Chapter 370: Shu Feng’s Arrival
Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Shu Feng’s Arrival
The brutal siege continued for another day, and one hundred thousand Alien Race slave warriors perished outside Liuguang City.
Outside Liuguang City, mountains of bodies piled up, emitting a nauseating stench. Mangled organs were scattered everywhere, creating a scene straight from hell.
"Sir, you must evacuate alone! I’ll have someone disguise themselves as you and hold Liuguang City!"
Sun Liang, his eyes completely bloodshot, came to Fang Long’s side. He deployed a Silence Barrier and said in a low voice,
Outside Liuguang City, the rotting, stinking corpses of the Alien Race slave warriors were everywhere, serving as natural cover for their comrades. With this cover, the slave warriors were even more difficult to deal with.
Even an expert like Sun Liang, a Quasi-Spirit Venerable, had to personally join the fight to pick off the top Divine Archers among the slave warriors.
A resolute look flashed in Fang Long’s eyes. "No, I’m not leaving! I will stay in Liuguang City and live or die with my brothers!"
Sun Liang said anxiously, "Sir, if you leave, we can still entrust our families to your care. But if you die here, then all our brothers will have died in vain!"
Fang Long clapped Sun Liang on the shoulder and laughed heartily. "Don’t worry, Sun Liang! Our Fang Clan always keeps its promises. If you make the ultimate sacrifice, your families will be compensated. The Fang Clan won’t short them a single cent of what they’re due! My mind is made up. Don’t try to persuade me anymore."
Sun Liang sighed softly. "If only the Empire had more commanders like you. If there were more men like you, there’s no way those Void Demons could have breached our lines so easily!"
Once the capitals of the three territories—Star Dragon Territory, Fengmu Territory, and Mujing Territory—were breached, many commanders of the remaining Tier Two and Level Three cities fled at the first sign of trouble, abandoning the cities they were meant to defend.
If those commanders had fought to the death like Fang Long, the three territories would never have fallen so easily.
"In that case, Sir, I’ll go get some rest."
Sun Liang bowed to Fang Long and respectfully withdrew.
’No reinforcements... This is truly a hopeless situation.’
Fang Long gazed at the Alien Race slave warriors relentlessly attacking Liuguang City, a grim look flashing in his eyes. Though he hadn’t personally fought these past few days, the immense pressure was on the verge of crushing him.
"Sir! Sir!! It’s Shu Feng! Shu Feng is here! He’s come to reinforce us!!"
Huo Yunling shouted with excitement, a thrilled expression on her face as she ran over.
"Shu Feng!"
Fang Long froze for a moment. He looked in Huo Yunling’s direction and immediately spotted Shu Feng beside her. A flicker of excitement lit up his eyes, and he strode forward to meet him.
A look of deep gratitude flashed in Fang Long’s eyes. "Shu Feng, thank you! I will never in my life forget this favor of you coming to our aid."
Liuguang Territory was on the brink of collapse; its fall was only a matter of time. The fact that Shu Feng would willingly come to reinforce him naturally moved Fang Long to his core.
Shu Feng rolled his eyes at Fang Long. "You don’t need to thank me. I came for my master!"
If Fang Yao hadn’t been here, Shu Feng would have been reluctant to set foot in a deathtrap like Liuguang City. Of course, while Liuguang City was a deathtrap, to Shu Feng, it was also a rich mine for acquiring a massive amount of Soul Resources.
As long as he slaughtered enough Void Demon Warriors in Liuguang City, Shu Feng’s own power could take another leap forward and grow even stronger.
Fang Long laughed heartily. "Even so, I still have to thank you. From this day forward, we are brothers in life and death. If I make it out of this alive, and you ever need help in the future, just say the word. I would walk through a mountain of knives and a sea of flames for you without the slightest hesitation."
"You foolish disciple! You shouldn’t have come! Get out of here! Wait until you become a Divine Spirit, then you can come back and avenge me!"
Fang Yao stepped out from the side. Looking at Shu Feng, a flicker of emotion flashed in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and spoke harshly.
Shu Feng chuckled. "Master! If I dared to come, it’s because I’m confident I can handle this! Just stand back and watch. By the way, if I save Liuguang City, the Fang Clan better let me pick a few treasures from your Treasure Vault!"
’The Fang Clan is guarded by the Spirit Saint Fang Yichen, filled with countless experts, and has an incredibly deep heritage. They might even have the remains of a Semi-Divine Artifact. If I can get my hands on a few treasures, my power will definitely grow immensely.’
A radiant smile bloomed on Fang Yao’s face. "Fine! As long as we survive today, I’ll make sure you get to pick a few treasures from our Fang Clan’s Treasure Vault, even if I have to get on my knees and beg the Old Ancestor."
With a flicker, Shu Feng appeared atop the walls of Liuguang City. He waved his hand, and dense swarms of Spiritual Spear Beasts were continuously created.
The Spiritual Spear Beasts raced along the walls of Liuguang City, one after another, quickly reaching their designated positions.
"Open fire!"
At Shu Feng’s command, ten thousand Spiritual Spear Beasts immediately moved to the various firing ports and began frantically unleashing beams of energy.
The dense volley of energy beams slammed into the slave warriors below, instantly blasting several thousand of them to pieces.
After the first volley of light, another immediately rained down from the city walls, slaughtering several thousand more slave warriors.
"Take cover!! Take cover!!"
A lion-headed Great Spirit Master from the Beastman Lion Clan roared, diving toward a pile of corpses for cover.
A cyan beam of light struck the Beastman Lion Clan’s Great Spirit Master, blowing his head to smithereens.
"No!!"
"Help!!"
"..."
Seeing countless of their comrades die, the slave warriors’ courage finally broke. Their morale collapsed, and they began to flee to the rear.
The reason the nearly two-million-strong slave warrior corps had been unable to take the city was that their morale would shatter and they would scatter every time their casualties reached a certain point.
The dense rain of light continued to press forward, blasting the fleeing slave warriors apart one by one.
A look of excitement flashed through Fang Long’s eyes. ’So powerful! Shu Feng’s Summoned Beasts are just too powerful! Their marksmanship is probably on par with the top experts of the [Steel Fang]!’
The [Steel Fang] was the ace corps of the Qianyuan Republic, and every one of its warriors was a Divine Archer of the Great Spirit Master Level. Compared to the Divine Archers of the [Steel Fang], the Fang Clan’s elites in Liuguang City were nothing.
「In the distant Void Demon Palace.」
A mocking glint flashed in Duke Americk’s eyes. "So, Shu Feng has arrived! What a fool! He’s just courting death!"
Duke Stutera chuckled. "Impressive! The marksmanship of his Summoned Beasts rivals that of the experts in the [Steel Fang]. Truly remarkable! But the more remarkable he is, the more certain his death becomes. Grand Duke Ponce has given the order: kill him at all costs. Whoever lands the final blow will be awarded a first-class merit."
