Awooo—!
With a final roar before his death, Lu Yuan, covered in blood, pulled the Thousand-Patterned Blade from the monster's body. He casually flicked the blood off the blade and stood there looking at the battlefield ahead.
The corpses of various races of monsters were piled up on the ground, and the bright red liquid gathered into a torrent, slowly flowing into the sewers through the drains on both sides of the street.
Lu Yuan couldn't even remember how many monsters he had killed; he only knew that after getting off the helicopter, he had been wielding his sword the whole time.
"Eee!"
Xiao Yi followed behind Lu Yuan, reaching out to pull him and trying to transfer some spiritual energy to him, but Lu Yuan shook his head to stop her.
"It's okay, I can still manage."
With Xiao Yi's healing skills and support buffs, Lu Yuan's spiritual energy was relatively abundant, except for his stamina being consumed quickly.
But others don't have such good circumstances as him.
Most of them started fighting at the crack of dawn and have been fighting ever since without a break.
They barely managed to hold off the beast tide and drive the monsters back into the forest, but before they could even rest, the monsters returned with a vengeance. As a result, most of them had exhausted their spiritual energy, and they were only able to fight until now thanks to their extraordinary willpower.
How long can one persevere solely through willpower?
If no new reinforcements arrive, the defensive line that everyone has built will definitely be breached in no time.
Meng Jiaqi, who was the temporary commander on the battlefield, also looked worried.
How could he not notice the battle situation that Lu Yuan could observe?
However, the branches in various regions have already sent a group of people, and it will definitely take some time to raise another batch of support in a short period of time. It is unknown whether they can hold on until then.
No!
They must hold out until then!
Thinking of this, Meng Jiaqi handed the communicator in his hand to the person next to him, and then drew a long knife from his waist and was about to rush into the battlefield.
Upon seeing this.
The people around him immediately stopped him.
"Commander Meng, where are you going?!"
"Where else can I go? Of course, I'm going to kill these damned monsters!" Meng Jiaqi was being held tightly by the person next to him. He struggled a couple of times but couldn't break free, so he couldn't help but growl, "Let me go!"
"no!"
Without a second thought, the people around Meng Jiaqi rejected his plan.
"You are the overall commander of the battlefield. If you charge into the horde of monsters and something happens to you, who will take command next? The morale of the army will also waver!"
"Bullshit! These monsters are about to break through the defenses, and you expect me to sit back and watch?! If even one monster manages to cross this line, it will cause the deaths of countless innocent civilians. I absolutely cannot stand by and watch that happen!"
After saying that.
Meng Jiaqi forcefully swung away the hands on his body, summoned his beast, and then charged straight into the horde of monsters with his sword in hand.
A short while later.
Then came the screams of the monsters all around.
Meng Jiaqi remained in the rear to direct operations, and his own spiritual energy, along with that of the demon beasts, was abundant. After he left the field, the crumbling defense line was stabilized once again.
Seeing such remarkable results, the people around were worried, but ultimately did not continue to obstruct the process.
dumb--!!
A loud crow came from above. Lu Yuan looked up and saw a giant crow, about the size of two trucks, flying rapidly across the defense line towards Yandu City.
"Oh no, it's the Soul-Stripping Black Crow!"
Lu Yuan swung his sword and killed a demonic beast. He then jumped onto the beast's back, intending to use it as a springboard to kill the Soul-Shaving Black Crow. However, a long sword flew out first, striking the Soul-Shaving Black Crow directly in the heart.
Lu Yuan paused, standing on the back of the monster and looking down. He saw Meng Jiaqi wave his hand, and the long sword that had just flown up flew back into his hand.
"Controlling objects with spirits?!"
Lu Yuan looked surprised.
As the name suggests.
Spiritual control is a high-level skill that relies on the spiritual energy within the body to control other objects. It requires a great deal of energy support and can only be mastered by a high-level beast tamer at least at the Illusion God level.
Unexpectedly, Meng Jiaqi is actually a god-level beast tamer!
"Ignore the monsters in the sky, leave them all to me. You go and hold the line!"
Meng Jiaqi casually cleaved the monster in front of her, and at the same time roared at Lu Yuan.
"clear!"
Lu Yuan nodded immediately, jumped off the monster's back, and stood in front of the defensive line again.
Seeing the endless stream of monsters charging towards him, Lu Yuan supported his right arm, which was trembling slightly from exhaustion. He then took a deep breath, gripped the hilt of his sword, and charged into the monster horde once more.
With Meng Jiaqi and Lu Yuan working together, one dealing with the sky and the other with the ground, they managed to stop the monsters from advancing.
Everyone else present stared wide-eyed.
Compared to the enormous monsters, Lu Yuan's back looked very thin.
Yet this young man, who wasn't even a member of the Divine Martial Pavilion, stood in front of them without hesitation, shielding the millions of citizens behind him from the threat of death.
In an instant.
Everyone was moved by Lu Yuan's determination, and their morale soared instantly!
"Keep fighting! We will not fall until these monsters are wiped out!"
"That's right! Don't forget that it's not just them; various armed squads are also fighting on the most dangerous front lines. We absolutely cannot give up!"
"Charge!"
Someone in the crowd shouted something, and everyone joined in, instantly raising morale to an unprecedented peak as they fought desperately against the monster in front of them.
Just as the monster horde was being gradually forced back and the defensive line was about to be rebuilt.
A terrifying aura suddenly descended!
"This is... a Celestial Evolution level demonic beast?!"
Lu Yuan immediately sensed the level to which this aura belonged.
What made everyone feel most desperate was that the source of this aura was not just one monster, but more than a dozen!
"What's going on?! Where are the armed squad members? Weren't they supposed to be holding off these high-level demonic beasts at the front lines?!"
A terrified voice came from the crowd, and a soldier holding a communicator ran quickly to Meng Jiaqi.
"Commander Meng, the various armed squads at the front have suffered heavy casualties, with only the third squad led by Captain Yang still holding on..."
Meng Jiaqi's expression suddenly turned serious.
To stop the monster horde from invading Yandu, all armed squads were deployed to the front lines to defend against the most ferocious wave of attacks from the monster horde.
He had anticipated that the armed squad would suffer heavy casualties, and all members went into battle with the determination to die.
But he didn't expect that.
The seven armed squads, which are the strongest fighting force of the Divine Martial Pavilion, only lasted such a short time when facing the horde of monsters.
While Meng Jiaqi was still in a daze, more than a dozen Heavenly Evolution-level demonic beasts rushed in front of him.
Caught off guard, even Meng Jiaqi, a beast tamer at the Illusion God level, was unable to face more than a dozen Heavenly Evolution level demonic beasts at the same time. Just as he was about to be seriously injured, a beam of light suddenly descended from the sky.
"Fire Prison!"
