Chapter 265
The Beastmen in the city all thought the rebel army was at its end and peace was finally coming, but they didn’t expect the flames of war to ignite once again.
The wildfire, fiercer than ever, destroys everything in its path!
Zaxxis personally led the main force, with dozens of Eighth Rank Beastmen under his command, as well as three Ninth Rank Vice Generals, advancing with overwhelming power.
This, indeed, is the true battle for survival.
The retired Head of the Yun Family and several old veterans had no choice but to personally take to the battlefield.
Times are different now, this confrontation is terrifying beyond measure, a battle entirely between top-level experts, and Beastmen below the Eighth Rank would merely be fodder, so Xue Yinzhou strictly forbade Shen Tang from going to the battlefield this time.
Shen Tang wasn’t foolish enough to throw her life away; in the previous battle she could at least hold her own and lead troops, but this time she would clearly be nothing but fodder.
Moreover, her identity was too special; once captured by the enemy as a prisoner, it would be the greatest threat to Xue Yinzhou and the others.
This time, Shen Tang was responsible for logistics, focusing on healing the wounded and maintaining the army’s sufficient combat power.
Outside the city, chaos reigned as several powerful superpowers clashed, causing even the city gates to tremble.
The Head of the Yun Family transformed into a massive Icefield Snow Wolf, leaping down from the towering city wall. Centered around him, a vast field of ice spread out, instantly freezing the lower ranking rebel army into ice sculptures, unable to advance a single step further.
Following that, countless Ice Blades shot out, shattering the ice sculptures into fragments scattered across the air, leaving no trace of blood.
Zaxxis had just effortlessly dealt with two Eighth Rank Main Generals, and upon turning, saw this reckless old white wolf, his face darkened,
a cruel smile forming on his bright red lips, “This old thing, just like your son, is truly disgusting p>
He twisted his neck, his figure disappearing in an instant, and in the next second, appeared next to the old white wolf.
His hands transformed into pitch-black claws, piercing through the old white wolf’s body in an instant!
The claws tore into the flesh, viciously stirring, and with a backward pull, pulled out a large chunk of blood and flesh, leaving a deep, chilling wound!
Yun Hong’s heart was crushed on the spot by Zaxxis and was kicked like garbage several meters away, crashing into ancient trees and falling to the ground in a disheveled state.
A bloody, gaping hole appeared in his abdomen, blood gushing out, wetting a large patch of fur, forming a small stream of blood beneath him.
Though the Head of the Yun Family was Ninth Rank in strength, unfortunately, due to his age, he was no longer in his prime. Zaxxis, with his strength at the Peak of Tier Nine Mid-stage, was just a step away from entering the Peak of Ninth Rank.
His true strength on the battlefield was nearly unmatched!
Zaxxis, looking at the weakening old wolf king, tilted his head with a smile, a blood-red blade forming in his palm, intending to send the old thing on his final journey.
A penetratingly sharp Ice Blade came hurtling through the air with full force.
He dodged instantly, only to be hit on the arm by the Ice Blade, rapidly spreading frost freezing the arm.
Zaxxis turned to coldly look at the approaching Yun Han, dark red blood patterns suddenly appearing on his arm, shattering the ice like magma.
His thin lips curled up, revealing sharp white teeth, sinisterly, “I didn’t expect you to still be alive, you truly have a hardy life p>
Yun Han hurriedly supported the gravely injured Yun Hong, his eyes red with rage and anguish, growling from his throat, “You are truly despicable p>
Zaxxis smiled sinisterly, “Since both father and son are here to die, I’ll just settle it all at once p>
Yun Han laid his father on the ground and instantly transformed into his true form, charging into battle.
In extreme rage, his Ninth Rank strength erupted to its maximum, even Zaxxis felt a hint of pressure.
His eyes became more dangerously cold, claws thrusting towards Yun Han’s chest, while Ice Blades grazed his neck, leaving a bloody mark.
As the two fought fiercely, Xue Yinzhou also rushed over, joining the fray.
Zaxxis immediately felt the pressure double.
He was uninterested in a prolonged battle, reusing his old trick to leave through spatial manipulation.
Unable to kill him, Yun Han let out a thunderous roar, causing the surrounding trees to rustle and a large number of leaves to fall.
When Shen Tang arrived, she saw the Head of the Yun Family Yun Hong on the verge of death, a huge hole in his chest, his body emaciated, blood nearly drained, almost indistinguishable from a corpse.
Yun Han was kneeling beside his father, eyes full of tears, overwhelmed by pain and helplessness.
When he saw Shen Tang arrive, a flicker of hope ignited in his eyes, and he staggered towards her, pleading, “Shen Tang, please, save my father p>
“You could even save me and Shen Xu who was nearly dead, you must be able to save my father p>
Previously, she had used her healing ability to treat severely injured Beastmen, finding various excuses to cover it up, but directly bringing the dead back to life would be tantamount to announcing to the world that she possessed a top-level Healing Ability.
A top-level Healing Ability is like a double-edged sword; she couldn’t predict whether its full exposure would bring fortune or disaster.
Shen Tang dared not gamble here with the Yun Family, nor was she saintly enough to exchange her safety for people unrelated to her.
Seeing her cold expression, Yun Han felt a void within him, his blood turning cold, his body involuntarily trembling.
Suddenly, before everyone present, he “thud” knelt at Shen Tang’s feet, his voice hoarse to the extreme, “I beg you, save my father… My Yun Family has fought for generations for the Empire, my father in his youth expanded the Empire’s territories and won countless victories, he shouldn’t die like this p>
“As long as you can bring him back to life, I am willing to do your bidding, to agree to any of your demands p>
Everyone present was stunned; this was the proud and haughty Young Master Yun, kneeling for the first time in his life to ask for help.
Shen Tang’s body stiffened, her face full of disbelief.
Upon hearing Yun Han’s words, her expression grew even more complex, for she feared the original owner of her body longed her entire life for that promise.
Unfortunately, that promise held no allure for her.
She did not need him to do anything for her.
Though the departure of the old Head of the Yun Family was regrettable to Shen Tang, the Yun Family was a founding aristocratic family, a loyal family that had offered countless lives for the Empire, setting aside past personal grievances, Shen Tang truly respected the Yun Family deep down.
The Head of the Yun Family died today; the Yun Family’s troops would inevitably be shaken, and morale would plummet in the Guard Army as well.
This was a significant taboo for the current situation.
As Shen Tang hesitated, Dog System suddenly told her something from the original owner’s deep memory, a childhood memory she hadn’t understood.
It turned out that when the original owner was young, Yun Han once saved her life.
Once, she sneaked out of the Imperial Palace and was targeted by malicious people, just so happened to be rescued by a passing Yun Han.
Unfortunately, the original owner had transformed into a beast form, and Yun Han did not know who she was, jokingly scolded her as a hideous and stupid little creature, and then left.
From that day on, the original owner fell deeply in love with the handsome and noble young man and because of Yun Han’s words that day, she never transformed again, fearing she would leave a bad impression in his heart, scared he’d find out that hideous, fat kitten was her.
After reviewing this memory, Shen Tang finally understood why the original owner was so madly infatuated with Yun Han.
With her status and S-level spiritual power, she could have surrounded herself with plenty of aristocratic beauties if she wished.
But she only wanted Yun Han, even agreeing to make him her chief husband, something unprecedented in history.
It turns out there was a life-saving grace!
