Chapter 2047 - 2040: A Total Loss
The battle of the guardian beasts was about to erupt, with two ferociously powerful forces colliding with an air current, tearing a massive gash in the ground.
Seventeen guardian beasts simultaneously charged at the Ice Wing Dragon Bat, turning the sky gray, with hail mixed with rain painting a doomsday scene.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it’s a battle of the century!" Zhang Menglong sat atop a gigantic insect clan creature, eating fruit and drinking, as if this battle had nothing to do with him.
The Ice Wing Dragon Bat was indeed formidable. Seventeen against one, yet it maintained an undefeated stance in a short time. Its size was more than twice that of other guardian beasts, and a flick of its tail could drive back several guardian beasts. It could conjure an ice shield before it at any moment, acting like an omnipresent armor blocking attacks time and again.
"This old bat is too fierce," Zhang Menglong clicked his tongue in amazement, "Looks like it needs some psychological tactics!"
Zhang Menglong once again summoned a massive number of Black Warriors, almost occupying the entire Ice King City. The Ice Demon Race’s warriors fought valiantly, but their defense circle kept shrinking, to less than a third of the city.
"Hey, big bat, look at your Ice Demon Race people. If you don’t go save them, they’ll all die!"
"Damn humans!" cursed the Ice Wing Dragon Bat, unable to resist glancing back.
Even though Ice Demon Race warriors were joining from all sides, even the entire Ice Demon Race couldn’t repel the combined forces of the insect clan and Black Warriors.
In this level of battle, any distraction could be fatal. The ice shield failed to form in time, and a guardian beast, like a giant, finally struck the Ice Wing Dragon Bat, knocking it from the sky.
"Boom!" The Ice Wing Dragon Bat crashed heavily onto the ground, forming a large crater. The other guardian beasts immediately launched a barrage of various attacks at it.
Although appearing somewhat disheveled, Gou Dan’s energy detector showed no decline in the Ice Wing Dragon Bat’s life force; in fact, it seemed to be rising slightly!
"Don’t get too cocky!" roared the Ice Wing Dragon Bat from the pit as the ground began to crack further, and the surrounding temperature dropped once again. A massive figure slowly rose.
The Ice Wing Dragon Bat’s shape had transformed dramatically. Its body became slender, even sprouting a pair of horns on its head.
Ice Wing Dragon Bat, also possessing the Dragon Clan bloodline, came at a great cost, but in the current situation, holding back was not an option!
"Damn, it’s really hard to deal with!" Zhang Menglong suddenly remembered he still had a big weapon, "Everyone, surround it, don’t let it see me!"
Zhang Menglong hid behind the high walls built by the insect clan, pulling out various parts piece by piece. This was the legendary Super Divine Cannon!
As the parts assembled, a contraption somewhat resembling an earthen cannon was erected by Zhang Menglong. If it weren’t so expensive, he wouldn’t have taken a second glance, but its appearance hardly did justice to its name!
Zhang Menglong had only two shells, granting him just two chances!
With the shell loaded, a powerful aura of incredible strength emerged. It was a terror beyond the limits of the Dao Realm, surpassing even the guardian beasts’ prowess!
"What’s that?" The Ice Wing Dragon Bat, fiercely battling, suddenly felt itself targeted by something, akin to its soul being entangled, making it uneasy.
Yet, scanning the surroundings revealed nothing unusual within sight.
"Wow, this is even mightier than an Italian Cannon!"
If the maximum power moment of the guardian beasts’ combat was 100 units, the force gathered by the Super Divine Cannon reached 300 or even 400!
If hit on the Ice Wing Dragon Bat, it wouldn’t die, but surely, it would shed a layer of skin!
"Fire!"
With energy gathered, a green beam suddenly shot out from the insect clan ranks.
"What the hell!" Instinctively, the Ice Wing Dragon Bat dodged, but the beam still pierced through its wing, nearly burning through half of it.
Feeling the sharp pain, the Ice Wing Dragon Bat knocked away all surrounding guardian beasts and dive-charged towards Zhang Menglong on the ground.
"That thing..." the Ice Wing Dragon Bat’s silver eyes squinted into slits, "Super Divine Cannon, you even got ahold of something like this, I can’t let you live!"
Super Divine Cannon, a powerful weapon created by an extinct race, capable of killing guardian beasts! And there was only one cannon, never mass-produced before the race perished.
"Damn!" Zhang Menglong trembled in fear, hurriedly reloading the second shell, but the Ice Wing Dragon Bat’s speed was too fast. If energy was fully gathered, he’d undoubtedly be doomed!
"Damn, can’t count on anyone!" Though the guardian beasts tried intercepting the Ice Wing Dragon Bat, they were evidently slower, and it was clear the Ice Wing Dragon Bat was fighting desperately!
"Hell Demon Claw!"
Zhang Menglong crushed another scroll. From the ground, a black claw emerged like a phantom, gripping the Ice Wing Dragon Bat firmly in its grasp.
"Get off!" With effort, the Ice Wing Dragon Bat broke free within two seconds, but Zhang Menglong crushed another scroll.
The path to Zhang Menglong took the Ice Wing Dragon Bat double the usual time, though it was still met with the Super Divine Cannon’s muzzle!
"Boom!" The shot hit the Ice Wing Dragon Bat’s head hard...
"Brilliant!" Zhang Menglong clapped from behind the insect clan Warcrafts, "Using your head to catch the Super Divine Cannon, you’re likely the first in history!"
"Boom!" The Ice Wing Dragon Bat crashed heavily to the ground, still not entirely deceased, but in an extremely weakened state.
Seventeen guardian beasts gathered around it, but it could do nothing now, only glaring venomously at Zhang Menglong.
"Hand over the Wind Thunder Pearl of the Azure Dragon," Zhang Menglong said, spreading his hands.
The Ice Wing Dragon Bat turned its head away, seemingly unfazed.
"No problem, if you don’t want to give it, I’ll just kill you. When you’re dead, everything on you will come out, believe me!" Zhang Menglong quipped cheekily.
"Hmph!" The Ice Wing Dragon Bat snorted, and a pale cyan bead rolled out from its body.
The Azure Dragon caught the bead with one claw. A gleeful smile appeared.
"Thanks, kid from the Zhang Family."
"No need for thanks," Zhang Menglong waved, "If you hadn’t stalled it for so long, I wouldn’t have found the chance, thanks for the help."
At that moment, Zhang Menglong received a reminder that his mission was completed, and he earned a reward of 1,000 Supreme Crystals.
Additionally, he got an item called "Sorrow of the Race," though its use was unknown.
"Damn! Only got 1,000, but the cost was way more than 100 billion!" Zhang Menglong grumbled, collecting his reward, "Such a loss!"
