Chapter 88: Divine Dragon's Decision Second Layer (First Update Seeking Votes)

  Outside the Western Spirit City, a 200,000-strong beastman army was arrayed outside, their black silhouettes stretching endlessly in all directions. The wild winds that swept across the sky seemed to carry with them an aura of killing intent, sending chills down one's spine.

  The beastman army under Bimon's tribe finally caught up, but it seemed that they didn't have the intention to attack the city for the time being.

  The commander of this beastman army is the fierce general Lari, who is over ten feet tall, with two horns on his head, a ferocious face, and a heavenly sword weighing over 1,000 kilograms. His combat power is equivalent to that of an Earth-rank warrior, and he cannot be said to be weak.

  "Great General, why don't you take advantage of the momentum to capture Xiling City and annihilate this remnant army of the Unicorn Rhinoceros tribe?" a Jiao general said in a low voice.

  "Xī Líng Chéng is easy to defend but hard to attack. Launching a strong attack on Xī Líng Chéng would result in the loss of at least tens of thousands of brave warriors, and it's not worth it." Lari had a meaty face, but his mind was meticulous. Although beastmen generally have lower IQs than humans, high-ranking beastmen are not necessarily so, and there are many cunning ones like foxes.

  "Then we can't just let them be? If the main force of the Unicorn Rhino tribe breaks through the Great King's defense and attacks from behind, our army will be caught in a pincer movement." The Jiao people general said.

  "No, the main force of the Unicorn Rhinoceros tribe is being dragged to the Emerald Prairie. If they come to rescue with all their might, their base will not be preserved. Therefore, the Unicorn Rhinoceros tribe will definitely abandon this remnant army." Lari said confidently, and continued: "We just need to surround Xiling City, and it will fall without a fight."

  "But General, the next blizzard is approaching soon. If we set up camp outside, I'm afraid it will be difficult to withstand the cold wind..." The Jiao people's general hesitated, although besieging Xiling City was a good strategy, but this northwestern weather didn't distinguish between friend and foe.

  "This guy knows that the various major forces in Western Spirit City coexist, and there are many adventurers from all walks of life. As long as we surround Western Spirit City, the city will definitely be in chaos." Lari burst out laughing.

  "Great General is wise and brilliant." The crocodile general's eyes lit up, and he flattered excessively.

  However, Larry and the Lionman leader Kero made the same mistake, that is, he did not know that Xiling City had been completely controlled by Qi Bei, and the remaining beast army had also merged into Xiling City, so the internal conflict situation he mentioned would never happen.

  Zi Bei arrived at the city wall of Xi Ling City and saw that the beastman tribe's army outside the city had begun to set up camp and start fires. He opened his mouth and said, "It seems they don't plan on attacking the city. I wonder if they're conserving their strength or just want to surround us without attacking, letting us defeat ourselves."

  "Lord of the castle, it should be the latter. Looking at their camp layout, they are emphasizing defense, and it's very likely that they want to besiege Xiling City." Kero said respectfully, as a beastman general, he was naturally very familiar with the combat methods of the beastman army.

  "Haha, look at this weather, in a few more days another blizzard will be coming, I think they are digging their own graves." Qi Bei felt much lighter in his heart, not attacking the city was exactly what he wanted.

  "The lord of the castle, they probably don't know that Xiling Castle is already under your control. If things go on as before, there will definitely be internal strife within the castle." Kero said.

  Zi Bei nodded, waiting for the blizzard to arrive. Once it did, attacking the city wouldn't be so easy anymore. He didn't believe that this beastman army wouldn't suffer casualties in the blizzard. Inside the city was much better, with houses to live in and charcoal fires to warm up by.

  The blizzard came earlier than expected. It was sunny during the day, but by nightfall, strong winds howled and heavy snow fell continuously.

  Fortunately, the construction of the slum area in Xiling City is almost complete, and hundreds of thousands of poor people have moved in, no longer worrying about the wind blowing from all sides, and their homes being crushed by heavy snow.

  In the castle lord's residence, in Qi Bei's bedroom.

  A shadowy green silk hung down in front of her chest, with her back being pressed by Ziqi's single palm, unblocking the last blocked meridian.

  A fine, dense sweat dripped from the phantom's forehead, gathering and flowing down the lovely face to the swan-like jade neck, then sliding from the jade neck to the towering jade breasts tightly wrapped in thin clothes.

  The wet clothes were soaked through, clinging tightly to her body, revealing a perfect curve that was thrilling.

  However, Qi Bei was too preoccupied to appreciate it, his head surrounded by a faint golden mist, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and his face somewhat pale.

  He didn't expect that unblocking the last meridian would be so difficult.

  He often cleared two inches ahead, only to have it clog up again an inch later, which nearly exhausted his internal energy, but the meridian was only half open.

  If it is abandoned halfway, there is no need to say more. This half-opened meridian will soon be completely closed again.

  At last, Qi Bei exhausted his last bit of internal energy, but the final blocked meridian still had one-third that hadn't been unblocked.

  "Alas, my efforts have been in vain..." Qi Bei sighed softly to himself, his mind somewhat dazed. Judging from this, his current inner energy was far from sufficient to support him until he unblocked the last meridian that was sealed by the Shadow.

  But at this moment, the extremely yang energy in Ziqi's body seemed to have reached a critical point and began to boil.

  "Isn't this... now producing extremely yang fire, is this going to take my life?" Qi Bei's heart was greatly shocked, his entire body becoming bright red as if set on fire.

  Suddenly, a golden airflow flowed into the dragon seal on the palm of Ziqi's left hand.

  This flow of air was different from the inner power of Shen Long's Ultimate Yang, bringing a refreshing breath that surged into Qi Bei's dantian.

  The extremely yang gas that was about to transform into extremely yang fire was like being splashed with a small amount of cool water, calming down somewhat.

  Suddenly, Qi Bei's entire body's meridians swelled up, and immediately his muscles and bones felt as if they were being ripped apart, the intense pain twisting his handsome face into a grotesque shape, his teeth clenched in a loud chatter.

  A crisp "ding" sound, like a string being plucked in his mind, made his consciousness suddenly clearer than ever. The dragon seal pattern of the Dragon Seal flew out from his palm, circled around him once and then retreated back.

  At this time, a golden inner force suddenly appeared in the empty dantian of Qibei, and it was still increasing continuously.

  The originally vague internal force began to compress and solidify, gradually taking shape as a dragon.

  The dragon's internal force inside the dantian is very clear, its claws are distinct and solid, even the scales on its body can be seen clearly, but other parts appear somewhat vague and blurry.

  "Shen Long Jue, second layer." Qi Bei soon realized what had happened to him. He had actually broken through the constraints of the first layer of Shen Long Jue and reached the second layer just as the Extreme Yang energy was about to transform into Extreme Yang fire.

  The sudden breakthrough made his internal strength, which had been depleted to the point of exhaustion in the north, several times stronger than it was at the peak of the first layer. He naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip away and once again unblocked the meridians for the Phantom.

  At this time, the Phantom Pulse was blocked again to half, but Qi Bei didn't worry too much. With his current thick internal force, he could definitely unblock it completely.

  One inch and another inch, one third, one fifth...

  Zi Bei gritted his teeth tightly, with a faint golden glow in both eyes, and the golden mist surrounding his body vaguely took on a dragon shape.

  Finally, this meridian was completely penetrated by Qi Bei's internal force.

  "Hmm"

  A phantom suddenly spewed out a mouthful of gray misty blood.
