Chapter 678 - 165 Arrive Just in Time
Lei Sai was in total despair. To buy time for the remnants of the Nansha, he had chosen to make a last stand alone, erecting a lightning barrier with most of the magic power stored within his body that spanned ten thousand meters, blocking the advance of the orc army.
But he too was entrenched deep within the encirclement of the orc powerhouses, with no hope of escape.
"The Tengwang Serpent Clan..." As a top clan of the beast race, Lei Sai naturally had heard of them. He couldn’t fathom why dozens of the Tengwang Serpent Clan’s top experts were appearing near the borderlands. Each of them had the strength nearly at the level of a king, capable of sweeping through any place they went. Why would they bother to come to these borderlands?
"Swish, swish, swish, Lei Sai, today if I take your head, that would be a great achievement. The Family Head might even reward us with more territory, and bestowing noble ranks would be as easy as flipping a hand," the number one expert of the Tengwang Serpent Clan said with a hideous smile, attacking Lei Sai even more frequently, constantly draining his remaining magic power.
As soon as Lei Sai’s magic power was exhausted, he would be a tiger without teeth and would not be able to withstand a single blow.
Surrounded by these dozens of experts, Lei Sai had no space to counterattack aside from defending. Based on the remaining magic power he had, he estimated he couldn’t hold out even for half an hour.
Fortunately, this time was already enough for the Nansha legion to escape to the heavens, but whether the Nansha migration would go smoothly was something Lei Sai might no longer be able to help with.
"Today I have no chance of escape, but before dying, I hope to know why you are here?"
This matter was very important. With the elves bearing down and various races ready to act, why did the beast race have time to bother with the human race?
"Heh heh, telling you won’t hurt. Our Family Head says, ’The beast race shall establish an empire for a hundred generations, and eighty Supreme Heavenly Gods have joined forces to declare that any strong among our beast race, upon expanding territory, can rightfully govern the land and inherit noble titles, founding a major clan.’"
The words of the Tengwang Serpent Clan powerhouse left Lei Sai full of questions. What was going on? All the other races were treating the beast race like a delicious dish on a plate, waiting to share it, and they should be thinking about defense rather than expanding their territory. Did they think the rest of the races were powerless, or could it be that the beast race had a new Heavenly God emerge, a super Heavenly God strong enough to dominate the entire world?
No matter how it was explained, the actions of the beast race were absolutely abnormal and illogical. Yet this illogical behavior caused an unfounded worry to arise in Lei Sai’s heart. There were always reasons for rumors, and the beast race wasn’t foolish, especially those Heavenly Gods who had lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years. The lack of understanding was merely because he had not yet grasped the truth behind it.
