Chapter 398: Bombardment Outside the Steel Wall
As Xu Fan was contemplating his next move, dozens of light curtains materialized around him.
Outside the Steel Wall, a massive Demon Army had gathered.
This time, the Four Beast Clans were present among the beast forces.
In the sky, the shadows of the Four Beast Kings loomed, filling the air with an overwhelming murderous intent.
“Hah, they never learn. The beast race dares to gather in such large numbers again,” Xu Fan remarked, observing the massive assembly of beasts through the light curtains.
“Grape, target each of those Four Beast Kings with a main cannon.”
“Secondary cannons, prepare for a blanket bombardment,” Xu Fan commanded with a wave of his hand.
If the teleportation formation hadn’t been sealed and the supply of materials for main cannon ammunition hadn’t been cut off, Xu Fan would have gladly used the main cannons to obliterate those Four Beast Kings.
“Understood.”
Meanwhile, atop the Steel Wall, Xu Gang gazed at the distant shadows of the Four Beast Kings and the ever-growing Demon Army with a faint, knowing smile.
“These beasts always think they’re invincible just because they have numbers,” Spirit Cut sneered, well aware that something in the sky could launch projectiles directly from the Star Ship.
“Numbers only matter in certain situations,” Xu Gang replied.
At that moment, a colossal spiritual light barrier rose from the Steel Wall, enveloping the thousands of miles of the structure in a protective shield.
“It’s starting,” Xu Gang said, his eyes fixed on the sky.
The clouds above began to take on a reddish hue, as if stained with ink, turning the entire sky a pale red.
The Four Beast Kings looked up, exchanged glances, and then surged toward the heavens, attempting to intercept whatever was descending.
“Seems they’re not entirely foolish—just overestimating their strength,” Xu Fan chuckled.
As the four respected elders charged upward, a deafening roar shook the earth and sky. Four massive shockwaves rippled out, instantly killing the weaker little demons below.
The sky was now completely red, and then thousands of light columns rained down, engulfing the area outside the Steel Wall in a cataclysmic explosion akin to a nuclear blast.
In an instant, the heavens seemed to collapse, and the earth split apart. Torrents of rocks and debris crashed against the Steel Wall’s protective shield.
The bombardment lasted for a full fifteen minutes.
When the smoke finally cleared, a scene of utter devastation lay before those standing atop the Steel Wall.
“That was… terrifying,” Spirit Cut muttered, realizing the sheer scale of destruction and the countless beasts that must have perished.
Xu Gang, however, had a different look in his eyes—a glimmer of something almost like admiration.
“When will my own abilities reach such a level?” he thought to himself.
“Human race elders, you are truly merciless!” The Moon Fox Beast King’s disheveled shadow appeared outside the Steel Wall, her voice filled with fury.
“…” Respected Elder Hu Xiao and Respected Elder Ling Xiu exchanged puzzled glances, wondering what this had to do with them.
“Merciless? Have you forgotten the atrocities your beast race has committed?” Spirit Cut shot back.
“If you want a fight, let’s fight. No need for empty words.” Behind Spirit Cut, a swirling sea of blood seemed to churn ominously.
“Hand over the four master craftsmen of the beast race, and the Four Clans will leave the Steel Wall untouched for Fifty Years,” the Moon Fox Beast King demanded.
“Don’t think for a moment that hiding behind the Steel Wall makes you untouchable.”
“You can’t pull off attacks of that scale too many times, can you?”
The Moon Fox Beast King said to Spirit Cut within the Steel Wall.
If she could just get those four master craftsmen back, she could make the celestial tool recognize her as its master. In fifty years, she’d have full control over it.
Then, it would be time to tear down the Steel Wall and enslave the human race.
Meanwhile, far away on Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan pondered the situation. The proposal actually seemed pretty good.
Of course, he wasn’t about to let go of the master craftsmen now that they were within his grasp.
Fifty years from now, the people on the Steel Wall would still fear the beast race.
Xu Fan thought for a moment and sent a message to Spirit Cut.
On the Steel Wall, Spirit Cut glanced at the message from Xu Fan.
“One hundred years’ time. The beast clan master craftsmen will be exchanged one every twenty-five years.”
Hearing Spirit Cut’s words, the Moon Fox Beast King exploded with rage, feeling utterly insulted.
“Human race, just you wait,” the Moon Fox Beast King said, vanishing into the sky along with the other three beast kings.
“Is she angry?” Spirit Cut turned to Xu Gang beside him and asked.
“Seems like it. You basically made the beast race look like fools,” Xu Gang replied, watching the direction where the beast kings had disappeared.
“……” Spirit Cut felt like he’d really messed up.
Meanwhile, Xu Fan, who had been keeping an eye on the situation, began to speculate on how the four beast kings might retaliate.
“The main cannon has thirty rounds left. Should we buy more from the starlit path?”
Next time, those beast kings would definitely resort to sneak attacks or bring in even more beast kings to assault the Steel Wall.
On the Steel Wall, Grape controlled hundreds of thousands of Spell Puppets to clear and repair the ruins left by the explosion.
A Nascent Soul Stage Spell Puppet used the Earth Motion Technique, turning hundreds of acres of rubble into flat land.
The middle-aged butcher loosened his grip on the Spirit Defying Sword and sighed regretfully. “I thought we were going to have a big battle.”
“Haha, you’re overthinking it. A large-scale attack like that isn’t your job,” Xiang Yun said from the side.
“What was that just now? The power was insane,” the middle-aged butcher asked, feeling as if the explosion had shaken the heavens.
“Not sure myself. Some kind of missile, I think,” Xiang Yun replied.
As the Spell Puppets continued their work, the area outside the Steel Wall was soon restored to flat land.
Then, the Spell Puppets used their spells to turn the flat land into a lush grassland.
“Hmm, that’s better,” Xu Fan said. Staring at ruins all day would be too depressing.
Just then, Li Xingci arrived in Xu Fan’s courtyard.
“Master, the Transformation Stage Moon Fox Clan sent over another hundred or so artifact masters,” Li Xingci reported.
“How many artifact masters does the Moon Fox Clan even have? Did they send them all here?” Xu Fan exclaimed, surprised.
“Pretty much. There aren’t many left in the Moon Fox Clan now.”
“I wonder how that Moon Fox managed to gather so many,” Li Xingci said, equally astonished.
“Must be the power of hatred,” Xu Fan mused.
Li Xingci nodded and then disappeared from Xu Fan’s courtyard.
At that moment, the first clone approached.
Xu Fan looked at the first clone and smiled. “Here to plead for your disciple’s little sister?”
The first clone had a disciple named Ertie, whose little sister wanted to join the sect. Xu Fan had made an exception and arranged an entrance test for her.
That test had revealed an unusual kind of devotion.
In the test’s illusion, the little foodie fought fiercely to protect the sect’s delicacies, even until her last breath, her eyes filled with determination to safeguard the sect’s food.
Though she passed the test, Xu Fan found the whole thing amusing and wasn’t sure whether to let this ultimate foodie into the sect.
