Wu Pingjing was severely injured. If it weren’t for Councilman Zhu Meng dragging him away from the endless silver rays, he would be a deformed corpse by now.

Tang Zhong quickly came over and escorted them away. The holes on Wu Pingjing’s pale body meant he was losing blood at a crazy rate. He glanced at Councilman Zhu Meng with a feeble look and said, “Councilman, I’m afraid we are no match for the demon beast. I’ve lost the ability to fight, and you’re injured too. We should retreat to the city’s defensive barrier.”

“Nonsense! If we retreat now, who’s going to stop this monster! Do you have any idea how destructive any of its attacks are to the city? If the destructive force lands on any hospital or school, thousands of people will die!” declared Councilman Zhu Meng furiously.

Councilman Zhu Meng stared at the Silver Skyruler coldly. He couldn’t have cared less about the bleeding wound on his shoulder.

He was not a cold-blooded authority figure like the Silver Skyruler, who was willing to send thousands of its people to die in vain.

Humans were different because they were sentimental and had feelings. Every life had its own meaning.

As a Councilman, if he did not care about the millions of lives in the city and ran away just to save himself, how different was he than the demon beasts?

So what if he were injured; as long as he stopped the cruel demon beasts from invading the city, as long as he could prevent a huge number of lives from diminishing, even death would be worth it!

“These goddamned demon beasts, I’ll let you know that invading human territory is the stupidest idea you had in your whole life!” Councilman Zhu Meng clenched his teeth and activated the equipment that he had not used before.

Skythunder Royal Armor!

The battle had lasted throughout the night. The sky had slightly lit up in the east.

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky all of a sudden, lightning up the entire city. It felt like a bolt of punishment sent by God…

The astonishing lightning landed on Councilman Zhu Meng’s body. Plate armor covered with lightning arcs draped over his body, equipping itself from his head to his ankles!

It was a magnificent lightning armor set, like a gift from Heaven. A pair of fiery wings appeared on Councilman Zhu Meng’s back… He had suddenly turned into a fully-equipped knight, with control over the strongest Lightning and Fire Elements!

The Lightning and Fire Elements were the most destructive among all Elements. Councilman Zhu Meng flapped the fiery wings and charged at the Silver Skyruler. He activated another piece of equipment along the flight!

Raging flames burned on his palm. It spread wildly into his surroundings, and transformed into a red pike!

As soon as the pike appeared, a red sun rose between the mountains. Councilman Zhu Meng grabbed the pike and dashed across the sun. The pike burned fiercer as if it had been strengthened by the sunlight. The sky was dyed blazing red.

Councilman Zhu Meng was extremely tiny compared to the Silver Skyruler, but the power he held in his hand was overwhelming. The zone of feathers revolving around his figure quickly burned to ashes after reaching the flames from the pike.

Councilman Zhu Meng dashed into the Silver Skyruler’s domain. The sharp feathered blades tried to avoid contact with the flames to get closer to Councilman Zhu Meng, but they were stopped by the lightning armor.

The fiery figure dashed forward, leaving a burning trail behind. The silver defense was torn apart, as the wildfire burned half of the silver domain. Its outstanding power left Tang Zhong, Li Tian, and Yun Feng with blank faces.

The silver domain was finally broken apart. Councilman Zhu Meng had managed to break through it with the Lightning Royal Armor and the Rising Sun Pike. It was the only progress that had made since the start of the battle.

However, that alone was not enough to take the Silver Skyruler’s life.

The Silver Skyruler stared at Councilman Zhu Meng coldly, its eyes flickering with disdain. It flung its giant wings at him as he was approaching it!

Although Councilman Zhu Meng had broken into the Silver Skyruler’s domain, and even though he was using the fire and lightning on the Silver Skyruler, his power was nowhere enough to penetrate the Silver Skyruler’s defense. As the demon beast’s wing struck him, he immediately turned into a meteor with a mix of purple and red, falling rapidly from the sky!

Councilman Zhu Meng crashed at the edge of the city. The entire street was destroyed from the impact!

Luckily, the place was long evacuated. Otherwise, many innocent lives would have been lost.

Among the debris, the magic pike was now a slowly extinguishing flame. The armor had managed to save his life, but it was shattered into pieces, too.

Councilman Zhu Meng spat out mouthfuls of blood. He struggled to his feet and glared at the Silver Skyruler in the sky…

The dominator of West Ridge was far stronger than he had imagined!

Councilman Zhu Meng cast a helpless glance at the city behind him. He could imagine that the city was going to be reduced to ruins in the near future, the number of lives that would be lost…

And everything had happened because of his inability!

——

Only Commander Yun Feng, Elder Li Tian, and Tang Zhong remained in the sky. Among them, only Yun Feng’s strength was slightly stronger than Councilman Zhu Meng. The rest were still not adept when it came to using Super Magic.

While they were clueless of what to do, a deafening roar was heard from the direction of the city. A black mist rose into the air, carrying a gigantic snake the size of a skyscraper.

The snake broke through the army of White Magic Falcons. None of them dared to get close to him due to the poisonous mist around him. He was flying rapidly to where the Silver Skyruler was.

The Silver Skyruler had placed its attention at the ground throughout the battle. The Black Totem Snake was exactly what it was worried about.

When the Black Totem Snake reached the same height as the Silver Skyruler, it immediately cried out, as if it were scared of the Black Totem Snake getting close to it.

It continuously summoned its white army nearby, which again flew at the Black Totem Snake like moths flying into a flame. They all slammed into the poisonous mist.

The Silver Skyruler had its domain of sharp feathers, which left the Super Magicians totally helpless. Similarly, the Black Totem Snake also had an incomparable domain, the barrier of poisonous gas!
