Chapter 77 - 77 73 Charge Forward!_1
77: Chapter 73: Charge Forward!_1 77: Chapter 73: Charge Forward!_1 The former City Lord of Trisan City, Sun Heng, initiated the first eradication campaign against the fierce beasts.
As he met his death on Erect Brush Peak, his last thoughts were of the second eradication.
He peeled off his human skin and covered his son with it over the Kun skin drum, all for the sake of this very moment.
And his wife, Dou Yuemei, carried on his last wish, taking over his position as City Lord as well as the enormous burden on his shoulders.
Could he have closed his eyes at the summit of Erect Brush Peak?
The murderer rock bees at the foot of Jade Balance Peak, which had stumped generations of cultivators, would become history today.
And everyone before Jade Balance Peak at this moment bore witness to it.
Sun Xiaoman was crying inconsolably, she always felt frustrated with her brother, thinking he had been spoiled into worthlessness by their mother after their father’s death.
But for that very reason, she knew how much her brother feared pain and how timid he was.
Yet he was so obedient.
The stingers of the murderer rock bees were both venomous and fierce, causing severe pain with just one sting.
What kind of agony would it be from such dense stings?
“Your father favored you too much, so I had to love to Xiaoyan.” Dou Yuemei spoke and paused, apparently struggling to control her emotions, her voice choked with a sob, “You always say that Mother is biased, but do you think Mother wants to be?”
“Mother!
Let me go back, please let me go back…
Wah wah wah…
I’m going to die of pain!”
Waves of murderer rock bees were destroyed, wave after wave of stings assaulted him.
Sun Xiaoyan cried until his voice went hoarse, he was after all just a thirteen-year-old child.
“Mother!
Sister!” he cried and screamed.
Suddenly, Dou Yuemei shouted loudly, “Sun Xiaoyan, turn around and charge forward!”
“Don’t forget whose skin you’re wearing!”
“Your father never retreated!”
She seemed to use all her strength to shout, so much so that her figure wobbled after she finished.
What nobody expected happened.
Sun Xiaoyan really turned around.
He cried loudly as he moved forward.
He was brave, yet fearful.
He wept and hurt, yet he shouted and ran.
Everyone watched silently at this scene.
Watching this chubby boy charge alone into the murderer rock bees.
Before this, despite witnessing the desperate valor of Trisan City’s cultivators, Jiang Wang truly had trouble understanding what the overrun of fierce beasts meant for this city.
He began to have a vague understanding now.
“I want to figure out where these fierce beasts come from?”
Only by knowing the origin of the fierce beasts, how they reproduce, where the source lies, could there be a chance for their complete eradication.
“Who knows?” said Li Jianqiu.
With each rock cave being cleared, Sun Xiaoyan stumbled along, enduring the whole of ten hours, from daylight to dusk, as the cultivators tasked with clearing the murderer rock bees rotated in over ten shifts.
The once densely terrifying murderer rock bees had finally become sparse.
By then, Sun Xiaoyan could no longer cry out, and his chubby body slumped down like a lump of mud.
Dou Yuemei rushed over immediately and carried her son back.
Feeling his warmth, touching his heartbeat.
Kissing his forehead, wiping away his tears.
“Charge forward!
Sweep through Jade Balance Peak!”
She ordered through gritted teeth.
The entire Dao Institute of Trisan City, from teachers to students, from the dean to newcomers, all the cultivators joined the operation, totaling two hundred and eighty-seven people.
Plus nearly a hundred cultivators from the City Guard Army of Trisan City.
They all volunteered for the mission, refusing the reward.
And the cultivators from various places attracted by the high bounty amounted to more than a hundred people.
More than five hundred cultivators, under unified command, advanced in batches toward Jade Balance Peak.
All kinds of Dao Technique burst forth with colorful flames, leaving shattered rocks, broken trees, and fierce beasts’ corpses on their path, shaping the mountain trail.
Meanwhile, Sun Xiaoyan had fallen fast asleep in Dou Yuemei’s arms.
He was too exhausted.
…
Jiang Wang was amidst the cultivators on the charge; their squad had been scattered, each fighting independently.
Over a dozen brightly shining lamps produced by the Mo Family floated in midair, illuminating the entirety of Jade Balance Peak as if it were daytime.
By now, Dou Yuemei had taken over command, organizing the cultivators mainly from the Three Mountains Dao Academy into five divisions.
Then, each team took turns unleashing their Dao Technique, steadily advancing the front line up the mountain.
Of course, some experts were given the freedom to act independently.
Like Li Jianqiu, who summoned waves of red tide with his sword, or Sun Xiaoman, who wielded a pair of Shock Mountain hammers, leaving nothing but pulp in his path.
And that mysterious woman from Yun Country, who seemed to grasp at the sky, pulling down dark clouds to transform into various mystical animals, battling fiercely with the beasts.
Such mysterious methods were beyond anything Jiang Wang had ever seen; she was equivalent to an entire team by herself.
The progress of the clearance looked very promising, and it was going smoothly.
But Jiang Wang couldn’t shake off the unease in his heart.
If the beast nest was only of this level, how did Sun Heng die in battle?
How was it that Wu Shan’s squad was completely annihilated back then, leaving only Li Jianqiu?
Though Jade Balance Peak was not as treacherous as High Straight Peak, it was larger in size, and consequently, it housed more fierce beasts.
As they approached halfway up the mountain, Dou Yuemei also visibly grew more cautious.
“Team Yi, retreat and rest; Team Bing and Team Ding, take the front; Team Wu and Team Jia, prepare for casting your spells!”
For the first time, she simultaneously commanded two teams to lead the charge, and she proactively shortened the rest time for the other two teams.
Soon, everyone understood why.
“Eeee!
Eeee!”
“Goo, goo, goo…”
One sharp, the other deep; the two distinct calls echoed through the night at the same time.
A two-headed monster eagle, like a streak of lightning, screamed as it approached.
Its wingspan, over ten meters across, made it seem as if the night itself was in motion.
Yin Yang Two-headed Eagle!
Almost simultaneously with its appearance, the fierce beasts near the middle of Jade Balance Peak began to riot.
Their eyes reddened, and their savage nature was stirred to a fever pitch.
The two hundred cultivators of Teams Bing and Ding felt immense pressure as soon as they took the forefront.
The screeches of the Yin Yang Two-headed Eagle, once started, would continue until the end of the battle.
Previously, Sun Heng had fought through the tide of beasts and climbed to the summit of High Straight Peak, where he killed a fierce beast like this one, but he himself was exhausted to the point of death after slaying the Yin Yang Two-headed Eagle.
Yet now, at Jade Balance Peak, such a fierce beast appeared merely halfway up the mountain.
Dou Yuemei’s heart sank.
But in front of everyone, she could not show it.
So with both hands, she raised a towering stone wall that stretched around the circumference of Jade Balance Peak!
This was the Dao Technique power displayed by a Peak of Soaring Dragon Realm powerhouse.
The towering stone wall firmly blocked the horde of fierce beasts, buying time for the unprepared cultivator troops to adjust.
But the fierce beasts had gone mad.
A unicorn-like beast ran wildly, slamming its head into the wall.
Its horn broke off, and it was bloodied and injured, yet it disregarded the pain and charged again using its broken horn!
Such madness!
Back then at High Straight Peak, it was this sudden and insane outburst from the horde of beasts that caused the defense line to collapse.
Would history repeat itself now?
“Immortal Ye, I need more mystical animals to create a buffer!” Dou Yuemei shouted.
The mystical animal secret technique of that Yun Country cultivator was the right choice for the moment.
Otherwise, they would have to fill the gap with their own lives.
The veiled, mysterious cultivator’s fingers flew, summoning tigers, leopards, bears, oxen…
This burst of power produced a hundred beasts, as mystical animals fell from the sky and clashed with the fierce beasts.
However, there were too many fierce beasts!
The continuous, dense and frenzied onslaught reached a tipping point at that moment; the stone wall that stretched around Jade Balance Peak completely collapsed!
Beasts surged like a tide, charging fiercely toward them.
The Yun Country cultivator was powerful, but clearly lacked experience, or perhaps she relied too much on the wall’s defense and misjudged the duration it could withstand.
After giving her all in that previous wave, she was now out of breath!
