After an hour, more than a hundred fourth rank magical beasts had been completely beheaded. Among them, ninety-nine percent of them were all killed by Jianchen alone. Following the death of the fourth rank magical beasts, those Great Saint Masters had also been freed up one after another to deal with the remaining low rank magical beasts, causing the pressure on everyone to be greatly reduced.
And Jianchen also didn't stop to rest. Now that the third rank magical beasts had become his target, he had already separated himself from the large group and arrived at the place where the magical beasts were densely gathered to begin a massacre. The surrounding sea of magical beasts had completely concealed his figure.
Jianchen unceasingly brandished his sword in the midst of the magical beasts, thrusting his sword. That extremely fast speed and the various movements he made from time to time made it seem as if he was dancing in the midst of the magical beasts. Everywhere he passed, only corpses were left behind. All of the magical beasts were practically killed in one strike. These magical beasts with the strongest strength were only at the third rank. They simply didn't pose the slightest threat to Jianchen. It was as if he had a pair of eyes on the back of his head. No matter how many magical beasts were sneak attacking him from behind, he would always be able to dodge in time. Even if he was surrounded, he still wasn't afraid. Like a god of death, he unceasingly slaughtered his way out.
Facing Jianchen, who was like the incarnation of a god of death, these magical beasts not only didn't have the slightest fear, the smell of blood that soared into the sky instead made them even more crazy. One by one, they rushed towards Jianchen without any regard for their lives. Those roars that were enough to shatter people's eardrums unceasingly reverberated in the boundless horizon.
"Roar!"
Just at this time, a heaven shaking roar transmitted from the distant forest. That billowing sound wave shook the ground a few times. And after hearing this roar, the magical beasts on the city wall all revealed a terrified expression in their eyes. They stood there shivering, letting the mercenaries' weapons cut their bodies, but they didn't give a counterattack. One by one, it was as if they were suddenly scared silly.
Jianchen stopped slaughtering the magical beasts. He sheathed his sword and pointed it at the ground. Drops of crimson blood dripped from the tip of the sword and dripped to the ground.
Jianchen didn't pay any attention to the trembling magical beasts around him. Instead, he stared in the direction of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts with an incomparably solemn expression. Just from the sound alone, he already knew in his heart how powerful that magical beast of the fifth rank hiding within the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts was. Perhaps it was as powerful as Katata had said. It was so powerful that even if both of them worked together, they could barely hold it back.
The forest in the distance began to tremble slightly, and a five meter tall magic beast walked out of the forest. It was a magic beast that looked very similar to an ape, but the only difference was that it didn't have any hair on its body. Its body was covered with a layer of small green scales, like snake scales. Under the illumination of the sun, the scales shone with a green light, dazzling the eyes.
"Roar!"
The ape slowly walked out of the lush forest in the distance and let out a furious roar towards the sky. The sound shook the heavens, and the rolling sound waves dispersed quite a bit of the clouds in the sky. When the loud sound reached the ears of the group of mercenaries, their eardrums began to buzz.
The magical beasts that were fighting fiercely with the mercenaries began to tremble even more violently. One by one, they suddenly turned around and crawled towards the ape, completely ignoring the mercenaries.
"It's actually a Scaled Green Devil Ape. It's said to be extremely strong. Moreover, the layer of green scales on its body also has a very strong defense. Even an Earth Saint Master would have a hard time breaking through it." Staring at the ape in front of him, Jianchen muttered with a solemn expression. He could feel an extremely great pressure from the ape.
Standing on the wall, Katata's expression also became serious. He said in a low voice, "I didn't think that it would actually be a Scaled Green Devil Ape. The Scaled Green Devil Ape's defense is extremely strong. In addition to that, it's at least a Fourth Cycle Earth Saint Master. It's very difficult to deal with."
"Difficult to deal with!" Standing beside Katata, the taciturn Katafei also said with a serious expression. Ever since coming to Wake City, this was the first time his expression had changed.
At this moment, from the forest in the distance, another three figures slowly walked out. They silently stood behind the Scaled Green Devil Ape.
These two figures turned out to be two gigantic Magic Beasts. One of them was a giant tiger that was two meters tall and five meters long with golden fur all over its body. Beside this giant tiger was a magic beast that was more than ten meters tall and half the height of a human. This magic beast looked like a crocodile. The ink-black leather armor on the crocodile looked very hard. Under the sunlight, it shone with a cold black light. Seven black bone spurs that were about two meters long and shone with a biting cold light were inserted on its back. It looked like this crocodile added a sense of majesty to it.
Seeing the two magical beasts silently standing behind the Scaled Green Devil Ape, Katata's face immediately paled. His face was filled with disbelief as he involuntarily said, "A Golden Maned Tiger King and a Sabertooth Crocodile. This … this … there are actually three Class 5 Magical Beasts."
Katafei's cold face also faintly paled. The three Class 5 Magical Beasts in front of him made him feel a bit of fear. Not to mention the Scaled Green Devil Ape, just the Golden Maned Tiger King and the Sabertooth Crocodile that had appeared behind them were extremely difficult to deal with. Now that all three of them had attacked at the same time …
Katata took a deep breath. At this moment, he felt his hands and feet turn cold. Without any hesitation, he immediately shouted to City Lord Yun Li beside him, "Quick, immediately notify the citizens of Wake City and have them evacuate as soon as possible. Wake City cannot be saved."
"Yes … yes … I'll do it right away." City Lord Yun Li's face was also as white as paper. Three Class 5 Magical Beasts were not something that Wake City could defend against. Even the Intermediate Magic Crystal Cannons would not be able to pose a threat to them. Unless Wake City had at least five more Earth Saint Masters, however, the chances of that happening were extremely slim.
"What should we do now?" The usually quiet Katafei finally opened his mouth and asked.
"Right now, we can only do our best to delay them and buy time for the citizens of Wake City to evacuate. Although we cannot win, we can at least delay them for a while. If possible, it would be best if we could lure the three Magical Beasts away. However, the two of us must be extremely careful and try not to get injured. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape the pursuit of these Class 5 Magical Beasts." Katafei said in a heavy tone.
Katafei nodded slightly, but did not say anything.
Standing in the middle of the Magical Beasts, Jianchen naturally noticed the two Magical Beasts that had just appeared. However, his eyes were fixated on the Golden Furred Tiger King. In his mind, it was as if he was watching a movie, constantly replaying scenes from the past.
Once, it was this Golden Furred Tiger King that had chased him and the other members of the Flame Mercenary Group away …
Once, it was this Golden Furred Tiger King that had left him alone in the Flame Mercenary Group …
Once, it was this Golden Furred Tiger King that had killed Uncle Kendall and the other brothers of the Flame Mercenary Group …
Kendall who cared about him the most, Hu Po who had a straightforward personality, and Xiao Dao who was cheerful and passionate …
The faces of the former members of the Flame Mercenary Group were like paintings that replayed in Jianchen's mind. Originally, they were like a happy family of adventurers, but because of the Golden Furred Tiger King's arrival, everything had changed.
Today, although the Flame Mercenary Group still existed, the people had already changed.
The past events could only form an unchangeable and inflexible painting that was deeply buried in the depths of his memories. Those brothers who had long since passed away would never return. Those familiar souls had already dissipated into the boundless world, leaving behind only a deep and sorrowful memory.
