The only remaining captain of the city guards, before he could figure out what was going on, saw an extremely familiar and elegant figure appear in mid-air.

"City...City Lord?!"

He said with a trembling voice that the appearance of City Lord Gu Qing had undoubtedly helped him regain his backbone. It seemed that as long as the City Lord was there, all demons were nothing to be afraid of.

Gu Qing glanced at the tragic situation around him and said, "Preserve your strength first. The force of this demon invasion is not something we can handle. Just wait for rescue!"

After leaving these words, he flew away.

Although he was asked to preserve his strength, he was actually putting out fires everywhere in the city.

He did not blindly destroy the altar in the center of the city. With his own strength, he would be like a moth flying into a flame, which would not only be ineffective but also cost him his life.

So he is trying his best to help more people survive. This is his responsibility as the city lord.

call!

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind from below.

He suddenly turned sideways and dodged a giant pumpkin hammer that was coming down from below.

Before he could catch his breath, a huge black skeleton suddenly appeared in front of him and loomed over him.

"Fire Break!"

Gu Qing pinched his fingers together and pointed out with one finger.

Wow!

A flame burned the black skeleton to ashes, but at this moment, a demon with wings on its back and a bird's beak flew out through the skeleton.

"The aura of the fifth-level peak!"

Gu Qing's face was solemn. He was currently only level 54, and his strength was only considered to be mid-level level five.

The bird-like demon in front of him is already the strongest demon in Beining City. He must be coming for him.

"Gang Lei·Destroy!"

Gu Qing used his finger to draw the word "destroy" in the air.

Snap!

The front was suddenly covered by lightning, forming a terrifying area of ​​destruction.

But something he didn't expect happened. The bird-man demon flapped its wings and passed through the lightning area as if it was in no man's land.

Bang! Bang!

Bolts of lightning struck him, but did not cause him any harm at all.

Can he actually ignore the attack of my own sea of ​​thunder?

Gu Qing was shocked and realized that the gap in strength between the two sides was too big and he simply did not have the strength to fight against the other side.

"Speeding Talisman!"

Gu Qing pinched out a blue talisman with two fingers. After using it, his speed increased dramatically and he was about to rush away.

Wow!

Suddenly, skeletons flew out from behind the birdman and hit Gu Qing like black meteorites.

When the skeleton hit him, his spirit and consciousness were also damaged, causing him to lose consciousness briefly.

call!

Another sledgehammer was thrown from below.

Bang!

The giant hammer hit Gu Qing's body, and a protective talisman on his body responded by forming a protective shield to block a large amount of damage.

Otherwise, a hammer from the fifth-level peak demon below would be enough to smash him into a bloody mist.

Fortunately, he still had a life-saving amulet on him, and the blow restored his consciousness. After waking up, he flew away immediately.

Wow!

At this moment, the space behind him suddenly fluctuated, and a slender and sharp claw emerged from the crack in space.

Phew!

This claw pierced through his chest directly, and blood spurted out.

There is also a fifth-level peak assassin-like demon in the dark who is extremely good at hiding. This is an ambush targeting Gu Qing.

The bird-man demons also arrived, waving their sharp claws. A claw mark condensed in the air, and instantly tore Gu Qing's body into pieces.

Under the siege of three fifth-level peak combat forces, Gu Qing was finally unable to escape.

His body was torn into pieces by the claws of the bird-man demon in mid-air over Beining City. This scene was seen by many people in the city.

"The city lord is dead..."

On the city wall, the captain of the city guard who had just been rescued by Gu Qing stared blankly at the scene in the sky far away.

Many people who were resisting or fleeing in the city were suddenly filled with despair.

Beining No. 3 Middle School.

Hou Yong was organizing the students to evacuate to the underground shelter, but at this time the school gate was easily knocked open by a third-level demon.

Ugly crawling monsters rushed into the campus in search of food.

Hou Yong raised a long staff and shouted, "All instructors above level three! Follow me and fight to buy time for the children!"

These demons are at least level three. If your strength does not reach level three, you can't even be cannon fodder. A single charge from the demon can turn you into a bloody mist.

The elderly Hou Yong, along with some elderly teachers, resolutely rushed towards the third and fourth order demons that had entered the campus.

…

Jingcheng College, inside the venue.

The top leaders of the four forces were still engaged in heated discussions about who should be sent into Beining City.

"I need to remind you all that every second we discuss here may result in more casualties in Beining City!" Xiao Yuan said at this time.

Zhou Yinghong frowned: "How can we rashly send people in without knowing the demon clan's purpose and what conspiracy they have?"

Chairman Shen in another direction snorted coldly: "If there is any conspiracy, we have to enter Beining City to find out!"

"What I mean is, what if this is a conspiracy against our Chinese geniuses? The purpose is to send some fourth- and fifth-level geniuses in to die!"

This is exactly what Zhou Yinghong is worried about. The fourth and fifth levels are already the backbone of the force, and if these top talents are destroyed.

China will also experience a generational gap in geniuses, which will have an impact on the situation of the entire human race.

Beining City is not very important to China. There are only two fifth-level people in the city, and they are fifth-level people with little future.

The future prospects cannot be compared with those of top talents like Li Xuan and Jiang Yang.

The duration of that barrier is also limited and it cannot exist forever. Besides, there are already several eighth-level people stationed outside Beining City.

Once the barrier disappears, they can take action and wipe out all the demons in the city in an instant, and no one will be sacrificed.

Xiao Yuan naturally understood what she meant, but he couldn't be so cruel: "Beining City has millions of people!"

Zhou Yinghong's expression remained serious. "They are very important, but what if we compare them to the overall situation of China?"

Those who competed in this exchange competition can be said to be the future of China. They are among the best in their respective provinces.

If entering the city fails to reverse the situation, wouldn't that be a waste of life?

Although the barrier cannot let them know what is happening in the city, it can provide them with a basic assessment of the number and overall strength of the demons in the city.

There are at least twenty fifth-level demons inside, and the gap can only accommodate five fifth-level humans at most.

There are countless fourth-level and third-level demons, and there is a huge gap in quantity.
