Chapter 327 – Massacre of a City (1/2)
Octahead's shrieks were particularly resounding in the dark. The shrill voice penetrated one's bones, making one shiver.
As a first-class main city, Sky City was colossal and weighty. A God-tier expert that could easily uproot a mountain top as it might be, Octahead had its limit. Upon being terribly slammed by Sky City at top speed, all the bones in its body burst with crackling sounds and all nine heads collapsed at the same time. When Sky City slowly rose and stabilized, appearing before everyone was only a mass of meat paste, plus nine basket-sized inner cores of different attributes rolling about wildly in the air.
“Dead? Just like that?” All the experts in the sky, including Iron Eagle, Lin Xi, and the nine-tailed fox, were in disbelief. Octahead, a powerful Divine expert who once had challenged the sacred beast Azure Dragon, the sacred beast protector of Sun Dynasty, died from a slight bump?
However, looking at the sky-blotting flying city, the nine-tailed fox secretly gulped. Not to mention Octahead, even if it bundled together with Octahead they wouldn’t be able to withstand such a collision.
“Retreat,” the nine-tailed fox ordered. Now that Octahead was dead, their side was simply no match for Iron Eagle’s, so its first idea was to withdraw.
“Want to run? Too late.” Iron Eagle issued a long roar, and a huge blood eagle soared aggressively towards the nine-tailed fox.
Even after having killed Octahead in a blow, Fatty didn’t feel very good at the moment. Sky City was in violent turmoil and many newly-built buildings had collapsed, making it another huge cost.
However, the benefits of killing a sacred beast were also hefty. More than half of the experience from Octahead was attributed to Fatty, the Lord of Sky City. Billions of experience points leapfrogged his experience bar as Fatty flashed five times in a row, gaining a full five levels.
Other players in Sky City also had their own gains, but the scattered experience wasn’t enough to level them, except for a few players who had been just a little short from leveling.
“Dead, dead!” Reck cried out in a pleasant surprise. Pulling Lucas, the two instantly teleported out.
Everybody’s eyes seemed to go dizzy as the nine big inner cores disappeared in a flash, and Reck and Lucas reappeared in Sky City.
“Hahaha, a sacred beast’s inner cores, and a poison attribute one to boot! Now I can refine a poison that can kill Divine experts.” Reck laughed loudly. As soon as he was done laughing, he called out, “There is still a nine-tailed fox over there. Fatty, run into it.”
“I say, old man, you think we can still afford it once more?” Fatty threw him a contemptuous look. The impact just now had damaged over half of the structures in Sky City and even consumed half of the magic stones Fatty had brought over from the Demon realm. Another clash would drain the rest of the magic stones. Without its energy source, Sky City would become useless in this war, and the loss would outweigh the benefits.
Reck also thought of this. He sighed and swallowed saliva as he looked at the nine-tailed fox.
“No rush. Without Octahead, the nine-tailed fox can’t win the fight alone, nor can it escape from Marshal Iron Eagle,” Lucas said.
Now that there was one less threat, the Xuanhuang experts fully displayed their might and forced the Sun Dynasty’s Divine experts led by the nine-tailed fox to repeatedly retreat. At the same time, the news that the army had approached Nonatail City arrived. That was when it suddenly dawned on Fatty. No wonder the NPC troops hadn’t been able to catch up with him after such a long time. It turned out they had marched for Nonatail City.
“Go.” Knowing that death would be inevitable if they continued fighting, the nine-tailed fox took a hard look at Sky City before an incantation was hastily chanted out from its mouth, and the Dark Blood Mantra suddenly changed.
The boundless black mist gradually diluted, but the dripping of blood rain became more intense. A black hole appeared in the sky, where two stark white skeletal hands over a kilometer long stuck out. These two hands were covered in dense bloodstreams, just like a person's hands that were stripped of their flesh leaving only blood vessels. At their emergence, the hands grabbed the edge of the hole and tore hard, expanding it.
“Blood Curse Evil Dragon?! Damn you!” Iron Eagle flew into a seething rage. He immediately gave up on pursuing the nine-tailed fox to return to Sky City, appearing quite apprehensive about the two big hands.
“Xuanhuang Ancient Country, just you wait for our Sun Dynasty's revenge.” In the darkness came the voice of the nine-tailed fox, who was taking the dozen men to leave in a hurry.
“Let's go, this Blood Curse Evil Dragon is beyond us.” Landing inside Sky City, Iron Eagle urged Fatty.
Seeing this kind of anxiety on Iron Eagle’s face for the first time, Fatty also panicked. He hastily operated the magic formation for a space jump.
The hole in the sky continued to expand before a hill-like dragon head poked out from it. Like the hands, this head had no skin and was covered in only blood veins that were still squirming. Just looking at it made people’s scalp tingle.
The dragon’s eyes were two deep holes in which two blood-red flames danced.
“RARGHHHHH!”
Out of the hole, the head swayed from side to side and seemed delighted to see the scene below. The mouth opened to issue a loud roar as the creature struggled hard to come out.
The space snapped with the sounds of glass shattering. In several minutes, the Blood Curse Evil Dragon had squeezed out more than half of the body. Only the lower half was still stuck inside the hole.
“What is this thing?” Fatty gulped hard in terror.
