544: The Peak Emperor, this is just the subordinate of the God Emperor

"Zhao Yun, reporting for duty!"

"Zhang Liao, receiving orders!"

"I, Guan Yu, heed the summons."

Three voices, one after another, responded from afar.

Some were clear, some resonant, some arrogant.

But all had profound internal Qi, and just by listening to their voices, one could discern that the speakers were powerful.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky.

The silver lightning, like a wandering Dragon, heavily impacted the orc army formation charging forward.

Immediately, the earth cracked, and the city walls shook.

Countless shattered rocks and corpses were hurled high into the sky by the violent tremor, like grains of wheat scattered into the air.

As the world turned upside down, the Crescent Moon Elves on the city wall swayed from side to side, unable to stand steadily.

Before they could react, a fierce tiger's roar echoed again.

A violent whirlwind rose from the ground, like a giant snake, swallowing the orcs who had been thrown into the sky.

The sharp whistling sound of air being torn apart caused the Elves' eardrums to ache.

Elves skilled in wind elemental magic knew that the rapidly spinning whirlwind was not an invisible Qi, but countless sharp blades.

Orcs caught within it would surely be torn to shreds!

Indeed!

After a series of sharp wind whistles, the whirlwind dispersed with a roar.

What followed was a sky full of severed limbs and blood, falling like a torrential downpour, staining the crystal-like Moon Viewing City into a red crystal city.

"What kind of skill is this!? It's too terrifying!"

"Emperor-Ranked Professional! This must be a Peak Emperor-Ranked Professional!"

Exclamations erupted on the city wall.

The previously pristine Elves were now covered in blood from the rain, all showing expressions of horror.

Just two skills had annihilated nearly ten thousand orcs.

This kind of destructive power could only be possessed by an Emperor-Ranked Professional.

But... the two Emperor-Ranked powerhouses in Moon Viewing City were both on the city wall; they hadn't made a move!

Who then had acted?

The Crescent Moon Elves soldiers looked around.

Beneath the blood-mist-shrouded city wall, three figures stood.

One wore silver armor and held a long spear.

Another wore dark armor and wielded a long halberd.

One was wreathed in lightning, the other enveloped in wind pressure, clearly the ones who had just acted.

"Zhao Yun... Zhang Liao..."

Elder Taelan murmured.

Her Elven Keen Eye could only see their names, but not their attributes.

Actually, there was no need to see through them.

The combat power of these two was definitely at the Peak Emperor Tier, and perhaps even stronger than the Emperor Tier.

At least, she, a Peak Emperor, couldn't instantly kill nearly ten thousand orcs.

However, the "Zhao Yun" and "Zhang Liao" before her were not the most unsettling presences for Taelan.

In front of the re-forming Tiance Imperial Guards, a human on a tall horse also appeared.

He had a very handsome long beard, a face as crimson as a snake fruit, and his narrow eyes were half-closed, giving him an arrogant air of looking down on the world.

However, he had the capital for such arrogance.

Although this human had not made a move just now,

Just looking at his posture, no one would think he was weaker than the previous two.

The long blade in his hand was emitting a chill amidst the warm blood rain.

Both Ayla and Taelan shivered when they saw the long blade.

At this moment, they both had a strange feeling.

Although their heads were still on their necks, they no longer felt like their own.

Acting Holy Maiden Ayla took a deep breath and said, "I feel that the strongest in the Elf World, the Dark Matron, is not his opponent..."

"No." Elder Taelan shook her head, "Even if I, Stormrage, and the Dark Matron combined, we wouldn't be his match."

"Are these just the Emperor's subordinates...?"

Ayla's voice trembled as she looked back at the man named "Xun Yu" behind her.

Just then, a series of rumbling sounds began.

A nearby Crescent Moon Elf cried out in alarm, "Watch out! The catapults are attacking!"

Ayla sharply turned her head to look.

She saw giant, fiery red boulders flying rapidly towards the city wall.

The boulders had a radius of four meters, and their centers were hollowed out to contain explosives configured by orc alchemists.

The last main force of the Forest Elves had been annihilated by the orcs using these very explosives.

"Activate the barrier!"

Elder Taelan instinctively shouted.

If these boulders exploded on the city wall, they would cause devastating damage.

Even if there were reinforcements from the Emperor in front of the city wall, she couldn't do nothing.

But just as Elder Taelan finished speaking, a voice shouted, "Evil-Repelling Bronze Gate!"

Clang!

A heavy metallic grinding sound echoed.

In front of the Moon Viewing City wall, a translucent giant gate suddenly appeared.

The gate was inlaid with numerous patterns, all of creatures Ayla and Elder Taelan had never seen before.

The Aura emanating from it felt as if it came from ancient times, solemn and profound.

Boom!

Just as everyone was astonished,

The first fiery stone fell, striking the translucent bronze gate.

The special explosives instantly transformed into a fiery cloud, unleashing terrifying destructive power.

However, it did not budge the translucent bronze gate in the slightest, only emitting a heart-shaking roar.

Almost simultaneously, the catapults hidden in the distant forest unexpectedly broke down and exploded, as if struck by their own hurled boulders.

"The orc catapults are destroyed!?"

Ayla, observing the distance, noticed this scene and at first thought she had seen wrong.

But as more and more siege fire stones hit the bronze gate, the distant Radiant Moon Forest also erupted in explosion after explosion!

The timing of the explosions was almost perfectly synchronized with the fire stones hitting the bronze gate!

Clearly, they were taking damage from themselves!

It really was damage reflection!

Ayla was utterly astonished.

Equipment and skills that could reflect damage were not uncommon.

But she had never seen a skill that could reflect damage from several kilometers away!

Crucially, each time a fire stone fell, one catapult was destroyed.

This indicated at least 50% damage reflection!

"These are divine skills!"

"With this gate here, the orcs simply can't break through!"

Ayla leaned against the city wall, her eyes shining with excitement as she spoke.

But at that moment, a voice came from behind her.

"My lady, you flatter me; Qin's Evil-Repelling Bronze Gate is not indestructible."

"Who?"

Ayla and Elder Taelan turned to look.

They saw that at some unknown point, another person had appeared behind Xun Yu... The person who spoke, like the humans below the city earlier, wore classically styled armor, was burly, and had a magnificent Aura.

The weapons in his hands were even more unprecedented.

They were two four-sided, diamond-shaped weapons, with edges but no blades, prominent angles, and were incredibly heavy.

Ayla couldn't even imagine the scene when such weapons were used; she just felt that if she were hit once, all her bones would shatter.

"Another Peak Emperor, this is the fourth one already..."

Ayla felt a chill in her heart.

These Peak Emperor powerhouses could appear silently.

If they were enemies, she would already be dead.

"Fortunately, they are on our side!"

Ayla thought to herself.

She felt that with these powerful individuals sent by the Emperor, Moon Viewing City would surely be able to withstand the orc invasion.

Just as Ayla felt secure, someone suddenly shouted, "Something's wrong! The orc corpses are all gone!"

Ayla and Elder Taelan were stunned, and looked outside the city wall.

They saw that the battlefield, which had been covered in corpses, was suddenly much emptier.

The severed limbs, even the blood, had disappeared without them noticing!
