Chapter 372 Reinforcements From The Capital

26 Supreme Great Ancestors surrounded Ou Yangming and Wu Hanning.

Although Ou Yangming and Wu Hanning wanted to contribute too, the powerful great ancestors obstructed them on purpose, so they could not get close to any ferocious beast.

The powerhouses were all Supreme Great Ancestors.

Even if they had just become great ancestors a few months ago, they had indeed entered the Extreme Great. What was more frightening was they each carried a custom-made magic tool made by Ou Yangming.

The magic tools were not like Elder Universe’s treasure sword nor were they like the Ni family’s great ancestors’ spear and military saber.

They were formidable magic tools, which had been smithed accordingly after Ou Yangming spoke to the Supreme Great Ancestors to complement their strengths. Without a doubt, the new great ancestors’ combat powers with their tailored magic tools were superior to that of the Ni family’s two experienced Supreme Great Ancestors with their ordinary magic tools.

There was a huge disparity between a professional’s specially-made equipment and a casually acquired one.

Among Elder Universe and the other Supreme Great Ancestors from Changlong County, only 3 of them had magic tools.

Nonetheless, they managed to make a bloody path amidst countless ferocious beasts and stopped the Earthly Dragon Beasts at roughly 5 kilometers from the city.

When Ou Yangming, Woo Lejia, and the 25 other Supreme Great Ancestors charged into the beast herd, they became a massive round-shaped mincer. Any ferocious beast that got close to their formation was killed right away without having the chance to escape at all.

“Earthly Dragon Beasts!”

Wu Hanning mumbled as she looked at the particularly eye-catching, humongous creatures. In the middle of the formation formed by 26 great ancestors, Ou Yangming, who was safe and sound, asked in a deep voice, “What’s that?”

“A kind of powerful half-spirit beast. They don’t belong in our world because we can’t feed them,” Wu Hanning answered seriously. “Where did they come from?”

“From that realm! During the past disasters, when the spirit beast from the upper realm descends, it might bring one Earthly Dragon Beast with it,” Wu Hanning briefly explained.

“One?”

“Yes, Earthly Dragon Beasts aren’t spirit beasts, but their combat powers aren’t inferior to rudimentary-ranked spirit beasts’. In certain aspects, they’re even trickier to handle than spirit beasts, so one is the limit.”

Ou Yangming had a strange look on his face. “But there are three of them here…”

A flicker was seen in Wu Hanning’s beautiful eyes as she replied to the young fellow, “I can see them, but I can’t explain it.”

“How should we tackle them?” Ou Yangming immediately cut to the chase. No matter where the gigantic creatures came from, it was imperative that they needed a way to subdue them.

Wu Hanning answered after some thought, “Back then, Changlong County was the one that killed them.”

“How did they do it?” Ou Yangming asked curiously.

Even though they were quite a distance away, when Ou Yangming looked at their enormous bodies, he could not figure out the way to eliminate them.

“Thunderballs,” Wu Hanning noted, “The Ni family has the upper realm’s inheritance too and is given gifts. Before the disasters, they could always obtain through a secret technique some Thunderballs, which are the best weapons against the Earthly Dragon Beasts.”

“Why aren’t they using them then?”

“I don’t know. Perhaps they’ve already used it before.”

“Are there other options?” “Spiritual Enticement.” Wu Hanning smiled faintly and said, “Earthly Dragon Beasts have tyrannical body strengths, but they have poor mental powers. If you use the Spiritual Enticement on them, perhaps you’ll resolve the crisis now.”

Ou Yangming gasped and touched his specially-made arm guard. He had a grave expression on his face.

‘Are these tremendous creatures going to my Spiritual Fist’s first targets in Changlong County?’

The young fellow and the princess did not speak loudly, but the Supreme Great Ancestors around them heard them clearly, hence they were relieved. Since the Spiritual Enticement could be used against the three giant beasts, what would they need to worry about?

They were on a killing spree, making them look awe-inspiring and unstoppable. However, honestly, anyone would be frightened at the sight of the three giant beasts. Even so, the Supreme Great Ancestors knew very well that Ou Yangming would not sit by idly, thus they bit the bullet and attacked. They initially thought they would need to pay huge prices to kill the giant beasts though they had a magic tool each. Now…

Their confidence in Ou Yangming’s Spiritual Fist was greater than the confidence he had in himself.

As the 26 Supreme Great Ancestors escorted Ou Yangming and Wu Hanning, they swept the battlefield at the speed of light and got closer to the three creatures.

Ni Xuetian held his military saber and jumped around to attract one of the Earthly Dragon Beasts’ attention. It was an incredibly dangerous move, but he could not evade his responsibility. When the elder looked away for a second and noticed a familiar figure, he shouted as he was elated, “Lil’ Friend Ou, welcome home!”

Fang Zhaoyang and the other people were overjoyed too. They had great eyesight and were experienced. Judging from how forceful the reinforcements were, they knew the group of powerhouses were valiant and were stronger than the 10 over Supreme Great Ancestors combined.

Sure enough, when Ou Yangming and his team arrived, Changlong County’s great ancestors recognized at once that everyone apart from Ou Yangming and the lady with the scarf were Supreme Great Ancestors. Seeing as they crushed their way through as if they were slicing watermelons, the elders were shocked but delighted

They found it unbelievable that Ou Yangming brought reinforcements that comprised over 20 Supreme Great Ancestors.

The Humans somewhat had a fixed number of Supreme Great Ancestors, who were pillars and stabilizers. It would be fine to transfer one or two of them around, but it was impossible to shift over 20 of them together.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming had indeed brought powerhouses of such level.

Changlong County’s great ancestors wondered, ‘Could that… Rumor be true?’ The Myriad Treasure Meet ended a month ago and while Ou Yangming’s performance in the ring was not known throughout the world, they had more or less heard about it.

Despite that, it sounded so much like a fantasy that even those who were optimistic about Ou Yangming were still doubtful.

That said, it was not the time to investigate the problem at the moment. They quickly focused on the fight again.

When everyone finally gathered, Woo Lejia roared and wielded his nine-ringed saber. The Earthly Dragon Beasts lifted their feet without sparing a glance at him, then they began to move forward.

Among these powerhouses, the beasts were slightly wary of the three people with magic tools. As for the other people, the creatures would only crush them into meat paste.

Ni Jingshen warned the others right away, “Everyone, be careful. These Earthly Dragon Beasts have exceptionally tough skins and can’t be hurt easi… Hey?” Before he could finish, he saw Woo Lejia dodge one of the dragon beasts nimbly and slashed his nine-ringed saber across its leg. Blood splattered out in an instant, causing the ground to be painted red.

The small wound could not threaten the Earthly Dragon Beast, but it was a breakthrough as it caused the beast some substantial harm.

Another Supreme Great Ancestor lunged at another dragon beast with a longsword. As a sword-light flashed in the air, its body was cut too.

Following that, the other Supreme Great Ancestors followed suit one after another. Their body techniques were not as great as Changlong County’s experienced great ancestors, but they could hurt the Earthly Dragon Beasts each time they attacked. Regardless of the size of the wounds, they still managed to harm the beasts.

When the injuries added up, the three Earthly Dragon Beasts became covered in wounds.

The beasts would not have cared if there was only one toothpick because a small injury was insignificant to them.

It was when there were nearly 30 toothpicks the beast could not ignore them anymore.

Furious roars filled the air. The Earthly Dragon Beasts forgot about missions, where they shifted their bodies clumsily, intending to wipe out the annoying little insects.

They had been advancing toward the city walls the moment they appeared. Even when Elder Universe and the others stopped them, they never stopped going forward no matter their speed.

Who knew, they completely gave up on their goal at that point as they confronted the powerhouses around them. Far away, the Eight-armed Giant Beast widened its eyes and mumbled, “What’s going on? Where did the magic tools come from?”

A group of over 20 Supreme Great Ancestors could not be treated lightly at all, but they still could not stop the Earthly Dragon Beasts. On the other hand, a group of over 20 Supreme Great Ancestors with magic tools was entirely different.

The little red bird flapped its wings excitedly and exclaimed, “Interesting! This is interesting! This is what I call a good show!”

Nonetheless, the Eight-armed Giant Beast twitched its mouth and lifted its head to let out a deafening roar.

The three Earthly Dragon Beasts on the battlefield quivered all of a sudden. Subsequently, they turned around and ignored the Supreme Great Ancestors, who were flying around them like flies. The dragon beasts continued to move toward the city walls firmly.

Elder Universe and the other people were taken aback. They had tried to stop the beasts as much as they could, but their efforts were to no avail.

They could keep injuring the Earthly Dragon Beasts, but they could not kill them swiftly.

“Am I still not going to survive?’ Elder Universe sighed with a grim look on his face.

At the spur of the moment, Ou Yangming, who was a distance away from the chaotic scene, made a move by punching from afar.

An indescribably peculiar power was released, and it enveloped the three Earthly Dragon Beasts.

‘Active Charm, Active Alluring Scentstimulated! Spiritual Fist… Release!’
