Chapter 165 All Beasts Pay Homage

Chapter 165 All Beasts Pay Homage

The deathly silence lasted only a moment.

Tang Li's finger was still pointing in Tuoba Xiao's direction.

She looked at the Northern Rong King, whose face was filled with terror and who was retreating step by step, and then her gaze swept over Pei Yunjing, who was barely alive in her arms and had been tortured beyond recognition.

At that moment, the last trace of pity in her heart was completely burned away by the burning anger in her chest.

They drove him insane; they almost killed him.

Since you don't treat him like a human being, then you... shouldn't even think about being human either.

"kill."

Tang Li's lips were chapped, and her voice was extremely hoarse from overexerting her mental energy, like two rough whetstones rubbing against each other.

But the murderous intent in his tone was even more chilling than the swirling snow.

"Not one... left."

"roar--!!!"

With this final command issued, the previously quiet and crouching herd of beasts instantly erupted into chaos.

The pent-up ferocity, like a flood bursting its banks, swept towards the terrified Northern Rong soldiers with its destructive fury!

The black torrent instantly engulfed the canyon.

"Ah! Help!"

"Don't come any closer! Don't bite me!"

The screams instantly echoed through the sky, only to abruptly cease in the next second.

The snow wolf bit through the enemy's throat, the black bear smashed the enemy's skull, and the golden eagle pecked out the enemy's eyes.

Those once invincible elite troops of the Northern Rong, known as the "Death Legion," were as fragile as paper dolls in the face of these natural enemies.

Blood stained the snow, then was trampled into the mud by the surging herd of beasts.

High up.

Looking at the hellish scene below, and watching his elite troops fall like wheat being harvested, Tuoba Xiao finally collapsed completely.

"Madmen...they're all madmen..."

He no longer cared about the dignity of a king, nor about any grand plan for revenge.

He had only one thought in his mind—run!

"Protect the Emperor! Quickly, protect the Emperor!"

Tuoba Xiao grabbed the few dozen remaining guards beside him and shoved them violently towards the charging beasts. He then used both hands and feet to run wildly towards the valley entrance in a disheveled state.

"Stop them! Stop them for me!"

His guards screamed as they were swallowed by the beast horde, sacrificing their lives to buy him a sliver of hope.

Tuoba Xiao scrambled and stumbled, abandoning his armor and weapons, even losing the scimitar that symbolized his power.

Like a stray dog, he fled in panic from the valley called "Soul-Shattering Valley" with only a dozen or so remaining soldiers.

He vowed that in this life and the next, he would never want to set foot on this snow-capped mountain again!

...

After an unknown amount of time, the sounds of fighting gradually subsided, and the wind and snow finally stopped.

The once pristine white valley floor of Soul-Severing Valley has now turned a shocking dark red. Corpses lie strewn everywhere, yet not a single enemy remains standing.

All intruders have been eliminated.

"call……"

As Tang Li watched those figures fleeing in panic, the tension that had been building up finally eased.

An irresistible wave of dizziness instantly swept over him; it was the backlash from the complete depletion of his mental energy.

Her vision began to blur, and her body felt as if all her strength had been drained, causing her to fall limply backward.

But she didn't fall on the cold snow.

A huge, warm, and furry thing was placed behind her just in time.

That's the Snow Wolf King.

This proud wolf king was now as docile as a giant blanket. It lay down on the ground, letting Tangli lean against its soft, thick back, and even carefully adjusted its position to make her more comfortable.

Other ferocious beasts also gathered around.

They didn't leave, but quietly lay around, forming a warm circle with their bodies to shield the two people in the middle from the cold wind.

All was silent except for the heavy breathing of the wild beasts, which carried a reassuring warmth.

Pei Yunjing lay in Tang Li's arms, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

The noise that drove him mad disappeared, and the toxic fumes that tormented him dissipated.

He used all his strength to barely open his eyes, and the scene that came into view was blurry, yet extremely shocking.

He saw the woman in tattered red clothes slumping softly on the back of the giant wolf.

And all around her, wild beasts roamed the mountains and plains, whether they were ferocious wolves, raging bears, or proud eagles...

They all bowed their heads, prostrated themselves on the ground, facing the woman, maintaining a humble and respectful posture.

It's like worshipping a compassionate and powerful god who has descended to earth.

All beasts came to pay homage, and the goddess descended.

This scene, like a vividly colored mythological painting, crashed into Pei Yunjing's fading consciousness.

That was his wife, his medicine, and... his god.

"Tang... Pear..."

It's wonderful. Everything in this world wanted to kill me, but you... saved me.

Unconsciously, his hand gripped Tang Li's bloodstained hand tightly and never let go.
