Chapter 179 - 179 Military Reinforcements

179 Military Reinforcements

Roar!

Along with the roar, plumes of smoke billowed in from the direction of the blood-sucking wasteland. Fearsome Beasts, one after another, could be vaguely seen ramming themselves against the earthy yellow barrier.

Moreover, the powerful auras released from these Fearsome Beasts indicated without exception that they were all S-class Fearsome Beasts.

“How can there be so many S-class Fearsome Beasts? We are goners this time. Lunan City cannot be saved.”

“Quick, run! As far as possible! Escape from this city! It’s going to become a dead city!”

Faced with these S-class beasts, the cultivators of Lunan City were all scared out of their wits and no longer had any desire to fight.

Although these S-class Fearsome Beasts were still trapped in the earthy yellow barrier and their numbers were far less than the other Fearsome Beasts, when they were gathered together, they nonetheless formed a formidable fighting force that could flatten the whole Lunan City a dozen times over.

In the face of this terrifying force, the fear of death overcame the rationality and calmness of humankind. At this moment, all fled towards the outer walls of Lunan City.

Boom! After more than a dozen rams, the earthy yellow barrier cracked open and the fissure got bigger and bigger. Three or four S-class Fearsome Beasts had already broken out and they went charging towards Lunan City with bloodshot eyes.

“All come back at once! Those who retreat will be beheaded!” Niu Xianzu bellowed. He had already beheaded several fleeing cultivators, but it was to no avail.

Seeing this, Niu Xianzu could only yell, “Members of the 4th Battalion, go forward and block the Fearsome Beasts. If the city lives, we live! If the city perishes, we perish too!”

“If the city lives, we live! If the city perishes, we perish too!”

The members of the 4th Battalion were all wounded in battle, suffering from different degrees of injuries, but their eyes were more determined than ever.

As soldiers, they should protect the family and the country. From the time they joined the Gamma Military Zone Dying, they were mentally prepared to die in battle, in the line of duty. Even if the whole battalion was wiped out, they would have no regrets.

“You still have us. We, the disciples of the Central Dojo, will also go forth to kill the enemy!” The disciples of the Central Dojo showed their mettle at this moment. They rubbed their hands together, their bodies bursting with passion and fervor.

A look of amazement flashed across Niu Xianzu’s eyes. He detested Lu Yu very much, who parachuted in from nowhere to take over the position that originally belonged to him, but seeing these disciples from the Central Dojo who were so full of courage, Niu Xianzu’s impression of Lu Yu changed somewhat.

“You guys support us. Members of the 4th Battalion, follow me!”

Niu Xianzu took the lead upfront, A ring of red light wrapped around his full body armor. As he led the members of the 4th Battalion, the power erupted into a sharp sword that stabbed out ruthlessly.

“Kill! Haha… Filthy beasts, your Grandpa Li is coming!” Li Tieniu also went on a bloodthirsty rampage.

Scarlet-feathered Blue Lions, Blue Fire Raptors, Tuna Dragons… These S-class Fearsome Beasts were all extremely vicious. As they clashed with the members of the 4th Battalion, casualties emerged in the 4th Battalion immediately.

The Fearsome Beasts’ evil auras converged and came charging. One of the platoon captains had his abdomen ripped open and a Scarlet-feathered Blue Lion swallowed him in one gulp.

“Bastard! You’re asking for death!” With his eyes bulging, Niu Xianzu raised his sword and split the back of the Scarlet-feathered Blue Lion open, creating a gory mess of bloody flesh.

“Blood of Fury!”

Niu Xianzu had gone completely insane. He turned on his skill, and at the expense of burning his blood, he multiplied his power for a short time.

The other S-class Fearsome Beasts also realized Niu Xianzu was difficult to deal with, and they began encircling him in a group attack.

This tragic scene did not escape Ying Qufeng’s eyes, who was watching secretly, and his whole body trembled. The black-clad woman also spoke up at this point, “Lunan City is destined to fall. We can only give up.”

“Yes, yes. We’d better escape immediately.” Ying Qufeng nodded his head frantically. He was a member of the Ying family and his life was precious. In the future, he would have a lot of money to spend and many women to sleep with, so there was no need for him to sacrifice his life here.

The black-clad woman led Ying Qufeng, Wang Bo and a few people around to the north of Lunan City quietly, and then withdrew quickly.

The topography of Lunan City was such that the northwest regions were high while the northeast regions were low. This was one of the reasons it had become a strategic city to safeguard the western region of Flame Country. The Ying Family, which had been running Lunan City for many years, had already secretly burrowed through a hidden passage in the north.

“There are still mineral ore veins being excavated by our Ying family here. It’s such a pity to leave like this.” Ying Qufeng, who was fleeing, said suddenly with a look of heartache.

“At this critical juncture, is life more important, or is the mineral ore vein more important?” The black-clad woman bellowed in a shrill voice.

“Even if I can’t take it all, it’s still good to take some with me.” Ying Qufeng said, eager to give it a try.

The black-clad woman eventually agreed after Ying Qufeng’s incessant persuasion. However, a look of disappointment crept across her eyes. This guy was not willing to risk his life for a major undertaking, yet he was willing to sacrifice himself for small benefits. She did not think that this fellow would amount to anything in the future.

The black-clad woman decided she had to find a reason to stay away from Ying Qufeng as soon as she returned to the Ying family.

On the other side,

in the deadly battle, the 4th Battalion had lost more than half of their members. As increasingly more members perished instantly under the attack of the Fearsome Beasts, Niu Xianzu smiled bitterly and said, “It seems that I, Niu Xianzu, am destined to die here.”

At this moment, a roar exploded and the earthy yellow barrier completely shattered. Those S-class Fearsome Beasts came charging out, leading their respective packs and heading straight for Lunan City.

As far as the eyes could see, the entire blood-sucking wasteland was swarming with Fearsome Beasts. The billowing evil auras converged and shot through the clouds. The horde of Fearsome Beasts rushed out in a deadly charge, trying to crash through the inner city walls. Yet another wave of tyrannical auras came swirling from the opposite direction.

“Hahaha… I, Niu Xianzu, will fight you to the death!” Niu Xianzu laughed at the sky. With a look of determination, he went on a killing spree in that particular direction.

The plumes of the aura were getting closer and closer. Amidst the billowing dusty smoke, the sound of people yelling could be heard vaguely.

“Look! That’s Lunan City. Luckily, it hasn’t been completely breached yet. Mother-fucking beasts, I’m gonna kill all of you!”

In the dust and smoke were numerous cultivators, waving the weapons in their hands, slaughtering their way through the Fearsome Beasts. When Zhang Xilai, a veteran soldier who had participated in the Holy War, saw Niu Xianzu, who was covered in blood, he put his arm around the latter’s shoulder and said warmly, “Good job! Thanks to you guys, Lunan City has not been breached. Otherwise, everything would be too late!”

“Damn it! All of you, hurry up! Be more nimble! Slay the enemy!” He said, yelling at the top of his lungs.

Niu Xianzu, who had stood frozen for a long time, burst into tears. Wiping away his tears with his rough, blood-stained hands, he said with a hearty laugh, “Good, good, good! You guys have come. Lunan City is saved. Kill, let’s kill! Let’s kill these beasts completely!”

As long as they could hold off for a while longer, the people from the military zone would definitely arrive here in time. By then, the crisis in Lunan City could be averted.

At the same time, Song Yu led her clansmen from the Northern Chill City’s Song family and rushed over. When she saw the reinforcements from Boulder Rock City and Northern Chill City arriving in droves, she was utterly stunned.

“Miss Song, you’re here too.” The Northern Chill City’s City Lord and Boulder Rock City’s City Lord took the initiative to greet her when they saw Song Yu.

Following that, the two city lords exchanged glances with each other. When they both saw the look that implied they were coerced into taking action in each other’s eyes, they smiled bitterly at each other helplessly.
