Fallen Leaf City.
Amidst the ripples of the teleportation array, the figure of a young man slowly appeared.
The Celestial Masters Sect disciples guarding the teleportation array exchanged bewildered glances.
It's rare for martial artists from the Central Plains to come to this barren land of the Eastern Wilderness, and there's no day when martial artists from the Central Plains come to the Eastern Wilderness to recruit disciples, so the group was quite curious.
However, these disciples of the Celestial Masters Sect were very sensible. They did not step forward to stop Qin Xin, but instead reported Qin Xin's portrait and watched him leave.
Stepping into this city of withered leaves, Qin Xin was filled with emotion. Two years ago, he was chased all the way here and then headed to Zhongzhou.
Although things have changed and people are no longer the same, it still stirred up a lot of thoughts in Qin Xin.
Just as he was about to leave the formidable barrier of the city of withered leaves, a terrifying tremor caused Qin Xin's spiritual sense to tremble slightly.
Qin Xin could sense that thousands of terrifying auras were rushing towards him from outside the city of Kuye.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
In an instant, the loud and far-reaching sound of horns rang out throughout the entire city of Kuye.
One after another, the figures of martial artists rushed past Qin Xin, heading quickly towards the location of the city wall.
"A beast tide!"
Two words immediately came to Qin Xin's mind.
Qin Xin had no experience with beast tides; he had only read about them in some records.
Swarms of demonic beasts surged toward the human city. Once the city gates' formations were breached, all civilians and warriors would become food for the demonic beasts.
Furthermore, once these monsters gather together, they will charge towards the surrounding cities.
The ultimate result will only be widespread suffering and destruction.
Qin Xin also knew something about the City of Withered Leaves. It was the most important pass in the entire Eastern Wilderness, used to block the passage between the depths of the Withered Leaves Forest and the Eastern Wilderness, which allowed the human cities behind it to live and work in peace.
Once the city of Kuye is breached by the demonic beasts, a large number of powerful demonic beasts will rush into the heart of the Eastern Wilderness, and the death toll will be impossible to count.
Faced with this situation, Qin Xin naturally wouldn't stand idly by.
In this desolate eastern wilderness, there were also his friends and family.
"All martial artists at the Qi Sea Realm and above, proceed to the North Gate!"
"All martial artists below the Qi Sea Realm, proceed to the South Gate!"
Anxious voices echoed throughout the entire city of Kuye. All the warriors in Kuye did not utter a single unnecessary word and followed the instructions of the voices to go to their respective places to defend.
The beast tide was coming from two directions. The north gate faced the depths of the forest, where all the monsters were extremely powerful, requiring even stronger warriors to defend it.
As for the South Gate, the pressure will be slightly less, and the monsters that charge in are relatively weak. Even if there are a few stronger ones, they can be subdued by the martial artists' formations and combined efforts.
After Qin Xin quickly arrived at the North Gate and stood atop the towering city wall, he couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Before Qin Xin's eyes was a dark mass of charging demonic beasts. Wherever they passed, nothing grew. Many demonic beasts were trampled underfoot by the ones behind them and turned into a pile of minced meat.
"Thump!"
As the first wave of demonic beasts charged towards the city wall, the impact caused the formation on the wall to glow with a faint red light.
Flames and boulders rained down on the horde of monsters, felling them in droves, only to be quickly replaced by endless waves of new beasts.
Qin Xin was also controlling the attack formation on the city wall, continuously bombarding the demonic beast.
In an instant, the monster's corpse exploded, and the blood stained the walls of the city of Kuye City crimson. The stench made many martial artists feel nauseous.
Before long, the monsters that had been charging forward suddenly stopped.
Many warriors on the city wall showed joy at surviving a calamity upon sensing the retreat of the demonic beasts.
"The monsters have retreated!"
The warriors on the city wall watched the monster retreat and hurriedly repaired the formations that had been damaged by the monster's attack.
Upon seeing this group of demonic beasts, Qin Xin sensed something was amiss. He used his spiritual sense to probe further and discovered the clues.
These monsters seem to be under command, gathering their strength in preparation for the next attack.
"roar!"
A wolf howl suddenly sounded from a distance in the direction of the herd of beasts.
The monster that had been retreating charged forward again.
"Dark Moon Demon King! Instead of staying in your own lair, you dare to invade! This time, I will surely kill you!"
A human warrior's angry shout echoed behind the horde of monsters.
Then, terrifying energy surged forth continuously, causing many demonic beasts to explode and die under the impact.
"Lord Zhou! It's Lord Zhou!"
Cheers erupted in the city of Kuye. Although the Dark Moon Demon King was a level seven demon beast, Zhou Lei, the city lord of Kuye, also possessed the strength of the Dharma Aspect Realm.
Qin Xin was able to detect the figure in the distance who was fighting fiercely with the Dark Moon Demon King through his spiritual sense. It seemed that there was a unique domain around him, and the Dark Moon Demon King's figure stopped when he rushed over.
However, this level seven demonic beast, the Dark Moon Demon King, was no pushover. As it charged forward, it continuously spewed out black streams of light, instantly turning any demonic beasts it touched into ice shards.
Zhou Lei's attacks were also extremely skillful. He seemed to know that the Dark Moon Demon King's waist was relatively vulnerable, and he kept stabbing at this part with his cold longsword.
Within a few rounds, the Dark Moon Demon King also showed signs of defeat.
"Aww~~~"
Several wolf howls emanated from the Dark Moon Demon King's mouth.
The beast tide, which had been somewhat defeated by the human warriors, once again surged towards the City of Withered Leaves.
However, the demonic beasts that charged this time all had a look of madness on their faces. The Dark Moon Demon King was also extremely clever. If Zhou Lei continued to fight with him, then the city of Kuye would eventually be slaughtered by the beast horde.
However, once Zhou Lei leaves, the Dark Moon Demon King will find an opening to kill some of the stronger human martial artists.
Although Zhou Lei is strong, he will eventually be exhausted when faced with the endless onslaught of beasts.
"not good!"
The once again overwhelming horde of beasts sent a chill down the spines of the warriors atop the gates of Kuye City.
As the formation of one of the city gates was broken open by the demonic beasts, several cries of pain from human martial artists quickly rang out, followed by their demise.
Seeing this scene, Qin Xin felt a chill in his heart. He knew that if the attack of these demonic beasts was allowed to continue, then Kuye City would surely be reduced to ruins.
With a thought, the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword appeared in his hand. Qin Xin was prepared to do his part, but the final outcome was beyond his control.
After all, behind this city of withered leaves are cities where countless civilians live. If forced to surrender, the Eastern Wilderness will be plunged into a catastrophe.
