Chapter 199 – The Beast Wave (Part Two) (2/2)
Ye Chen saw the broken walls of the city, and asked,” Were you under attack as well?”
The young man nodded, “Ever since this afternoon, there had been five waves of attacks. The most dangerous one had around six thousand beasts. They were everywhere. A lot of the people had already rushed towards the Iron City. I am only staying to protect the rest of them.”
“I am Ye Chen, and you are?”
“Tian Hao.”
“The Yellow Mountain Town is not going to last. But it is quite late already. We might have to hold on for another night. Let’s fight guys!” Being able to see a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior, Ye Chen was also quite happy. During the beast wave, only warriors that were above Condensing Reality Realm could throw attacks with massive attacking radius. With one pair of extra hands, Ye Chen felt a little bit more confident.
Tian Hao laughed,” There are more than one Clasping Yuan Realm warriors in Yellow Mountain Town. The other ones are at three other gates. Adding you, there are seven of us in total. Three of them are Mid Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. So holding on for one night should be fine since the real beast wave takes longer time to form. By then, we would make it to the Iron City I hope.”
“Yah, seven people, it should be enough.”
Ye Chen let out a huge breath; seven Clasping Yuan Realm warriors in one town. It’s the luckiest thing that could happen in an event of tragedy.
Although the town was not too big, but because a lot of people had left, now even with people of three towns here, it still did not look crowded. But of course, there were people from other villages nearby but they were not as lucky as the people from Zhun Yang Village and Li Yang Village. Because they did not have the protection from Clasping Yuan Realm warriors, a lot of people had died. Only less than a hundred people had made it to the Yellow Mountain Town.
In all the restaurants.
“Everyone! Eat as much as you want! The owners have already left for the Iron City. So everything is free of charge.”
Inside all the weaponry shops.
“Everyone grab a weapon! Don’t take too much and don’t take too less. Your life depends on it tonight.”
Facing the beast wave, everyone started to work together which was something that would never happen in a peaceful time.
On the street.
Seeing the people and warriors come and go, Tian Hao said,” I will take you to meet the other Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. Tonight, we will fight along each other after all.”
Ye Chen nodded.
The meeting was quite pleasant, and everyone was really happy with the new Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. They knew with one Clasping Yuan Realm warrior, it could replace ten Condensing Reality Realm warriors. The attacking power and range was incomparable.
The night had arrived.
The atmosphere became extra serious, and so did Ye Chen.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
There were beast roars coming from not too far away.
Soon, the roaring sound covered the whole place. With the moon shining, the people with weapons in their hands could see a huge pile of dark shadows moving quickly towards them. They were all beasts. Rank 1 and 2 beasts were running in the front, followed by rank 3 and 4 beasts. In the end were some rank 5 and 6 beasts. These beasts were not in a hurry to attack the Yellow Mountain Town. They were taking their time, moving step by step.
The leading part of the human side.
Tian Hao said with a hint of joy,” There seems to be only one rank 6 beast over this side. And judging from its beast qi, it should be equivalent to a peak-level Mid Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. You and me working together, let’s take it out first.”
Ye Chen said,” Don’t have to be so complicated. You go help the others. I will take care of the rank 5, 6 beasts.”
“Alone?” Tian Hao looked confused.
Ye Chen did not answer, instead, he reached out his hand. His Star Scar Sword appeared in his hand. The sword was out of its scabbard and waved towards the beasts.
The ground suddenly was cracked open. All of the beasts that were running in the front fell on the ground. The sword qi kept exploding in the beast groups, killing another eight rank 3 or 4 beasts until it stopped.
“What a powerful sword qi.” Tian Hao was shocked. He was also at the peak-level Early Clasping Yuan Realm. Although he did not make it in the top seventy-two in the Hidden Dragon Rank, but he thought this time for sure he could make it. He assumed Ye Chen’s attacking power to be below his, not expecting him to be this horrifyingly powerful, killing ten beasts with one sword qi.
Rooooooar!
That rank 6 beast saw Ye Chen killing all those beasts, and started roaring all of a sudden. Its beast qi spread out in the whole area, and it soon appeared in the front of the beast group. It opened its mouth, as a huge fire wave appeared and attacked towards Ye Chen.
“Break!”
With few hundred meters in between, Ye Chen threw out a sword attack.
The blue sword qi sliced through the air like a fallen star. It had not only cut open the fire wave, but also hit right at the rank 6 beast’s body. Before the rank 6 beast was able to throw out its powerful attack, its body was cut in half, blood spilling out everywhere.
“Impressive! I thought you were about to struggle for a while. I guess not! Haha!”
Tian Hao was shocked at first, then filled with joy. With Ye Chen being here, the rank 6 beasts were no longer a threat. All he needed to do now was to kill all the beasts that were below rank 5.
The beasts had not gotten close yet, and all the Clasping Yuan Realm warriors had already started their attacks. The rest of the warriors were waiting for their time to come, preparing to throw their bodies at the beasts.
“Tornado Broken Clouds!” “Mountains Attacks!” “…”
Ye Chen preformed all of his wide-range attacks. His sword qi shot out in all directions, killing groups and groups of beasts.
“Night Attack Eight Directions!”
Tian Hao’s power could also not be ignored. A long pitch-dark blade appeared in his hand, which he waved in the air, as ten blade qi spread out immediately towards different directions.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!...
With only two men’s power, a lot of the beasts were already too scared to come close. Most of them had been killed by the endless sword and blade qi once they got into the three-hundred-meter radius. Even the rank 3 and 4 beasts were not able to survive. Only rank 5 beasts were able to go through the blockage of sword and blade qi.
However, what was waiting for them was a fist. A powerful fist that had absorbed all the yuan qi from few hundred meters was thrown out.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Four rank 5 beasts exploded in the air.
“So expressive! It was almost impossible for us to get involved!”
“They had killed at least few hundred beasts. Plus all those beasts from the back, they were also killed once they got close. Even those rank 5 beasts!”
“This seems to be dangerous. Let’s go help them.”
All warriors in the back could not do much but discuss.
Ye Chen heard what they had said, and yelled,” Half of you go guard the other places. It is safe here with us.”
Tian Hao said,” Brother Ye is right.”
Hearing them, half of the one hundred people had left, leaving only fifty people.
The first wave of the beasts was not too large. There were only around three thousand beasts at Ye Chen and Tian Hao’s side. And within the short period of time, half of those beasts had been killed by them.
“Another rank 6 beast?! An Eagle Tiger Beast!” Tian Hao yelled.
Pippop!
Tian Hao had just finished his sentence when that Eagle Tiger Beast was cut in half by an extremely fast sword qi. It was almost like a lightning, so mind shockingly horrifying.
Tian Hao found himself speechless. ‘What the heck? A rank 6 beast was not even able to last one sword qi attack from him – that Eagle Tiger Beast is equivalent to a normal Late Clasping Yuan Realm!’
Putting a pill into his mouth, Ye Chen could not look calmer. Unlike a normal rank 6 beast, wanting to kill it with one sword attack, Ye Chen would have to use a little trick which in this case would be the last movement of his Sky Cloud Sword Art – the Astral Shocking Clouds. As for the One Sword Attack, he could not just use it whenever he wanted as it burned a lot of qi and energy.
After fighting intensively for a long period of time, Tian Hao’s zhen qi had been burned out at a drastic speed. However, he had also carried quite a lot of pills, among which included the zhen qi repairing pills that could boost almost thirty percent of his zhen qi at once. He said,” Brother Ye, if you run out of pills, I have some here as well. The martial institution I am from – the Alchemist Martial School, specializes in making medicines, mostly martial pills.”
Ye Chen said,” No need, I have plenty of them as well.”
Besides the bottle full of zhen qi repairing great pills, he also had got a couple hundreds of normal zhen qi repairing pills which cost him about one hundred thousand gold. Normally, the normal pills were already enough, and there was no need to waste those pills that could repair all of the zhen qi at once.
All of the beasts over their side had been killed, while the others were still struggling over their sides.
Ye Chen said,” I will go help the others, are you fine by yourself here for now?”
“Yes, of course, you go! I think they might be struggling over there. Rank 6 beasts are still quite powerful for people like us.” Tian Hao sat on the ground with his feet tugged under his body, while he meditated.
Shoo!
Ye Chen expanded his body, and soon arrived at the South Gate of the Yellow Mountain City.
Without any hesitation, Ye Chen threw out a sword attack at the rank 6 beast that was attacking one of the Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. That beast roared after being hit, and fell on the ground.
