Chapter 541: Life-and-Death Battle (Part 2)

A beam of destructive light instantly pierced through a thousand feet, striking one of the two-headed giants.

The giant’s massive body exuded a terrifying aura, but its reaction was clearly slow. It only realized what had happened after half of its shoulder was blown apart, unleashing an angry and pained roar.

It dropped the stone club it was holding and scooped up four or five giants in its rough hands, stuffing them into its bloodthirsty mouth, chewing a few times before swallowing.

The area hit by the God-slaying cannon visibly regenerated at an incredible speed!

The other giants completely ignored their companion’s fate and continued marching with unwavering determination.

Each step they took covered ten feet of distance!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wei Fa City had eighty-one towers, each equipped with a God-slaying cannon.

Earlier, these city defense weapons had been attacking the giant eagles in the sky, but now they lowered their cannons and aimed at the two-headed giants outside the city, unleashing waves of powerful destructive light.

The foremost two-headed giant was the first target, and as it was struck by two beams of destructive light at once, it exploded into countless fragments.

The first barrage from the God-slaying cannons killed or injured twenty to thirty giants!

However, the other giants quickly reacted; they bent down, digging their left hands deep into the ground.

The surrounding soil rapidly gathered together, and in an instant, it formed a gigantic shield.

The two-headed giants were using powers to solidify mud into stone!

“Roar~”

One two-headed giant shot upright, letting out a deafening roar as it raised its stone shield to protect itself.

Not only that, the soil beneath its feet seemed to "come to life," creeping up along its legs, and soon enveloping its massive body, solidifying into thick rocky armor!

The defense of these giant monsters dramatically increased!

When the God-slaying cannons on the towers fired again, their effectiveness was vastly different from before.

A beam of destructive light struck the stone shield, blowing a large hole through it before hitting the giant’s body.

But the two-headed giant merely swayed and continued to march forward.

With each step it took, countless bits of soil adhered to its feet, rapidly repairing its damaged rocky armor and shield!

The God-slaying cannons were countered!

Witnessing this scene, the defenders of the city showed grave expressions.

Some even displayed signs of fear in their eyes.

It is crucial to note that the eighty-one God-slaying cannons in Wei Fa City are one of the most important weapons for defending the city. The destructive light they emitted would be something even a Golden Core true master would not dare to confront head-on.

Yet, such a lethal weapon was simply being countered by these giant monsters.

Once they breached Wei Fa City, how many people could escape unscathed?

But despite their fear, no one shrank back or retreated at this moment.

Because Wei Fa City is everyone’s last stronghold, with the teleportation formations rendered unusable, the only hope for survival lies in fighting to the bitter end. Fleeing or breaking through the siege is but a futile dream.

Most importantly, the city still has Master Bai Jun, a higher-level Golden Core cultivator; true despair has not yet arrived!

Crack!

Rumbling thunder echoed above Wei Fa City as vast swathes of dark clouds gathered, unleashing a profound and majestic Magical Energy that swept across the heavens, dispelling the lingering ominous clouds.

The clouds rapidly coalesced and expanded, blanketing Wei Fa City and its surrounding regions in a dense, oppressive shroud.

Torrential rain began to pour!

Raindrops as large as beans pelted the earth, quickly saturating the once-firm soil and transforming it into a muddy quagmire.

The two-headed giants stepped forward, only to find their feet sinking deeply into the mire before they could pull them free.

This severely hindered their movements.

Moreover, the rain seemed to carry a peculiar power, eroding the rocky armor adorning the two-headed giants and the stone shields they wielded.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The God-slaying cannons fired for the third time.

This time, the protective efficacy of the two-headed giants’ stone shields and rocky armor was far weaker than before.

Dozens of giants, along with their shields, were pierced by the beams of destructive light, toppling to the ground in disarray.

Crucially, as the terrain turned into a swamp, the giants’ movements were greatly impeded, allowing the cultivators manning the God-slaying cannons to take careful aim and deliver precise strikes!

Cheers erupted once more as the morale of the city defense cultivators, previously flagging, surged anew.

They held their ground, relentlessly bombarding the army of giants below the city walls, heedless of their dwindling magical energy reserves.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At that moment, a two-headed giant, standing two or three hundred feet from Wei Fa City, swung its arm with all its might, hurling the massive stone club it held.

These stone clubs, each weighing thousands of pounds, tore through the air with a deafening roar, their trajectory aimed squarely at the tower housing the God-slaying cannons.

However, at that very instant, the magical barrier surrounding Wei Fa City flared with intense light, its Defense surging dramatically.

All the incoming stone clubs were deflected before they could reach the tower.

Instead, they crashed outside the city walls, crushing numerous giants beneath their weight!

Witnessing this, the two-headed giants roared in fury, discarding their damaged stone shields and lunging forward onto the ground.

Their massive bodies swiftly sank into the earth, disappearing from sight in moments.

Meanwhile, the battered giant army began to retreat, some dissolving into ominous mist and fleeing into the distance.

Both within and beyond Wei Fa City, an eerie silence fell, as if the ferocious battle moments ago had been nothing more than a fleeting illusion.

The cultivators exchanged uneasy glances.

Yet no one dared to celebrate, for they all sensed that this was far from over.

The most terrifying thing was the unknown!

Just as the cultivators’ hearts began to race, the ground beneath them suddenly trembled violently.

“Look!”

A cultivator shouted in alarm.

A thousand paces ahead of the city gate, the soil layer heaved upward, as if some colossal entity was tunneling rapidly underground, heading straight for Wei Fa City.

In mere seconds, a "earth dragon" over a hundred feet long emerged into view.

It appeared abruptly, charging forward with astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, it collided with the city gate!

Boom!

The impact was cataclysmic; despite the protective formations reinforcing the city gate, it groaned under the strain, its surface denting inward.

The city wall shook violently, and the magical barrier shattered.

In the next moment, an enormous "centipede" burst forth from the ground before the city gate, leaping high above the wall.

The cultivators on the wall stared in stunned silence.

This "centipede" was composed of interwoven two-headed giants, their limbs entangled and their heads grotesquely twisted, their bloodthirsty mouths spewing forth a deluge of venom!
