Chapter 322: Break A City



Chapter 322: Break A City

It's so hot

Why is it so hot.

In his line of sight, the heavens and earth were covered with a layer of blood-like color. It was as if it was soaked in fresh blood, and it was as if it was burned by a karmic fire. What entered his chest was not air, but boiling flames. Gradually, some silhouettes appeared on the horizon. The low defensive wall, the high and low buildings, the towering towers It was a city.

Sur City!

This name suddenly flashed through his mind. It was like a bolt of lightning, splitting open the primal chaos of heaven and earth.

Sur City Sur City, I remember it. What do I have to remember about it?

Sue revenge? Yes, revenge! I want to destroy it, I want revenge. But, whose vengeance?

It hurts, it hurts. Sur City! Revenge! Destruction! !

In the open wilderness, a beast-like roar could be heard. The roar was filled with rage, and it was buzzing in the sky above the entire city. On the city wall, a soldier lay on the wall, stretched his head, pointed at the wasteland, and shouted, "There, there's something there!"

The night was miserable, and lead clouds blocked the moonlight, making the wilderness pitch black. However, one could vaguely see something moving in the darkness. That thing was even darker than the darkness!

The soldiers of the city guards ran up the wall with torches, but they still couldn't see anything. It was only when a flash of fire suddenly lit up in the darkness that it grew stronger and stronger, as if a ball of fire had risen out of thin air in the wilderness. With the help of the fire, the soldier finally saw it.

Even though there was only one outline, the tall body was still clearly visible from a distance. The most conservative estimate was that the creature under the night was at least six to seven meters tall!

It was a giant!

Unfortunately, there was no such thing as a tactical telescope in this world. Otherwise, the soldiers on the wall would be able to see it. After crossing a long distance, behind the flames was a ten-meter-tall body covered in black scales. The ball of flame came from its chest, and the giant's chest split open. Blazing flames shot out from its chest, as if there was a blazing sun hidden within its body.

Even though his face was covered in black scales, he could vaguely tell what Baku looked like. However, at this moment, Baku was in almost two different lifeforms from before. Right now, he was like a devil, a true devil! On the scaled head, the outline of Sur City was reflected in two copper bell-like yellow eyeballs. The scales on both ends of his temples gradually turned into spiral-striped horns, and a thick black mane flew behind his head like a black flame.

Biological armor resembling an exoskeleton developed on the shoulders, arms, and knees. Under the light of the flames, the biological armor flowed with a deathly gray sheen. A few bright red lines spread from Baku's chest to other corners of his body. Within these lines, dark red light flowed regularly, as if blood was running through his blood vessels.

Baku seemed to be enduring great pain. He let out a shrill howl as the light on his chest grew brighter and brighter. Finally, a blazing stream of fire shot out. The thick and boiling fire broke through the air, and the recoil caused Baku, who was like a giant, to take a few steps back. Due to the impact of the recoil force, the shot was shot straight and the angle was raised.

Thus, under the dark night, this bright stream of fire swung upwards. It swept past a section of Sur City's defensive wall and rushed into a row of bungalows in the city. As he walked up, he slanted past the left wing of the City Lord's Mansion and finally formed a continuous pillar of fire that stretched across the vast wilderness!

The place swept by the Hellfire melted into silence, regardless of whether it was humans or objects. Ethan leaned on the balcony fence with a pale face. The bright and blazing fire swept past him less than ten meters away, shattering the left wing of the City Lord's Mansion. The sound of the wing collapsing could be heard in his ears. Ethan's body trembled. As long as the flow of fire deviated a little further, he might be buried in the flames.

He stared out of the city at the source of the gradually disappearing pillar of fire. Ethan could vaguely see a figure filled with pressure. He couldn't help but moan, "What is that?"

"What's that?" Regis was standing on the rooftop, holding his sword in his arms as he said excitedly, "Whatever it is, something interesting has finally happened."

Alan's voice came from downstairs. "I don't find it interesting at all. Let's go. That thing is coming for Sur City. We can't let it destroy the city where we just found our foothold."

Behind Allen were the soldiers who had been reequipped with the Blazing Fighters, as well as William and the others. Alan had already directly held Qianjun in his hand and was about to leave. Caesar's voice sounded from behind. Caesar helped Father Miro down to the outside of the house and shouted, "That's Baku. There's no mistake. He must have used demonic blood. Alan, kill him. Baku has become a demon that only knows how to kill!"

Alan nodded solemnly.

"Go outside the city!"

After sending out that shockingly powerful blazing fire stream, Baku seemed to have consumed a large amount of Origin Energy. He was panting heavily, his chest was closing, and he spat out large clumps of hot smoke from his chest. When his chest was completely closed, he began to run. The giant's footsteps were enormous. It moved ten meters at a time and approached Sur City at a terrifying speed. Alarm bells rang in Sur City, and sharp whistles sounded in the streets of the city, reminding people to stay at home.

The city guards gathered together, and a group of gunmen quickly rushed to the defensive wall and entered their respective positions under the command of the officer. Two heavy crossbows were also put into use. The soldiers lifted the steel arrows the size of their forearms onto the city wall and loaded them into the launching components of the heavy crossbows.

The earth was shaking, and the faces of all the soldiers were pale. They had never encountered such an enemy before, and the fear in their hearts could not be described in words. If it weren't for the incentives of the officers, some of the soldiers would have already escaped.

When the giant was only a hundred meters away from the guard wall, the officer raised his saber and swung it down in the giant's direction, "Launch the heavy crossbow!"

The ballista had already anchored the giant. Baku's figure was simply too huge, so large that he could hardly even accurately aim at it. Upon hearing the commander's order, the ballista pressed down the trigger forcefully. Under the action of the gears and hinge cables, the rough steel arrow let out a muffled sound as it shot towards the giant like black lightning.

Baku was running wildly when he suddenly swung his shoulders heavily. The steel arrow was deeply nailed into his shoulder, knocking him down with a swing of his body. Seeing the giant being knocked down by the steel arrow, the soldiers on the wall exhaled. At the very least, this enemy was not undefeatable.

The steel arrow made a bloody hole in Baku's shoulder. He reached out to grab the end of the steel arrow and pulled it out forcefully, causing a rain of blood to spill out. However, after this rain of blood, the bloody hole on his shoulder began to heal. The shattered bones, muscles, and flesh within were regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the wound was completely closed, Baku stood up again.

"Continue firing!" The officer shouted.

The two crossbows took turns shooting, and the muffled sound of breaking through the air sounded again. Baku used the steel arrow in his hand as a weapon, picked up the second arrow and grabbed the other arrow. Baku didn't care even if his palm was scratched by the arrow to the point of splitting open his skin and splashing his flesh. He let out a low, suppressed roar from his throat. His body spun and two steel arrows were thrown out of his hands.

The officer's face turned pale and he screamed, "Hurry up and dodge."

Unfortunately, the crossbowman's reaction was still a step late. Two heavy crossbows were smashed into pieces by the arrows thrown back by Baku. The crossbowman even pierced the arrows through his chest and fell onto the wall with the steel arrows in his arms. Without the suppression of the heavy crossbow, Baku began to charge. The officer hysterically shouted, "Fire/Guns, attack!"

Fire started to light up in the darkness, but projectiles with limited power and insufficient firepower were simply unable to deal any real damage to Baku. Baku slammed into a defensive wall. The low defensive wall immediately left a gap for the giant. Many gunmen didn't have time to dodge. He was either crushed to death by the giant or smashed to death by falling stones.

"Shoot, don't stop!" Even though he knew that it was useless, the officer still gave the order because he didn't know what else to do besides attack.

As the firearms continued to fire at Baku, the infantry of the city guards joined the battle. However, the long swords in their hands and the armor on their bodies were so thin in front of this Abyss Devil, Baku. Baku shook his head and recovered from the short dizziness of the collision. He first stretched his arms out to the left and right and smashed the firemen on both sides of the wall away like flies.

Then, he picked up a two-meter-wide boulder and smashed it at the infantry below. The infantry shrieked and scattered left and right. The two unlucky soldiers didn't have time to escape, so they could only watch as the huge boulder fell and smashed them into meat pancakes.

For a time, no one in Baku was able to control it.

"It's over, it's over!" The officer sat on the wall and watched in despair as his men died in battle. He picked up the iron sword that had fallen to the side and laughed crazily. He placed his sword across his neck, and just as he was about to kiss himself to apologize, a rough gunshot rang out.

That was definitely not a loud sound that could be produced by a fire/spear. It was like the roar of a ferocious beast. In the next moment, lines of fire swept across Baku's body like long whips. The dense and powerful firepower caused the scales on Baku's body to splatter endlessly. The giant was lifting a large rock, but it was blasted backwards by the fierce volley. The rock also fell to the ground by mistake, instead smashing its own foot.

"Rather than have the courage to commit suicide, it's better to use this courage in battle."

A man's voice came from behind the officer. He turned around and Belmore smiled at him. He then turned to the outside of the city, his hands trembling as a pair of short knives with chains slid out of his sleeves. With a light howl, he bounced out of the defensive wall and landed on the ground like a giant bat, charging towards the giant. The officer leaned on the wall and saw that the city gate on the other side had opened at an unknown time, and someone was pouring out continuously.

One of them's hair was like frost, exceptionally conspicuous under the dark night. He seemed to feel something and turned to look at the officer. The officer immediately recognized that it was Alan, the young merchant who had generously provided the technology of the Crosses Textile Machine to Sur City!
