Chapter 2217: Humble Endurance, Rising to Fight Back

The heartless voice fell, and the disciples of this man sneered as they prepared to charge at the little girl.

At the same time...

Around the little girl, the elders called Xiaozhong Lake Sect lay in a pool of blood.

They were weak beyond measure as they pleaded, "No, Dabai is just a common Little Demon Beast and cannot assist the human-shaped beast."

The second elder of Xiaozhong Lake quickly spoke...

"Yes, all our other demon beast mounts were voluntarily killed; can’t you spare this Little Demon Beast?"

"It’s just our Little Yuan’s small pet."

Little Yuan, precisely the one hugging Dabai, was the granddaughter of the Xiaozhong Lake Sect Master.

The current situation, in fact, was...

The people of Xiaozhong Lake, forced out of despair, had already voluntarily slaughtered their powerful demon beast mounts, expressing a willingness to submit to the Qianwang Holy Tower.

Yet these defectors wouldn’t let them go, just because they hadn’t voluntarily killed a very weak pet Little Demon Dog, so the defectors cruelly beat them, smashing them into a pool of blood...

And now they even wanted to kill both people and beasts together; these defectors showed no bottom line in their allegiance to the Qianwang Holy Tower.

Clearly, Dabai posed no threat.

And Dabai was Little Yuan’s most beloved pet, and Little Yuan refused to give it up even in death.

She might really die now.

The Qianwang defectors were unmoved by the pleas from Xiaozhong Lake. They sneered, saying, "Dare to resist the Qianwang Holy Tower, and you must die; no matter the age, die without burial...kill!"

As the words fell, a disciple of the defectors hesitated no longer, pouncing at the little girl.

The elders of Xiaozhong Lake widened their eyes in fury and roared repeatedly.

They regretted to the extreme now; they should have resisted sooner...

Previously, it wasn’t that they lacked the ability to resist; lying in a pool of blood now was due to their fear of opposing Qianwang’s might, afraid to act, mistakenly believing that a Little Demon Dog wouldn’t be an issue.

Now they couldn’t stand at all; they could only watch helplessly as the granddaughter of their Sect Master was about to be ruthlessly killed.

And at that moment... roar!

The terrifying might of the Demon Beast swept across suddenly, and everyone heard the voice of Sikong Jingmo Beast, which sent a chill through the bodies of all Xiaozhong Lake people and the attackers.

One by one, they instinctively turned around.

Roar roar roar...

Before they could react, the second whole-city Beast Roar followed, different from the last time...

Previously, because of the Golden Light Tower Formation’s blockade, Sikong Jing’s beastly might remained only as remnants in the Qianwang Holy City, and all demon beasts merely trembled slightly, feeling an irresistible Fierce Beast will summoning them.

Then there was nothing more; the demon beasts made no move.

Instead, Pei Kuang ordered the slaying of beasts across the city.

But this second time, the Demon Beast’s might appeared substantively, making the roars of demon beasts soar skywards.

In their eyes flashed intense fierce light, glaring in the direction of Qianwang Golden Light Tower.

Some demon beasts, like Xiaozhong Lake’s Dabai, were facing terrifying slaughter...

But Sikong Jing’s Beast Roar seemed to awaken the full bloodline within them, driving them to the sky, even Big Demon Beasts leading Little Demon Beasts into a mad dash skywards.

In a blink...

The sky over Qianwang Holy City was densely crowded with demon beasts.

Neither the Beast Slayers nor the masters of demon beasts could control it.

The next moment, Sikong Jing’s Demon Beast voice reappeared with beastly might, saying, "All powerful demon beasts listen to me, rescue all Little Demon Beasts about to be slaughtered, immediately."

Roar roar roar...

One after another, powerful demon beasts roared endlessly, and their Spiritual Shadow Power swept across the city.

At this moment, a powerful demon beast noticed the situation of Xiaozhong Lake people and the little girl, and instantly, it rushed with demon wind to crash into the defectors attacking Xiaozhong Lake.

Wow wow wow...

Every defector screamed and spewed blood as they flew, but that powerful demon beast didn’t kill them.

Instead, it quickly looked at Dabai in the arms of the little girl...

In the next moment... swish.

Dabai suddenly leaped from the girl’s arms and jumped onto the back of that powerful demon beast, then followed it, dashing towards the direction of Qianwang Golden Light Tower.

Dabai was very weak, but it was also a demon beast, summoned by the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The little girl stood dazedly, gazing up as she softly said, "Dabai, be sure to come back alive."

No shouting, no anxious plea.

Because she could feel that this was the will of Dabai, what her Dabai wanted to do.

At the same time, a voice came from behind her, "Little Yuan, we must go."

It was the elder of Xiaozhong Lake, taking advantage of this moment to push up, turning around and fleeing with the little girl...

And what happened in Xiaozhong Lake was not the only occurrence within Qianwang Holy City.

Many similar situations unfolded in various corners, regardless of the condition, the demon beasts’ target was Qianwang Golden Light Building Group; they stormed fiercely with demon wind.

...

Elsewhere, Qu Hanming and others’ eyes sparkled...

"Although it dragged for a whole hour, the Golden Light Tower has indeed been breached."

During this hour, they endured extreme difficulty and even torment; many began to be exposed and hunted; being hunted, they could only fight directly against Qianwang Holy Tower and Qianwang defectors.

Similarly, Qu Hanming and others could only relentlessly rally more Qianwang opponents to protect the demon beasts.

Qu Hanming and others still said... the Golden Light Tower will break, as long as the demon beasts are protected, then Qianwang is bound to be defeated.

Now, those following Qu Hanming from various powerhouse sect members and more have increased to dozens of times their previous number. Though still fewer than Qianwang defectors, they were now fearless.

Which of the opponents hadn’t been oppressed or insulted by Qianwang Holy Tower?

They nearly all had deep hatred against Qianwang Holy Tower; now given this opportunity, they would fight desperately.

The days of humble endurance have passed, now is the time to rise up and counterattack...

However, at this time, someone spoke lowly, "Mountain Master Qu, that white light pillar is clearly Pei Kuang summoning the terrifying Fierce Beast of the One Claw Domain. Can Young Master Sikong and the human-shaped Fierce Beast really win?"

This was the greatest concern among all Qianwang opponents...

The legend of One Claw Domain was deeply rooted, spread for dozens of years, not fearing it was absolutely impossible.

"Definitely can, Young Master Sikong must also have calculated this."

"Moreover, if Young Master Sikong doesn’t see the chance to destroy Qianwang, he will surely lead all of us to leave."

"Young Master Sikong has already arranged the path for escape, no need to worry!"

Qu Hanming spoke truthfully; this was the mission of Changqing Venerable and him.

Fenglei City is the escape route...

Therefore, Qu Hanming had understood long since the start that Sikong Jing was prepared to escape if defeated, and currently even if retreating entirely, it would be a significant victory for Sikong Jing against Qianwang Holy Tower.

After this battle, Qianwang Holy Tower was sure to face a massive decline.
