Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 462 - 278: Black Clouds Overwhelm the City - The City on the Verge of Collapse_2
"Besides, aren't you already aware of my abilities, teacher?" Yu Xiaoman said confidently as she shook the small bronze arrow on her waist and the Celestial Secret Dice tucked in her bag.
She already knew her strongest ability—an extraordinary fortune.
This was what another teacher had told her. Yu Xiaoman learned the art of combat from Fei Feng and divination techniques from Ling Yuyan, and she had achieved an initial capability to use her own fortune in battle.
"Xiaoman, during the battle, stay by my side and don't wander off," Ling Yuyan said.
"Uh... okay." Yu Xiaoman quickly responded, as she was just chatting with Fei Feng in her mind and hadn't caught on immediately.
Ling Yuyan was already used to Yu Xiaoman's slow reactions, as she often behaved that way herself.
Ling Yuyan gazed at the distant black clouds, worried about the safety of her teacher (Zhou Chisheng), "I wonder how the teacher is doing?"
The Demon General had already escaped from Zhou Chisheng's suppression, and Zhou Chisheng's fate was predictable. The best scenario was for Zhou Chisheng to abandon the Divine Soldiers and escape from the Demon General, surviving by a thread.
She also understood that the chance Zhou Chisheng was still alive was very small, almost negligible, but she couldn't help harboring a sliver of hope, wishing for even the tiniest possibility.
In the crowd below the city walls, the soldiers of Beifeng City were neatly lined up on the roads under the city walls, wearing their uniforms, ready to climb up and join the battle at any time.
Or perhaps they would charge out of the city gates and take the initiative to fight.
Seeing the billowing black clouds in the sky, people's hearts couldn't help but be filled with panic, but seeing the gathered comrades around them gradually calmed their anxious minds.
Especially after the protective array unfolded, everyone felt completely at ease, and began to worry about the safety of others, their friends, and family, while soldiers with tougher nerves were even wondering if they could enjoy a good meal at noon.
"So many people, is it useful?" a young man stood on the city wall, looking down at the soldiers filling the streets, and asked the person next to him.
Lu Yu roughly gauged the strength of the soldiers and shook his head, saying, "They might be somewhat useful against the Fire Spirits and Fire Infants, but against the Ancient Fire Spirit God, they're just cannon fodder, not even ash remains."
"This battle primarily depends on the high-level combatants," Lu Yu concluded.
This time is even worse than the siege they encountered at An Nan City; at least there were numerous small creatures back then. Now it's just two boss-level monsters attacking, with the minor creatures merely serving as background, completely ignorable.
Ouyang Lie turned to look in the distance, the figure of the Ancient Fire Spirit God drawing near. He could clearly see the sparks dancing around the Ancient Fire Spirit God, each one a Fire Spirit or Fire Infant.
He suddenly had an idea and asked, "Lu Yu, do you remember that Fire Spirit King from before? Can you see if she's around?"
Lu Yu looked at him, puzzled, "Why are you looking for the Fire Spirit King?"
"Heh heh, we were chased so badly by her last time. Don't you want to find her and beat her up now that we're stronger?" Ouyang Lie said with a grin.
"...," He had long since transcended such childish amusements.
Lu Yu's eyes flashed, and the power of the Ice-Jade Eyes activated, compressing his perception into a line that extended continuously, expanding his range of vision.
Where his perception stretched was within Lu Yu's field of view.
He saw a red figure standing on the left shoulder of the Ancient Fire Spirit God, his eyes narrowing, and the figure became much clearer.
Lu Yu withdrew his perception, the power of the Ice-Jade Eyes fading from his eyes, and casually said, "There seems to be someone standing on the left shoulder of the Ancient Fire Spirit God. See if it's the Fire Spirit King you mentioned?"
Ouyang Lie squinted, unable to tell if there was anything on the Ancient Fire Spirit God's left shoulder. Instead, his eyes were burning from staring at its body, nearly tearing up.
He discreetly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned to Lu Yu, and said, "Forget it."
"It's coming," Lu Yu said gravely.
Ouyang Lie quickly turned to the distance. A colossal shadow approached Beifeng City, and when he looked up, he could only see the sky-darkening flames, unable to discern the full form of the Ancient Giant Spirit God.
The defenders on the city wall couldn't help but step back a few paces seeing such a massive entity approach. Any creature is naturally fearful of objects vastly larger than themselves.
Especially with the Ancient Fire Spirit God, whose size exceeds what the naked eye can perceive entirely, touching upon the deepest human fear of giant entities.
"Humans, your ignorance has angered me! You will pay for your actions," the Ancient Fire Spirit God's voice boomed, and the people below could only hear the voice coming from the sky.
Luo Sha rose into the sky, ascending a thousand meters to face the Ancient Fire Spirit God, coldly saying, "The world has changed, and past things should just quietly fade away with time."
"Ignorant humans, gods eternally exist in this world!" The Ancient Fire Spirit God roared. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Five pillars of fire shot from its eyes, one noticeably dimmer than the others. Luo Sha's eyes focused, the surrounding air shifting to form a mirror with a one-hundred percent reflection rate.
Whoosh~ The five fire pillars shot towards the sky, leaving fiery trails in the dim sky.
"My master is really powerful, casually blocking the enemy's attack. This big guy just looks scary, but it's not actually that frightening," Ouyang Lie said gleefully, seeing Luo Sha gaining the upper hand in the first exchange.
