Chapter 44: SHARPSHOOTER
When I arrive at the Southern gate with Duan Jian, the patriarch of the various family of Glory City except Shen Hong and Ye Zong are chatting with the patriarchs of the Dark Prison Realm. Looks like they aren't having problems when communicating with each other.
When I get near, the Dark Prison Realm patriarchs kneel in front of me, and welcome me. Every patriarchs there stares at me with disbelief as I forced a smile and ask them to stand up.
I then take out Solitario and look at the South direction and use my soul force to scan the surrounding. I can sense the presence of lots of aura headed here. There are approximately 35 millions Demon Beasts coming here and among them, there are 7 strong and huge overbearing auras, and 700 medium auras . There are still thirty minutes left before the Demon Beasts Horde arrive, and Ye Zong, Shen Hong and Ye Xiu arrive.
" Father-in-law. I can sense that there will be seven Legend Rank Demon Beast headed toward here with seven hundred Black Gold Rank Demon Beasts. " I said beside him, and when Shen Hong heard this, he sweats like pig.
" What's the matter? Are the patriarch of the almighty Sacred Family afraid of this kind of Demon Beast lineup? " I asked while grinning at him.
" Y.. You brat! " Shen Hong said in anger.
I then leave him, leaving the various patriarch holding their laughter. Even Ye Zong and Ye Xiu are grinning there.
Thirty minutes have passed and the roar of Demon Beasts can be heard.
" Ooh!! How energetic! " I said as I put my hand on my eyebrow and looked at the Horde.
" What are you guys doing? How long are we going to wait? " Shen Hong shouted toward the other patriarchs.
" If your hands are itching for blood, then go there alone. " I said.
" Shut up brat! Who gave you permission to speak with me. " Shen Hong snorted.
I then just shrug my shoulder and Ye Zong ordered the patriarchs to stand still.
" City Lord. You must take action or else the Demon Beast Horde will breach this wall. " Shen Hong urges.
" Heh. No need to rush. We just need to wait them to reach the wall. " Ye Zong smiled.
Shen Hong just stand there and he doesn't even talk anymore.
' Hmm. Looks like the Snow Wind Demon Beasts are entering the first defense line, which is four miles away from the wall. ' I thought as lots of Demon Beast suddenly fell down on a huge pit and flame rises from the pit, burning the Snow Wind Demon Beasts inside and created wall of flames.
I then pull the bow and used normal arrow with fire on the tip and shoot to the two trenches when the Snow Wind Demon Beasts start dispersing, creating another wall of flames that surrounds the pit of flames, causing the splitting demon beasts groups to gather into one group again and some of them are swallowed by the flames on the process of gathering. Just utilizing this two defense line have slain over tens thousands of Demon Beasts, and among the dead Demon Beasts, there are around twenty Black Gold Rank Demon Beasts.
When they are closing their distance to three miles, fire erupted beneath the ground and created chain explosions, causing the Demon Beasts to be blown away and blasted to smithereens. After they pass the second line of defense, their number have dropped by 3 millions, and the explosion succeeded in killing another one hundred Black Gold Rank Demon Beasts. I take a glance at Shen Hong and his face is pale as he saw the Demon Beasts get wiped out just by the traps. And after 2 hours of explosion, another 2 millions died, and they continue their advance.
" Now! " I shouted as I throw the bamboo that is made by the Alchemist Association when the Demon Beasts get closer to the city wall, and the guards also throw the bamboo.
" Cheh. What can a mere bamboo do to th.... " Shen Hong snorted, but when he sees the Demon Beasts attacking each other, he knitted his brows, seemingly baffled by the Demon Beasts action.
I laugh as I am throwing the bamboo after I heard his statement, followed by baffled expression and awkward silence.
All of the guards exclaimed in surprise and astonishment as they usually need to work together to kill a single Gold Ranked Demon Beast, but with this bamboo, they don't need to dirty their hand as the Demon Beast kills each other.
Well, the poison Nie Li made in the manga is impressive, but mine is even better, since Nie Li's poison cause them to attack each other randomly, but mine cause them to recognize poisoned Demon Beast as ' ally ' and the unaffected one as ' enemy '.
Six hours have passed as they attack each other and we ran out of bamboo already, and their numbers have been reduced severely from thirty millions to fifteen millions, and there are even more Black Gold Rank Demon Beasts that are killed when the riot happened.
" ROAR!!! " Loud roars can be heard, and the gold rank and silver rank Demon Beasts retreat and the 500 Black Gold Rank Demon Beasts start sprinting toward the City Wall.
' Hmm. So the Legend Rank Demon Beasts is making an action now eh? So the Black Gold Rank will charge directly eh! ' I thought, and I grinned as I disappear and reappear 3 miles in front of the gate.
Some guard notice that I am gone and suddenly in front of the gate, they all get anxious and start screaming and tell me to get back above the wall. The patriarchs of various family are also starting to get anxious.
" Chen LinJian! What are you doing? Are you having a dead wish? " Ye Zong shouted.
" Jian'er hurry up and get back here! " Chen ZhengLong also shouted.
" City Lord, Lord Patriarch. They will charge at the wall, so I need to do this." I said as I prepare Solitario and my Knight's Lance.
" Heh. A brat trying to act as strong eh? " Shen Hong snorted.
Without minding Shen Hong's word, I get into a kyūdō stance and take out a Knight's Lance.
" Did this kid hit his head this morning? Why would he take out a bow and a huge weapon like that? Is he going to shoot that huge thing using the bow? " Shen Hong ridicules me, but he is silenced by my father's glare.
" You need to shut your mouth and watch him. Do you even dare stand there alone and fight those Black Gold Ranked Beasts? " Chen ZhengLong snorted.
" Y.. You! " Shen Hong wanted to oppose Chen ZhengLong, but he doesn't dare to, since Ye Zong is there watching him, and the patriarch's stand become silent.
" Look! The Black Gold Rank Demon Beasts are falling one after another! " exclaimed a guard breaking the silence.
The patriarchs then look at the Demon Beasts Horde and witness the scene of ten Black Gold Rank Demon Beasts are lying on the ground with hole on their chest.
" What happened? " Shen Hong asked as he sweats.
" Looks like this is LinJian's doing. " Ye Zong said as he looked at me shooting nonstop.
" What the? Are my eyes fooling me? " Shen Hong said as he rubbed his eyes, because he witness the huge lance become a long and thin arrow when coming into contact with bow, and when I release it, it just disappears and the Black Gold Rank Demon Beasts collapsed not long after that.
" Look! He is going to shoot three of those thing! " exclaimed a guard as I take out three lances and touched them with Solitario, and made the three lances into three arrow.
" Scatter ! " I shouted as I release the three arrows, and the three arrows become rays of light and pierce the Black Gold Demon Beasts again.
" This is absurd! How can a kid defeat Black Gold Rank Demon Beasts easily like th.. I see. It must be the treasure he is using now. Cheh! To think that this brat dares to act big and stand there just because of treasure. " Shen Hong snorted.
" Well. Even if Sacred Family have such treasure, they wouldn't use it like this right? " Chen ZhengLong provocatively said.
" ... " Shen Hong could just look at Chen ZhengLong without saying any word.
" Lord patriarch. I have slain 450 Black Gold Rank Demon Beasts. I need to rest and recover my soul force, since I have exhausted a lot of soul force using the bow. " I said as I suddenly appear and kneeled in front of Chen ZhengLong.
" En. Good job son. Leave the rest to us. " Chen ZhengLong said as he takes out the great sword.
' Damn. That sword is glowing like crazy! ' I thought when I saw Chen ZhengLong's sword, which is glowing and emits pure white light.
" Go! " Ye Zong shouted, and then Ye Xiu, Chen ZhengLong, HuYan Xiong, Shen Hong and the other families patriarchs stepped out and hold the Black Gold Rank Demon Beasts.
Ye Zong, Ye Xiu, Chen ZhengLong, HuYan Xiong, and Xiao Yunfeng could singlehandedly take care of 8 Black Gold Rank Demon Beasts, while Duan Jian is handling 7 Black Gold Rank Demon Beasts.
Shen Hong could only spectate them and trembles in fear, noticing that the five figure in front of him could fight multiple Black Gold Rank Demon Beasts alone.
" What is happening? How could they fight the multiple Black Gold Rank Demon Beasts alone? Have they broken through Legend Rank? How come I don't know about this! " Shen Hong curses as he struggle to fight a single Black Gold Ranked Snow Wind Ape.
' Hehehe. Old fox. I wonder how long you can fight the Snow Wind Ape alone. ' I thought as I looked at Shen Hong's pale face while fighting against the Snow Wind Ape.
" Take this! Sacred Flaming Condor! Flaming Pillars! " Shen Hong shouted as he merges with his Sacred Flaming Condor and creates pillars of flame tornadoes headed toward the Snow Wind Ape, but to no avail as his flame pillars couldn't even burn a single hair on the ape's body.
" *sigh. Such useless and overestimating old fox. " I said as I sighed in disappointment and take out a Lance and aim at the Snow Wind Ape's head.
*Fwisp. The lance is released and break the Ape's head, and Shen Hong is baptized with the Snow Wind Ape's blood and brain pieces.
" Patriarch Shen. I think you need to go home and clean yourself. Don't worry! We can manage to guard the gate without your Sacred Family here. " I shouted as I shoot the remaining 2 Demon Beasts and slain all the Black Gold Ranked Demon Beasts.
Shen Hong could only clench his fist thus resulting cracking sound before he leaves.
" Jian'er. I just realized that you are such a bully! " Chen ZhengLong whispers as he reappeared beside me.
" Haha. That is already kind enough for this city's betrayer. " I said lowly while laughing.
" Looks like we need to take action tomorrow. " Ye Zong said as he reappears beside me.
" En. The sooner the better. And I hope to keep someone alive. " I said while grinning evilly.
" Hmm. Who is it? " Ye Zong asked.
" That womanizer Shen Fei. " I said.
" Why do you want to kee.. " ' ROAR!!!' Chen ZhengLong wants to say something,but the roar of the Legend Rank Demon Beasts interrupted.
" Now what! " Ye Zong cursed as he look at the Demon Beasts direction and stare in amazement.
The Silver and Gold Rank demon beasts hold a boulder on their shoulder, while the 7 Legend Ranks are raising the largest boulder on their shoulder.
" Hmm. The boulder that the Legend Rank is carrying will be quite a headache if it hits us. " I said nonchalantly.
" Then do you have any idea? " Ye Zong asked.
" Tell the patriarchs to prepare and intercept the stone that the Legend Rank is holding, and tell the guards to take out ballistas as many as they could. " I said.
