Terran Guardian

Chapter 130: Consumption.

With the monster attack, many of the Black Tiger Army troops died, causing some riots on the city walls.

But the monsters were soon killed Chu Ding and the others.

However, for this reason, many Barbarians took the opportunity to go up the city wall and fight with the Black Tiger Army.

When the Barbarians got up on the city wall, it meant that the strength of the Black Tiger Army's resistance had weakened.

As such, more and more Barbarians climbed up from the ladders, one after another.

"Defend the city wall and never let the Barbarians come up!"

"Everyone, kill with me!"

Chu Ding's face was cold and stern, as he held a spear in one hand.

One!

Two!

In less than a few breaths, more than a dozen Barbarians died in the hands of Chu Ding.

The other Cultivators also took action and killed the Barbarians to a great extent.

It took a quarter of an hour, before all of the Barbarians, who climbed the city walls, were cleaned up.

After finishing this, the Black Tiger Army regained the initiative on the city wall.

In the Barbarian army.

The Barbarian Shaman's Express looked ugly.

The few monsters he cultivated, although caused a lot of influence in the battlefield, did not allow the Barbarians to completely occupy the city wall. It even damaged their forces a little.

"It seems that I still need to do it myself!"

Merba shook his head, and no longer had the idea of relying on the Barbarian Shaman beside him.

Being able to control monsters was indeed unpredictable to a certain extent.

However, the monsters that they could control were not very strong and they wouldn't last long before they would get killed by the Black Tiger Army.

Clamping his legs, the giant beast that Merba rode on rushed forward and headed towards Jin City.

The giant beast was 10 feet tall. Every step it took, seemed to cause the ground to vibrate. Meanwhile, Merba sitting on its back was as steady as Mount Tai.

All of the Barbarians retreated in awe when they saw the giant beast approaching.

Along the way, it was met with a rain of arrows. However its skin was rough and the flesh was thick, so it was completely unafraid of the arrow rain.

Only when it came to critical points, such as the eyes, would it close its eyelids and block the arrows.

But the closer it got, the more powerful the arrow rain became.

Gradually, it became difficult for even the giant beast to move.

Rough skin and thick flesh did not mean that it was invulnerable to swords or spears. It could only be said that it was more resistant to them than ordinary creatures.

At this time, the giant beast was less than five feet away from the city wall.

Merba jumped into the air from the back of the giant beast and air waves erupted under his feet, as if he was stepping on air towards the city wall.

"Stop him!"

Chu Ding's face immediately changed.

If a Grandmaster attacked the city with all of his strength, there was absolutely no one on the city wall that could compete with him.

A large number of Black Tiger Army troops aimed at Merba, and shot away with their arrows.

The dense rain of arrows intertwined like a big net, shrouding the other side.

"You want to stop me with just a rain of arrows!?"

Merba smiled disdainfully. Armor Qi exploded out from his body and all of the arrows that came in his wake were all destroyed by the shock.

Immediately after, he struck out a palm, which sent a palm force.

Several Black Tiger Army troops were hit by the palm and their bodies exploded; with their flesh and blood being scattered on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Chu Ding's face further changed drastically.

Seeing that Merba was about to step into the city wall, Chu Ding immediately fetched a bow and arrow, pulling the bow until it was bent into a full moon. Due to the amount of force he was using, the wound on his arm reopened.

However, he didn't care about this. There was only Merba in his eyes.

"Here's a respectful exchange. Why don't you also experience this General's archery!?"

[Whoosh~]! 

Nine arrows shot out, forming a powerful array of arrows. The air-breaking momentum they carried caused Merba's face to change slightly.

It was powerful.

With Innate Astral Qi alone, he wouldn't be able to resist.

But he was not afraid.

Merba punched and his fist smashed the air, making the nine arrows vibrate violently. In the next breath, they were all crushed into powder by the powerful force.

Immediately after, a powerful Intent swept out of him.

At this moment, Chu Ding felt like he was struck by lightning, and suddenly had a splitting headache. His expression became hideous.

Grandmaster!

Spirit attack!

It was a power that was above True Qi and could directly act on the human soul.

Under such an attack, Chu Ding spat out a mouthful of blood, temporarily losing his strength to fight.

At this time, there was another cracking sound.

Several cart crossbows were aimed at Merba and fired at the same time.

The huge crossbow arrows broke through the air, the momentum it carried was unparalleled.

Seeing this, Merba's face was gloomy. It was not so easy to move in the air. He could only punch and knock down one crossbow arrow. At the same time, his Armor Qi, trying to block the other crossbow arrows.

[Boom]

The two sides collide.

Merba's Astral Qi shattered and the crossbow arrows struck Merba's body, causing him to fall from the air.

Looking at the fallen Merba, everyone's eyes were on him. 

Did he die?

The cart crossbow could even shoot down a Mighty Ape, its strength was terrifying. Even if Innate Realm Cultivators faced it head-on, they would end up with broken tendons.

Although Merba was strong, he may not be able to resist the cart crossbows attack.

However

Just as Merba landed on the ground, he turned over in the air and landed on the back of the giant beast.

The armor on his body was slightly shattered, but other than that, there were no extra scars nor wounds on him.

Seeing this, the people on the city wall gasped.

So strong!

The crossbow arrows only broke the enemy's armor a little, but there was no extra injury.

They couldn't compete with such strength.

Fortunately, the other party did not manage to climb the city wall. Otherwise, it would have been definitely be a nightmare for them.

"Damn it!"

On the back of the giant beast, Merba's face was gloomy and his chest was aching.

He was confident in climbing the city wall and making a way for the Barbarian army.

But he did not expect that even before he could climb up the city wall, he would be beaten down by the opponent.

If he was not a Grandmaster and had no True Qi blocking the attack, he would have died.

The pain in his chest not only made Merba angry, but also feel him some fear.

Although a Grandmaster was very strong, it did not mean that they could be careless.

In the battlefield, the number of fallen Grandmasters was not small.

It was just that there were not many Jin City defenders in front of him, hence Merba dared to rush up alone. If it was another city, where the defense was deep and strict, he would not dare to mess around.

At this time, after being beaten by the Black Tiger Army, Merba did not intend to rush again.

The arrow rain was annoying.

There was also the threat of the crossbows.

If he really insisted on making a move, he wouldl just make himself fall into trouble.

So Merba chose to retreat.

Compared with capturing Jin City at the fastest speed, he chose a more steady and secure method.

After all, although the Black Tiger Army was currently resisting fiercely, their numbers were fatally wounded.

They wouldn't be able to cope with the consumption.

Merba returned to his camp, but did not stop the Barbarians from attacking.

Seeing him retreat, the people on the city wall, although they regretted not being able to kill him, were also secretly relieved.

"Grandmaster!"

Tang Hong thought of the scene of the other party walking in the air just now. The horror in his eyes still had not completely dissipated.

If the other party was pushed up a little bit more, with the strength he showed, Tang Hong and the others would be 100% dead.

The horizon soon turned white.

However, the early morning air did not make people feel fresh, as there was a bloody stench that was so strong that it made people sick.

The night passed, but Barbarian's offensive did not stop.

Below Jin City, countless corpses have piled up. The blue city walls were now painted black and red from the blood.

The Black Tiger Army on the city wall had also rotated several batches by now, otherwise they would have been exhausted.

"Barbarians are really difficult to deal with!"

Chu Ding sighed secretly, after killing a Barbarian who climbed up with one shot.

The night of fighting also made him feel a little tired.

The Barbarians suffered a lot of casualties. The Black Tiger Army occupied the advantage of the city wall, so their casualties were relatively small, but compared with the huge number of the Barbarians, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Hoohoo!!"

Wen Ce was gasping for breath. From last night to now, he couldn't remember how many Barbarians he had killed. He also had a sackcloth wrapped around his body to stop the bleeding.

During the course of the battle, he was injured by an arrow.

"If the Barbarians don't stop, I'm afraid we won't be able to last long!"

"Whether we would be able to last or not, we have to push ourselves. We might lose a lot, but the loss of the Barbarians is just as great. Now that the city wasn't taken down in the night, the momentum of the Barbarians has declined a little, which should give us some breathing time."

Chu Ding's blood-stained face showed a calm look.

He could see that the siege momentum of the Barbarians was incomparable to the one they had at the beginning.

After a night of fighting, the other party's loss was equally serious.

Looking at the situation, the Black Tiger Army was still fighting hard, trying to kill every Barbarian that rushed to the city wall.

The Black Tiger Army also collected the arrows shot by the Barbarians on the city wall to supplement their consumption.

Another hour passed.

The Barbarian Shaman looked at the blood-stained Jin City with a calm expression.

"Lord Merba, with the overnight attack, everyone has been drained. I suggest taking a break for a while, and then start the attack after some rest."

"If we attack the city in the current state, even if we capture Jin City, we will lose a lot!"

Hearing this, Merba didn't answer. Rather, he looked at the Black Tiger Army above the city with cold eyes.

He didn't expect it for the Black Tiger Army to be so tenacious either.

Even after fighting all night, they had no sign of collapse.

If it was not clear that there were only 12,000 defenders in the city, Merba would have thought that there were tens of thousands of Black Tiger Army troops guarding the city.

As the Barbarian Shaman said, if they continued fighting, there was indeed a high probability that they could take down Jin City. It was just that the cost would be tremendous.

For a Jin City, it was obviously not worth the loss of a large number of Barbarians.

At once, Merba made a decision.

"Retreat!"

Woo!!

The horn sounded. The Barbarians left many corpses and retreated like a tide.

Seeing this scene, many people were overwhelmed and slumped on the city wall, panting heavily.
