Chapter 1758: The Reinforcements Arrived At Last
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There were only five or six mountain strongholds remaining in the Northern Army Corps. The defense line could be breached at any moment. However, large stretches of the abyssal creatures on the offensive suddenly stopped at the moment. It was as if the creatures were paralysed after being cursed with immobility spells.
A dash of golden color flashed once in the sky before vanishing completely. It looked just like lightning in a dark sky which illuminated the surrounding darkness for an instant.
“Poof!” The golden light landed not far away from the Darkness Bell, where the Northern Army Corps’ regimental commander Guo Zhenfeng was buried alive earlier.
The moment the golden light landed, a gush of powerful overbearingness burst forth accompanied by a deafening dragon’s roar. A flight of golden giant dragons let out raging roars as they moved out with threatening gestures. Every abyssal creature within a hundred meters was swept away instantly.
The astonishing part was that these abyssal creatures did not disperse into the air after turning into gray airflows this time, but merged with the dash of golden color akin to a river flowing into the sea.
The Darkness Bell turned around and ran without the slightest hesitation when she saw the golden color. She immediately turned into a cloud of darkness and fled into the distance. She vanished among the abyssal creatures soon after.
She felt fear coursing through her as she fled away. It was him. She could feel his presence. How did he manage to get here so quickly?
The golden-color light shadow which landed earlier turned brighter. It was a spear with a sparkling golden spearspirit. Dragon patterns could be vaguely seen on the surface of the spear. The aura emitted was ineffable.
Countless abyssal creatures were killed in the battle by the Northern Army Corps earlier. The resulting gray airflows from the abyssal creatures were being directed toward the spear. It took only a short while before the gray airflows formed a funnel-like vortex which surged into the golden spear at full speed.
A silhouette descended from the sky and landed next to Guo Zhenfeng who suffered multiple injuries on his body. The silhouette held onto the spear while he helped Guo Zhenfeng stand up.
All at once, a gush of golden luster fused into his body from the spear such that his entire person was embalmed with a layer of golden brilliance. A strong, dense life force rose naturally from his body which made him look like a God descending from the heavens.
Guo Zhenfeng panted loudly. He was completely exhausted at present.
He had spared no effort in attacking the abyssal creatures. He was, in turn, viciously attacked by the Darkness Bell and besieged by the innumerable abyssal creatures. His three-word battle armor was severely struck by the Darkness Bell so much so that there was a breach in it. Hence, he could not sustain his efforts anymore.
If assistance had come a moment later, the Northern Army Corps’ regimental commander would have died.
“You are…” Guo Zhenfeng shifted his gaze to look upon his savior.
He was young, strong, handsome, lofty as a hill, and steady as a mountain. With a spear in his hand, he appeared intimidating as he stood out amongst the thousands of abyssal creatures.
“I’m Tang Wulin from Shrek Academy. You’re the regimental commander Guo Zhenfeng, right? I’m sorry we’re late.” Tang Wulin’s heart was filled with admiration for Guo Zhenfeng as he looked at the man whose battle armor was already tattered. As a regimental commander, he sacrificed himself and fought until his last breath. He truly lived up to his reputation as a federal soldier.
Even though Tang Wulin had a tarnished impression of the military, he acknowledged that the Northern Army Corps had done their best.
They were suddenly attacked by the abyssal creatures from nowhere, yet they managed to organize the defense lines in a short time. They shouldered the burden of fighting these terrifying creatures which did not fear death nor needed to rest. Despite not having many powerhouses with them, they resisted the abyssal creatures such that not a single creature had charged into the depths of the continent. The situation at the north did not worsen as a result of their efforts. Nevertheless, the Northern Army Corps was in a chaotic mess now. It was their sacrifices which had bought them time to await the arrival of the reinforcements.
“Are the reinforcements here?” Guo Zhenfeng’s voice was weak but he sounded hopeful.
“Yes, the reinforcements are here. Don’t worry, Regimental Commander Guo. Leave the rest to us.” As Tang Wulin spoke, he wedged his hand under Guo Zhenfeng’s armpit to support him. In a flash, they were flying toward the Northern Army Corps’ garrison on the nearest mountain slope.
“Tang Sect Master, how many people came as reinforcements? There are too many of these terrifying creatures to be killed, and there’s no telling how many there are still,” asked a concerned Guo Zhenfeng.
“There are five of us who are here earlier than expected to provide urgent reinforcement. The follow-up reinforcements will arrive in about five hours to shore up the defense,” said Tang Wulin.
“What? There’s only five people?” The hope which arose in Guo Zhenfeng earlier was gone abruptly.
He could not help being emotional when he spoke, “Five people only? What’s the purpose of five people? Even if all the five are Title Douluos, it won’t be effective in stopping all these creatures! Do you know what the consequences will be if any of these abyssal creatures charge into the continent? Wherever these creatures go, all the living creatures will die. They are even more terrifying than locusts. The forests will turn into death zones. Even the snow will be polluted. We can’t let them inside the continent! It will result in unimaginable disasters.”
“Regimental commander Guo, don’t worry. Before the reinforcements get here, I’ll make sure they can’t even advance another step.” Tang Wulin understood Guo Zhenfeng’s feelings very well, because the Blood God Army had been quietly protecting the realm for so many years!
By the end of their conversation, he had already brought Guo Zhenfeng to the mountain peak. He pointed to the distance. “Regimental Commander Guo, look.”
Guo Zhenfeng followed his finger and looked toward the distance. A gentle, milky-white radiance descended from the sky and transformed into five gigantic light pillars which enshrouded the five Northern Army Corps’ defense positions including the mountain peak where they stood.
Everyone was basking in the milky-white radiance including Guo Zhenfeng.
They were tired beyond belief. They felt a gush of warm aura enshroud their bodies to wash the lethargy away into nothingness.
Meanwhile, the abyssal creatures which were on the offensive just now immediately melted away akin to snow on a hot surface upon contacting the boundary of the milky-white radiance.
Two other lofty silhouettes descended from the sky.
The silhouettes looked like giant apes as the enormity of their figures loomed larger than the mountain peak on which Tang Wulin and Guo Zhenfeng stood.
The lofty silhouettes over hundreds of meters in height landed on the ground. Terrifying airwaves rolled out and turned the large stretches of abyssal creatures in the surroundings into gray airflows.
One of the giant apes howled aloud at the sky. Later, it bent its body forward abruptly and pounded the ground forcefully with its gigantic fists.
The resulting tremor wave shot forward instantly killing every abyssal creature within a thousand meters from where the fists hit the ground.
What was that…
Guo Zhenfeng was dumbstruck with amazement.
He was a Title Douluo-ranked powerhouse, so he had a clear idea of a top soul master’s performance on a battlefield. Yet, it was his first time to witness such a terrifying fighting ability.
This person was definitely no ordinary Title Douluo!
“Perhaps five Title Douluos may not be enough, but five Limit Douluos will definitely do the trick.” Tang Wulin’s voice was heard at the appropriate time.
A soul master who emitted a five-colored radiance landed behind him in the meantime. Although the person did not do anything, he imparted a shocking feeling to everything under the heavens with just his presence. It was precisely the Qilin Douluo Tong Yu.
The five great Limit Douluos who came included Tang Wulin. Although Tang Wulin had yet to achieve the rank of a Limit Douluo with his cultivation base, his reputation as a powerhouse was already established after he severely injured Qiangu Dongfeng with one strike. It was warranted to consider him a Limit Douluo.
