Free Web NovelChapter 2167: Chapter 2168: Siege Assault! Four Updates
The Saint Heir of Taiyi, Stone Demon Lord, and the Traveler stood in prominent positions atop the ancient city.
Among many young martial artists, their strength was considered among the strongest, so they would naturally lead the offensive as the demonic tide descended.
Why haven’t Beast God, Luo Fu, Jin Shanshun, and Qin Feng been seen?
Ye Qiu scanned around but saw none of the four, which gave him an unsettling feeling, could they be in danger?
It shouldn’t be.
As long as they are within the ancient city, no one would dare make a move, otherwise, the enforcers of order would not allow it.
They must still be alive.
Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered. If the four are indeed in danger, he would definitely find out who killed them. In truth, even if he didn’t look, he could still guess who it might be, as there are only a few who have grudges with him.
Moreover, those with strength are even fewer.
However, Ye Qiu still clung to a sliver of hope, after all, he just hadn’t seen the four, which didn’t necessarily mean they were in danger.
*&%￥#...
A strange sound emerged from the mouth of a sovereign abyss demon, followed by Ye Qiu seeing the demons ahead of him rush toward the side of Star River Ancient City along with a sovereign demon.
At the same time, the demonic army split into two groups, one attacking the other side and the rear wall, while the remaining abyss demons directly assaulted the front of the ancient city.
Roar!
The sovereign abyss demons all unleashed roars, marking the beginning of their assault on the city.
Kill!
Battle the demons to the end!
Slaughter all these beasts!
On the city walls, numerous young martial artists, invigorated as if filled with adrenaline, spurred themselves on and battled against the countless abyss demons.
Puh! Puh! Puh!
The young martial artists didn’t leave the city walls; they all remained atop, defending steadfastly. But the number of abyss demons was overwhelming, and even with the wall full of defenders, many demons still made their way up.
Especially at the front of the ancient city, where the abyss demons were most numerous, attacking fiercely, most of the sovereign abyss demons gathered there.
The Saint Heir of Taiyi wielded the Ying Long Spear as demon after demon fell, like skewered candied fruit.
"The Saint Heir of Taiyi is so formidable, like a one-man army, impregnable to thousands!" Martial artists inside the ancient city watched the Saint Heir wielding his spear with a mix of admiration, envy, and respect.
Truly the foremost among the young generation, with one move slaying sovereign-level abyss demons, wiping out five in one strike, equivalent to five ordinary saints unable to withstand a blow from the Saint Heir.
The disparity in power even among similarly aged martial artists had many feeling wistful.
"The Stone Demon Lord is also fierce, only slightly slower than the Saint Heir in slaying sovereign abyss demons." Someone pointed at the silhouette of the Stone Demon Lord.
"Both of their attacks are so swift. Living in the same era as them, I wonder if it’s our fortune or misfortune, alas..."
At this moment, the speed at which the Stone Demon Lord and the Saint Heir cut down abyss demons was astonishing.
No demon that rushed up could endure more than three moves.
These weren’t ordinary abyss demons, but sovereign abyss demons.
"Let’s all be prepared, soon it’ll be our turn. Though our strength doesn’t match these two saints, we can’t lag too much in slaying abyss demons."
"Indeed, slaying abyss demons and exchanging military merit points, this is the best opportunity. The demonic tide is both a crisis and a chance for us because we have countless abyss demons to kill without needing to search. As long as we survive, why can’t we reach the heights of the Saint Heir or the Stone Demon Lord in the future?"
These words fueled everyone’s motivation. Indeed, who is inferior to whom? Even if we can’t catch up now, with effort, there’s no reason we won’t one day.
After several attacks by the demonic tide, the surviving young martial artists all gained resilience, refusing to surrender easily.
And with others’ words spurring them on, they were even more driven now.
To deal with the recurring onslaughts of the demonic tide in the dark, everyone had long devised a unified battle strategy.
First, a group of strong fighters would defend the city, as the beginning of the demonic tide would inevitably be fierce, attacking the hardest. Once weathering the initial onslaught, things would be easier.
Every ten minutes, a second wave of martial artists would step in, replacing the first, followed by a third wave taking over from the second, to cycle this way, maximizing everyone’s stamina to avoid exhaustion on the battlefield.
Star River Ancient City’s left side.
A sovereign abyss demon led an assault here, while the enforcers held the front of the city. On the side, Ye Qiu was curious who could possibly withstand the attack of sovereign demons.
Ye Qiu didn’t rush to the front; he couldn’t possibly help the abyss demons storm the city, and even if killing human martial artists, it should be Hongyuan Holy Son, the Saint Heir, and the likes. Others had no personal vendetta with him, making him hesitate to strike.
Ye Qiu adhered to his own principles: if others don’t provoke him, he won’t provoke them.
Thus, Ye Qiu remained pretending at the rear, acting as if charging forward, but his feet hadn’t actually moved.
Just maintaining this guise was enough to deceive the other abyss demons.
After all, at this moment, the demons were all attacking Star River Ancient City, who would pay attention to his anomaly?
On the city walls, filled with youthful martial artists, Ye Qiu was taken aback, spotting Turquoise Pool.
If a sovereign abyss demon struck over, given Ye Qiu’s strength, it would be dangerous for him.
While Ye Qiu was worrying about Turquoise Pool’s safety, the sovereign abyss demon had already charged over.
It was like a meteor crashing down, in the eyes of the demon, Turquoise Pool and the others were mere ants, unable to withstand its power.
It was not as easily slain as sovereign abyss demons.
"Danger!"
Ye Qiu’s heart raced with worry for Turquoise Pool. Yet, as the demon approached the city wall, a thunderous explosion sounded.
A giant mushroom cloud appeared above the ancient city.
The mushroom cloud, along with the noise, was felt by Ye Qiu as the ground trembled beneath him.
"This kind of power..." Ye Qiu recalled a terrifying weapon from Earth, one once launched could obliterate everything, even destroy a planet.
The previous display resembled that ultimate weapon.
"Hit, hit!"
A cheer rose from the city wall, conveying everyone’s joy at seeing the attack strike the sovereign demon.
Only then did Ye Qiu notice, at this moment, someone was new on the city wall.
And this person had a dark cannon barrel perched on their shoulder.
Clearly, the recent attack was fired from the weapon on their shoulder.
That such a weapon would appear with him wasn’t surprising; if someone else had it, Ye Qiu wouldn’t understand, but this was the Traveler, a mechanical race genius.
Just one thing caused Ye Qiu to shiver: If the Traveler possessed such powerful modern tech weaponry, why didn’t he use it when teamed against Taiyi and the Stone Demon Lord?
Only one truth: he held back and hadn’t shown all his cards!
