Chapter 536 Opportunity to Choose
There was not even the slightest chance for him to cry out for help. In fact, he would not cry out for help either. He would just embrace death calmly. It would be even better if he could take away more monsters before he died.
and so……
"Boom!!" A loud bang exploded on the other side of Lin Yang, blasting the gathered monsters into meat scraps, sounding their last song before death.
People keep dying around me, some far away, some right next to me. There's no time to mourn, no time to regret. Someone will avenge them, someone will live on in their place. I face death with equanimity, sounding the clarion call for the continuation of civilization.
Lin Yang understood at this moment.
A surge of hot blood rushed to his limbs and bones, and the trance in front of his eyes suddenly disappeared. The muscles in his hands swelled instantly, and the spirit sword in his hand was held tightly, as if he wanted to embed it in the palm of his hand.
He yelled, "Come on!!!"
He suddenly attacked the monsters that were rushing towards him, forgetting all the fatigue in his body. He had already put death behind his mind, and there was only killing in his eyes. He vowed to kill these hateful monsters.
Keep killing until they are all gone.
The spirit sword in hand swung, no fancy fighting techniques, only simple and deadly attacks. As he swung, he drew talismans. If there was no spiritual energy, he would use blood, his own life force. No matter what, he would give it his all.
People like Lin Yang are not the only ones on the battlefield.
They formed a defense line of flesh and blood. No matter how many opponents there were, as long as he was alive, he would not let these monsters move forward.
The battlefield is cruel, but it can also make a person grow quickly.
As the oldest and most powerful elder in Sishui City, he was pleased to see these young men fighting so bravely. He smiled proudly, his white beard twitching. As long as they were there, Sishui City could not be conquered.
He looked sharply at the big demon standing on the giant beast.
The demon was also looking at the old man who was standing in front of him and overestimating his own abilities. The old man was arrogant, while the demon was calm.
"You can't stop it." The big demon said lightly, as if he was stating an absolute fact.
"How would you know if you don't try? You seem different from the last one, but that's okay. Since you're here, stay!" The old man spoke, his spiritual energy surging, stirring up a storm around him. As the most senior of the three, why was he the most senior? It was because he had lived a long life. In Surabaya City, longevity signified strength; after all, one had survived countless battles.
This is no longer about luck, it's just pure strength.
In response, the beast roared and flapped its wings before charging towards the old man. The old man remained undaunted, pressing his helmet against his head while holding his sword horizontally.
The next moment, it turned into a shadow and disappeared from the spot, heading towards the giant beast.
At that moment, the great demon also moved. It left the giant beast's head, hovering in mid-air, its demonic aura sweeping through it, its golden feathers fluttering. Raising its hand, the fierce wind transformed into chains that slashed through everything.
“Well done!!”
The old man did not retreat but advanced, slashing with the long sword in his hand. Spiritual energy burst out from his body, piling up into huge waves. Every sword seemed to bring about strange phenomena in heaven and earth.
The giant beast exhaled, and the great demon cast a spell.
The sky and the earth are both battlefields, and there is only war, only war.
The unpredictable movements in the sky had no impact on the war on the ground. From the initial few thousand to the tens of thousands, people constantly died and more joined. The entire city of Sishui was operating at full capacity, and this war had only just begun.
Even with everyone's best efforts, they couldn't completely stop the surging beast tide. Ferocious beasts slammed into the barrier, piling up like a mountain of flesh. When the beasts gathered in a cluster, magic blasted holes through them. But in a moment, the gaps were closed. The beasts stepped on the corpses of their companions in an attempt to break through the barrier.
Bites, slaps, and all sorts of fiery venom were constantly eroding the barrier. Everyone knew that this barrier couldn't hold out for long; even if it was constantly being drawn, it couldn't keep up with the monster's attacks.
Everyone is ready for hand-to-hand combat, fully armed and united.
Compared to the ground and city defense battles,
The battle in the sky was even more brutal. The great demon, combined with the giant beast, practically crushed the enemy. If it weren't for the addition of several elders, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold out for long before being defeated.
The beast slapped the old man away with one palm, and his armor shattered instantly. This kind of power...
The elders were horrified. They had originally assumed the main attack would be against the great demon; they had never imagined this behemoth could possess such strength. In fact, even as the old man swung his sword at the beast, he had sensed something was amiss. He had absolute confidence in his sword, yet the blow only left a white mark—a telling sign.
Looking at the miserable appearance of the old man, the big demon patted the giant beast, signaling it to be patient, and then walked leisurely to the old man, not worrying about the old man's sudden attack.
"Although I admire your spirit, you can see that even if you try your best, the end result will be death. Why bother? How about I give you a chance?"
The old man immediately wanted to refute.
However, the big demon stretched out his slender fingers and hissed, "Don't be so hasty to refuse. Look."
The great demon pointed in a direction, the direction of Sishui City. The once intact barrier was now shattered. The elders knew what would happen if it shattered. The entire city would fall to the demonic beast's claws, and casualties would increase exponentially. And these elders, combined, might be able to stop a great demon or a behemoth. If any of them joined the battlefield, it would be a crushing defeat.
I'm afraid that will be the moment when the city is really broken.
"Look again!"
The demon pointed in another direction. There, a figure in red armor was trapped by a horde of demonic beasts. His armor was shattered, and his body was covered in wounds. It was unclear whether it was the demonic beasts' blood or his own. But the longsword in his hand didn't stop. One strike, one strike, and another.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that this man was probably at the end of his strength. His body was withering, his sword swings were slowing, and even his blade was becoming blunt.
The great demon said in a bewitching voice, "That's the genius you've cultivated with all your might, right? Can you bear to see someone like him die in obscurity under the siege of wild beasts? I'm giving you a choice: live, or be buried with the entire city of Sishui."
