1690 The key to improving strength (1)

Compared to the life-and-death battles between cultivators, this siege battle was undoubtedly more brutal and could be called a bloody millstone.

If it were not for the fact that the trial-takers ‘bodies would disappear after they were eliminated, there would have been a mountain of corpses below the city wall.

Looking at the white light appearing one after another around them, the trial-takers felt very uncomfortable, as if they had not experienced such a sullen feeling for a long time.

Under normal circumstances, any one of these cultivators could easily slaughter the entire city.

The reason why transcendent cultivators were able to move unhindered in all planes was because of their powerful combat power, and their opponents had never been ordinary people.

It could be said that all those below transcendent were ants that were usually disdained.

But in the trial of fate, they were nothing special. Even an ordinary city guard could easily kill them.

Under such circumstances, it would be as difficult as ascending the heavens to take over a city with the advantage of numbers.

The trial of fate had set up these light cards that seemed to make things difficult. Perhaps it was to wear down the arrogance of cultivators and let them know that the process of the son of fate carrying out a mission was not to rely on violence to crush them, but to break through all kinds of hardships and finally conquer the world.

Tenacity and foresight were perhaps the qualities that the Wheel of Destiny appreciated the most.

Only those who could endure the cycle of loneliness, adapt to the predicament of having their strength sealed, and survive, were qualified to become the child of fate.

Tang Zhen was currently an outsider and did not have the right to comment on whether the trial of fate was right or wrong. He only felt a slight headache.

At this moment, his shield was already full of arrows, and his body had also been shot by a few arrows. Although he had rushed to the bottom of the city, he was unable to climb up the city wall.

A sector Lord who could travel through the void at will couldn’t even cross the 100 foot wall. This feeling was really frustrating.

He had no choice but to pick up the spear on the ground and throw it at the top of the city wall.

No matter what, he had to think of a way to kill the enemy. Otherwise, Tang Zhen would really be dumbfounded if he was eliminated.

The spear seemed to fly up the city wall slowly, but its power was not to be underestimated.

One of the city guards was struck by a long spear. The spearhead pierced through his body, and he fell down from the top of the city wall without a word.

At the moment when he killed the soldier, Tang Zhen suddenly felt an additional trace of strength within his body. It was as if the strength that he had sealed had also recovered a little.

“What’s going on?”

Tang Zhen was stunned for a moment before his spirit was jolted.

He didn’t expect that killing enemies would have such a benefit. Did it mean that the more enemies he killed, the faster his strength would recover?

If he killed thousands of his enemies, would he be able to regain his extraordinary power?

He didn’t ask for much. As long as he recovered to the first or second rank, Tang Zhen’s fighting strength would be able to increase by more than ten times.

After realizing this point, Tang Zhen did not hesitate at all. He went forward and picked up the bull horn bow that had fallen on the corpse. At the same time, he pulled the sharp arrow from his shield.

Tang Zhen drew his bow and nocked an arrow. His arms continuously opened and closed as armor-piercing arrows continuously shot toward the city wall.

With every arrow that was shot out, an enemy would fall to the ground. The strength in Tang Zhen’s body also became more and more dense.

Tang Zhen’s eyes brightened. The fatigue in his body disappeared without a trace. The speed of his attacks also became increasingly faster.

As expected, the trial of fate would not set up an unsolvable obstacle. The key to breaking out of this situation was to kill the city guards and increase their strength.

This secret wasn’t difficult to learn. Tang Zhen wasn’t the only one who noticed the abnormality. After the other trial-takers successively killed the city guards, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.

They all used their own methods to kill the city guards. Even the high city walls could not stop the trial-takers ‘attacks.

Although they were getting more and more benefits, no one dared to speak about it. They were all trying their best to improve their strength, wanting to make a fortune in silence.

Tang Zhen’s killing speed was too fast. A region on the city wall had actually been cleared by him, and not a single enemy dared to show their faces.

Soon, more than a dozen archers aimed at him, and sharp arrows were shot one after another. Stones were also flying in the air.

“Bang Bang Bang!”

A robust figure suddenly appeared. He held a hard wood shield in his hand and blocked the continuous attacks for Tang Zhen.

This person was iron head who had just charged over. He had just been separated from Tang Zhen and it was unknown how he had found Tang Zhen in the chaotic battlefield.

At this moment, there were already five or six sharp arrows stuck in his body. If it wasn’t for his armor, he would have already died.

killing enemies can restore my strength.

Tang Zhen shouted at iron head in a low voice and took advantage of the situation to counterattack, successfully killing several archers on the city wall.

After iron head heard Tang Zhen’s reminder, he immediately roared and picked up a stone from the ground. He swung his arm and threw it at the top of the city wall.

“Pa!”

One of the city guards did not manage to Dodge in time and was hit in the head by a pot-sized stone. His face was instantly smashed into pieces.

“It’s effective!”

Iron head roared excitedly, the gloominess on his face swept away. Relying on his monstrous strength, he threw whatever he picked up.

He had killed quite a number of city guards, and he was getting more and more excited.

As the battle continued, more and more trial-takers discovered the secret. Under their frenzied killing, the strength of the camp also increased rapidly.

On the city wall that seemed impossible to climb, there were already trial-takers using tools like daggers to swim up like geckoes.

“I can’t wait any longer, I have to rush up!”

Tang Zhen made up his mind. After he threw away the broken bow and arrow, he casually picked up the two long Spears on the ground.

Tang Zhen inhaled a deep breath of air and leaped up. He thrust his long spear toward the top of the wall with all his might and hung his body in the air.

He pulled with his arm, and his body suddenly rose several meters. At the same time, another spear pierced into the wall, and his body rose again.

When they saw Tang Zhen charging towards the top of the city wall, those soldiers guarding the city turned pale with fright. Amidst the cries of alarm, there were people who continuously threw stone javelins in an attempt to throw him off the city wall.

However, Tang Zhen’s movements were unusually agile. He moved left and right on the city wall and dodged those attacks by a close shave.

In just a few breaths, Tang Zhen had already climbed to the top of the city wall. Then, under the frightened eyes of the city guards, he jumped up to the top of the city wall.

“Quickly kill him!”

The general on the city wall shouted and ordered, but his body was shot through by Tang Zhen’s spear and he was fixed on the City Tower.

Although the soldiers guarding the city were frightened, they also raised their Spears mechanically and stabbed towards Tang Zhen.

“Get lost!”

Waving his long spear to block the attacks of the soldiers guarding the city, Tang Zhen laughed wildly. He pulled out the battle blade on his back and started to fight on the city wall that was covered with corpses.

Blade light flickered as flesh and blood flew. Everywhere Tang Zhen went, people and horses were thrown off their feet, killing until the soldiers guarding the city were trembling in fear.

The other trial-takers also rushed up the city wall. All of them were like violent killing gods, as if they had entered a no-man’s land.

Under such circumstances, if they didn’t steal the kill, when would they?

Due to the rules of the trial of fate, the stronger the expert, the harder it was for Tang Zhen and the others to be defeated.

It was obvious that the trial of fate would not be so simple. Just as the trial-takers climbed up the city walls one after another and the city guards were about to be killed, a group of heavily armored enemies appeared from the city and pounced toward Tang Zhen and the others.

A grave expression flashed across Tang Zhen’s face as he looked at the enemies who were waving their zhanmadao with thick auras.

Although his strength had far exceeded that of ordinary people, he was still not at the level of the cultivators in loucheng. It was still very difficult for him to win against these heavy-armored swordsmen.

The real siege battle had just begun.
