"Ding ding ding …" The scales that shot over like a torrential storm of needles flickered with a dim light. It was obvious that there was poison on them as they surrounded Xiao Chen from all directions.
Xiao Chen's expression did not change in the face of Xie Li's sudden attack. The dark blood spear in his hand flew up and down. The dense spear shadows crisscrossed with each other, weaving into an impenetrable large net that continuously knocked away the flowing light formed by the flying scales.
"I have really underestimated you. However, this is just an appetizer. This clan head does not rely on these small tricks to move unhindered in the world."
Seeing that his tried and tested move had no effect under Xiao Chen's impenetrable defense, Xie Li felt a little embarrassed as he spoke to defend himself.
The spear in Xiao Chen's hand turned into a long black dragon. The tip of the spear continuously struck the warblade that Xiong Li waved. Every time, it would accurately hit the weak point of the warblade, causing Xiong Li's attack to die prematurely. As he gained the upper hand, he did not spare Xiong Li's words. He opened his mouth to mock Xiong Li, "As expected of a group of underground worms that cannot see the light of day. You only know some sneaky moves. Xiong Li, looks like the helper you found is not that great."
"Bastard, little bastard, you should take care of yourself first!"
Xiong Li was extremely furious at Xiao Chen's mockery. However, his body did not stop. In an instant, he had arrived in front of Xiao Chen. His warblade was filled with Battle Qi, bringing with it waves of sharp wind as it fiercely chopped down at Xiao Chen.
Facing Xiong Li's sudden attack, Xiao Chen's body flashed to the side. He twisted the dark blood spear in his hand. A green flowing light lingered on the edge of the spear, actually forming circles of high-speed rotating cyclones that pierced towards Xiong Li with endless sharpness.
Boom!
Two gusts of wind collided between the two. A huge amount of energy swept up waves of violent wind that spread in all directions.
The huge impact caused Xiao Chen's body to tremble. He stabilized his body in an instant. On the other hand, Xiong Li continuously retreated over ten steps before stabilizing his body.
"How could this be, how could you … Impossible!"
When Xiong Li saw that his ultimate attack had been easily blocked by Xiao Chen, he repeatedly exclaimed that it was impossible. Xiao Chen's battle strength could be said to have completely shocked him.
He couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't imagine how monstrous Xiao Chen was. In just half a month, Xiao Chen's strength had once again improved by leaps and bounds. Xiao Chen's strength was already on par with his when he first stepped into the Blood Refining Realm. Now that Xiao Chen's strength had improved by leaps and bounds, the result was even more unpredictable.
Xiong Li once again gripped his blade and relaxed his numb palm. The seriousness in his eyes gradually deepened. This exchange allowed him to have a deep understanding of Xiao Chen's strength. Xiao Chen was at the peak of the Initial Blood Refining Realm and had already completely opened three meridians like him.
He originally thought that he had overestimated Xiao Chen's strength, but in the end, he had underestimated him once again. This result made Xiong Li's heart clench fiercely. He became even more furious and his eyes were bloodshot. "This little bastard can't be left alive. In just half a month, he has already improved so much. It looks like I am no longer his opponent. Who knows how much more he will improve in the future."
Thinking of this, Xiong Li hurriedly said to Xie Li beside him, "Tribe Leader Xie, this little bastard is a little strange. Let's work together and kill him as soon as possible to prevent any accidents."
At this moment, Xie Li could also feel how extraordinary Xiao Chen was. He had already put away his original thoughts of underestimating Xiao Chen. He agreed to Xiong Li's suggestion without even thinking. This thought flashed through his mind, and he did not hesitate any longer. His figure flashed and he shot towards Xiao Chen.
Around the three of them, the surging energy once again exploded.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Below the three of them, the Gu Yuan Tribe's guardian soldiers continuously shot arrows. However, there were just too many of them. Even under the protection of the giant crossbows, there were still thousands of enemies who broke through the rain of arrows and pounced towards the city wall. The city wall that was originally made of cyan boulders was in imminent danger. Under the combined attack of everyone, it began to shake.
Boom!
Finally, a section of the city wall could not withstand the heavy attacks and was torn open by the allied forces of the three tribes. Perhaps they saw the hope of breaking through the city wall. The scattered enemies were like sharks that smelled the scent of blood and swarmed towards the broken city wall.
"Follow me. We must not let the enemies enter the city. There are still our old, weak, women, and children in the city."
Tie Wen and the others who were originally trying their best to block the enemy's attack on the city wall strode out and rushed towards the opening of the city wall.
Kill!
Shi Yong even raised his spear to meet a ferocious-looking centurion of the Scorpion Tribe. At such a close distance, a fishy smell came to his face. However, this did not affect his performance. After the medicinal bath provided by Xiao Chen, Shi Yong's strength had improved rapidly. Coupled with his talent and inborn strength, after the medicinal bath, his strength had already reached the Bone Tempering Perfection Realm. With a blow that was close to his full strength, the centurion of the Scorpion Tribe in front of him was sent flying backward while blood spurted out. The centurion crashed into several people behind him and fell to the ground.
It was unknown whether he was dead or alive. Taking advantage of the centurion's strength, Shi Yong retracted his spear and once again faced another person. His actions greatly reduced the momentum of the enemy's attack and bought time for the guardian soldiers behind him.
"Shi Yong, we're coming."
Hundreds of strong men wrapped in animal skins, holding sabers and iron spears, joined the battle under the leadership of Tie Wen and Huang Liang. The hundreds of soldiers were full of vigor. After a long battle, everyone's eyes were bloodshot and their faces became ferocious. Their sabers were sharp and their spears pierced through the air. After a bloody battle, they finally blocked the enemy outside the city wall.
While the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe worked together to resist the invasion of the foreign tribes, the gathering area of the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled in the center of the tribe ushered in a great crisis.
At the moment when countless people were fighting in front of them, a team of hundreds of scorpion soldiers quietly descended into the tribe through a hole dug in the ground.
The tribe soldiers, who were originally the reserve team of the tribe, also came to the front because of the tense battle on the city wall. Even the tribe's great elder took the lead and fought on the front line. At this moment, thousands of old and young people were facing a situation where no one was protecting them.
"I thought I would die in bed for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect these beasts to sneak into my Gu Yuan Tribe. Old brothers, are you old?
How dare you fight the foreign tribes with me again! "
At this critical moment, those disabled old soldiers stood out at the first moment. The one leading them was the same old soldier who had lost an arm and came out to salute Xiao Chen when Xiao Chen was punishing the traitor.
These old soldiers' bodies were no longer complete, but when faced with the ferocious scorpion men, they did not retreat even though their vigor had weakened and they had less than 10% of their strength. Instead, they bravely stood in front of the women and children.
Even if they were old, disabled, and exhausted, they could not change the mission of a warrior. They were born as warriors and died as battle souls. They fought against the enemy outside the tribe and protected their tribesmen from danger.
These old soldiers supported each other and straightened their backs. Facing the ferocious foreign tribes, they were not afraid. They used their flesh and blood to block the advance of the scorpion men, building a great wall of iron and blood.
"Not bad, Old Wu. I can die without regrets if I can fight the foreign tribes with you again."
"Those old brothers have been gone for too long. I miss them."
"Old brothers, we are already old and disabled. These children still have many years to live. I, Gu Yuan, still need them in the future. We must hold back those monsters with long tails."
"Kill!
Even if we are old and disabled, we can still kill the foreign tribes. Guardian Tribe!
Even if we die, we will die on the way! "
After decades of fighting, they had already disregarded life and death. There was only one thought in their minds: the tribe's legacy was more important than anything else!
"Haha, a bunch of disabled old men. They are not afraid of death and dare to stop us. They are like mantises trying to stop a chariot."
Seeing the old and disabled soldiers fearlessly blocking in front of them and trying to hold them back, the scorpion men couldn't help but laugh.
It was easy to imagine that this battle was a one-sided massacre. Every inch of land was filled with blood. These exhausted and disabled old soldiers were using their flesh and blood to stop the advance of the scorpion men.
The old soldiers formed groups of three and five. They didn't have arms, so they used their teeth to bite. If they were disabled, they used their hands to hold them. Even if they died, they wouldn't let the enemy take a single step forward.
Seeing his subordinates being frightened by the aura of these fearless old soldiers, the leader of the scorpion men was furious. "Trash, why aren't you killing them? If you mess things up, I'll skin you alive!"
Being frightened by a group of disabled old soldiers, the scorpion men soldiers also felt a little humiliated. Their eyes gradually became bloodthirsty, and their attacks became more brutal. The old soldiers, who had only relied on their beliefs, were gradually defeated. They died in battle one after another. Not long after, they were almost wiped out.
The leader of the scorpionmen tribe's centurion swung his saber and cut off the arm that was grabbing onto his legs. Even though that arm had already left its owner, it was still grabbing onto his legs tightly and swaying with him as he walked.
"Humph!
A group of old men who don't die yet. You overestimate yourselves. That is … "
Just when the scorpion men soldiers killed all the old soldiers and were about to besiege the old, weak, women, and children …
The leader of the scorpion men, as well as the commanders around him, suddenly stopped. Blood blossomed from between their eyebrows. Before they could open their mouths, they fell to the ground with no signs of life.
At this critical moment, reinforcements arrived!
