Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 397 - 345: Turning the Tide, Golden Roc Wounded
Lei Yao let out a low growl, his figure flickered, and he charged into the beast horde, raising his right hand abruptly as the crimson blood light flickered in his palm.
The Star Beasts within a hundred-zhang radius were instantly affected, with those below Monarch Level dying on the spot. With just one move, nearly a thousand Star Beasts were slain.
Lei Yao didn’t stop his steps and once again rushed toward the distant beast horde.
Repeating the same method, a chunk of the beast horde was instantly cleared out.
Lei Yao’s actions naturally attracted the attention of Monarch Level Star Beasts within the horde.
Three mid-stage Monarch Level Star Beasts immediately charged at Lei Yao.
Seeing this, Lei Yao did not engage them, but instead rushed again toward the densest part of the beast horde.
After another successful strike, Lei Yao was surrounded by the three Star Beasts.
However, Lei Yao did not show a hint of panic. Instead, he grinned and waved his hand, and an auburn-golden stick appeared in his hand.
The Ruyi Stick shimmered with golden-red light, instantly adjusting to the appropriate size.
Holding the Ruyi Stick, Lei Yao’s entire aura became incredibly sharp, with the aura of a Third Rank Monarch Level erupting entirely.
Upon seeing this, Chu Xiong was instantly shocked. Pointing at Lei Yao, he asked in disbelief, "Son, is this Lei Yao?"
Chu Chen nodded in response.
"How did Lei Yao’s transformation become so huge, and why is his aura so terrifying? Has he reached Monarch Level?"
"Third Rank Monarch Level, he happened upon some opportunities. I’ll tell you more after we win the city defense," Chu Chen said calmly.
Father Chu’s heart was set aflutter upon hearing this. What exactly had happened in this short half year for him to advance so terrifyingly fast?
Thinking of this, Father Chu felt a pang of heartache. If he could become a strongman, perhaps his son wouldn’t have to endure so much hardship.
The three Monarch Level Star Beasts teamed up and could only barely match Lei Yao.
Little did they know, Lei Yao had numerous trump cards yet to deploy, not even using his full power.
He planned to use these three Star Beasts to hone his stick technique. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Chu Chen did not prevent this, as this city defense’s main forces were not Lei Yao but Nirvana and Feng Shuang.
The strength of the beast horde was generally low, and Feng Shuang, with Commander Level Third Rank strength, was enough to sway the outcome of the battle.
As for Nirvana, there’s no need to say more; the Undead Army can instantly turn the tide of the battle.
However, now was not the time for Nirvana to act.
Chu Chen turned to Father Chu and said, "Dad, notify all City Defense Army personnel to withdraw from the battlefield. Go to the southern battlefield to assist; I’ll handle things here."
Father Chu revealed a look of surprise, seemingly in disbelief.
Seeing this, Chu Chen looked at his father with firm determination.
Seeing this, Father Chu nodded and said, "I’ll handle it right away." He then quickly started running towards the commander.
A moment later, Father Chu hurried back, patting Chu Chen’s shoulder and saying solemnly, "Son, get ready; we are pulling back."
"Understood, you withdraw."
At this moment, a rapid horn sounded, and the City Defense Army, who were still fighting, immediately commanded their Guardian Beasts to withdraw from the battlefield.
Though their strength was not too strong, their military discipline was extremely high, and within merely a dozen breaths, they had fully retreated.
"Son, stay safe." With that, Father Chu led his squad to the southern battlefield.
Chu Chen nodded to his father and said in a deep voice, "Cage, block the front of the city, and do not allow any Star Beasts near."
Upon hearing the words, Cage let out a hissing sound, its enormous serpentine body coiling up in front of the city gate, completely sealing it off.
A layer of Water Element swiftly coated its body, along with activating the Beast Taming Armor.
With Cage’s current physique and its double layer of defense, it could resist the beast horde’s assault for a short time.
Chu Chen dared not delay and immediately commanded Feng Shuang to land on Shadow Kill’s back, which then took him above the beast horde.
The snowflakes carried by the gale spread to every corner of the battlefield.
"Boom, boom, boom"
Amid the violent booming sounds, thousands of Star Beasts perished under the Ice Burst, and the beast horde was instantly cleared of a massive portion, with the remaining thousands of Star Beasts all injured.
At this time, corpses that were already deceased began standing up strangely.
In just a few breaths, the number of the Undead Army reached two thousand.
Since Nirvana broke through to Monarch Level, the number of undead it could control had skyrocketed.
At Ninth Rank Lord Level, it could control nine thousand undead, but now its limit reached twenty thousand.
This means that each advancement in Realm would increase by ten thousand, and if it reached King Level or higher, the scale of the Undead Army would be terrifyingly massive.
With the addition of the Undead Army, the battlefield situation instantly began to reverse. Any relatively intact corpse revived, and the Undead Army kept growing.
Gradually, the number of the Undead Army exceeded that of the beast horde.
Commanding the West City battlefield was a late-stage Monarch Level Furious Demon Ape, watching the battlefield reversal clearly.
The Furious Demon Ape stared intently at Chu Chen, fully aware that turning the tide was all due to this human youth’s Guardian Beasts. To salvage the situation, it had to kill this youth.
The Furious Demon Ape let out an angry roar and with a flicker of its body, rushed rapidly toward Chu Chen.
Standing on the city wall, Chu Chen overlooked the entire scene, observing every move of the Furious Demon Ape.
The strength of the Furious Demon Ape was extremely strong, with only Lei Yao and Nirvana being able to contend against it.
However, Nirvana was busy controlling the Undead Army, unable to spare any effort.
