The people watching here suddenly had their spirits lifted.
But immediately after, their eyes revealed shock as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.
They saw that the ten thousand sword qi in midair did not join the Sword Qi Field to bolster its forces.
Instead, they fused into a single giant sword, a hundred meters long, and with a huge roar, it flew towards the ice-blue serpent.
"Ten Thousand Swords Return to One?"
Elder Wang saw this and couldn’t help but exclaim.
"I didn’t expect that he had cultivated Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect to the highest realm and even comprehended Ten Thousand Swords Return to One. However, considering his talent, it’s not surprising that he could achieve this."
He thought to himself secretly.
The giant sword, a hundred meters long, came howling from the sky.
The Commander-level Fierce Beasts surrounding the ice-blue serpent all turned pale.
First, this giant sword qi had appeared too suddenly; they never expected that the human on the city wall had this trick up his sleeve.
Second, the speed of this sword qi was too fast. The distance of several kilometers was almost covered in an instant. Even though they sensed the danger, they were still a step too late and could only watch helplessly as the sword qi arrived.
At this critical moment, the ice-blue serpent gave up destroying the Sword Qi Field and turned its head to spew frost breath at the giant sword.
A thick layer of solid ice immediately formed on the sword’s edge, followed by the blade to the hilt, encapsulating the entire giant sword into a massive ice sculpture that crashed to the ground, smashing a large number of fierce beasts to death.
"What!"
The people on the city wall couldn’t believe that such a giant sword was easily neutralized by the Beast King.
"A Beast King-level Fierce Beast is really too strong?"
Even the War Soul Squad was dumbfounded.
They were not as optimistic as others.
After all, it was a Beast King-level Fierce Beast; it couldn’t be taken out with just one sword qi.
But it should still have been wounded at least.
Nobody expected the opponent to counter the attack effortlessly.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The Commander-level Fierce Beasts, realizing the danger was gone, began to roar in excitement once again.
It truly was their king!
If the previous attack had landed on them, they would surely have died.
But the Beast King easily blocked it.
Little did they know, the ice-blue serpent no longer held the pride it had before when looking at Chen Fan.
For it seemed to negate his attack effortlessly, but in truth, it was anything but easy.
The giant sword qi was two or three times larger than its own body. If it had hit, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
So it gave its all to freeze the sword qi in the shortest time possible.
It succeeded.
But the effort consumed more than twice its usual energy.
If it had to repeat this a couple more times, it couldn’t guarantee it would endure.
"This human must have also expended a lot. That attack must have been his limit. Hold on a bit longer."
It thought to itself.
With the city on the brink of being breached, retreating now would waste all their previous efforts, and its king would never let it go easily.
If only Old Hei were here at this moment.
It looked at the ground.
What happened down there? Why haven’t the burrowing beasts appeared yet?
It’s been some time since Old Hei tunneled underground.
How come there’s no word from him, as if he vanished?
If he were here, all this sword qi would’ve been destroyed by now.
"This Beast King-level Fierce Beast is quite unusual."
Chen Fan was a little surprised.
Under normal circumstances, dealing with an ordinary Beast King-level Fierce Beast, a single Ten Thousand Swords Return to One should kill it.
It would be more challenging against a High-level or Top-level Beast King.
But this ordinary Beast King managed to block it.
"In that case, let’s see if you can withstand this move."
Chen Fan’s pupils contracted slightly.
In the next moment, three hundred-meter-long sword qis appeared above him.
"What!"
Everyone present was stunned by the scene.
Just now, it was a single hundred-meter-long sword qi.
In the blink of an eye, there were three?
Chairman Li was incredibly powerful!
Not far away, Elder Wang was already numb.
"Perhaps this isn’t even his limit."
This thought crossed his mind.
He remembered that Chen Fan had just used Ten Thousand Swords Attack ten times in succession.
In comparison, using Ten Thousand Swords Return to One three times in a row is nothing.
The ice-blue serpent was utterly chilled at the sight.
One hundred-meter sword qi had already cost it a lot of energy.
If three came at once, even its Frost Breath couldn’t freeze all three at once.
Not to mention, it had already expended considerable energy.
Chen Fan didn’t give it much time to think.
The moment the three hundred-meter sword qis condensed, they charged towards the ice-blue serpent.
The loud booming sound was like three oversized intercontinental missiles.
Without thinking, the ice-blue serpent turned to flee, hoping its speed could outpace the sword qis.
But the three sword qis were faster by several degrees. Despite all its efforts, the gap between them not only failed to widen but was rapidly closing.
"King, save me! Save me!"
The ice-blue serpent felt doom looming over and let out a hysterical roar, trying to head towards the Three-headed Snake King’s direction.
The three massive sword qis finally caught up and, under everyone’s gaze, exploded against the ice-blue serpent, shattering it into pieces, rendering it dead beyond question.
"King..."
The ice-blue serpent uttered its last sound, its vision darkened, and it completely lost consciousness, its wide-open eyes conveying its resentment.
The Beast King-level Fierce Beast that had brought the people immense despair was dead, right in front of everyone’s eyes.
In the distance.
The Three-headed Snake King gazed in Anshan City’s direction with an unsettling feeling.
It was just a small city; even without its command, the city should be easily destroyed from within and without.
Not to mention, its two subordinates were there. Taking down a small human city shouldn’t take much time.
Yet so long had passed with no news.
"Should we go and check?"
One snake head asked.
"I don’t think it’s necessary," another snake head yawned, "We can just wait here. If you really can’t help it, go ahead."
The middle head stayed silent.
It was indeed considering going to check when it heard an echo from afar, the ice-blue serpent’s voice.
Instantly.
It was sure it wasn’t a hallucination.
In the next moment, it moved its body quickly toward the front.
Was that Xiaolan’s cry for help?
After covering dozens of miles, it witnessed an unbelievable scene.
On the ground ahead were scattered carcass fragments, and not far off laid a serpent’s head, the ice-blue serpent’s.
Its wide-open eyes reflected resentment and fear.
The Three-headed Snake King and all three of its heads were stunned.
"Wh-what is this?"
The right snake head stuttered.
Just a moment ago, it was by its side, and now it was dead, right before it.
"Humans, it’s those humans!"
The left snake head glared in the direction of Anshan City, filled with hatred.
"Those humans killed Xiaolan! Damn them! All humans must die!"
"Humans? How could this happen?"
The right snake head was still incredulous.
It looked ahead.
"Wasn’t Xiaolan with Xiaohai? Why is only Xiaolan here? Where’s Xiaohai? Could it be?"
It glanced at the dismembered body, realization dawning.
Could Xiaohai have also been killed by those humans?
