Seventy zhang!

Sixty zhang!

The distance between the two sides was shrinking. After enduring wave after wave of attacks, the Behemoths finally began their counterattack.

Bang!

With a roar, a fiery-red lizard-shaped Behemoth opened its mouth, unleashing a thick gout of flames like searing lava, covering the distance of several dozen zhang to strike the Tang defense line.

The Burning One!

This was the first Behemoth the Arabian Empire had created that possessed a special ability. The plan to create it had been extremely time-consuming. The Arabian Empire had expended countless resources to feed the Behemoth special herbs, and then gathered more than ten thousand Fire element experts of varying levels of strength to pour Fire element energy into the lizard Behemoth as it grew. After six years of endless nurturing, they had finally succeeded in producing the dauntless Burning One.

Whoosh!

The arrival of this flame was so surprising that the Tang had made no preparations whatsoever. In their minds, the Behemoths relied on their huge bodies and terrifying strength to battle. Thus, the Burning One's fire breath caught them completely off guard. ”Aaaaah!” The shieldmen and infantry screamed as they were set aflame, transformed into large fireballs.

This flame was so scorching that even the steel walls and the shields in the hands of the soldiers turned bright red and began to smoke.

”Careful!”

Panicked voices could be heard all across the defense line, only to be interrupted by another stentorian roar. Another of the four Behemoths, this one in the shape of a white bear, revealed its mouthful of shining white fangs, and suddenly began to charge. In a flash, it had broken away from the rest of the pack.

Forty zhang!

Twenty zhang!

The white bear Behemoth was so fast that even Gao Xianzhi and Cheng Qianli appeared surprised.

”Stop them!” Gao Xianzhi hurriedly called out before rushing out of the defense line. Boom! As he shot forward, he slashed out a dazzling arc of Sword Qi thirty zhang long, aimed at the fiery-red lizard Behemoth.

Whoosh! The Burning One's long gout of fame was immediately cut in two by Gao Xianzhi, the magnificent Sword Qi swiftly extinguishing the flame.

As Protector-General of the Anxi Protectorate army, Gao Xianzhi had reached an extremely high level of skill. The moment he had chosen to strike and the angle were both perfect, and he had used the minimum amount of strength to extinguish the Burning One's flame.

Bang!

At the same time, his deputy Cheng Qianli roared as well, and the Supreme Desolation God stepped over the first defense line, stirring up a storm of dust and sand as it began to charge at the white bear Behemoth.

Whoosh! Before they had even clashed, Cheng Qianli flipped his wrist, sending ten-some chains of Stellar Energy shooting toward the white bear Behemoth, wrapping them around the Behemoth's mouth, limbs, and body.

”Come!” Cheng Qianli bellowed as he collided with the white bear Behemoth. Stellar Energy and dust exploded, the tiny grains of sand transformed into metal pellets by the Stellar Energy.

As Cheng Qianli stepped forward, another enormous figure brushed past him. Wang Chong's father Wang Yan had also entered the fray.

Rumble! At a place thirty-some zhang from the first defense line, the Mighty Miracle God crashed into another Behemoth. The ground between them cracked and groaned, the fissures extending all the way to the first defense line. Eight of the enormous steel walls were immediately jolted out of the ground by the force.

Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, and Wang Yan had all entered the battle.

Roooar! The final Behemoth, a gigantic ape, began to charge at the steel defense line in a cloud of seething dust.

”Careful!”

The area behind the defense line was a scene of panic. In a series of booms, the one thousand ballistae fired at the devilish figure of the Behemoth. But the black ape swept one of its thick and hairy arms through the air, slapping aside at least half of the ballista bolts. As its arm collided with the ballista bolts, it made a metallic clattering.
