Chapter 193 – The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles Show Their Might! (Yesterday's Owed Chapter)

Fuhai Villa Complex.

“Master, there are so many Star Beasts!”

On the sofa, Xiaobai hugged her phone while watching the live broadcast. She quickly scrambled to her feet and ran to Qin Yang’s side, shaking his arm.

“The city gate is completely covered with them!”

“Master, aren’t you going to make a move yet?!”

“…”

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang remained silent.

He simply leaned quietly against the balcony, his water-like mental energy spreading out to probe the situation at the city gate.

From the moment the city defense forces assembled, he had already thoroughly assessed their defensive capabilities, along with the scale of the Star Beasts outside the walls.

Humans and beasts clashed, struggling against the heavens.

But…

“It’s not time yet.”

Qin Yang gazed toward the city gate direction. Under the vast starry sky, the chaotic auras of the beast horde concealed a powerful presence lurking within.

Like a hidden undercurrent in the ocean.

That aura was as majestic as mountains and seas, far surpassing these King-level Star Beasts, and even…

He himself found it somewhat troublesome.

…………….

Jianghai City Gate.

Banners fluttered, and human voices roared.

Under the boundless starry sky.

Tens of thousands of Star Beasts howled as they surged out from the Great Li Mountains, transforming into a dark tide that charged straight toward Jianghai’s border.

But in response.

On Jianghai’s battlements, the city base combat platforms rose high. Demolition howitzers, cluster rockets, thunderlight diffraction arrays… long-range weapons were already aimed at the oncoming Star Beasts.

The next moment.

Boom, boom, boom—

Hundreds of heat-seeking missiles launched simultaneously, streaking across the sky and igniting the city’s defensive artillery fire!

Explosions tore through the beast horde, accompanied by deafening roars. The thermal weapons wiped out large swathes of Star Beasts, creating gaps in the dark tide.

But soon!

Tens of thousands of Star Beasts continued their assault.

They surged forward through the artillery fire, descending from the sky, leaping from the ground, trampling over the corpses of their kin, crushing them into pulp, advancing wave after wave!

Between Jianghai and the Great Li Mountains…

The dark tide line drew closer, the distance shrinking. Their ferocious roars seemed to echo in everyone’s ears.

“Everyone, continue!! Prepare for the second thermal cleansing!!”

On the city wall, the Commander stood firm before the crowd, raising his signaling right hand, veins bulging like angry snakes on his neck as he issued the next command.

The first round of thermal-guided cleansing was merely an appetizer.

After twenty years of accumulation, Jianghai’s defensive capabilities were far beyond what they used to be.

Following the command,

Long and short artillery extended from the city walls!

Cluster rockets aimed high, thunderlight slaughter arrays thundered, and floating cannons hovered overhead.

In an instant, the sky above Jianghai erupted with thunderlight, artillery fire, and Sword Qi… Jianghai City boiled over on this night.

Massive thermal-guided attacks were unleashed.

Boom!

The Beast Tide was breached once more…

But more Star Beasts rushed forward to fill the gaps. Only the weaker Star Beasts perished under the artillery fire, while the stronger ones could already mitigate the damage.

And the King-level Star Beasts even withstood the artillery fire with their bare flesh!

Beneath the city walls.

They moved through the smoke of battle like shifting mountains, step by step approaching Jianghai’s border. Agile smaller beasts surged ahead, probing the city’s defensive formations.

“Thermal defense line breached!!”

“Everyone, prepare to engage!”

“Woo—”

Alarm sirens blared on the city walls. Elder Li raised his sword, moving to assist Li Daoming. He firmly grasped Li Daoming’s arm.

“This old man will lend you a hand!”

“Much obliged.”

Li Daoming and Elder Li exchanged a glance, nodding firmly. The two Innate Realm experts simultaneously channeled their Star Power.

The next moment!

Hum!Sharp Sword Qi converged into the City Defense Array, howling winds surged, forming a long river of sword energy around the city. As strands of Sword Qi unfurled, the wind seemed to transform into ten thousand sharp blades.

Thwack! Thwack!

A bloody mist drifted beneath the city wall. In an instant, the probing small beasts were sliced apart, their limbs shattered on the spot, collapsing over a hundred meters beyond the starry curtain.

They never…

reached the city gates, not even a single step.

Jianghai’s city wall defenses had been reinforced!

The gale swept like a scythe, reaping the lives of countless small beasts.

The scent of blood rose above the city wall, stirring the bloodlust and battle fervor in everyone.

“Elder Li is mighty!!”

The sword-cultivating Star Warriors guarding the city erupted in ecstasy at the sight, their gazes filled with admiration as they looked toward Elder Li.

Sword Qi stood like a great wall, a single sword guarding an entire city.

Elder Li was already past sixty.

Though aged, he still possessed the might of mountains and seas!

But…

it was far from enough.

Thud! Thud!

The impacts echoed dully like tolling bells.

Outside the wall, more Star Beasts charged forth, pushing through with their scarred bodies, breaching the range of the Sword Qi, and ramming the city wall with their sharp horns and heads.

Below the wall, splatters of red and white sprayed wildly.

Star Warriors on the battlements unleashed their Star Power, slaughtering the Star Beasts beneath the city.

Suddenly!

“Roar—”

A chorus of furious roars pierced the night sky.

Everyone turned to look.

It was those King-level Star Beasts roaring—

Their mountainous forms trembled with rage as they sensed their kin’s deaths.

The next moment.

They charged directly toward the City Defense Array!

Boom!

Impact!

The King-level Star Beasts galloped forth, their mountain-like bodies crashing into the protective array. The city wall trembled precariously, its century-old structure shaking, and the City Defense Array hummed.

It seemed to let out a dying whimper…

Rustle—

Dust fell as the city wall quaked violently.

Everyone swayed and staggered, struggling to maintain their balance amid the impacts.

“There are too many!”

Li Daoming, controlling the City Defense Array Diagrams, frowned deeply.

Though the City Defense Array was now impregnable, the other Star Beasts were not the main threat.

They alone could not breach the city gates.

However.

These King-level Star Beasts were the real danger!

Their numbers had long exceeded Jianghai City Wall’s defensive limits. If this continued… the City Defense Array would surely shatter in mere minutes.

Realizing this.

Everyone stationed at the gaps in the battlements, their Star Power blazing, launched a unified assault on the King-level Star Beasts.

Cannon fire, guns, and swords.

Countless attacks rained down on their bodies.

But it was like water off a duck’s back, not even stirring a ripple.

“We can’t break their defense…”

“Hold the line! We cannot retreat!”

“These beasts’ hides are too thick! Focus fire on their limbs!”

Bewildered, they released their Star Power in futile efforts. If they couldn’t eliminate the King-level Star Beasts, all their previous struggles would be in vain.

……….

“Everyone, cease! Don’t waste your Star Power needlessly!!”

At this critical moment.

The Police Inspector Commander shouted, stepping forward and slowly making his way to the battlement. He met everyone’s gaze, then stood facing one of the King-level Star Beasts.

Humanity was frail.

Before such colossal beings, they seemed as insignificant as ants. Instantly, countless eyes fixed on the Commander, hearts clenched with tension on his behalf.

But then,

the next moment.

They witnessed it.

The Commander raised his hand, flipping it to produce a black iron tube, aiming it steadily at the giant beast’s head, holding his breath and focusing.

What was this?Some rogue cultivators were puzzled, having never seen a Star Artifact of such design before.

But before they could ponder further!

The Commander activated the Rainstorm Pear Blossom, and like a spring breeze in the night, it illuminated the gloomy sky.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Silver Needles shot out in unison!

They pierced into the King-level Star Beast’s skull, effortlessly shattering its brain, and actually toppled that mountain-like body, sending it crashing to the ground, crushing swathes of Star Beasts beneath it.

Suppressed outright!

The once-invincible King-level Star Beast?

Before these Pear Blossom Needles, it was nothing but an ant!!

“???”

The rogue cultivators were dumbstruck, staring at the fallen King-level Star Beast.

A one-hit kill on a King-level Star Beast?

“What kind of weapon is this? Truly terrifying to such an extent!”
