Chapter 1047: Who says a shield can't kill
This bloodline from the Ocean King Wheel has belonged to Shengyuan since the start.
As a continuous bloodline, the Intermediate Mountain Roar could greatly increase his stats, especially strength, defense, and regeneration. The extent of the increase was shocking.
For a defense user, this was the most suitable bloodline.
In the mutated lifeform siege, Shengyuan was the top protector, and he was at the front most of the time. However, his injuries were less severe than others. Moreover, his recovery was surprisingly quick, and he fully recovered in two days.
After activating the bloodline, Shengyuan’s body quality was comparable to that of Ye Zhongming.
Giant Shielder, along with Intermediate Mountain Roar, was a perfect match.
With the bloodline activation, Shengyuan raised his shield, and a row of orderly shield shadows appeared before him. Not only did he protect Park Xiuying, but he even protected half of the temporary hospital.
Feather Warrior Squad’s cavaliers tossed their spears and then the fist-sized metal pieces hanging on the spirit eagles’ bodies. Using the height and momentum, the metal pieces were as much of a threat as the other weapons.
Hitting sounds continued. When they hit Shengyuan’s shield shadows, these attacks made giant sounds, but none could break through the defenses.
At the same time, hundreds of Cloud Peak soldiers appeared beside Shengyuan. They aimed their crystal weapons at the air cavaliers who were focusing on Shengyuan. Dozens of enemies fell from the spirit eagles.
The Feather Warrior Squad’s formation started to scatter. They split into groups of two hundred to charge at Cloud Peak’s ranged squad.
“Others, cross. Leave this beast to me!”
As the leader of this squad, Zhong Ao gave his order. He wanted to fight Shengyuan by himself and let his other subordinates attack that strong healer.
The air cavaliers who were on the way raised their height and crossed Shengyuan’s shield shadows to charge at Park Xiuying, who was at the back.
Shengyuan stood there and didn’t move. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to but because his bloodline had a weakness. It wasn’t good at quick movement.
He could dash, but his speed would slow, and he wouldn’t be able to catch up to the air cavaliers.
This was the eagle’s special attack method. Apart from its sharp beak and claws, this cry could affect the enemy’s mind and cause them to be distracted.
To an evolved, this state wouldn’t last for long, but this short time was enough to decide the battle's outcome.
Of course, not all spirit eagles knew this skill; only the captain-level mounts could.
When Zhong Ao came into contact, he felt the resistance reduce and knew that his move had succeeded. The swords slashed the shield, and the eagle flapped to regain height. After he passed the giant shield, the new attack would be launched. His swords would slice that person’s head.
Everything succeeded... Except for the final move.
The swords slashed past the shields, but they missed.
Zhong Ao looked down and saw that three-meter-tall monster squatting there. Apart from his hands holding the shield handle, he was in a ball.
Zhong Ao saw the weird smile on the beast’s face.
The shield knocked upward and hit the eagle's stomach. The huge power caused it to cry, and its eyes started to bleed. The eagle flapped its wings to fly upward.
Zhong Ao panicked and also instinctively told the spirit eagle to fly higher.
But Shengyuan wouldn’t let him go. He shouted and grabbed the shield with his hands. He spun a few rounds on the spot and tossed the shield like a shotput, which hit the unstable eagle.
This demon monster couldn’t take such a heavy hit and fell from the sky. Zhong Ao tried to control his body and managed to land on the ground. This height wasn’t much for an evolved at his level.
But in the next second, he felt a giant figure dive toward him and pounce on him. A pair of strong hands grabbed his neck and sunk into his flesh before pulling him backward.
Half of Zhong Ao’s neck with his throat bone left his body.
Even in death, he didn’t understand how this monster could defeat him.
