Chapter 1213: The Battle’s End (2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
At this moment, the entire battlefield fell into a brief silence. The injured Yuanjing Xilong and Black Wolf Bird King, encircling Jiang Chengxuan from both sides, did not dare to advance. They only shot him vicious glares.
“Boom! Boom!”
Meanwhile, on the other battlefield, the Extreme Wind Thunder Bear and the Twin Peaks City Lord had reached the climax of their battle. Their powers continuously erupted in the void, causing waves of destruction. The Extreme Wind Thunder Bear’s massive beast form had completely transformed into lightning, roaring and burning everything like a thunder-wrapped celestial mountain.
At the same time, the Twin Peaks City Lord also unleashed his full strength. In addition to the pair of celestial hammers, two more celestial treasures appeared around him—one a small round mirror and the other an ancient, weathered pagoda.
The mirror, a defensive celestial treasure, continuously reflected and neutralized the lightning attacks from the Extreme Wind Thunder Bear. The pagoda, an auxiliary celestial treasure, worked in tandem with the City Lord’s suppression Dao power, constantly suppressing the Extreme Wind Thunder Bear, hindering its ability to fully unleash its storm power.
Thus, the battle favored the Twin Peaks City Lord. His cultivation was at the peak of the Ascendant realm, combined with the city’s profound heritage, making this result not surprising.
“Damn it! Yuanjing Xilong! Black Wolf Bird King! You two fools!”
“If you don’t take down that cultivator, you will be the ones to blame for the army’s defeat!!”
In his predicament, seeing Jiang Chengxuan still standing tall and even gaining the upper hand, the Extreme Wind Thunder Bear couldn’t bear it anymore and roared in anger.
This roar echoed in the ears of Yuanjing Xilong and the Black Wolf Bird King, making their faces turn ashen and extremely grim. They wanted to retort angrily, but with the Extreme Wind Thunder Bear as the strongest and appointed leader of the beast army, they could only swallow their rage and direct their fury towards Jiang Chengxuan.
“Damn you, brat! You will die today!”
“Attack!—”
In their roars, terrifying power surged once again. This time, the two beast leaders attacked almost simultaneously. The Black Wolf Bird King transformed into a streak of black lightning, descending from the sky, while Yuanjing Xilong, with its crystalline scales radiating, burrowed into the ground to attack from below, trapping Jiang Chengxuan in a pincer attack.
“Boom! Boom!”
With the ground splitting apart, Yuanjing Xilong’s massive form burst out, perfectly coordinating with the lightning from the Black Wolf Bird King above, closing in instantly. The huge, menacing jaws gaped like an abyss, ready to swallow Jiang Chengxuan, while the swift, dark claws tore through the void, ripping the sky apart.
At this stage of the battle, there was no room for holding back. Each strike was made with full force. The terrifying killing intent solidified, flooding in like a tide.
Jiang Chengxuan’s expression grew solemn. He activated the power of the three Dao laws to their limits, utilizing the Spatial True Understanding to meet the assaults of Yuanjing Xilong and the Black Wolf Bird King head-on.
In an instant, the figures of one man and two beasts were completely entangled, their silhouettes indistinguishable amidst the chaotic remnants, with terrifying power continuously exploding, shaking the heavens and earth.
Even as Yuanjing Xilong’s crystals shattered and scattered into the void, and the Black Wolf Bird King’s feathers were severed, drifting and splattering, neither of the beast leaders retreated. They bore their injuries, intent on killing Jiang Chengxuan with brutal determination.
This battle entered its most savage phase. Stimulated by the great powers’ ferocious fight, the broader battlefield also turned into a meat grinder, with the fighting growing fiercer. Giant beast silhouettes roared and fell, crashing onto the barrier. Human cultivators were torn apart by the beasts, swallowed on the spot.
The second layer of the Twin Peaks City’s barrier continually released power, maintaining the gradually dimming protective screen.
Eventually, after an indeterminate time, this most brutal wave of the siege slowly began to wane. At this point, beast corpses littered the walls, evidence of the bloodshed and intensity of this battle.
Meanwhile, in the battle of the Ascendant realm, the struggle between Jiang Chengxuan and the Twin Peaks City Lord against the beast leaders was also drawing to a close. The figures of the two men were weary, their clothes tattered, the brilliance of their armor dimmed. One of the Twin Peaks City Lord’s celestial treasures had even been shattered by the Extreme Wind Thunder Bear.
But opposite them, the beasts fared worse. The Extreme Wind Thunder Bear, having received no support, was consistently suppressed by the City Lord. Its massive body was covered in strange beast blood, with hideous wounds and charred patches all over. Even its perpetual storm showed signs of subsiding, indicating its exhaustion.
Yuanjing Xilong’s crystalline scales were shattered, leaving only a thin, cracked layer. The Black Wolf Bird King, missing a layer of feathers, appeared shrunken and no longer imposing, its body riddled with wounds from Jiang Chengxuan’s attacks.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, as the exhausted Jiang Chengxuan and the Twin Peaks City Lord stood side by side, coldly eyeing the beast leaders.
Their gazes met in the ravaged battlefield, emotions of anger and murderous intent intertwining.
“Roar—!”
Finally, with a mighty roar from the Extreme Wind Thunder Bear, the battle came to an end. Hearing its howl, the beast army began to retreat in response, their massive, bloodied bodies resembling crimson mountains. In the exhausted eyes of the Twin Peaks City’s defenders, the beasts retreated like a receding tide.
Jiang Chengxuan and the Twin Peaks City Lord refrained from pursuing. Although the three great beast leaders were heavily injured, they were not defenseless. The priority was to defend the city, and chasing a defeated enemy without knowing their full strength was too risky.
“We won! We held the city!”
“The beast army is retreating! The beast army is retreating!”
“Long live the City Lord! Long live Immortal Jiang!”
The defenders, their blood-stained faces twisted with relief and joy, cheered wildly for the City Lord and Jiang Chengxuan.@@novelbin@@
“Roar—! Roar!”
As the Extreme Wind Thunder Bear led the retreating Yuanjing Xilong and Black Wolf Bird King, the Twin Peaks City Lord and Jiang Chengxuan exchanged glances, smiling with relief. This victory would likely bring a long period of peace to the warzone. With proper planning, this beast uprising might even be completely quelled.
