King of Creation-Chapter 1616 - 1601: Who Goes First

The words of the Marquis of Yellow Wind, Ming Tang, brought Chief Yong Kun, who was panicked and lost, back to his senses. Indeed, we have more people on our side!

No matter how strong Ye Zhen is, if each of us spits, we can drown him!

"This person dared to kill a Divine Master of the Heavenly Temple, truly a demon! As disciples of the Heavenly Temple, we must take him down to clear the demon aura!

Everyone, attack together. Such a demon is the best offering for the Dao Ancestor Divine Lord!"

With Chief Yong Kun’s angry roar, the Spirit Masters and Grand Spirit Masters who had been avoiding Ye Zhen quickly adjusted their positions. The panic was gone from their eyes, replaced with cold indifference.

At that same instant, under the command of the retreating Ming Tang, the black-cloaked samurai from all directions quickly formed a military formation.

Beside Ming Tang, a twenty-man elite squad holding Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows had already assembled in an instant, their surroundings shimmering brightly as terrifying Spiritual Power Waves began to pulsate from the Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows!

Seeing this, Ye Zhen smirked. Concentrated fire with Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows, indeed, this tactic was effective.

But the numbers here were far too few!

The smallest scale of Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbow concentrated fire Ye Zhen had previously coordinated involved at least a hundred people.

However, not only Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows, but the black-cloaked samurai to Ye Zhen’s left, right, and rear had already formed multiple military phalanxes in the shortest time, most holding Wind-Fire Crossbows.

A small portion was even equipped with a spear-launching mode Soul Artifact, exuding an unknown aura.

"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Quickly shoot!" Ming Tang roared, and upon seeing the Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows and Wind-Fire Crossbows covering Ye Zhen in a blanket of fire, his expression became increasingly ferocious.

"No matter how strong you are individually, two fists cannot rival four hands, you are still only one person!"

"Who said I am alone?" Ye Zhen said suddenly, with a somewhat peculiar expression.

This statement shocked Ming Tang immensely, causing him to rush into the air and glance in all directions, fearing that reinforcements had truly arrived to rescue Ye Zhen.

But at this moment, Shahe City was completely sealed by him. Forget reinforcements, not even a mosquito could fly in.

Just as Ming Tang felt relieved, his expression suddenly turned grim again.

Ye Zhen casually waved his hand, and in an instant, streams of light flew out, followed by a chilling, ear-splitting roar that echoed through the air.

A fierce beast with nine heads, resembling a massive mountain, plummeted to the ground. With a deafening roar, eight of its nine heads darted out, randomly devouring in all directions.

The smallest of those gaping mouths was likely about a hundred meters wide.

With each casual gulp, dozens of Spirit Masters were swallowed up, and in some cases, one or two hundred black-cloaked samurai vanished down the throats of the beast.

The sickening sounds of chewing emanated from the mouth of the Nine-Headed Beast, as bones and flesh cracked, martial artists screamed in agony, Spirit Light resounded, and blood splattered, making the scene unimaginably terrifying!

It was nothing short of a living hell!

Meanwhile, another head of the Nine-Headed Beast opened wide, facing the twenty Flame Spirit Burst Demon Arrows launched by the Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows.

With a gulp and an inhale, two hundred Flame Spirit Burst Demon Arrows launched by the twenty Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows were swallowed by the Nine-Headed Beast.

Through the saliva-dripping gaps in its teeth, one could vaguely see the Flame Spirit Burst Demon Arrows being swallowed into the beast’s belly, exploding instantly upon entry, yet vanishing without a trace.

And the Nine-Headed Beast showed no signs of discomfort whatsoever!

Unable to help it, a Nine-Headed Beast, being an Ancient Fierce Beast, excels at wielding the Five Elements Spiritual Power. While it might not fully utilize the power of the Five Elements Spiritual Power, it can effortlessly devour any non-innate Five Elements Spiritual Power not exceeding its maximum capacity.

Devouring these exploding Flame Spirit Burst Demon Arrows was incredibly easy for it.

In contrast, Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire, containing the power of thunderclaps, was not as easy for the Nine-Headed Beast to devour.

While the Nine-Headed Beast ravaged, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten released by Ye Zhen was busy reaping lives in another manner.

The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten transformed into a silvery-black line, darting around the battlefield like a trail of silver light.

Wherever the silver light passed, numerous Spirit Masters and black-cloaked samurai vanished without a trace, the blood and fragments of internal organs raining down from the silver light the only testament to their disappearance at the hands of this terrifying demon beast.

However, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten did not yet possess the Nine-Headed Beast’s excellent dental strength.

The Nine-Headed Beast, being an Ancient Fierce Beast, was at the Mid-stage of the Divine Communication Realm at present, making it invulnerable to even the full-force attack of a Mid Dark Palace Realm martial artist.

The kitten, however, was different. Though the Void-Breaking Black Tiger King Bloodline awakening in it belongs to the Ancient Fierce Beasts, it had only awakened slightly over twenty percent.

Therefore, while the kitten could digest martial artists from the Divine Communication Realm alive, attempting to swallow martial artists from the Dark Palace Realm alive would be inviting trouble.

The kitten, being smart, would not swallow Dark Palace Realm martial artists—only kill them!

How to kill them?

Speed!

The kitten was incredibly swift due to the Void-Breaking Black Tiger King Bloodline, able to move silently and undetectably amidst the battlefield chaos.

Before the Dark Palace Realm martial artists could react, the kitten’s claws, as sharp as a Mid-grade Town Artifact, slashed, tore, and smashed—heads shattered or soared into the air amid endless screams.

After all, the True Dragon Essence Blood of the Blue-scaled Dragon King and Five-clawed True Dragon grade wasn’t drunk in vain by the kitten!

The emergence of these two fierce beasts under Ye Zhen’s command threw the formations of tens of thousands of martial artists into disarray, though admittedly, only to a limited extent.

The fierce beasts could only eliminate a few hundred of them in that time.

The real killing blow came from Ling Qianbi who was released by Ye Zhen!

As the vast waves of the Divine Soul dissipated, the 1,500 black-cloaked samurai on Ye Zhen’s left who had formed a military array suddenly found their gaze becoming dreamy.

The next instant, the 1,500 black-cloaked samurai, arrayed and ready, abruptly turned their Wind-Fire Crossbows and released a volley!

Fifteen thousand Wind-Fire Crossbow bolts rained down in a blanket of destruction toward the 300 Heavenly Temple Spirit Masters just thrown into disarray by the kitten!

The Heavenly Temple Spirit Masters stood dazed as the overwhelming barrage of Wind-Fire Crossbow bolts descended upon them!

They could not comprehend why the black-cloaked samurai, presumably allies, had begun attacking them.

In the next moment, over half of the 600 Spirit Masters were reduced to charred remains under the brutal fusillade of the Wind-Fire Crossbows!

Ming Tang was dumbfounded!

Chief Yong Kun roared furiously at Ming Tang, "What are your men doing, why is the barrage directed at us?"

Ming Tang looked bewilderedly at the 1,500 black-cloaked samurai, and before he could respond in anger, he was horrified to discover that more and more of his Iron Guards, already in formation, were targeting the Heavenly Temple Spirit Masters he had invited!

The number he observed alone exceeded 3,000!

In this brief time, his 3,000 elite Iron Guards had already killed or injured over 700 Heavenly Temple Spirit Masters!

The 1,000+ Spirit Masters brought by Chief Yong Kun were nearly entirely annihilated!

Even the 100 Grand Spirit Masters brought along were more than half eliminated by the Nine-Headed Beast and the kitten.

Several of the most fiercely fighting Grand Spirit Masters seemed possessed, turning against their own comrades!

"This.... this.... this...." Ming Tang was at a loss. He had no idea how this situation had unfolded.

However, Chief Yong Kun, possessing greater awareness, hastily shouted, "There must be a master of Divine Soul arts at play here!

Quickly, find them at once!"

But as Chief Yong Kun’s voice rang out, Ye Zhen’s voice simultaneously echoed, "Alright then, those worthless minions you’ve brought shouldn’t disturb us any longer!

Which of you is going first?" With a cold laugh, Ye Zhen casually floated in the sky, advancing swiftly yet unhurriedly toward Chief Yong Kun and the Marquis of Yellow Wind, Ming Tang!
