Chapter 415: King Bear to the Frontline!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Thrilled cries and ecstatic shouts were all that could be heard as countless people rushed forward with maddened eyes; some of them had used their bodies as weapons, flinging themselves forward with arms wide open.
Two black silhouettes moved at the same time, rushing together with the soldiers who were putting their lives on the line, wait for their chance to strike.
Supreme Cloud’s weapon was destroyed; his combat ability could be greatly discounted. Now there were countless Ziyou soldiers acting as obstacles and Supreme Cloud had not seemed to notice their actions with his back facing them. His focus was on the battle, the opportunity was theirs to claim! They could strike and annihilate him in with a single blow!
The handful of people closest to Yun Yang were merely a hand's breadth away! Everyone had subconsciously held their breath simultaneously.
In a battle that included thousands of people, one would be entangled in a deadly stacking game once the enemy got close. Even when one had the most divine of abilities, one could only anticipate becoming a meat pie when it got to that point.
The people closest to Yun Yang roared and was about to tackle him to the ground, but they suddenly felt their sight turning black as if something odd had appeared…
With a few loud bangs, seven to eight men had knocked themselves against some sort of pillar simultaneously.
Lifting their heads, their eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
What is this? Weren't we fighting Supreme Cloud? Why did my tackle end up at the foot of a massive black bear? At a glance, it had to be at least a hundred feet tall!
The bear’s two feet were like heaven’s pillars. When a handful of experts collided against it, it was like a mantis trying to move a tree – the bear did not even move but the handful of men flew off in a dizzying spiral.
The black bear roared, its paw not unlike a huge tree’s canopy that came slapping downwards.
Bam!
A huge pit appeared on the ground at once, filled with the mush of flesh and blood; there were no visible traces of a human being left behind.
What a tyrannical paw strike!
The black bear did not stop after one successful strike. With another growl, it bolted away to stand in front of Yun Yang.
The gigantic monster’s sudden appearance caused a wave of surprised gasps.
"What is that?"
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
"Where are the Deicide Bow arrows?"
"Shoot! Kill it!"
The Ziyou army’s wish was wonderful, but the truth was cold and cruel. The Deicide Bow archers had not moved since Supreme Cloud was standing in a densely packed area, and they dared not shoot; how could they react in time, struck by panic from the sudden appearance of the black bear?
The black bear knocked everything over without a care, as it moved among the crowd. Yun Yang , who was behind him, actually had no room to do battle.
Flesh and blood splattered wherever the black bear went. Occasionally, waves of people were flung away like snowflakes, with cries shattering the earth.
The black bear that seemed to have appeared out of the blue caused a load of confusion for all the people that were standing around.
What was going on? Where did such a colossus appear from so suddenly?
On a higher section of a tower nearby, a few youths and ladies were watching the scene, trembling where they stood. They were all shocked, their faces pale, but their eyes were wide like they had seen a ghost. They barely blinked even as the scene unfolded.
"This… isn’t this… Elder Yun?" A youth’s teeth were clattering.
"This bear… could it be that adorable cub?" A lady beside him was wholly drained of color.
There was another lady who was hugging an adorable little squirrel in her embrace. She watched the scene unfold with a frozen gaze; it seemed like only her shell remained.
"Elder Yun is Supreme Cloud?"
"Yutang’s Nine Supremes’ Supreme Cloud?"
"How is that possible?"
"This…"
The youths were bewildered but only one thought dominated their minds - they were doomed this time!
It was because of them that this man could slip into Zilong City so smoothly!
Now, it had caused such havoc; even the imperial jade seal and the national treasured siderite had been given away.
Someone had to bear the responsibility for all that had happened.
The emperor would not be the one naturally, so it was only their families who had to be held accountable. Yet, the blame was on them.
Thinking about this, the ladies and young masters felt their visions swimming in a black haze; there was no much to look forward to in life.
The black bear growled savagely.
It continued charging forward with ecstasy running through it. This was its first fight with its master; it had to showcase what it could do and let the stinky snake on its arm know that they were incomparable – they were on different levels!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…
The sky suddenly went dark – countless Deicide arrows blanketed the sky! They poured down like cats and dogs and flew swiftly, aiming themselves at the Niello Bear’s strong body.
It was not that the Deicide Bow archers did not want to aim for Yun Yang, but this monster was too huge a target that they did not even have to take aim. Besides, it was so savage. The archers had reached an unspoken consensus to first wipe this obstacle out before they could take on Supreme Cloud.
They believed that Supreme Cloud who was without manifestation powers and subsequently losing this assistance would be destined to fall here, no matter how strong he was.
Plop, plop, plop…
The indestructible Deicide arrows landed on the Niello Bear without missing, but the sound of the arrows striking their target was different. It was like they had not hit their target at all, and the arrows had bounced off right away; the Deicide arrows that were said to be able to kill even immortals were useless!
The Deicide Bow archers thought they would score a hit. They were immensely confident about their Deicide arrows that even a Tenth Perfection force would have died on the spot after being attacked by such a dense net of arrows. Even if the gigantic bear was a high-level mystical beast, it should be dead from the arrow downpour. Who knew that after a storm of arrows, the black bear had emerged unscathed!
Everyone felt their minds and hearts shattering. Why? How could this be? Could they be in a nightmare?
Honestly, it was not that the Deicide arrows were weak. Exactly like how the archers had judged, if this round of arrow downpour were to target a Tenth Perfection expert, he would be severely injured, if not dead. However, the Niello Bear was Tianxuan Continent’s top-level mystical beast and was known for its defensive abilities. The resilience of its skin and flesh surpassed even that of the beginner heaven realm experts. It was not something that the Deicide Bow could break open!
The monster actually felt a jagged shock of pain when it was shot at. With an angered growl, the Niello Bear’s foot stomped on the ground and a wave of yellow beams spread out rapidly. Wherever the light passed, the earth cracked and soil flew as the building on both sides of the street crumbled into dust.
Instantly, there was only devastation!
Amidst the smog and cries of agony, the Niello Bear charged forward, leading the way while Yun Yang sprinted behind him, not having the chance to strike with the saber in his hand.
Truthfully, Yun Yang did not expect Blackie to be so supportive. He just wanted the Niello Bear to ease the battle and provide some relief. After all, he was alone in facing the enemy, especially the Deicide Bows that had long given Yun Yang a traumatic experience.
By the looks of it now, Blackie was actually fearless about the downpour of Deicide arrows and had overturned the current tide of battle.
Instantly, the sound of a horn being blown could be heard from afar. Other than the majestic resonance, there was an inexplicable sense of solemn sanguinariness.
A low rumbling resounded. The soldiers retreated uniformly, not even leaving behind the corpses. They left only a ground painted with blood that they could not carry away. It showed the skill and efficiency of the Ziyou army.
Yun Yang was emotionless, untinged neither with delight nor grief. His body was like a catkin that followed closely behind the Niello Bear, charging forward constantly.
He knew what was about to come.
Once such a resonant and solemn sound of an army rang out on the battlefield, it signaled the deployment of the enemy’s heavy-armored cavalry!
As Yun Yang had predicted, they were greeted by the sight of a five-hundred men squad as he and Blackie made their way out of the smog. Both men and horses were covered in thick steel armor and helmets; a sense of indestructibility rolled off their armored bodies in waves!
