Chapter 1487: Chapter 1205: Arrival
Xu Hengjiang took over and said, "Good thing Master Yang set up this Sea Roar Formation early for us, or we wouldn’t have been able to hold on for long!"
"Yes indeed!"
"Thanks to Master Yang, not only is she so beautiful, but her expertise in array formations is also incredibly high!"
The members of the Storm Alliance all expressed their heartfelt admiration.
Master Yang Aoshan of the Qingming Palace’s Array Hall, although young, her mastery of the Array Path surpasses many seasoned Seventh Level Array Masters. Her talent in array barriers is truly astounding!
Not just the Storm Alliance, but also the Shuiyun Alliance, Sea King Gang, and other factions in the Western Desert, all had their respective Seventh Level Arrays personally set up by Yang Aoshan and the team from the Qingming Palace’s Array Hall, adjusting to local conditions.
This is also one of the main reasons why the Western Desert sects have been able to easily repel multiple beast tides.
However, this time, the beast tide came exceptionally fierce...
As Xu Hengjiang pondered, there was a constant roar in the front, the city walls shaking incessantly. It was the Wind Thunder Ape and other Demon Beasts bypassing the array and Star Energy Weapons’ attacks, charging up close and launching a fierce assault on the city walls.
"These damned beasts!"
Xu Hengjiang snorted coldly, wanting to leap out, but was stopped by Wu Ming, Jing Chenghui, and others: "Alliance Leader Xu, your injuries haven’t healed...!"
At the end of the speech, Xu Hengjiang clutched his chest with a muffled groan.
He then lifted his head and looked towards the depths of the many Demon Beasts, at a gigantic ape dozens of meters tall, its whole body like rugged mountain rock — the Legendary Star Beast of the Three Suns Realm, the Giant Mountain Ape!
Earlier, at the start of the beast tide, Xu Hengjiang had already led his men to attack the numerous Demon Beasts. The reason he got injured was precisely due to this powerful Giant Mountain Ape from a distance!
Not only is its strength immense and defense astonishing, but more importantly, its talent gives it more than ninety percent resistance to energy attacks!
The killing move Xu Hengjiang prided himself on, when landed on this Giant Mountain Ape, only managed to blacken a portion of its rugged, rock-like skin. In contrast, he was slapped hard enough to tear his flesh and overturn his blood, sustaining internal injuries on the spot!
Fortunately, even at the cost of injury, Xu Hengjiang relied on the Broken Wave Blade crafted by Lord Bai of the Qingming Palace to sever the tendons of this Giant Mountain Ape, making it nearly immobile, moving only like a snail at the back of the beast tide.
As Xu Hengjiang looked over, the struggling Giant Mountain Ape suddenly stopped, then bent down to grab a huge boulder from the ground...
"Hmm... What is that Giant Mountain Ape doing?" Xu Hengjiang raised an eyebrow.
"Not good!" Wu Ming suddenly realized something, his face changed dramatically, "At this distance, could it be they’re already able to use the ’Volcano Cannon’?!"
They watched as the Giant Mountain Ape let out a furious roar, pumping a large amount of Star Power into the clutched boulder, making the originally massive stone even darker and heavier, with hints of molten firelight seeping from its crevices, seemingly harboring explosive terrifying energy!
"It’s the Volcano Cannon!"
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
The Volcano Cannon, a long-range throwing skill, one of the two legendary skills of the Giant Mountain Ape!
In the distance, the Giant Mountain Ape twisted its body, raising its exaggeratedly long arms, and with a swing, the boulder, flowing with molten firelight inside, shot towards Storm City with a sonic boom, its terrifying might several times stronger than the Demon Dragon-2 Star Energy Cannon!
"Quickly use the array to block it!"
Jing Chenghui manipulated the array, causing the Sea Roar Formation that covered the walls to surge with water light, with several roaring Sea Dragons leaping out to meet the Volcano Cannon.
"Bang bang bang!"
After only a brief pause, the Volcano Cannon, containing astonishing energy, smashed through one Sea Dragon after another, continuing relentlessly towards the city walls.
The faces of the Storm Alliance members all changed: "Such terrifying power!"
Watching as the Volcano Cannon was about to hit the city walls, if it really struck, it would surely create another massive breach!
In this critical moment, Xu Hengjiang remained composed, wind and thunder intertwining around him, instantly transforming into a lightning illusion as he leaped past the array and charged forward!
"Boss Xu!"
Li Su, along with Wu Ming, Jing Chenghui, and others from the Storm Alliance, were all shocked, given Xu Hengjiang’s current state, it would be hard for him to withstand such a Volcano Cannon head-on!
Xu Hengjiang flipped his hand to take out a shield formed from overlapping azure scales, roaring: "Dragon Scale Shield!"
This Dragon Scale Shield was precisely brought over by Li Su this time, made mainly from the molted scales of the Black Dragon Clan known for their physical prowess and personally crafted by Situ Bai as an Epic Star Artifact.
As Xu Hengjiang’s Star Power surged into it, the scales on the shield began to quiver, transforming into an incredibly solid and menacing black shield standing in front.
Xu Hengjiang knew that taking this attack head-on would likely cause him a second injury, and he absolutely couldn’t allow such a siege tactic to fall directly on the city walls!
But at this critical juncture, a line of bright blazing fire shot in from the side of the sky, piercing through the volcanic giant stone in the blink of an eye.
Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a treasure sword with flowing golden flames!
"Hmm?!"
Xu Hengjiang was initially startled, then his face changed drastically as he saw the molten lava erupting within the penetrated boulder, which exploded with a "boom" on the spot!
The volcanic giant stone, preemptively detonated by the longsword, posed much less of a threat to the rear Storm City. However, it still posed a huge threat to Xu Hengjiang in front.
At that moment, a flash of even brighter and dazzling golden flame appeared where the stone was penetrated.
In the next instant, whether it was the debris from the explosion or the raging molten lava flames, they all evaporated into nothingness in a flash of golden flames!
Xu Hengjiang, who was preparing to resist with all his might, had his pupils contract sharply; not only did it incinerate the volcanic boulders, but even the erupting molten lava flames were instantly burned away??
