Chapter 475: Surround Wei to Save Zhao

The Cloud Saint Beast King stepped out of a space crack several hundred miles away, her face dark with anger.

Before her eyes were two enormous deep pits.

"Is this how you killed the Blood Lion Beast King?" the Cloud Saint Beast King asked, her tone heavy with seriousness.

At that moment, Xu Fan manipulated the compass, triggering three railguns to fire.

Three massive alloy projectiles shot off in different directions at incredible speeds.

The Cloud Saint Beast King, already on guard, managed to dodge the first two shots with all her strength, but the spiritual pressure from the third grazed her before she disappeared from the spot.

By then, the Cloud Saint Beast King’s speed had reached its peak.

Xu Fan looked pale and drained; firing those shots had completely exhausted his spiritual energy and mental focus.

"Damn, I didn’t expect sealing off a slightly stronger beast king would take so much out of me," he muttered.

He took a deep breath and swallowed a recovery pill.

"Master, are you okay?" Xu Gang asked urgently, noticing Xu Fan’s weakened state.

"I’m fine, just a bit low on spiritual energy and focus," Xu Fan waved his hand, signaling that he was alright.

Just then, Spirit Cut returned.

"Grand Elder, didn’t you have four railguns? Why did you only fire three?"

"If you had fired one more shot, the Cloud Saint Beast King would’ve either died or been severely injured," Spirit Cut said, looking disheveled.

"If I had fired that last shot, your precious celestial tool would’ve been gone too," Xu Fan replied, his expression grim.

"Haha, the Grand Elder’s health comes first," Spirit Cut said awkwardly.

He quickly realized that for someone at the Transformation Stage to challenge a beast king of that level, there had to be a heavy cost.

"I have to admit, the Path of Light is a real pain; it leaves no room for mistakes," Spirit Cut sighed.

"When you face someone at your level, you can still rely on celestial tools and the path of the blade to win."

"But when you’re up against someone who perfectly counters you, it’s just a one-sided beatdown. There’s no way around it," Xu Fan said as he continued to recover.

"I knew I’d lose, but I didn’t expect to lose so badly."

"Don’t worry, the Cloud Saint Beast King won’t be able to finish you off anytime soon. Focus on your training and figure out how to get your revenge later," Xu Fan said.

"With our paths opposing each other, it feels like there’s no hope in this lifetime," Spirit Cut replied.

"Hey, you’ve got to have dreams," Xu Fan said, trying to cheer him up.

"And you said it yourself—it’s just a dream," Spirit Cut said with a bitter smile.

"We’ll need to stay here for a while," Xu Fan added.

"That lioness isn’t going to give up anytime soon," he continued.

"Grand Elder, do you think that lioness might head up to the sky to look for the Demon Suppressing Stars?" Spirit Cut asked, voicing his concern.

"She’ll definitely try. It’s not like no one’s ever attempted to go after the Demon Suppressing Stars before."

"But don’t worry, I’ve already taken precautions. If she could just stumble upon the Demon Suppressing Stars, then I, as a master craftsman, would’ve wasted my time," Xu Fan said with a chuckle.

"Recently, the Cloud Saint Beast King probably won’t be causing any trouble," Spirit Cut remarked.

"Breaking through the spatial seal with his physical body and teleporting hundreds of miles must have been quite a strain for him," Spirit Cut added with a cold smile.

"Can you break through the spatial seal and teleport now?" Xu Fan inquired.

"It’s difficult. At my full strength, I can only break through the spatial seal and teleport up to 100 miles, and then I’d be left with little spiritual energy and suffer from spatial backlash," Spirit Cut explained.

"So, if a respected elder tries to forcibly break through the spatial seal to teleport during a battle, it’s practically suicidal," Spirit Cut concluded.

Spirit Cut’s words prompted Xu Fan to ponder, and then he sighed, "After teleporting, the Cloud Saint Beast King managed to dodge three of my shots."

"This suggests that even when she’s prepared, it would take at least four shots to force her to retreat," Xu Fan said seriously.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Spirit Cut thought for a moment and then said, "With me here, I can ensure that the Cloud Saint Beast King won’t come within ten thousand miles of the Steel Wall."

"But after that, it’s up to you. You saw how it is; when our paths clash, I was completely outmatched by the Cloud Saint Beast King," Spirit Cut admitted helplessly.

"Grape, how’s the data collection on the Cloud Saint Beast King coming along?" Xu Fan asked.

"I can only assist my master in firing the third shot," Grape replied.

"The third shot? It seems there’s no chance of keeping that female lion here," Xu Fan sighed.

Everyone on the Steel Wall looked at Xu Fan with concern; they had all witnessed the intense battle between the Cloud Saint Beast King and Spirit Cut.

If the Cloud Saint Beast King were to approach the Steel Wall, she would be an unstoppable force. No one in the entire Hidden Spirit Sect could stand against her.

"Then we’ll have to resort to the strategy of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao," Xu Fan said calmly.

"Grape, how long would it take to deploy a railgun to the holy city of the Holy Lion Clan?" Xu Fan asked.

"It would take one month at full power to drive the Demon Suppressing Star," Grape answered.

"Send out the first railgun we’ve constructed," Xu Fan instructed.

"I doubt all the beast kings in the Holy Lion Clan are at your level," Xu Fan said slyly.

If we can’t beat them, we’ll just have to take their home; isn’t that the norm?

"Brilliant! Grand Elder," Spirit Cut exclaimed.

"This way, we can threaten the Cloud Saint Beast King," he said, clapping his hands in approval.

"The Holy Lion Clan’s strength is second only to the royal clans within the beast race; they have at least ten beast kings within their clan."

"Luckily, there are no invincible respected elders among their beast kings; otherwise, we’d be in serious trouble," Xu Fan said with relief, sharing the latest data he had gathered on the Holy Lion Clan.

"The Cloud Saint Beast King’s fighting strength is top-tier in their clan, so our railguns can’t really threaten her, but we can threaten other beast kings in their clan."

"If you attack me, I’ll attack your beast kings," Xu Fan chuckled.

Everyone on the Steel Wall laughed at Xu Fan’s plan.

Meanwhile, within the Precious Artifact Rabbit Clan, a Core Formation stage Precious Artifact Rabbit was trembling as it massaged the Cloud Saint Beast King’s wounds.

"Don’t you know the human race can launch those things from the sky?" the Cloud Saint Beast King said, closing her eyes to rest.

Forcibly breaking through the spatial seal to teleport and dodging those three shots had severely drained her mental energy.

"I don’t know; the humans only signed an equality agreement with me. We haven’t received much information from them," the Core Formation Precious Artifact Rabbit explained while continuing the massage.

"Never mind; you probably don’t know anything."

As the massage continued, the Cloud Saint Beast King’s mental energy gradually began to recover.

"Once I eliminate the humans here, your Precious Artifact Rabbit Clan will relocate closer to my Holy Lion Clan."

"You will become the servant clan of my Jade Light Beast King, and forget about your alliance with the human race."

After speaking, the Cloud Saint Beast King transformed into a beam of white light and disappeared, leaving the Core Formation Precious Artifact Rabbit with a conflicted expression.

It now hesitated about whether to report this matter to the Jade Light Beast King.
