Chapter 399 Contributions From The Magic Tools

Horrific roars were continuously heard as countless ferocious beasts stormed toward the city’s main gate.

Everyone at the top of the walls furrowed their eyebrows after seeing the wild beasts, and they knew things were going to be far from good.

Based on the previous attack, they knew nothing much would happen even if great-ancestor-level half-spirit beasts were to charge into the towering walls, let alone the ferocious beasts. This was because not every half-spirit beast could jump that high.

As long as the beasts were below, they were almost not a threat to the Humans.

Having said that, if the people could figure this out, how could the spirit beast, who was commanding the beast herd, be clueless?

Knowing that the ferocious beasts would only be courting their deaths by swarming toward the walls, why did the spirit beast not stop them?

Li Xinfan frowned and shouted abruptly, “Ask the men on the other walls if the ferocious beasts have broken through!”

The general was informed about the responses from the other walls after a brief moment. People from the other walls were already in position, but there were only movements at the main gate. At one glance, it seemed like endless ferocious beasts were determined to take down the Humans’ prefecture to eliminate the race.

“Since the ferocious beasts are only attacking one gate, there can only be one explanation,” Li Xinfan noted with bright eyes, “There aren’t many ways they can break the walls, so perhaps... They have another Earthly Dragon Beast!”

The Humans’ city was almost an unsolvable problem for the beast herd.

Nonetheless, if the beasts had a powerful creature similar to an Earthly Dragon Beast, they could flood the city once the walls were crushed.

Everyone else shuddered with fear, and they subconsciously looked at Ou Yangming.

When three Earthly Dragon Beasts previously appeared at the same time, perhaps the prefecture would have been drowned by the beasts if Ou Yangming had not performed his Simulated Spiritual Fist. If another dragon beast were to show up again, could they stop it without his help?

“My dear comrades, it’s our mission to protect the Humans, so we mustn’t rely on one person!” Elder Universe yelled all of a sudden and raised his longsword, which shone in a frightening cold light. “Master Ou has smithed magic skill tools and defense armors for us. If we still ask him to help, we might as well slit our throats!”

The other people came back to their senses. They looked away and fixed their gaze on the beasts outside the prefecture.

Those who became Supreme Great Ancestors were proud men. Although they admitted that they could not be on par with a freak like Ou Yangming, given that they had become so well-equipped, they would be extremely embarrassed if they still needed his help against an Earthly Dragon Beast. As the beasts approached the city, they crashed hard into the wall, but the impact was insignificant.

Nevertheless, there were some agile creatures among the beasts. After jumping a few times, they had indeed gotten onto the top of the wall through leveraged forces.

The beasts who succeeded were powerful half-spirit beasts.

Even so, the Humans were prepared for this as many powerhouses on the walls were ready to attack. Other than Supreme Great Ancestors, there were also plenty of Yang Grade powerhouses, who formed small combat teams of three and stood in arrays. They immediately attacked whenever a half-spirit beast leaped up to the top of the walls. They knew the beasts were likely great ancestors, but none of them were hesitant to attack.

Though the joint attack of three Yang Grade powerhouses could not defeat a great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast, it was more than enough to hold it back for some time.

Following that, the Supreme Great Ancestors, who were the ones at the top of the pyramid among the Humans, made their moves.

Over 100 Supreme Great Ancestors assembled in the prefecture, but Li Xinfan could not gather all of them in one spot. Furthermore, at last half of them were asked to rest so that the Humans’ overall combat power could be maintained.

Therefore, there were only about 10 great ancestors at the top of the main wall.

Despite that, Li Xinfan felt like it was a luxury.

He had led the military for years but this was his first time commanding so many Supreme Great Ancestors at the same time. Even the imperial family’s supreme elder had not experienced this when he faced the previous disaster.

“Boom...”

He Xinfang flashed and arrived beside a half-spirit ape like a ghost.

The ape was almost twice as tall as a person, and its strong build allowed him to get to the top of the wall without effort. It killed over ten ordinary soldiers or threw them off the wall in the blink of an eye.

Given that ferocious beasts were crowding outside the prefecture, one could imagine the consequence of falling off the wall.

Even though a few Yang Grade powerhouses hurried over, the ape suppressed them and beat them up almost in an instant.

The half-spirit beast was not as mighty as the big yellow dog, but it could not be underestimated at all.

It seemed to be stunned when it noticed He Xinfang’s speed, but it was soon indifferent toward him. The ape stopped and jumped as well, and it seemed to be faster than the great ancestor.

This was a half-spirit beast, whose pure physical power could not be resisted by humans.

That said, He Xinfang bellowed at that moment. Streams of luster were seen coming from his boots.

He accelerated unbelievably and became faster than the ape. Just as the ape blinked in confusion as it could not understand what exactly was going on, a sword-light was seen slashing down at it. The beast bared its teeth and tilted its head a little because it was not bothered. At the same time, it swung its fist at He Xinfang’s chest.

This proved that half-spirit beasts were intelligent; they knew humans would not fight recklessly with sheer force.

Even so, He Xinfang gritted his teeth and roared again instead of retreating.

The longsword in his hand and the armor in front of his chest lit up almost concurrently.

As the sword-light flashed, a lightning-like light struck the ape’s body, whereas the ape’s arm hit a yellow light.

“Thud!” A deafening sound was heard, then the ape’s arm sprung up into the air. On the other hand, He Xinfang’s body only shook a bit, and he found his footing in no time.

That was not all that happened to the ape because the intense sword-light slashed down all of a sudden, causing it to freeze right away. The unbelievably sharp longsword left a long cut on its body.

Consequently, there was a rain of blood in front of the ape’s body. Under the magic tool’s might, its body was almost split into two.

The ape roared furiously and turned around at once. It endured the pain on its body and was about to jump off the wall to flee.

Who knew, another bolt of lightning appeared behind it. It was a long arrow, whose arrow-light was like snow.

The arrow seemed unobstructed at all as it penetrated the ape’s throat. Subsequently, it exploded and blew up the fearsome half-spirit beast. On the city gate tower, Fang Zhaoyang wore a pair of goggles and held a divine bow as he stood proudly.

His bow and arrows had become formidable magic tools after Ou Yangming revamped it.

An ultimate kill was only possible with this remarkable bow and arrow combination.

It was worth noting that the battle against the ape was only a small scene of what was going on. As more half-spirit beasts jumped to the top, Supreme Great Ancestors risked their lives and fought.

After a brief moment, intense fights broke out in many areas on the wall.

Li Xinfan watched coldly on the high tower as fearless soldiers charged at the half-spirit beasts but were easily torn apart. He saw Supreme Great Ancestors kill those beasts as they relied on their magic skill tools and magic armors while the Yang Grade powerhouses assisted them.

On the battlefield, scenes that made one’s blood boil appeared again and again, but Li Xinfan neither looked nor felt perturbed.

Even when his soldiers whom he had trained on his own were severely wounded, he was unaffected.

He scanned the battlefield and searched for something among the beast herd.

The beasts were surely not attacking without an aim; there had to be a follow-up. However, Li Xinfan had not picked up anything yet. For some reason, the general began to break out in a cold sweat.

He had a vivid feeling that the city could not be guarded anymore if the reason behind the beasts’ violent attacks was not found.

Ou Yangming stood in the mysterious tower as he overlooked the war. The Military Fire burned in his hand as a distinguished magic tool was born.

He promised Li Xinfan that he would not leave the tower to fight and like what the general asked, he also smithed a piece of equipment to increase the Humans’ chance of victory.

Nonetheless, deep down there was something he could not let go of.

The peculiar yet evil aura disappeared after it appeared once, but Ou Yangming did not believe that its owner had left. Perhaps it went to hide in an unknown place after it curbed its aura and was waiting for a specific timing to act again.

Similarly, Ou Yangming was quietly waiting for it.

Despite that, akin to how Li Xinfan could not find the reason behind this beast tide, Ou Yangming could not sense the aura anymore.

“Boom...”

At the spur of the moment, an earth-shattering sound was heard coming from behind. It sounded like an earthquake, so much so that even the walls shook.
