Chapter 516 Fleeing in Battle is Punished by Death, the Terrifying Strength of the Beast Spirit

In the midst of everyone's bewilderment, they simultaneously struck at the void.

At this moment, Wei Jin raised his greatsword.

A pulling force drew all the more than ten thousand sword shadows behind him.

With a single downward strike, he pierced the sky. Those blood race powerhouses, along with their weapons, exploded into pieces.

Where it passed, a massive chasm nearly split the entire blood race formation in half.

"What a terrifying combined... attack formation..."

People were greatly surprised, this was the first time they had witnessed such a method of attack.

That strike just now was no weaker than an attack unleashed by a Saint Body Realm powerhouse after charging up.

"Barbarian, can you block it?"

The one asked was the Saint Body Realm powerhouse who had fought with Chu Tian. He had been whipped away by Long Que earlier, and after returning, he hid amongst the crowd.

"I can dodge, but to block... I will definitely be injured!"

The affirmation from a Saint Body Realm powerhouse made people look upon the Zhongdu Military Guard with even greater respect.

"Torrential Rain Pear Blossom Formation!" Wei Jin shouted.

Chu Tian, in the air, did not participate in the battle.

After using the Beastly Blessing, he simply followed above, hovering.

At this moment, Wei Jin commanded, and the Torrential Rain Pear Blossom Formation shifted.

The originally orderly ranks suddenly dispersed chaotically.

It was truly like the legendary Torrential Rain Pear Blossom Needles, that peerless hidden weapon,

suddenly spewing out countless fine needle-like projectiles.

And the Zhongdu Military Guards, at this moment, were spewing out people and horses.

Chu Tian did not understand why Wei Jin did this; it was clearly better to fight together than to disperse.

Yet, he had issued such an order.

Now, the Zhongdu Military Guards were fighting individually.

Only then did everyone realize that even when fighting alone, the Zhongdu Military Guards were all terrifying existences.

Most importantly, their composure and effortless mastery on the battlefield.

Each of them had become one with their Qilin mounts, the Qilin beasts focusing on defense, and the Zhongdu Military Guards on offense.

Their coordination was extremely tacit, showcasing the demeanor of true experts, and each individual was so formidable.

To those watching from the rear, this was undoubtedly a well-trained army.

It was just that Chu Tian knew that the Zhongdu Military Guards had only fought for a little over half a month after obtaining their Illusory True Qilin mounts.

That was when he commanded them to destroy several demon races.

And these fellows, their cultivation reaching the Battle God Realm, must also be recent.

Because when they left Myriad Beast City a few days ago, their cultivation levels were uneven.

There were even people at the Yellow Realm cultivation.

And now, Wei Jin had become the one with the lowest cultivation.

"Truly worthy of being called the strongest unit in Myriad Beast City; everyone is an elite among elites."

Many people admired them in their hearts.

Even Wan Baolu and Xiao Zhan showed envious expressions in their gazes.

They looked back at the rabble behind them.

"Qingshui City, obey the order! Block the alien races and buy time for the great formation to be established!"

Wan Baolu gritted his teeth and shouted.

"This..."

"City Lord... you can't be serious, can you?"

No one rushed forward in response to his call; instead, those present looked displeased and voiced their objections.

At this moment, Wan Baolu's face turned green.

In reality, it couldn't be entirely blamed on them. Qingshui City had always been a prosperous place.

Its geographical location was such that there were no powerful demonic beasts.

With the City Lord, there was always food and drink...

Furthermore, for natives of Qingshui City, who were clan leaders, or even relatives of clan leaders, to settle there.

To enter Qingshui City, one might even have to betray their own tribe to gain benefits, carrying sufficient assets to purchase a place of refuge?

On the surface, Qingshui City appeared to be a paradise on earth.

Unfortunately, the people within, their inner filth and selfishness, were unbearable to behold.

If not for the many benefits Wan Baolu had promised this time, how could so many people have followed him?

However, when Wan Baolu set out, he had promised everyone that there would be no danger.

They were merely going to the City of Oblivion to pressure it into handing over the City Lord's Seal.

Now... Wan Baolu was asking them to fight these monsters?

Wasn't that a joke?

Were not all those who squeezed their way into Qingshui City to live, those who wished to stay away from conflict and enjoy a peaceful life?

To put it bluntly... they were cowards, cunning schemers who had sold everything they could, people who just wanted to scrape by... that's why they went to Qingshui City to settle!

"You..." Wan Baolu's face contorted, his hands trembling with anger.

"Lord City Lord, why don't we just return to Qingshui City?"

"Exactly! This place is so far from our Qingshui City, and don't we have our city-protecting formation?"

"Right! If we bring back the Azure Dragon Beast Spirit, we'll be incredibly safe!"

...

While the Zhongdu Military Guards fought valiantly at the front, the people of Qingshui City were already starting to retreat.

Ssss...

Suddenly, within the ranks of Qingshui City, space flickered continuously.

Finally, a streak of cyan light returned outside the crowd.

"He who incites mutiny shall die..."

This streak of cyan light appeared beside Wan Baolu, gradually revealing its form.

Wan Baolu trembled and took a step back in fear.

What scared Wan Baolu was not the person himself, but what he was holding in his hand.

Glistening with fresh blood, emitting heat, and still pulsing with a beat.

It was... six hearts that had just been plucked out!

"You..."

Thump...

In the crowd, six people suddenly collapsed to the ground at the same moment.

This immediately caused a stir of alarm.

Each of the six had a fist-sized wound on their chest.

Blood gushed out like a fountain.

But it didn't flow far before being frozen by the cold temperature.

"What do you mean 'you'? Chu Tian predicted this when he left. Do you want to be the seventh?"

Splat...

Xiao Long Nu raised her eyebrows and looked at the person who had spoken. At the same time, she loosened her grip and dropped the hearts she was holding onto the ground.

When Chu Tian had whispered in her ear earlier, he had told her to kill anyone on the spot who expressed a desire to flee.

"Seven... eight... nine... ten..."

"One hundred and sixty-eight..."

Just then, an even colder voice rang out, counting at an extremely rapid pace.

Everyone turned their heads and saw the woman in the fiery red gown, her fingers moving in quick succession.

With each flick of her finger, a spark of fire shot out.

The direction was towards the spatial boundary point behind them.

"What's going on?" asked a Saint Body Realm powerhouse from the City of Oblivion.

He cast his gaze backward.

He just happened to see the last person being struck by a spark.

In an instant, he turned into a puff of ash, scattering on the boundary of that spatial threshold.

"Someone tried to escape... All... all dead!"

This Saint Body Realm powerhouse shivered.

His mouth twitched slightly, and when his gaze returned to Dong Dong, he couldn't help but shudder.

"All of them are from Qingshui City, and one is even a Saint Body Realm..."

This person muttered.

"What? Even a Saint Body Realm was instantly killed..."

"Hmph... Fleeing from battle should have meant burning them for three days and three nights before execution! Luckily for them, I don't have time to play today!"

A faint voice emanated from Dong Dong.

There were no excessive threats, merely the recounting of an ordinary event.
