607: Chapter 607 The Great Battle Begins!

They stood at the top of the city wall, looking down—

Below, on the plains outside the city, dense hordes of Vicious Beasts stretched as far as the eye could see, a dark mass surging towards the city wall like a tide.

In the sky, winged Vicious Beasts circled and shrieked; on the ground, clawed Vicious Beasts roared and charged.

Dust flew, and the earth trembled.

The beast tide was even fiercer than in the morning.

"Caw!"

An earth-shattering roar echoed across the entire battlefield, drawing the attention of Qin Yan and the others.

Everyone looked up, only to see two figures, one gold and one red, rapidly clashing in the high sky.

The golden figure was a massive peng bird, its wings spanning dozens of yards wide when spread, covered in golden feathers that shimmered with a metallic luster.

Its claws were sharp as hooks, its eagle eyes like electricity, and crackling golden lightning surrounded its body.

It was precisely one of the Four Great Vicious Beasts—the Golden-Winged Thunder Peng.

Opposite it, a red figure was entangled in battle.

That was a burly middle-aged man, clad in blood-colored battle armor, with a resolute face, holding a blood-colored long saber in his hand, his Qi and blood surging, emitting a fierce killing intent.

It was precisely the City Guard Army leader—City Guard Commander Zhao Tieyi.

The Golden-Winged Thunder Peng shimmered with golden light, its wings flapping, as golden lightning bolts shot out from its wings, like countless golden vipers, winding and slithering in the air, shooting towards City Guard Commander Zhao Tieyi!

Those lightning bolts were as thick as arms, tearing through the air wherever they passed!

Opposite it, City Guard Commander Zhao Tieyi's gaze was sharp, his Blood Bursting, as blood-colored Saber Qi slashed out!

That Saber Qi was incomparably sharp, each strike carrying a killing intent that could tear through anything, meeting the golden lightning!

However, the blood-colored Saber Qi was quickly shattered.

The power of the golden lightning was too terrifying; City Guard Commander Zhao Tieyi's Saber Qi was like paper in front of it, instantly torn apart and pulverized.

After shattering the Saber Qi, the golden lightning continued its momentum, attacking City Guard Commander Zhao Tieyi.

Seeing this, City Guard Commander Zhao Tieyi could only dodge.

His figure flickered rapidly in the air, narrowly avoiding those deadly lightning bolts.

But the Golden-Winged Thunder Peng was even faster.

It flapped its wings, its body transforming into a golden lightning bolt, moving at an astonishing speed, catching up to City Guard Commander Zhao Tieyi in the blink of an eye.

Lightning gathered on its claw, golden electric arcs leaping at the tips of its talons, emitting a heart-palpitating aura!

It swiped a claw, aiming directly for City Guard Commander Zhao Tieyi's face!

City Guard Commander Zhao Tieyi's expression changed, and he quickly raised his saber to block, but the Golden-Winged Thunder Peng's power was too great, its speed too fast. He instantly fell into a disadvantage, only able to passively defend, retreating step by step.

"This is the Golden-Winged Thunder Peng, one of the Four Great Vicious Beasts, and the one fighting it is City Guard Commander Zhao Tieyi, the City Guard Army leader."

Clan Chief Li Canghai of the Li Family stood on the city wall, watching the battle in the sky, speaking with a solemn expression.

"Not only that, but this Golden-Winged Thunder Peng is also the weakest of the Four Great Vicious Beasts. The Crimson Flame Magic Lion we will face later will be even stronger."

Clan Chief Zhao Yuanlang of the Zhao Family added.

Indeed, the great Vicious Beast that Qin Yan and his group were responsible for intercepting was the Crimson Flame Magic Lion.

Yin Li, Huang Jiuli, and Lu Qingshan were responsible for intercepting the Frost Giant Ape, because Huang Jiuli's flame power was domineering and could slightly suppress the Frost Giant Ape's ice power.

The last remaining great Vicious Beast, the Nine Nether Mysterious Snake, was handed over to Lin Ruoxi's team.

"Roar!"

At this moment, a lion's furious roar echoed from the beast tide below.

The sound was deep and violent, like muffled thunder rolling in the clouds, shaking the entire battlefield.

In the battle below, a majestic, giant lion appeared in the beast tide.

Its body was enormous, standing ten feet tall and over thirty feet long, covered in crimson mane, like burning flames.

Layers of flames burned on its body, the flames crimson as blood, scorching as the sun, distorting the surrounding air.

Its eyes were like two fireballs, emitting a scorching light;

The Crimson Flame Magic Lion, one of the Four Great Vicious Beasts, possessed the strength of a Half-Step Grandmaster and controlled terrifying flame power.

Its lion's maw opened, spewing out streams of fiery magma.

The magma was crimson and scorching, like liquid fire, melting the earth wherever it passed, leaving behind charred traces.

Wherever the fiery magma covered, Human Race Martial Artists turned to ash one after another, not even having time to scream.

Some were splashed by the magma, their bodies instantly igniting, struggling and rolling in the flames, eventually turning into charcoal;

Others were submerged by the magma, leaving no bones behind, directly evaporating.

In less than a moment, the area where the Crimson Flame Magic Lion was located transformed into a magma inferno.

The ground melted, and the air was scorched.

No Human Race Martial Artist dared to approach that area; those who did had already died.

"Young Master Qin Yan, the Crimson Flame Magic Lion has appeared. We'll trouble you all."

Zhao Qingyun spoke to Qin Yan, his voice carrying a mix of expectation and worry.

"City Lord, rest assured, we will handle this demon lion." Qin Yan said, his voice calm and firm.

After speaking, he led the remaining nine Formation Martial Artists and flew towards the area where the Crimson Flame Magic Lion was located.

The nine Formation Martial Artists followed behind Qin Yan, their expressions solemn, but their eyes also held a hint of determination.

And not long after Qin Yan left, the figures of the other two great Vicious Beasts also appeared in two other places on the battlefield.

A giant ape, entirely snow-white, several yards tall, covered in thick frost, exhaling cold Qi with every breath.

Its arms were as thick as pillars, its fists like boulders; with one punch, the ground cracked.

Wherever it passed, frost filled the sky, the air was frozen, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of frost.

Countless Human Race Martial Artists were frozen into ice sculptures, then smashed to pieces with a single punch.

That was the Frost Giant Ape, one of the Four Great Vicious Beasts, controlling terrifying ice power.

The other was a giant snake, entirely pitch-black, dozens of yards long, its body as thick as a water barrel, covered in dark, gloomy scales that emitted a faint cold light.

Its forked tongue flickered in and out, each time releasing a black poisonous mist.

Wherever it passed, poisonous Qi lingered, plants withered, and the earth was corroded.

Countless Human Race Martial Artists were enveloped by the poisonous mist, their faces turning black, blood flowing from their seven orifices, falling to the ground dead.

That was the Nine Nether Mysterious Snake, controlling terrifying poisonous mist power.

One after another, Human Race Martial Artists died before these two great Vicious Beasts, utterly powerless to resist.

Yin Li, Huang Jiuli, and Lu Qingshan flew towards the Frost Giant Ape.

Their figures streaked through the air; Yin Li held her zither, Huang Jiuli wielded her sword, and Lu Qingshan raised her shield. The three of them, in a triangular Formation, charged towards the white giant ape.

Lin Ruoxi, Su Qingwan, and Xiao Tianci also flew towards the Nine Nether Mysterious Snake.

Lin Ruoxi held her Seven-Star Sword, Sword Intent swirling around her; Su Qingwan still held her book, but her aura became sharp; Xiao Tianci held a long sword, his expression stern.
