Every punch landed squarely, shattering the tiger's bones and causing blood to gush out like lava!
Even so, the Fiery Tiger was still struggling in its death throes. Xie Ran glared at it angrily and used his palm as a knife to plunge it into the tiger's belly, tearing out the Fiery Tiger's heart in one fell swoop!
With its heart detached from its body, the Fiery Tiger howled and sent Xie Ran flying! Its entire body burst into flames, burning wildly in place.
Before long, the Fiery Tiger in the sea of fire still couldn't deliver the final blow. It could only watch helplessly as Xie Ran, who was kneeling, stood up again. Even though the flames burned his right arm, exposing the white bone, it didn't stop him from taking out the Fiery Heart in his hand!
"So what if it's an eight-star magical beast? This punch of mine is deadly!"
"Deadly punch! Deadly punch! Deadly punch!!!"
Witnessing this, the surrounding soldiers were greatly encouraged and charged towards the monsters with cheers!
Seeing their leader being torn apart by a powerful human with his bare hands, the monsters were so frightened that they tucked their tails between their legs and retreated from the city walls.
The giant python was also badly injured by Dice King Tang Ningchuan and Huainan City General Chu Tai. After vomiting acid for the last time, it immediately slid out through the gap in the still unrepaired formation.
A thrilling battle!
Liu Lang and Han Fangfang have been fighting for nearly three hours since they arrived here, and only now have they seen signs of the monsters retreating.
But... this is only temporary.
There were also the auras of more than a dozen eight-star ferocious beasts outside the great formation. It was because they were impatient and launched an attack before the magical beasts had even settled in.
This caused the monsters to become separated from the main force, and the core of the great formation in Huainan City was forcibly activated, which is why Chu Tai and the others were able to defend this place.
"They survived!"
"Another day has passed..."
The battle at the East Gate was worlds apart from that at the South Gate. The sheer number of flying magical beasts alone would have been enough to cause the South Gate to fail, but here they were merely a means to distract the soldiers.
Everyone licked their wounds, without even taking a break. They then carried their comrades' bodies back to the foot of the city wall, arranged them together, and returned with materials to repair the wall.
The weapon refiners also arrived here. Upon seeing the scene of blood flowing like a river and the warriors who sacrificed themselves to protect the city, they were not only heavy-hearted but also shed tears of sorrow.
And there will be many more battles like this in the future.
"Lieutenant, how many of us lost this time?"
"Report...Report! Over 2,300 seriously injured, over 8,000 slightly injured, and nearly 4,000 dead..."
Upon hearing the report, Chu Tai's expression grew increasingly grim. Their Huainan City only had 30,000 garrison troops, and half of them had already been wounded or killed. This was only the first time their formation had been breached. What would happen next?
Even if we could hold on with half the effort, what about the time after that? And the time after that?
Although Chu Tai was very anxious inside, he remained calm and composed on the surface.
"Thank you all for your hard work. Tonight I will personally reward you and tell you to keep going. As long as we can hold on, we will definitely achieve final victory."
Huainan City will not fall. The military headquarters is right behind us; their reinforcements will arrive... definitely.
Looking at Chu Tai's steady, square face, the adjutant felt his grief and confusion subside. He then bid farewell to Lord Chu Tai and returned to the city wall to encourage everyone.
At this moment, the deputy general also brought two messages.
One issue concerns the discipline of the convict unit; ultimately, they are a group of prisoners, and a powerful group of prisoners at that.
Apart from the most vicious prisoners who were killed on the spot, all those who entered Huainan City Prison were people who were willing to obey discipline.
As for Dice King Tang Ningchuan, his sentence had long been served. However, because of the Huainan Rebellion he led, which caused heavy losses to many sects, he was reluctant to leave even though he was able to!
As for Xie Ran, who is still serving his sentence for the Deadly Fist, and for a long time to come, this is a matter of the military region's reputation. If the sect does not trust the military region in the future, the southern region will have to spend even more effort to manage this matter.
They were already busy enough, and the Southern Military District had its own enemies; they didn't have time to deal with these trivial matters.
"And the second piece of news?"
"This is good news. Not long ago, a friendly squad stormed into the city from the south gate and repelled the monsters there. They then came to our side and helped us reduce a lot of our casualties."
They are currently waiting outside...
