Chapter 216 Sirius King Augsa
Song Chen heard this, but he didn't even turn around. He simply tilted the wolf head in his left hand upwards to find a more comfortable grip.
Then, facing another wave of surging Sirius beasts, he unleashed his lightning domain once more, and the Heavenly Blade hummed excitedly amidst golden-purple arcs of electricity.
Those wolves who were forced to attack by death order saw him charging towards them with the deputy leader's head; some rushed forward in a frenzy, while others instinctively retreated.
But the death order overcame the instinctive fear, and retreat was forbidden.
So they can only rush upwards. And then they crash into his blade.
[A fourth-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 5589 kill points.]
[A fourth-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 4411 kill points.]
……
After such a long and intense battle, a normal early-stage fifth-tier martial artist would have long since exhausted their vital energy.
Song Chen was still at his peak. His kill points could be directly exchanged for Qi and Blood Recovery Pills in the system shop. He killed, exchanged, and consumed them at the same time, and the rate of consumption and replenishment was almost equal.
The ice walls of the Ice Demon Camp were already appearing on the horizon.
Ice Demons' ice crystal arrows rained down from the sky, landing precisely in front of the Sky Wolf's pursuing force, exploding into rows of ice spikes behind him and blocking the pursuers' advance.
Several wolves that charged at the front were pierced by ice spikes and pinned to the ice.
Song Chen accelerated in the last kilometer in front of the ice wall.
A trail of white icy mist swirled behind him as he carried Solock's wolf head in one hand and stepped over the corpse of the Ice Spine Dragon Lizard, passing between two collapsed ice demon bunkers.
The Ice Demon archers automatically made way for him, and not a single Ice Demon fired an arrow at him; all the arrows flew towards the Sky Wolf pursuers behind him.
When he leaped onto the main ice wall of the Ice Demon camp, blood was still dripping from Thorok's wolf head.
He placed the wolf's head on the edge of the ice wall, turned around, and looked at the retreating army of wolves outside the ice wall.
The sixth-tier Sirius stopped a few kilometers outside the ice wall defense line and did not pursue further.
Its spiritual power swept across the depths of the Ice Demon camp. The high-level combat power of the Ice Demon Clan was gathering. Further pursuit would be like venturing too far alone, while the main force of the Sky Wolf Clan was still hundreds of kilometers away.
It raised its head and let out a long, mournful howl, this time a signal to retreat.
The Sirius army began to retreat.
The gray-white wolf pack retreated from the Ice Demon Defense Line like a receding tide, and regrouped in the distance.
The Ice Demon Warriors stood on the ice wall, watching Sirius retreat. No one cheered, for they felt another, even more terrifying pressure approaching from the north.
Sirius is almost here.
Song Chen stood on the ice wall, his left hand resting on the silver-gray fur of the Solock wolf's head, and his right hand gripping the Heavenly Blade.
He looked up to the north, and through the polar ice and mist, his Eye of Truth saw a massive, silver-gray figure, as large as a mountain, rapidly approaching at the horizon.
Peak sixth rank, Lord of the Sirius Clan, Augsa.
Its spiritual power had enveloped the entire battlefield, and the air was filled with an extremely heavy sense of oppression, like the silence before a blizzard.
Behind him, the horns of the Ice Demons finally sounded, deep, long, and desolate with the chill of the polar winds.
That wasn't a celebratory horn; it was a horn to prepare for a battle against the peak of the sixth tier.
On the ice wall, Song Chen suddenly felt a gaze upon him.
Projected from the far north, it passed through the ice fog and smoke of the battlefield, through the layers of defensive fortifications of the Ice Demons, over the still-bleeding wolf head on the ice wall's ramparts, and landed steadily on him.
He looked up and saw a massive, silver-white wolf, as large as a mountain, standing at the horizon.
Its size far exceeded that of the sixth-tier celestial wolf that had been chasing him all the way. It was over 500 meters long from head to tail, and its four limbs were like four giant pillars supporting the sky, standing on the ice field.
Its fur was pure silver-white, gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen under the greyish-white sunlight of the polar day.
What's most terrifying are its eyes: two amber vertical pupils, and deep within the pupils, instead of the fine halos of Solock's pupils, are two burning golden flames.
Sirius King, Augsar, one of humanity's greatest enemies.
It stood at the very front of the Sirius army, with hundreds of thousands of gray-white wolves behind it.
Augsa did not move, roar, release any pressure, or issue any mental commands.
He simply stood there, his vertical pupils, burning with golden flames, staring intently at the human on the ice wall.
If the main force hadn't been still in the rear, it would have charged forward immediately.
The Ice Demon camp was completely silent.
The ice demon warriors on the ice wall were trembling as they gripped their weapons, while the ice demon archers tried to release an arrow, but their fingers were frozen on the bowstring, unable to pull it back.
Song Chen stared into those golden, flame-like vertical pupils for a full three seconds.
Then he raised his right hand, past the breastplate, past the shoulder armor stained with blue blood, past the still-dripping wolf head at his feet, and gave the middle finger in the direction of the Sirius King.
He flicked his middle finger upwards, a slight grin spreading across his face: "Hey, Sirius, want your son's head? Then come and get it."
The ice demon warriors standing on the ice wall all turned to look at him, their faces showing expressions as if they had all been stabbed by an ice spike.
Several vice-captains of the ice demon archers dropped their arrows onto the ice, bent down to pick them up, their eyes never leaving the human's back.
They were all high-level beasts, so they naturally understood the Great Xia language, but the human's words made them unable to believe their ears.
Sirius King didn't react at all; his vertical pupils, burning with golden flames, narrowed slightly.
Song Chen withdrew his hand, turned around and patted the shoulder of an ice demon warrior next to him.
The soldier shuddered as he was slapped, looking down at the human who only reached his shoulder, his eyes filled with confusion.
Song Chenchong pointed to the wolf's head on the ground: "Keep an eye on it for me, don't let the birds get it."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the entrance of the ice wall stairs without looking back.
The ice demon warriors on the ice wall automatically made way for him.
The way they looked at him was no longer that of an ally, but that of a madman.
A madman who dared to give the middle finger to the Sirius King, stored the head of the Sirius King's eldest son as luggage, and even asked the Ice Demon Warrior to watch over the wolf's head before leaving.
The Ice Demon Clan's Grand Elder, Gulbak, was standing at the top of the steps of the main ice wall, staring at Song Chen with hostile eyes.
Song Chen glanced at it and found that its aura was even stronger than Zhou Wangyue's, and about the same as Qi Shanhe's. Moreover, it was not the strongest of the Ice Demon Clan.
It seems the Ice Demon Clan has some real strength to challenge the Sky Wolf Clan.
Gulbach stopped in front of Song Chen, looked down at him and said, "Human, you shouldn't have humiliated the Sirius King."
"You shouldn't have cut off Solock's head, carried it across the battlefield, and placed it on the ice wall. You shouldn't have done that."
Song Chen looked into its eyes. His Eye of Insight had already detected the subtle change in its spiritual energy fluctuations when it said those words. The anger was feigned, but the worry was real.
Gulbak wasn't speaking up for the Sirius King; he was worried that the feud between the Ice Demon and the Sirius King had been taken too far by this human, to the point that there would be no room for reconciliation.
The Ice Demon Clan is only asking for help, not forming an alliance, much less intending to completely break ties with the Sky Wolf Clan.
This human not only killed Sirius King's eldest son, but also hung his head on the ice wall as a flagpole, which is equivalent to putting a nail that can never be removed between the Ice Demon and Sirius.
