98: Chapter 98 The City Lord Slays the Raven

No sooner said than done.

All this analysis occurred in the mere moment City Lord Jiang Tianzong raised his head to glance at Qin Ce's direction.

The next moment.

The City Lord seized this rare opportunity, turning directly to face the direction of the Raven King.

With a flash of thought, he issued a command to the Jade-Horned Flying Tiger directly through the Soul Talisman contract!

"Flying Tiger, condense the Jade Condensation Light, target the Raven King! Once I cleave through the Ink Feather Mist, slay it for me!"

As the command was issued, the long blade in the City Lord's hand, condensed from Bright Moon Level energy, slowly rose.

Brilliant light began to gather on the blade.

It grew brighter and more intense.

His gaze was fixed firmly on the end of that ray of light.

Staring deep into that thick mist, at a certain locked-on position.

"Flying Tiger!" Jiang Tianzong gave a low prompt.

The Jade-Horned Flying Tiger understood instantly!

The crystal-clear jade horn atop its head suddenly erupted with brilliant white light!

The light was thicker and more intense than ever before, like a small sun rising above its head!

Jade Condensation Light!

That was the Jade-Horned Flying Tiger's Innate Method, gathering all its energy into the jade horn to fire a destructive beam capable of piercing through everything!

Then, the City Lord moved.

While the Flying Tiger was condensing energy, he had already leapt high into the air!

The brilliant blade light in his hand flashed with a blinding, cold glint under the sunlight!

On the blade, Bright Moon Level energy was surging wildly, growing thicker and brighter, finally condensing into a massive blade light a hundred meters long!

That was a strike of the Bright Moon Level!

That was a strike capable of splitting mountains and breaking seas!

"Slay!"

The City Lord let out a fierce shout, and the long blade in his hand slashed down violently!

The hundred-meter blade light flew forward, slashing straight towards that patch of silver-gray thick mist!

Wherever the blade light passed, the air was torn apart, and space itself seemed to tremble!

The Ravens in its path didn't even have time to scream before they were blasted into blood mist by the terrifying pressure carried by the blade light!

Then—

The blade light slashed into the silver-gray thick mist!

"Caw—!!!"

A terrified screech from the Raven King came from within the mist!

It felt it!

This was a terrifying power that made its soul tremble!

It desperately urged the Ink Feather Mist, trying to block this strike just as it had blocked the golden tower's attack before!

But it was useless.

Completely useless.

That blade light was simply incomparable to a Gold Rank attack.

Nor could it be withstood by Gold Rank defenses!

That was Bright Moon Level.

It was an existence a level higher than Starlight.

It was an attack on this battlefield capable of slaying everything.

As the blade light slashed into the mist, wherever it passed, the silver-gray thick mist vanished instantly, like snow meeting the scorching sun!

No, not vanished, but slashed open!

The special thick mist stretching for hundreds of meters was forcibly split in two by this strike!

The silver-gray thick mist was torn open as if by an invisible giant hand, with a massive fissure splitting it down the middle!

The fissure grew wider and deeper, extending all the way to the deepest part of the mist!

Then—

The Raven King's figure was exposed to everyone's view.

It was hiding at the very core of the mist, trembling all over, its eyes filled with terror.

The Silver Rank and Gold Rank guards around it were frozen in place, not knowing whether to attack or flee.

Across the entire battlefield, countless gazes were drawn to this strike.

On the Outer City walls, the Beast Tamers who were fighting bitterly looked up in a daze at the golden blade light that had sliced through the sky.

In the main city defense zone, the warriors fighting against the ferocious beasts stopped their actions, staring blankly in that direction.

Throughout the Inner City, the Star-Glow Rank Beast Tamers and ferocious beasts that were locked in combat all stopped in unison, looking towards the blade light.

Even the ferocious beasts that were attacking wildly instinctively stopped their roars.

The entire battlefield seemed to freeze in that instant.

Only that golden blade light continued to shine in the sky.

Only the Raven King, exposed under the blade light, was still trembling.

The next second—

Hum!

The Jade-Horned Flying Tiger's attack was triggered!

A beam of white light, condensed to the extreme, shot out from the jade horn atop its head!

The speed of the beam was too fast for the naked eye to capture, and wherever it passed, the air was scorched, leaving a burnt smell!

The target was aimed straight at the Raven King's heart!

If this strike hit, the Raven King would undoubtedly die!

Everyone in the city held their breath.

The entire city's gaze was drawn to this strike.

The Beast Tamers fighting bitterly, the civilians struggling in despair, and the children shivering in safe houses were all watching through surveillance videos.

Everyone looked up at this moment, watching that brilliant light piercing through the night sky.

Some had tears in their eyes.

Some clenched their fists.

Some prayed in low voices.

"Kill it!"

"Kill that beast!"

"Long live the City Lord!"

Earth-shattering cheers erupted from every corner of the city.

Because they knew that once the Raven King died, the Raven Flock would be leaderless, the Power Hub could be saved, the city defense system could continue to operate, and Fengling City—could be held!

The Raven King's blood-red eyes reflected the light drawing ever closer.

It flapped its wings desperately, trying to dodge with all its might.

But it couldn't dodge.

That was a Bright Moon Level attack; the speed was too fast.

Too fast for its nerves to react.

It could only watch helplessly as the light drew closer and closer—

Then, at the very moment the light was about to hit its heart.

"Roar!!!"

An earth-shattering bear roar came from the direction of the Inner City's West Gate!

In that roar, there was monstrous anger, frantic killing intent, and—

A full-force strike from the Lava Bear!

A beam of lava-like scorching energy, like a roaring fire dragon, shot over from that direction!

It came too fast, so fast that even the Jade-Horned Flying Tiger couldn't react.

"Bang—!"

The lava energy slammed violently into the Jade-Horned Flying Tiger!

The Jade-Horned Flying Tiger's massive body tilted sharply, and the jade horn atop its head—the one currently firing the Jade Condensation Light—also shifted by a meter!

But it was precisely that one meter.

The Jade Condensation Light that was originally aimed straight at the Raven King's heart missed.

"Pfft!"

A dull sound.

The Jade Condensation Light pierced into the Raven King's left chest and abdomen, exiting from its back!

Blood gushed out!

The Raven King let out a scream of extreme agony, half its body instantly dyed red with blood.

The white beam still pierced through the Raven King's body.

But it did not pierce the heart.

It was the left lung.

A lung lobe was completely pierced through!

Blood surged from the wound like a fountain, scattering a rain of blood in the air!

"Caw—!!!"

The Raven King let out a screech of extreme agony, its massive body trembling violently in the air!

But it didn't die!

It was still alive!

Although it was severely injured!

It was still alive!

However, although the white Jade Condensation Light beam did not hit the heart, a Bright Moon Level attack, even if just a graze, was enough to bring any Gold Rank ferocious beast to the brink of death!

Thus, the Raven King's body was falling wildly!

But it flapped its wings desperately, forcibly stopping its fall, and fled crookedly towards the high sky!

The Raven guards behind it surged forward frantically, using their bodies to block for it, covering its retreat!
