Chapter 221 Beast King's Aid
Song Chen shook the blood off the knife and walked past Tianlang's corpse.
Behind them, the entire logistics base had been turned into a complete mess.
More than twenty psionic bombs sent one-fifth of the psionic ore pile into the air, and blue-white psionic flames burned throughout the ice valley, while shattered psionic ore crystals continued to explode.
The Sirius defenders who weren't hit by the bomb poured out from all directions, but they couldn't find the enemy.
Song Chen stopped hiding and deliberately chose to rush through areas with many spirit ore deposits. Every time he rushed through a deposit, he would unleash a sword aura. The hundred-meter-long sword aura cleaved the spirit ore in two and simultaneously detonated the high-purity spiritual energy inside.
He fought his way through the explosions and smoke, stopping briefly at the rear of the base to retrieve the last few psionic bombs from his system space and stuff them into the meat storage in the ice cellar area.
Explosions echoed behind them, half of the ice wall in the ice cellar collapsed, and a large amount of high-level alien beast meat was crushed by the shockwave, quickly freezing into worthless clumps of flesh and ice in the polar low temperature.
The kill count jumped rapidly: 100,000, 200,000, 500,000, 1 million...
He fought for nearly twenty minutes in the logistics base, from the base entrance to the ice cellar area, and then back to the spirit ore pile.
As the number of defenders increased, the fifth-tier Sirius began to organize an encirclement.
He cleaved through the two fourth-tiered obstacles blocking his path with a single strike, and was about to slip through the gap in the encirclement when his Eye of Truth suddenly detected a surge of spiritual energy from the north.
A Sirius Guard was rushing towards the main battlefield, led by a Tier 6 beast.
"The reinforcements arrived really quickly."
Song Chen looked up at the powerful aura rapidly approaching from the north.
"Two hundred of them are at least level four, and one is at level six. The Sirius King has brought back his entire guard. He's really giving me face."
He didn't linger in the fight; he used his flying movement technique to push his speed to the limit and slipped through the gaps in the encirclement.
As he passed the last pile of unexploded spirit ore, he casually slashed with his blade, the blade's energy igniting the high-purity spiritual energy inside the ore, sending blue-white flames soaring into the sky.
Under the cover of firelight and smoke, he rushed out of the north side of the base and into a jagged forest of ice towers on the outskirts of the Ice Valley.
Behind them, the logistics base had been reduced to ruins, with blue and white psionic flames still burning and black smoke rising.
The supporting wolves rushed into the base. The leading sixth-tier wolves circled the ruins, looked at the spirit ore fragments and charred beast meat scattered all over the ground, and let out an extremely angry roar.
Outside the logistics base, Song Chen squatted under a giant ice rock, watching the Sirius search team wander aimlessly in the ice valley below.
The sixth-tier celestial wolf leading the way had already made two round trips. Each time it passed by him, it didn't even look up. The swirling vortex completely enveloped his aura, making him appear as an ordinary piece of ice rock to the sixth-tier's perception.
Song Chen wrapped his cloak tighter, took out his tactical terminal, and switched to an encrypted channel.
"teacher."
Zhou Wangyue answered after two seconds, the background sounds being the muffled thud of a psionic shockwave hitting an ice wall and the howls of wolves rising and falling: "Speak."
"I destroyed about half of the logistics base when Sirius called in reinforcements from the front. It was a Tier 6, and it brought two hundred guards."
"Were any other Tier 6 units transferred from the front?"
"Just one, recently broke through, early stage of sixth rank."
"The Sirius King has committed all his remaining Tier 6 units to the front lines; he can't draw any more."
After speaking, Zhou Wangyue paused for a moment.
"You're not planning to take direct action, are you?"
"Even the first stage is at the sixth level, don't be impulsive."
I want to give it a try.
Song Chen's words were full of confidence.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Wangyue finally spoke.
"Alright, let's give it a try. Sirius is starting to increase its power on the front, so I can't spare any attention for now. You'll have to handle things on your end."
"Okay." Song Chen hung up the call and put the terminal back in his pocket.
Sixth-order initial stage, recently broken through.
It's a suitable target.
Song Chen turned to look at the giant wolf in the ice valley, which was irritably scratching at the ice. It was nearly a hundred meters long.
His left ear was missing a piece, and he had injuries on his body, probably from the battle just now.
Song Chen stared at it for a long time, but the person on the other side still hadn't noticed him.
A surprise attack would be ideal.
The sixth-stage initial level is still sixth-stage, with over 100,000 Qi and Blood, while he only has 17,000. A head-on collision is like trying to cut an iron plate with a knife.
Moreover, this creature had just broken through to the sixth rank, its realm was unstable, and it was agitated. After chasing a fifth-rank creature for several rounds without finding it, its alertness had been suppressed by its agitation.
Its mind is now preoccupied with "Where is this human hiding?" rather than "Will this human suddenly turn around and stab me in the back?"
Song Chen redeemed a bottle of S-grade spiritual energy replenishment liquid from the system shop, drank it all in one gulp, and his internal energy and blood were greatly restored.
Then they began to build up their strength.
The eighth strike of the Seven Heavenly Thunder Slashes was used once in the Northern Plains. The blade energy collapsed from pure gold to pure white, killing the enemy with a single strike.
He hasn't used it since then, as it consumes too much energy, but now he has millions of kill points, and he can buy and use the recovery potions in the system shop whenever he wants.
The problem is timing; the first strike must be successful.
He crouched in the shadows, his Eye of Truth locking onto the right hind knee of the sixth-tier celestial wolf.
The location of the joint seam is exposed every time it turns around. The gap between the cartilage joints is less than two centimeters wide, but it is magnified ten times in the Eye of Truth.
He wasn't waiting for it to reveal a flaw, but for it to stop.
After waiting another ten minutes, the sixth-order Sirius finally stopped, turned around towards the Ice Valley, and exhaled a breath of white air.
It issued new search instructions to the search team, briefly shifting its attention away from its surroundings.
Right now.
Song Chen silently slid out from the shadow of the ice rock, his master-level soaring movement technique blending into an almost non-existent gray wind trail in the polar wind.
He circled around to the back of the giant wolf and tapped the ice with his toes.
The giant wolf was still howling ahead, and the search team was regrouping without looking back.
The Heavenly Blade was drawn, and golden-purple arcs of electricity flickered across its blade for a moment before he forcibly suppressed them to the lowest level.
The blade energy of the eighth strike began to condense, with three colors—golden purple, crimson gold, and pure gold—flashing across the blade in turn before being compressed and collapsed into an extremely thin and bright pure white blade beam.
The air within a radius of tens of meters was drawn in by the blade's energy and then pushed back by its edge.
In that instant, the giant wolf sensed the psionic energy fluctuations behind it. It turned its head sharply, and the pure white blade energy was reflected in its pupils.
Its eyes changed from fury to disbelief. A fifth-order human not only didn't run away, but also turned back.
Not only did it turn around, but it also prepared a powerful strike with such terrifying energy fluctuations.
The energy fluctuations of this strike have exceeded its entire understanding of the fifth rank.
It tried to turn sideways, tried to swing its tail to block, and tried to use its hind legs to push off the ground and create distance.
But it was too late.
The pure white blade energy slashed precisely at the knee joint of the right hind leg.
The cartilage was severed, the ligaments were torn, and the blade's energy pierced through from the other side of the joint.
Blood gushed out as a thick wolf leg was neatly severed at the knee. The severed leg tumbled through the air a few times before crashing onto the ice, splashing up a spray of blue blood.
"Aww!"
The scream of the sixth-order Sirius shattered several kilometers of ice.
It lost its balance, flipped over on its side on the ice, and crushed a large area of low icicles.
