The two Transcendent Second Order harpies were heading straight for the sparring arena.
It was twenty kilometers away from the Imperial Envoys and fifty kilometers away from the imperial palace.
For Transcendents, dozens of kilometers could be traversed in an instant, but the harpies were faster.
The three Great Chang Unity realm experts struck out with their spells from dozens of kilometers away. The harpies did not reduce their speed in defense or had any intention of turning to dodge. They withstood the attacks head-on and only suffered minor injuries. The amount of Essence they expended to instantly recover was less than 0.05%.
The protective phantom conjured by the city's defensive array was even stronger. It nearly shattered the harpies' bodies, draining them of 0.8% of their Essence.
But that was all.
With the harpies' speed, they could sweep away the human elites in seconds and escape the range of the city's defensive array … Human Unity realm experts would not be able to catch up to them.
They had succeeded more than once. Previously, they had attacked large cities. Ever since they obtained the treasure that could temporarily crack open the city's defensive array, they had been able to enter and exit the Great Chang Imperial Capital without any resistance.
The harpies looked at the handsome human youths and could not help but lick their lips.
At that moment.
The sparring between the younger generation was still ongoing.
On the arena stood an immortal sect disciple. His opponent had just been carried off the arena.
A youth at the early stages of the eighth Firmament leaped onto the arena. "Your winning streak ends here …"
Before he finished his sentence, a lethal sense of danger surged up his spine to the top of his head. It was so cold that it was suffocating.
He was so stiff that he could not even lift his head. He felt as though the sky was about to collapse as a heavy mountain pressed down on him. He found it difficult to breathe!
The immortal sect disciples had relatively stronger resistance. They had undergone pressure resistance training in the psyche space.
However, they still found it difficult to move.
The harpies waved their claws, transforming their Essence Energy into a gust of wind that swept up more than ten young elites. The first to bear the brunt of it were those on the stone pillars around the arena.
They were lifted high into the sky before they could even cry out.
The Void Treading experts of the officials around the arena were like paper in front of the harpies. They were sent flying with blood spewing out of their mouths after a single exchange.
Outside the arena, the few experts who had not fainted were horrified.
However, they were unable to make a sound as though their necks were being strangled.
The second harpy flew low in the air, stretched out her claws, and a dozen young hunters with strong aura were caught high in the air.
Including the two people in the arena.
They were like drowning people tied up by seaweed, unable to struggle. Their consciousness gradually sank into darkness.
Suddenly,
"Bam!"
With a soft sound, the colorful bubble burst.
Unbeknownst to him, a figure had appeared on the arena.
He looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, and his face had a bit of baby fat on it. His green hair was flying in the air, and he was holding a small staff in his hand, the top of which was emitting a misty brilliance.
The dreamy light enveloped the sky around the arena.
The harpy swayed, and the dozen young elites who had just been caught fell to the ground, many of them fainting on the spot.
"Holy shit, there's even a Void Treading expert!"
"There's hope!"
'Who is she?'
"So strong!!"
The audience, who witnessed this scene, roared in their hearts.
The Harpy's eyes became much sharper. She opened her mouth and an ear-piercing screech spread out.
Boom!
A few of the audience who survived under the pressure finally fainted. Some even bled from their seven orifices and died.
The first to bear the brunt was Bamboo Rat Oguri. After all, she was just a senior Transcendent. Her mind suddenly roared, but with her strong willpower and spirit, she still recovered.
She used her spirit power to construct layers of barriers and set up illusions around her in a defensive posture. It was not that she did not want to attack, but the Harpy's "Harpy's Howl" was a spirit piercing attack. Her own spirit power was even stronger than Bamboo Rat Oguri's, so her illusion was not very effective.
But her defense was enough.
A head-on entanglement was enough to last for a while. Bamboo Rat Oguri was still confident in herself. At worst, she could ask for help.
In the next second.
The Harpy changed her target and whizzed over the auditorium, taking away a few young Awakened ones.
Among them was the unconscious Cao Xinghua.
Bamboo Rat Oguri: "(̄ □ ̄;)?"
Her short legs caught up, but it was too late.
…
The two Unity realm harpies flew toward the hole in the sky one after the other.
The Great Prosperity Nation's ruler, Qin Guangyue, and the other two Unity realm experts closed in on each other. Their Origin Powers spewed out, blasting blobs of light in midair.
"No, even if it implicates those young elites, I can't let the harpies take them away."
The descendants of high-level Awakened were often more talented than the descendants of ordinary people. Some were Awakened the moment they were born.
Harpies were especially outstanding in this aspect.
A talented young elite could provide hundreds of descendants to the harpies if they were squeezed dry. Eventually, they could become one or two Void Treading realm experts.
This ratio was extremely high.
In a few centuries or millennia, the harpies' strength might very well exceed the Great Chang. When that happened, it would be a calamity.
"Kill! Don't hold back! "
Qin Guangyue, who was flying at high speeds, pointed his sword at the harpy from afar. Instantly, circles of profound runes emitted from the sword's tip.
"Soaring into the Heavens!"
A resplendent light bloomed, instantly resembling a tiny sun.
A terrifying might swept out, causing the pedestrians on the street to stumble.
The heavy sword beams tore through more than five kilometers and struck the harpy who was unwilling to waste time dodging.
It penetrated the tornado defense that the harpy had set up. Under the Demoness's Wail, the Soaring Firmaments sword beam trembled as its luster dimmed significantly. Finally, when the strike landed on the harpy's body, it tore apart her reddish-brown feathers. Blood splattered as her body exploded like shattered porcelain.
But at that moment, they gathered together once again.
Such a suicidal escape method allowed the harpy to firmly surround the young elites. She would rather bear the brunt of the attack than be implicated by the aftershocks.
"Heheheh. 1.1% loss of Origins. As expected of the Great Chang's king. I might not be your match in a head-on battle."
However, they would only lose 2 to 3% of their Origins at most. With the resources provided by their clans, they would recover in a few years. The two harpies did not mind it at all.
At that moment.
A palpitating feeling came over them.
At some point in time, Fanny was less than a kilometer away from them. She clenched her right hand into a fist as gray gases formed a gigantic fist shadow that struck out.
Bam!
Like fireworks, the sky was filled with flesh and blood exploding.
Two moments later, the harpy's body reformed. Her face was pale, and she only managed to wrap around the three youths with the strongest auras. The rest fell from the sky.
"6.5%. A single strike made me lose 6.5% of my Origins. What sort of attack is that!?"
After striking out with a concentrated Heart Force, Fanny looked indignantly at the harpy's rising altitude. As a wolf-type creature, how could she catch up to a winged harpy in midair?
Tang Yu felt a headache coming on.
With his current half-baked spatial powers, it would be difficult for him to catch up.
He estimated that his domain would not be able to cover a second-order harpy that was twenty to thirty kilometers away.
"Why is Fanny so straightforward? Can't she just throw a punch at the harpy that's grabbing Cao Xinghua!?"
He sighed.
He charged high into the sky and used Teleport Steps Modify with his spatial powers. He instantly traversed several kilometers and closed the distance.
Feeling the space tearing at his muscles, Tang Yu steadied his feet and stood high in the sky. He faced the harpy and pointed from afar.
A cluster of glazed flames ignited at his fingertips. The dancing flames illuminated the harpy's fleeing figure.
He flicked his finger.
The glazed flames shot out, piercing through layers of space.
The harpy felt great horror. She let out a sharp scream and hurriedly dodged to the side without caring about flying the shortest distance.
Whoosh ~
The glazed flames landed accurately on the harpy's body. It suddenly burned violently, completely enveloping the harpy. From afar, it looked like a flaming person. However, the flames were glazed.
It was exceptionally brilliant.
The flames did not extinguish. The harpy's body constantly healed as she let out a painful wail.
In less than three seconds.
Whoosh ~
The glazed flames extinguished, leaving only the charred figure of the harpy in the air. It slowly fell down and was blown away by the wind. The ashes dissipated in the air.
Including the terrifying aura that was as deep as the abyss.
There was silence in the Great Chang capital!
