115: Chapter 115 Successful Rescue of the City

They had clearly locked onto their target.

They had clearly sealed off every possible escape route.

They had clearly been on the verge of killing that damned human.

But he...

How did he suddenly appear so high up?

How was this done?

It wasn't just the savage beasts who were dumbfounded.

The crowd below, still focused on Qin Ce, was also stunned.

"Te... Teleportation?"

Someone murmured.

"No, that was spatial energy?!"

"Impossible! That's clearly a wind-element Pet Beast, pure wind! How could it possibly wield spatial energy?"

"But if it wasn't spatial energy, how do you explain what just happened?"

"Besides, at the Bronze Rank, even if it had spatial energy in its bloodline, could it possibly have such exquisite energy application?"

"Forget the Bright Moon Level, even at the Transcendent Level, could one perform such an unbelievable skill?"

No one could answer.

Because no one had ever seen a skill like this.

Pure wind element, yet capable of an effect similar to spatial teleportation.

Bronze Rank, yet able to slip away effortlessly amidst the pincer attack of five Gold Rank assaults.

This youth.

What kind of monster is he?

Qin Ce's performance had already exceeded everyone's understanding.

But then, an even firmer new understanding formed.

That was, this youth was no ordinary creature destined to remain in a small pond.

He would one day transform into a dragon!

At this moment, Jiang Ruowei in the distance saw no one else in her eyes!

...

However, soon, some clear-minded individuals grasped the true crux of the present moment. They shifted their attention from that youth to the blood mist below.

Someone finally snapped back to reality, remembering a more important matter.

"Wait... never mind that skill for now..."

A Beast Tamer asked in a trembling voice, his voice shaking:

"Did I... just see that right?"

"The Raven King... is dead?"

These words were like a massive rock thrown into a calm lake.

Everyone jolted back to reality and looked towards that patch of sky.

There, where the Raven King had once been.

Now, only a diffuse mist of blood remained.

The blood mist drifted slowly in the night wind, vaguely revealing some shattered feathers and flesh, proof of the existence of that once-overbearing savage beast.

The Raven King.

Was dead.

Truly dead.

Killed by a Bronze Rank youth.

"De... dead..."

"The Raven King is dead!!!"

"It's dead!!!"

Deafening cheers erupted from every corner of the battlefield!

Those Beast Tamers who had been on the verge of despair now acted as if crazed, waving their weapons and letting out heart-rending roars.

The civilians hiding in the safe houses, though unable to see the battlefield, understood what had happened upon hearing the thunderous cheers. They hugged each other, weeping for joy.

The officers in the command center slumped into their chairs one by one, their expressions exceedingly complex—shock, relief, disbelief, and a trace of wild elation at having survived a catastrophe.

"The Raven King is dead..." the old staff officer murmured, "It's really dead..."

And high in the sky, those thousands of ravens—

They froze in place, as if they had lost their souls.

Their king was dead.

The king they had protected with their lives and followed with everything they had, was dead.

Right before their eyes, killed by a puny human.

They didn't know what to do.

Without their king's commands, they were just a scattered flock.

They circled aimlessly in the air, emitting mournful cries, and then began to flee in a frenzy.

Flap, flap.

Flap, flap.

Those ravens, who had been fearlessly and madly attacking the Power Hub, now scattered in all directions like headless flies.

Some flew towards the city outskirts.

Some climbed towards higher altitudes.

Some even turned on each other, fighting over escape routes.

The Raven Flock had collapsed.

And that Ink Feather Mist permeating the air, that black fog that had brought the entire city defense system to the brink of collapse, began to visibly thin at a rapid pace after losing its constant replenishment.

The pressure on the Power Hub abruptly lessened.

On the screen, the percentage that had gripped everyone's hearts finally stopped falling.

45%.

It held.

And then—

It began to rise.

...

However, Qin Ce's crisis was not yet over.

Below, the five Gold Rank savage beasts finally snapped out of their shock.

They raised their heads, looking at the increasingly high azure figure above them, their eyes filled with a crazed killing intent.

The Beast King had issued a kill order.

If they failed to complete it.

Coupled with their failure to protect the Raven King.

The combination of both meant they were doomed!

They had to wash away their mistake with that person's blood.

They frantically climbed upwards, wanting to catch up and tear that damned human to shreds.

But.

Although they were Gold Rank savage beasts.

Their speed began to slow as they flew upwards.

The higher they went, the thinner the air, the lower the temperature.

These Gold Rank beasts, accustomed to low-altitude combat, began to feel uncomfortable.

Their wings flapped with increasing difficulty.

Their breathing grew more and more ragged.

Their speed became slower and slower.

The flames on the Blazing Fire Bird's body began to dim.

The Shadow Raven's form began to grow sluggish.

The Golden-Winged Peng's proud speed was now greatly diminished.

They were not adapted to this altitude.

They actually couldn't catch up to Qin Ce.

Yet that azure figure continued to climb higher.

Ten thousand meters.

Fifteen thousand meters.

Twenty thousand meters.

That was the talent brought by the Cloud Emerald Bird bloodline.

An extremely high ceiling.

A height they could never hope to reach.

Moreover, the onset of night, the appearance of clouds, plus Qin Ce's occasional use of [Shadow Sight] after catching his breath.

Made it increasingly difficult for them to lock onto the Azure Luan's whereabouts.

The five Gold Rank beasts hovered at an altitude of about fifteen thousand meters, gazing up at the shrinking azure figure and letting out furious roars.

But they were powerless.

And just then.

"Roar—!!!"

Countless angry howls came from the battlefield below.

They were Star-Glow Rank savage beasts!

They had also seen this scene.

They had also seen the death of the Raven King.

They had also seen that fleeing azure figure.

They simultaneously let out furious roars, wanting to unleash their own venting long-range attacks at the azure shadow in the sky above!

One Star-Glow Rank energy was gathering!

Two!

Three!

Countless!

Any one of those attacks was enough to blast Qin Ce into dust!

However, just then—

"Hahaha—!!!"

A hearty, unrestrained laugh came from another direction.

They were the Star-Glow Rank Beast Tamers on the human side!

They looked at those enraged savage beasts and laughed with immense satisfaction.

"Earlier, it was you who desperately entangled us, preventing us from dealing with the Raven King!"

"Now—"

"It's our turn!"

Before the words faded, figures shot into the sky one after another!

Star-Glow Rank energies collided wildly in the air!

Those beasts that had just been gathering attacks were forcibly intercepted!

They roared in fury, desperately trying to break through the blockade to kill that damned human.

But this time, it was the humans' turn to entangle them.

It was the humans' turn to deny them the opportunity.

It was the humans' turn to protect the youth who had created a miracle.

Qin Ce glanced down at the chaotic battlefield below, then raised his head to look at the starry sky drawing nearer above.

He gently patted the Azure Luan's neck.

"Xiao Qing, keep flying."

The Azure Luan let out a clear, melodious cry, beat its wings, and carried its master towards the even higher sky.

Behind him, the Sky attacks and roars grew farther and farther away.

Ahead, lay the freedom of the starry expanse.

The Raven King was dead.

Fengling City was saved.

And he had created a miracle.
