Chapter 585: Who Is This Person
The siege of Xiajing City had raged on for nearly a year. Top-tier warriors from both sides had entered the fray one after another. However, as time passed, the frequency of appearances by the strongest combatants had diminished.
Since they had not been able to kill their opponents, the top-tier forces had settled into a delicate equilibrium. But the Yiggs Coalition Army continuously reinforced its troops. Seven or eight of the top twenty fighters on the global power rankings, aside from those on the Great Xia side, had gathered outside Xiajing City, waiting for the moment to strike.
On Great Xia's side, the three Grand Commanders and several hidden Saints had also been actively preparing for battle, seeking the right opportunity to act. Yet, the area beyond the city walls had effectively become the domain of the Yiggs Coalition Army. Even Great Xia's three Grand Commanders dared not venture out alone. If they did, they risked being surrounded and annihilated by the enemy’s elite forces.
In a situation where the loss of even one top-tier warrior could fatally tip the delicate balance, both sides treaded cautiously. In truth, this fragile equilibrium was gradually crumbling. The constant reinforcement of the Yiggs forces, their relentless use of star beast tides, and their strategy of wearing down Xiajing City's forces had been steadily weakening the city’s defenses.
Today’s attack was a carefully planned, high-stakes assault by the Yiggs Coalition Army. They were aiming to breach several key areas along the Great Xia city walls in a direct assault.
The section where Su Qianni was stationed was one such target, and it had indeed been breached. But just as everyone feared the situation was spiraling out of control, Li Xiaofei appeared. Not only did he slay the invading Grade Eight Beast King, but he had also launched a fierce counterattack.
In the blink of an eye, the area within a kilometer of the city walls had been completely cleared of star beasts and enemy forces, leaving a rare expanse of empty ground.
"Kill!" Li Xiaofei surged forward.
Fully activating his martial techniques, he plunged deeper into the battlefield, charging straight into the clusters of Star Armors, power armors, and power mechs.
Clusters of fiery explosions, as dazzling and fleeting as fireworks, once again lit up the sky. For a moment, the countless exhausted and wounded soldiers on the city walls could only stare in awe, their fatigue momentarily forgotten.
