Chapter 1211 - Mounted Goddess of War
"Is that a horse?" Tianming squinted.
The beauty of the wargodeans, Zhan Yingying, saw them. Her eyes glowed as she charged toward Tianming with her fellow giants. Their golden hair made them look like flashes of gold light. They came running, swift and forceful like golden-maned horses.
According to the Azuresoul Palace's information, Zhan Yingying was a third-level constellier. Tianming would be worried about facing off against so many people if he was still at the ninth level of the Ascension stage, but now he was expressionless. He scanned them with his Plundering Eye and saw that her brother, Zhan Yuance, wasn't nearby.
"There were around three hundred wargodeans with Zhan Yuance back then. Now, there's around a hundred with Zhan Yingying. Did they split up?"
Either way, Tianming wouldn't let her off now that Zhan Yuance wasn't there. He also noticed that she held a wardrum formation. In other words, she was using it to locate the Whitedragon Palace, much like he had found the Blackdragon Palace back then. This time, though, he had arrived before they did.
"Tianming, her brother isn’t around. If we capture her, we might be able to get the Lifesteal Silverdragon back," Yu Ziqian said, knowing that all of them had grown stronger.
"Alright." Tianming made his decision. They charged toward the approaching wargodeans head-on. As long as they didn't stop, the dragon golems would follow them from behind.
"Strike!"
Apart from Yu Ziqian, who was grabbing tightly on Meow Meow's fur, the rest attacked. Zhan Yingying felt her rage building when she saw that they weren't running. "Deal with them. They might still have the grandpath fiend pill."
Her sharp eyes immediately detected a cold, black-haired woman behind Tianming wielding a bow that struck fear into her heart. Both the bow and its bloody arrow looked like a blood-colored dragon. The terror from the grade-seven divine pattern in the bow, the bloodgorge dragonmark, was something that could be felt from far away. "That's... that’s the Dragonblood Desecration!"
It was yet another top-tier divine artifact, and it was clear that Xiaoxiao had absorbed the exalted blood. For a no-name like her to be so fortunate drove Zhan Yingying absolutely mad. "Take it! Take it!"
Hundreds of people and beasts were within the same pathway. Lions, tigers, panthers and the like, all glowing gold, ferociously charged out and unleashed so many abilities that threatened to drown the four of them. Zhan Yingying put away the wardrum formation and took out her thick, three-meter-long spear, Titanic Aurum. However, it wasn't something that could be compared with a grade-seven divine artifact.
As she charged, a set of golden armor formed on her body, complete with war boots, war skirt, helmet, and shoulder guards. All of them were covered in divine patterns, being individually forged grade-four divine artifacts. Her fully equipped form was incredibly domineering; clad in all that armor, her tall and fierce build made her stand out even more.
She was mounted on a three-meter-tall golden warhorse that was covered entirely in dragon scales and had a black single horn covered in golden flames. When Zhan Yingying mounted it, the two of them seemed to move as one body. Lifebound beast and master worked together and formed a constellation that further boosted their fighting prowess. Though it looked small, compared to other gargantuan lifebound beasts beside it, it was no doubt the strongest of all of them with more than four thousand and six hundred stars. All of that power was even more terrifying when compacted into a small form factor.
It was but one of Zhan Yingying's lifebound beasts. She had three other gigantic golden horses about the size of Lan Huang, though their star counts were inferior to the one she mounted. They were normal saintcrystal unicorns, while the smaller one was a saintcrystal regal unicorn. They all formed what looked like an entire cavalry unit, with their leader sacrificing its physical size to better fit Zhan Yingying. While they might not individually be that powerful, their force and momentum as a unit was something to be reckoned with. Most people of the same level weren't able to defeat this goddess of war. Despite being the smallest, the saintcrystal regal unicorn made the most commotion during its charge.
"Die!" Zhan Yingying aimed her golden spear at Tianming, completely ignoring Yu Ziqian. She wasn't aware of how he had managed to suppress Lan Feilin at the Silverdragon Palace, having only witnessed him sit on the sidelines at the Blackdragon Palace and heard rumors of his incompetence. "Crush them!" Her gallant war cry stoked the morale of the rest of the wargodeans, who joined in the charge.
Meow Meow was currently running around in its Regal Chaosfiend form, with Ying Huo and Lan Huang at its flank. Lan Huang howled with joy and anticipation; it loved direct clashes like these and accelerated like a mad dog. As the enemies' abilities came flying, Ying Huo, Meow Meow, and the Archaionfiend unleashed all they had. Their abilities were unparalleled even against hundreds of other lifebound beasts.
The clashing abilities caused a lot of dust to be beaten up. With everyone’s visibility obscured, Lan Huang was the first to charge through the dust toward a golden knight followed by three gigantic war horses.
"Cowards like you who only know how to run dare to charge me directly?!" she said arrogantly, glaring mockingly at Lan Huang's head, upon which Tianming stood with the Grand-Orient Sword raised, ready for a confrontation. Using the momentum of her charge, Zhan Yingying executed Goldbreak Pierce, and her constellation took the form of countless golden meteors. "Kneel!"
Though she was domineering and powerful, she still oozed dignified femininity. Her figure was gallant and pristine.
Too bad Tianming was an equal-opportunity offender.
