Chapter 235, time's almost up.
As the man's shouts rang out, the square, which had been filled with noise and cries, instantly fell silent.
The residents who were cornered by the Heavenly Punishment Legion stiffly twisted their necks like puppets, all casting their gazes in the direction of Lin Qiong.
When the residents saw Lin Qiong and his group appear in the square with weapons in hand, their faces, which had been filled with confusion and fear, immediately lit up with ecstatic joy.
"Wh...what? Did I hear that right? Did that guy just say Golden Descendant?"
"That's right, that's right! I heard it clearly, it was the Golden Descendant, he said the Golden Descendant came to save us!"
"Great! We're saved!"
The residents were in an uproar when they heard that the Golden Descendant had arrived.
They, who had been huddled in the corner trembling, stood up from the ground, repeatedly saying "We're saved."
At the same time, the man's shout also caught the attention of the Divine Punishment Legion.
They, who had originally formed a circle around the residents, immediately turned around in unison and fixed their gaze on Lin Qiong and his group.
However, when the weapons in the hands of Lin Qiong and his two companions came into the sight of this group of Heavenly Punishment Legion members.
They immediately abandoned their siege of the city's residents and instead began to converge on the direction where Lin Qiong and his group were.
"Conflict...armed...kill!"
In the ranks of the Divine Punishment Legion, a member of the Divine Punishment's retinue holding an ancient book suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Lin Qiong and the others, uttering a series of bizarre, incomprehensible murmurs.
In an instant, all the Heavenly Punishment's followers in the square rushed towards Lin Qiong and his group like mad bulls.
In an instant, their forward strides were like giant hammers, slamming heavily onto the ground and making it rumble loudly.
Seeing this terrifying scene, the man standing next to Lin Qiong turned deathly pale and hurriedly shrank to the back of the line.
"There are about fifty to sixty of them. Should you go first or should I?"
Ignoring the man's actions, Lin Qiong narrowed his eyes slightly, roughly estimated the number of the approaching Heavenly Punishment Legion, and then turned to ask the other two.
"Let's all attack together, and finish this quickly. Saving lives is the priority," Dan Heng replied succinctly.
"Ha, let's have a competition and see who takes down more!"
Xing's lips curled up slightly as she deftly twirled the baseball bat in her hand before charging headlong into the Heavenly Punishment Legion.
After taking a few steps, Xing arrived in front of a Heavenly Punishment servant whose body was covered in muscles.
"boom!"
With a muffled thud, Hoshi's baseball bat slammed into the chest of the muscular familiar.
In an instant, a terrifying force exploded in the chest of the subordinate, directly denting its massive chest, as if a wet cement floor had been stomped on.
But that wasn't all. Under her monstrous strength—enough to kill ten bulls in one breath—the familiar was sent flying backward like a baseball hit with full force.
Along the way, the slain wrathful minion knocked other wrathful minion aside, eventually embedding itself deeply into the solid stone wall not far away.
"No... as expected of the Golden Descendant, he's too strong!"
"Yes, she actually broke the Heavenly Punishment Legion's formation with just one strike!"
At this moment, the residents who had become spectators in the corner of the square, watching the Heavenly Punishment Legion whose formation had been breached by the star, couldn't help but clap their hands enthusiastically.
But before the applause had even ended, a gasp suddenly erupted from the crowd.
"Look over there! It's that Golden Descendant wielding a long spear!"
Upon hearing this, the residents' clapping stopped abruptly, and they all turned their heads, casting their gazes directly towards Dan Heng.
At this moment, Dan Heng was like a farmer harvesting wheat in the field, wielding his spear with a whooshing sound, each strike accompanied by a fierce gale.
Within his gun emplacement, the followers of the Heavenly Punishment fell in droves, unable to even get half a step closer to him.
"Hiss... That's terrifying. The skin of the Heavenly Punishment Warrior, which even steel blades couldn't cut through, was easily pierced by that Golden Blood."
"Absolutely! Look at that spear in his hand, it's practically a blur!"
"Wow, I've long heard that the Golden Descendants are all incredibly brave and powerful. Seeing them today is truly an eye-opener!"
At this moment, the residents were all cheering and applauding Xing and Danheng's heroic performance, almost forgetting the fear that the Divine Punishment Legion had previously instilled in them.
Even the young man who had previously intended to pick up the steel knife from the ground and called himself "Hanging Blade Man" couldn't help but applaud the two of them.
But at that moment...
Suddenly, a questioning voice drifted out from the crowd.
"Hey, hey, hey, look over at the plaza entrance! Why is that Golden Descendant standing there motionless?"
The residents looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lin Qiong standing quietly at the entrance of the square, holding the Calamity Annihilation Blade.
"Yes, he's been standing there since just now, without making any moves."
"Perhaps... he isn't a Golden Clan member, but rather a Holy City Guardian who happened to come to the rescue with two other Golden Clan members?"
For a moment, the residents sitting in the corner whispered among themselves, each holding their own opinion.
They engaged in a heated debate surrounding the question of whether Lin Qiong was a descendant of the Golden Clan.
However, perhaps the noise of these people's discussion reached Lin Qiong's ears.
Lin Qiong glanced up at his two companions who were relentlessly reaping kills among the enemy ranks, as well as the remaining less than thirty members of the Heavenly Punishment's Familiar.
"Looks like it's almost done."
Lin Qiong chuckled lightly, then held the Jie Mie sword upright in front of him, its tip pointing to the sky, his hands firmly gripping the hilt.
In an instant, the sword of Calamity and Annihilation turned as red as magma, emitting a strong red light from the inside out.
next second.
Flames radiating terrifying heat shot up along the sword, instantly turning the entire plaza into an oven, with even the air distorting and deforming under the scorching heat.
Upon seeing this, the residents who were still engrossed in their discussion immediately fell silent.
They stared in shock at the "pillar of fire" held by Lin Qiong, their mouths involuntarily agape, letting the sweat drip from their foreheads and into their mouths.
Unlike the previous discussions about Danheng and Xing, this time, the residents were completely silent, unable to utter a single syllable for a long time.
"Star! Back off!"
Sensing the change in temperature nearby, Dan Heng immediately shouted and swung his Cloud-Striking Sword in a sweeping motion, forcing back all the Heavenly Punishment Relatives surrounding him.
Then, he flashed in front of the residents and used the Cloud Chant Technique to gather all the water from the nearby fountains, forming a barrier in front of him.
Just as Xing retreated back to Lin Qiong's side, Lin Qiong unleashed the sword strike that had been building up for so long.
"Burn me to ashes!"
