Chapter 4254: Chaos Beast Counterattack

Cao Yuanxing's expression hardened.

Normally, when the Chaos Beasts attacked the Earth City, they would only deploy tens of thousands of them, led by Chaos Beasts at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. This time, however, over a hundred thousand Chaos Beasts were invading, demonstrating how much importance they placed on this battle.

Loud alarms blared throughout Hulan City. Numerous immortals flew out of their residences and ascended to the city walls.

Yu Weiwei stood on the city wall, gazing into the distance, her brows slightly furrowed. She was responsible for patrolling the city walls, an easy task. The Wang family's Golden Immortals were busy mining immortal ore in the rear, making substantial profits, as their treatment had naturally improved after True Master Taihao advanced to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. Yu Weiwei had never imagined True Master Taihao would reach the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, especially since she had been ordered to hire assassins to kill him, an order that was later rescinded by the Chaos Beasts.

Cao Yuanxing, Fairy Liuyun, Lin Tianba, Jin Xin, Yan Yu, Nangong Yuexue, and over a dozen other Grand Unity Golden Immortals landed on the city wall. They looked towards the distant horizon, their expressions grave.

After a moment, they discerned the true nature of the black specks: a vast number of flying Chaos Beasts, accompanied by many more on the ground. Their total number exceeded one hundred thousand.

"So many Chaos Beasts have arrived!" someone exclaimed.

A large number of black specks appeared on the distant horizon, swiftly flying towards them.

"Oh no, the Chaos Beasts are attacking!"

Yu Weiwei quickly issued a warning; she was a direct target if the Chaos Beasts broke into Hulan City.

Deep within the Hulan Mountain Range, a sprawling mega-city was visible. A large plaque above its gate bore the characters 'Hulan City.' Its city walls, a thousand zhang high, were etched with numerous array patterns and mounted with hundreds of mid-grade Immortal Annihilation Cannons.

The Chahar Tribe placed great importance on this operation, involving the joint efforts of three tribes and deploying a total of thirteen Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts. This significant force was primarily due to the Nangong Immortal Clan deploying their Yellow-grade immortal vessel; fewer Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts would have been necessary without it.

Beyond the Chaos Beasts, there was also a contingent of pseudo-immortals, including a golden-glowing flying boat equipped with a high-grade Immortal Annihilation Cannon. Standing upon it was a tall old man in green robes, whose aura clearly indicated he was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. This was an Immortal Annihilation Cannon captured by the Chaos Beasts and given to the pseudo-immortals to use in conjunction with the Chaos Beasts' assault on the city.

"Pseudo-immortals and a high-grade Immortal Annihilation Cannon," Cao Yuanxing muttered, frowning.

More than a hundred thousand Chaos Beasts had halted in an open area. Leading them was Ape, accompanied by twelve other Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts: ten seven-colored and three eight-colored.

"That rebel, Sun Lu, has actually advanced to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage!" Fairy Liuyun said, her delicate brows furrowing. From her words, it was clear she knew the old man in green robes.

"He's only at the early Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, and it looks like the Chaos Beasts helped him achieve that. His main role must be to control the high-grade Immortal Annihilation Cannon," Nangong Yuexue analyzed.

Sun Lu was only at the early Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage and not a major threat. The real challenge lay with the three eight-colored Chaos Beasts.

"Daoist Sun and I will be responsible for dealing with Sun Lu!" Fairy Liuyun declared. She held a grudge against Sun Lu, and seeing her enemy made her blood boil.

"Attack the city! Kill them all!" commanded Ape, his voice resounding across a million li.

No sooner had he spoken than a massive wave of Chaos Beasts surged towards Hulan City.

Simultaneously, thirty thousand Immortal-Armored Soldiers flew out of Hulan City to engage the Chaos Beasts. Hundreds of mid-grade Immortal Annihilation Cannons fired in unison, launching volleys of mid-grade Immortal Annihilation Arrows.

The thirty thousand Immortal-Armored Soldiers hailed from various factions; a significant portion came from the Nangong Immortal Clan, while the Wang family contributed over a thousand. Among them were Wang Lihe, Wang Huayue, Wang Zongyun, Wang Yunlong, Wang Yinyin, Yang Xuan, Ni Tianlong, Wang Benyan, and the Four Seasons Sword Venerable.

The Wang family divided their Immortal-Armored Soldiers into ten squads, each led by a Golden Immortal cultivator.

Wang Lihe, wielding a blue flying sword, slashed at the void. Following his lead, one hundred Immortal-Armored Soldiers also brandished their flying swords and struck at the air. A hundred massive sword-lights swept forth, carving through thousands of colorless Chaos Beasts as easily as slicing melons and dicing vegetables, turning them into shredded flesh.

Wang Benyan unleashed a blade strike. One hundred Immortal-Armored Soldiers, in turn, swung their long sabers at the void, sending a hundred immense saber-lights surging directly towards the colorless Chaos Beasts. This was a battle formation, not a combined attack technique.

Wang Yinyin held a blue-glowing pipa. As her fingers glided across the strings, waves of azure sound swept forth. In response, the fingers of one hundred Immortal-Armored Soldiers likewise strummed their pipas, releasing dense torrents of azure sound waves.

The Wang family's Immortal-Armored Soldiers employed various methods to eliminate the Chaos Beasts.

"Let us join the fray! Let's take Hulan City as quickly as possible," said Hyaena, an eight-colored Chaos Beast resembling a porcupine, its body covered in sharp quills. Hyaena, at the late Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, could launch its quills as projectiles, each possessing power comparable to a high-grade immortal artifact.

Ape nodded and charged towards Hulan City.

The thirteen Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts dispersed to attack Hulan City. Nangong Yuexue and the others immediately took action to confront the Chaos Beasts.

A massive yellow light barrier enveloped the entire Hulan City. More immortals stood on the city walls, casting divine abilities or manipulating immortal artifacts to strike at the enemy.

Sun Lu quickly formed a hand seal, and the high-grade Immortal Annihilation Cannon on his golden flying boat immediately fired. An extremely thick red light beam shot out, striking the yellow light barrier, which subtly quivered.

At the same time, a colossal yellow centipede flew out of Hulan City. From its eye sockets and mouth, cannon barrels emerged, glowing with red light. Three thick red light beams shot forth, heading straight for the Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts.

As Sun Lu attempted to assist, spatial fluctuations appeared above his head. A large, white-glowing hand materialized and swatted towards Sun Lu's head, while numerous white ice spears shot towards him, imbued with the Law of Ice.

Cao Yuanxing held a red-glowing short blade, the High-Grade Immortal Artifact 'Li Huo Blade,' which the Cao family had acquired. Although Cao Yuanxing had only achieved minor mastery of laws, his high-grade immortal artifact made dealing with Sun Lu a non-issue. He swung his blade, unleashing a crimson blade energy that surged directly towards Sun Lu.

Sun Lu sneered, his right fist glowing brightly. He punched, sending a massive crimson fist wrapped in magma flying forth, effortlessly shattering the red blade energy and the incoming white ice spears.

"Mastery of Laws! It seems the Chaos Beasts have given you considerable benefits," Fairy Liuyun remarked with a frown.

"Hehe, it's thanks to Lord Qu's regard that I am where I am today. Today marks your demise," Sun Lu chuckled, his face filled with murderous intent. He formed a hand seal, and the high-grade Immortal Annihilation Cannon fired again, unleashing a thick red light beam that struck the yellow light barrier.

At this point, the high-grade Immortal Annihilation Arrows were also launched. They only managed to kill one Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage seven-colored Chaos Beast. Given how dispersed the enemies were, eliminating even one such beast with a single strike was quite an achievement.

Five high-grade Immortal Annihilation Cannons fired simultaneously, but the Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts reacted swiftly. Nangong Yuexue and the others' mastery of laws were unable to harm them significantly.
