Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 542 - : A Battle of Life and Death (Complete)

Chapter 542: Chapter 542: A Battle of Life and Death (Complete)

“Ah!”

A shrill scream suddenly rose from atop the city walls.

The venom sprayed by the Giant Centipede had extremely intense corrosive properties, and many cultivators were penetrated in an instant, their Body Protection Magical Armor dissolved, followed by their robes and flesh melting away.

Cultivators with quick reflexes immediately swung their swords to cut away the corroded flesh, and some even directly amputated their arms tainted with the venom.

However, some of the less powerful Battle Cultivators immediately collapsed to the ground and, in the blink of an eye, melted into a puddle of pus and blood.

That wasn’t all, the venom severely eroded the inscribed talismans on the city walls, causing some damage to the City Protecting Great Array—the billions of talismans carved on the wall’s surface were an essential part of the array.

Fortunately, the Mana Barrier of the City Protecting Great Array was still strong, holding back most of the venomous splashes. Otherwise, the casualties and losses would have been far greater!

Boom!

The next moment, the Giant Centipede slammed heavily against the already deformed city gate once more.

The full-metal gate, weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds, actually displayed a crack wide enough for one person to pass through!

Given the situation, if the Giant Centipede continued to ram a couple more times, the gates of Weifa City would be breached!

Roar!

Just then, a heaven-shaking roar erupted from within the city.

The overwhelmed city gates burst open inward, and a massive White Tiger sped along the main street, leaping up into the air just before the city gates.

It landed right on the Giant Centipede!

This White Tiger was also dozens of yards long, with a pure white body emanating a faint glow. Despite its formidable appearance, it didn’t quite seem real, not like a flesh and blood creature.

The damage the White Tiger caused to the Giant Centipede, however, was very real.

Splat!

The tiger’s claws, sprung from its paws, mercilessly tore open the centipede, or rather the Two-Headed Giant’s body.

Although the giants making up the centipede all reinforced themselves with thick stone armor, under the tiger’s claws it was as if made of paper, easily ripped and shredded apart.

Blood gushed out wildly!

At the same time, the White Tiger opened its jaws wide and viciously bit into the Giant Centipede, the sound of bones breaking and tendons snapping could be heard clearly from miles away.

The Giant Centipede couldn’t endure being harmed by the White Tiger at will, and it suddenly curled up its long body, its tail curling back, tightly coiling around the White Tiger.

The two entangled with each other, rolling and biting fiercely in front of the city gate.

From the spot where the Giant Centipede had first emerged, countless Evil Monsters swarmed out of the deep pit and the tunnels, screeching as they charged through the breached gates.

“Kill!”

A cultivator standing behind the city gates widened his eyes and shouted, swinging his Magic Sword directly at the tide of Evil Monsters before he had time to cast any spells.

Many Cultivators from the Purple Mansion who hovered in the air quickly changed direction, exerting all their strength to cast fireballs, Wind Blades, and lightning spells to block them.

In an instant, the city gate entrance was inundated with an array of spells!

Wang Chen, holding the Hidden Dragon Staff, leaped down from the several dozen yards high city wall and dashed forward nearly a hundred steps.

His staff struck down on the head of an Evil Monster that resembled a lizard.

This monster, which was extremely fast and at the forefront of the vanguard, was unexpectedly hit by the Hidden Dragon Staff, and its huge head instantly burst apart.

Having struck decisively, Wang Chen landed on the main street.

He turned around, his normally pitch-black eyes now a crimson red color, and the Hidden Dragon Staff in his hand ignited with searing flames, stretching and thickening in moments.

Facing dozens of Evil Monsters that had just breached through the cultivators’ line and invaded the city, Wang Chen fiercely swung the fiery long staff in his hand.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Hidden Dragon Staff, trailing a sky full of flames, swept across all the Evil Monsters in front of him.

The evil monsters struck by this high-tier spiritual artifact were either smashed into pieces or torn apart, with not a single one escaping unscathed!

Wang Chen stood firm on the long street, sweeping, jabbing, thrusting, smashing, pulling, and swinging his staff like a dragon, destroying each oncoming evil monster one after another.

Meanwhile, more cultivators appeared on his left and right, each bringing forth their own magic artifacts and flying swords to resist the enemy together.

The battle at the city gate had reached a fever pitch!

“Roar~”

A roar that pierced the clouds came from outside the city from the White Tiger.

After entangling with the Giant Centipede for a hundred breaths, the beast suddenly erupted with terrifying power, forcibly breaking free from the deadly embrace of the strong, and with claws and fangs together, tore apart the centipede’s body.

Since this special centipede was composed of a large number of Two-Headed Giants, it collapsed into pieces after its long body was severed, and was subsequently attacked by the God-Slaying Cannon and the cultivators, suffering heavy casualties in an instant.

The surviving Two-Headed Giants let out reluctant roars, and then jumped one after another into the deep pits and tunnels.

The army of evil monsters that had also been heavily damaged followed suit, burrowing into the ground to escape.

The White Tiger soared into the sky, looking down at the seemingly bottomless pit and opened its gaping maw.

The next moment, a crimson-gold beam of light shot out from its throat.

Boom!

The ground trembled violently as the beam expelled by the White Tiger penetrated the earth, causing an incredibly fierce explosion.

An unknown number of evil monsters were utterly destroyed!

However, after delivering this strike, the White Tiger clearly appeared much weaker, and its radiance also dimmed significantly.

In fact, in its duel with the Giant Centipede, it had indeed emerged victorious, but also suffered considerable damage.

Even its tail was cut off by a half!

The White Tiger turned and leapt onto the city wall, roared toward the direction of the Sect’s Law Hall, and then turned into a streak of flowing light that shot forth.

It vanished in the blink of an eye.

And with the disappearance of the giant White Tiger, this life-and-death battle for defense finally came to a close.

The army of evil monsters truly withdrew this time, not returning for another onslaught, and even the ominous clouds over Weifa City dissipated.

Once again, the Dark Moon shone over this majestic city.

However, the cultivators within the city felt little joy in their victory.

Many were silently licking their wounds from the fierce battle.

Although the battle had not lasted very long, the casualties among the city’s defenders, particularly the battle cultivators and Taoist soldiers, were significant, with their bodies lying strewn on several nearly breached sections of the wall.

Even more tragic were those whose bodies could not be found at all!

What followed were the processes of cleaning up the battlefield, treating the wounded, and repairing the city gate, but Wang Chen, as a pioneering cultivator, naturally did not participate.

However, he received a message from Yun Feifei sent via a Messaging Jade Talisman, that she and Li Mengyan, among others, were all safe and sound.

Even though they had also taken part in the battle.

After some thought, Wang Chen returned to his temporary residence in Weifa City.

Due to its location, his dwelling had not been affected by the flames of war, but many nearby buildings had collapsed.

The teenager and his mother were at home, and upon seeing Wang Chen’s return, both of them showed a joyful expression.

After all, encountering a tenant like Wang Chen, who was generous and kindhearted, was truly not easy.
