The beastmen let out a deafening roar.
It was not a cheer, but rather one of anger and concern.
Clearly, they were worried about the situation of their prince.
Zhao Xiangxue had been in Jinguo City for the past ten days.
It was unclear how many top experts the beastmen had gathered, but it was likely no less than ten.
Although the number of top-tier fighters on Cloud Summit had also increased, due to the ongoing wars on Earth and in the Desert Secret Realm, it was impossible to fully mobilize them here.
Thus, there was undoubtedly a gap compared to the beastmen.
To prevent the beastmen from using their high-end combat power for a strong assault, Cloud Summit had not only five top-tier warriors among the captains of the ten battle teams from the two cities but had also deployed two avoidance action squad leaders, bringing the number of nine-star evolvers here to seven.
Along with Yang Feng, a similarly top-tier battle beast, eight top-level existences had now gathered in the two cities.
Although they were still outnumbered by the beastmen outside the city, at least they no longer felt fear.
The person engulfed in flames was, of course, Zhao Xiangxue, the flame sprite master.
Seeing that the copper kettle was being suppressed by the beastman prince, she immediately chose to take action.
Zhao Xiangxue's profession as a flame sprite master was incredibly powerful, and at least in Ye Zhongming's eyes, it was one of the strongest attack professions during the apocalypse.
Because he understood this profession very well, Ye Zhongming had been seeking ways to compensate for its weaknesses ever since he obtained the scroll and handed it to Zhao Xiangxue.
For instance, the flame sprite master required extremely high mental power, especially when in transformation mode, so Ye Zhongming looked for ways to enhance her mental strength.
Moreover, when the flame sprite master activated her abilities, only water and ice attributes could harm her, so Ye Zhongming did everything possible to improve Zhao Xiangxue's resilience in those two areas, both through equipment and physical enhancements.
This made Zhao Xiangxue exceptionally powerful. Once activated, she became almost invincible; while there were ways to defeat her, killing her was incredibly difficult.
This was the avoidance action squad leader, now at a nearly perfected state, a hallmark figure of this mysterious organization.
If possible, Zhao Xiangxue would not want to act just yet, as her area attack skills could be even more effective during a counterattack later.
However, the beastman prince was simply too annoying. If he continued to rampage on the city walls, the losses for Cloud Summit would be too great. So, after seeing the copper kettle in distress, she stepped forward immediately.
The combination of nine-star and the highest level flame sprite master allowed Zhao Xiangxue to unleash an unimaginable destructive power.
The wooden sculpture formed by the beastman prince and the surrounding wooden spikes were almost instantly ignited, and the smell of roasted meat even filled the air.
The beastman prince quickly returned to his original state, looking terrified as he glanced at the flame figure hovering not far above the city wall, then turned and jumped down towards the outside of the city.
His mount caught him in time, and they quickly fled the area.
Zhao Xiangxue's flying speed could not compare to some flying battle beasts. She glanced regretfully at the escaping beastman prince, thinking how he really couldn’t take a hit, and then looked up at the sky.
At that moment, the beastman air force completely held the advantage over the sky above the city wall.
Although some city wall artillery and magic crystal cannons on the watchtower were still attacking them, the intensity of their attacks had decreased significantly, with more Cloud Summit warriors and city defense equipment dealing with the siege forces below.
Zhao Xiangxue did not move, remaining suspended in the air, then brought her hands together with her head slightly bowed, seemingly in a trance.
