The earth beast was not dead, but he was clutching his chest and unable to stand. The punch he had just received had traveled through its arm to its shoulder and then to its heart.
If it weren't for the beast's powerful physique, it would have already died from a shattered heart!
"This arm is ruined!" Yuwen Xin looked at Jiang Yuan, who had fallen, with deep sorrow. Even the best medical team in the world couldn't help with an arm broken like this.
Not only were the bones of one arm shattered, but the flesh and tendons were also reduced to a pile of mud, making it incurable.
"Jiang Yuan!" Ning Yanlan covered her mouth, trembling.
A flash of light appeared in the darkness. Leng Yue had no time to grieve; she seized the opportunity Jiang Yuan had gained by sacrificing his life to launch an assassination attempt.
"Dark Assassination!"
The attack landed on the Earth Beast's brow; Leng Yue's strike was intended to kill the Earth Beast.
With a sizzling sound, Leng Yue's lightning mark erupted at full power, but the expected kill was not achieved. Instead, Dark Thorn left a basketball-sized wound on the Earth Beast's forehead.
"Damn it, if I were a few points stronger, I could have killed it!" Leng Yue had no choice but to retreat. At this moment, she hated her own powerlessness. Even though she was only at the sixth level, she could have killed the Earth Beast with that attack. Unfortunately, she was not. She was just a weakling with forty points of strength.
"Human, my Mountain-Shaking Fist must be hurting! You're trading your crippling strength for my injury, don't you think that's foolish?" The Earth Beast waved its hand, and the beast tide began to surge.
"Jiang Yuan, let's go, let's get out of here!"
When Leng Yue retreated, she came to Jiang Yuan's side. She guessed that Jiang Yuan was already exhausted, so she wanted to take him away from the Sanjiu Camp. This place could not be defended, but with their strength, they were sure they could escape unscathed.
"I still have one hand!" Jiang Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, a stress response caused by being close to the limit of human pain.
"It's nothing, just a broken arm!" Leng Yue thought he was in a low mood. "If Ning Yanlan doesn't want you, I will!"
"Who told you that!"
Jiang Yuan sighed deeply. He slowly stood up, blood dripping from the wound on his shoulder onto the ground. "I mean, I can still throw one more punch!"
Leng Yue's beautiful eyes widened. She even suspected that Jiang Yuan had given up on himself because he couldn't accept his disability. But when she tried to stop him, Jiang Yuan had already rushed forward like a madman.
"No!" In her desperation, Leng Yue pulled, but instead grabbed Jiang Yuan's empty right arm. Only then did she remember that just now, this man's arm had been blasted apart.
"Fist One!"
Jiang Yuan, almost roaring, swung his left arm and threw a punch—a punch filled with conviction, a punch that was invincible.
The earth beast roared, for as a noble beast race, its honor did not allow it to back down, so the scene from before was destined to repeat itself.
"Mountain-Shaking Fist!"
One man and one brute force clash in a duel of beliefs.
The process was almost identical to the one before, except that the result this time was even more tragic.
When Jiang Yuan was sent flying backward, he sprayed a shower of blood, while the earth beast's internal organs were mostly shattered, and it was clear that it would not live much longer; death was only a matter of time.
"Jiang Yuan!"
Ning Yanlan broke free from the Heavenly Soul Child and stumbled towards Jiang Yuan's location.
As for the savage beast, it laughed loudly, looking down over the entire field and roaring, "For my people, dying in battle is an honor!"
At this moment, the entire beast tide ceased its attack, seemingly giving a final farewell to the dying earth beasts.
"What a pity, do you think you can defend this city?"
The savage beast slowly rose to its feet, its body standing tall amidst the beast tide like a war god.
"Kill it, and we can end the beast tide!" Yuwen Xin knew that what the Sanjiu Camp needed most at this moment was faith, an invincible faith, and he was the best person to instill that faith in them.
All you need to do is kill this savage beast of the earth!
You are not worthy!
The savage beast roared, but what followed was a gush of blood; fragments of its internal organs, shattered from the impact, were coughed up.
"Whether you are worthy or not is no longer up to you!" Yuwen Xin stepped forward with his knife, the earth beasts no longer a match for him.
"hehe!"
The savage beast gave a mocking laugh, glanced at Jiang Yuan, and said with a hint of sympathy, "You think this is the end, but little do you know, this is just the beginning!"
Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered the results of the Heavenly Eye's assessment and shouted frantically, "Kill it!"
"Too late!" The earth beast smiled calmly, a surge of energy emanating from its body, "Earth War Song!"
"I am willing to become a flag and spread the glory of my people!"
"Let destruction be met amidst the battle song of the earth!"
After he finished speaking, the earth beast died completely, but a magnificent battle song resounded throughout the entire mountain valley, and every monster and holy beast in the beast tide was strengthened.
The beast tide has undergone a qualitative change!
"We're doomed!"
This was the thought of the vast majority of people present. What was the most terrifying thing about the beast tide? Eighth-tier monsters?
No!
It was that endless tide of beasts!
Roar! Whoosh!
Various beast roars appeared, and under the influence of the Earth War Song, the beast tide became stronger and more frenzied.
No monsters are afraid of death anymore; they only want to rush into the city and tear apart all living beings.
The first line of defense beneath the city was breached within five minutes, and the shield warriors began to retreat. With their capabilities, they could no longer defend the entire city and could only concede a portion of it.
Ten minutes later, the first monster to climb the city wall since the Sky-Splitter died.
In half an hour, the city wall became a mere formality, and endless corpses formed a beast ladder below the city, allowing the beast tide to surge straight into the Sanjiu Camp.
No one could control it. All the defenders could do was try their best to kill as many monsters as possible. As for those who ran into the city, they had no way to stop them. This was a disaster for Camp 39, and it was not something that the defenders could face alone.
"Fool, why did you risk your life!" Ning Yanlan hugged Jiang Yuan and sobbed uncontrollably.
Jiang Yuan was covered in blood, but his smile was pure. He looked at Ning Yanlan with affection and said, "Don't cry. You won't look good if you cry your eyes out!"
"You're really an idiot!" Leng Yue tried her best to revive Jiang Yuan, hoping for a miracle.
"Wait, the Heavenly Soul Child seems to have changed!" Jiang Yuan turned his gaze to the Heavenly Soul Child beside him.
As the beast tide progressed, death had become a mere statistic, affecting both monsters and humans. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Soul Child was absorbing a peculiar power.
"Soul?" Jiang Yuan suddenly recalled a scene he had witnessed in Tieling Village, where Tianhun Tong was quite skilled at controlling souls.
"Wait, wait, wait! If I wait any longer, I'll lose you!" Ning Yanlan cried angrily. She had never seen anyone who didn't cherish herself.
"I'm waiting for divine power, what are you waiting for!" Jiang Yuan sat up with a wry smile and leaned against Ning Yanlan.
"What's the meaning?"
"Includes the Breath of Stone template!"
"Talent replacement: Replace Breath of Stone with Regeneration!"
