"Could it be that Xiaohai also fled after seeing Xiaolan’s death, just like that useless guy earlier?" The left snake head’s eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Good, very good, I’ll find him and drain him dry."
"Impossible."
The middle snake head, who was relatively calm, shook its head and said, "Xiaohai may be impulsive, but he wouldn’t flee from battle. I suspect, like Xiaolan, he must be dead."
"What!"
The other two snake heads were startled.
"Was he also killed by that human?"
The right snake head’s gaze turned towards Chen Fan.
It’s one thing that Xiaolan died at his hands.
But even Xiaohai was killed by him?
But if that’s the case, why didn’t the commander-level Fierce Beasts below say anything?
"I’m not sure, but I think it has something to do with that human."
The middle snake head spoke.
It didn’t care how many of the Fierce Beasts below died, even if they were commander-level.
But Xiaolan and Xiaohai were different.
First, they were not just any commander-level, they were Beast Kings! Secondly, the three of them shared a unique bond.
"What are you waiting for? Kill everyone in this city!" The left snake head roared, its gaze falling on the commander-level Fierce Beasts below. "What are you waiting for? Go now!"
Hearing this, they gritted their teeth and charged towards the Sword Qi region ahead.
An example had just been set before them. Hesitate for a moment, and their fate would be no better than that of the earlier Golden Giant Ape.
Though the Sword Qi ahead was dangerous, they were not ordinary commander-level Fierce Beasts. Moreover, charging together would alleviate the pressure on each other, and they might just survive.
Sure enough, as a dozen high-level and top-level commander-level Fierce Beasts charged, the pressure on the Sword Qi Field increased dramatically. The Sword Qi indeed caused them significant harm, but its consumption also increased by dozens, even hundreds of times.
"Damn it! The Fierce Beasts are starting to go all out!"
Seeing this, the people on the city wall were horrified.
The commander-level Fierce Beasts going all out was one thing.
But behind them was an even larger Fierce Beast than the previous ice-blue giant serpent, watching them intently.
If it joined in too...
As they feared, the right snake head of the three-headed serpent opened its mouth wide, and a fire pillar with a diameter of over ten meters roared towards the city wall.
The intense heat distorted the surrounding space.
Two or three commander-level Fierce Beasts in the fire pillar’s path couldn’t react in time and were pierced through, their massive bodies turning to black smoke in an instant.
The surrounding Fierce Beast commanders, seeing this scene, didn’t dare to complain. They could only use all their strength to charge towards the city wall.
As long as they got close to the city wall, they would be safe.
Not only safe, but they could also go on a killing spree, massacring all the little ones!
The fire pillar came raging like a hot knife through butter.
The two-to-three-meter-long Sword Qi couldn’t withstand a tenth of a second before melting away completely.
Seeing the fire pillar approaching less than 500 meters from the city wall,
the people on the wall felt the scorching heat, and sweat poured off their foreheads like rain.
Just then, a hundred-meter-long Sword Qi suddenly appeared in mid-air, meeting the fire pillar head-on.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion resounded,
as the Sword Qi collided with the fire pillar, producing a massive explosion.
The originally over-a-thousand-meter-long fire pillar instantly shortened by a third, and numerous flames scattered like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, burning countless mid to high-level Fierce Beasts to ashes.
The right snake head’s eyes showed a flicker of surprise.
It knew that human was not to be trifled with, so it used its full strength right away.
Yet, it was blocked so quickly.
"I’ll help you!"
The left snake head, seeing this, opened its mouth and sprayed a poison fog.
The poison fog, green in color, was not as large as the fire pillar from the right snake head, but it was extremely fast, like a Poison Arrow, and in an instant, it collided with the Sword Qi, producing a "hiss hiss hiss" sound.
White smoke rose from the Sword Qi, visibly shrinking in size.
The originally balanced situation turned one-sided again.
"This poison fog can even corrode True Essence."
Chen Fan’s eyes showed a trace of surprise.
"Heh heh."
The left snake head, seemingly seeing the surprise in Chen Fan’s eyes, let out a smug laugh.
"Don’t be careless."
The middle snake head spoke up, "That human hasn’t used his full strength yet."
The commander-level Fierce Beasts had mentioned that the human unleashed three Sword Qi strikes in an instant, which was how Xiaolan died.
Now, the human had only used one, seemingly testing their strength.
At this moment, two more Sword Qi appeared on the city wall, colliding with the fire pillar and Poison Arrow.
The smile on the left snake head’s face froze.
No matter how much strength it used next, the battlefront kept moving towards its direction.
"This human is strong."
The right snake head said, somewhat laboriously.
No wonder Xiaolan died at his hands.
If it were in place of her, it might not be his match either.
As for Xiaohai, he was likely doomed too.
"Don’t panic."
The middle snake head’s eyes flashed with a strange light.
The next moment, a powerful mental shock silently headed towards Chen Fan.
This was its usual combat tactic.
The other two heads would spit out poisonous arrows and fire pillars to distract the enemy, while it used a Spiritual Attack to catch the enemy off guard.
This tactic had never failed.
But in the next second, it felt its mental shock hit what seemed like an impossibly hard wall. With a "pfft", it spat out a mouthful of blood.
Due to this, the scale of the poisonous fire spat out by the other two heads also reduced significantly, allowing the three Sword Qi to advance a large distance.
"What’s wrong?"
The right snake head increased its firepower while nervously asking.
It had never encountered something like this before.
"Not good."
The middle snake head, looking much weakened, said feebly, "That human’s Spiritual Power is strong. Instead of breaking his consciousness, I suffered a backlash and probably won’t be able to use any Spiritual Attack methods for a while."
"What!"
The two side snake heads were internally shocked.
How could this be?
How could such a strong person exist in a mere human small city?
Could he be one of the three S-Class Awakened? Impossible, they could tell at a glance that he wasn’t any of them.
Could he be the newest powerhouse from Yan Country?
"What should we do now? Keep fighting?" The right snake head couldn’t help but ask.
The middle one suffering a mental backlash meant it was out of the fight, leaving only the two of them against the human.
But the two of them together were already at a slight disadvantage. If this dragged on, they’d surely lose.
Unless they engaged in close combat.
But close combat wasn’t their forte. Moreover, those hundred-meter-long Sword Qi strikes could seriously injure them even if they didn’t kill them outright.
"Retreat first."
The middle snake head said softly, "No wonder this small city hasn’t fallen yet. It’s guarded by this superhuman powerhouse. We probably can’t dislodge him on our own. We’ll go back and get reinforcements. I don’t believe he can withstand all of us Fierce Beasts."
"Alright."
The other two snake heads agreed without objection.
After all, they were Beast King-level Fierce Beasts. Retreating wasn’t fleeing, it was a strategic withdrawal.
