The Giant Who Flew into the Sky
"Roar~"
The Manticore roared in pain, its left wing fur turning black and flaking, which only fueled its ferocity. It tore through the air with its claws and pounced straight at the fire dragon.
As Lin Xu conceived the thought, the fire dragon suddenly scattered into a sky full of flowing fire, like starlight falling from the sky.
Manticore off guard, the manticore's claws missed their mark, but it crashed headlong into a scorching net of fire—each spark like a maggot, bursting, burrowing, burning its flesh and bones between its scales.
It let out a shrill scream, its body scorched by flames, its scales slightly reddened, and its Scorpion Tail Sting at the end of its tail lashed wildly like a poisonous needle, emitting a sharp whistling sound that cut through the air!
The Manticore, writhing in agony and madness, struggled in mid-air, trying to escape the swarming flames that clung to its bones. But Lin Xu flicked his finger, and the Glazed Spirit Lamp suddenly blazed brightly, causing the flames to surge again, engulfing the giant beast like a tidal wave.
"Babalu!" A loud shout rose from the foot of the mountain, causing rocks to tumble down.
The giant city lord's furious roar echoed through the mountains. Its mountain-like body soared into the air, carrying with it shattered rocks and violent Sha Qi as it charged toward the cave halfway up the mountain.
High-ranking warriors can actually fly!
Lin Xu's pupils contracted as he prepared to divert some of his energy to deal with the approaching giant city lord.
"Traitor, cease your arrogance! Take this!" Tiger's Roar roared, splitting the clouds, as the Black Tiger Demon swung its giant axe down, the blade tearing through the gale, carrying immense force as it slashed at the oncoming giant city lord.
"Get out of my way!" The giant city lord swept his greatsword across, colliding violently with the incoming giant axe. The clang of metal against metal shook the cliffs, and the shockwaves surged like a tide.
"Clang~"
The giant axe flew through the air, and the black tiger demon was sent flying backward, blood spurting from its mouth. It crashed into three ancient pine trees before barely managing to stop its downward spiral.
The tiger demon felt a sweet taste in its throat, but swallowed the blood. Its eyes widened in anger, and its spine cracked like thunder. It forcefully twisted its body while flying backward, abruptly stopping its retreating trajectory.
"Aww~"
A phantom image of a white tiger rose into the air from its back, roaring to the sky with a sound that shook the heavens.
It's a "Tiger's Roar"!
Impacted by the spell, the giant's mind went blank, and his charge suddenly halted.
"Chirp chirp~ (Opportunity, Soul Shock Blast!)"
In mid-air, Qiuqiu was secretly anxious, suddenly lit up her eyes and subconsciously gave the order to attack.
The four Evil Eye Dharma Protector, who had been secretly gathering their power, unleashed their Mind Shock Blast at the dungeon lord almost simultaneously.
The giant city lord's consciousness was shaken by the Tiger's Roar's roar. Before he could even sense the danger, he was bombarded by four powerful Soul Shock Blast wolves.
The superimposed shockwaves struck his brain like a heavy hammer. The giant city lord's eyes instantly went out of focus, his pupils dilated, and fine blood vessels seeped from his nose and ear canals. His forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, and his massive body suddenly plummeted toward the ground.
Boom--!
A large crater suddenly appeared on the hillside.
Having successfully landed a blow, Hu Da had recovered, his magical power flowing through his body, and his arm, which had been damaged by the violent collision, was rapidly healing.
Black clouds rolled beneath his feet, transforming into a swift shadow as he pounced towards the giant city lord in the pit.
However, someone was faster—a crimson phantom flashed, and the Ghost Bride silently swept to the edge of the pit. With a light flick of her hand, a blood-red hairpin shot out like a blood-red blade, piercing straight into the giant city lord's brow!
"Clang~"
With a soft hum, the hairpin was repelled by a layer of dark, Gang Qi, shattering into a cloud of blood mist.
The giant city lord shook his head, braced himself with his hands, and stood up abruptly from the pit.
Its massive body shook down rocks like rain. It ignored the retreating Ghost Bride and stared intently at the four Evil Eye Dharma Protector floating above the cave.
"Traitor!" it roared angrily, its black Dou Qi surging like a tide, scattering all the soil and rocks in the pit.
With a single stomp, the earth cracked inch by inch, and as if a bamboo shoot were rising from the dry land, the enormous figure soared into the sky, charging once again toward the cave.
Despite being struck by the Tiger's Roar's roar and then subjected to four Soul Shock Blast, it showed no signs of weakness. Instead, the intense pain fueled an even more ferocious fighting spirit!
"What a tough bone!" Lin Xu took a breath, and with a thought, the spirit lamp in his hand flashed, and another fire dragon soared into the sky, fiercely attacking the giant city lord who was coming!
The fire dragon roared, and flames poured down like a waterfall, scorching the air and causing it to distort and hiss.
The giant city lord neither dodged nor evaded, but brandished his longsword. A dark sword light tore through the curtain of fire, and the dragon's head was severed in response, with flames scattering like a rain of stars.
But in the next instant, the fire dragon's mangled body flipped back and instantly reformed, coiling around the giant city lord's waist!
At this moment, the Black Tiger Demon attacked again, wielding its chipped giant axe, the blade carrying wind and thunder as it cleaved straight at the giant's neck.
The Ghost Bride, who had retreated after her previous unsuccessful attack, had blood-red light condense at her fingertips again, and her figure flashed silently, appearing behind the giant.
"Get out of here!"
The giant city lord roared like thunder, and the Dark Battle Qi he had condensed suddenly erupted, sweeping across the surroundings like a black shockwave!
The Black Tiger Demon was the first to be thrown back several dozen feet, tumbling and crashing into the rock wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood; the Ghost Bride's blood shadow dissipated, and she screamed as she flew backward, her bright red wedding dress shattering into pieces.
The fire dragon, however, raised its head and roared amidst the shockwave, suddenly transforming into a sharp arrow that pierced straight at the giant city lord!
"Boom~"
The fiery arrow pierced through the shockwave of Dou Qi and slammed into the giant city lord's chest, exploding into a ball of blazing white flames!
Amidst the violent shockwave, the giant tumbled through the air before crashing heavily to the foot of the mountain, causing the earth to tremble and dust to billow up like a curtain.
Having repelled the giant city lord with a single blow, Lin Xu frowned and looked towards the mountainside.
While he was distracted, the monster army, inspired by the giant city lord's charge, launched a fierce attack on the rock fortress at the entrance of the cave.
Led by the dark warriors, they transformed into streaks of light, crashing heavily against the fortress's rock walls.
"Boom~"
The Dark Battle Qi roared and slammed violently against the rock wall.
The rock face trembled violently, spiderweb-like cracks spread instantly, and rubble crumbled off in a flurry.
A faint glow appeared on the granite city wall; this was the Iron Wall Formation at work, dispersing the impact force concentrated at one point across the entire wall.
As the dark warriors launched their fierce attack, the outer layer of the rock wall shattered, breaking off a layer about a foot thick as if shedding its skin!
As the gravel crumbled away, the hard inner layer of granite was exposed, remaining steadfast except for its slightly uneven surface.
This is Lin Xu's meticulously designed multi-layered defensive structure. No matter how powerful your Dark Warrior is, you can't break through these layers of walls in one go!
Using the momentum of their charge, the dark warriors' unleashed Dark Battle Qi was stopped by the city walls.
The Fallen Demon and demon soldiers defending the city walls are ready and prepared to fight at any moment.
"Unfortunately, all the teams lack ranged archers." Lin Xu glanced at the battlefield, and with a thought, he picked up the soil from the ground and transformed it into stone balls the size of human heads.
Li Yingqiu's eyes lit up, and she quickly commanded the monsters to pick up the stone balls and smash them down towards the city.
Holding a bow and arrow, she directed the two newly recruited Qi Refining cultivators to use their fingers as swords, unleashing invisible Sword Qi that pierced and tore apart the monster archers below the wall.
