215. The Battle of the Rift
215. The Battle of the Rift
Tianbei City is the largest city in this region that Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor discovered during their search.
If you want to find out about Venerable Feng, Tianbei City is the best choice.
After deciding on their destination, the two sped off towards Tianbei City. Although Little Fairy Doctor could use spatial powers to travel directly outside the city, Xiao Yan still wanted to search for Zi Yan and Huo Zhi along the way, so he didn't go directly outside Tianbei City.
The two were incredibly fast, but just as Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor arrived at a canyon on the only road to Tianbei City, Little Fairy Doctor stopped first.
"There's quite a bit of energy inside," Little Fairy Doctor said, looking at the canyon before her.
A rather precipitous mountain rose abruptly from the ground, and in its center was a fissure, as if it had been cleaved open, about ten zhang wide, resembling a canyon. Xiao Yan's powerful soul force naturally detected the aura within the canyon as well.
"It seems like a battle is about to begin, it appears to be between humans and magical beasts." Conflict is always the main theme on the continent, and even the Central Plains is no exception.
"Let's go take a look," Little Fairy Doctor suggested.
Xiao Yan knew that although Little Fairy Doctor had hidden her emotions on the surface, the fact that she had slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people was still putting her under tremendous pressure. If she could save more people, she could better relieve the pressure in her heart.
So, since it was the first time that Little Fairy Doctor, who had been following him all along, had taken the initiative to say she wanted to go and see, Xiao Yan naturally had no chance to refuse. He nodded slightly, and together with Little Fairy Doctor, they soared into the canyon.
Upon entering the canyon, one can see numerous enormous serpentine monsters moving swiftly towards the depths of the canyon.
"It's so lively!" Xiao Yan couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the scene below.
Inside the canyon at this moment, there was a human convoy. The convoy had a considerable number of people, and they seemed to be quite formidable in their confrontation, suggesting they belonged to the same faction.
Instead, they faced an astonishing number of enormous serpentine monsters. These serpentine monsters had cold, sinister eyes and flicked their tongues, seemingly already considering the caravan theirs for the taking.
Although the human caravan was extremely cautious and clustered into a small circle, their strength was still somewhat lacking. Most of them were at the Dou Ling or Da Dou Shi level, with a few particularly powerful individuals at the peak of the Dou Ling realm. While the caravan itself was strong, the snake swarm was far superior.
Many people in the convoy are already injured, and the snakes are constantly sending reinforcements. Defeat is only a matter of time.
And in the sky, there were two figures.
The powerful figure was quite bizarre, with a human body and limbs covered in dense, dark green scales, while its head was topped with a ferocious snake's head with tiny eyes. This half-human, half-snake monster had already reached the level of a six-star Dou Huang.
The other figure was a human woman. She was tall and slender with snow-white skin. Although she looked to be around the same age as Xiao Yan, she had a curvaceous figure. Her face held an aloof expression that warned others to stay away.
The young woman was only a three-star Dou Wang, struggling to hold her own against the half-snake monster with a longsword, only able to parry and utterly powerless to retaliate. Furthermore, Xiao Yan realized that the half-snake monster was merely toying with the woman, and therefore every move was aimed at her clothing.
Although the beautiful woman was struggling to hold on, many of her clothes were already torn, and some of her private parts were inevitably revealed.
"Little wench, kneel down and beg for mercy right now, and I, Xia Mang, might let your convoy leave if I'm in a good mood."
However, the beautiful woman merely snorted coldly and seized the opportunity to slash at Xia Mang with her sharp sword without any mercy.
The longsword struck Xia Mang, but failed to even pierce his scales. Instead, Xia Mang grabbed the sword and slapped the woman away.
Xia Mang's small eyes flashed green as he looked at the woman and said, "Little wench, become my slave!"
Just as Little Fairy Doctor began to gather her Dou Qi in preparation to save the person, Xiao Yan stopped her with a smile and said, "Don't rush, someone is coming."
The injured woman fell into the convoy, and the surrounding people immediately protected her in the center. Their eyes were filled with despair as they looked at Xia Mang, knowing that a Dou Huang expert was someone their convoy couldn't afford to offend. Originally, they had hoped to pay some money to get through, but Xia Mang had taken a liking to their young lady, leaving them with no choice but to fight.
Just as Xia Mang was enjoying the despair of the crowd, a fiery aura directly and domineeringly attacked him. The enormous axe shadow enveloped Xia Mang, and the battle qi attached to it made the half-zhang-long axe incredibly red. As the giant axe fell, a huge wave of fire, like an angry dragon, pierced through Xia Mang's heart.
The python's eyes flashed with ferocity, and its two large, scale-covered hands, glowing with a ghastly green light, tore at the newcomer.
This sudden axe blow was completely unexpected, and Xia Mang was sent flying, staggering back dozens of steps before regaining his footing. The attacker also retreated several steps in mid-air.
"Boy, who are you to dare mess with your Uncle Xia Mang?"
The newcomer slung the large axe over his shoulder and replied disdainfully to Xia Mang's question, "What kind of bullshit Xia Mang Grandpa is this? You disgusting thing that's neither human nor snake. Watch me chop your snake head off."
"This mere three-star Dou Huang brat is really arrogant."
The python's head also showed dissatisfaction, and green fighting energy began to condense on its head. In particular, green, bubbling liquid dripped from its fangs from time to time. These drops of liquid were enough to directly corrode and pierce through the rocks below.
"You brat, die!"
The python charged at the human wielding the large axe, its mouth agape, intending to tear the man's body apart with its terrifying fangs.
What Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor did not expect was that the human with only the strength of a three-star Dou Huang did not immediately fall.
Just as Xia Mang's attack was about to reach him, he always dodged it with a strange gait. Xiao Yan watched this man, dodging left and right, yet Xia Mang managed to avoid his attacks completely. Instead, he repeatedly struck Xia Mang's body with his axe.
Although Xia Mang was a magical beast with physical strength far superior to that of humans, it was being constantly drained, with many of its scales broken and blood continuously seeping out.
