A ripple appeared in the secret realm, and three drops of secret realm blood and a badge of eternal night floated silently between Jiang Yuan and Liu Zhaodi.

"You can keep the stuff, I don't want it!" Liu Zhaodi said tactfully when she saw Jiang Yuan's eyes sweep over her.

She dared not accept anything. Her joining had already boosted the ratings considerably, and she hadn't actually helped at all. She would feel guilty if she took anything from them.

"I'll share them with you later!" Jiang Yuan put the items away. He didn't have much time left for his Five Elements Ring, and he didn't know the situation outside the secret realm, so he couldn't afford to waste any more time.

"Then let's go out now!"

Liu Zhaodi naturally leaned closer, her outstretched arms clearly indicating that she wanted Jiang Yuan to carry her out.

"good!"

Jiang Yuan responded and shattered the dilapidated secret realm with a single shot, instantly appearing the two on the altar.

However, Liu Zhaodi, who was waiting for Jiang Yuan to hug her, never expected him to be so 'ruthless', and then fell flat on her backside without any warning.

"You boring bastard!" Although Liu Zhaodi wasn't hurt from the fall, she cursed Jiang Yuan countless times in her heart!

"hiss!"

Just as Liu Zhaodi finished cursing, she suddenly sensed the strange atmosphere around her.

"Why is it so dark?" Liu Zhaodi looked up and was met with a gaping maw of blood.

"Go!" Jiang Yuan scooped Liu Zhaodi up in his arms, flapped his Divine Wings, and thrust his spear at the eighth-tier monster that was swallowing the two of them.

He was always aware of his surroundings, so when he appeared at the altar, he noticed the herd of beasts lurking around it.

"call!"

After the eighth-tier monster was killed, Jiang Yuan took Liu Zhaodi and flew into the air. At this moment, Liu Zhaodi was terrified by the scene in front of her.

A dense, continuous herd of beasts, stretching for thousands of meters, gathered near the altar; it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a mountain or a sea of ​​beasts.

She even suspected that the beast tide that had besieged the southern city might have migrated en masse.

"Look, a drone!" Liu Zhaodi, with her sharp eyes, spotted the human drone hovering above the horde of beasts.

Jiang Yuan was already brewing a storm of swords. After hearing Liu Zhaodi's prompt, he swung a sword, and the small drone used for reconnaissance turned into a ball of sparks and fell to the ground.

"This has already attracted the attention of the forces in the South City!" Liu Zhaodi said worriedly. She wasn't afraid of the beast tide, but rather of Jiang Yuan's identity being exposed.

Only she, who knew Jiang Yuan's dual identity, understood the significance of this man to Nancheng: the first man to possess a unique cultivation technique, and the leader of the first force to slay a ninth-tier spirit beast.

"Gather Energy!" Jiang Yuan ignored it and instead activated his super ninth-tier skill - Gather Energy.

With his current soul power, controlling ten thousand swords would be an impossible task, but he could strengthen each sword, thereby increasing its power and leaving a mark, and then control the ten thousand swords in another way.

It's difficult to get ten strangers to listen, but getting ten of your own people to listen is not so difficult.

"Touch of the Green Forest!"

"Clone Technique!"

Liu Zhaodi was a smart girl. She knew that Jiang Yuan needed help, but she didn't say anything. She just silently did her best to help him.

Enormous vines emerged from the ground, instantly disrupting the formation of the nearby beast horde and effectively buffering their attack. Her avatars, on the other hand, attacked first, then self-destructed when their energy was nearly depleted.

In a certain part of the southern city, dozens of young men and women gathered in front of a screen.

"Captain, that mysterious man destroyed our drone!"

Did you take a picture of his face?

"He had his back to us, so the picture we took is unrecognizable! But we did manage to take a picture of the woman; it's Liu Zhaodi, the second young lady of the Liu family!"

"Nearly 30% of the beast tide in the West Gate area has headed towards the altar; these two have absolutely no chance of survival!"

"But that mysterious person seems to be able to fly! Moreover, that powerful attack just now doesn't seem like something a ninth-level being could unleash!"

"How many ninth-tier monsters went with the beast tide?"

"There are already seven!"

The atmosphere in front of the screen plummeted to freezing point. Finally, the young man in the lead said, "One person stays to continue monitoring; the rest of you come with me!"

...

"Are you alright?" Liu Zhaodi used the vines to support Jiang Yuan, whose body was trembling.

At this moment, the Blade Storm already possesses 9,999 blades, needing only one more to form the Hurricane Sword Domain. This last blade is also the most difficult to form, and it is the key to the Blade Storm's transformation into the Hurricane Sword Domain.

"One last round, start!"

Jiang Yuan's temples bulged with veins, and blood seeped from his eyes. A blood-stained sword blade appeared from the void.

Seeing this scene, Liu Zhaodi's heart clenched. She hadn't participated in many battles and found it hard to understand this almost obsessive madness, but this person was Jiang Yuan, and she would only choose to stand firmly behind him and believe in him.

Buzz buzz buzz!

As the last blade appeared, the countless blades began to tremble, as if they had come to life.

"A ninth-tier spirit beast is coming!" Liu Zhaodi gripped Jiang Yuan's hand tightly. A hundred meters away from them, a native Earth monster and a holy spirit beast were rapidly approaching.

"Believe me!"

Jiang Yuan's vision was a little blurry, but he still managed to calm Liu Zhaodi down.

"Yes, you still have to come back with me for dinner!" Liu Zhaodi nodded, and all the vines disappeared at that moment.

They chose to face this overwhelming tide of beasts head-on!

This is a feat that no one dares to undertake. Even Nancheng, which possesses a considerable amount of technological weaponry, does not dare to declare war on the beast tide!

A deafening roar erupted from all directions; they were now isolated and helpless.

"Hurricane! Sword Domain!"
