259: The snake people slaughtered the city, with no regrets
On the desolate edge of the Death Desert, within a massive city of thirty to forty thousand people.
The night, which should have been a picture of tranquility and peace, was now enveloped as if by a demon's roar, the sounds of battle shaking the heavens like rolling thunder.
"Kill these utterly detestable Foreign Race!"
A brawny man with a resolute face glared, his eyes burning with fury, the broadsword in his hand glinting with cold light under the moonlight.
"Damn it, do these Foreign Race really think our Human Clan is easy to bully?"
Another Martial Artist cursed and roared, his words full of unwillingness and anger, as he also swung his long blade and charged forward.
"Brothers, kill fiercely! We can't bring shame to our Great Xia!"
A leading Martial Artist shouted loudly, his voice like a war drum, inspiring every comrade beside him.
Everyone responded one after another, their morale soaring, as if transforming into an unstoppable torrent of steel.
"This... these are the legendary Serpent People who were long extinct? How could they appear here?"
A Martial Artist muttered in shock, a hint of doubt and unease flashing in his eyes.
However, the situation at this moment did not allow for any hesitation; the enemy had surged forward, and they had to plunge into battle without delay.
One by one, brave and fearless Great Xia Martial Artists, wielding sharp battle blades, charged onto the battlefield like gods descending, exuding fervent fighting spirit and an indomitable will.
And facing them was a group of strangely shaped Foreign Race with human bodies and snake tails.
Those serpentine tails whipped wildly in the air, like deadly whips, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at any moment.
Besides these Serpent People, there were also some strange and terrifying insects. If Li Wuji were here, he would definitely recognize them; these insects were all Petrification Sandworms.
This city located in the Death Desert had always been an important outpost for various merchant caravans, mercenaries, and hunting teams.
Everyone who lived or stayed here was no ordinary person. Facing this sudden crisis, they began to counterattack at the fastest speed.
But with these Petrification Sandworms present, those Great Xia Martial Artists simply couldn't hold them back. Martial Artists fell every moment, the scene was truly tragic.
Above the dome of the sky, three streaks of light flickered with strange radiance like brilliant stars. They constantly collided with astonishing speed, each collision seemingly capable of causing a tremor between heaven and earth.
Through the fluctuations generated by the fierce battle, one could clearly feel the powerful auras emanating from these three figures; they were all awe-inspiring experts of the Martial General Realm.
"I have already notified the Lord at Yumen Pass! You will definitely learn the consequences of invading our Hua Xia territory!"
That Human Clan man, clad in armor, revealed determination and resolve in his eyes. Holding the battle blade that shone with cold light, he stood before the two Serpent Human Race Warrior Generals like a god of war guarding the frontier.
The battle blade danced wildly in his hand, like an agile Flood Dragon.
However, even though he used all his strength, he was still constantly suppressed by the opponents, as if trapped in a predicament he couldn't break free from.
Facing the two Serpent People Martial Generals, his attacks seemed somewhat powerless. From time to time, they would be skillfully interrupted or deflected by the opponents. That feeling of helplessness and frustration made him extremely uncomfortable.
In such a situation, his body was already covered in wounds, but he never gave up, stubbornly resisting the two.
"Hahahahaha, after more than three hundred years of humiliation, the moment for revenge has finally arrived today.
We were suppressed by you for over three hundred years back then. Today's city massacre can only be considered interest!"
One of the Serpent Human Race Warrior Generals let out a piercing laugh, a cruel light flickering in his eyes.
"General advises you to surrender obediently. That way, you can suffer less physical pain."
The other Serpent Human Race Warrior General said with a cold tone, the spear in his hand as agile as a venomous snake. The two attacked the man's vital points fiercely, one from the left and one from the right.
The earthy yellow light flickering in their eyes made them look even more eerie, as if they were true venomous snakes.
The General knew that the power interfering with him came from the opponents' eyes, but even without meeting their gaze, he was still affected.
"Hmph, merely some insignificant small fry, yet you dare to be arrogant?"
The General's tiger-like eyes widened, his entire person looking incredibly resolute, the killing intent on his body like a tangible substance!
"I suppose the city massacres in other places some time ago were also your doing?"
"That's right. If we need resources, we can only snatch them from you humans!"
One of the Serpent Human Race Warrior Generals said while intensifying his attack, the smile on his face growing richer.
"So what if you contacted the people at Yumen Pass? Even if a Martial Lord comes personally, it will take some time.
Look at the situation below. This amount of time is more than enough to kill you and destroy the city!"
Immediately, the two Serpent Human Race Warrior Generals jointly launched an attack. A hint of determination flashed in the General's eyes.
"Burning Soul!"
Before his voice fell, the General's aura surged greatly, and the battle blade in his hand shone even brighter, as if it was about to split the sky.
"No matter what the outcome is today, at least you will die today. This is my duty as the Lord!"
"Die!"
Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, the General's might surged dramatically, like an awakened fierce tiger, instantly breaking through the constraints of the surrounding air.
His battle blade drew a brilliant trajectory in the air, carrying the fiercely burning fire of spiritual power, and collided violently with the spears of the two Serpent Human Race Warrior Generals, stirring up visible ripples. The air at this moment seemed to be torn apart.
The Serpent Human Race Warrior Generals clearly had not expected the opponent to possess such powerful explosive force. The earthy yellow light in their eyes flickered slightly, evidently also greatly shaken.
However, since they had come, they had naturally made all preparations.
"Hmph, the art of Burning Soul. You are digging your own grave. You might as well leave yourself!"
The Serpent Human Race Warrior General on the left sneered, his body shifting strangely to the side, dodging the General's powerful and heavy blow. At the same time, his spear shot out like a spirit snake leaving its hole, directly targeting the opponent's heart meridian.
And the Martial General on the right seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. The tail end of his spear whipped out violently, carrying the whistling sound of wind, attempting to entangle the General's legs and restrict his movement.
Facing this sudden double offensive, the General remained unhurried. It was as if some ancient power was Awakening within his body.
His movements became increasingly agile. Each swing of his blade perfectly neutralized the opponent's attacks while he looked for opportunities to counterattack.
Every collision between the battle blade and the spears was accompanied by deafening roars and flying sparks. The entire battlefield seemed to be enveloped by this power, becoming scorching hot and oppressive.
"You Foreign Race won't understand!" The General's voice was hoarse, yet his face held a great laugh and arrogance.
"If there is no tomorrow, then burn out today. If there is still tomorrow, then swing your blade to your heart's content, without shame in your heart!"
