Chapter 590: Chapter 591 Fierce Battle_1

"What did you think of?"

The phantom of Agunas was somewhat puzzled; it didn’t understand what Feng Yuan had thought of. Feng Yuan glanced at the phantom of Agunas and said,

"You can guess why Lorraine Tower passed through here."

"Isn’t it a coincidence?"

"The inevitable within the coincidence, yo."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Guo Huai and the others contemplated what connection there might be between the two names Feng Yuan had mentioned earlier and the passing of Lorraine Tower. The middle-aged man retreated and changed back into a White Ape, complaining to everyone,

"Don’t slack off—relying solely on me won’t stop those people."

After a glance at Feng Yuan, Guo Huai once again charged into battle with those legendary beings. Their sole purpose in fighting was to hold back the powerful enemies so that they didn’t have enough strength to attack Nanyu City floating in the sky. However, as casualties on their side mounted, the pressure on everyone increased.

"That strike from Lorraine Tower relieved a lot of pressure."

Feng Yuan stroked Xiao Ji beside him and said with a smile. Hearing his words, Yao Yin said irritably,

"If it weren’t for your Xiao Ji acting up, we could have had an easier time."

Feng Yuan glanced at the still fighting Little Green Snake. Theoretically, a legendary-level Spirit Beast could fight for three days and nights without losing combat effectiveness. However, to avoid weakening due to prolonged battles, everyone took turns fighting. Spirit Beasts that weren’t of legendary level didn’t have this capability and were not much different from people like Mo Li.

Even though Coming of the Future temporarily elevated the Little Green Snake to legendary-level, it might still have some shortcomings in strength, but the legendary-level’s powerful regenerative abilities wouldn’t be affected.

"But what’s the deal with those horns on your head?"

After releasing a round of spells and resting, Yao Yin looked at Feng Yuan’s head, touched the hard demonic horns, and Feng Yuan said proudly,

"Do they look good?"

"What use are they?"

"It’s just residual power; it will fade away on its own after a while."

Feng Yuan shook his head, and Xiao Ji lay on the White Wolf Deity’s back, watching Feng Yuan intently. Looking at the increasing number of enemies, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"I wonder if we can hold out until Nanyu City reaches the sea."

"Speaking of which, why is everyone fighting on their own? Isn’t there anyone commanding us as a whole?"

Yao Yin found it somewhat unbelievable. Whether they were rescuing people earlier or switching combat positions, there was no one to direct them or tell them what to do. Feng Yuan looked up at Nanyu City floating in the sky and said,

"The primary defense is on Nanyu City. On the ground, it’s actually just to delay the joint forces, to give breathing time to the Nanyu City’s guards and reduce the pressure of battle."

"If so, why would she..."

"After all, as the martial goddess of Nanyu Kingdom, she needs to repay Nanyu Kingdom, just like you. If your sect encountered something similar, what would you do?"

"Me?"

"I..."

Yao Yin was silent, and seeing the middle-aged man get injured again, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"He’s the same; perhaps it’s love for Nanyu Kingdom that led him to be here."

"Actually, neither he nor Ding Wu are from the guards. The guards arranged by the Royal Court of Nanyu were already few and far between by morning."

"Why?"

Yao Yin was somewhat confused. Even though their side was powerful, if the Royal Court of Nanyu had concentrated a large number of legendary beings, they should have been able to hold out until now.

"Because they’ve been restraining the main forces all this time. Otherwise, why do you think the number of enemies is increasing? It’s such a pity for those Spirit Beasts..."

"Emotions too deep to run away?"

Feng Yuan looked at Xiao Ji beside him, then at the Telekinetic Brown Bear beside Wei Dingwu. Yao Yin sighed and said,

"It’s their choice; we have no right to judge them."

"Can you still fight now?"

Yao Yin glanced at Feng Yuan and asked, "The enemies are increasing in number. Even though we keep rotating our forces, it’s becoming more and more difficult to hold on." Taking up the Sickle, Feng Yuan slid down from the White Wolf Deity and swung it saying,

"Barely making it."

"Fall back!"

Feng Yuan rushed forward, grabbed a middle-aged man who had been fighting continuously, and threw him backward, saying to the White Ape,

"I’ll take his place from here."

The White Ape looked worriedly at the middle-aged man, who was struggling to get up, but the White Wolf Deity pushed him onto his back. Touching his own wound, the middle-aged man said helplessly,

"Ah, you guys, you really have no experience in prolonged combat."

This wasn’t him talking nonsense, as he had already noticed that Feng Yuan’s group hadn’t been conserving their strength. As a result, even when they started rotating their forces later on, their combat ability kept declining due to exhaustion. Feng Yuan, without turning his head, said,

"Stop it! You’ve managed to store some physical strength, but continuously absorbing the power of the White Ape martial master, can your body handle it?!"

Seeing that the enemies were relentless, Feng Yuan put away the Black Sickle and took out the Black Wolf God Greatsword. With a thrust into the ground and a shattering movement, he let the Black Wolf God Greatsword and the devouring maelstrom attack the enemies on their own. Feng Yuan, taking up a staff, said,

"It seems that Nagna has sorted things out."

With a wave of the staff, the Rain of Life slowly fell, though its range wasn’t large, only covering the area where Feng Yuan and the others were. Under the influence of the Rain of Life, the injuries Mo Li and the others sustained from overusing the Spirit Beast powers were slowly healing, and their stamina was also being replenished in the Rain of Life.

"Why didn’t you use this move earlier?"

Guo Huai said with some dissatisfaction, as everyone aside from those like Feng Yuan, Yao Yin, and Mo Ling who were in the rear were covered in wounds. Feng Yuan, commanding vines to intercept the enemies and not turning his head, said,

"Nagna’s power has only just become available for me to use. How could I have used it earlier?"

"Moreover, the power I can call upon is not plentiful."

Swinging his staff, Feng Yuan focused on the ceaseless enemies and the Black Wolf God Greatsword followed his commands, attacking the enemies while the maelstrom continuously swirled around, blocking those attacks that were hard to dodge. Seeing that Feng Yuan could only manipulate a few vines to assist in the attack, everyone understood that he was telling the truth. That guy would surely not weaken his own combat strength just to find an excuse.

Thanks to Nagna’s power borrowed by Feng Yuan, and the recovery provided by the Rain of Life, everyone managed to hold on. However, seeing that more and more powerful enemies were surrounding them, everyone understood that there were probably not many people left fighting on the ground.

"Although I’d like to say let’s run away, sadly, we can’t do it."

The middle-aged man waved his halberd with self-mockery as Wei Dingwu clenched his Greatsword tightly, looking at the continuously appearing enemies with a resolute gaze. Mo Li glanced at the White Wolf Deity and saw that it still had that lazy look. Feng Yuan, after releasing his spiritual power, said with some surprise,

"It seems that things aren’t as bad as they could be."

"How so?"

"It looks like we have become their primary target, like the Nanyu military forces previously on the ground."

"You mean..."

Wei Dingwu looked at Feng Yuan excitedly. Feng Yuan, scratching his head with some confusion, said,

"It seems that the army hasn’t completely collapsed, just divided into small squads, although the casualties are not few."

"But it’s strange, why are they focusing on attacking us?"

Liu Wenli gave Feng Yuan a side glance and said,

"Do you even have to ask? You were so flashy up in the sky earlier, and now that you’re down here, wouldn’t they want to take care of you first? You should know that their aerial force was decimated by Lorraine Tower, and it’s almost gone now. If you were to go up there and do that again, Nanyu City would be nearly impossible to take down."

"So that’s how it is..."

"Alright!"

Hearing Liu Wenli’s analysis, Wei Dingwu roared, psyching himself up, and with his Greatsword, he charged at the enemies once more. The middle-aged man said helplessly,

"Ah, seriously, too quick to get hot-blooded."

After speaking, the middle-aged man, along with the White Ape, stopped an enemy. Guo Huai patted Feng Yuan on the shoulder and said,

"I didn’t expect your haphazard actions to actually bring an unexpected surprise."

"Hey! What do you mean by that?!"

Feng Yuan shouted back at Guo Huai, dissatisfied, while the others naturally understood why Wei Dingwu was so excited.
