Chapter 211 The Eldest Son of the Sirius King
With a stomp of his foot, Song Chen transformed into a golden-purple lightning bolt, crashing straight into the horde of beasts engaged in battle in front of the ice wall.
In front of the ice wall was a meat grinder stretching for several kilometers, where the Sirius Clan and the Ice Demon Clan were locked in a fierce battle, their positions and battle lines becoming indistinguishable as they fought, with only one group of strange beasts tearing each other apart.
The outer perimeter is occupied by vassals of the two races, including polar snow bears, ice-spine dragon lizards, frost-winged eagles, and ice field giant scorpions, among other polar beasts caught up in the battle.
Some helped Sirius, some helped Ice Demon, and many more were indiscriminately crushed by the main forces of both sides who were blinded by rage.
The spot where Song Chen crashed into happened to be the most densely populated area of the Sirius Clan.
The lightning field was fully deployed, and a spherical lightning field with a diameter of 120 meters exploded in the beast horde. Golden-purple electric arcs leaped and licked the gray-white fur of the celestial wolves.
The third and fourth-tier wolves didn't even have time to scream before they were carbonized. Their fur and flesh evaporated instantly in the electric current, leaving only a charred skeleton that stood there for half a second before being smashed to pieces by the horde of beasts surging up from behind.
[A Tier 3 alien beast has been killed, gaining 445 kill points.]
[A Tier 3 alien beast has been killed, gaining 774 kill points.]
[A fourth-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 3222 kill points.]
……
The system notification sounds exploded in his mind, but he didn't pay attention to count them.
The lightning field carved a scorched corridor through the beast horde. He traversed the corridor, and with each strike of the Heavenly Blade, he took away a target of level four or higher.
With the Eye of Truth fully activated, the muscles and bones of the alien beasts became transparent grids in the field of vision, the psionic cores were marked as red dots, and the attack trajectories were projected in advance as golden dotted lines.
He doesn't need to look; he just needs to follow those dotted lines.
The Ice Demon's archers stood on the ice wall, watching the golden-purple lightning bolt rampage through the beast horde, their vertical pupils wide with astonishment.
An Ice Demon centurion roared at his lieutenant in the Ice Demon language, roughly translating to: "Who is that little human?"
No one answered it.
Song Chen continued to fight his way deeper into the battlefield. His original goal was simply to clear out the outer perimeter, but as he fought, his Eye of Truth caught sight of something that shouldn't be on the battlefield.
The Ice Demon warriors communicate with each other using mental energy when charging, and the Sirius tribe does the same.
Under the analysis of the Eye of Truth, the contents of these mental communications were partially captured, like a few clear words occasionally floating out from the static of a radio.
"The eldest son of the Sirius King... the deputy leader... has broken through the second line of defense..."
"Elder Giant Claw is dead... torn to pieces by the eldest son of the Sirius King..."
"If the third line of defense is breached, the Greenland ice sheet will be gone... Where is the king...?"
Song Chen's movements did not stop, but the fragments of mental energy automatically pieced together in his consciousness.
Eldest son of the Sirius King, and deputy leader.
He suddenly realized something: the Sirius King had an eldest son.
I saw it in the intelligence summary of the Northern Expedition Command. He is said to be the future heir of the Sirius Clan, at the peak of the fifth rank, just one step away from the sixth rank.
This expedition against the Ice Demon is the largest military operation of the Sirius Clan in recent years, and the future Sirius King cannot possibly be left out.
And it is right here on this battlefield.
He pushed the analytical power of the Eye of Truth to its current limit.
The fragments of mental energy are increasing, and the information is becoming clearer.
"The deputy leader has already broken through the Ice Demon's left flank."
"It is leading its personal guard towards the Ice Demon King's tent."
"Two Ice Demon Elders died under its claws."
The last fragment of mental energy originated from a fleeing ice demon, whose mental fluctuations were filled with fear and contained extremely clear information.
"The eldest son of the Sirius King, peak fifth rank, with twelve fifth-rank Sirius guards, located in the third defense zone on the left flank of the Ice Demon."
Song Chen slashed down a fourth-tier wolf blocking his path with a single blow, and as he drew his sword, his gaze swept into the depths of the battlefield.
The sixth-tier auras of Zhou Wangyue and Qin Zhen clashed violently on the ice plains tens of kilometers away. The sound of Matvey's warhammer came from another direction. All the sixth-tier grandmasters were already entangled by the high-end combat forces of the Sirius Clan and the Ice Demon Clan.
No one was available, and if a sixth-tier Grandmaster got close to that location, the eldest son of the Sirius King would immediately become alert and either run away or summon the other sixth-tier members of the Sirius Clan.
It must be a fifth-tier attacker, one that won't attract the attention of a sixth-tier attacker and can silently traverse the battlefield.
He held the Heavenly Blade horizontally in front of him, and a bolt of lightning from the Nine Heavens leaped across its blade.
"The third defense zone on the left flank," he muttered to himself.
The soaring movement unfolded in the frigid polar winds, and Song Chen's figure blended into the omnipresent air currents on the icy plains.
The wave-absorbing coating of the Northern Darkness Armor suppressed his psionic energy fluctuations to a minimum, and the dark armor plates were faintly visible in the gray-white ice mist.
He glided along the edge of the ice crevice, bypassed a fourth-tier celestial wolf that was tearing apart the corpse of an ice demon, and passed through the gap between the intertwined bodies of three ice-spine dragon lizards, leaving no trace of the wind-elemental energy beneath his feet on the ice surface.
The further you go to the left wing, the more corpses of the Ice Demons you'll find.
The silver-gray, long-haired ice demon warrior was torn to pieces, his limbs and bone fragments frozen on the ice.
The ice wall had long since collapsed, and the defensive fortifications built by the ice demon were shattered from the front by some enormous force, leaving five parallel claw marks at the break.
Each claw mark was more than two meters long, cutting deep into the ice, with the ice crystals at the edges still oozing cold air.
Song Chen followed the claw marks and felt forward. His Eye of Truth continuously captured the fragments of spiritual energy on the battlefield. Most of them were noise, but there was one extremely clear spiritual fluctuation among them.
Unlike ordinary beasts that are chaotic and violent, this one is cold, restrained, and possesses a kind of rationality that is almost human.
Song Chen had only ever seen this kind of mental strength trait in the Beast King.
He knew where it was, climbed over a collapsed ice wall, and then he saw it.
On a cleared ice surface, a Sirius, twice the size of an ordinary Sirius, is crouching on a raised ice rock.
Its fur is a very light silver-gray, with a faint metallic sheen under the grayish sunlight. The muscles on its shoulder blades rise and fall under the fur, and each breath carries a precise sense of power.
The biggest difference between it and ordinary Sirius is its eyes. Instead of the ice blue or grayish-white common in Sirius, it has a pair of deep amber vertical pupils with a very fine golden pattern deep in the pupil.
A corpse lay at its feet.
It was an Ice Demon Elder, with a large hole torn in its chest, its ribs turned outwards, and its heart was gone.
His right arm was torn off at the root, with five claw marks remaining at the break, exactly the same as the claw marks on the ice wall.
Song Chen stopped fifty meters away.
At this distance, the Eye of Truth can clearly see every muscle texture and the path of spiritual energy circulation in Sirius.
The eldest son of the Sirius King has his psionic center not in his chest cavity, but in his skull. His muscle density is more than three times that of an ordinary fifth-tier Sirius, his skeletal structure is extremely dense, and his joint flexibility far exceeds that of an ordinary Sirius.
Peak of the fifth rank, half a step towards the sixth rank.
He wasn't a pseudo-peak like the Earth Dragon King, who relied on devouring external objects to reach his peak; he was a true royal bloodline who fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
He held his breath and glided forward silently using his ethereal movements.
Forty meters.
Thirty meters.
The eldest son of the Sirius King was bowing his head and tearing at the remains of the Ice Demon Elder.
Its mouth gaped open, revealing two rows of sharp teeth longer than daggers. It bit into the Ice Demon Elder's hand bone, chewed twice, and spat out a piece of finger bone.
The Ice Demon Elder's blood condensed into ice crystals at the corner of its mouth.
It raised its right forepaw and licked the bloodstains on the back of its paw with a calm and collected motion.
Twenty meters.
Song Chen gripped the hilt of the Tianjun Blade with his right hand. The blade was not drawn, but the Nine Heavens Thunder was already poised to strike. The sound of the thunder surging through his meridians was completely blocked by the Beiming Battle Armor.
He used the Soaring Body Technique to glide through the last ten meters, his figure emerging from the shadow of an ice crack. The action of drawing the Heavenly Blade and activating the Lightning Domain were synchronized.
Then the eldest son of the Sirius King turned his head.
Those vertical pupils had already locked onto Song Chen's location 0.5 seconds before he drew his sword.
It was combat instinct, the combat instinct of the royal bloodline, which triggered the alarm as soon as Song Chen entered the twenty-meter range.
It released the ice demon remains from its claws, pushed off with its hind legs, and slid its massive body backward thirty meters across the ice. When it landed, its four claws plowed four shallow furrows into the ice without making a sound.
It stood thirty meters away and tilted its head slightly.
Song Chen was a little disappointed, as his sneak attack had failed.
