HCB Chapter 115: War Beast Tide
Chapter 115: War Beast Tide
Just as Lu Qiu was filled with despair, a giant Garuda King swooped down and was about to land beside him.
Just as Lu Qiu and his team were about to make their move, a crisp sound rang in their ears.
"Night Watch 005 Unyielding Squad, 006 Nightfall Squad, requesting to return!"
Lu Qiu and his group hesitated for a moment, and the next second, Wang Mian and Lin Qiye had already led their respective teams to leap down from Garuda King's back and stop in front of Lu Qiu.
“We’ve encountered swarms of wild animals along this coastline. Quickly notify the nearby passes.”
"Our communication equipment is broken!"
Lu Qiu sighed, and Lin Qiye then looked at Jiang Er, who smiled and nodded.
"Hello, this is my teammate Jiang Er. Could you please take her to the communications equipment area? She can transmit the message."
After Lin Qiye finished speaking politely, he slapped the black box on his back, and two Star Blades appeared in his hand.
"Seven Nights, take Nyx and your teammates to provide support elsewhere! We've already seen along the way that this is the most dangerous place with the fiercest beast tide, so leave it to us!"
Ling Yunxiao gently patted Lin Qiye's shoulder, and after saying this, before Lin Qiye could react, he looked at Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan with a smile.
“Take Old Wu east. There seems to be a big guy over there, and the one who can stop it is most likely the medium. If you hurry, the medium might not have to fight so hard.”
Old Wu, who had been somewhat hesitant, immediately shut up upon hearing about the medium. Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan also remained silent, taking Wu Tongxuan into the air and quickly heading towards the medium team's location.
Seeing Si Xiaonan and the others leave decisively, Lin Qiye knew that now was not the time for sentimental talk. He immediately led his team, waved goodbye to Ling Yunxiao, and left the spot.
"Captain, leave the rest to me! You and Lao Han provide support up here. If anything unexpected happens, Captain, you'll definitely be able to outrun time."
Before Wang Mian and Han Shaoyun could say anything more, Ling Yunxiao had already leaped down from Chenlong Pass.
"Witch Clan Physique"
After writing those four characters in the air, Ling Yunxiao chose Xing Tian without hesitation. In this kind of fierce battle, having a shield and an axe was more suitable.
When Ling Yunxiao landed, his body had transformed into a tall and strong figure, carrying a ghost-head shield and a massive Xing Tian axe in each hand. However, instead of immediately rushing to the front lines, Ling Yunxiao waved his hand towards the sky.
The next second, he skillfully unleashed hundreds of "Kill" spells. Han Shaoyun immediately conjured a gust of wind, and countless crimson lotuses of karmic fire roared towards the winged monsters in mid-air.
"Hiss..."
As the crimson lotus swept through the raging wind, countless burning monster corpses rained down from the void like dumplings being dropped into a pot. The sky instantly cleared, and not a single monster dared to rise into the void again.
Garuda King swallowed hard. In just three years, his master had become so powerful?
Immediately afterwards, Ling Yunxiao gently shook his resolute and handsome head, a slight smile playing on his lips. His eyes, as bright as stars, gleamed with excitement and determination, while his hands steadily weighed the incredibly heavy ghost-head shield and the exceptionally sharp giant axe in their respective hands.
In an instant, he moved like lightning, charging headlong into the surging horde of monsters. The monsters were a diverse array, some as massive as mountains, others as fast as the wind, and still others reeking of a nauseating stench. Yet, at this moment, facing the menacing Ling Yunxiao, this seemingly terrifying beast tide appeared like a herd of helpless lambs to the slaughter.
The beast horde, like all of them, swooped down on Ling Yunxiao, but it was utterly ineffective against him. His giant axe traced sharp arcs through the air, each swing generating a gust of wind, accompanied by the crisp sound of metal clashing and the agonizing howls of the monsters. In his hands, the giant axe was like a peerless divine weapon; wherever it struck, monsters fell to the ground, easily cleaved and split open like harvested corn—a bloody and awe-inspiring scene.
At Shenlong Pass, Lu Qiu and everyone else stared in shock at Ling Yunxiao fighting alone below, while Han Shaoyun's eyes widened in disbelief.
"While I was away, did this kid devour the God of War?"
"For you, three years may have passed, but for us, it's only been a little over a month. We destroyed Sun City and flattened Mount Olympus. So, everyone has made progress, which is normal."
Wang smiled slightly, and the Candle Dragon sword in his hand, which had already been drawn, trembled almost imperceptibly once more.
Ling Yunxiao's ability to attack the monster so smoothly was undoubtedly due to the King's Face constantly activating Time Freeze. However, he didn't make it too obvious, so no one noticed.
"Captain, I want to become stronger."
Han Shaoyun's gaze was unwavering. He had always been the weakest member of the team, a fact that was somewhat difficult for him to accept.
"Don't worry! The Wind God Xiu is imprisoned in the Heavenly Court's dungeon! Your forbidden realm is the Great Wind Disaster, so you should be able to comprehend the Wind God's rules. Once we've dealt with the beast tide and the gods that followed, we'll go to the Heavenly Court together and help you obtain Xiu's divine status."
"Tsk tsk... So from now on, our team will have four gods?"
"No, there are six! Once we get to the Heavenly Court, I will also begin to comprehend the laws of time. Our team, besides you, me, and Nezha, includes six gods."
Wang Mian smiled confidently; he had found his path. Since Zhou Ping could pave the way for humanity, what difficulty was there in simply repeating Zhou Ping's mistakes?
The two men didn't lower their voices when they spoke. Therefore, Lu Qiu and his team were stunned. Everyone knew that the special squads of the Great Xia Night Watch were very strong, but to be this ridiculously powerful was something they had never heard of before.
Keep in mind that the Night's Watch is generally considered to have only five top-tier members. For Squad 005 to have six gods is terrifying.
While everyone was chatting, Ling Yunxiao had already dealt with all the monsters in front of him. The Karmic Fire Red Lotus had ignited a sea of blood-red flames, and Ling Yunxiao rather disdainfully put a few drops of pure essence blood into his pocket.
Garuda King, with great insight, landed happily and took Ling Yunxiao back to Chenlong Pass.
Ling Yunxiao returned to the city wall, looked at the sea of fire below, and then opened the Book of Life and Death.
"Slay 235 monsters and gain 150 million Reincarnation Power."
Using the Witch Clan Physique consumes 200 million Reincarnation Power, while the Killing Technique consumes 10 Reincarnation Power.
Remaining Reincarnation Power: 5470 million points.
Wow, I worked so hard for half a day, killing more than 200 monsters, but in the end I lost 60 Reincarnation Power.
