“Well, sure enough, I didn’t expect the Rat King and Digging Insect Fiend would run into each other and begin a conflict. Both of them are very vengeful and have vengeful tendencies. If these two encounter each other, they will never give in until one of them dies. No matter which one of these beasts win or lose, it will be a huge benefit for me and the whole Xuan Huang Village.”
Yi Tianxing couldn’t be helped but be filled with joy.
This is a pleasant surprise. An absolutely unexpected fortunate turn of events.
This kind of accident is a great fortune to Xuan Huang Village. Maybe this event can kill two birds with one stone and solve these two powerful enemies for the village in one stroke.
“It seems my Xuan Huang Village will not face its demise. If not for their encounter, the Golden Rat King and his swarm will burrow out from underground and kill everyone in the village. I’m afraid all of the people in Xuan Huang Village would have suffered unspeakable harm or be completely wiped out. After that, it will be difficult to raise another village again. The wisdom of this Rat King is not low. Unfortunately, it did not plan on meeting the Digging Insect Fiend while burrowing underground to Xuan Huang Village. These rats are unworthy of Heaven’s fortune.”
Yi Tianxing said with a sneer, while the killing intent in his eyes was growing stronger and stronger.
This is really divine providence. The Heavens will never stop his rise, and Destiny Aura can help tide over his possible dangers in the future.
With the emergence of the Golden Rat King, it immediately caused the rats outside the valley to go into a frenzy. One by one they charged into the valley with red eyes to fight with their leader without hesitation. Apparently, they want to rush into the valley to join their Rat King.
“Wanting to rush past without first asking whether I consent?! Kill!!”
Yi Tianxing strode forward as he said.
His eyes flashed black and white. In a twinkling of an eye, eight Yin and Yang Locks appeared directly in front of his body. In the first instance, they separated into 648 Yin and Yang Rings and flashed with black and white-coloured lights. As they launched toward the swarm of rats with incomparable precision, each rat caught by a ring fell while screeching. Immediately, a large number of ferocious rats were on the ground rolling while screeching wildly.
“Kill them brothers, follow our lord and kill them all…!” Wang Dahu shouted loudly. With a wave of his hand, he split a rat rolling on the ground in two. After becoming a cultivator, his power underwent a great transformation. Compared to before, his power has increased several folds. Now he can feel an almost infinite amount of force when wielding his knife.
“Come on! Our Lord is shielding us from the wind and rain by blocking the front! The power of these rats has been completely suppressed by our Lord’s magical ability! If we cannot even kill such weak rats, then we cannot call ourselves soldiers but farts!” A soldier roared out. Holding a stick in hand, the soldiers smashed them down onto the rats. These strikes broke through the skulls, bursting the grey brain matter out. Watching the scene play out was simply a dreadful sight to behold.
The number of Yin and Yang Rings was also increasing. Now, more than 600 rings have crushed and suppressed these rats before the soldiers. On the battlefield, they are almost completely invincible. The soldiers’ circumstances are even more favourable with Yi Tianxing’s magical ability helping them deal with the rats in front. In addition, after the rats were suppressed, more than three hundred soldiers rushed from behind to immediately kill all the rats which fell on the spot. The soldiers killed the rats with great efficiency, almost killing all the suppressed rats in a few breaths. All the Yin and Yang Rings brought back the rat souls in quick succession into the Yin and Yang eyes.
However, the number of rats that rushed over was simply too many to kill. The soldiers were still fighting head-on with all their might against these innumerable foes.
In the face of such a dense swarm of rats. Even with more than three hundred soldiers fighting back-to-back against a common enemy, wounds were still constantly appearing on the soldiers’ bodies.
The battle raged on as the Yin and Yang Rings kept flying out. Time and again, the rat offensive was forcibly suppressed. Even with only about three hundred people in the face of thousands of ferocious rats. These soldiers forcibly suppressed all the attacks from the rat swarm. In addition, the number of rats that can rush through the passage are not much. This valley passage has blocked most of the rat population from swarming in.
Some rats have escaped the blockade and are rushing towards the position of Xuan Huang Village.
Someone spotted the rats while these rats saw a large number of villagers gathered in a clearing as well. These rats showed shining bloodthirsty eyes and were ready to run past to fiercely cull these people down.
“No, we can’t let these rats rush in! Men, pick up your tools and go up to defend the village together! We men must be the first ones to die!” A villager yelled.
“Come on, the village head has blocked most of the rats in front of us. These are just fish that have escaped the net. We are not cowards without eggs! We must not let the villagers behind us look down upon us!” Someone else yelled.
In the village, the elders stood up one by one under the memorial archway of Xuan Huang Village with their hearts unhindered. They stared fiercely at the incoming rats, picking up all kinds of weapons such as hoes, wooden sticks and axes.
Although it had only been less than two days since entering the beginning of this new era. They have been completely aroused by the cruelty of this era. In particular, Yi Tianxing has taken the helm of their leader in the front. In the face of these fierce beasts and monsters, the people no longer have a fear death. This era has thoroughly stimulated the ferocity that has been suppressed in their bones for countless years.
These soldiers come from a nest of bears. What kind of nest will produce these soldiers? What kind of leader will lead these people to become so fierce?
Even Yi Tianxing as the leader personally rushed to the front with no scruples about his own life or death. Not only were the soldiers inspired by this, but even the villagers in the village were also greatly stimulated. One by one, their blood was rolling and boiling while all their spines stood straight.
One by one they stood united. Even if they held some fears in the back of their hearts, these people did not fall back and retreat!
Whoosh!!
However, before the rats could rush over to fight these villagers. The people saw the two Arrow Towers standing tall in the village. These towers directly attacked the rats, and they scattered after they felt their first life and death crisis. From the Arrow Towers, black bolts kept flashing out bursts of lightning which struck down. These strikes killed the huge rats, accurately penetrating the body of these beasts and causing bloody flowers to bloom beautifully. After these black bolts passed through the bodies and nailed the rats to the ground, these bolts turned into spots of black light and naturally dissipated into the void. But these black spots which were created after striking down the rats seemed to contain a strange magical rhyme. These black spots of light began covering the bodies of the rats which were shot dead.
This is not a true crossbow bolt, but an energy bolt that is condensed by the Arrow Towers through Heaven and Earth Origin Qi in a unique manner. The moment these bolts launched, they will naturally begin dissipating in a short time. Returning the energy to Heaven and Earth as it dissipates. The Arrow Tower themselves contain a miraculous pool of energy which gathers Heaven and Earth Origin Qi to condense more bolts.
But at present, the Arrow Tower is only at yellow rank so the bolt box can only hold nine bolts at this time. That is to say, it can only shoot nine bolts continuously like a shower of thunder strikes. However, after one volley, the Arrow Towers need to be given a breath of time to recharge and condense more bolts in the bolt box. Basically, one breath can condense one energy bolt.
If the bolts shoot one by one and shoot only one bolt in one breath of time, then the Arrow Tower can shoot continuously.
This point, to a larger extent, is no different from having a sharpshooter that can fire shots continuously.
As the two Arrow Towers fired at the same time. In an instant, all the bolts in the original bolt box were gone. All 18 bolts were used up to shoot down the ferocious rats. When the rats were shot dead, at the same time, the bodies of the rats mysteriously disappeared from the clearing. These bodies were silently moved into the Arrow Tower in order to be absorbed and refined by it.
After this, the bolts continued firing. One bolt for one breath.
Each shot fired harvested a rat’s life.
The firing speed was not slow. The originally small and sporadic number of escaped fish had unexpectedly been shot dead by the Arrow Towers. These rats couldn’t even come near the village before being killed off.
“What wonderful and powerful Arrow Towers!!” A villager exclaimed.
“This was a treasure taken out by our village head. It is so powerful. The rats couldn’t even come near our village at all. They were shot dead in their tracks before even arriving at the village entrance. However, after killing these rats, their bodies have gone missing. It seems these Arrow Towers have consumed the monsters.” Another person said.
“We are safe now. With these Arrow Tower in our village, I feel so safe. These rats can’t come near us at all.” A villager cried out.
These men had been prepared to defend the village until death as well as the old, weak, women and children behind them. All the villagers who had witnessed the scene showed expressions of joy and excitement when seeing their guardian towers. These two Arrow Towers are the villagers’ most trusted guardians now.
Squeak!!
At this moment, the fight between the Golden Rat King and Digging Insect Fiend has reached a scorching hot point in the valley clearing.
The Golden Rat King is extremely fast and moves like a golden light. As it moves, it leaves behind a series remnant phantoms. If there was any creature behind these phantoms, they will absolutely be torn to shreds. But the Digging Insect Fiend is even more frightening, with a mouthful of concentrated sulfuric acid, it sprays out an acid-like heavy rain. If any drop falls upon a body, the flesh will be completely corroded in an instant. Leaving no bones left behind.
The rat swarm surrounded and besieged the Digging Insect Fiend with the Rat King. These rats suffered heavy casualties under the sulfuric acid sprays, leaving no bodies and only pools of acid.
Moreover, the Digging Insect Fiend’s thick carapace was also difficult to harm with the rats trying to scratch and claw the surface with their paws. But all their attempts at attacks were just directly bounced off. These rats couldn’t even tear the skin of their deadly foe. On the contrary, in the process of fighting, the paws were scalded giving off a meaty aroma.
Only when the Golden Rat King’s paw fell and struck the Digging Insect Fiend, will its flesh be torn apart. The wounds from the ferocious strikes had shed crimson blood of the Digging Insect Fiend. But these wounds were superficial and healed in a twinkling of an eye. Small wounds were unlikely to pose a fatal threat to it at all.
However, the Golden Rat King is so fast that even the sulfuric acid sprays cannot possibly land onto it.
These sprays just caused the surroundings to gain many pits and potholes.
However, under this kind of intense fighting, these two fierce beasts aroused their anger and were even more frenzied while fighting with each other.
All Yi Tianxing and the soldiers could see was when the Digging Insect Fiend realized it was unable to deal with the Golden Rat King. The Digging Insect Fiend then ignored the Rat King’s harassment and turned around to deal with the surrounding rat swarm. The Rat King moved like a golden flash and continued pouncing fiercely on the Digging Insect Fiend’s head with its mung bean-like eyes.
Poof!!
From the Golden Rat King’s eyes, the group can see that two golden divine lights burst out just like some spiritual essence. These divine lights were only a few inches long, which looked a bit funny. But these lights could fly out of each eye like two hidden golden weapons as they instantly stabbed into the Digging Insect Fiend’s head.
Magical Power Ability—Eye of the Rat!!
Destiny Aperture—Optical Inch!!
This attack can only be used in a short-range. At least with Rat King’s current capabilities, it can only be used in short-range combat. This explosive force was truly as fast as lightning. Not even in a breath’s time had passed when the strike landed on the Digging Insect Fiend’s head. The Digging Insect Fiend can already feel the terrible edge coming from these two golden lights.
This strike can absolutely and effortlessly cut gold and jade!!
The Digging Insect Fiend turned its head in an instant and directly faced the Golden Rat King. It took a big gulp of air and sprayed a mouthful of sulfuric acid at the Golden Rat King… When the Digging Insect Fiend had sprayed at the Golden Rat King, the acid swept over it and directly covered the Golden Rat King’s head.
