Obviously, the Iron City did not have a horrifying martial genius like Xuanhou, and could not fight against the rank 7 Horn Dragon Snake with her Late Clasping Yuan Realm power. When the Horn Dragon Snake shot out the second pitch-black light column, some Clasping Yuan Realm warriors had finally escaped. For them, it was only a matter of time before the Iron City was destroyed. If they did not leave now, it would be hard for them to leave later, since they only had one life.
Boom!
Another pitch-black beam of light pierced through the void and landed on the huge city gate of Iron City. In the next moment, the one-meter-thick city gate made of steel melted into ashes. The pitch-black beam of light didn't stop there. It went straight through the ground, all the way to the city lord's mansion in the center. The mansion was split in half, and everything within ten meters of that line disappeared instantly. Not a single thing was left.
"The mayor is dead! Everyone, run!"
"What? The mayor is dead? What is the point of defending?"
"Wait a bit longer. Maybe some Astral Reaching Realm warriors will come."
"The beast wave is not only around the Iron City. Other cities are also facing beast waves, and I am afraid there will not be any Astral Reaching Realm warriors to help."
The beast wave had not even reached the city yet, but the people in the Iron City had already lost hope.
"We can't defend anymore. Let's run!" Right next to Ye Chen, Tian Hao and the rest forced a smile.
Ye Chen nodded, "Since it has already happened, staying would be suicide." In the Yellow Mountain Town, because there were no rank 7 beasts, they could still try their best to protect more people. But right now, who could they protect if they stayed? In front of rank 7 beasts, Clasping Yuan Realm warriors would only be ants, unless there were enough of them to kill an elephant.
The sky darkened, and a pitch-black light column suddenly shot out towards Ye Chen's direction.
"Watch out!"
Ye Chen's body flashed, leaving a zhen Qi shadow where he was standing. Tian Hao and the lady's reactions were just below Ye Chen's. They pushed their flying art to its limit, moving towards the right side at a high speed.
Swoosh!
The other Clasping Yuan Realm warriors did not manage to react in time before they were devoured by the black light column along with the city wall.
Tian Hao's face was pale. He had reacted fast enough, but it was not fast enough. At that critical moment, Ye Chen had pushed him, allowing him to avoid the attack range of the black light column.
Looking at the edge of the city wall that had been melted, Tian Hao was still scared. He turned his head and said to Ye Chen with gratitude, "I owe you a life. I will pay you back someday."
Ye Chen did not say anything. He seemed to have sensed something, so he turned his head and looked towards the sky.
"Ye Chen" Ye Chen said nothing.
"Astral Reaching Realm warriors are coming!"
Ye Chen let out a breath.
In the sky, the sky, Realm, Chen Clan Clan King, and the Black Clan Ye have City Emperor, and Ye Clan have Realm warriors.
"King Dragon King with Clan" Chen Realm "Dragon"
The speed of the flame was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it was still thousands of meters away. In the blink of an eye, the figure in the flame was already clearly visible. It was like a huge fireball shooting over.
Seeing that, Tian Hao activated his zhen Qi and said with a loud voice, "Don't despair! The Astral Reaching Realm warriors from the Alchemist Martial School are here to help!"
"It is true! There really are Astral Reaching Realm warriors in the Iron City!"
The firelight's momentum was so great that not long after, everyone could feel its astonishing aura and scorching temperature. The Horned Dragon Python in the herd also noticed the firelight. Its eyes were cold as it locked onto the location of the firelight. Then, it opened its mouth and spat out a pitch-black pillar of light.
"Break!"
A voice was heard from within the fire. Right after that, a huge flame-like blade Qi sliced through the air, clashing with the black light column.
Boom!
That horrifying blast wave brought up layers of dirt. A huge pit with a radius of hundreds of meters and a depth of dozens of meters had appeared on the ground.
Shoo!
The fire disappeared, and a human figure appeared right next to Tian Hao. It was an elder in his sixties, wearing a long robe with fire patterns on his sleeves.
Tian Hao said with respect, "Great Master!"
The elder nodded and said with a serious tone, "Tell everyone to leave the Iron City and head to the Gold Tripod City. That is the only place we can defend."
"What? With the Great Master here, we will definitely be able to defend the Iron City. "Tian Hao was a bit shocked. He did not expect the elder to say that.
The elder sighed, "If it were other rank 7 beasts, I would have the confidence to fight with or even beat them. But this Horn Dragon Snake is extremely powerful, almost equivalent to a Mid Astral Reaching Realm warrior. I can only stall it for a while. Once it drags on, even I will have to run away."
"Even Grand Elder couldn't defeat it?" Tian Hao gasped.
Ye Chen was speechless. Running away to the Gold Tripod City with a million people was definitely not a good idea. During the beast wave, there would be beasts everywhere outside the city. Not to mention a million people, even if there were ten million people, they would still be slaughtered. But, the opponent had made it clear that he could only stall the Horn Dragon Snake for a while, and would not be able to beat it. In other words, they would die either way. The fate of the Iron City's population had already been decided.
As the two were talking, the Horn Dragon Snake's second attack had arrived.
Shoo!
The black light column flashed once before disappearing, and the sky started to darken.
"Hurry up and get out of here! I can only hold it for fifteen minutes."
The old man rose from the ground, and a flaming machete appeared in his hand. The machete drew a stunning arc in the void and slashed at the pitch-black pillar of light.
The black light column had been shattered once again, and the elder flew towards the beast with the blade in his hand.
With Tian Hao's warning, everyone knew about this fact. They had to open the other three city gates and get ready to run towards the Gold Tripod City. Soon, everyone had returned to the Iron City. It turned out that there were beast waves coming from the other three directions as well. There were millions of them, and they had completely surrounded the Iron City. Not to mention normal people, even Late Clasping Yuan Realm warriors might not be able to get out.
"This is bad!" On the city wall, all of the Clasping Yuan Realm warriors looked pale. Before, they were still able to escape with their own power. But now, there were so many beasts everywhere, and some of them were even top rank 6 beasts. There was no way they could escape. If they had known this earlier, they would have escaped earlier.
Rumble!
The beasts were running extremely fast. Within the time it took to drink half a pot of tea, the Iron City had been completely surrounded. In the sky, under the city wall, every inch of space was filled with all kinds of beasts.
The first ones to suffer were the warriors on the city wall. Almost within a second, hundreds of them had been torn into pieces by the flying beasts, including an Early Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. It was a rank 6 beast, the Four Legged Flamingo, that had killed him.
"Tornado Broken Clouds!"
Facing all of those flying beasts, Ye Chen chose to attack with a large area of effect. He threw out a sword attack, and the sword qi twisted the air, forming a huge tornado. Shoo! Shoo!
Shoo! Shoo!
All the beasts below rank 5 would be sucked in once they got close to the tornado. They would be sliced into pieces. Although the rank 5 beasts had a high defense, they still could not keep their bodies steady. They were shakily spinning around the tornado, and were eventually killed by the sword qi.
Awoooo!
An earth-shattering wolf howl was heard, which shocked Ye Chen and the rest of them. They could not help but look into the distance.
Above the crowd of beasts, a gigantic demonic wolf was flying towards the Iron City. It was indeed one of the tyrants of the rank 6 beasts, the Wind Wolf.
Before the rest of them could react, another roar was heard. The ground started to shake violently, and a demonic bear that was even bigger than the Wind Wolf jumped into the air. It was like a dark cloud pressing down on the Iron City. The aggressive qi made all of the flying beasts in the sky scatter, not daring to come closer.
"Top rank 6 beast, Wind Wolf!"
"Top rank 6 beast, Black Bear!"
The lady mumbled.
Tian Hao took a deep breath and said, "Guys, if we don't run now, we will not have another chance."
The Wind Wolf and the Black Bear were both tyrants of the rank 6 beasts. With their power, they would not be able to fight against them at all. Plus, as more and more beasts appeared, no one could tell if there would be more top rank 6 beasts.
Ye Chen glanced at the Iron City behind him and said helplessly, "Let's run!"
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
While they were talking, most of the Clasping Yuan Realm warriors in the Iron City had performed their flying arts, running towards the place where there were fewer beasts.
Ye Chen and the other two followed closely behind the rest of them.
Ah!
The few Clasping Yuan Realm warriors in the front were suddenly entangled by a long and thin tongue. The tongue was covered with thorns, and with a slight pull, their bodies were torn apart.
"It is a top rank 6 beast, the Three Eyed Toad! Run!"
Hearing him, everyone, including Ye Chen, increased their speed to their limit. They did not dare to stay for even a second longer. This place was no longer a place where Clasping Yuan Realm warriors could run freely. Only Astral Reaching Realm warriors could come and go as they pleased.
In the next ten minutes, two hundred Clasping Yuan Realm warriors were either injured or killed. There were less than one hundred left, and most of them had died under the claws of the rank 6 beasts. Some of them had been badly wounded and had fallen into the beast groups, killed by countless low rank beasts.
"Supreme Shocking Cloud!"
"Burning Field Cut!"
"Arc Cut!"
Ye Chen and the other two were not having a good time either. Although they had carefully avoided the top rank 6 beasts, they were soon surrounded by a group of rank 6 beasts, falling into a crisis.
On the other side, the battle between the Great Master of the Alchemist Martial School and the Horned Dragon Snake had reached its climax.
The Horned Dragon Snake was not only extremely powerful in long-range attacks, but also in close combat. Its hundred-meter-long tail swept across the air, blowing away all the air within a thousand meters radius, turning it into a vacuum world. In this vacuum world, everything seemed to be weightless.
The elder yelled, the flame on his body burning fiercely. It was more than fifty percent stronger than before, and his whole body looked like a human-shaped fire pillar.
Boom!
A blade attack landed on the Horned Dragon Snake's tail, and the elder was blown away. With that momentum, his body flashed, jumping towards Ye Chen and the other two.
"Go!"
He waved his hand to kill all the rank 6 beasts surrounding them, then grabbed Tian Hao and rushed out of the encirclement with a speed that was a couple of times faster than the speed of sound.
Ye Chen and the lady looked at each other and forced a smile. They did not have that kind of insane speed, and they did not dare to follow behind the elder. Who knew if the Horned Dragon Snake would launch a long-range attack after them.
Just as they had expected, a pitch-black light column shot over, shooting towards the elder.
Along with a loud boom, the elder and Tian Hao's bodies disappeared.
"Let's leave as well! If the Horned Dragon Snake catches up with us, we will definitely die. "
"Yeah!"
Ye Chen and the lady flew side by side, trying their best to avoid the top rank 6 beasts. They did not dare to kill too many of them, as they were afraid that the Horned Dragon Snake would notice them.
