CHAPTER 617: CHAPTER 529: DESERTION ON THE EVE OF BATTLE_2

"Boom!"

A loud bang.

Immediately, the sound of continuous explosions overshadowed it.

However, the fired arrow did not miss.

The distance of over ten miles was covered in a blink of an eye.

"Bang!"

The head of a Two-winged Black Snake was directly blown apart along with a large portion of its body, turning into a rain of fragments falling from the sky.

This sudden scene bewildered the surrounding Two-winged Black Snakes.

They halted their attacks and looked at each other.

As if they couldn’t understand what had happened, how their companion, who was fine just a moment ago, had died so suddenly. Or was it all just an illusion?

"Boom!"

The head of a second Two-winged Black Snake exploded, with the majority of its body crashing towards the ground.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The third one.

The fourth one.

The fifth one.

Even if this group of Two-winged Black Snakes were foolish, they now knew what had happened. Each of them ceased their attacks and scanned their surroundings, quickly identifying the perpetrator.

"Roar!"

The Winged Black Snake King’s eyes burned with immense fury. Its mouth opened, and a large mass of black venom, traveling ten times faster than before, flew towards Chen Fan.

"Boom!"

As soon as the venom ball hit the ground, it produced an astonishing explosion sound, followed by rolling white smoke. A huge crater with a radius of 20 meters appeared on the ground, with the deepest point nearly 10 meters deep!

Standing a few hundred meters away, Chen Fan witnessed the scene and sighed inwardly, recognizing the prowess of a Beast King-level Fierce Beast.

A 150mm howitzer shell, containing approximately 12 kilograms of explosives, could create a 5-meter diameter and 2-meter deep crater on the ground.

To achieve such destruction, it would require 300 kilograms of TNT, sufficient to demolish a traditional six-story building entirely.

However, a single attack from the Winged Black Snake King instantly created a 20-meter diameter and 10-meter deep crater, comparable to one ton of TNT, capable of destroying a multi-story building!

At this moment, the second venom ball arrived.

"Boom!"

The spot where Chen Fan had originally stood now had another 20-meter diameter crater.

The Winged Black Snake King continuously spewed venom balls from its mouth as if they were free of cost.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The ground continuously erupted with deep craters.

The people on the city walls were stunned.

Is this the power of a Beast King-level Fierce Beast?

Destroying the tens-of-meters-high city wall seemed effortless for it.

The other Two-winged Black Snakes seemed to have received an order and, one after another, ignored Chen Fan, flying towards the city wall instead.

"Oh no! They are coming towards us!"

Someone noticed and exclaimed.

"What!"

"Heavens, they really are coming towards us."

"Where are the anti-aircraft guns? Get the anti-aircraft guns ready!"

"It won’t work; those are Commander-level Fierce Beasts. Even if we hit them, the effect will be minimal."

"Even if it’s useless, we must use them. What else can we do, wait for death?"

The city wall fell into chaos, with many originally defended breaches collapsing suddenly, allowing thousands of Fierce Beasts to surge in.

After all, the pressure brought by dozens of Commander-level Fierce Beasts couldn’t be matched by Elite-level or mid to high-level Fierce Beasts.

The City Lord of Yu Feng City and others also noticed this, becoming extremely anxious but helpless.

They themselves were struggling to hold their ground, unable to return for reinforcement. Even if they could, they had no means to deal with these flying creatures.

The dignitary also seemed to have been held off by the Beast King-level Fierce Beast.

"Fine, I intended to deal with you last, but since you insist on seeking death, I’ll oblige you first."

Chen Fan again drew his bow and notched an arrow, but this time, it wasn’t the Heaven-Piercing Arrow consuming a million points of True Qi, but the Nine Provinces Arrow consuming ten million points of True Qi.

In an instant, half of his True Qi was consumed.

An immense amount of True Qi gathered upon the arrow.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the arrow shot out, and under the effect of True Qi, its size reached over twenty meters, almost as large as the Winged Black Snake King itself.

"!"

The Winged Black Snake King’s pupils suddenly dilated, with a flash of terror in its eyes, trying to dodge instinctively.

But the speed of the arrow was too fast, leaving no room to evade.

Helplessly, it could only frantically spew venom balls, attempting to destroy the massive arrow.

The venom balls collided with the arrow, producing earth-shattering sounds.

The venom and True Qi on the arrow eroded each other.

The original twenty-meter arrow reduced to twenty meters, then eighteen meters, fifteen meters. Finally, it reached the Winged Black Snake King.

Under its panic-stricken eyes, the arrow pierced through and exploded.

Blood splattered.

Almost the entire Winged Black Snake King was blown to pieces, with only a small section of its tail remaining intact.

Everyone on the scene was stunned at this moment.

The Beast King-level Fierce Beast, dead?

If they remembered correctly, it had only been less than two minutes since it appeared, right? And it died just like that?

If they hadn’t witnessed the power of its attack, they would have doubted if it was truly a Beast King-level.

"That Lord, is too strong, right?"

"One arrow, just one arrow killed a Beast King-level Fierce Beast?"

"Am I dreaming? Or is this an illusion? A Beast King-level, killed in an instant?"

One after another, B-level Awakeners couldn’t believe what just transpired.

It wasn’t just them; even the Commander-level Fierce Beasts fighting against them were stunned.

With their intelligence, they naturally knew their task was to hold off these people. The real battlefield was on the other side.

As long as that side won, these people here would be utterly defeated.

But the result?

The most powerful Winged Black Snake King was killed?

How could they continue fighting?

"Don’t get distracted!"

The City Lord of Yu Feng City shouted, releasing a superpower that instantly eliminated a dazed Commander-level Fierce Beast in front of him.

"Everyone, give it your all! We will win this battle!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

The surrounding B-level Awakeners immediately responded, their morale soaring.

Yes, they had just killed the strongest beast in this wave of Beast Tide, so the remaining Commander-level Fierce Beasts shouldn’t be a problem anymore.

Eliminating them was only a matter of time.

Just then, an unexpected situation occurred.

In the southern part of the city, a Commander-level Fierce Beast howled mournfully and then turned to flee.

Ordinary Fierce Beasts in its path were trampled and thrown aside in countless numbers.

Another Commander-level Fierce Beast saw this, hesitated, and then reacted by running away as well.

Are you kidding me?

The Black Snake King had already been killed by humans. Staying behind was tantamount to courting death.

It wasn’t foolish.

The distant Commander-level Fierce Beasts followed suit.

Chaos erupted within the Beast Tide.

The dozen or so Two-winged Black Snakes flying toward the city wall were filled with sorrow and rage when they saw this, letting out roars of anger.

However, their roars only made the fleeing Commander-level Fierce Beasts run even faster, vanishing into the Beast Tide within moments.

"Roar!"

The largest Two-winged Black Snakes roared toward the sky, seemingly wishing to chase down and poison these traitors.

But now was not the time to dwell on that.

Their nemesis, who had killed their king, was right in front of them. They had to kill him to avenge their king!

"Roar! Roar!"

A few twenty-meter-long Two-winged Black Snakes roared in anger, charging at Chen Fan first.

The remaining Two-winged Black Snakes followed closely behind.

Seeing this, not only was Chen Fan unafraid, but he also smiled.

The reason he hadn’t initially attacked the Winged Black Snake King was to avoid alarming the others and letting it escape, since the Heaven-Piercing Arrow also had a range limit.

But these creatures were stubborn, insisting on a fight to the death.
