Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 420 A Strike Of A Thunderbolt From A Finger

Wu Hanning, Ou Yangming, and the others were led to the tribe.

In actuality, Bai Shixue and Ni Yinghong were unwilling to walk with Wu Hanning, but if they would have to be left with Multi-armed King Kong...

After careful considerations, they figured that nothing bad could come from being the princess’s company! With that, they joined the tribe and briefly greeted the people there. Wu Hanning then cut to the chase. “Clan Leader Qi, what’s Feiya County’s situation?”

“Your Highness, powerful half-spirit beasts have appeared in succession in the sky above Feiya City and have truly frightened the people,” Qi Yangsuo quickly replied to her as he dared not delay the matter. He was clearly worried as he spoke, “The legend of the disaster is surfacing again, so the people are panicking as they worry that the prefecture might be lost.”

The Humans’ eight counties were different in their own ways.

Feiya and Xuanchen were endless plains. The Beasts would also have the upper hand here, but the Birds that soared in the ninth heaven were the ones that could dominate. They were the toughest opponents for the Humans in these two counties.

When the beast tide for the two counties broke out during past generations, the bird powerhouses took the lead. Nonetheless, their biggest trait was they could flee whenever they could not defeat the Humans...

In terms of frontal attacks, none of the creatures could compare with the beast herd at the immense forest; in terms of guerilla warfare and beheading, the bird powerhouses were the experts.

Qi Yangsuo was rather agitated when he expressed, “Your Highness, you’ve come to help us, and Huangsha County lent us a helping hand too. We’re extremely grateful.”

“Huangsha County?” Wu Hanning was surprised. “Who from Huangsha County is here?”

“Zuoqiu Hongyuan-their strongest powerhouse among the younger generation.”

Ou Yangming was moved, so he asked in shock, “Is Zuoqiu Hongyuan here?”

‘Her Highness hasn’t even responded. How dare someone interrupt our conversation without her permission?’ Qi Yangsuo was slightly stunned, but when he stole a glance at the princess’s followers, he noticed that they were not surprised at all. The clan leader realized at once that Ou Yangming had an unordinary identity.

“Sir, Young Master Zuoqiu came to Feiya City and assisted Sir Governor to protect the city. He established a brilliant achievement.”

Ou Yangming nodded but was confused. ‘Why isn’t Zuoqiu Hongyuan resisting enemies at Huangsha County? Why did he come here?’

“Has the spirit beast showed up yet?” Wu Hanning asked in a deep voice.

“Your Highness, I’m only the head of a small tribe at the border, and our communication with the city has been blocked, so I really can’t answer your question.” Qi Yangsuo smiled bitterly.

Wu Hanning frowned and questioned, “Have birds appeared at your pasture here then?” Qi Yangsuo turned gloomy right away. “Several days ago, a flock of iron-billed eagles came. We tried our best to resist them, but we ended up losing two clan members and a herd of cows and sheep.”

The princess and the others exchanged glances, and their hearts sank. Given that the isolated tribe could not escape from the misfortune, it was evident that the beast tide in Feiya and Xuanchen was not much better than the one in Changlong County. Birds were not the best in attacks, but they could cover wide areas. They neither needed a base area nor did they need to attack in waves because they could simply attack whenever and wherever they wanted to. This was the biggest issue with them.

All of a sudden, a whistle was sounded at the campsite.

Qi Yangsuo’s face took on a ghastly expression. “Your Highness, the enemies are attacking, so please excuse me for a moment.”

He opened the tent’s curtain and dashed out.

The other people looked at each other and left too. The tent seemed safe, but it was not actually the case. Besides, they were all skilled and bold, hence they would not be frightened by small dangers.

At the campsite, people were moving everywhere but there was a certain order amidst the chaos. It seemed like everyone had a clear sense of what they ought to do.

Ou Yangming looked at the people and noted softly, “Your Highness, the clan leader is quite capable.”

Wu Hanning nodded. “Judging from his leadership ability, he’s good enough to command a thousand people.” Bai Shixue looked around but was indifferent. ‘In terms of leadership ability only, who can be better than me?’

Far away, tens of black figures were seen in the sky. Nevertheless, it was odd because they simply hovered in the sky and did not fly toward the campsite as though they were afraid of something.

Qi Yangsuo furrowed his eyebrows. “This is weird. What are those iron-billed eagles doing?”

Iron-billed eagles were known to be greedy birds. Once they had a taste of success, they would not give up easily. During the previous attack, they became aware of the tribe’s situation, thus they flew back after a few days. Ou Yangming looked up at them for a brief moment and laughed. “They’re afraid of Multi-armed King Kong, so they don’t dare to come here.”

Everyone else looked at the massive creature in the distance. After Ou Yangming and his companions left, Multi-armed King Kong had been lying lazily on the ground and did not move an inch as if it was sound asleep. Even so, not to mention a living high-rank spirit beast, even if it was dead, it was so mighty that the ordinary iron-billed eagles could not resist

it.

Therefore, when the iron-billed eagles sensed the violent aura from afar, they could only hover in the sky as they did not have the guts to get any closer. Perhaps the noise from them finally infuriated Multi-armed King Kong, the fierce beast extended one of its arms and pointed at the sky in their direction.

Without any sound of wind or a surge of momentum, the tens of iron-billed eagles flying in the sky went numb and froze in mid-air. It would be fine if normal ferocious beasts were frozen, but the flying birds would be doomed.

They immediately fell from the sky and crashed hard into the ground.

While iron-billed eagles had beaks as tough as steel, their bodies were the opposite. As soon as they fell from the sky, they were killed and were covered in blood.

The people from the campsite were dumbfounded. They were fearful when they looked at the giant beast as big as a hill.

They knew how mighty iron-billed eagles were and had turned out in full strength for the previous attack but failed to take out any of the birds. Instead, they lost two Force Grade martial artists and sacrificed a herd of cows and sheep.

This time, the giant beast, which was lying on the ground, only pointed with its finger but wiped out every iron-billed eagle just like that.

It looked much easier than stepping on an ant.

Qi Yangsuo was struck dumb as well. A thought kept lingering in his mind.

‘How did Her Royal Highness subdue such a powerful spirit beast? The imperial family is unbelievably glorious indeed.’

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. Multi-armed King Kong had utilized the thunderbolt power, but it did it in such a mysterious way that the other people did not notice the thunderbolt’s trait.

“Brother Ou, we won’t be able to get any news here, so how about we hurry on to Feiya City? We might be able to find the spirit beast there.” Wu Hanning nodded and added slowly, “Strong spirit beasts can sense each other’s aura, so perhaps this will be a shortcut.” “Okay,” Ou Yangming responded after some thought.

With a flash of thought, Multi-armed King Kong, which was playing dead on the ground, instantly opened its eyes and got up to run toward its master.

Everyone in the campsite turned pale and was in despair because it felt like there was a landslide of an earthquake.

Despite that, Multi-armed King Kong stopped abruptly about 100 meters from the campsite. Then, Ou Yangming called out to his companions, who got up to the platform one after another, then they set out to the city.

Throughout the process, everyone in the campsite watched quietly, so much so that even Qi Yangsuo forgot to ask them to stay. Perhaps he subconsciously wanted the fearsome giant beast to leave as soon as possible.

At last, Qi Yangsuo exhaled deeply when the giant beast and the guests were out of sight.

A warrior, whose face had turned red, approached him and asked, “Clan Leader, I suppose the disaster will be resolved this time?”

Qi Yangsuo was startled. Seeing how eager the people around him were, he sighed and said, “Since the imperial family can control even a fierce beast like that, what can’t be impossible?”

After hearing his reply, the clan members that only had the cultivation base of Yin Grade could not help but cheer out loud. It was as though the Humans’ disaster was over.

The clan leader, on the other hand, looked in the direction where Multi-armed King Kong left. He was puzzled because it was not Her Highness who had conquered the spirit beast, but the young man. ‘Heroes come from youngsters indeed. I wonder what his name is.’

Having said that, nobody could tell if it was a blessing or a misfortunate for someone who was not from the imperial family to have control over such an enormous beast.

Everything was kept simple for now because the imperial family needed manpower. However, once the disaster was over, a powerhouse like Ou Yangming might not do the Humans any favor.

Qi Yangsuo was only an ordinary martial artist, but he had led a clan for years and seen much of the world, so he was slightly worried.

Ou Yangming and his companions obviously could not understand a little clan leader’s worries. They rode Multi-armed King Kong and traveled at the speed of light.

Even though Multi-armed King Kong had intentionally released airflow walls to block the harsh wind, Ou Yangming and the others could clearly hear explosive sounds. It was clear that once the spirit beast was going all out, it was unimaginably fast.

After an unknown period, the guide shouted, “We’re here, we’re here. Please stop now.” Multi-armed King Kong was not bothered at all. In any case, even if a mountain of swords or a sea of fire was ahead, it would keep advancing before Ou Yangming gave an order.

Ou Yangming looked ahead and noticed towering walls ahead. Though they were not as tall as the ones at Changlong County’s prefecture, they were superior in terms of the range they covered.

The young fellow delivered a message to the spirit beast through his sea of consciousness.

Multi-armed King Kong slowed down, but it could not come to a complete stop at once because it ran too quickly earlier.

At the spur of the moment, flames were seen on top of the main wall, then over 100 large rocks were launched at Multi-armed King Kong in wonderful arcs...
