Under the shroud of dark clouds, in a broad plaza overgrown with weeds in the Ancient City, a group of people was locked in fierce battle with a large horde of bizarre creatures.
These bizarre creatures stood between one point seven and one point nine meters tall. They had the backs of tigers and waists of bears, thick white scales covering their bodies, a sharp black bone spur growing from between their brows, and mouths full of vicious fangs.
"Roar..."
With a thunderous shout, a terrifying wave of sound spread in all directions, making people's eardrums ache.
Guard Captain Chen Zhiyuan exchanged a punch with an enemy charging straight at him.
The explosive sound produced by their colliding fists could be heard even by people a kilometer away.
"Boom..."
Under the force of the impact, the two figures flew backward. After landing, Chen Zhiyuan shouted at Wu Qingfang.
"Miss, I'll hold off this White-Scaled Bone-Spur Beast leader at the Third-Order Initial Stage. Take everyone and retreat first..."
Wu Qingfang kicked away a Second-Order Early Stage White-Scaled Bone-Spur Beast that had pounced at her and replied to Chen Zhiyuan, "All right, Uncle Chen. We'll retreat first. Be careful..."
With that, she led the others swiftly toward the city gate.
"Roar..." When the White-Scaled Bone-Spur Beast leader saw Wu Qingfang and the others retreating rapidly, it naturally had no intention of letting these humans leave safely.
It immediately roared at its subordinates, ordering them to hurry after those humans and kill them. They were not to let them escape.
Seeing the White-Scaled Bone-Spur Beast leader commanding its subordinates to pursue Wu Qingfang and the others, Chen Zhiyuan charged decisively and interrupted its orders.
"Ha!"
With a loud shout, a fist glowing with pale golden light slammed violently toward the White-Scaled Bone-Spur Beast
