Chapter 194: Chapter 193: The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle Shows Its Might

Fuhai Villa Complex.

"Master, there are so many Star Beasts!"

On the sofa, Xiaobai was holding a phone, watching the live broadcast. She scampered to her feet, ran to Qin Yang’s side, and shook his arm.

"They’re all over the city gate!"

"Master, aren’t you going to do something?!"

"....."

Qin Yang remained silent.

He just leaned quietly against the balcony, his fluid Spiritual Power spreading out to probe the situation at the city gate.

He had already thoroughly assessed their defensive forces from the moment the city defense teams began to assemble, along with the scale of the Star Beasts outside the walls.

Man versus beast, a struggle against the heavens.

But...

"It’s not time yet."

Qin Yang gazed toward the city gate. Beneath the vast starlight, the auras of the beast horde were chaotic, but hidden amongst them was a powerful presence.

It was like a dormant undercurrent in the depths of the ocean.

That aura was as vast as mountains and seas, far surpassing these King Level Star Beasts. Even...

’Even I would find it difficult to handle.’

........

Jianghai City Gate.

Banners fluttered, and the shouts of people shook the air.

Under the vast starlight,

Tens of thousands of Star Beasts roared as they charged out of the Da Li Mountain Range, forming a black tide that rushed straight for the Jianghai Border Line.

But opposing them,

On the battlements of Jianghai City, combat platforms on the city’s foundation rose up. High-explosive grenade launchers, cluster rockets, the Thunder Light Killing Array... an arsenal of long-range weapons was already aimed at the charging Star Beasts.

The next moment.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—

Hundreds of heat-seeking missiles launched in unison, streaking across the sky and igniting the city’s defensive barrage!

Explosions ripped through the beast horde. Amidst deafening roars, the conventional weapons wiped out a large swath of Star Beasts, tearing a gap in the black tide.

But soon!

Tens of thousands more Star Beasts continued their charge.

They surged forward under the barrage, some descending from the sky, others leaping from the ground, trampling the corpses of their own kind into a pulp as they advanced, one wave after another!

Between Jianghai and the Da Li Mountain Range...

The black tideline drew closer, the distance shrinking. Their savage roars were almost deafening, echoing in everyone’s ears.

"Everyone, continue! Prepare for the second wave of thermal cleansing!!"

On the city wall, the Commander stood before the crowd, raising his right hand to give the order. Veins bulged on his neck like furious serpents as he commanded once more.

The first round of thermal cleansing was just an appetizer.

With the accumulation of the past twenty years, Jianghai’s defensive capabilities were far beyond what they used to be.

At his command,

Cannons long and short extended from the city walls!

Cluster rockets were raised, the Thunder Light Killing Array hummed to life, and floating cannons hovered high above.

In an instant, lightning, cannon fire, and Sword Qi filled the sky above Jianghai... Jianghai City erupted on this night.

A massive volley of guided thermal attacks was unleashed.

BOOM!

Another gap was torn in the Beast Tide...

But more Star Beasts filled the breach. Only the weak ones died to the artillery; the powerful ones could already mitigate the damage.

And the King Level Star Beasts were even tanking the cannon fire with their physical bodies!

Below the city walls,

They passed through the smoke and fire, like moving mountains, closing in on Jianghai’s border step by step. Smaller, more agile beasts surged ahead, probing the City Defense Array.

"The guided weapon defense line has been breached!!"

"All personnel, prepare for engagement!"

"WHOO—"

On the wall, an alarm siren blared. Elder Li drew his sword and moved to support Li Daoming, grabbing his arm.

"I will lend you my strength!"

"I’m grateful."

Li Daoming and Elder Li looked at each other and nodded firmly. The two Innate experts simultaneously channeled their Star Force.

The next moment!

VMMMM!

Fierce Sword Qi poured into the City Defense Array. An astral wind billowed, forming a river of Sword Qi around the city. Countless blades of Sword Qi unfurled; the wind itself seemed to transform into ten thousand sharp blades.

SCHLICK! SCHLICK!

A rain of blood and gore descended below the city wall. In an instant, the probing beasts were sliced apart, their limbs shattering on the spot. They fell more than a hundred meters from the Star Curtain.

Even in death...

They never managed to take a single step toward the city gate.

The defenses of the Jianghai City Wall were bolstered!

The wind was like a scythe, reaping the life force of thousands of smaller beasts.

The scent of blood drifted up to the city wall, stirring the bloodlust and battle intent of everyone present.

"Elder Li is mighty!!"

The Sword Cultivator Star Martial Artists defending the wall were ecstatic at the sight. They looked toward Elder Li with gazes full of admiration.

His Sword Qi, a Great Wall; his one sword, a city’s salvation.

Elder Li was well past his sixtieth year.

’I may be old, but I still possess the power of mountains and seas!’

But...

It was still far from enough.

BANG! BANG!

The impacts were as heavy as the tolling of a great bell.

Outside the wall, more Star Beasts charged, their bodies covered in wounds. They broke through the range of the sword wind and began smashing their sharp-horned heads against the city wall.

At the base of the wall, brains and gore splattered everywhere.

The Star Martial Artists on the battlements rained down their Star Force, unleashing a bloodbath on the Star Beasts below.

Suddenly! 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"ROAR—"

A series of furious roars echoed through the night sky.

Everyone looked toward the sound.

It was the King Level Star Beasts roaring—

Their bodies were like mountains, and their rage soared as they sensed the deaths of their kin.

The next moment,

They charged directly at the City Defense Array!

"BOOM!"

The impact!

The King Level Star Beasts charged forward, their mountain-like bodies crashing into the protective array. The city walls seemed on the verge of collapse, their century-old foundations trembling. The City Defense Array hummed violently.

It was as if it was letting out a dying whimper...

Dust rained down as the city walls shook violently.

Everyone stumbled and swayed, struggling to keep their balance amidst the impacts.

"There are too many!"

Li Daoming’s brow was furrowed as he controlled the City Defense Array Map.

The City Defense Array was currently impregnable; the other Star Beasts were no cause for concern.

They alone could not breach the city gate.

However,

These King Level Star Beasts were the real threat!

Such a large number had long since surpassed the defensive limits of the Jianghai City Wall. If this continued... he feared the City Defense Array would be destroyed in a matter of minutes.

Realizing this,

Everyone manned the gaps in the battlements, unleashing their Star Force and attacking the King Level Star Beasts in unison.

Cannon fire, guns, and swords.

Countless attacks landed on their bodies.

But it was like water off a duck’s back, not making the slightest ripple.

"We can’t break through their defense..."

"Hold the line! We can’t fall back!"

"The beast’s hide is too thick! Focus fire on its limbs, see if that works!"

They all unleashed their Star Force aimlessly, a futile effort. If they couldn’t take down the King Level Star Beasts, all their previous efforts would likely be for nothing.

......

"Everyone, stop! Don’t waste your Star Force in vain!!"

At this critical moment,

The Chief Commander shouted, stepping forward. He slowly walked to the edge of the battlements, meeting everyone’s gazes as he faced one of the King Level Star Beasts.

Humans were frail.

Before such a behemoth, he seemed as insignificant as an ant. In that instant, countless eyes focused on the Commander, and people broke out in a cold sweat for him.

But then,

The next moment,

They saw it.

The Commander raised and flipped his hand, producing a black Iron Tube. He aimed it steadily at the beast’s head, holding his breath and focusing his spirit.

’What is that?’

Some of the Loose Cultivators were puzzled, having never seen a Star Artifact of this design.

But before they could ponder it!

The Commander activated the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, its flash illuminating the gloomy night sky like a sudden spring dawn.

SHOO! SHOO! SHOO!

A volley of silver needles shot out!

They pierced the King Level Star Beast’s skull, effortlessly pulverizing its brain. Its mountain-like body was toppled, crashing heavily to the ground and crushing a swath of Star Beasts beneath it.

Utterly suppressed!

The once-invincible King Level Star Beast?

Before the Pear Blossom Needle, it was nothing more than an ant!!

"???"

The Loose Cultivators were dumbfounded, staring at the fallen King Level Star Beast.

’A King Level Star Beast, killed in a single blow?’

"What kind of weapon is that? It’s utterly terrifying!"
