Free Web NovelChapter 548: Chapter 382: Great Demon, Kang Jin Rat King! (Double Chapter)
This overwhelmingly powerful aura, none of them could possibly ignore or misjudge.
"The Great Demon is here!" Hu Xuzhi inhaled deeply and said in a focused voice.
"What!" The generals behind him were all shocked upon hearing this.
The name of a person casts a shadow, and the mere mention of the Great Demon’s name made everyone gasp and their heartbeats suddenly quicken.
In the sky, Song Changming was also staring down at the ground below, his expression heavy and stern.
Suddenly, a huge hole burst open amidst the rat horde on the ground, and an endless surge of demon qi poured out.
At the same time, a gigantic creature emerged between heaven and earth!
Song Changming saw clearly that it was a thunder rat covered in sharp spikes.
It was clearly the Kang Jin Rat King, who had a territory in the Nine Netherworld!
If Su Fengye were present, she would certainly be more familiar with this rat king.
It was back then that she had fought to repel this rat king.
However, back then, the rat king’s power was just at the level of a top Demon General, but seeing it now, it had become a Great Demon!
"Is there anyone who can fight?" Kang Jin Rat King let out a loud roar, shaking the heavens and earth.
"This is trouble..." Song Changming looked at this Kang Jin Rat King, feeling extremely at a loss.
A Great Demon is an entity of another level, far beyond the capabilities of any of them.
Even if Song Changming could command the power of the Witch Soldier Seal, it would still be difficult to contend against this Great Demon.
Without a doubt, the real culprit behind the rat plague was this Kang Jin Rat King!
"Do not panic," Wang Tianshuang said softly, calming the military morale of the generals in the air, including Song Changming.
The perception of a Grandmaster, especially sensitivity towards Great Demons, was extremely keen.
If a Great Demon’s aura appeared anywhere in Cui Bai Dao, even in the main city miles away, a Grandmaster would be able to detect it.
Thus, Wang Tianshuang knew that the appearance of this Kang Jin Rat King would soon alarm the main city.
This did not even require them to report it separately.
And indeed, this was the case.
Even before the Kang Jin Rat King appeared, in the direction of Cui Bai Main City, Hu Tomb, sitting with Prince Cui in the Prince’s Mansion, showed a change in expression, pausing mid-sentence.
"What must come will still come," Prince Cui frowned, looking up at the Black Brilliance in the sky.
"I will handle this first Great Demon," Hu Tomb said, looking at the Great King for approval.
"Mm." Prince Cui nodded, not refusing.
Seeing the Great King consent, Hu Tomb left without another word.
The Marshal’s Cloak billowed high as he turned.
In the blink of an eye, a streak of light swiftly left the main city, disappearing into the dim sky.
The wind roared, and the light and shadow flickered before his eyes, receding behind.
The flight speed of this Grandmaster probably had no innate martial artist capable of matching it.
Like a fleeting flying shuttle, piercing through space-time, the distance of thousands of miles was akin to the walk from one end of the street to the other, not far at all.
Ordinary people on the ground would likely find it hard to catch sight of the Grandmaster flying by.
Outside Minggu City.
Kang Jin Rat King had already transformed into an old man with golden hair.
The old man first glanced at those present in the sky, paused briefly on Meng Kunlun, and then turned his gaze to the human race’s Minggu City still under the protection of the City Defense Array.
"After all this time, still not a single Grandmaster? It seems they are underestimating me."
Kang Jin Rat King sneered, gradually surrounded by intensifying golden thunder.
He apparently did not regard Song Changming and the others at all, not even sparing them a glance.
His goal this time was clear, solely to confront a Human Race Grandmaster.
"If that’s the case..."
Kang Jin Rat King suddenly launched a palm strike towards Minggu City.
"Not good!" Wang Tianshuang was startled by the opponent’s move.
And Meng Kunlun moved directly, rushing in front of Minggu City at the fastest speed.
At the same time, Hu Xuzhi from the city wall also darted forward, landing beside Meng Kunlun, gazing from afar at the Kang Jin Rat King.
Wang Tianshuang and Song Changming reacted a moment later.
They watched as a palm wave containing a vast amount of thunder energy swept out with Kang Jin Rat King’s palm strike.
Such force, such ferocity, Song Changming had never seen before, leaving him shocked.
Just the aftershocks and palm wind were unbearable for many of the soldiers on the ground, who were thrown into the air.
Luckily, Kang Jin Rat King’s palm was not aimed at them.
Otherwise, with just this single palm’s destructiveness, who knows how many soldiers would have met their end.
"Brother Meng, be careful!" Hu Xuzhi warned in a deep voice, already channeling all his energy through his nine martial veins, slashing out with all his might.
Packed innate qi aura gathered along the blade, unleashing a massive sword qi with equal power.
Meng Kunlun beside him also surged his gun sword, unleashing his strongest attack under the enormous pressure of the Great Demon.
Both attempted to block the Kang Jin Rat King’s palm strike.
They were uncertain if the City Defense Array could withstand this strike!
If the city array broke, Minggu City would be doomed!
Whatever happens, they had to hold on until strong reinforcements from the main city could arrive!
Thunder galloped, and the palm wave collided with the qi of the two, easily shattering their attacks.
The two didn’t back down, mustering all their qi, jointly resisting the force of that palm.
Hu Xuzhi’s individual strength was well-regarded in the Military Department, not much inferior to Meng Kunlun’s.
Yet despite their concerted effort, they were driven back repeatedly.
Fortunately, Song Changming and Wang Tianshuang were quick to arrive.
Song Changming was surrounded by purple gold flame, like a Fire God.
Wang Tianshuang executed the Thunder Technique, enveloped in Thunder Light, like a Thunder God.
With their timely support, the four of them together managed to withstand Kang Jin Rat King’s palm wave.
The City Defense Array behind them was rattled by the aftershock but didn’t collapse.
"Hmm!" Kang Jin Rat King’s gaze landed on the distant four, seemingly surprised that his palm had been blocked.
Seeing this, his striking hand retracted and began gathering strength again.
Surged by golden thunder and surrounded by increasingly violent demon qi, his might grew stronger!
The formidable side of the Great Demon was fully revealed!
The next moment, a condensed thunder ball appeared in Kang Jin Rat King’s overturned palm.
The thunder ball was not large, yet the four felt a shudder down their spines.
Before they could contemplate further, Kang Jin Rat King struck again with another palm.
This palm burst out with an even stronger palm wave and launched the shooting thunder ball.
Boom!
Midway, the thunder ball suddenly exploded into a somewhat twisted thunder pillar.
The term "thunder pillar" was more like a spear blade entirely constructed of thunder elements.
The palm wave overwhelmed the four, while the explosive thunder blade aimed directly at the immobilized Hu Xuzhi.
Undoubtedly, if struck by this thunder blade, Hu Xuzhi, the Commander of Nine Armies and Hu imperial Family descendant, would very likely perish!
In this critical moment, a pure white thunder light suddenly appeared.
It was Xu Yuan who forcibly intervened, grabbing the thunder blade unleashed by the Rat King with his bare hands from the side.
His hands were enveloped in a layer of pure white thunder light, enabling him to seize the Rat King’s golden thunder.
Xu Yuan’s face and neck were bulging with veins, and he gritted his teeth, exerting all his strength to hold the thunder blade, slowing its advance.
With this delay, Song Changming and the others had time to launch a counterattack, successively striking the thunder blade and directly shattering it.
"Thank you, Banner Master Xu, for your assistance!" Hu Xuzhi expressed gratitude to the breathless Xu Yuan beside him.
If not for his help, resisting that Rat King’s thunder blade, Hu Xuzhi might have met his end just now.
"Didn’t expect you to possess anomalous thunder, very good, devour you, and your innate mysterious thunder will be mine!"
During this round, despite his attack being blocked again, Kang Jin Rat King was not angry; on the contrary, he was extremely excited and thrilled.
Because he had found a new target.
That target was the blazing divine thunder within Xu Yuan!
Kang Jin Rat King himself followed the Thunder Path, with all his cultivation in it.
He had once thought that if there was anything under the heavens that could greatly enhance his power.
It would undoubtedly be the thunder attribute’s heavenly and earthly treasures, followed by the blood and flesh of the strong Human Race martial artists.
But now, Kang Jin Rat King realized his previous notion might not be entirely accurate.
If anything, the best nourishment for him, why couldn’t it be the Human Race martial artists possessing innate divine thunder...
