly weaker, without top-level War God-level beasts, it was also to give these young elites some training.
But unexpectedly, these people from the ancient forces and alliances were insincerely compliant, two-faced, their calculations rattling noisily, precise to the extreme.
“Yan, calm down, it’s too late to say anything now, better to think about who to send to support them, given Xiao Fan’s character, if there weren’t real difficulties, he wouldn’t report to you. As for punishing those people, it’s not too late to deal with them after this battle.”
Chu Xuanji knew, time is of the essence, Ye Fan and the others were very likely facing a fierce onslaught from the beast tide, delay was not an option.
Yan nodded, took a deep breath, and forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart, he also knew that Chu Xuanji was right, now was not the time for settling scores with those people.
With the invasion of the Xuan Realm mutant beasts, sacred lands worldwide had opened, the war between beasts and humans had begun, humanity was at a critical moment of life and death, internal conflicts simply couldn’t happen, or human elites would be the ones to suffer losses.
“Alright, I’ll notify Lv Yuan immediately, have him pick some elites with Ye Feng and Wushan to support Xiao Fan.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan immediately contacted Lv Yuan and briefed him on the situation.
“Please rest assured, Leader Yan, I’ll take people there right away for support!”
Upon hearing this, Lv Yuan became anxious, leaving aside everything else, his precious grandson Lv Zhan was with Ye Fan, any mishap would be unimaginable for him.
Killing Emperor Ye Feng and Wu Sect Leader Wushan also became anxious, for the same reason as Lv Yuan, their outstanding descendants were also in Southern Tibet, nothing could happen to them.
After receiving orders, the three did not hesitate, immediately selecting some elite young strong people, boarded the War God Alliance’s high-level flying magic artifact and headed straight to Southern Tibet to support Ye Fan and the others.
“Xiao Zhan, make sure nothing happens to you! Grandpa is coming to support you.”
On the flying artifact, Lv Yuan kept mumbling to himself, surprisingly, Ye Feng and Wushan didn’t say anything. Previously, they would surely tease Lv Yuan a bit, but now, no one had that thought.
Both were praying in their hearts, hoping that Ye Fan would lead the people to resist the fierce impact of the beast tide at least to the point of staying alive and meeting them.
Meanwhile, in the anonymous small city closest to a sacred land in Southern Tibet, Ye Fan’s three rules finally had some effect, those young cultivators from the Six Major Alliances who were so scared they could barely stand were forced to pull themselves together under the threat of death.
The rolling beast tide covered the sky and approached with huge sounds, shaking the dust from the houses in the small city like an earthquake forewarning.
Standing on the city wall, Ye Fan narrowed his eyes, the strength of these mutant beasts wasn’t much, only more in number.
He understood the concept of “Ants kill the elephant,” facing such a terrifying beast tide, even a top-level War God realm power would have to turn and run, unable to compete.
Ye Fan surveyed the small city and felt that pure defense was not a solution. After all, these beasts number numerous, and some had very large bodies, belonging to the brute force type.
If these beasts reached the city, with their strength, it seemed not difficult for them to break the defensive formation and charge into the city.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan was a bit puzzled as to how the cultivators here defended against the invasion of these beasts before his arrival?
Just then, about a hundred meters outside the city, the vanguard of the beast tide arrived, furiously charging towards the city gate.
Boom!
With a loud bang, a huge deep pit suddenly appeared outside the city, several meters long and wide, bottomless, where the vanguard of the beasts undoubtedly fell into the pit, crying out in misery.
The beasts behind couldn’t stop in time, under inertia, all fell into the pit like dumplings, where the huge beasts crushed the smaller ones below into meat patties.
“Good!”
Ye Fan praised loudly, back in the day when hunters hunted, the most primitive method was to dig holes.
This act immediately halted the beast’s assault, the giant deep pit instantly devoured over a hundred beasts.
However, the beasts didn’t seem to care about this, those behind still lowered their heads and charged forward, quickly filling the pit.
Subsequent beasts practically trod on the bodies of these beasts, continuing to attack the small city, while the beasts that fell in kept crying out in anguish and grief from being trampled on.
Yet their fate was sealed, from the moment they fell into the pit, it was destined that they would immediately be trampled into pulp.
Seeing that the number of beasts was still large, Ye Fan shouted: “We can’t just defend passively, this small city absolutely can’t withstand the impact of the beasts, follow me down and drive them back!”
Saying this, with a thought, Ye Fan’s Golden Feather Wings pierced through his back clothes, spread out all at once, leading the charge towards the beasts at the foot of the city.
Whoosh—
Before anyone arrived, the Xuanye Flying Blade, carrying a foot-long rainbow light, charged into the mutant beast group, carving a bloody path.
The fourth move of the Flying Sword Skill, “Surging Rainbow,” is immensely powerful. Even high-level War God realm mutant beasts can’t withstand it, and immediately dozens of mutant beasts were shredded into pieces by the sword light carried by the Xuanye Flying Blade.
Whoosh!
Subsequently, Ye Fan didn’t pause, both fists swinging, executing the second style of the Domineering Fist, Azure Sky Overlord Blood. The dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was directly drawn over, attached to his Punch Ray, forming two solid Gang Qi fists, and directly blasted the heads of the front two high-level War God realm mutant beasts.
“Beasts, Grandpa Lu is here, prepare to die!”
Lv Zhan let out a wolf howl, holding a black big spear, followed behind Ye Fan, exerting wrist strength, every spear thrust lethal, pierces through mutant beasts, sending them flying, causing chaos in the beast group.
Ye Hei and Wu Zi also immediately jumped off the city wall, each seeking mutant beasts to start the counterattack.
Su Liuli and Chu Ji exchanged a glance, pouncing off the city wall from left and right, cooperating with Ye Fan and Lv Zhan to slaughter into the mutant beast group.
The four of them, although it was their first cooperation, worked together with great chemistry, killing those mutant beasts so that they toppled over.
Ye Fan led the charge, with Lv Zhan and Su Liuli as the wings on the left and right, and Chu Ji, being the weakest, in the middle aiding, forming a triangular battle formation. Wherever they went, mutant beasts retreated.
Ye Fan’s flying blade was like the scythe of the Death God, reaping the lives of those mutant beasts, as mutant beasts fell wherever it passed.
However, those mutant beasts were not to be underestimated. The mid-stage War God realm mutant beasts already possessed spiritual communication, unlocking wisdom, with intelligence no less than humans.
Especially the high-level War God realm mutant beasts, not only were they extremely intelligent, but they also had innate Beast Techniques, comparable in power to human martial arts, or even surpassing them.
After all, human martial arts require cultivation, while the mutant beasts’ Beast Techniques are innate abilities. Sometimes the gap between innate and acquired abilities is insurmountable.
Quickly, the four encountered several high-level War God realm mutant beasts blocking their way. These mutant beasts showcased their Beast Techniques, and for a moment, claws filled the sky, with strong Qi Wave rippling affecting the slightly weaker mutant beasts within ten miles.
Ye Fan let out a long howl, leaving the battle formation, with Su Liuli filling his position, becoming the tip of the triangle formation, while he, relying on superior strength and Gang Qi reserves far exceeding other cultivators, directly targeted a high-level War God realm mutant beast.
“Die for me!”
Ye Fan launched a strike of Azure Sky Overlord Blood, shattering the Gang Qi claw shadow transformed by the mutant beast’s Beast Technique. The fierce Punch Ray slammed onto the tip of the mutant beast’s nose.
“Awooo…”
The mutant beast let out a tragic cry, its massive body flying backward in the air, crashing into some weaker mutant beasts behind, causing a series of bone-breaking cries.
Su Liuli’s hands transformed into a verdant Bodhi Tree, sweeping out each time sending a mid-stage War God realm mutant beast flying.
Lv Yuan was even more ferocious, his mom hollering with abandon, without a moment’s rest for his mouth, wielding a big spear as if it were an embroidery needle, each thrust claiming a life.
Chu Ji’s long sword was equally sharp, like a snake’s tongue, flickering unpredictably, with every thrust causing a mutant beast to be injured or collapse.
The big spear for long-range, the long sword for close combat, while Su Liuli’s Bodhi Tree provided area attack. For a moment, the three cooperated seamlessly, standing like a rock against the rolling beast tide, unmoved regardless of the tide’s impact.
Ye Fan and the others’ performance immediately shocked those rookie cultivators from the five ancient forces of Laisi and the Six Major Alliances.
Motivated by them, these people also opened the city gate and rushed out, trailing behind them to pick up the spoils, grouping ten or so together to surround and fiercely attack a lower-stage or newly mid-stage mutant beast.
The battle lasted nearly an hour, with mutant beasts suffering heavy casualties. Six high-level War God realm mutant beasts died at the hands of Ye Fan alone, not to mention countless mid-stage War God realm mutant beasts.
Gradually, those mutant beasts could no longer hold on, retreating to their lairs, and Ye Fan led his people to chase them for a while before sounding retreat.
“The defensive formation simply couldn’t withstand the mutant beasts’ attacks. This small city is likely indefensible; the next beast attack will surely be more ferocious. We might as well withdraw from the small city, retreat thirty kilometers, and everyone can have a good rest.”
Upon returning to the city, Ye Fan immediately convened everyone for a meeting, expressing his decision, to which no one opposed.
This small city was indeed too small. Once the mutant beasts attacked again, defending it would not be easy anymore.
Fortunately, there were no ordinary people left in this small city, so sacrificing it was not regrettable.
Ye Fan decided promptly that everyone should evacuate immediately. Just then, a local cultivator approached Ye Fan and said, “Commander Ye, we still have explosives provided by the military here, used to resist beast tide attacks. Do you think they could be used?”
“Good, even if we leave, we’ll turn this city into the beasts’ grave.”
Ye Fan was inspired by the words, making arrangements, “You all retreat first, I’ll stay here. With my Golden Feather Wings, I can leave at any time. I want to detonate the bombs when those beasts enter the small city, striving to deal a heavy blow to those mutant beasts!”
