357 Withdraw! (2/2)
Everything happened very quickly. That candidate and his servants were still in the midst of tidying up. They had just managed to activate the array formation in their zone, but were a step too late. As the ferocious beast with Core Formation realm combat powers charged into the grounds, loud booms and painful screams instantly erupted. The candidate was shocked and dismayed at the crisis that struck. He immediately crushed his jade slip and escaped, but his servants were too slow, as even though they also chose to run away, they didn't have the teleportation jade slip, and therefore suffered severe injuries and deaths.
All of it happened in the blink of an eye. The fifth Beast Tide had just arrived but had already eliminated one candidate. That gripped all the remaining candidates with fear, and even Wang Baole grew nervous.
He saw how scary the current Beast Tide was, and knew clearly that he had underestimated the Beast Tide this time around. If he had half an hour more, his stronghold would be equipped with greater levels of power, but it was a fact that the current wave had come earlier than expected, and that made Wang Baole extremely troubled.
The stronghold still isn't ready. It would likely fail in resisting the beasts even if I were to use it to go against them now. Furthermore, if it suffers any damage, that would mean that I would be handed an early ticket to elimination… A glow flashed across Wang Baole's eyes as he looked at the catacombs outside. There was an uncountable number of beasts in the Beast Tide, charging towards him under the lead of a rotting corpse with Core Formation realm cultivation that looked like a giant monitor lizard. They created an imposing bluster, and it could easily be imagined, that upon impact, the incomplete stronghold of his would definitely be destroyed.
Darn it! This is forcing me to use my trump card! Wang Baole was furious. After handing some matters over to the little donkey, he leaped into the air and went outside. His Dharmic Armament appeared instantly, and he grabbed it tightly in his hands. Just like he had resisted the previous Beast Tide, he leaped over the walls and charged out!
The difference was that in the last wave, his opponents had a cultivation similar to someone who had a perfect Foundation Establishment realm cultivation. Right now, however, his opponents had the combat powers of a Core Formation cultivator. The difference between the two groups was too significant.
Everything that was happening instantly made the crowd from the Federation, the people from Mars, and even the various factions, freeze in shock. As they looked at the extremely brave Wang Baole, they were flabbergasted.
”This Wang Baole isn't out of his mind, is he? I thought that he was smart…”
”Isn't this courting death?”
”Is he trying to throw his life away?”
Even Li Yi, Kong Dao, and the others had noticed Wang Baole, who seemed to be fearless of death. They were all dumbfounded, but also instinctively felt that something was amiss.
However, they didn't have the time to care about Wang Baole's survival. The ferocious beasts in the fifth wave were much more ferocious than before, and as they advanced in their attacks, they were going head-on against the various zones. Instantly, a loud boom reverberated in all directions, and every single zone suffered significant damages.
As they put in all their effort in their resistance, the army of beasts charging towards Wang Baole, who were under the lead of the giant rotting monitor lizard, neared. The ground was shaking, and they were now less than ten thousand feet away from the walls of Wang Baole's zone. At the same time, Wang Baole also neared them at high speed.
Looking from a distance, Wang Baole was a lone ranger against a sea-like Beast Tide. The forces involved were frightening, and the two sides appeared as if they were about to collide with each other. Numerous live stream viewers from the Federation couldn't bear to watch Wang Baole die before their own eyes… No matter how powerful Wang Baole had been previously, he was, after all, merely a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator!
However, just as the Beast Tide neared and the rotting giant monitor lizard arrived head-on, Wang Baole suddenly stopped in his advance, standing there and raising his Dharmic Armament. He roared with a low voice, ”Withdraw!”
The moment he spoke, the heaven and earth transformed, and the clouds circled in reverse. An indescribable aura arrived imposingly, forming a frightening force. It was difficult to describe the range of the aura's effects. However, at that moment, the beasts in the Beast Tide in front of Wang Baole all let out painful cries and retreated, as if they had met with a frightening existence. They were moving at high speeds previously, and now, as they retreated, they collided with each other, forming a mess.
That was especially so for the arrogantly approaching rotting giant monitor lizard. Instinctively, it felt a sense of danger it had never experienced before. However, everything happened so fast that it wasn't only unable to retreat, but its body was also twisted as it rapidly leaped over to the other side. It chose to fall to the ground with a loud thud instead of further approaching Wang Baole. Even after landing heavily on the ground, it still scrambled to retreat with fear…
This ridiculous and unimaginable scene made the live stream viewers from the Federation hold their breath; they fell silent…
