Chapter 83 Desperate Situation
"Kill!!"

"Roar!!!"

"boom!!!"

Shouts of battle, roars of beasts, cries of agony, and explosions mingled together, plunging the entire city into the flames of war. Between the darkness and the light, countless lives were lost.

"Boom!"

Under the leadership of the king and the spirit masters, the various spirit beast legions collided with the surging beast tide, and high-level spirit masters took to the air to unleash various secret techniques to bombard the enemy's rear.

"Fifth-order monarch species?"

"Are all the leaders of these spirit beast legions fifth-tier monarch-level beings?"

"Is this the backup plan left by Li Taiyi?"

"So many fifth-tier monarchs were definitely not just subdued."

"The rumors are true; this person truly possesses the secret method for cultivating king-level spirit beasts."

"Now that he is not here, all that is left are these king-level spirit beasts. Without a matching spirit master to assist them, they are nothing more than fish on a chopping board."

"Kill! First, take down these kings, then slaughter all the spirit beasts under their command. Their flesh and blood will help us grow stronger."

"This trip was worthwhile, this trip was worthwhile, hahaha!"

Shen Tu Lang's move caused a chain reaction. Countless Monarch-level Spirit Masters emerged from the darkness, their eyes gleaming and their killing intent surging as they looked at the spirit beast legion that was fighting desperately under the command of several Monarchs.

Meanwhile, Chen Luojun and Zhang Xuanming were also besieged by Shen Tulang and several other Monarch-level Spirit Masters.

The Wu Kingdom was established in its early years, only a little over eighty years ago. Although it had accumulated a great deal of wealth and resources through various exotic goods and edible spirit beasts, and had also established a Spirit Master Academy to select talents, it still had a fatal flaw: the time was too short and the accumulation was too thin.

The first four tiers are alright; they can be built up with resources. As long as there are enough resources, even a stupid beast like the Sand Lion can advance to the fourth tier of the Spirit level.

However, reaching the fifth tier, the Monarch-level Spirit Master, cannot be achieved simply by accumulating resources; considerable talent is also required.

Therefore, in the more than eighty years since the establishment of the Wu Kingdom, there have only been two monarch-level spirit masters: the leaders of the civil and military factions, Zhang Xuanming, the Left Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and Chen Luojun, the Martial Spirit General.

This is the result as seen by outsiders. In fact, the Wu Kingdom only has one true monarch-level spirit master, and that is Zhang Xuanming.

As for Chen Luojun...

"what!!!"

Chen Luojun roared, his body radiating golden light. No spirit beasts came to his aid; he only channeled his martial arts essence and unleashed the Dragon Subduing Palm technique, blasting out dozens of dragon shadows. He fiercely fought against Shen Tulang and the other three Monarch-level Spirit Masters, as well as four fifth-tier spirit beasts.

"This is……"

"Spirit Fusion Battle Technique, that Spirit Fusion Battle Technique of Li Taiyi!"

"This person has truly mastered its teachings!"

"If we can extract this combat technique from him, its value will be far more than hundreds of millions of spirit crystals."

"Capture him alive!"

Unlike Shen Tu Lang, the other kings, upon seeing this, all had a gleam in their eyes and were already thinking of capturing him alive.

More than eighty years have passed, and many things are no longer secrets. The secret combat techniques of the Wu Kingdom, known as martial arts, have always been coveted by all sides. Now that the opportunity has come, everyone is eager to seize it.

Within the Wu Kingdom, who possesses the highest martial arts skills after Li Taiyi?
This is none other than General Chen Luojun of the Martial Spirit.

Several Lord-level Spirit Masters surrounded him, holding back their attacks, intending to capture him alive. Only Shen Tu Lang remained unchanged, serving as the main attacker, his every move ruthless and deadly.

This put immense pressure on Chen Luojun. Although his Dragon Subduing Palm technique was powerful, it was no match for the three Spirit Masters and the four Kings, and he had already fallen into a disadvantageous position. However, he was like a cornered beast fighting back.

On the other side, Zhang Xuanming's situation was even worse. The several Monarch-level Spirit Masters who were besieging him were holding nothing back. If it weren't for the Wind and Thunder Eagle King and several spirit beasts fighting to the death to protect him, he would have been defeated and killed long ago.

In the more than eighty years since the founding of the Martial Kingdom, only he has emerged as a prodigy in spirit control, reaching the Monarch level. As for Chen Luojun, he is not a Monarch-level spirit control master at all, but a martial arts cultivator who also practices spirit control, and he is only at the fourth level. It is only because his Xingyi Quan skills are so powerful that he has been given combat strength comparable to the fifth level that he is regarded as a Monarch-level spirit control master by outsiders.

In other words, he is the only one in Wudu who has the ability to contract a fifth-tier spirit beast.

Although Wudu lacks spirit beasts, even fifth-tier monarch-type spirit beasts, it lacks spirit masters. He can only contract ten at most, of which only five are monarch-type. Compared to regular spirit masters, he can be considered a prodigy.

but……

This is no ordinary battle. Several Monarch-level Spirit Masters and their Monarch-level Spirit Beasts are launching a heavy attack, forcing him to retreat steadily. Soon, he finds himself in a disadvantageous position, just like Chen Luojun.

"Boom!"

If the two key figures in the team are like this, then the rest of the team are even more so.

Faced with the overwhelming onslaught of the Monarch-level Spirit Masters and their spirit beasts, as well as the vast beast tide, Wudu quickly fell into the flames of war. The front lines retreated steadily, and the battle lines were pushed back continuously, eventually invading the city.

"Hahaha!"

A Lord-level Spirit Master laughed loudly, releasing his spirit beasts to wreak havoc, destroy, and plunder throughout the city, before charging towards the Martial Capital Palace.

This is a rare opportunity.

The Wu Kingdom is incredibly wealthy. While it may not be as rich as the three great kingdoms, it is still a behemoth. Even for a monarch-level spirit master, it is a rare find. Now that the opportunity has presented itself, it is only natural that they will do their utmost to plunder it.

"what!!!"

Seeing the battle turn into a rout and Wudu burning down, Chen Luojun's eyes turned bloodshot, and he was determined to die. His true energy surged, revealing a terrifying aura.

"not good!"

"He's going to destroy everyone!"

"Keep him under control, capture him alive no matter what!"

"Wood Spirit Secret Technique - Eternal Soaring Dragon!"

Seeing this, the kings did not back down at all. They directly activated the Spirit Control Secret Technique and the Spirit Beast Battle Skill. The power of water and wood spirits was mysteriously released, binding his body tightly and even suppressing his martial arts true essence.

Although he was a martial arts prodigy, his growth was ultimately limited. He failed to subdue dragons and tigers and reach the pinnacle of Xingyi Quan. Without the support of a professional power, he was simply outmatched by a fifth-tier monarch with only fourth-tier Yuan Gong.

"Chen Luojun!"

Seeing Chen Luojun bound, Zhang Xuanming was also shocked. In the midst of the chaos, his opponent seized the opportunity and struck him with a Golden Spirit Secret Technique. Although he had Spirit Control Armor and Spirit Fusion Secret Technique, he was still severely injured and fell from the sky.

"boom!!!"

He crashed to the ground with a thud, falling into the dust. Feeling the depleted spiritual energy and the pain of his injuries, Zhang Xuanming gritted his teeth and tried to prop himself up, but that was all he could do.

Looking up, one sees flames of war raging, with fires soaring into the sky in the darkness, threatening to engulf the most prosperous capital of the Martial Kingdom in the Eastern Continent.

Is it really the end?
Zhang Xuanming clenched his fists, watching the spirit beast descend from the sky and pounce on him. He felt a surge of resentment mixed with a sense of powerlessness.

"Die!"

The words of coercion descended from the sky.

But I don’t want to…

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar, as if space itself had shattered, shook the heavens and earth.

High in the sky, in the darkness, a golden light suddenly appeared, piercing through the clouds and breaking through the sky.
