The Legend of the Dragon King

Under the command of some especially powerful abyssal creatures, these terrifying creatures unleashed an icy cold aura. They were fearless and felt no pain. They pressed forward with indomitable will. Soon after, they turned into a gray airflow which drifted under the artillery fire.

By the time Guo Zhenfeng made his way to the frontline and fought against these abyssal creatures, he finally understood why the earlier defense lines failed to resist them.

The abyssal creatures were reckless. They were just charging forward wildly regardless of the risks and dangers.

Guo Zhenfeng looked slightly pale as he stood on a mountain peak. A set of tattered red mecha was healing itself not far away from where he stood.

He had already launched a few attacks. Each time, he would attack the opposing side’s leader to slow down the opponents.

His red mecha was well-recognized by the soldiers of the entire Northern Army Corps because it was the number one mecha in the Northern Army Corps known as the Greenpeak War God.

Hence, the Northern Army Corps was high-spirited each time he was on the battlefield. He would push back the enemy repeatedly.

Time passed. The war had been going on for two days since it first began. A man needed rest, unlike a machine. However, the three defense lines had fallen, so there was utterly no time to rest now! Without any rest, they would probably suffer from the destructive attacks.

Everyone was fatigued. Most of the military-grade stimulants were used up and its side-effects had begun to appear as well. The fourth defense line had already been breached. If this continued, the defense line would last, at most, for another three hours.

“Where’s the reinforcement? Why isn’t the reinforcement here yet?” Guo Zhenfeng roared in rage at the soul communicator in his hand.

“Regimental commander, the reinforcement is already on the way, but the journey is long. According to the best estimate, the first batch of reinforcements are arriving in about four hours.”

Guo Zhenfeng inhaled a deep breath in an attempt to calm his emotions. He spoke in a deep voice, “Alright, duly noted.”

He was well aware that being furious would not change the current situation. Thule was too far away. The Federation had done its best to send the reinforcements in such a short time. Four hours, huh?

The corners of Guo Zhenfeng’s lips cracked into a bitter smile. He only hoped that the reinforcements were powerful enough to guard the defense lines.

In the meantime, he spared no effort to withstand the attacks to buy time so that the reinforcements could make it even if it meant the loss of the entire Northern Army Corps.

He returned to his mecha and patted the Greenpeak War God which had followed him over the years. It was forged by his clan at a high price when he was promoted to lieutenant general.

“Old mate, rest and recuperate. I’m going to the field.” Upon saying that, a radiance flickered in his eyes as a powerful aura burst forth from his body.

He raised his right hand and conjured an axe as large as a cart’s wheel in his hand.

The long-handled axe was over six meters in length. The bit of the axe was a semicircle that looked like half a cartwheel. Its diameter was over one point five meters, and it was incredibly thick and heavy.

It was his powerful tool soul, the Blight!

Guo Zhenfeng shouted aloud and leaped into the air as he headed straight toward the newly-opened breach. Over a hundred mechas flew out and followed behind. The mechas were at least purple rank and above. They were from his guard battalions and were mostly elite mecha masters.

A large number of the abyssal creatures looked like cockroaches and ants. There were some which looked like praying mantises, and they were the more powerful ones in the attacks.

From his observations, Guo Zhenfeng discovered that the more human the abyssal creatures appeared to be, the more powerful their fighting abilities were.

Out of the blue, he noticed an abyssal creature with a burly figure akin to a hill.

A radiance flickered for a moment on the Blight Mountain Axe in his hand. In the next instant, the gigantic axe landed on the creature as if it was separating heaven and earth.

“Blight Cut!” He unleashed his first soul skill.

Although it was his first soul skill, it was precisely the core soul skill of Gui Zhenfeng’s Blight Mountain Axe.

His situation was quite different from the vast majority of the soul masters. The Blight Mountain Axe only had three attack soul skills. The other remaining soul skills were to enhance the attacking ability of the three soul skills.

It was the classic battle make-up of a soldier. There was no need for too many types of soul skills. It was more crucial for them to directly kill the enemy in the simplest manner.

Blight Cut was one such powerful attack-type soul skill. It truly had the ability to split a mountain into two.

The pudgy hill-like abyssal creature suddenly raised its head. Its chubby flesh shook and emitted huge puffs of foul-smelling aura. It let out a raging roar at Guo Zhengeng. Its two strong, thick arms slapped toward him.

“Poof, poof!” Its arms broke. Guo Zhenfeng’s giant axe split the abyssal creature into two instantly and turned it into a thick, gray airflow which floated skyward. Soon after, he swung the giant axe left and right. A large crowd of the abyssal creatures turned into a gray mist which dispersed with a terrifying radiance. As a result, there was much relief on his side.

“Hold it! Block the breach!” As he spoke, Guo Zhenfeng led the way with the Blight Mountain Axe in his hand to become the tip of the formation. He advanced with long strides and blazed his way through the obstacles!

The breach was at an important mountain peak which was about three hundred meters in height. The location allowed the soldiers to have a bird’s eye view over the entire scene. It formed a connecting link with the surrounding mountain peaks.

Furthermore, the important defense and detection soul devices were placed there. Losing the site was akin to losing the eyes and outpost of the fourth defense line. Hence, Guo Zhenfeng hoped that they could sustain longer and tried to seize back the location regardless.

Guo Zhenfeng could not afford to stop at this moment. He led his men to charge forward and strived for some extra time before the arrival of the reinforcement.

Meanwhile, a familiar shattering sound was heard coming from his back.

Guo Zhenfeng turned around abruptly. He saw an illusory silhouette pass swiftly. A ball of fiery light exploded after a shattering sound was heard. A purple mecha had exploded.

“F*ck!” At a glance, Guo Zhenfeng recognized the exploded purple mecha as a young man whom he valued highly. He was a member of the guard battalion! Usually, Guo Zhenfeng would meet this person every day.

Guo Zhenfeng’s eyes reddened. He swung the Blight Mountain Axe in his hand. It transformed into large stretches of light blades which covered the entire area.

Over a hundred abyssal creatures turned into gray mist amidst the blade shadows. However, he felt a gush of coldness radiating from the side of his body at the moment.

Guo Zhenfeng dodged subconsciously. He avoided facing the entity on his side with great effort. Nevertheless, the opponent moved so swiftly that his shirt was chafed off.

A silhouette was revealed soon after.

The silhouette took the form of a woman with curvy features which looked exaggerated. There were a few obvious features of the silhouette which made it different from a human.

Before he could see it clearly, the silhouette had vanished once again.

Guo Zhenfeng swung the Blight Mountain Axe in his hand to the side, but it hit nothing.

If Tang Wulin were here, he would certainly recognize the creature which had just attacked Guo Zhenfeng. It was precisely the Mo Mei. It was an extremely powerful high-rank abyssal creature which was skilled in disguising itself and charmed its prey before killing it.

Meanwhile, sharp howls were heard. The defense line near the mountain peak was broken. A large fiery light exploded. The abyssal creatures that made their way to the mountain peak were blasted into nothingness instantly in the huge explosion.

“F*ck!” Guo Zhenfeng scolded in rage. His eyes were reddened in grief.

He knew that the explosion came from the Northern Army Corps’ soldiers who sacrificed themselves to take their enemies down with them knowing that they had failed to stop the enemies! They did not manage to hold the line until he could make his way there.

“Fall back!” Guo Zhenfeng shouted aloud. The Blight Mountain Axe was swung in reverse. He led the numerous mechas, making a killing along the way to the outside.

He did not fly since that would make him a target. Moreover, he wanted to kill more abyssal creatures, so he could make more time for his comrades.

A Title Douluo with a soul core was capable of sustaining his fighting capacity way longer than ordinary people.

Meanwhile, a ghastly laughter was heard.
