Chapter 949: Chapter 351: Lu Yang’s Plan, Upheaval in Xia City, Sumeru Nightmare, His Highness’s Golden Words_3
"This chill, even those at the Cold Resistance Level might not withstand it. I originally thought that breaking through to the Cold Resistance Level would allow me to climb up along the mountain wall, but now, thinking about it, I was too naive. There’s no way climbing up is possible, those at the Cold Resistance Level jumping down from the cliff would probably freeze into ice blocks before they hit the ground."
Xia Hong’s eyes flashed with a hint of heaviness. He initially wanted to see if there were any avian Cold Beasts living in the crevices of the mountain wall, but after feeling this terrifying low temperature, he immediately vetoed his conjecture.
In this temperature, even Beast King Level Cold Beasts could only barely survive. Which Cold Beast would be so foolish to settle in such a place?
"It seems I can’t find the reason. Forget it, let’s go back to Xia City and discuss!"
Xia Hong slightly shook his head, quickening his descent. The mountain wall was over two thousand meters high, and he soon saw the outline of Xia City from high above.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
However, the closer he got to Xia City, the faster his heart inexplicably beat, until less than a kilometer from the ground, thick smoke wafted into his nostrils. He focused his eyes downward, and his expression instantly changed.
Boom... Boom...
Below, Xia City was unexpectedly on fire.
It wasn’t just one or two places, but over a hundred.
Thick black smoke rolled over the entire city, and he couldn’t see anything on the ground. He could only smell the scent of the smoke.
"What’s happening, Xia City is under attack!"
Xia Hong’s complexion changed suddenly, and he descended rapidly.
"Roar..."
With just a few hundred meters to go, a soul-shaking roar of a Cold Beast suddenly reached his ears, freezing his expression.
"Help, help..."
"Where is the Lord, come save us quickly."
"How can there be such a massive Beast Tide, how, how!"
"Save my child, I beg you, he’s been taken by a Cold Beast."
"Everyone retreat to the Inner City, quickly, retreat to the Inner City."
"Long Wu, Cloud Jiao, and Dragon Slayer troops all go to the Star-picking Hall, protect the Madam and the two heirs, quickly, quickly, quickly."
"Minister, we can’t hold them, the Inner City has fallen too, it’s all Cold Beasts, so many Beast Kings."
"Even if we can’t hold, we must hold, the Madam and the heirs cannot be lost, go quickly!"
"Put out the fire, quickly put out the fire of the Yangxu Tripod, the Cold Beasts are all heading to the main Political Hall, the Star-picking Hall is just behind it."
..........
Bang!
Xia Hong burst out of the dense smoke in the sky, his face flushed red, his pupils instantly filled with blood, drawing the Dragon Sparrow from his waist. In a flash, he cut down two advanced White Simurghs in mid-air. Seeing the thick smoke and bodies filling the city, he was instantly dumbfounded. He roared furiously, slaughtering the Cold Beasts in front of him in a frenzy, and charged madly towards the Inner City direction.
"What’s going on, how can there be a Beast Tide, where did it come from!"
The entire Xia City had already been occupied by dense Cold Beasts!
The eight districts of the Outer City had long turned into mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with Cold Beasts ravenously feasting on the remains scattered on the ground. With just a glance, Xia Hong spotted at least hundreds of Beast Kings, tens of thousands of advanced Cold Beasts, and innumerable mid to low-level Cold Beasts, almost filling every corner of Xia City.
He could hardly see any living people in the Outer City.
"The Inner City, the Inner City, they’ve all retreated to the Inner City, there’s still hope!"
Xia Hong’s face was filled with panic at this moment. Xia City, which he had painstakingly managed for nearly a decade, was destroyed in an instant, making his heart bleed. If the family and relatives in the Inner City were also in trouble, he didn’t know if he would have the courage to continue surviving in this Ice Hell.
Bang!
At this moment, Xia Hong unleashed his full strength, a thousand-foot dark red bone appearance phantom roaring out from behind him. He swept through the surroundings, slaying advanced, even Beast King Level foes, charging straight into the Inner City.
"The Lord is back, the Lord is back."
"Lord, help, the Star-picking Hall has been breached!"
"There are so many, too many Cold Beasts, why are there so many!"
.........
Indeed, some people were still alive in the Inner City, but they were all gathered in the collapsed Star-picking Hall. Long Wu, Cloud Jiao, Dragon Slayer, and the other four armies had all returned.
However, at this moment, the army was decimated, barely one in ten remaining. Many soldiers desperately resisted the Cold Beasts continuously charging at them, under the leadership of Xia Chuan and Yuwen Dao.
Li Xuanling was also there, holding the Heavenly Transformation Sword, hysterically hacking into the left side of the Beast Tide. Seeing Xia Hong arrive, she immediately cried out for help.
"Xia Hong, quickly save Yu Yao, she was taken by that Cold Beast."
Hearing Li Xuanling’s voice, Xia Hong, almost at the Star-picking Hall, quickly looked toward the left side of the Beast Tide.
Upon seeing, his eyes instantly filled with blood, and his whole aura deflated a few notches.
At the very back of the left side of the Beast Tide, his eldest daughter Yu Yao was being held in the mouth of a half-meter-long Fire Stone Tiger. That Fire Stone Tiger was pitifully small, even smaller than a Beast King, but its black and white eyes, along with its ruby-like translucent fur, proved its power, far beyond just Beast King Level.
"I’ll slay you, you vile beast!"
Xia Hong roared hysterically, his reaction even more intense than Li Xuanling’s.
Because both of Yu Yao’s arms had been bitten off by that Fire Stone Tiger, she was wailing in agony.
As a father, witnessing his daughter being harmed like this, how could Xia Hong remain calm? His eyes were blood-red, completely lacking any rationality, as he charged into the Beast Tide with his sword drawn.
Frost Wolf, Snow Mane, Demon Sheep, Frost Electric Ape, Striped Tiger, Blue Moon Elf, Cloud Mist Teng Jiao, Golden Armored Thunder Kui... In an instant, dozens of Beast King Level Cold Beasts from over ten species surrounded Xia Hong.
