Chapter 746: Assault on Mankind
The aliens of the Milky Way, watching the two beasts brawling, began to shout and cheer in excitement.
Zhang Lie watched the fight as a spectator. At the beginning, he found it quite entertaining—it had been a long time since he had watched other people fight, rather than fight himself. The fact that the two combatants were both giant beasts also lent the fight some ty, but the more he watched, the more boring it all seemed to become.
Zhang Lie's face was expressionless as he observed the proceedings.
The fight was hardly exciting at all; to his eyes, the combatants were brawling inelegantly like two giant babies. Their techniques were childish and unusual, and even watching two babies fight might have been more entertaining.
Zhang Lie felt this way because he was simply too strong, far stronger than the two combatants. As a result, he found the match rather insipid and dull, even though everyone else was having a good time.
By then, the two gigantic beasts had begun tearing at and into each other. Their fight was brutal and barbaric, as though they really were two wild beasts rather than intelligent lifeforms in their own right.
The aliens of the Milky Way whooped.
Xing Ying had transformed into his starbeast form, a golden eagle. Although all his stats had increased greatly, even he couldn't escape ?from the grasp of Beiqi, who was as large as a mountain and had the strength of one to boot. It was almost impossible for Xing Ying to escape his grasp.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing that Beiqi was about to rip off Xing Ying's wings, Zhang Lie sent his two disaster-grade lifeforms into the fray.
Red Comet transformed into a beam of red light that shot toward Beiqi, instantly bloodying him all over. The other lifeform was the massive radiant-scaled beast that had originally belonged to the king of the west. It pounced forward and opened its maw wide, preparing to bite down on Beiqi's flesh.
Beiqi sent it flying away with a bat of his claw.
The fight between two gigantic beasts was now between four, and it was even three against one.
The three beasts instantly took the upper hand and forced Beiqi onto the defensive. Realizing that he would be unable to beat the three beasts together, Beiqi immediately tried to run—but Zhang Lie certainly wouldn't let him leave quite so easily. He finally struck.
A fish composed of genetic energy materialized behind Zhang Lie. He pointed a finger at Beiqi, launching a wave of sword energy at him. The fish surged forward like a shark, riding the wave expertly and clamping down on Beiqi's neck as Beiqi struggled futilely.
The energy flooded Beiqi, sending him crashing down to the ground as the aliens of the Milky Way cheered.
Blood-red rain poured from the skies, and Zhang Lie extended his palm to catch a drop in his hand. "It's the third time I've encountered this phenomenon."
The aliens of the Milky Way, along with Li Qianlin and Dong Mingxing, gasped. Some would be hard-pressed to witness such a phenomenon once in their lives, and Zhang Lie had done so thrice?
The aliens of the Milky Way were particularly shocked, because they knew that Zhang Lie had only been in the realm for less than a year. Was Zhang Lie cursed? Witnessing such an unlucky phenomenon three times in short succession couldn't have been mere chance.
Meanwhile, the humans were blaring warning sirens and sending reports wherever they could. Everyone in the human settlement had been dragged into the conflict, a legendary war at the border of the draconian world and the Mengtai one.
The two worlds were very close together, and the wormhole connecting them was very short—so short that you could almost see one world from the other.
In order to prevent enemy invasion, the draconians had built a great wall by the exit of the wormhole on their end, one over a thousand meters tall and thirty meters thick, difficult to climb and surmount. It was made of a special type of reinforced stone that granted it particular hardness and resilience.
It had withstood all manner of weather, all number of battles, without falling.
Both worlds had committed hundreds of thousands of force to the battlefield; the Mengtai had dispatched almost all their warriors over.
However, the humans and draconians couldn't afford to do so. They were being attacked by multiple forces at the same time, so they had no choice but to split their fighters and protect all the wormhole exits they could.
The Mengtai had instigated this attack, but upon seeing that the draconian world was about to be taken down, the other races nearby likewise attacked the world as one, hoping to gain some of the spoils from the assault.
The two warlords of mankind had been seriously wounded, and the sage of the draconians had personally taken to the battlefield. Even so, they weren't able to hold back the enemies' advance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDragons soared through the air, spraying their fiery breaths onto the battlefield, but some doughty Mengtai warriors leapt up high and began tearing at their wings.
More and more aliens of all sorts appeared: giant birds burning with black flame, monsters with green skin, trees with pitch-black bark...
Mankind fought, and fought, and fought some more.
The invaders didn't expect just how stubborn and persistent the humans and draconians would be. Despite being bombarded by attacks on all fronts, they were somehow resilient enough to fend them all off.
The humans didn't seem as though they would give up without a fight.
In the past, the aliens would have retreated by now; no one was interested in fighting to the death against such crazed fools. However, this was a rare opportunity to defeat these pesky foes once and for all.
Basically all the enemies that the humans and draconians had from the nearby worlds were gathered together for this one battle. Who knew when such an opportunity would come again? Furthermore, if they were to retreat, the humans would surely take revenge on them once they recovered from this beating.
With victory right before their eyes, the aliens certainly weren't willing to give up.
Atop the wall, a gigantic gray dragon gripped onto the stone tiles with its claws as its tail swept aside all foes who dared to draw near. Its eyes were like sapphire gems, as deep as the sea, with intelligence and wisdom beyond measure. A long beard grew from its chin. Quite a few of its scales had been torn off in the heated battle, and blood covered its body. One of its wings was bent unnaturally and stained with blood.
A catapult tossed a gigantic fireball toward the wall, striking it like a meteor and exploding upon impact. The gray dragon deftly struck down as many fireballs as it could from the air, but there were so many of them that it couldn't defend against them all. As the fireballs struck the gray dragon's body, it howled in pain before falling from the wall with a great thud.
The aliens swarmed the fallen dragon, as though intending to devour it alive.
The draconians and humans fought on to the best of their ability, but they were so outnumbered that they were only being pushed farther and farther back.
As the gray dragon fell, the aliens all whooped and cheered, while the humans' and dragons' morale dropped to a nadir...
