Chapter 729: Plunder |
"At this moment, the savage tribe is weary. It's the perfect
"At this moment, the savage tribe is weary. It's the perfect time for us to attack. I ask Fellow Daoist Ao to give the command," sighed Elder Gu after mentioning the Demon Suppression Army. He could see that the Demon Suppression Army was barely holding on at this point and that it was indeed the opportune moment for a final assault.
"I ask Fellow Daoist Ao to give the command," another Soul Transformation expert from the Human Clan expressed his intention to support the Demon Suppression Army. After all, they belonged to the same Human Clan, and such elite forces shouldn't be sacrificed in vain.
Ao Yaoxiu had already sensed through his Divine Sense that many cultivators from the Human Clan had been moved by the resilience of this army, showing expressions of admiration, reluctance, or indignation.
Although the Demon Clan currently held sway, the Human Clan, as an ally, couldn't be abandoned just yet.
Thus, Ao Yaoxiu raised his arm and exclaimed, "Attack with all our might!"
With his words, the massive army of the human-demon alliance, which had been waiting behind, surged forward at full speed.
Their strength was not comparable to the cannon fodder from before. The proportion of second-tier Demonic Beasts and Foundation Building Cultivators among them had greatly increased.
These were the elites of the human-demon alliance, but after witnessing the level of the Demon Suppression Army, they no longer dared to call themselves elites.
At the same time, sensing the massive army rushing like a surging tide from the rear, quickly approaching the city wall.
These ten powerful auras approached the city wall at an even faster speed and within moments, they had arrived beneath it.
Each of them then produced a treasure, which swelled in the wind, quickly reaching tens of zhang in size.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, these ten enlarged treasures did not attack the city wall.
Instead, they swiftly descended to the ground outside the city wall, with one end connecting to the top of the city wall and the other end nearing the ground.
It was as if ten tiers of ladders leading to the city wall had been erected. These tiers looked sturdy and spacious enough for dozens of people to rush forward side by side without feeling crowded.
At this moment, the elite forces of the human-demon alliance had just reached the vicinity. They all climbed onto the tiers without hesitation, charging toward the city wall.
Seeing this scene, Wang Hong ordered the second and third-tier warriors to take the opportunity to adjust their status slightly.
He then led over a hundred fourth-tier warriors, also climbing onto the tiers and rushing toward the city wall.
At this point, the city wall had become chaotic, with the savage tribe fighting without any coordination, each for themselves.
They were large in size, with the smallest being ten feet tall. Most of them wielded heavy weapons, and almost every attack would create a spray of blood.
Wang Hong noticed that the weapons they wielded bore many similarities to his own black blade, further confirming his suspicions.
The Iron Tree he planted in the Space should have originated from the savage tribe, but his black blade was evidently of much higher quality.
At this moment, Wang Hong no longer concealed his cultivation level, wielding a black long knife and charging forward.
The over one hundred fourth-tier warriors all held melee weapons, forming a tight formation behind him, helping Wang Hong deal with the savage tribe that fell under his blade.
They tore through the enemy ranks like a tiger among sheep, facing no worthy opponents.
At this moment, a giant, towering at over twenty feet tall, appeared in front of Wang Hong, wielding a thick and long black iron rod.
Swinging the iron rod, it created a powerful gust of wind as it came crashing towards Wang Hong.
Wang Hong quickly swung his blade to meet the attack. With a crisp sound, the black iron rod in the hands of the savage tribe giant was cleaved into two pieces.
The giant from the savage tribe stood there, holding the broken rod in disbelief. Before he could even react, his weapon had snapped in two.
He stared intently at Wang Hong's black blade, his expression filled with astonishment, then began speaking rapidly in a language Wang Hong couldn't understand.
Wang Hong didn't have time to pay attention to the savage's reaction. He swung his blade again, and before the savage could react, he was cleaved in half.
This two-zhang tall savage was only at the fourth-tier level of strength. Under Wang Hong's blade, it took just two strikes to kill him. This was surely something worth boasting about for a lifetime.
Meanwhile, a little further away, the ten Soul Transformation experts from the human-demon alliance had all climbed onto the city wall and were now engaged in battle with six savage tribe fifth-tier warriors.
Although the savage tribe warriors were temporarily holding their ground against six opponents, this area was within the Desolate Spirit Sea, where the strength of both Human Clan and Demon Clan cultivators would be somewhat suppressed.
Furthermore, these six savage tribe warriors were truly formidable, with incredibly tough bodies that could even withstand the magic weapons wielded by Soul Transformation Cultivators.
Seeing this, Wang Hong didn't join the fray. Instead, he led his hundred or so followers in a back-and-forth assault along the city wall.
With the fifth-tier savage tribe warriors already besieged by the ten elders of the human-demon alliance, there was hardly anyone who could stop Wang Hong at this point.
Observing that the human-demon alliance was gaining the upper hand on the city wall, Wang Hong's Divine Sense swept through the city, locating several key locations where many defenders still remained amidst the chaos of the battle.
These places must hold some importance, and he intended to seize the opportunity to plunder them.
Having endured three days and three nights under the city wall before, they deserved to reap some rewards now.
The treasures of the savage tribe might not have any obvious benefits for other cultivators, but they were invaluable to his warriors.
The gray crystal stones they had obtained earlier were particularly beneficial for their cultivation. According to the information he had, these stones originated from the Desolate Spirit Sea.
During previous wars, the human-demon alliance had indeed acquired many gray crystal stones.
With the main forces of the savage tribe concentrated on the city wall, there weren't many defenders within the city itself.
Under Wang Hong's lead, they easily reached a heavily guarded, massive structure.
However, the so-called heavy guard was relative. With over a hundred men charging in, they quickly dispatched the savage tribe guards.
After a brief cleanup, Wang Hong and his group proceeded forward.
The building matched the characteristics of the savage tribe: tall, rugged, with huge savage tribe characters written on the door—none of which Wang Hong recognized.
Hu Jian took the lead and kicked the door open. Inside, they found various kinds of fruits piled up.
These fruits came in all sorts of bizarre shapes, completely different from the spirit fruits of the Little Yuan Realm.
As Wang Hong approached and picked up one fruit covered in sharp thorns, shimmering with a cold light, it exploded before he could examine it closely.
White spikes flew out in all directions, most of them aimed at Wang Hong.
At this moment, Wang Hong's aura surged violently, forming a thick wall of Spiritual Power around him. Simultaneously, a force of attraction emanated from his hand, fixing these exploding white needles in midair.
