Chapter 587: Chapter 363: Slaughter in the Domain, Dead Bone Dance! (5K)
```
When the pale yellow domain shattered in the distance and the Snake Man Legend fell from the sky, the King of the Black Fang already understood that their surprise attack had failed.
Even though the human territory had not been able to take advantage of its terrain, he had to admit that this city was managed to be impregnable, with virtually no weakness to exploit.
With just a few of their Legends, it would be difficult to tear apart the city's Defense Light Curtain in a short time.
And the Legends of the humans, elves, and giants were likely already on their way.
If they didn't leave now, they might...never be able to leave at all.
"Go!"
Without his command, the other two Legends of the Blood Snake Encase who were closer to Tianyuan City had already slammed on the brakes. They landed on the ground and reversed direction faster than they had arrived, rapidly gathering the Power of Heaven and Earth, erecting massive rocky bulwarks in front of themselves one after another.
They were scared.
Before coming, they didn't regard the human Legends highly, and they never had to take seriously those beneath Legends. But indeed, an abundance of ants could bite an elephant to death. If they were to control the Power of Heaven and Earth from several kilometers away and strike from a distance, they would be relatively safe.
The vast majority of Four-order leaders or city defense weapons could only watch helplessly, and the few attacks that came could be easily weakened and deflected by their domains, posing no pressure on them.
However, the Breaking Boundary Stone needed direct contact with the Enchantment to take effect.
They didn't think it would be a challenge.
They were great Legends, protected by domains around their bodies, able to cross thousands of kilometers in a few breaths' time, with no need to care about the retaliation of ordinary ants.
Yet, as they drew closer and closer to the human city, the pressure they bore also escalated by manyfold.
Shells, arrows, and Bone Spears flew towards them like rain, soon exceeding their domains' ability to bear and filter. This was not an issue in itself, as a casual blow that they cast, gathering the Power of Heaven and Earth, could shatter countless shells, arrows, and Fireballs. But! Among those countless ordinary arrows and shells, there were a few that posed a slight threat to them.
They couldn't ignore them.
They became more serious.
They became worn out from dealing with the assault.
They...witnessed one of their comrades being struck down by the Thunderbolt that streaked across the sky.
"There are tactics employed within the Human city capable of inflicting heavy damage on us!"
"This Thunderbolt...its energy is so vast, so wild!"
The two Legends of the Blood Snake Encase looked towards their Snake Man comrade who had fallen over a thousand meters away. The Snake Man Legend's body was charred, and his flesh split open as if he were a dead snake.
However, Legends possessed strong vitality, and the miserable state of the Snake Man Legend did not necessarily mean his demise.
The two snakes glanced at each other and didn't hesitate to continue withdrawing to the distance.
In the blink of an eye, the two Snake Man Legends, three Jackal Wolf Legends, and the Mirage Shell Legend who had previously retreated ten kilometers away all became beams of light, vanishing into the horizon.
After a while, only the howling cold wind soared through the sky, reminiscent of Da Ri's imposing presence descending over Tianyuan City.
But at that moment, Nature no longer bore witness to the figures of the monstrous Legends. All that was left was the body of a Snake Man Legend, struck by the Thunderbolt and covered in frost, half-buried in the earth.
As for the Mirrorlight Barrier shrouding the city, it appeared dimmer compared to its original brilliance.
...
Some hundreds of miles to the south of Tianyuan City, in a certain swampland,
the King of the Black Fang and the other six Legends, having retreated from the human city at top speed, landed on the ground to retract their domains and auras. After a swift run, they finally stopped to rest.
"The human Legends didn't give chase," the King of the Black Fang stated with confidence.
Their own spies were in the wilderness behind them; it would be impossible to pursue them swiftly without the spies taking notice.
He was uncertain whether to feel relieved or regretful.
In their plan, they had anticipated the possibility of being pursued by human Legends. Rather, they hoped the human Legends would come after them.
If that had happened, they could have tied down a human Legend, encumbering a limb of the human forces.
Thus, the Fang of the Jackal Wolf could have crushed the human territory with greater ease.
However, for the King of the Black Fang and the others, they truly hoped the human Legends wouldn't pursue them. Should the human Legends fight desperately, using all their hidden tactics before the demise of their power, they would be the ones at a disadvantage.
He, the King of the Black Fang, did not wish to fall in the wilderness like Black Wing.
Compared to the King of the Black Fang and the other four Legends, the two Snake Man Legends were even more alarmed; they had suffered from the bombardment by countless human weapons and powerhouses during their retreat.
Another Thunderbolt beam, slightly weaker than the previous one, had hurtled towards them; if the King of the Black Fang hadn't provided some cover, one of the Snake Men might have been left behind.
Even so, anger smoldered within their pupils, but it was hidden beneath the sinister glare of their snake eyes, unexpressed.
But damned be those Black Fang Jackals who viewed them as cannon fodder for a probe; they remembered.
One Snake Man exchanged a glance with his kin, confirming through their eyes that they shared the same thought. Suddenly, a look of shock, fear, and disbelief surfaced in the eyes across from him.
A chill surged up from his tail to the top of his head.
Before the Snake Man Sword Saint could swing his sword in defense, a shadow of indistinct features behind him drew out a Bone Spike, thrusting forward.
It seemed a simple thrust.
No energy spilled out, no grand momentum, just the whiff of death that the Snake Man Legend detected.
