Chapter 2046 - 2039: Beating a Dog When It’s Down
"Hehehe!" Zhang Menglong let out a villainous laugh while activating the tokens given to him by the Guardian Beasts. Instantly, waves of primitive and powerful energy appeared, swirling around him.
The Ice Wing Dragon Bat felt these energies, and its body began to tremble uncontrollably—filled with anger, shock, and surprisingly, even some fear!
It was indeed powerful, but the gap between Guardian Beasts wasn’t too large. It could defeat the Azure Dragon, but it was unlikely to kill it. It could also defeat Guardian Beasts from other races, but killing them proved difficult!
However, facing three Guardian Beasts, it would be in a balanced state at best. If the number exceeded five, it would begin to be at a disadvantage. Once the Guardian Beasts numbered over ten, it would surely be in danger!
And this time, Zhang Menglong had enlisted 16 helpers in addition to the Azure Dragon of Aiville City! With 17 Guardian Beasts appearing simultaneously, the entire Ice King City was plunged into a precarious state.
"Shadow Demon Beast, Blazing Flame Spinosaurus, Golden Phantom Bear..." The Ice Wing Dragon Bat called out the names of each Guardian Beast. Over the years, it had encountered these Guardian Beasts several times, but in most battles, it held the upper hand, disciplining each of them!
Yet now, all 17 Guardian Beasts had united to stand before it, exerting tremendous pressure. It knew all too well that relying solely on itself could never directly defeat these 17 Guardian Beasts!
But it had its own mission: to protect the Ice Demon Race. If the Ice Demon Race declined, it would meet its own grim fate!
The Ice Demon Race within the Ice King City were already dazed. This battle wasn’t something they had the capability to influence. Now, neither could the Ice Wing Dragon Bat spare any effort to assist in repelling the insect tide breaching the city. They had only themselves to rely on now!
In the Ice King City, ice pillars erupted suddenly, piercing through countless insects. This was the strongest skill of the city’s Energy Core, known as Ice Destruction - activated during an invasion!
In an instant, all the insects within the city were killed; yet even more insect monsters continued to surge in, while the blue crystal had dimmed and couldn’t sustain further attacks.
"Well, well, to think that this kid has such ability, able to gather them all," the Ice Wing Dragon Bat said. "You’ve won. Leave the Mother Flower of Ice Demon behind, and I’ll let you go. Let’s consider the Ice Demon Race as having taken a loss here!"
"Hahaha, when did I ever say I’d return the Mother Flower of Ice Demon to you," Zhang Menglong laughed. "My mission is to snatch the Mother Flower from your hands. If I returned it to you, how would I finish my task?"
Zhang Menglong pointed at the city of the Ice Demon Race. "Look at that, your city is already in this state. If things continue, at least half of your population will die. For an insignificant flower, is it worth it?"
"Human, what do you know?" The Ice Wing Dragon Bat roared angrily. "For the Ice Demon Race to rise from a bottom-tier to a peak race, the Ice Demon Flower has ignited our potential. We no longer have the resources to cultivate another Ice Demon Mother Flower!"
"Oh, it’s that important?" Zhang Menglong grinned slyly, "Then I can’t possibly return it to you. With the poor relations between the Ice Demon Race and humans, why would I leave you with a future threat?"
"Lord Ice Wing Dragon Bat, we’re at our limit!" From afar, the City Lord was still resisting the insect tide invasion with his people, but they were already exhausted. Just after eliminating one wave of insect monsters in the city, a second wave surged in, but they lacked another Ice Destruction attack.
"Human, the Ice Demon Race and humanity will fight to the end!" The Ice Wing Dragon Bat, finally enraged, began transforming—its color shifting from crystalline light blue to red, like ink spreading across its body.
"Zhang Family kid, run quick, this big bat is about to go berserk!"
The 17 Guardian Beasts stepped forward in unison to shield Zhang Menglong. The Ice Demon Race possessed transformation abilities, and the Ice Wing Dragon Bat had similar powers. Even with 17 Guardian Beasts there, defeating it would be extremely challenging.
But Zhang Menglong did not choose to turn and flee. Instead, he began searching himself, and an ancient scroll appeared on him, "Hehe, big bat, have you heard of the God Summoning Scroll?"
"God Summoning Scroll?" At these four words, the blood-red Ice Wing Dragon Bat showed an appalled expression, and even the other 17 Guardian Beasts were astonished, thinking this scroll should have long vanished!
It was about an ancient race, incredibly powerful, every member reached the ultimate Dao Realm, and in such numbers that they were considered the strongest race, their power allowed them to challenge the rules of the world!
But they ultimately failed; a group of Guardian Beasts crushed their civilization, but beforehand, they sealed their indomitable will within a God Summoning Scroll.
With just one Supreme Coin, you could summon a Dao Realm Ultimate warrior from it, with no limit on numbers, capable of resurrection upon death with another Supreme Coin. With enough Supreme Coins, it effectively formed an undefeatable, never-ending army!
"Alas, a bit poor, just Supreme Crystals all over me, not many Supreme Coins," Zhang Menglong shook his head, "Come forth, give me ten billion to dismantle Ice King City, and the rest attack that big bat!"
Figures began to materialize around Zhang Menglong—ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, one billion, one hundred billion!
"You call that not many Supreme Coins?" said the Azure Dragon, dumbfounded, unaware that Zhang Menglong had just wiped out billions of insect monsters, amassing Supreme Coins in the trillions!
A race with a few hundred Dao Realm Ultimate warriors was considered of middle order. A hundred billion Dao Realm Ultimate warriors was a scene beyond any race’s imagination!
It must be understood that while Zhang Menglong’s insect army was vast, only a few hundred monsters reached the Emperor Level, with just 30 or 50 bug kings at the peak of the Dao Realm!
All these warriors donned black armor, exuding an aura of slaughter.
"Charge!"
At the command, all the black-armored figures launched a charge at Ice King City and most targeted the Ice Wing Dragon Bat. They were fearless, resolute, unafraid of being slain—a force in the tens to hundreds of billions peak Dao Realm power, which even the Ice Wing Dragon Bat couldn’t ignore completely!
Zhang Menglong had a bold thought; who knows, after slaying the Guardian Beasts, what kind of loot might they drop?
"Great opportunity!" The 17 Guardian Beasts exchanged glances. Of course, they wouldn’t miss a chance to beat a dog while it’s down. If they could kill the Ice Wing Dragon Bat, it would be hugely beneficial for their own races!
