The potency of the Beast Soul Lure drug continued to spread, causing the demonic beast army to grow larger and larger.
The Giant Stone Demon attacked those demonic beasts, and those demonic beasts naturally attacked the Giant Stone Demon in response.
However, the attacks of the lower ranked demonic beasts, corresponding to ranks three and four, were completely useless to it. The Giant Stone Demon felt like it was being tickled.
Luo Tian was much more relaxed with the Giant Stone Demon helping him.
But he wasn’t idle and had summoned the Fire Qilin. Killing demonic beasts was the best way to gain yuan energy. The Ancient Tree was a bottomless pit, and to nurture it, he had to prepare an unlimited amount of yuan energy.
Compared to before, the Fire Qilin’s attack had improved a lot.
Its health had also increased.
Luo Tian was holding his Heaven Sword with the Fire Qilin on his left, and the Giant Stone Demon on his right. These two extremely strong battle pets roamed unhindered, like crabs, walking sideways in an extremely domineering manner. Everywhere they went, there were only corpses of demonic beasts.
But there were simply too many demonic beasts, too many for them to kill.
Luo Tian was excited but was also secretly worried.
These low ranking demonic beasts didn’t pose a threat to him, but they could exhaust his stamina. Stamina wasn’t something you could restore just by leveling up; it needed time to rest and food to fill your stomach to recover.
“This isn’t a long-term solution.”
Luo Tian instantly killed a rank three demonic beast, then moved his Heaven Sword to stab another demonic beast with low health. Looking at the increasing number of demonic beasts around him, this was the first time Luo Tian was getting apprehensive about having too many demonic beasts to kill.
“This won’t do!”
“I have to find a place to rest, or I’ll be exhausted to death.” Luo Tian said to himself.
He then locked onto a direction, and mentally commanded the Fire Qilin and the Giant Stone Demon, “Clear a path to the left for me.”
“Fwoosh~!”
“Roar~!”
The two super battle pets quickly cleared a path like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Luo Tian conserved his stamina, closely following behind.
Half an hour later.
Luo Tian arrived at a concave-shaped mountain pass that was surrounded by huge rocks. This was a perfect natural barrier.
“I have to restore my stamina as soon as possible.”
If he keeps fighting all night, his stamina won’t be able to keep up. Then, he definitely wouldn’t be able to unleash his full strength during tomorrow’s siege. ℞𝖆ΝŐ₿ΕꞨ
“You two; attract all the demonic beasts here and keep killing them!”
After giving the command, Luo Tian walked to a corner and immediately sat down cross-legged. On the way to this mountain pass, he casually picked up a few pieces of bloody demonic beast meat. Not caring that it was raw, he ate it just like that, devouring the demonic beast’s essence blood as well.
The demonic beast’s essence blood had a very rich replenishment effect, and could quickly restore one’s stamina.
His stamina was recovering, and his pets continued fighting.
His experience points and yuan energy were also slowly increasing.
Time slowly passed by.
A sliver of dawn appeared in the east, marking the beginning of a new day.
Boundless City was intact.
Not even a single demonic beast had approached the city because before they could even get close, they were dealt with by the two super battle pets.
This also bought Bai Lingling and the others enough time to restore their yuan energy.
The pills Luo Tian had refined also helped.
Over the course of one night, their stamina and yuan energy had mostly recovered.
On the city walls.
Yin Wuliang was becoming increasingly annoyed. He couldn’t understand the situation. Ten barrels of Beast Soul Lure, yet not a single demonic beast had made its way to Boundless City. They were all crushed to death by two demonic beasts? Is that even possible?
The martial artists on the city walls, the guards, and even the common people in the city were gradually calming down. They were all discussing what had happened outside the city.
Who was protecting them?
They all knew that it definitely wasn’t something the city lord of Boundless City did because they were well aware that it was he who ordered his people to light up the barrels of Beast Soul Lure. The city lord was basically playing with their lives.
In their hearts, they deeply resented this city lord.
The fiery red sun slowly rose.
The people’s vision became clearer.
The potency of the Beast Soul Lure slowly dissipated, and the number of demonic beasts decreased.
Yin Wuliang stood on the city wall, constantly searching but couldn’t find Luo Tian’s figure. The corners of his mouth curved up into a sneer, “I thought you were very powerful. In the end, you still ended up dying, hahaha…”
Deng Wumu also happily laughed along.
All around the base of the mountain were the corpses of demonic beasts, but Luo Tian was nowhere to be seen.
He must be dead. There was no way he could still be alive.
He hadn’t appeared since after midnight. Clearly, that meant he was no longer of this world.
Chen Dongfeng sighed before smiling bitterly, “A great talent is gone just like that. What a pity.”
“Sigh~…”
“Old Chen, let’s go. We haven’t slept all night. Let’s rest well today, and tomorrow we’ll do what needs to be done.”
“En~, let’s go.”
Someone on the city wall suddenly exclaimed, “Look, there’s someone walking towards us!”
As soon as the voice faded, the people on the city wall fell silent, and everyone looked out.
Because the distance was too far away, they couldn’t see who it was at all.
However, it was a single person with no demonic beasts or battle pets around.
Yin Wuliang sneered, “Just a passerby!”
In his heart, he was certain that there was no way Luo Tian could be alive. Even he, himself, wouldn’t have been able to survive the night.
The figure got closer and closer.
In the light of the early morning sun, there was a red glow around the person’s body, as if they were wearing a large red robe.
A surprised voice suddenly came from below the city wall, “It’s him!”
Immediately after, all of the Bai family disciples stood up in unison. They were lined up in a row, their eyes filled with respect, admiration, and gratitude. At the same time, the fighting spirit within them began to slowly burn.
A new day had arrived! The siege was about to begin!
“He’s not dead!”
“It’s Luo Tian!”
Deng Wumu almost couldn’t believe his eyes. He stretched his neck and poked his head out, looking at the figure on the road. Even in his dreams, he wanted this person eliminated because he was a major concern for the Deng family. He wished he could eat Luo Tian’s flesh and drink his blood. He was clenching his teeth so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard. “How could he still be alive?!”
Yin Wuliang was furious.
He felt as if he had suffered the greatest humiliation ever!
So many demonic beasts still couldn’t kill Luo Tian? How many lives did this kid have?
But Yin Wuliang’s expression also turned grim. He clenched his fists, his knuckles popping, and he coldly snorted loudly, “If I were you, I would have run as far as I could and never come back! I didn’t expect you to come back to die!”
Luo Tian walked to the city walls, not even glancing at Yin Wuliang. He then used his yuan energy to amplify his voice, “Yin Wuliang, you are too sinister! You have attracted countless demonic beasts for your own selfish desires, which is equivalent to abandoning the city’s people! You are not worthy to be the city lord!”
Yin Wuliang was briefly stunned before finding the situation amusing. He then said, “I’m not worthy to be the city lord? Could it be that you want to be the city lord instead?”
Luo Tian’s lips curled into a smile before replying, “Exactly! From today onward, you are no longer the city lord of Boundless City!”
Yin Wuliang burst into laughter before saying, “Are you sleep-talking? You truly overestimate yourself…”
Before he could finish the sentence, Luo Tian shouted, “All Bai family disciples listen up! Prepare to attack the city!”
