Chapter 400 A Different Battlefield
The battles at the top of the wall had basically come to an end. Indeed, the half-spirit beasts that managed to jump onto the wall were the creams of the crop. In terms of absolute powers only, they could not be compared by newly-advanced Supreme Great Ancestors, who had not fully stabilized their boundaries yet.
Nonetheless, the half-spirit beasts were terribly unlucky to have encountered Supreme Great Ancestors that were armed to their teeth.
All of the great ancestors possessed notable magic tools.
As long as the magic tools had more than 20 points of Sharpness, they could inflict certain levels of harm to the half-spirit beasts even if they were used by Yang Grade powerhouses, let alone Supreme Great Ancestors. On top of that, the beasts were even more confused to find that the magic tools carried skills.
There were various strange skills, but since they could be attached to magic tools, they were not for show. No matter the skills simulated, they caused huge damage to the half-spirit beasts.
On the contrary, when the beasts managed to endure the damages from the sharp magic skill tools and dragged their wounded bodies toward the Supreme Great Ancestor, they could not kill the humans even when they slashed with their claws. The powerhouses’ armors would release yellow lights to block the attacks, which the beasts had exchanged with their lives, or they would drift away like fallen leaves through their magic boots. As such, the nearly-dead half-spirit beasts could only stare at them with grief.
Therefore, though there was a disturbance on the wall, it was quickly settled as many powerhouses joined hands.
At that point, Li Xinfan’s intention was clear.
The pieces of equipment smithed by Ou Yangming were the key, or a few Supreme Great Ancestors must sacrifice for them to achieve the same result.
Nevertheless, the people were not cheerful because they subconsciously looked into the distance.
It was the opposite direction of the main gate, where a thunderous explosion was heard. The people could not help but shudder with fear, so much so that other than the Supreme Great Ancestors and some remarkable Yang Grade powerhouses, the others fell to the ground.
“Oh no, they were diverting our attention!” Li Xinfan suddenly turned around and widened his eyes as he shouted. Before the general’s voice died away, he made a move to hurry toward that direction and yelled, “5 great ancestors will stay here. As for the rest, come with me!”
Elder Universe and the others looked at each other, then they flashed away. A few great ancestors were slow to react, so by the time they wanted to move, they realized that they were the only few left. They could not help but smile bitterly, and they were rather worried.
Chen Yilian was one of the great ancestors who stayed. All of a sudden, he called out loud, “Master Ou, what are you doing?”
Ou Yangming turned to respond with a smile, “Brother Chen, I’d like to go and take a look.”
“No, General Li ordered that you mustn’t go into the battlefield,” Chen Yilian quickly noted.
“Who said I want to get involved? I only want to see what’s going on.” Ou Yangming spread out his hands and nodded at Chen Yilian. “I promise you I won’t act at all.”
Chen Yifan s.h.i.+fted and blocked Ou Yangming’s path. “Master Ou, n.o.body knows what’s going on there. You can’t go over there!”
The few other Supreme Great Ancestors went forward and convinced him patiently too.
Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows and replied to them with a straight face, “Okay, I promise I won’t go there.”
The men sighed breaths of relief. They did not expect Ou Yangming to be so easygoing.
Who knew, Ou Yangming suddenly said, “I’m feeling tired now, and I’d like to go back to the Ni residence to rest. You’re not going to stop me, are you?”
Chen Yilian and the others looked at each other and thought, “How trustable is Master Ou’s word?”
Under normal circ.u.mstances, one of them could definitely escort the young fellow back. However, given that they were the only 5 great ancestors left on the main gate’s wall, as bold as they were, they dared not split up. Ou Yangming sighed. “Do you not trust me now?”
Chen Yilian and the other great ancestors were taken aback. They looked at each other and finally made way for the young fellow.
Ou Yangming spoke quite harshly, and it was not something they could bear.
He smiled faintly and headed toward the Ni residence indeed.
After making a few turns, Ou Yangming suddenly sped up. Despite that, he neither went after the deafening sound nor returned to the Ni residence. Instead, he searched those quiet and unoccupied small alleys.
Before long, he arrived at a narrow alley.
He stopped and turned to put his hands behind his back, then he asked, “Since you came, why don’t you show yourself?”
There was n.o.body in the dark alley because those who were capable had been recruited into the army during the beast tide. In fact, even ordinary but healthy women were contributing to guarding the city. As such, n.o.body would enter the small alley.
Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “I’m shocked to find that you’re actually so timid.”
“Hmph!”
