Chapter 915: Chapter 711: Defending the City

Compared to Anthony, who is both a doctor and a knight, Ashley can be much more decisive.

In Ashley’s eyes, the Destiny Star Track spins rapidly, with threads of fate filling all directions.

These are all found in Guangchuan City, connected to the boss through him.

The two most solid are Su Yang and Tang Shiyang, while the rest are much more illusory, mostly some familiar neighbors, and teachers and classmates from Guangchuan Fourth Middle School, etc.

At this moment, one thread seems to have become somewhat dim.

Ashley’s eyes twitched slightly, and immediately leaped forward...

In a certain place in the city, to cover the retreat of dozens of citizens to a safe point, Zhuang Xun holds a longsword and battles seven or eight Ghost Fire Wolves.

"Wildfire!"

"Starfire Continuous Slash!"

With Zhuang Xun’s Gold Limit strength, dealing with these Silver Stage Ghost Fire Wolves poses no big problem.

"Instant Fire!"

With the last sword thrust, Zhuang Xun successfully pierced the leader of the Ghost Fire Wolves that barely reached the Gold Early Stage.

Looking up at the collapsing buildings and rising smoke around the city, Zhuang Xun felt heavy-hearted.

"I wonder how Fang Kun and Jiang Jun are doing..."

After catching his breath slightly, Zhuang Xun sought to hasten his actions.

But at that moment, the ground below suddenly shook. Even before Zhuang Xun could react, he was lifted by enormous force and thrown against a nearby wall.

"Uh!"

Zhuang Xun let out a muffled groan, his throat felt a sweetness, and blood immediately oozed from the corners of his mouth.

Looking up, it was a Rock-breaking Pangolin with a massive head!

Its aura was strong, clearly at Shining Star Level!

Zhuang Xun’s heart sank, yet he mocked himself, "My luck is truly unparalleled..."

The Rock-breaking Pangolin’s eyes glowed red, rushing forward and lunging at Zhuang Xun.

Zhuang Xun hurriedly deployed Flame Light Avatar, splitting himself into three.

The Rock-breaking Pangolin was experienced too. With its front claws on the ground, it swung its long tail and enveloped all three avatars within its attack range!

"Thud thud... bang!"

Two Flame Light Avatars instantly shattered, while Zhuang Xun was directly struck by the pangolin’s long tail, flung through two buildings before stopping at a wall!

"Wow," Zhuang Xun spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, feeling several of his bones had broken!

At this time, the Rock-breaking Pangolin swiftly crawled forward and leapt high to bite Zhuang Xun.

Zhuang Xun wanted to dodge, but after suffering a heavy blow, feeling suffocated, he struggled to stand up, so he could only raise his longsword to block the opponent’s mouth!

This was almost like giving up. But facing an absolute difference in strength and a surprise attack, Zhuang Xun had little choice.

"Am I really going to die here today, just as I’m about to step into the Upper Three-Level?"

Zhuang Xun was deeply troubled, but at that moment, a ring of Holy Light descended from the sky, directly trapping the lunging Rock-breaking Pangolin inside!

Zhuang Xun’s heart jumped with surprise, then joy: "Good deeds do get repaid; an expert intervened!"

Zhuang Xun turned his head, seeing Ashley holding the Golden Sun Divine Branch, stunned.

"Hmm??... It’s you, from Su Yuan’s..."

"Kill it first!" Ashley focused her mind, and the Holy Light from the Divine Court Curtain wrapped around the Rock-breaking Pangolin.

Though Zhuang Xun hadn’t fully reacted, he gritted his teeth and stood up, swinging his longsword to unleash his epic skill.

"Flame Crown Divine Dragon Strike!"

Fierce flames surged, and the longsword fiercely pierced the Rock-breaking Pangolin’s forehead.

"Gug!!"

The longsword penetrated inch by inch, and the Rock-breaking Pangolin screamed miserably, unable to break free from Ashley’s Holy Light Binding.

With a shout, Zhuang Xun pushed the entire longsword into the pangolin’s hard head!

The Rock-breaking Pangolin’s body trembled, and then fell silent.

"Whew... whew!"

Zhuang Xun pulled out his longsword, taking a deep breath, still feeling a bit excited.

"This is my first time killing a Shining Star Beast!" Zhuang Xun turned to Ashley, "This is..."

"Ashley."

"Ashley, you’re incredible!" Zhuang Xun’s eyes showed awe, "Are you perhaps also a Radiant Moon master like Su Yuan?"

"I’m different from him..."

Ashley was about to say something when her eyes narrowed, looking up into the mid-air ahead.

A ten-zhang long space rift suddenly tore open from the void, and a silent, yellow-faced man was hurled out by turbulent currents.

Unlike other Star Beasts, this yellow-faced man had a dark brand on his left cheek.

The moment he emerged, as if a switch was flipped, his eyes quickly turned blood-red, and his whole aura became violent.

"Roar!!"

After an angry roar, light surged, and to Zhuang Xun’s astounded gaze, he transformed into a massive one-footed Star Beast.

"Full Moon Level!"

Ashley’s expression turned wary.

The one-footed Star Beast immediately spotted Ashley and Zhuang Xun below, slowly bending to raise its foot.

In a blink, a vast footprint appeared in the zone beneath Ashley and Zhuang Xun.

Ashley intended to dodge, but suddenly foresaw something, her expression changed slightly, as she raised her left hand to cast a Holy Light pulling Zhuang Xun, who was also ready to dodge, back to her.

"What are you doing!"

Zhuang Xun was horrified, good heavens, not letting him escape?

Had it not been for her recent rescue, Zhuang Xun might have cursed out loud!

Ashley did not reply, instead grasping the Golden Sun Divine Branch, swiftly performing the Charging Technique.

"Tree Court Crown!"

Instantly, brilliant Holy Light rose, blocking overhead, with the Golden Crown Giant Tree vividly radiating endless Holy Light.

The one-legged giant bull in the air ahead had already lifted its single leg completely, without any stepping action, it immediately shot up into the sky and disappeared.

The next moment, it suddenly stomped down on the Golden Crown Giant Tree above Ashley and Zhuang Xun’s heads!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the air pressure collapsed, and the Golden Crown Giant Tree kept cracking under the stamp of the one-legged giant beast, making Zhuang Xun’s heart skip a beat!

"Have you got a death wish, still watching?"

Zhuang Xun turned his head and saw that Ashley had already run away, causing his expression to change, and he quickly used Flame Stepping to rush out with her.

In just a few seconds, the Golden Crown Giant Tree could no longer withstand the terrifying power of the one-legged giant beast’s stamp and was crushed!

"This is... Mang Mountain Kui Beast!"

Zhuang Xun’s face changed; he finally recognized it, feeling a surge of fear.

The Mang Mountain Kui Beast’s attack method is extremely singular, it’s all about the "stamp"!

But its stomp, combined with its unique talent, is comparable to moves involving causality.

Once it raises its leg, everything appearing where the footprint emerges has already been stamped on.

Even if you escape the range of the footprint, you’ll still bear the colossal impact from the stamp through the air!

If Ashley hadn’t pulled him under the Golden Crown Giant Tree just now, he would have probably been stamped into a pulp!

This uniqueness of the Mang Mountain Kui Beast makes it one of the most troublesome amongst all epic star beasts, even stronger than many high level species!

At this moment, the Mang Mountain Kui Beast, with its blood-red eyes filled with ferocity, looked at Ashley and Zhuang Xun, its single leg lifting again.

Zhuang Xun’s face turned white at the sight.

"Stay close to me!"

Ashley shouted low, her Destiny Star Track spinning rapidly in her eyes, predicting the footprint’s position in the nick of time, and immediately dodged to the right with Zhuang Xun.

The next moment, a giant footprint appeared beside them.

"Boom!!"

With a loud bang, the Mang Mountain Kui Beast landed again, the ground crumbled like tofu!

Seeing the Mang Mountain Kui Beast so close, Zhuang Xun swallowed his saliva, while Ashley took the opportunity to quickly cast spells using the Golden Sun Divine Branch.

"Quadruple casting, Prism Light Seal!"𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Instantly, four layers inside and out, groups of six Holy Light Pyramids quickly condensed and inserted into the Mang Mountain Kui Beast!

The Mang Mountain Kui Beast shuddered, then its actions were restricted.

"Can this hold him?" Zhuang Xun quickly asked.

"I don’t know."

At this moment, the Mang Mountain Kui Beast roared, its muscles knotted, and the veins on its body twisted like dragons, terrifying!

"Clang..."

With a crisp sound, the first Holy Light Pyramid suddenly shattered!

And this was just the beginning, one after another, the Holy Light Pyramids shattered increasingly faster under the beast’s immense power.

Zhuang Xun’s face turned pale: "No, it’s going to break free!"

Ashley’s brows slightly knitted, after all, she was only at the Waning Moon stage, her star power was much lower than that of the Mang Mountain Kui Beast.

Coupled with its terrifying strength, even the advantage of multiple spell casting could only help hold on a bit longer.

Walk away directly...? Ashley’s eyes flashed with hesitation.

At this time, the number of Holy Light Pyramids on the Mang Mountain Kui Beast was decreasing rapidly, it had almost regained half of its mobility.

Ashley took a deep breath, the golden Destiny Star Track in her eyes paused slightly and then suddenly began to spin in reverse, while blue-black ripples spread in her ruby-like pupils.

Since she had decided to help the boss protect his hometown city, it was necessary to restrain this Full Moon level Mang Mountain Kui Beast now!

Otherwise, if it broke free, the destruction it would cause couldn’t be compared to other star beasts!

"Demon Decree..."

Just as Ashley was about to launch the Demon Decree, suddenly, the temperature dropped sharply!

A pure white figure like white mist suddenly appeared from the sky and struck the Mang Mountain Kui Beast’s chest with a knife!

"Hmm? She’s here?" Seeing the white-haired girl holding a long knife stabbed into the Mang Mountain Kui Beast’s chest, Ashley’s expression slightly changed.

The Mang Mountain Kui Beast seemed to sense danger, roaring and preparing to swipe at the person in front of it.

"Frozen Elegy."

A soft and cool voice escaped from the white-haired girl’s mouth, followed by a shimmering frost light from the knife, an exquisite and grand ice rune appeared where the long knife pierced.

In an instant, frost and snow roared, a chill surged! The terrifying icy force erupted from the knife, and the Mang Mountain Kui Bull was immediately frozen into a large ice sculpture from the chest with astonishing speed!

Moments later, the girl pulled out the long knife.

Suddenly, countless cracks appeared on the enormous ice sculpture, then with a "kacha," it shattered into numerous ice pieces...

Ashley looked at the white-haired girl like an Ice Princess in mid-air, and gave a slight bow: "Miss Bing Tong."

This suddenly appearing white-haired girl, was Luo Bingtong, whom they hadn’t seen in a long time.

At this moment, her aura had also been raised to the Full Moon level!

Zhuang Xun stared blankly at Luo Bingtong, unable to comprehend how someone so young could possess such strength!

In reality, even at Demon Capital Academy, Luo Bingtong wasn’t very noticeable at that time, almost overlooked by everyone.

Events like the Demon City Holy Spring and national competitions were not participated in by Luo Bingtong, she only gained some fame with the South Pole Academy’s Five-leaf Essences.

"Ash...ley..." Luo Bingtong responded once, then looked around, "Where’s Su Yuan?"

Ashley said: "The boss went to the Grey Realm first."

"What, Su Yuan went into the Grey Realm?" Zhuang Xun exclaimed, "Isn’t that a place only the military goes to!"

However, it was evident that he couldn’t join the conversation between the two women.

Luo Bingtong said: "I also.... will go."

Ashley pondered a little, then shook her head.

"Don’t worry about the boss, with his current strength he can handle anything, he should be back soon.

Instead of going to the Grey Realm to find him, it’s better to guard this city for him first."

Luo Bingtong looked around, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Okay."
