Terran Guardian - Chapter 132: Eminent Collapse.
[Boom-]!
The roaring sound continued to ring, as if the Heavens and Earth were shaking, the rivers were raging.
Shen Changqing was sitting cross-legged on the bed, his skin terrifyingly red.
In front of him were discarded empty bottles of pills.
It was only after a long time had passed, did the ripples subside.
Shen Changqing opened his eyes, and the already bright room seemed to be a little brighter.
He delved into the panel.

——————————-
“The [Impregnable Golden Body] is finally complete!”
Shen Changqing looked at the stats on the panel and felt the mighty power in his flesh, with a faint smile on his face.
Even though it could be upgraded, it would take a lot of time to break through in the future.
Overnight, the [Impregnable Golden Body] broke through from Level 10 to Level 15.
In the process of breaking through, Shen Changqing could hear the battle outside, but he didn’t act.
“Against an army of 120,000, a Grandmaster wouldn’t be able to play a big role, let alone an Innate Outer Astral Realm. That is just seeking death!”
“Now that the Barbarians are besieging the city, the Black Tiger Army can only withstand it for a while. If I want to clear a bloody path, I can only rely on myself—”
He was on his own!
Shen Changqing’s goal was very clear.
The Black Tiger Army was strong, but no matter how strong they were, they only had 12,000 people. There was no way they could compete with 120,000 Barbarians.
Hence, only by improving one’s own strength in an all-round way would it be possible to break the game.
Now–
The [Impregnable Golden Body] had reached Level 15. Since the fusion of this Martial Arts, it has finally reached its perfect state.
Shen Changqing tried to cut himself with the Cold Moon Sword, but it did do any significant damage.
“With my current physical defensive strength, no one in the Innate Realm can break my defense. As for whether it can resist the attack of a Grandmaster, that remains to be seen!”
His current state of defense could be described as unparalleled.
But Shen Changqing also understood that although his physical defense had reached a high level, it did not mean that he could run rampant amidst an army.
A strong defense also had obvious weaknesses.
First: Every time he was attacked, it would consume some of his Qi and blood. Once the consumption got seriously high, his defensive power would inversely decrease.
Second: Even though some attacks couldn’t break his body’s defenses, if the power was too strong, it could penetrate his body and shake his internal organs.
Although with the improvement of his body, his internal organs had also been tempered, it’s defense was much worse compared to the body itself.
As for the third weakness, it was not really a weakness.
As it was simply when a strong person overpowered and broke past the limit of what his body’s defense could bear.
“It is rumored that Merba is a middle stage Grandmaster. With my current strength, I may not be able to compete with him. This is not enough”
Shen Changqing thought of Merba.
He had not fought against such level existences, but it did not prevent him from guessing that Grandmasters were stronger.
More importantly, he still had 52 points of Killing Value remaining.
He could still improve his strength.
“Now that the [Impregnable Golden Body] is complete, the overflowing Qi in my dantian has been completely resolved. From this current point of view, I can once again improve the [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi].”
“It’s a pity that I still haven’t realized True Intent even now!”
Thinking of True Intent, Shen Changqing shook his head helplessly.
To be frank, he still doesn’t know what kind of Realm he belonged to.
If he was labeled as a Grandmaster, he did not have True Intent. But if he was labeled as an Innate Realm, Shen Changqing also felt that he could defeat an Innate Realm with a single punch.
“Never mind.”
“It’s not necessary to think so much. It doesn’t matter what Realm I currently am. What matters is how much my strength has improved!”
Taking a deep breath, Shen Changqing calmed down and proceeded to the next round of upgrades.
Getting down, Shen Changqing didn’t take any pills. With the current [Impregnable Golden Body], his Qi and blood were more than enough to supplement his consumption, even if it was terrifying.
Soon, 16 Killing Value points were consumed.
The [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi] began to upgrade from Level 16 to 17.
Whoosh!
There was a crazy suction in Shen Changqing’s dantian. His blood made a water-like sound.
The breakthrough had started.
——
Woo!!
The horn of the Barbarians sounded. After more than an hour of rest, the Barbarians attacked Jin City once again.
“The Barbarians are attacking, everyone be ready to fight!”
“Enemy attack!”
“Enemy attack—”
A signal was also sent out to the resting Black Tiger Army. They all grabbed their weapons and rushed towards the city wall.
The Black Tiger Army was the first to attack.
In the tent, Chu Ding opened his tightly closed eyes, with a glint flashing past.
“Here we go!”
Putting on his armor again, he took his long spear on one side and walked out of the tent.
Outside, everyone rushed towards the city gate.
“What does Elder Fang think? What chances do we have in surviving this?”
Tang Hong listened to the horns sounded by the Barbarians and his complexion became complicated. A tired look was vaguely visible between his brows.
The battle last night had exhausted him.
Although he had no injury, the mental consumption was not small.
Beside him was Fang Xue from the Golden Toad Sect.
Fang Xue didn’t need to participate in the war. After all, his main task was to develop a suitable poison for the Barbarians.
But he wasn’t able to create one last night, so there was no need to waste time dwelling on it.
Now that the Barbarians were attacking the city, it was better to have one more warrior of the Qi Circulation Realm in the battlefield than one less.
Hearing Tang Hong’s words, Fang Xue shook his head. His face was melancholic.
“With two armies fighting, who can be 100% sure that they will survive? What we can only do now is to preserve ourselves as much as possible!”
Dying for the country.
He never had such a thought.
But because of the Black Tiger Army’s summon, Fang Xue had no way to refuse.
But once Jin City was broken through, he would definitely not die along with Jin City. With his own means, he still had a high chance of escaping in the battle between the two armies.
“It seems that Elder Fang is ready!”
Tang Hong showed a meaningful smile.
Fang Xue smiled slightly: “Not as much as Deacon Tang.”
The two looked at each other and smiled, tacitly understanding each other.
Outside the city.
The Barbarian siege.
Compared with last night, after the Barbarians rested for more than an hour, although their morale was not as strong as at the beginning, the strength of their siege was much stronger than the beginning.
More than a dozen Mighty Apes braved the rain of arrows and stood at the forefront.
Meanwhile, in the rear, a large number of Barbarian soldiers carried ladders to the city wall and kept climbing upwards.
“Fire the fireworks!”
“Don’t let the Mighty Ape get close to the city wall!”
A General shouted loudly.
Immediately, one could see a firework soaring into the sky towards the Mighty Ape in front.
Although it did not cause any damage to the ape, it burned its hair.
Even so, the Mighty Ape did not flinch. Rather, the fire stimulated its inner ferocity. It waved its huge fists and bombarded the city wall.
Boom!
Boom!!
Every attack of the Mighty Ape contained a tremendous power, causing the city wall to vibrate violently, and stone fragments fell.
To this, the Black Tiger Army kept pouring down kerosene and lighting it with torches. At the same time, they also threw rocks, trying to kill all of the Mighty Apes.
Due to the distance, the crossbow had no effective function.
Now that all of the Barbarians were advancing, especially the Barbarian Generals who had issued military orders in front of Merba, they were commanding the army like crazy and launching a fierce attack on Jin City.
Arrows continuously rained.
The smell of killing and murder permeated the atmosphere.
Corpses fell from the city walls, one after another and became part of the thousands of corpses in the battlefield.
Among the corpses were Barbarians.
There were also Black Tiger Army troops.
It was just that relatively speaking, the number of Barbarians dying was higher.
The casualties of the attackers itself were more than the casualties of the defense.
Piercing and retracting his spear, bringing along a rain of blood, a Barbarian warrior fell from the top of the wall.
Chu Ding looked at the Barbarian army that was constantly attacking the city with a heavy expression.
“Sure enough, after the Barbarians rested, their siege became more intense. I’m afraid our army won’t be able to resist it for long!”
As far as his eye could see, the Black Tiger Army began to fall one by one. There was a look of pain in his eyes as he watched such a scene.
Those people were the soldiers he had brought up.
But now, they were dying from the Barbarians. It would be a lie if he said he wasn’t heartbroken.
It was just that although Chu Ding’s heart was aching, his heart was filled more with killing intent, almost filling his chest with killing intent.
“Kill!”
His spear trembled, as it instantly killed the Barbarians who had attacked the city wall.
Immediately after, the city wall vibrated, and cracks could be seen spreading.
“The city wall is collapsing!”
Such thoughts flashed in Chu Ding’s mind. He then saw a Mighty Ape shaking the city wall below.
Without hesitation, he jumped off the city wall. His spear trembled and shot across the air as he went down, instantly piercing the thick fur of the Mighty Ape and into its head.
Puff-
The tip of the spear protruded from the back of his head. Red and white substances flowing out.
