When the beast tide came, they were powerless.
When the beast tide receded, they contributed their own strength and helped take care of the injured.
Those who understood some medical arts were responsible for cooking medicine, while women, children, and the elderly were responsible for bandaging and cleaning the wounds. The strong youths helped clean up the battlefield.
The two walked in silence, looking at the scenes of East Field City, and each felt deeply moved.
A five or six-year-old girl, dressed in coarse cloth, brought a bowl of water to them, trembling.
“My grandpa said that you two are the protectors of East Field City. You must be very thirsty after fighting for a whole day and night, so Ah Lian is here to give you some water.”
Upon seeing this, Xiao Chen was silent for a while, looking around. He saw the admiration and hope in the eyes of the citizens around him.
Protectors!
Xiao Chen’s body trembled involuntarily, and a flash of light that was hard to detect appeared in his eyes. He concealed it well and quickly regained his composure.
The always cold and silent Xiao Chen unexpectedly smiled. He gently lowered his head and rubbed the reddened cheeks of the little girl in front of him, saying softly, “We are not tired or thirsty, but there are many heroes behind us who need this water.”
“Okay, big brother.” The little girl replied sweetly and carefully carried the bowl of water to an injured person.
As they turned the corner of the street, Lu Yun laughed and said, “Just now,
Xiao Chen was different from the one I’ve seen before.”
Xiao Chen’s steps suddenly slowed, his eyes flickering.
“Perhaps the real Xiao Chen is the one we just saw.
After speaking, Xiao Chen quickened his pace.
“What a mystery!”
Lu Yun muttered and quickly caught up.
Back in the army tent, Xiao Chen didn’t say a word to Lu Yun, and immediately began cultivating using spirit crystals.
Generally, a True Qi Realm martial artist would take at least ten days to half a month to fully refine a spirit crystal.
However, Lu Yun noticed that Xiao Chen’s refining speed was very fast.
The surging spiritual energy crazily transferred from the spirit crystal to Xiao Chen’s body. At this rate, a spirit crystal would not last him a few days of cultivation.
This speed was almost three or four times faster than others.
“Why does his talent not seem like a top-ranked Level 5 innate talent at all?”
With this question in mind, Lu Yun also found a place to sit cross-legged.
Everyone has their secrets. Although he was curious, Lu Yun did not want to dig deeper.
When it came to secrets, no one held more than he did.
After cultivating for an hour, Lu Yun’s body shook, and a powerful aura erupted. He had evidently already recovered to his peak state.
Without the use of spirit crystals, he could recover his aggressive aura within an hour, showing the terror of the Pure Yang Martial Arts Canon.
Instead of ending his cultivation, he entered the Sea of Consciousness Space.
In this gray space, the light emitted by the blood-colored lotus platform was particularly eye-catching.
His gaze fell on the blood-colored lotus platform.
Above the platform, the first petal that bloomed was swaying, absorbing the gray mist in the space and exhaling a bloody red gas, coiling and filling the surroundings of the blood-colored lotus platform.
“Has nothing changed?”
Seeing that there was still only one blooming petal, Lu Yun couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.
On the panel, the progress of the Slaughter Conception had increased to First Rank 15%. He thought that even if the second petal hadn’t bloomed, there should be some movement.
But now, the outcome was different from what he had imagined.
“No matter, reaching Second Rank is still a long road ahead. It has to come step by step.”
Thousands of miles east of East Field Giant City, in the endless mountain range.
Here, there was a vast gathering of demon beasts, and at the forefront of the demon beast army were a group of Level 5 demon beasts.
Flaming Frenzied Lion, Green-Scaled Giant Eagle, Great Strength Demon Ape, Monohorn Wild Boar, Melted Gold Rat, and others; each of their bodies was permeated with a terrifying demon energy.
In front of them stood a bull-headed, human-bodied demon beast that was five or six stories tall – the Black-pupiled Demon Bull.
Although its body was not as large as the Flaming Frenzied Lion and other Level 5 demon beasts, the terrible demon energy it exuded was like a dark cloud, making the other beasts crawl in submission.
At this time, a huge and burly figure emerged from the depths of the mountain range, gradually approaching.
When it came closer, its true form was revealed to the eyes of the demon beasts.
It was a Demonic Ape, towering and burly, appearing more powerful than the Black-pupiled Demon Bull in its full beast form.
This Demonic Ape did not transform into a human form, remaining as a complete beast. Its pair of green eyes flashed with green light, and its body was enveloped in black demon energy. It carried a pitch-black as ink stick on its thick and powerful shoulders. With each step forward of its mountain-like body, the earth rumbled thunderously.
When the Green Pupil Demon Ape arrived, the other demon beasts immediately showed their submission, with the exception of the Black-pupiled Demon Bull.
With a heavy thrust, the stick was inserted into the ground, which caused the earth to shake and tremble, making it difficult for the beasts to stand steady, and they roared in panic.
Old Bull, did you get any results from this trial?” The Green Pupil Demon Ape asked with a deep voice.
“Zhuang Zijin, the defender of the city, has become stronger. If it weren’t for my thick skin and flesh, 1 would’ve probably not been his opponent.”
A glint flashed in the eyes of the Black-pupiled Demon Bull as it continued, “However, 1 can confirm that there is no second Golden Body Realm expert in East Field Giant City. If we join forces, we will definitely be able to kill Zhuang Zijin and break through East Field Giant City.”
Upon hearing this, the Green Pupil Demon Ape’s eyes lit up.
“The Nine Mountain Demon King has ordered that if it is confirmed that there is no support in East Field Giant City, we must kill Zhuang Zijin, break through East Field City, and then go to the nearest Qingyang Giant City. By then, the City will also launch an attack from the outside to cooperate with us.”
“That’s great.”
The Black-pupiled Demon Bull looked back at the demon beasts behind it and ordered, “Flaming, Wind Howling, Great Ape, Tyrant Pig, Gold Rat, Silver Wolf, and Fire Tiger – you seven each lead an army of ten thousand demon soldiers and are responsible for entangling the human army outside the city.”
ir
Yes.”
Seven Level 5 demon beasts responded respectfully.
“Qinglin, Ape Fly, Gray Wolf, Iron Mania, you four each lead an army of ten thousand and are responsible for leveling East Field Giant City for me.”
“Yes.” The four Level 5 demon beasts took their orders respectfully.
After assigning the troops, the Black-pupiled Demon Bull felt proud and said to the Green Pupil Demon Ape beside it, “Old Ape, how about it?”
The Green Pupil Demon Ape appeared very calm and analyzed with his deep voice, “While the demon beast army is important, the key still lies with you and me. If we cannot kill Zhuang Zijin, I’m afraid that all our efforts will ultimately end in failure.”
“With you, Old Ape, Zhuang Zijin is as good as dead!”
The Black-pupiled Demon Bull stomped its hooves, and terrifying demon energy surged to the sky. The surrounding terrain shook with the force of an earthquake, and the demon beasts roared in fury.
“All demons, let’s go! Break through East Field Giant City!”
As the Black-pupiled Demon Bull gave the order,
Flaming Frenzied Lion, Wind Howling Demon Wolf, Great Strength Demon Ape, Single-Horned Tyrant Pig, Melted Gold Rat, Silver Winged Demon Wolf, and Purple Flame Tyrant Tiger raced out of the vast mountain range with their demon armies in tow.
Among them, the Great Strength Demon Ape had the largest size, with its body nearly a hundred feet tall, hardly inferior to the sixth-rank Green Pupil Demon Ape.
No doubt, the Swiftest was the Silver Winged Demon Wolf, which ran as if it had a pair of silver wings fluttering. It rapidly rushed through the dense forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The other five Level 5 demon beasts also had their own strengths and each led the demon army to return to the East Field Giant City.
“Whoosh.”
The Green-Scaled Giant Eagle screamed and shouted, “All demons, follow me in the charge! Kill the human martial artists, level East Field Giant City, and exterminate the Human Race!”
Immediately after, with a shake of its wings, the Green-Scaled Giant Eagle soared into the sky, followed by countless birds. The sky was filled to the point of suffocation.
In a blink of an eye, nearly a hundred thousand demon beast soldiers rushed out of the mountain range.
After enduring countless beast waves, East Field Giant City still stood like an invincible beast, sitting at the border of the endless wilderness and the human region.
As the dusk fell, the golden sunset colored the sky red. A few rays of the setting sun sprinkled down through the clouds, draping a golden veil over the East Field Giant City.
Outside the city, the wounded and disabled soldiers had been completely cleared, with countless new faces joining the army.
That Golden Body Realm powerhouse wearing golden armor was like a keystone, sitting cross-legged in front of the huge army. Under the illumination of the setting sun, his golden spear released a dazzling light, which brought great reassurance to the soldiers behind him.
Zhuang Zijin, this general guarding the city, had been stationed in East Field Giant City for decades, never allowing any demon beasts to enter the human territory through the city.
At this moment, as if sensing something, the golden snake spear at his side trembled and emitted a soft whistling sound.
Whoosh!
Zhuang Zijin’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened wide, and his gaze pierced deep into the endless wilderness.
“Has it finally come?”
As he stood up, with a solemn gaze and his battle robe fluttering in the windless air, the golden spear spun in the sky and fell steadily into his hand.
“Sound the drums, prepare for battle!”
With a single command, Zhuang Zijin, holding his long spear and clad in his battle robe, soared into the sky..
