The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 110: Attacking the City

Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Attacking the City

"You may not be aware, but this area is plagued by a greater number of demonic beasts. Many strong individuals within the Nanzhuo Dynasty keep these creatures as pets, and since demonic beasts often escape and wreak havoc on the surrounding kingdoms, the Canglan Kingdom is hesitant to carry out a large-scale purge for fear of mistakenly killing one and offending a powerful person from the Nanzhuo Dynasty. As a result, this area rarely sees any comprehensive extermination of demonic beasts, and many cities are even forced to relocate." Jia Xun explained, enlightening everyone and simultaneously arousing a bit of sympathy for the Canglan Kingdom.

Despite the sympathy, the team had to move on.

Soon, they reached the city gates. After the captain of the imperial guard declared their identities, the soldier guarding the gate asked with a strange expression, "Is Little Overlord Qin Jun in the carriage?"

Little Overlord?

The imperial guards and Ye Xuan’s group of five were stunned, but upon reflection, they had to admit that the title was indeed apt for Qin Jun.

Qin Jun, sitting inside the carriage, twitched his mouth, "How did I become a ’learning machine’?"

"What’s a ’learning machine’?" Li asked curiously, with Daji also directing her gaze toward him.

"Uh... You wouldn’t understand, it’s a kind of magical artifact that only exists in legends!" Qin Jun mysteriously claimed, yet inwardly he was laughing to himself.

A legendary magical artifact!

Both women trembled, their faces filled with longing.

Just then, the ground started to tremble slightly, causing the carriage to shake as well. Daji and Li both looked alarmed, and Daji shouted, "Not good! A massive beast tide is approaching us!"

"Beast tide?"

Qin Jun was momentarily stunned, his mind involuntarily flashing back to the scene where the Roaring Sky Dog was sent off by a beast tide. Even now, the memory made his heart race.

However, with the presence of powerhouses like Evening Star, there should be no fear of a beast tide.

"This beast tide is led by a Demon King!" Daji said with a grave face, causing Qin Jun’s expression to change drastically.

A Demon King!

At the very least, it must have breached the Transforming Void Realm!

At the same time, the others also noticed the abnormality. The soldier conversing with the captain of the imperial guard hurriedly yelled, "Quick, get inside the city! Close the gates! The beast tide is coming again!"

The name ’beast tide’ struck terror into the hearts of people in any kingdom. The captain of the imperial guard quickly ushered the imperial guards inside, and once the team was entirely within the city, the soldiers swiftly shut the gates.

At that moment, a black line appeared on the horizon: the beast tide.

Countless demonic beasts charged forward, most being first and second level, but upon closer inspection, one could see the silhouettes of third-level demonic beasts as well. There was a demonic python thick as a water tank and a demonic bear as massive as a small hill—various ferocious and fierce beasts, each one seemingly intent on leveling the city.

The soldiers on the city wall broke out in a cold sweat at the sight, with some even trembling uncontrollably.

The beast tide seemed like an ocean sweeping towards them, sending chills down anyone’s spine at the sight.

After entering the city, Qin Jun stepped out of the carriage, followed closely by Li and Daji.

The terrifying roars of the beasts outside the city struck fear into every citizen and cultivator inside, as well as Qin Yun, Ye Xuan, and the others.

"May I go up on the city wall to have a look?" Qin Jun asked a nearby officer.

The officer instinctively wanted to refuse but considering that Qin Jun was the rising star, the Little Overlord, who might be able to help them, he nodded in agreement.

Evening Star, Fa Hai, Daji, Li, Roaring Sky Dog, the King of Blood Sabers followed behind him, while the Cangjun Wolf, as it had done before, chose to go around the city, knowing that if it entered, it would surely cause panic.

"We should follow them up!"

Jia Xun spoke to the terrified Qin Yun, who instinctively wanted to refuse. But then he thought of Qin Jun’s numerous subordinates and suddenly mustered the courage to follow Jia Xun’s footsteps.

Zhu Yanqing didn’t say a word; she directly followed Jia Xun towards the nearby staircase. Seeing this, Ye Xuan and the other three had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow.

Arriving at the city wall, the soldiers ignored them and instead stared in horror at the beast tide approaching in the distance. The beast tide was less than two thousand meters from the city wall, and the trees on either side were toppled by the monsters, dust billowing, resembling a deluge sweeping over the land.

This scene caused Qin Yun, Jia Xun, Ye Xuan, and the others who had just arrived to tremble with fear; they had never seen a beast tide of this magnitude.

"Why is there such a large-scale beast tide..." a soldier beside them muttered in despair.

Qin Jun couldn’t help but frown and ask, "Does a beast tide occur often in this area?"

He thought back to the skeletons they had encountered before, indicating the city had faced beast tides more than once.

The soldier answered with a woeful tone, "Yes, but as the time for the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition approaches, those Monster Kings from the Nanzhuo Dynasty always find opportunities to come out. It’s said that half a month ago, Yan City, dozens of miles away, was destroyed by a beast tide, and no one survived."

Upon hearing this, the faces of Qin Jun and the others drastically changed. Daji and Li were still okay, after all, they weren’t of the Human Clan, but it was different for Qin Jun and the others. How many people lived in a city?

Even if not a million, there would be hundreds of thousands, all dead at the claws of the monsters, giving them all a grave and sorrowful feeling, akin to the sadness one feels for the misfortunes of a kindred spirit.

"Monster Kings can easily gather a large number of monsters, and their attacks on human cities are perhaps motivated by revenge." Evening Star suddenly spoke, and everyone couldn’t help but look at him with confusion.

Evening Star then continued, "As Monster Kings, how many can be truly loyal? So, after being subdued by human warriors, they inevitably harbor feelings of hatred, given that most warriors use brutal methods to forcefully subdue monsters."

With this explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

Everyone couldn’t help but cast strange looks at Qin Jun, wondering by what means had he subdued the Roaring Sky Dog?

"Young Master, do you need me to take action?" Roaring Sky Dog sent a telepathic message to Qin Jun, for as a Monster King itself, it was confident in stopping the beast tide.

Qin Jun shook his head and replied, "Don’t rush, it’s not time for the city wall to break, and besides, we are not ’Little Red Scarves’!"

Little Red Scarves?

A hint of confusion flashed through Roaring Sky Dog’s eyes, but it didn’t inquire further, accustomed to the fresh vocabulary that occasionally popped out of Qin Jun’s mouth.

As a flesh and blood human being, Qin Jun naturally couldn’t stand the sight of the city’s population being slaughtered by the beast tide, but he also didn’t want to exert effort for the enemy’s city, preferring to let the soldiers defend the city and wait until the city walls broke to take action.

He only wanted to save the people, not the city itself.

Boom! A thunderous sound erupted!

Countless monsters slammed into the city wall, splattering blood on it, and everyone standing at the top of the wall felt the wall shake violently, as if it was about to collapse.

"Damn, have these monsters gone mad?"

Qin Jun looked at the monsters below that had already battered themselves bloody, and he couldn’t help but curse in astonishment, with the others watching in palpitations.

Roaring Sky Dog and Daji furrowed their brows. As members of the Demon Clan, they could tell that these monsters had been bewitched by some power, driving them to such crazed behavior.

"A bunch of beasts! Dare to block my way and seek death!"

Just then, a commanding and thunderous roar came from the horizon, as if a deity were bellowing, causing most people on the wall to experience ringing in their ears, the loudness was unimaginable.

Evening Star, Fa Hai, Roaring Sky Dog, Daji, and Li, the five super-powerful beings all had a change in expression.
