576 Siege The Zergs (2/2)

The ground trembled with another blare.

Fearing for his life, Dunluo flew himself up to the sky, and then noticed that his residence had already been reduced into a pile of rubble. Meanwhile, the commotion had alerted the Zergs and dark ones in the city as they gathered around what was left of the residence.

Dunluo rounded his eyes and scanned the surroundings for any culprit. Who dared to destroy the splendid place of Dunluo?

It didn't take long before he sniffed a whiff of human scent. There he was, a human standing right in the middle of the ruins. He smelled extremely powerful, an extra nutritious snack for the queen.

Hold on... Who was this guy? He looked so familiar.

”Rre-yo-Wong Tong?” Dunluo didn't have to speak human language often, so the words didn't come out right. The excitement in him didn't help his pronunciation either. The promise of capturing this human was unbearable. The reward for subduing this human would be more than just another city! Maybe the dark lord would even promote him to become his blood kin!

Wang Tong threw away the heads that he had just freshly picked off the bodies of a few dark ones. ”Yes. My name is Wang Tong. I am the one that your dark lord Moye and Patroclus are both looking for.” Wang Tong announced in his booming voice.

It had been a while since the dark ones and the Zergs had seen a human face inside of this city. The commotion and the promise to kill had attracted them to close in onto Wang Tong. Upon hearing the name of Wang Tong, these abominations started to become agitated. Some dark ones already threw themselves at him, while the more calculating ones watched the slaughter unfold from afar.

Every dark one knew what it meant to be the one who captured Wang Tong. Desire and greed burned in their eyes, making them look more like the humans than ever.

They need to capture this man at all cost.

Meanwhile, Yin Tianzong had led a small group and sneaked into the city through the mud gate. They quickly took control of a few strategic spots of the city while most dark ones were distracted by Wang Tong.

Dunluo cautiously ordered the dark ones to surround the human warrior. They flapped their bat wings and leered at Wang Tong from head to toe. Dunluo held back the urge to lash out at Wang Tong as he decided to take his time to leverage any advantage he had. He only got one shot, so he had to carefully take it.

”Are you ready?” Wang Tog asked when he saw that he was surrounded by layers upon layers of dark ones. The time was ripe.

He then launched himself into the air with a throng of dark ones in tow, Dunluo leading the charge. Some of the dark ones shot out hundreds of bone shards at their fleeing target. Dunluo shirked and shot an accusatory glare back at his soldiers. The prey was too precious to be torn apart by the bone shards.

Wang Tong curved his lips as lights shot out of his body. He glowed so brightly that the lights had temporarily blinded his pursuers, forcing them to stop. Meanwhile, he unleashed a soul energy attack the defenseless dark ones, killing hundreds of them in one blow. Seeing the turn of events, the more powerful Zergs started to pull back to gain some distance from Wang Tong. The more powerful a dark one was, the smarter he was.

Wang Tong was pleased by the retreat of the high-level dark ones. It told him that they were scared, and fear could be the best weapon against them.

When the effect of the blinding light finally subsided, Wang Tong clapped his hands together and charged up his soul energy. Suddenly, a wild gale blew across the battlefield, clearing the clouds above his head and revealing the gray sky. In a blink, the wild gale grew so strong that it became a shock wave.

This was the special move that Wang Tong had invented for this very moment—Manic Shock Wave!

After the shockwave passed through the dark ones, the pain in their heads rendered them defenseless. Although most other soul energy attacks were not able to harm the dark ones, Wang Tong had improved his attack so that it would make the dark ones feel nausea and dizziness after the attack.

Meanwhile, Guan Dongyang and Xiao Yuyu were weaving a hybrid mastery spell undisturbed. Without Wang Tong distracting the Zergs, the energy from this spell would have caught the dark ones' attention. Not far from them, Yin Tianzong and his unit guarded the casters in case any enemy passed by.

Dunluo was the strongest dark one in the city, and he was the first one to have noticed the other human soldiers hidden at the corner of the city. He sensed that the power in that spell was enough to destroy this entire city. Feeling that his survival was at stake, he conceded that capturing Wang Tong would have to wait. He commanded the rest of the dark ones with a long shriek and flew toward the human soldiers.
