Chapter 258: Execution of the Emperor (10,000)(1/6)
He's back again!
Pete's body lying beside the snow pit was shaking!
It was due to excitement. His hands clung to the snow and turned it into a lump of ice!
"That's right...it's him, it's definitely him...but...why does he appear here?"
Peter stared blankly at the figure across the snowy sky.
Two years.
A full two years!
It has been two years since that person appeared, warned, and then disappeared again.
The managers of the underground city had long since given up on searching for this mysterious messenger. As the only survivor of the original No. 5 Observation Station, Peter had already thought that he might never see that person again in this life.
However, how could he have imagined that at this very moment, when the ninth level of humanity was falling, the King of Snow Beasts was about to break through the ninth level, and tens of millions of people in the underground city were facing life and death dangers, that person would actually return again!
If it weren't for the cold that stung his hands, he would have thought he was in a dream.
"He...what is he going to do?"
After the shock, Peter suddenly shuddered and came to his senses. When he saw the figure in the wind and snow pulling out a sword, his whole body trembled.
Could it be...
"No! Don't go!"
Pete shouted in his heart. He opened his mouth, but was filled with cold wind. He wanted to call the man back, but he did not dare to make a sound, for fear of alarming the snow beast and dragging the men behind him to death.
He could only watch in despair as the man got closer and closer to the snow beast realm. He stretched out his hand to stop him, but could only catch a ball of wind.
Peter didn't know why the man came back or why he did what he did, but he knew very well that the power of the Snow Beast King was definitely not something that man could compete with. After all, back then... he didn't even dodge one of his own cannons.
, isn’t it like sending one to death?
However, at this moment, he could only watch this scene, unable to do anything.
…
…
Cheng Lin walked alone on the snowy field.
The earth is pure white. Due to the war, the woods in this area have been destroyed. The frozen soil is pure white like a mirror.
He walked leisurely on the snowfield, passing by the snow-free ice, and his shadow was clearly reflected on the ground.
The "cold-repelling" attribute prevents him from feeling very cold, and a thin piece of clothing is enough for him.
"Sure enough, there are a lot of them."
He looked at the legions of snow beasts that were getting closer and closer not far away, and was amazed.
These creatures, which look like crazy versions of polar bears, are pretty good-looking if you ignore the evil eyes and sharp claws and fangs. At this moment, countless snow beasts gather around to form a huge circle, guarding their king in the center.
If you look down from a high altitude, it looks like a huge whirlpool on the snowfield, with the Beast King in the eye of the wind.
After sitting in the building watching the battle for two years, although he has never really come into contact with it, his understanding of this beast king is not superficial.
The biggest impression it left on Cheng Lin was that he cherished his life.
Or...cautious? Cunning?
Two years ago, he took action for the first time and was wounded by a ninth-level human being. He never showed up again. He just continued to direct his troops to attack. It was enough to show how much he cherished his life. He did not dare to fight, did not want to fight, and would rather fight.
After two years of procrastination, it did not take the lead in the fight. It should be noted that it is a ninth-grade creature. If it really dared to fight with its life, the dungeon might have been destroyed long ago.
However, it was unwilling to take risks and preferred to delay. Perhaps it had already guessed something, so it spent two years consuming the ninth-level human to death. Even so, it endured the thought of killing immediately, and instead ordered
Defense, prepare for breakthrough and promotion.
How cherishing your life is this? And how cautious you are?
It is precisely this that truly plunges mankind into death.
If it was a little more reckless and charged immediately, it would be greeted by a trap that had been prepared for two years. However, it resisted and chose to break through first and then attack.
"It's a pity. If it weren't for this mission, maybe you would have succeeded."
Cheng Lin murmured.
With a slight lift of his right hand, he took out the "He Sword" from the initial space.
The He sword, which was pitch black with a thin red line, looked unattractive. However, holding it in hand, Cheng Lin suddenly felt confident.
Of course, this confidence has nothing to do with He Jian. The real source is the program.
"Then... starts now?"
Cheng Lin smiled and looked forward.
At this time, he finally arrived at the outskirts of the Snow Beast Legion.
The outermost snow beasts are the lowest level, but they are also equivalent to first-level monks. At this moment, they have obviously discovered Cheng Lin's arrival.
"Roar……"
"Roar……"
Countless snow beasts roared at him, making pounces. Their sharp claws plowed several traces on the snow, and a fishy smell spewed out from their mouths, making Cheng Lin couldn't help but frown.
He gently raised his legs and finally stepped into the attacking range of the snow beast in full view of everyone.
So, in an instant.
The first snow beast couldn't help but howl, turned into a white whirlwind, and rushed towards him!
This snow beast was guarding the outermost perimeter and was the lowest rank of miscellaneous soldiers. Cheng Lin could handle it without resorting to any external force.
The second-grade superpower body control is activated.
Cheng Lin's body suddenly twisted, and the He sword in his hand thrust out in a tricky trajectory.
"puff!"
Although the He sword was extremely damaged, it was an immortal weapon after all.
Even if he loses most of his abilities, he is still able to stand out from the crowd just by virtue of his sharpness.
The dark sword tip easily sliced open the snow beast's abdomen, cutting it open completely. Blood and organs were flying, and the snow beast suddenly lost its energy and fell into the wind and snow.
"The first one."
Cheng Lin said softly.
Before he could rest, swish, swish...several more white shadows flew towards him.
Guarding is their duty. For this human who dares to offend the king, they have no fear, only the intention to kill.
Puff puff…!
Cheng Lin, who was at the peak of the second level, fought against these guys with the incomparable sharpness of the He Sword, almost as if he was chopping melons and vegetables. Soon, there was a layer of corpses piled around his body.
This scene should be inspiring.
However, neither Pitt, who was nearby, nor General Catroux, who was watching the battle through a telescope further away, felt excited.
…
Fortress No. 5.
Catlu stood in front of the observation platform, and through the lens, he could see the black shadows slashing the snow beasts in the wind and snow.
As an eighth-level powerhouse, Catlu's eyesight is quite good.
He immediately realized that the figure's cultivation level was not high.
"It's only at the third level at most, definitely not in the middle level!"
The fighting styles and methods of practitioners of different levels will be very different. Ordinary people can't see it, so how can Catlu not see it?
"His weapons are very sharp and his movement skills are very good, but...it's not enough at all! He is just going to die!"
Catlu clenched his right hand into a fist and punched the cold cave next to him.
The vague expectation in my heart disappeared.
He looked away with a wry smile on his face.
"What's wrong with me? Why do I expect so much from him?"
He shook his head, feeling frustrated by the absurd thoughts in his mind.
Turning around, he looked at the entire fortress.
His order has been faithfully conveyed. The soldiers did not know the decision made by the council and the city lord, nor did they know the existence of the capping plan. They just fulfilled the order faithfully and began to retreat in an orderly manner. Through the window, Catlu discovered
Many soldiers had a look of relief on their faces.
Yes, they felt lucky to have retreated. After all, no one wanted to face a ninth-level or even higher Snow Beast King.
There were also a few soldiers who looked confused, and some generals even came over and knocked on the door, questioning Catlu's decision.
