Chapter 218: Chapter 218 Who Else But Me_1

"Alas."

Lin Ze sighed; he was very aware of Master Baiyun’s nature—in his eyes, the lives of ordinary people were as insignificant as ants.

Even ordinary martial artists didn’t mean much to him.

Unless one had the potential to ascend to the Transcendent Realm, they were considered worthless.

This was Master Baiyun’s viewpoint.

No one could change it.

Not even Lin Ze.

"Brother Lin, if there really isn’t a Transcendent Realm warrior, then let’s join forces. We’ll hold off as long as we can, and the others can flee as far as they’re able. There’s no hope left."

Qi Yuan looked at Lin Ze, his voice filled with sorrow and helplessness.

"Count me in as well."

The White Cloud Sect Leader also stepped forward.

Three great Ninth Layer Peak powerhouses, arguably the strongest among the Ninth Layer Peak Martial Masters—if the three of them couldn’t stop the Ferocious Beast, then everything was truly over.

A sense of despair spread among the defenders, and many even abandoned the idea of fleeing.

Faced with the pursuit of Ferocious Beasts, where could they run to, after all?

"Perhaps I can ask my master to take action."

Ling Xiao suddenly spoke up.

"You?"

The White Cloud Sect Leader said with a wry smile, "If it were Ming Tian or Zuo Leng, there might be a chance, but you, unfortunately, don’t stand one."

"I know my master looks down on me, but have you forgotten? Last time, the master lost a bet to Marshal Lin and promised to protect me once. Let’s use that today."

Ling Xiao explained.

"Are you sure you want to use it?"

The White Cloud Sect Leader asked in surprise, "The opportunity for a Transcendent Warrior to protect you once is extremely rare, even more important than any martial art at this stage. Are you really sure?"

"Sure,"

Ling Xiao said indifferently, "There’s no intact egg under a toppled nest. If Yunkong City falls, I am but a dog that has lost its home. No amount of protection will be enough."

"Lin Ze, what do you think?"

The White Cloud Sect Leader turned to Lin Ze, well aware that Lin Ze had given Ling Xiao this opportunity in the first place to preserve the talent that Ling Xiao possessed.

"If he’s decided, then that’s good."

All Lin Ze felt at that moment was pride.

Ling Xiao’s willingness to give up such an opportunity for Yunkong City was truly commendable.

"Alright, then Ling Xiao, what’s your plan? That’s a Ferocious Beast we’re dealing with, at the very least, it’s equivalent to a Level 1 Dangerous Beast, as strong as a Transcendent Warrior. It could easily wipe out an entire common kingdom!"

The White Cloud Sect Leader frowned, "Are you certain you can survive until your master comes to save you?"

"I’m not sure,"

Ling Xiao shook his head, speaking the truth. This decision was the most uncertain he had ever felt, but he was willing to try.

He didn’t hold any grandiose thoughts, he wasn’t trying to save the common people.

But he was well aware that once the Ferocious Beast broke through the city, the entire Baiyun Province would become a Mortal Purgatory.

Hong Qi, Ling Luo, Ling Yixue, Leng Mei, Ling Yihang, Lin Ze, and many others would die.

He was far too loyal.

He remembered for a lifetime anyone who had been even slightly kind to him.

Even if it was just for these people, he had to try.

Moreover, this was how he had always lived.

In the face of life and death, only then could one comprehend the true essence of martial arts.

This was a crisis, but it was also an opportunity.

For some unknown reason, a gust of wind suddenly began to blow on the mountain.

It wasn’t very strong, but it was cold.

An icy breeze swirled as the pitch-black wolf-shaped Ferocious Beast, at least three or four meters tall, slowly made its way forward.

Along the way, all the Monster Beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling in fear.

Martial artists of even slightly lesser cultivation levels were unable to control their legs, shaking all over, some even falling to their knees.

Awooo~~

The howl of the wolf rose once more.

Lin Ze, the White Cloud Sect Leader, Qi Yuan, and other Ninth Layer warriors stood at the forefront, forming a barrier to shield the countless martial artists from the terrifying howl.

The Ferocious Beast stopped howling, its eyes emitting a cold and indifferent light.

It looked disdainfully at the Ninth Layer strongholds.

Just this one look was enough to make all the Nine Layers powerhouses except for Lin Ze, the White Cloud Sect Leader, and Qi Yuan feel fear shaking their souls, as blood involuntarily seeped from the corners of their mouths.

It was terrifying!

This was the strength of a ferocious beast equivalent to a Transcendent Warrior!

"Lin Shuai, it was this creature who killed Shieryue!"

Suddenly, General Jiu Yue said with a pale face.

Dai Yuling was appointed as one of the Twelve Tiger Guards precisely because one of them had died in battle.

And that person was none other than Shieryue!

All along, the geniuses of the Hidden Dragon Camp were puzzled in their hearts, eager to know what had happened to Shieryue.

Today, Ling Xiao understood.

Shieryue was dead!

Killed by the ferocious beast before his eyes!

"I understand!"

Lin Ze’s voice was very calm.

Although his heart was filled with fury, it was useless to just be angry in the face of a ferocious beast. Everything had to depend on strength.

"Ling Xiao, listen! The three of us will attack with all our strength, and you take the opportunity to get close. The moment your life is threatened, Master will definitely take action. He is not one who breaks his promises," Lin Ze said while looking at Ling Xiao.

The reason he did this was just to reduce the probability of Ling Xiao’s death as much as possible.

Otherwise, if Ling Xiao were to attract the hatred all by himself, he would probably be slain by the wolf-shaped fierce beast on the spot.

"Understood!"

Ling Xiao nodded.

In that moment, anything else said was superfluous.

Charge!

Three figures shot out!

They were the strongest beings in Yunkong City, apart from Master Baiyun. If even they could not stop the wolf-shaped fierce beast, then they would have no choice but to place their hope on Master Baiyun.

"The rest of you set up defenses and prepare to hold the line to the death!"

General January took on the role of temporary commander.

He knew very well that Lin Ze and the other two alone could not stop the wolf-shaped fierce beast, and they had to prepare for the worst.

Desperation, when taken to the extreme, might actually make people more resolute.

Because if death was certain, then it would be better to die gloriously.

For these martial artists, it was just that simple truth.

They didn’t need to think too much.

Under General January’s command, everyone braced themselves for the battle. If the Green-eyed Clan invaders wanted to enter Yunkong City, they would have to step over their dead bodies.

It laughed.

The wolf-shaped fierce beast actually laughed.

But that was a mocking laugh.

Perhaps in its eyes, this was just a futile act of ants.

Lin Ze raised his sword, and then condensed a huge True Essence blade.

Phantom shadows flickered behind him, and the power of his Martial Soul was pushed to the extreme.

The phantoms of the Broken Souls behind the White Cloud Sect Leader and Qi Yuan kept flashing.

Their power was fully bestowed onto Lin Ze’s strike.

Three became one tiger!

Although the combined strength of these three men might not match the attack power of a Transcendent Warrior, it was much closer than if they attacked separately, and certainly much more effective.

The only pity was that since ancient times, the Human Race had never seen a complete Martial Soul—until Ling Xiao, the exception.

If it were the combination of complete Martial Souls, this attack would have been even stronger.

Terrifying power converged to a single point.

Lin Ze’s great sword had already swung down, and the terrifying force roared past.

Ling Xiao had a feeling that this strike, let alone himself, couldn’t possibly be blocked by any warrior below the Transcendent Realm.

Boom!

Before the blade even struck, the terrifying sword’s energy had already blanketed the ground, as if the earth around the wolf-shaped fierce beast were being hammered by meteors, collapsing incessantly.

In the face of such an attack, escaping was utterly impossible.
