Chapter 624 The truth behind defending the city

"The Sky-Piercing Golden Eagle! It's the Sky-Piercing Golden Eagle!"

"The Beast King is coming! Get out of the way!"

"Damn it! How can we hide now? The beast tide is coming!"

"Keep firing the crossbow! Keep firing the crossbow!"

"Hold on! The Beast King and the Great Beast King are also attacking. Form a formation to repel them! There's no point in running. If you can't hold on, we're all doomed!"

"Don't panic, don't get confused, the city lord will take action!"

“.”

The sounds of brutal fighting mixed with the roars of the soldiers and the howls of the ferocious beasts, making the entire battlefield even more chaotic.

When the true form of the Sky-piercing Golden Eagle descended, it pushed all of this to the extreme.

That's the Beast King!

An existence comparable to the third stage of ascension to the Gods.

An area can be wiped out in a single thought, and even under the extremely strict world laws of the ancient continent, the lives of all the humans in a city can be easily wiped out.

If it were in an ordinary universe, an existence of this level would be able to travel in the sea of ​​billions of stars, shuttle between star fields, and play between black holes and white holes.

It is not difficult to shatter an entire star.

Now, facing it is a group of beast-blooded warriors.

A group of low-level transcendents, most of whom will never be able to cultivate to the War King realm in their lifetime.

If placed in the world of immortal cultivation, this is no different from the gap between a foundation-building cultivator and a Mahayana earthly immortal.

There is a gap in between due to the level of life.

The golden eagle just flew through the air, and the residual power it unleashed was enough to make ordinary ferocious beasts and beast-blooded warriors tremble and fall into endless fear.

The pressure that comes from the essence of life cannot be resisted simply by willpower and a firm heart.

After entering the stage of godhood, the intangible product of momentum can be completely transformed into reality.

Ordinary life forms may even die from the collapse of both soul and body because they cannot withstand the huge amount of "information" carried by higher-level life forms.

Under Qiu Shuang's organization, countless warriors gritted their teeth and formed battle formations, releasing the crumbling souls of their ancestors to barely resist the terrifying pressure from the ferocious beast king.

Mach rings connected in series in the sky.

The golden eagle broke through the layers of sound barriers and dived towards the ground at an extremely high speed, as if it wanted to destroy the city with one blow.

The red fire and green grass that had already reached the inner layer changed their expressions drastically, and they couldn't help but want to show their cultivation to defend themselves.

This speed is really too astonishing.

Even if the other party does nothing and just crashes to the ground at this speed, Glowing City may become part of the dust of history in an instant.

Even if Chihuo and Qingcao Ranming joined forces, they had no confidence that they could withstand such a powerful Sky-piercing Golden Eagle.

The opponent has at least reached the level of the Sky-Tearing Bear King a year ago, or even surpassed it.

They heard it from their fifth brother.

That person has already stepped into the realm of top-level beast kings, and can be regarded as the first tier below the beast gods.

"I'm afraid only Senior Maomao can kill this beast!"

Qingcao and Chihuo thought the same thing.

The two men looked at each other, and the blood pills in their bodies had been activated. Their vigorous blood and energy were surging, and they were ready to take action at any time.

They had already made up their minds. The moment the city lord led the so-called spearhead team to attack, the two of them launched attacks on the vital points of the Sky-piercing Golden Eagle from two different directions.

If we can break through the opponent's surface defense at his weak point, perhaps there is still room for a turnaround.

Whether it is Chihuo's ancestral war spear or Qingcao's phoenix true fire, both have the potential to penetrate the Beast King's defense and even cause further damage.

Just needs a chance.

Mr. Mao has said before that birds and ferocious beasts generally rely on speed and burst damage, and their defense is generally weak.

If you find the right opportunity, there may be a possibility of a turnaround!

I just hope that the combined attack formation that the City Lord and the Sharp Knife Squad can unleash is strong enough to compete with the Beast King.

Chihuo and Qingcao had already seen several people walking out from the inner city and standing next to the highest ancestral sacred fire in the center of the city.

The center of the formation is composed of a woman who exudes a majestic aura and is clad in pitch-black armor.

The weapon in her hand was also a spear!

I guess she is the city lord, a powerful person at the level of War Emperor.

The remaining six people all exuded the aura of a war king. They also used guns as weapons, inheriting the weapon style of the Lieyan War Lord thousands of years ago.

Under the leadership of the centurion, the combined attack formation composed of dozens of low-level beast-blood warriors has the strength to compete with the Beast King.

The battle formation led by Qiu Shuang can even compete with the Beast King.

The battle formation led by a city lord of the War Emperor level might really have a chance to overthrow the Beast Emperor!

Just as Chi Yan and Qing Cao were secretly gathering their strength and preparing to attack, the scene before them suddenly made them a little difficult to understand.

A golden eagle carrying a powerful aura descended from the sky. The wind pressure brought by its extreme speed caused the buildings in the city to fall down, almost crushing the city walls into a pile of rubble.

However, the opponent did not rely on this indomitable and powerful aura to directly break through the battle formation formed by the city lord and others in one breath. Instead, they went straight to the angle between the west wall and the north wall.

"boom!"

In just a moment, the lightning-fast golden eagle tore through the city defense formation that even the Great Beast King could be delayed by, and with one blow, it flattened nearly half of the two sections of the city wall at the same time!

The angle formed by the two sections of the city wall is now only a huge pit with a bottomless ravine!

The ancestral sacred fire placed at the corner of the city wall disappeared, and the entire city defense formation was almost destroyed in an instant.

The formation, which was missing a corner, was no longer able to maintain its perfect protection. The intensity of the blood-colored light film in many places was decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

For a time, the pressure on the city wall defense increased dramatically.

If it weren't for the terrifying aftermath of the Beast King's attack, which made it impossible to distinguish between friend and foe, the three layers of beast tides outside the city might have already rushed into the city wall through the gap and marched straight in.

"call!"

The figure of the golden eagle flying through the sky was like golden lightning. After destroying the city wall, its pair of golden wings suddenly set off a fire storm.

The scorching heat evaporated the flesh and blood, and the raging flames engulfed the entire remaining north wall.

"suck!"

Suddenly, an infinite suction force came from the sharp beak of the bird, and the fierce fire hurricane reversed in an instant, carrying with it countless warriors and ferocious beasts who had barely withstood the first wave of flames and flew back together.

Their bodies were like balloons that had been stretched to the extreme, exploding one after another in the air, blowing out clouds of sticky blood mist.

All the flesh, blood, internal organs, and soul on the body were sucked away by the golden eagle and swallowed.

Chihuo and Qingcao looked at each other, both seeing confusion and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

This Golden Eagle King that soars through the sky seems to have no desire to fight?

It seemed like it didn't want to fight at all, as if it was just there to eat.

Even before landing and destroying the city wall, it slowed down on its own initiative in order to leave a moment to devour the beast-blooded warriors on the wall before completely destroying the wall.

and

Is the other party crazy?

Why didn't he even let his own men go? The ferocious beasts were killed indiscriminately at the same time!

Without much social experience, they felt something was wrong almost instinctively at this moment.

It was the killing instinct left over from years of hunting, the instinct of a ferocious beast.

Things shouldn't have turned out this way.

There are problems in every aspect of this Beast King's behavior.

"Evil beast! Stop being so arrogant! Watch out for the gun!"

The team led by the city lord finally completed the formation of the battle formation at this time.

The hundred-meter-tall ancestral fighting spirit rose from the inner city like a giant that reached the sky and the earth. It almost merged with the ancestral holy fire, and its body was instantly burning with flames.

The long spear made a terrifying whistling sound in the air and flew straight towards the golden eagle flying through the sky!

“KANG!”

The clanging sound of metal swept across the entire battlefield in an instant, piercing people's eardrums.

After the collision, the fire giant leaned back and seemed to be knocked off balance.

The golden eagle soaring through the sky let out a disdainful hiss, then spewed out another breath of flame, and then sucked it back in.

Start devouring the people in the city directly!

The city lord seemed stunned. He didn't expect that the attack he released would be blocked by the other party so easily. Even the fire giant stopped for a moment.

Then, the city lord shouted again, and once again held the spear and rushed towards the golden eagle flying through the sky.

For a while, the fire giant and the golden eagle fought fiercely.

Even though the city lord and others had tried their best to resist, they were still unable to stop the golden eagle from flying through the sky and devouring the people.

In just a few minutes, North City was almost completely devoured!

The people in chaos began to flee towards the south city.

The Beast King attacked the city.

The city lord is leading the spearhead team, relying on the combined attack formation composed of the ancestral holy fire and the city defense formation to resist tenaciously, trying to repel them.

This is what ordinary people and the beast-blooded warriors who are fighting bloody battles think.

Chihuo and Qingcao, the two Seven Seal War Emperors who could truly understand what was happening, felt a chill all over their bodies.

They clearly felt that the battle between the two sides was just a performance like a set of moves!

We were fighting fiercely, but there was no sign of injury at all!

They clearly saw the one with the War Emperor cultivation level having some kind of conversation with the Sky-piercing Golden Eagle!

"Eagle King, you have devoured more than a quarter of the outer city's population and warriors. You've even eaten a War King. Shouldn't you be satisfied this time?"

The armored city lord slightly opened his cherry lips and uttered a pleading sound.

"No more. Another emperor just came last night. You have broken the established rules this time. Our Glowing City has been severely damaged. It will take more than ten years to recover."

"Satisfied? Rules? Ha, screw the rules! What kind of rules are we talking about at this point?" Piercing Golden Eagle replied while eating. "Don't worry, I'll run after I've eaten a third of the food. The rest will go to those two guys."

Upon hearing this, the city lord trembled, and the other war kings were even more unbearable, with expressions of horror on their faces.

"Eagle Emperor, this! This! How come our hundred-year cooperation is not pleasant enough? How did we offend the three emperors?" The city lord's tone was extremely humble.

The Sky-piercing Golden Eagle sneered, "Offended? No, it's just that a monster from the west is attacking us. Almost all the Beast Kings of the Ancient Western Continent have been slaughtered. The entire Western Continent has been ruled by the Wolf Clan. The leading black-gold monster will sooner or later become the Wolf God. Are we going to stay here and die if we don't run?"

"Beast God!" The city lord was stunned for a moment. "The Western Continent has fallen into the hands of the Wolf Tribe! It's ruined, it's all ruined. They'll probably need more resources and time."

The Sky-Piercing Golden Eagle took another bite, then exchanged a few blows with the Flame Giant before continuing, "In consideration of our pleasant cooperation over the years, I'm giving you a piece of advice—pack up your things and run away immediately. We'll take care of your fellow tribesmen and won't waste anything. Those wolves are already very close, and they won't spare any of their own tribe members except those who can be absorbed into their destiny. Staying here will mean death!"

"Once I devour one-third of the human race in these five cities, the spiritual energy I gain will be enough to elevate my comprehension to a higher level. As long as I can seize another race from the Central Continent and redevelop it, with the help of deeper power of destiny, higher comprehension, and better spiritual veins, I may have the opportunity to become a true Eagle Emperor, or even step into the realm of Eagle God!"

"Eagle Emperor, wait! Things may not have reached the worst point yet!" The city lord suddenly screamed, "Over the peak of the barrier, our human race still has power over there. The rapid population growth of Glowing City over the years is due to that support. Our human race also has war masters who are no less powerful than you!"

"That's useless. Unless your human War Lord is as skilled as the Fiery Flame War Lord from three thousand years ago, we'll still be doomed." Piercing Golden Eagle scoffed. "Furthermore, if your race truly possesses such a master, why wouldn't you send yourself and your predecessors here instead of wiping us out?"

The city lord bit his lip tightly, mustered up his courage and said in a trembling voice, "Sending us to take the position of city lord, and continuously sending people and warriors from the human heartland, is to reduce internal resource consumption and also to stimulate the creation of resources!"

"My husband holds a high position within the human race. He sent me a message a while ago saying that the human race has already established a firm foothold in the Central Continent, and that their destiny is showing signs of transforming into a dragon. The Imperial City is preparing for the ancestor's promotion to the God of War!"

"Once the ancestor's promotion is complete, he will be truly qualified to compete for the continent's hegemony. Our human race's strategy will also shift to the offensive, completely abolishing the current border farming system and focusing solely on active harvesting."

"Eagle King, I will no longer hide this from you. You, the Ferocious Beast Kings, believe that the human race is weak and treat the five cities of my Western Territory as breeding grounds. In reality, you are also part of my breeding plan for the human race."

"Those warriors and civilians are the nourishment of the Beast King. The Beast King is also the nourishment for our tribe's War Lords and War Kings to advance."

"Why do you think the previous generations of emperors before you mysteriously disappeared? They simply reached maturity and were harvested by the powerful men of our human race. Once you become the peak Beast Emperor, even if the wolf tribe doesn't come, you will still die."

"Take me and my men with you and fly over the barrier peak into the heart of the human race. I can introduce you to the human leaders and ensure your safety!"
