Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 425 A Fight Between Giant Beasts

“Ah…”

Shrill screams were heard from the wall attacked by the goshawk. Many of the people that were battling against birds atop the wall were great powerhouses, but the ordinary soldiers were mostly only in Force Grade Class One or Class Two.

The ordinary martial artists could fight ordinary birds, but they could not react to the goshawk’s gigantic wind blade at all.

Other than some incredibly lucky or originally powerful cultivators, half of the people at the top of the wall died.

Yu Hongli and the other Supreme Great Ancestors yelled, and their eyes reddened.

Everyone knew spirit beasts were not normal half-spirit beasts and were beings that surpassed the world’s mightiest power, but before the goshawk made a legitimate attack, nobody expected it to be so terrifying. After all, Feiya City did not have an elder like Elder Universe, who had experienced the previous disaster.

Therefore, they wrongly estimated a spirit beast’s power. Needless to say, this was also because the goshawk was not the lowest-ranked spirit beast. Although it was constrained by this world, it was superior to a typical Supreme Great Ancestor.

“Disperse! Disperse—”

One after another, the human powerhouses shouted fiercely. Wherever the goshawk went, the people were appalled.

Many people shrieked and escaped as they panicked, so much so that some of them even abandoned their defensive weapons.

Fortunately, Feiya City was up against the Birds. If they were faced with the Beasts, they would have lost the war by abandoning their battleground.

Nonetheless, the Humans did not really have a battleground: to begin with, they were going against flying birds. The only thing they could do was wear out their opponents. Even so, the Birds were not interested in seizing the Humans’ position at all. They would rather kill more humans than hold a certain ground.

At the end of the day, the Birds only wanted to fly around.

The goshawk flapped its wings and raged proudly on the other wall. Nevertheless, each time it swooped down on the people, it casually released a wind blade to kill many standard soldiers, then it soared into the sky again.

Moreover, before each attack, the goshawk would first locate Multi-armed King Kong. Only when it was certain the massive creature could not get to it in an instant, it attacked the people without worries.

There were many human powerhouses atop that wall, but the goshawk did not spare them a glance at all.

The goshawk did not fear the humans at all, hence it only focused on controlling the unexpected factor-Multi-armed King Kong.

“Ah, the Humans have too few powerhouses…” Wu Hanning sighed. “If this city had also 100 fully-armed Supreme Great Ancestors, it wouldn’t take this so lightly.”

Bai Shixue and Ni Yinghong glanced at her. Even though they knew she was right, the line-up would not have been possible without Ou Yangming.

It would not be easy to gather 100 Supreme Great Ancestors, but if the imperial family brought the entire human race’s power into play, it would still be possible during a crucial moment. However, it would be extremely difficult to assemble that many magic tools, which would help the great ancestors unleash their full potential.

Furthermore, it would be tougher to round up pieces of magic skill tools instead of conventional magic tools. Even if the imperial family had requested help from the Almighty Beings from the upper realm, there could not have been so many pieces of Skill Equipment.

Ou Yangming clenched his fists. He was in a terrible mood after seeing how the goshawk wreaked havoc on the people.

Multi-armed King Kong was also rather agitated, as though it had sensed the young fellow’s emotions.

“King Kong, kill it!” Ou Yangming suddenly turned and roared at Multi-armed King Kong. The giant spirit beast hesitated for a brief moment before it dashed toward the wall that was under attack. Given its enormous build, it would cause unimaginable damage if it simply went through the city.

Multi-armed King Kong would not have been bothered if Ou Yangming was not in the picture, but it was forced to consider this issue at this moment.

With that, Multi-armed King Kong went around the walls instead. Each time it lifted its foot and took a step forward, a debris glow was formed. The spirit beast moved so quickly that it turned into an afterimage.

It picked a perfect time because the goshawk happened to be launching another attack at this instant. The attack did not take long, but if the goshawk was careless and stayed below slightly longer, Multi-armed King Kong could have captured it for sure.

If Multi-armed King Kong seized the goshawk, the goshawk would end up tragically.

Despite that, horrific cries were heard coming from above as soon as Multi-armed King Kong left its original spot.

The goshawk, which was diving again, was alarmed. It rose into the sky before it could manage another attack with its wind blade. Evidently, it feared Multi-armed King Kong so much that it dared not give the walking beast any chance.

After the goshawk flew high at the speed of light, it noticed Multi-armed King Kong’s whereabouts.

A cunning look was seen in its eyes; it was as though it had prevailed. Following that, the goshawk descended toward the battlement where Ou Yangming and his companions were at. This time, it was even twice as fast as it was before.

“It was luring King Kong out from its spot!”

Every powerhouse understood the goshawk’s scheme at once.

Earlier on, it seemed like the goshawk slaughtered the human soldiers ruthlessly, but it actually, faster!

This was the goshawk’s exact thought at the moment. The goshawk knew Multi-armed King Kong would certainly return to help Ou Yangming, so it only had little time. If it could not kill its target in the shortest time possible, it would have failed.

It could get an opportunity from Multi-armed King Kong, but there would not be a second chance.

The goshawk arrived above the battlement in the blink of an eye. This time, instead of breathing out a wind blade, it simply attacked with its body.

“Boom…”

Yu Hongli and the others had carefully chosen this battlement for Ou Yangming and his companions because it was the steadiest and safest place here, but it could not withstand the crash from a spirit beast’s body. Though the spirit beast was not known for its strong build, there was no difference at all.

Ou Yangming and the others were well-prepared, thus they cleared the battlement before it collapsed.

The goshawk was sharp-eyed, so it immediately spotted Ou Yangming among the crowd. It extended its long beak to peck the young fellow.

Its wind blade could result in a similar effect, but it wanted to get rid of Ou Yangming once and for all.

That said, the goshawk noticed the look on Ou Yangming’s face at this instant. The young fellow was not flustered; he curled his lips and sneered.

A strange and unknown feeling rose from the goshawk’s heart. It suddenly realized that it somehow feared the human as if he was a frightening thing, and it was to turn around to flee.

Having said that, the goshawk quickly overcame its fear because it was a formidable spirit beast.

It struck faster with its beak and almost turned into an illusory image.

At the spur of the moment, a yellow figure emerged from the dusty area. It widened its mouth and aimed for the goshawk’s neck.

The goshawk felt a chill due to the unforeseen event.

It did not know what it was, but it knew it could not survive if it was bitten.

Without any hesitation, the goshawk flinched. It noticed with its bright eyes an exceptionally large yellow dog amidst the dust, but the dog was fully equipped with odd pieces of equipment. ‘Are those pieces of equipment? Is that a spirit beast kept by the Humans?’

The big yellow dog arrived at the peak of Extreme Grade after it absorbed energies from the Earthly Dragon Beast’s flesh and blood.

It was not a spirit beast yet, but its claws and teeth were so sharp that it could definitely threaten a bird spirit beast.

This was the most tragic thing about bird spirit beasts. They could soar high in the sky, but they were inferior to equal-ranked walking beasts in terms of offensive and defensive abilities. In fact, even low-rank walking beasts could also threaten them under certain circumstances.

“Woosh…”

Tens of stone awls emerged at the top of the wall. The tips of the stone awls were exceedingly tough, thus when the goshawk shifted its body, it crushed some stone awls but lost some feathers too.

Each of its feathers was as tough as metal and stone, but they could not totally resist the big yellow dog’s skill. “Woof!”

The big yellow dog barked all of a sudden, then another batch of stone awls appeared. It was more terrifying this time because the new stone awls had not only risen, but they also broke off in the middle and pushed the tips up like catapults by borrowing the upward force. Even the goshawk could not evade them in time, so a few of its weaker parts were hit by the stone awls. If it was not because of the huge disparity between their cultivation bases, the goshawk would have lost more than just some feathers from the attack.

The goshawk glared at the big yellow dog as if it wanted to peel its skin and pull out its tendons. However, it spread out its wings and escaped at a faster speed. Behind the wall, an afterimage appeared out of nowhere. It was Multi-armed King Kong, which had hurried back.

Big Yellow barked at it because it sensed the king kong’s aura. It looked at the bulky creature unhappily.

‘Even if you didn’t return, I could’ve handled it myself!’
