Chapter 7 Facing the Lord of Heaven and Earth

Despite the Heavenly Crystal Beast's worried reminder, Wu Yi remained calm.

"Hmm." He responded simply, "The Lord of Heaven and Earth Alliance is coming soon with a demonic beast."

The Heavenly Crystal Egg immediately vibrated a few times.

"But don't worry," Wu Yi continued, "I've made all the preparations. You just need to focus on incubating it, and leave the rest to me."

"...City Lord, you seem different from before," the Heavenly Crystal Beast said hesitantly.

"What's different?"

"I can't quite put my finger on it." The Celestial Crystal Beast thought for a moment, "It's just that I feel the previous city lord, although very strong, wasn't quite as... how should I put it..."

"Confidence?" Wu Yi added.

"Yes, yes, that's confidence!" The Celestial Crystal Beast's voice carried a hint of doubt. "City Lord, aren't you afraid?"

Wu Yi did not answer directly, but instead reached out and gently touched the Heavenly Crystal Egg.

"Just focus on hatching, and you'll see the results when you emerge."

After saying that, Wu Yi turned and walked out of the Nuwa Temple.

Outside the Nuwa Temple.

Jingxie and Shenwu are already waiting.

Jingxie remained as lazy as ever, lying on the steps basking in the sun, its huge pincers opening and closing occasionally, producing a crisp metallic clanging sound.

Shenwu perched on the railing, preening her golden feathers with her beak.

Wu Yi's gaze swept over the two divine beasts, his steps never faltering.

"Let's go, let's go up to the city wall."

Jingxie slowly got up and followed Wu Yi with heavy steps; Shenwu gently spread her wings and landed on Wu Yi's shoulder.

On the city wall, the soldiers were also on high alert.

The archers stood in formation, the spearmen gripped their weapons tightly, and all their eyes were fixed on the distant horizon.

Wu Yi climbed the city wall and stood at the highest point.

The divine dance rested on his left shoulder.

Jingxie lay on the ground of the city tower, his eyes half-closed as he gazed at the distant horizon, looking as if he were sunbathing or waiting for something.

The morning breeze stirred Wu Yi's cloak, making it flutter loudly.

"father!"

Footsteps came from behind.

Wu Yi turned around and saw that Nangong Wentian had run up to him at some point, his little face full of nervousness.

"Father, I heard from the soldiers that the Lord of Heaven and Earth Alliance is coming?"

Wu Yi nodded.

Nangong Wentian clenched his fists. "Father, I want to fight too! I want to protect Nangong Cheng and my sister!"

Wu Yi looked at his adopted son in front of him.

This child, who shouldered everything in the original story, grew up all the way, and finally defeated the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, is still just a young boy full of passion at this moment.

"it is good."

Wu Yi didn't say anything like "You're still too young," but instead reached out and patted Nangong Wentian on the shoulder, "Then your father will give you a task."

Nangong Wentian's eyes immediately lit up. "What mission?"

"Protect your sister."

"...Huh?" Nangong Wentian's face immediately fell. "What kind of mission is this...?"

"This is more important than the battle." Wu Yi said seriously, "The leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance's target is Nangong City. Father has to block him in front and can't take care of you."

"Although your sister has the power of purification, she is too young and needs someone to protect her. This difficult task can only be entrusted to you, her older brother."

Nangong Wentian remained silent for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"Father, don't worry! I will definitely protect my sister!"

"Okay, go ahead."

Nangong Wentian turned and ran down the city wall, his back view revealing a resoluteness beyond his years.

Wu Yi withdrew his gaze and looked back at the distant sky.

"Your son is quite courageous; he wasn't afraid at all when he heard the name of the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader," Jingxie's lazy voice rang out.

"Like his father," Shenwu added.

Wu Yi did not respond.

I don't know how to respond to that.

One of the main reasons he didn't want Nangong Wentian to stay was that he didn't know how to get along with this adopted son.

Something feels off.

……

Time passed little by little.

The sun gradually shifts westward from its zenith.

No one spoke on the city wall; only the sound of the wind blowing through the flags could be heard.

All the soldiers were on edge, their eyes fixed on the distant horizon.

at last.

As dusk fell, a dark cloud appeared on the horizon.

No, that's not a dark cloud.

That was an army!

A large flag flutters in the wind.

The flag bears three large characters: Heaven and Earth Alliance!

Compared to the animations Wu Yi remembered, the invasion of the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader was noticeably more oppressive.

A dark mass of monsters swept in, engulfing the land like night gradually falling.

Among those magical beasts, some resembled birds of prey, while others resembled beasts, but without exception, each one was surrounded by demonic energy and had a ferocious appearance.

At the very front of that dark cloud, a huge tiger was walking on air.

Its entire body is covered with striking orange fur, streaked with sharp purple stripes, and a pair of terrifying fangs protrude from its huge mouth, making one's neck tremble at the sight.

Its most unique feature is the pair of large wings on its back, which help it fly through the air and look down on the earth with a kingly posture.

This is the mount of the Lord of Heaven and Earth Alliance—the Demonized Tiger.

Once transformed, it becomes the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul.

Riding on the back of the tiger was the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance himself.

A tall figure clad in yellow armor stood atop a tiger's back, arms crossed, his gaze sweeping down at Nangong City with disdain.

Having already captured three major cities in the Jade Dragon Kingdom, Nangong City was not even worth his attention.

Even the so-called number one swordsman of the Jade Dragon Kingdom, Nangong Yi, could only slightly arouse his interest.

"Enemy attack—"

The sound of horns from the city wall suddenly rang out, breaking the silence of dusk.

"Archers, prepare!"

Although the soldiers of Nangong City were facing an overwhelming army of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, not one of them showed any fear.

They are all elites trained by the Nangong family for generations, and protecting this city is a mission ingrained in their bones.

The leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance commanded a fierce tiger to descend a hundred feet above Nangong City, looking down at Wu Yi on the city tower.

"Nangong Yi." His voice, like muffled thunder, rolled down from the sky, "Hand over Nangong Cheng, and I may spare your life."

Wu Yi did not answer.

He simply drew the Dragon Soaring Sword from his waist.

This action is the best answer.

The leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance's voice turned cold.

"They're courting death, since that's the case..."

He raised his hand and waved it toward the army behind him.

"Raze Nangong City to the ground!"

In an instant, countless demonic beasts poured down upon Nangong City like a torrent.

"Release the arrows!"

On the city wall, a barrage of arrows was unleashed.

A dense rain of arrows shot towards the horde of monsters.

However, these creatures, which were transformed from former divine beasts, knew nothing of fear. As those in front fell after being struck by arrows, those behind immediately filled their place, one after another, in an endless stream.

In the first wave of attack, many magical beasts broke through the rain of arrows and rushed towards the city wall.
