Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 424 The Birds Attack The City

Countless birds came out of nowhere. When they spread their wings and flew toward Feiya City, it seemed like they blotted out the sky.

The magnificent scene was rarely seen even in Changlong County.

After all, the walking beasts were the ones that besieged Changlong County. Although the beasts were great in strength and momentum, most of them could not get past the city walls. On the other hand, apart from a limited number of people that could go to the top of the walls, the other people could only hear the beasts’ roars but could not witness the spectacular yet frightening scene.

However, it was different in Feiya City. Faced with the soaring birds in the sky, the towering walls were useless.

As long as one looked up at the sky and was not blind, one could see an endless flock of birds and could feel the fearsome pressure.

Nonetheless, Feiya City’s common folks seemed to be accustomed to it. Therefore, the city became empty once the alarm was sounded, such that people were rarely seen on the streets. Everyone was hiding at home, praying that the nightmare would end soon.

Ou Yangming looked at Multi-armed King Kong and sighed a breath of relief.

Given that the enemy was also a spirit beast, a spirit beast would have a greater power of discourse against it. Even though Multi-armed King Kong did not have wings, so it could not really threaten the goshawk, as long as it was around, Ou Yangming’s safety was still guaranteed. “Master Ou, over here!”

Many people shouted all of a sudden; Yu Hongli and the others were waving at the young fellow.

Earlier on, they broke out in cold sweats when Ou Yangming went out without warning. In actuality, since Yu Hongli and his people had not known the young fellow for long, it would be against their wills to say that they were worried about his safety. Instead of Ou Yangming, they were actually concerned about Multi-armed King Kong. They paid attention to the giant spirit beast after knowing that it was Ou Yangming’s pet.

If Ou Yangming were to end up in misfortune, nobody could guess how Multi-armed King Kong would react.

Feiya City would not be able to survive if it suddenly went mad.

Hence, seeing as Ou Yangming dodged a bullet, Yu Hongli and his people called out to him. They were determined to keep him protected no matter what.

Ou Yangming hesitated for a while, then he nodded at Multi-armed King Kong and uttered softly, “Thanks.”

He spoke softly, but Multi-armed King Kong heard him clearly. It lowered its head and responded to its master through its mental conception.

“Master, it’s my responsibility, so you don’t need to thank me.”

Ou Yangming smiled and flashed back to the battlement.

“Brother Ou, you were being too reckless,” Wu Hanning remarked in an accusatory tone.

Ni Yinghong and Bai Shixue did not say anything, but they agreed with the princess.

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly. He was grateful for them, so responded sincerely, “It’s fine. Multi-armed King Kong will protect me, so I won’t get hurt at all.”

“A true man won’t stand next to a collapsing wall. Brother Ou, even if it’s for the sake of Elder Sister Ying, you shouldn’t have been so rash.” Bai Shixue had a grim look on her face, which was rare.

Wu Hanning glanced at the young pavilion master and scorned. ‘Why did you address Ni Yinghong as Elder Sister Ning? Are you younger than the Ni family’s young lady?’ Nevertheless, Wu Hanning was envious when she shifted her gaze to Ni Yinghong.

Ni Yinghong was incredibly lucky to have met Ou Yangming first and captured his heart before anyone else could. As a result, even when the young fellow met more outstanding ladies after that, nobody could replace her.

If it was possible, the princess would be willing to do anything in exchange for an opportunity like that.

Ou Yangming smiled embarrassedly. Just as he was about to explain, his face changed.

Numerous people were shouting in the city at the moment. When the birds began to attack, the powerhouses started to defend the city and counterattacked.

“Woosh, woosh, woosh...”

Tens of fire rocks, which Ou Yangming had seen before, were hurled into the sky. The rocks themselves had powerful impacts, thus with the additional fuel and fire around them, they became ultimate killing weapons when they were launched. As such, birds that were hit by the fire rocks were either burned or had their bones broken. They fell from the sky and died.

The fire rocks were Feiya City’s greatest weapons against the ferocious birds. It was a valuable experience that they gained from past disasters. Unfortunately, it was not easy to produce fire rocks, and it was also extremely difficult to release them. Moreover, there were too few of them as compared to the innumerable birds.

While a fire rock could always clear a path in the sky whenever one was projected, the path would be covered by more birds in the blink of an eye.

Furthermore, the flying birds, which were causing a disaster for the Humans, were not creatures that would only be hit but would not fight back. When they swooped down on the people at absolute speeds, their sharp beaks and claws could easily slit the people’s body, leaving huge scars on them. In fact, some of the people’s limbs and bodies were sliced by the creatures.

Those were the doings of the most ordinary birds. As for the birds with cultivation bases, they were even more ruthless. In particular, whenever they flapped their wings, they would release unpredictable wind blades from time to time.

The wind blades were not as mighty as the goshawk’s, but they were stealthier.

More often than not, the wind blades’ effects were excellent after they were released, so the humans were having a difficult time resisting them.

The Humans and the Birds were in the heat of their battle almost from the very beginning. Birds were constantly shot down by the people through different weapons, but at the same time, the smaller birds would especially blind the people with their beaks while the big birds would capture people into the sky. The people that were brought up to the sky were either dropped to the ground from a great height or would be ripped apart in the air, causing a rain of blood.

Ou Yangming, Wu Hanning, and their companions lost interest in speaking long ago. After all, anyone that witnessed the hell-like scene would suffer great shock.

Ni Yinghong slowly inched toward Ou Yangming and whispered to him, “Thanks.” “What?” Ou Yangming was dumbfounded. “If it wasn’t for you, Changlong County’s prefecture would’ve been in this state too...” Ni Yinghong mumbled. Ou Yangming glanced at Multi-armed King Kong. Indeed, if the giant beast had not suddenly acknowledged him as its master but helped the wicked carry out evil deeds by leading the beast herd to attack the prefecture, Changlong County would have been in an even more miserable state.

The birds could ignore the walls as they could fly above the Humans to contend for supremacy, but their combat powers were inferior to the walking beasts.

Owing to that, when the people in the city guarded against the birds and gave their all to resist, they were not at a disadvantage.

Though death was inevitable for some of them, their situation was not worth mentioning as compared to if walking beasts were to trample over the city. “Shriek...” Suddenly, the goshawk whistled in the sky as though it was dissatisfied with its followers’ performance.

Multi-armed King Kong glared at the goshawk, then it widened its mouth and let out an earth-shattering roar.

As the two sounds clashed in the air, the beast kings’ violent momentums formed invisible shock waves, which were released from each of their bodies.

Creatures that were close to them felt giddy, whereas most of the humans fainted on the spot. As for the birds that were still flying mid-air, they were in terrible luck because they fell to the ground like raindrops. Even if they did not die, they could not continue to fly for the time being

Without the ability to fly, their combat powers plunged.

Upon seeing this, the human warriors filled in from other areas and went into a killing spree, causing blood to flow like a river.

The goshawk’s eyes reddened, and it questioned Multi-armed King Kong loudly, “Walking beast, why must you be my enemy?”

Multi-armed King Kong answered, “You’re there while I’m here. If you attack, hehe, I can’t stand by idly.”

It did not have a favorable impression of the Humans, but there were also many contradictions between the Fish, the Insects, the Birds, and the Beasts, so it was not close to any of the other races at all.

From Multi-armed King Kong’s perspective, the extinction of either the Humans or the Birds would be great news to it. Despite that, for the sake of Ou Yangming, the giant spirit beast took a side with a certain limit. At the very least, it could not let the goshawk get directly involved in the fight, or it could not justify its action to the young fellow.

The goshawk stared furiously at Multi-armed King Kong. If one’s rage could burn, the king kong would have been burnt into ashes by now.

Multi-armed King Kong seemed laid back. It was not bothered about the goshawk’s anger at all.

It could not hurt the flying goshawk, but the goshawk could not threaten it with its low-damage attacks too.

That said, the goshawk suddenly sneered. “Very well. Come and catch up to me if you can!”

Following that, it spread out its wings and turned into a stream of light, then it dodged Multi-armed King Kong and zoomed to another wall. Multi-armed King Kong did not expect this because it happened out of the blue.

Spirit beasts were at the peak of the pyramid in this world, each one having exceptional confidence and pride. As such, not every spirit beast would give up fighting a well-matched opponent and attack the weak instead. Having said that, the goshawk was not bothered at all. It arrived at another wall in a split second and opened its enormous mouth, then it released a long and thick wind blade and slashed it at the people as though it was a several-meters-long saber.
