I can see the blood bar and my purity is extremely high

Chapter 623 Huh? I'm fighting the Beast King?

Three War Emperors joined forces to kill the Beast Emperor?

What kind of international joke are you kidding?
Did the recent battle cloud your judgment?

Qiu Shuang's naive ideas completely baffled Chi Huo.

Even if a Warrior with a Mark of Martial Arts is invincible among those of the same rank, that still applies to those of the same rank, not those of a higher rank.

It's normal for someone below the rank of King to fight someone of a higher level.

If someone who has reached the King level or above still tries to fight someone of a higher level, that's just courting death.

Not everyone is a pervert like Lu Wenwu.

You don't understand, a game mechanics-based monster can't beat a game stat-based monster.

How could he not know the combat strength of the Beast King?
Since Qinglin broke through to the Beast King level, he has been beaten up quite a bit during actual combat training.

No one knew the Beast King's actual combat strength better than him.

That was truly an insurmountable barrier.

Although he claimed that after activating the Ancestral War Spear, he could barely contend with the Beast King.

That was really a stretch.

That's really true.

This refers to the extent to which the Beast King, when serious, can get killed twice by the opponent in a minute.

It can't be a beast king with a strong foundation.

Someone like Qinglin, who possesses dragon blood and whose bloodline has been purified by Mao Mao, would only require two or three full-force attacks to kill. In a direct confrontation, the Seven Seals Battle Emperor is no match for the Beast Emperor.

Not only Chi Huo, but Qing Cao was also a little confused by Qiu Shuang's statement.

She pointed at herself: "The two of us are beast-slaying kings? Really? Is your city lord that powerful?"

Although she possesses the Phoenix True Fire, making her slightly stronger than Chi Huo and giving her maximum survival ability, she isn't significantly stronger.

Green Grass was confident that she could escape unscathed from the Beast King, or at least manage to hold her own for a short time, but she had no confidence that she could confront him head-on.

Is this city lord some kind of incredibly powerful expert like Fifth Brother, capable of fighting beyond one's level?
"Otherwise?" Qiu Shuang frowned. "Every time the ferocious beasts attack the city, the city lord leads the elite squad to fight against the Beast King and the Great Beast King. Radiant City has been established for more than two thousand years and has been breached countless times, but we have never been truly defeated!"

Red Fire and Green Grass exchanged a glance, both seeing bewilderment in each other's eyes.

Is this really a reliable idea?

"Perhaps the opponent possesses the formidable power of my ancestral spear and can truly contend against the Beast King?"

"Shall we give it a try?"

"Let's wait and see. If they really have the ability, then we'll make a move. We're all human, we can't just ignore this."

The two exchanged glances and quickly communicated telepathically, reaching an agreement.

So the three of them followed him out the door.

Chi Huo spoke up, "As fellow humans, we should help each other. We two will go to assist the city lord and fight against the Beast King. Xiao Mo, you and this one..."

My name is Qiushuang.

Qiu Shuang strode towards the city wall, donning her armor and issuing commands along the way.

"Chi Mo, is it? Someone, give her a set of armor. She will serve as my personal guard for the time being."

"Yes, that's right. You will follow this Miss Qiushuang and General Qiushuang."

As Chi Huo said this, he exchanged a glance with Qing Cao, and then his figure transformed into a green shadow and disappeared from the spot.

The other soldiers had no interest in this kind of disappearing act. Everyone rushed towards the city wall, and many soldiers even rushed to their defensive positions despite being injured.

"Damn it, what's going on with this beast tide! The intervals between the two waves are so short!" Qiu Shuang said angrily.

Chi Mo asked curiously, "Sister Qiu Shuang, is this situation very uncommon?"

Qiu Shuang took the spear and sword from her adjutant, her expression serious: "Extremely rare, at least it has never appeared since I can remember."

"Do you see that?"

She raised her head, facing the towering flames that blazed in the center of the city and around the outer walls.

After the flames started burning, they emitted a unique smell.

Chi Mo took a small sniff and felt his mind become clearer.

"This is the Sacred Flame of the Ancestral Ones, crafted with the core of ferocious beasts and precious metals. It burns the oil extracted from the bodies of beast king-level ferocious beasts to create flames, releasing an aura that terrifies the ferocious beast hordes. It can basically protect Radiant City from attacks by ordinary ferocious beasts."

"Without the Beast King's command, ordinary ferocious beasts wouldn't dare to come."

"The sacred fire of the ancestors in the center is said to be fueled by the fat of the Great Beast King, which can instill fear in the Beast King and thus affect its judgment and combat power in war, thereby weakening the enemy."

Upon hearing this, Chi Mo looked thoughtfully at the giant torch lit in the center of the city.

She could sense the power contained within, and the strange fluctuations that gave her a sense of protection.

But will this really alleviate the pressure of the beast tide?
Chi Mo had some doubts about this.

Having lived and fought alongside the wolf clan for a year, she now possesses a deep understanding of the beasts' intelligence.

Before people truly became familiar with ferocious beasts, they generally believed that only beast kings and above possessed intelligence on par with humans—because they could speak human languages.

But in reality, it was a completely different story.

All ferocious beasts with a cultivation level of one seal or higher possess intelligence no less than that of humans.

After receiving education, they can communicate with humans through writing.

It's just that due to their physical structure, they are unable to use human language.

Chi Mo believed that the sacred fire of the ancestors could drive away even the weakest ferocious beasts and wild animals.

But if it is said that even ferocious beasts possessing intelligence equivalent to humans would be intimidated by the sacred fire of the ancestors...
That seems rather unreliable.

Chi Mo believes this may just be a form of psychological comfort, roughly equivalent to the ancestral totem poles that would be erected during every battle in the Lieyan tribe.

The real reason might be that the defensive strength of Radiant City itself caused the beasts to abandon this less cost-effective "hunting" method.

As for why those ferocious beasts above the Beast King level are so determined to launch beast tides.
Chi Mo was completely clueless.

Following Qiu Shuang to the top of the city wall, rows of warriors in standard armor stood ready, exuding a chilling aura.

Many of the warriors still had freshly bandaged, bleeding wounds, but this did not diminish their morale at all. Instead, they solidified into a unified whole, their auras subtly connected.

Transporting supplies, loading arrows, cocking ballistae, and sharpening weapons.
Everyone performed their duties, and only a few centurions and chiliarchs came to report the situation after Qiushuang climbed the city wall.

This is definitely a powerful army.

They are far stronger than the "tribal warriors" of the Lieyan tribe.

But
They don't seem very strong, do they?
Apart from Qiu Shuang, there are no other War King level experts.

There were several centurions at the fourth-level, about twenty centurions at the third-level, and the rest were warriors at the second or first level, with many others not yet reaching the standard of a formal martial artist.

The number of warriors on the entire western section of the city wall does not exceed five thousand, and the number of extraordinary individuals is approximately less than three thousand, mostly of low rank.

Chi Mo was somewhat puzzled. She had also heard Qing Cao and Chi Huo's telepathic communication earlier, and the two believed that Radiant City might have some hidden tricks up its sleeve.

But now it seems that although these warriors are generally much stronger in terms of cultivation than the former Lieyan Tribe, they still haven't broken free from the shackles of the Beast Blood Warrior system.

If it were a battle between equals, Chi Mo was confident that he could take on ten of them at once.

With such combat power, can they really stop the beast tide ruled by the Beast King?
Chi Mo expressed his doubts about this.

In the past year, they have wiped out too many races ruled by the Beast King.

Without Senior Mao Mao personally charging into battle to defeat those powerful enemies, they would have paid a very heavy price in every battle.

The number of animals outside.
Chi Mo could only gasp in shock.

Based on her experience, she judged that this was formed by the fusion of at least three beast kings, with many subordinate tribes mixed in below.

There is absolutely no chance that Radiant City can be defended.

The Beast King only needs one strike to wipe Radiant City off the ground.

The aftershocks of the battle were far beyond what ordinary beast warriors could withstand; the scene of Fifth Brother's fierce battle against the seven beast kings was still vivid in his mind.

There are three Beast Kings right now!

At least!

Now she could only pray that the city lord really had some means to defeat the Beast King.

Otherwise, this city will surely fall.

Aside from a few people she could protect thanks to her innate Shadow Bat powers, the rest were destined to die.

With a deep roar, the beast horde below seemed to be activated, charging towards the city wall.

From a distance, it looked like a dark, dense mass.

Everywhere you look, there are ferocious beasts, an endless expanse where you can't see their tails.

"The main force of the beast tide is on our side. Ring the beast-suppressing bell to activate the city's defensive array on the east, south, and north sides, at the highest level!" Qiu Shuang said sternly. "This beast tide is unusually large; don't worry about wasting resources!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three heavy bell tolls rang out as Chi Mo saw ten centurions leading hundreds of soldiers, simultaneously pouring liquid from buckets into a funnel-shaped object.

It seemed to be the blood of a ferocious beast; she could smell a strong stench of blood.

In addition, inside the city wall, many auxiliary soldiers held beast crystal cores and aimed them at the interlocking marks and nodes, almost outlining a star map inside the city wall.

"Buzz!"

In just one burst, a pale red light membrane erupted from the city wall.

The crimson light flowed along the grooves and marks, giving the entire city wall a metallic sheen.

Crimson flames shot into the sky, rising and burning outside the city walls, instantly forming a moat of fire tens of meters wide.

Countless ferocious beasts, surging forward, were crammed beneath the city walls, scorched by the sudden flames, and erupted in mournful howls and wails.

They kept using their innate supernatural powers, releasing everything indiscriminately in an attempt to escape this hellish place.

But the crimson light membrane standing in the river of flames was like a vertical swamp. Any ferocious beasts near it would be slowed down by the force field it released, as if they were stuck in a quagmire and could not get out.

As the raging flames burned and licked them, their bodies were completely incinerated, their flesh and blood melting and flowing into the crimson light membrane, making its color even more vibrant.

It is also more substantial.

"shoot!"

At Qiu Shuang's command, the massive ballista roared out.

A giant arrow, as thick as an arm and as long as a person, whistled through the air with the power of blood and qi, piercing the beast's head and pinning it to the ground.

These arrows, even thicker than javelins, rained down, rapidly annihilating the beast tide.

The crimson light membrane is very useful, the ballista is very useful, and the city-protecting formation is also very useful.

Almost instantly, the vanguard of the beast tide was intercepted, and seven or eight out of ten of them were wiped out, even turning them into raw materials to maintain the operation of the great formation.

But it’s still the same sentence.

Mechanism-based monsters can't beat numerically-based monsters.

The current beast tide is the most numerically monstrous of all!
The number of enemies and their overall combat strength far exceed the limits that Radiant City can withstand!

In just a few minutes, Chi Mo watched helplessly as more and more powerful ferocious beasts charged at the blood-red barrier, forcibly tearing a gap in it with their own innate divine power to allow the army to pass through.

Countless ferocious beasts followed one after another, using their ranged magical abilities to attack from a distance, constantly consuming the energy needed to maintain the great formation from a safe position.

Until the combination of the city's defensive formation and ballistae could no longer effectively kill the beasts due to their overwhelming numerical superiority, the regrouped beast tide tore open a breach and poured into the interior in an endless stream.

Many powerful, ferocious beasts engulfed in flames, like demons emerging from hell, leaped from the sea of ​​fire and charged straight towards the city walls.

"kill!"

With a roar, the warriors, who had been preparing for a long time, formed ranks and advanced, brandishing their spears in unison.

At this moment, the energy within them completely connected, unleashing a torrent of flowing flames.

The flames seemed to possess a life of their own, transforming into a giant of fire under the collective will of the battle formation, thrusting out a spear made of flames towards the charging beast king.

"Ancestral spirits, unleash your combined battle formation!"

Chi Mo's eyes lit up.

Unexpectedly, the humans here, without Fifth Brother's help, have also developed a combat method suitable for use when united.

Furthermore, it incorporates the method used by their Flaming Tribe to summon the souls of their ancestors.

It shares some similarities, but it is stronger and comes at a lower cost.

It originated from the Lieyan tribe.

Even if their philosophies differ, the traditions they inherit are similar.

Even today, the warriors of Radiant City still bear the traces of the Blazing Flame Warrior in their cultivation path, and are skilled in using flames!

If the city lord and the elite squad mentioned by Sister Qiushuang are also skilled in combined attack formations, they might actually be able to fight against the Beast Emperor with their Battle Emperor cultivation.

With the help of Sister Green Grass's Phoenix True Fire and Brother Red Fire's Ancestral Spear, there is a chance to kill the Beast King!
As Chi Mo thought this, he mobilized his internal energy and blood, ready to defend against any ferocious beasts that might charge at him.

"boom!"

Just then, a deafening roar erupted in the sky, and a dark shadow that blotted out the sun streaked across the heavens.

The air was torn apart by some creature moving at extreme speed, producing a sharp, piercing whistle.

Chi Yan's pupils contracted, and his body trembled instinctively.

It was a magnificent eagle, over a hundred meters long, with a brilliant golden body!
Each of its feathers reflects a metallic sheen, and the tips flicker and burn like flames.

She had already heard the other person's name from the terrified soldiers.

Beast King - Sky-Piercing Golden Eagle!
