Chapter 426 - 307: Four-Way Melee (8)

A chilling aura of death permeated the battlefield. Tang Ruan’s eyes widened as she unleashed a Thrust with all her might.

BANG!

A Tier Three Legion Soldier was impaled, spewing fresh blood from his mouth before dropping dead, but Tang Ruan’s momentum was completely halted.

"Damn it, I’ll take her!" another Tier Three Legion Soldier cursed, stepping up to fill the gap and block Tang Ruan.

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!

Fifteen massive Female Spear Soldiers fiercely thrust their Long Spears. The Shields of fifteen Tier Three Legion Soldiers suffered Piercing, blood gushing from their arms.

"Fall back and take your Potions! Leave the front to us!" Their teammates in the rear immediately stepped up to fill the gaps, keeping the formation perfectly stable.

THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD!

The Piercing strikes of thirty-five Female Spear Soldiers slammed into the Shields, but the Tier Three Legion Soldiers merely frowned. "Damn it, how can such skinny arms pack so much Power? It’s our turn—counterattack!"

The Female Spear Soldiers quickly raised their Shields for Defense. The Tang Ruan Team had a decent Attack, but their primary roles were Defense and breaking enemy lines to block Damage for their teammates. However, against these Tier Three Legion Soldiers who also specialized in Defense, their Attack proved insufficient and their Attack Speed too slow. The enemies were constantly sustaining injuries and dying, but Soldiers from the rear immediately stepped forward to support them. Their Combat Will was evidently robust; they truly lived up to their reputation as Xiao Ning’s trump card Soldiers. Moreover, several vassal Heroes within the formation continuously provided Treatment and Defense Enhancement. This not only fortified the Tier Three Legion Soldiers’ Defense but also allowed for continuous Life Recovery. For a moment, Tang Ruan was unable to break through the enemy’s tight Defensive Array.

Qi Yue had already charged in. From fifteen meters away, bright Moon Blades had already materialized. The ambient light was dim, but the crescent moons radiated a pristine white glow that illuminated the surroundings. Bathed in this clear light, the gorgeous Qi Yue looked excessively bewitching, resembling a ghost bride.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

The Legion Soldiers had naturally spotted Qi Yue’s figure long ago. As the Light Blades flew toward them, they braced themselves as if facing a formidable foe.

"Everyone, focus on your Defense!"

"Those Light Blades are strong, don’t let your guard down!"

"Use your entire Body to brace your Shield, and bend your knees slightly."

"Don’t let them land an Accuracy hit directly on your Body! Tuck your heads completely behind your Shields."

"Here they come! Hold the line!"

CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG!

CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG!

Iron slag flew everywhere, and iron shards scattered. The ground was littered with shattered Shield fragments. The twelve Legion Soldiers at the very front were mangled beyond recognition; they collapsed stiffly, their breath gone. Beside them, seven others were severely wounded, and eighteen were lightly injured. However, they quickly consumed Potions and were bathed in the glow of Treatment, causing their wounds to rapidly recover.

Qi Yue’s Moon Slash had been blocked. Their Defense was indeed very strong. It wasn’t just their Body and Equipment; their Loyalty and Morale were evidently quite high as well. Xiao Ning truly had her formidable points.

Qi Yue narrowed her eyes and swallowed a Spiritual Power Pill. Blocking the Moon Blades was nothing; after all, in order to maximize quantity, these Moon Blades had all been unleashed in a Continuous Dance State, reducing their Damage by half. She thought, "Then I’ll just hack them at close range next!" Activating one point of Energy, she charged forward.

Gu Qing had already rushed to the front of Xiao Ning’s formation. Zhao Chi controlled her to roar, "Only the last 170-plus Tier Three enemy troops are left! Take out all your Javelins and throw them all!"

The Female Soldiers of the Zhao Chi Army each carried Equipment consisting of five Iron Javelins, but there simply hadn’t been an opportunity to throw them until now. The Tang Ruan Team had braved the enemy’s Bursting Arrows and had to engage quickly, leaving them no Time to throw. The Qi Yue Team didn’t need to use Javelins because Qi Yue’s barrage of Moon Blades had instantly thrown the enemy into chaos. As for the Gu Qing Team, they had followed up behind the enemy and could just hack them down directly, so there was even less need for Javelins. But now, the enemy was standing their ground defensively, refusing to move. This was the perfect opportunity.

In an instant, the sky was filled with Iron Javelins hurled from all directions.

The Defense awareness of those Tier Three Legion Soldiers was extremely strong.

"Brothers, watch out above! Raise your Shields and protect Madam!"

"Understood! Let’s rotate the flanks; these women are too strong."

"Hurry up and take your Potions! Replenish your health and Physical Strength."

"Hold on, we’ll win soon."

"It’s fine, they’re just Javelins. We can block them."

"Javelins incoming, watch out!"

CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG!

Ear-piercing impacts echoed everywhere. These Javelins indeed didn’t inflict massive casualties, but their Shields were clearly showing cracks, and their Durability had sharply decreased. That was enough.

"Enough!!" Xiao Ning bellowed.

Suddenly, a deafening wolf howl rang out.

"AWOOO——!!!"

The howl tore from Xiao Ning’s throat as her face became covered in fine fuzz, which rapidly thickened into dense black fur. Her jaw elongated, and fangs jutted out from her lips. Her pupils turned a murky yellow, and her eyes became bloodshot with red veins. Immediately after, Xiao Ning’s entire Body began to swell. However, this expansion clearly couldn’t cause her Equipment to grow along with her, leaving her Body tightly bound by her full set of Iron Armor. Fortunately, she didn’t grow too much, expanding from her original 1.6-plus meters to around 1.8 meters. Every piece of Equipment was no longer a fit, straining uncomfortably against her frame. At the joints of her Equipment, where her skin should have been exposed, dark brown wolf fur poked through instead.

Xiao Ning now possessed the head and Body of a wolf. Had she transformed into a Werewolf?

Zhao Chi also witnessed this situation. He couldn’t help but recall the time Lang Hu transformed into a tiger man, but Lang Hu’s transformation had been extremely swift, and it certainly hadn’t triggered this kind of celestial phenomenon... He looked up; the sun was already gone... No, the sun was still there, but it was now as dim as a moon.

Xiao Ning seemed to be drained of Physical Strength, yet her expression grew even more ferocious. Her wolf maw gaped wide as she continuously roared.

"Damn it! Damn it!! Damn it AHHHHH!!!

"My fucking evolution isn’t complete yet AHHHH!!

"All of you will be buried with me! Buried with me! All of you will die! Die, die, die, die!!!

"Iwagaki, get your fucking ass over here!!"
