Terran Guardian

Chapter 129: The Might Of A Grandmaster.

True Qi exploded.

The spear was fixed in place.

Chu Ding's arms shook violently. The golden light finally stopped, showing its original appearance, before weakly falling from the air.

Retracting the spear, Chu Ding's feet, which seemed to be rooted in the city wall, finally moved a bit.

Whew~!

His chest rose and fell, sweat was faintly visible on his forehead.

"Is the General okay" Wen Ce could only react now.

Looking at the sweating Chu Ding, his expression changed greatly.

It was only after a long time passed, did Chu Ding move his sore shoulders while shaking his head slightly: "I'm fine!"

When speaking, he had already looked at the camp behind the Barbarians. Even in the dark, he could see Merba holding a big bow.

"Merba is indeed worthy of being a Barbarian General. He is so far and yet he can still fire an arrow of this level. If it was closer, I may not be able to stop it!"

Chu Ding's face was solemn.

He just had a confrontation with Merba in the air.

If he had to describe it in a few words, it would be: miserable defeat.

The opponent's strength was too strong, and Chu Ding couldn't compete at all.

Looking back on that arrow shot now, he still had lingering fears.

Hearing this, Wen Ce looked worried: "If Merba is so powerful and he attacks directly, the pressure on our side will definitely increase!"

"This drawback is natural, as Jin City has no Grandmaster. But now that two armies are at war, the power of a single Grandmaster cannot sweep everything."

"Although Merba is strong, we can still hold on for the time being."

After speaking, Chu Ding seemed to have thought of something.

"Why haven't I seen Lord Shen?"

Currently in Jin City, the strongest person was not him, but Shen Changqing.

If Shen Changqing was here, not to mention dealing with Merba, it may even give them a little more confidence in this pessimistic looking war.

Wen Ce said in a deep voice: "Lord Shen is in seclusion. It seems that he is about to make a breakthrough!"

"Breakthrough!"

Chu Ding's eyes brightened.

"You mean, he's going to break through to the Grandmaster Realm!?"

Chu Ding tightly gripped his spear in his hand, his mind was slightly affected.

Grandmaster.

It was not something ordinary people could achieve.

However, if in the current situation, if there was one Grandmaster helping, then the possibility of successfully defending Jin City will become a bit higher.

"I am not sure, but I think it should be the breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm!"

"Good!"

Chu Ding nodded. He did not let anyone force Shen Changqing to leave his seclusion, because there was no need for that.

Judging from the current battle situation, it would be difficult for an Innate Outer Astral Realm Cultivator to change anything.

On the other hand, if there was a Grandmaster, it would make a big difference.

Hence, instead of letting Shen Changqing come out to help now, it was better to let the other party break through first. Maybe the breakthrough will be completed soon.

"His strength is not bad. He's able to stop my arrow!"

On the other end, after seeing Chu Ding taking an arrow from him, Merba nodded approvingly.

There were not many people who could take an arrow from him.

At least ever since the invasion of the Great Wilderness Province, there were only a handful of Great Qin people who could do so.

At this moment, Chu Ding became one of them.

"But"

"That's all there is!"

Merba's smile disappeared and his face became cold. He took two arrows, drew the bow, and shot them instantly.

Two golden rays of light broke through the sky, like two golden dragons soaring amidst the dark night.

"Kill!"

Chu Ding let out a roar, and as his spear danced, the Qi turned into seven spear flowers, each of which contained potent killing intent.

As the spears bloomed, the golden streaks of light arrived.

In an instant, the spear flowers withered, and the True Qi shattered, inch by inch.

Chu Ding's feet were rooted and his spear trembled wildly, as he fought against the two golden lights.

Finally, the golden light fell to the ground.

His arm was flushed red. The skin between his thumb and pointer finger was torn and blood flowed non-stop.

At this time, another golden light came from the sky.

An early warning rose in Chu Ding's heart. His body only had time to avoid being struck in a key place. Immediately after, he felt a sharp pain, as his left shoulder was pierced by a long arrow.

"General!"

Seeing that Chu Ding was injured, Wen Ce's face changed drastically.

"This is nothing"

Chu Ding shook his head and gritted his teeth, before forcibly pulling out the arrow in his shoulder, making the blood spurt.

With an extremely quick speed, he immediately tapped the acupoints around his shoulder a few times, which stopped the blood from flowing further.

"Collect the golden arrows. We'll definitely return' it to him later!"

Chu Ding's face was slightly pale, but his aura was still undiminished. Holding the spear in one hand, he remained standing upright on the back of the city wall.

He could see that after shooting four arrows, Merba had no more arrows to use.

The distance between them was hundreds of meters, not any arrow could be shot so far and with such a powerful force.

In addition to Merba's tyrannical strength, special arrows were also essential.

Now that Merba had no arrows in his hands, there was no threat in a short period of time.

On the other side, Merba lowered the big bow in his hand. His expression did not look good.

"Fine, since you forced me to use my four arrows, I will remember you. Once Jin City is broken through, I will definitely cut your head off with my own hands!"

Just as Chu Ding thought, Merba had no more arrows to use.

This special kind of arrow costs a lot to make even one. 

The Barbarians' lands were barren to begin with, so it was not an easy task to create such arrows.

When he set out on the expedition, Merba only carried a small amount of arrows, and during the siege of the cities for several days, it played a powerful role at every critical moment.

Sometimes, the arrows could be recovered when they broke through the city.

But sometimes, it would be lost.

Currently, he had no more arrows to use in his hand, unless he could retrieve the four arrows. Otherwise, he would have no way to threaten Chu Ding for the time being.

After all, the two were too far apart.

If he used ordinary arrows, even if it could reach the city wall, there was no way it could pose a big threat to the opponent.

"Pass along my order. Attack Jin City at full force. Tonight we break into the city!"

Merba ordered in anger.

Immediately, the Barbarian army hastened their steps.

From a high altitude, it could be seen that the Barbarian army had surrounded Jin City in groups, with Barbarians attacking the four walls.

Fortunately, the Black Tiger Army had been prepared for a long time. When the Barbarians launched their fierce offensive, they made effective resistance as soon as possible.

[Boom~]

The city walls shook.

A Mighty Ape braved the rain of arrows and advanced, its huge fist bombarded the city wall, making a deafening sound.

"Don't let the Mighty Ape attack the city wall!"

A Commander's expression changed drastically.

Even though the city wall seemed to be very stable, the attack of the Mighty Ape was very terrifying. If it was allowed to attack, it would likely cause the city wall to collapse.

Soon, kerosene was poured down, before getting lit by a torch that was thrown below.

Fire raged, burning the Mighty Ape's black hair. A strong stench wafting out from it.

"Roar!!"

The pain caused by the burning fire made the Mighty Ape angrily roar. It kept rolling on the ground, trying to put out the fire on its body.

At the same time, there were also Barbarians attacking the gates.

Dozens of Barbarians carried sharpened wooden stakes and slammed into the city gate, causing the city gate to make harsh noises.

Behind the city gate, the Black Tiger Army was fighting frantically, and the Barbarians could not break through.

The falling rocks caused many Barbarians, who attacked the city gate, to be killed.

It's just that after a Barbarian was killed, another would take their place.

"Fire the arrows!"

"Fire the arrows!"

Behind the city wall, the Black Tiger Army shot out a neat rain of arrows, continuously causing damage to the Barbarians' forces.

At the same time, the Barbarians responded with their own rain of arrows, and both sides suffered casualties.

Apart from that.

Some Barbarians used rockets (fireworks) and when they crossed the city wall, they shot it into Jin City, setting the buildings on fire.

Chu Ding's face was gloomy.

"Let some go to the city and put out the fire. Don't let the fire spread."

"Understood!"

Wen Ce then led the order to retreat and took a part of the Black Tiger Army to put out the fire.

Spears stained with blood.

Arrows rained through the flesh.

After two hours, the Barbarian siege did not stop even for a little while. The Black Tiger Army troops on the front changed batches after batches, still constantly resisting the attack.

On the Barbarian's rear.

Merba looked at the stubbornly resisting Black Tiger Army, and turned his head to the Barbarian Shaman to the side.

"I ask the Shaman to please take action and help our clan break through Jin City!"

"No problem!"

The Barbarian Shaman nodded, followed by chanting some incantations. A black mist-like power then emanated from his entire body.

Swinging the bone scepter, all of the black mist gathered on it.

In the black mist, there seemed to be countless mournfully screaming faces.

"Go!"

"Kill them!"

The Barbarian Shaman shouted loudly, as he pointed the bone scepter forward sharply, sending the black mist flying towards Jin City.

A Black Tiger Army troop was touched by the black mist, and the blood in his whole body was sucked dry in an instant.

The black mist surged like a woman's wail.

The moment, the black mist turned into a huge rotten female head that then devoured the rest of the Black Tiger Army troop. 

"Monster, you're courting death!"

Seeing this scene, Chu Ding was furious. Currently, the wound on his shoulder has been bandaged. He clenched the spear in his right hand. A terrifying cold light erupted, and he struck towards the rotten head.

Seeing the incoming spear, the rotten head spewed black mist, trying to engulf Chu Ding.

However, spear lights burst out, tearing the black mist apart in an instant. The spear then continued unhindered in its path and plunged directly into the rotten head.

"Ahhh"

The rotting head let out a miserable wail, as it got forcibly torn by the spear, before finally dissipating like smoke.

When the rotten head disappeared, the Barbarian Shaman trembled slightly, but he didn't stop. Rather, he muttered something again, shook his bone scepter and sent a number of monsters that turned into black mist towards Jin City.

Seeing this, Chu Ding immediately shouted.

"All of the people at the Qi Circulation Realm and above, clean up the monsters!"
