Chapter 958 – Creation and Destruction With A Single Thought! (1/2)

At the same time that Seng Yuan started to attack the city gates, the Python Clan and Welkin Wolf Clan had started attacking as well.

At this moment, Ocean of Clouds City was facing a siege from 3 directions.

Yu Wushuang arranged for Chen Dong to lead the experts from the Ancient Sword School and a portion of the cultivators of the city to defend the northern gate, the Dao Order to do the same and defend the western gate, and the forces of the academy and the remaining forces of the city to defend the main gates and face the Steel Ape Clan. Yu Wushuang didn’t abandon the eastern gates as well, and she ordered a portion of the experts from the Dao Order, academy, and Ancient Sword School to split off from the main groups and defend the eastern gates.

…

The main gate of Ocean of Cloud City.

Bang! Bang!

The city gates and walls were trembling violently without end before Seng Yuan’s frenzied attacks.

Yu Wushuang and the others naturally didn’t allow Seng Yuan to just continue attacking the city, and countless experts on the city walls executed powerful techniques against Seng Yuan.

However, despair arose within them.

Because even Saint Rank techniques were of no effect to Seng Yuan. As for techniques beneath the Saint Rank, they were like attacks that could merely scratch an itch for Seng Yuan!

It wasn’t just the cultivators of the city who revealed expressions of despair upon witnessing such a scene, even some of the students from the academy were the same.

They were filled with fear!

Fear had arisen in the depths of their hearts. It was fear towards the man in beast skin, Seng Yuan!

“Can anyone stop him?”

“Even Senior Yunhai perished at his hands. So can anyone? There’s no one left. No one can….”

“He’s simply impossible to defeat. If the city is breached, then only a fate of being slaughtered awaits us. We can’t stay here anymore….”

“You intend to flee? Forget such thoughts. The city has always been surrounded by the mountains of Welkin Wolf Mountain Range. Now that we’re in a life and death battle and coupled with the fact that the wolves hate us humans, so long as you leave the city and they smell you, then I guarantee that you’ll immediately suffer pursuit from thousands of wolves!”

“Then what do you think we should do? That fellow’s physical defenses are simply heaven defying, and he’s practically immune to all our attacks. What can we do? Once the city is breached, what else can we do but wait for death to arrive?”

“That may not necessarily be the case. Haven’t all of you forgotten someone?”

“Who?”

“Instructor Ye!”

Deathly silence suddenly swept throughout the area above the city wall.

It didn’t take long for someone to speak, “Instructor Ye’s strength isn’t bad. But… but there’s a really huge gap of strength between him and Senior Yunhai, right? Even Senior Yunhai wasn’t a match for that fellow, so wouldn’t Instructor Ye be coming to give his life away if he tried to fight that fellow?”

“Who told you that Instructor Ye is inferior to Shangguan Yunhai? Did Instructor Ye tell you that? Or did Shangguan Yunhai? Or perhaps you watched them fight?”

“That…. That….”

“Just think about it. Instructor Ye a.s.sumed the position of instructor in the academy at such a young age. Would the dean have allowed him to be an instructor if he didn’t possess some ability? Moreover, I think that Instructor Ye definitely concealed his strength. Perhaps he’s actually a high rank Half-Saint, and he just kept it from us!”

“I think so too. Instructor Ye’s background is mysterious, and his strength is the same as well. There have been many occasions where he was suddenly able to kill his opponent. He definitely possesses some sort of formidable trump card. Or perhaps he has been concealing his true strength since the very beginning!”

“Right, I agree. Perhaps Instructor Ye is actually a high rank Half-Saint, but he concealed his strength for some reason. In my opinion, Instructor Ye wouldn’t be weaker than Shangguan Yunhai at all if he used his full strength!”

“That makes sense. Instructor Ye killed numerous high rank Half-Saints with a cultivation at the Monarch Realm. How terrifying would he be if he used his full strength? He might even be able to fight Saints, right?”

It didn’t take long for word of Yang Ye’s ability to grow as it spread amongst them, and it was even to the extent that they said Yang Ye had fought Saints in the past.

Shang Qingying spoke with bewilderment as she watched them grow more and more excited, “Have they gone mad?”

Yu Wushuang explained, “Shangguan Yunhai’s defeat completely destroyed any hopes they held in their hearts, and it caused them to have no one to entrust their hopes onto. At this moment, they are like drowning people, and Yang Ye is that straw. They are grabbing onto the straw now, and even if they know that it might just be a piece of straw, they are still doing all they can to imagine that it’s a s.h.i.+p!”

Shang Qingying spoke softly, “How sad!”

Yu Wushuang laughed coldly, “Aren’t we the same? Instructor Shang, don’t tell me that you haven’t entrusted any hope on Yang Ye.”

Shang Qingying was speechless.
