Chapter 1791 Eternal Calamity (7)
On the way to the Xia Kingdom, Yun Lintian witnessed many tragic scenes. A profound beast tide was not something that ordinary practitioners could resist. Much less ordinary people.
The situation was similar to the Azure World at that time, but it was more severe. At least there were many top powerhouses holding the line for everyone in the Azure World. However, the powerhouses here didn't even bother taking care of their territory.
If this situation continued, the world would soon crumble.
Yun Tian looked at the gloomy aura lingering around the place with a hint of worry. "Dark aura? Where did it come from?"
It was true that the dark element was a part of nature, but it would never have become this strong without an external factor. Evidently, there was something behind this.
Yun Tian didn't dwell on it and quickly made his way to the Xia Kingdom.
At this moment, the Xia Kingdom's capital city was surrounded by countless profound beasts. All the other cities had fallen long ago after holding the line for years.
"Help! Arghhh!"
Screams and wails echoed everywhere as people were mercilessly torn apart by the fangs of the beasts. Many practitioners were unable to muster their power and died directly.
On the city wall, Xia Wu, the reigning Xia Emperor, gazed at the miserable scene with an unbearable expression. He loved his country and soldiers, but now everything was about to be destroyed.
"Please retreat, Your Majesty." An old general said solemnly.
Xia Wu shook his head and said. "I am the emperor. How could I leave my people and country behind?"
He took a deep breath and unsheathed his sword. "Let's fight to the end."
"Please reconsider your decision, Royal Father." Xia Haocheng quickly spoke, and the others followed suit.
Xia Wu glanced at his son and spoke calmly. "Don't you want me to die so much?"
Xia Haocheng lowered his head and spoke quickly. "You have misunderstood me, Royal Father. How could I have such a malicious thought?"
Xia Wu chuckled and turned to Xia Nongyue. "You should leave."
Xia Nongyue stood upright as she replied. "The Xia Kingdom is my home. I will protect it with my life."
Xia Wu took a deep look at his daughter and let out a soft sigh. "I'm sorry. I have neglected you all this time. You should have your own life."
He turned to Lou Lan and said. "Take her away. This is my order."
Lou Lan hesitated. She knew that Xia Nongyue would never leave.
Xia Nongyue remained silent. A long sword appeared in her hand as she suddenly jumped into the air and rushed toward the horde of profound beasts below.
"You!" Xia Wu's expression changed dramatically. He pointed his sword at the beasts and shouted. "Attack!"
"Yes!" All the soldiers and generals quickly descended from the wall and charged toward the enemy.
Naturally, Xia Haocheng chose to stay behind. He wasn't foolish enough to kill himself.
Xia Nongyue danced with her blade, swiftly slaying the beasts one after another. Her profound strength immediately amazed everyone and gave them hope. Suddenly, they felt that with Xia Nongyue present, there might be a chance to turn things around.
"Roar!" Suddenly, a gigantic tiger rushed out of the crowd and swung its claws toward Xia Nongyue. Its aura clearly belonged to the Monarch Profound Realm.
A cold glint flashed in Xia Nongyue's eyes. Her aura burst forth as she thrust her sword forward.
Bang!
The claws and the sword clashed, creating a powerful impact.
The tiger was immediately sent away, but Xia Nongyue couldn't follow because the other beasts rushed over to stop her.
"Roar!" The tiger rose from the ground and emitted a mighty roar.
Immediately, the other Monarch-level beasts abandoned their opponents and joined the tiger's side. Their eyes were fixated on Xia Nongyue as if they had come to an agreement to bring her down first.
All twenty Monarch-level beasts swarmed towards Xia Nongyue the next moment with terrifying momentum.
Xia Wu's face turned pale upon seeing this scene. "Help her!"
The nearby generals wanted to rush over, but they couldn't free themselves at the moment.
"Princess." Lou Lan shouted anxiously. She was entangled with her opponents and could only watch as those powerful beasts charged at Xia Nongyue.
Xia Nongyue calmed herself and aimed her sword at the approaching beasts. The surrounding temperature sharply dropped, and an image of the moon appeared behind her.
She was about to use a forbidden technique that involved burning her lifespan.
Swish!
However, before Xia Nongyue could unleash her power, a figure suddenly emerged in the sky, accompanied by a powerful force. The twenty or so Monarch-level beasts were instantly cut in half.
This scene immediately stunned everyone.
"Fortunately." Yun Tian spoke while glancing at Xia Nongyue.
Xia Wu gazed at Yun Tian in silence. Since the previous incident, he had learned a lot about Yun Tian. This person had a prominent rise over the decade and emerged as the strongest person in the world. Even the Sky Sword Sect didn't dare to mess with him.
"It seems that our Xia Kingdom can survive this time." Xia Wu muttered to himself as he looked at his daughter with a meaningful smile.
Yun Tian turned to face the sea of profound beasts and spoke loudly. "Everyone, retreat."
Xia Wu promptly ordered his soldiers to withdraw from the scene.
Yun Tian raised his right hand high, and multicolored energy quickly gathered into a glowing ball of light, accompanied by a horrifying pressure that made all the beasts shiver in fright.
He glanced at the beasts and hurled the light ball toward them.
BOOOM—
A massive explosion occurred the moment the ball of light hit the ground. Immediately, all the profound beasts were swallowed by the blast and reduced to nothingness.
Xia Wu and the others looked at the scene in a daze. They had been battling these beasts for years, but Yun Tian could end it with a single strike.
Yun Tian scanned the battlefield with his spiritual sense, ensuring that none of the profound beasts were left behind.
He descended slowly from the sky and landed on the city wall in front of Xia Nongyue.
"Thank you." Xia Nongyue said gently. She stared at Yun Tian's handsome face without blinking.
"Don't speak." Yun Tian said as he grabbed her wrist and injected his wood energy into her body.
Xia Nongyue's body trembled slightly. This was the first time a man had touched her.
"Finally." Yun Lintian smiled when he saw this scene.
