Lord of the Magical Beasts
Chapter 546: Balark

Chapter 546: Balark

When Yang Ling was about to consume all Magical Beasts’ Blood Orb and Life Spring’s water in his possession, he finally saw the verdant coastline, and as long as he flew for 2000 other miles, he would manage to reach Balark City where the Dark Association’s headquarters was situated.

“Darn it! Is this guy made out of iron, or is he an ox?” When Yang Ling saw the Sea Demon King behind him that pursued him relentlessly, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

He had traveled at least 20,000 miles from the Demon Island to this region. Just a little was left out of the mountain of Magical Beasts’ Blood Orbs in his spatial ring, and just a few drops were left out of the Life Spring’s water because he supplemented his exhausted Wizard Power and Physical Energy repeatedly.

Yang Ling didn’t expect that the crazy Sea Demon King wouldn’t ever stop, and he chased him stubbornly. Even though Yang Ling had once gnashed his teeth to teleport for two or three thousand miles, he still didn’t manage to get rid of him. The Sea Demon King was like a mad bull, and he had great endurance.

“It’s fortunate that I have a sufficient amount of Magical Beasts’ Blood Orb as well as Life Spring’s water, and it’s fortunate that I have managed to get by luck the Battle Soul Blade that possessed great power.” Yang Ling stroked the Battle Soul Blade’s hilt, and as a swooshing sound echoed out, he crossed the coastline and rushed to Balark City, where the Dark Association’s headquarters was situated.

Yang Ling had traveled for thousands of miles from the Demon Island to this region, and if he didn’t supplement his energy consumption with Magical Beasts’ Blood Orbs and Life Spring’s water, he would have been overtaken by the freakish Sea Demon King long ago, and if he didn’t have the powerful Battle Soul Blade, he wouldn’t have managed to counterattack and launch successful sneak attacks. The Sea Demon King was compelled by Yang Ling’s actions to leave always some energy to protect himself so that Yang Ling wouldn’t inflict injuries upon him.

Yang Ling was quite surprised, and he didn’t know that the Sea Demon King was even more surprised. He had even his own indescribable hardships. He had lived for so long, yet he had never seen someone as sly as Yang Ling, and he also had never seen someone with this great escape ability.

At first, the Sea Demon King that depended upon his great speed and rich Divine Power assumed that he would manage to exhaust Yang Ling before killing him quickly, and he didn’t expect that after chasing down Yang Ling for a whole day and night, it was him that was exhausted and he even consumed most of his Divine Power. As for Yang Ling, he was still lively and vigorous, and his speed didn’t go down. Instead, it seemed like he became faster.

A freak! This was a really a freak never-seen-before!

When the Sea Demon King saw Yang Ling speeding up again, he was so infuriated that he gnashed his teeth. No matter how one observed Yang Ling, it would seem that he had just a Low-Level Deity’s power, but the Sea Demon King still couldn’t overtake him, and even though Yang Ling’s power wasn’t high, he could still come up with many unpredictable moves.

At any crucial junctures, Yang Ling would use a Teleportation Spell to make a narrow escape from danger and pull open the distance before flying slowly. But, when the Sea Demon King was about to overtake him, he would once again speed up. In addition, Yang Ling would use a Teleportation Spell every time to launch an attack, and he would usually make just a single strike before retreating promptly. His slyness would frustrate people so much that they would vomit blood.

However, if the Sea Demon King gritted his teeth and flew onward to intercept Yang Ling, Yang Ling would either rest or flew back. This was why the Sea Demon King could only run around in circles behind him, and he hated Yang Ling so much that he ground his teeth.

Moreover, Yang Ling didn’t follow any Chivalry’s principles, and provocation was useless again to him. Even if he cursed Yang Ling to the top of his throat, Yang Ling would either turn a deaf ear to him or come up with strange replies that would infuriate the Sea Demon King so much that his body would shiver.

The Sea Demon King had sworn that he had never seen a person as hateful and sly as his guy.

If it could be said that the Sea Demon King wished previously to kill Yang Ling and grind his bones into ashes, then now, he wished greatly to tie Yang Ling so that he could hack him or bite him every day.

Swoosh!

The two people’s pursuit continued, and they quickly crossed many forests and towns. In a short while, they closed on in Balark City, where the Dark Association’s headquarters was situated, and they got to see the King of Darkness’s large statue.

“Hahaha, the Dark Association? You are courting death, let’s see where you can still escape.” The Sea Demon King that chased Yang Ling for a whole day and night wasn’t just weary, and even his head became disoriented. But, when he saw the King of Darkness’ statue in the distance, he managed to understand Yang Ling’s intentions, and he was overjoyed.

If Yang Ling went to Raymond’s Fire God Mountain to take refuge or just continued flying without a stop, then the Sea Demon King would be in trouble. But, Yang Ling rushed to the Dark Association, and this wasn’t any different than courting death. The Three Heads of Darkness were all heavily injured and couldn’t even protect themselves. Seeking the Battle Soul Blade’s protection wasn’t any different than throwing oneself into flames.

“Good, it’s pretty good. I can get rid of all you at one go,” the Sea Demon King licked his lips excitedly.

When Yang Ling discerned that he would shortly reach Balark City, he also got excited like the Sea Demon King, and he got ready to join hands with the Three Heads of Darkness to dispose of the Sea Demon King.

If Yang Ling had enough Magical Beasts’ Blood Orbs and Life Spring’s water, he would have traveled to the distant Fire God Mountain or fly without a stop with the Sea Demon King until the Sea Demon King exhausted his whole divine power. But, it was a pity that he didn’t have much left of the Magical Beasts’ Blood Orbs and Life Spring’s water, and he could only persist until he reached Balark City where the Dark Association was situated.

Yang Ling that didn’t know the current situation was totally unaware that he walked into a dead end.

“Well? Something is amiss?” After Yang Ling flew for a certain distance, he suddenly got a bad feeling about this.

Thick smoke was rising from the desolate mountain villages and prosperous towns he saw in the way, and torn limbs and bodies could be seen everywhere there. An intense reeking scent of blood permeated the air, and as Yang Ling approached Balark City, he found out that the situation was more grave, and it seemed like a bitter fight occurred here.

“Could it be that the Dark Association was already defeated?” As Yang Ling recalled the great army led by the Sea Demon King, he got a restless feeling about this. But, when he saw the towering giant statue of the King of Darkness, he got a gleam of hope, and he sped up as he flew over there.

The Demon Island’s army was always cruel and bloody, and they would leave just ruins everywhere they passed by. If they managed to conquer Balark City, a symbolic building such as the large King of Darkness’s statue would have been destroyed.

Sure enough! After Yang Ling closed on in Balark City, he discovered that Balark City was engulfed by a Magical Barrier-like black halo, and even though the city’s walls were bloodstained, they still had innumerable soldiers in armor atop them. There was also a pile of corpses of Sea Tribe’s members beneath the city’s walls, and so much blood was shed here that a river of blood was formed.

There was a large barrack five miles from the city’s gate, and Sea Tribe’s warriors in armor were walking in it. It seemed like they were getting ready for another round of attacks on the city.

“Enemy attack, shoot arrows. Hurry up!”

“Spellcasters! Hurry up, hurry up and climb into the Energy Towers.”

...

When the soldiers on the city wall saw Yang Ling and the Sea Demon King that rushed quickly at them, they were startled, and they carried out fierce attacks decisively. Sharp arrows flew through the air, while the Energy Towers let out a deafening noise and released Fireballs, Icicle, and other Magical Attacks that filled the sky and the land.

The city was besieged by the Demon Island’s army for several days, and they suffered heavy casualties. This was why the soldiers in charge of the city defense were quite tense, and they would carry out attacks at the slightest notice. The Demon Island’s ominous fame spread far and wide, and everyone knew that as long as the enemy broke into the city, none would manage to survive.

“I’m the Magical Beast Territory’s Lord, hurry up and invite your elder.” Yang Ling dodged a wave of intensive crossbow’s bolts, as well as Magical Attacks before he waved his hand to summon the Corpse Wizard King, Nine-Headed Python Hydra, and the others. Soon after, a swooshing sound echoed out as Yang Ling unsheathed the sharp Battle Soul Blade.

He would shortly consume all Magical Beasts’ Blood Orbs and Life Spring’s water in his possession, and he wasn’t able to fly again for a long-distance. The sole strategy he could use on this day was obstructing the Sea Demon King until the Three Heads of Darkness got news of this affair and rushed over to help him dispose of the Sea Demon King.

In addition, hiding in the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension was also not a solution. He could hide in it for a while, but couldn’t hide forever. If the crazy Sea Demon King stayed in the vicinity, Yang Ling would be in great trouble.

Basically, the place where he entered the Wizard Pagoda would be the same place where he would appear once leaving it, and the deviation wouldn’t be big. Yang Ling’s Soul Energy increased by much, and his Divine Consciousness turned so strong that its scope reached 2,000 miles, but as long as the Sea Demon King stayed in the vicinity, Yang Ling wouldn’t manage to get rid of him, and when Yang Ling came out, he might even suffer a deadly sneak-attack.

“Hahaha, damned guy, let’s see where you can escape this time.” When the Sea Demon King saw Yang Ling stopping here, he laughed loudly. He had pursed Yang Ling for a whole day and night, and he finally cornered him into a dead end. The only person able to pose a threat to him was Hydra that took a serpent-woman form, and he didn’t take the Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, and others seriously. He could kill all of them!

“It’s the feudal lord. It’s really the feudal lord. Quickly stop all attacks.”

“It’s awful, the person behind him is that Sea Demon King.”

...

When the city defense soldiers on the city’s wall saw the Dark Dragon King in humanoid form as well as Hydra and other Magical Beasts, they quickly recognized Yang Ling’s status and understood that strong reinforcements arrived. They immediately ceased all attacks and dispatched someone to report this news to the Great Elder. But, when they had a clear look of the person opposite to Yang Ling and discerned that it was the terrifying Sea Demon King, they turned pale with fright.

“Our great king came back! It’s our great king that came back!”

“Hurry up and attack with the whole army.”

...

The city defense soldiers turned pale with fright, while the Sea Tribe Army’s soldiers got overjoyed. The army followed the commander’s instructions and started attacking quickly. A black mass of people rushed over to Balark City and encircled it. When the Sea Demon King left the battlefield suddenly, the Sea Tribe Army’s soldiers got restless because they didn’t know what happened, but now, the Sea Demon King came back, and they finally heaved a sigh of relief.

None knew that their lair already sank to the seabed, and none knew that they had already lost their retreat road.

“Hahaha, the Three Heads of Darkness are heavily injured, and it’s still unknown whether they can even survive until tomorrow. Now, let’s see how you will die.” The Sea Demon King laughed with glee before he gnashed his teeth and said, “After I destroy Balark City, I will lead my army to your Magical Beast Territory and carry out a massacre there. I will let you see with your own eyes the abuse your wives and relatives would suffer, and I will let you see with your own eyes the destruction of your castle. Hahaha!”

Were the Three Heads of Darkness heavily injured?

Yang Ling was astounded. At first, he assumed that this was the Sea Demon King’s ruse, but he saw the pale-faced Dark Great Elder that quickly appeared atop the city’s wall and the Dark Cavalry Commander that lost his left arm. At this moment, his heart sank.

Yang Ling assumed that he could join hands with the Three Heads of Darkness to kill the terrifying Sea Demon King and didn’t expect that the Dark Elder and his two companions already sustained heavy injuries. He wouldn’t manage to kill the Sea Demon King as he wished, and he probably still brought a terrifying disaster upon the Dark Association.

“Hahaha, die, die!” The Sea Demon King laughed loudly and split into two people again. The main body raised the sharp Ghost Head Blade, while the clone started mumbling in a loud voice to cast a terrifying spell.

“Forosa, you have been imprisoned in the Stormy Seas for ten thousand years, yet you are unexpectedly still so stupid.”

When the Sea Demon King was about to attack, and when Yang Ling was about to gnash his teeth and raise the Battle Soul Blade, several familiar-looking silhouettes appeared atop the city wall. They were the graceful white-clothed Sword God, the Chief Elven Priestess that held a Magic Staff and the Golden Light that held a spear. They had already rushed into Balark City at an unknown moment!

After the great factions learned about the conspiracy of the Sea Demon King and the Church, they joined hands and started taking actions for their joint interests. Even the Golden Lion that always had a good relationship with the Church had rushed over quickly. The Graveyard of Gods and Devils would be shortly opened, and none wanted to see the occurrence of great turmoil on the continent at this moment, and they also didn’t want Alien Plane’s demons to intrude into Tailun Continent through a spatial crevice.
