More and more monsters and holy beasts approached the city walls, and the dense horde of beasts occupied most of the area below the city. The only visible group was Yuwen Xin and his men, who were being suppressed and beaten.
Nearly half of their four hundred strength-based soldiers had been lost, and the team could only huddle together in one place amidst the massive beast tide. Because of the limited contact area, most of the beast tide was surging towards the city wall.
Thirty meters is not a high height in the eyes of these beasts whose average strength is at the fourth or fifth level.
In just a few minutes, dozens of monsters skilled at climbing had already scaled the wall.
"The 39th Camp is doomed!" someone sighed.
At this moment, many people abandoned their weapons and fled, but some remained on the city walls to prepare for a final, desperate resistance.
"Brothers, retreat!" Su Haocang had already moved away from the city wall. "Let the outer areas weaken the beast tide!"
Behind the city wall lies the outer area, where hundreds of thousands of low-level humans reside. Su Haocang's idea was extremely ruthless: to send these hundreds of thousands of low-level humans to deplete the beast tide's power. Although the difference in strength was vast, even ants can kill an elephant if there are many of them.
Moreover, humans are creatures with limitless potential. These hundreds of thousands of people, even if they cannot kill powerful holy beasts, can certainly deal with some weaker beast tides.
People kept taking down the city walls; staying here was no different from welcoming death.
Jiang Yuan couldn't stop it; the city wall's several hundred-meter-long defensive line instantly became much weaker, and more beasts broke through and surged forward.
"This is the beast tide!" Jiang Yuan gripped the God-Slaying Spear tightly. He probably understood why a refugee camp of hundreds of thousands of people could become a ghost town overnight. In such a beast tide, the resistance of the weak was nothing more than a dying struggle.
He couldn't stop the tide of events, but he had to kill the eighth-tier Sky-Splitting Leopard in front of him!
Just as Jiang Yuan was preparing to hunt his prey, a war puppet fell from the city wall with a thud.
"Yanlan, go back quickly!" Jiang Yuan turned around and shouted sharply. He didn't expect that Tianhun Tong would bring two girls up to the city wall.
"I won't hold you back!" Ning Yanlan smiled sweetly, pointing to Leng Yue beside her. "Look, I have Leng Yue protecting me! I'm perfectly safe!"
"Wait here for me, little one!"
Jiang Yuan walked towards the Sky-Splitting Leopard, a formidable enemy. He was only at the sixth rank, and facing the eighth-rank Sky-Splitting Leopard, he had to go all out.
"The Realm of Extreme Cold!"
Ning Yanlan had no intention of waiting obediently. With a wave of her hand, a large amount of icy power enveloped the city wall. The top five meters of the city wall within a hundred-meter radius were completely turned into an icy zone. The monsters that had climbed up lost their grip on the ice surface with a friction coefficient of only a fraction of a second and slid down one by one. Moreover, because this hundred-meter radius was covered with ice, it instantly became a buffer zone against the beast tide.
"Hoo!" Ning Yanlan felt her heart clenching; the intense drain on her body from the Extreme Cold Realm almost caused her newly recovered body to collapse.
However, she hid it very well, and still maintained a smiling expression on the surface.
"Yanlan, are you alright?" Jiang Yuan asked, frowning.
"You're so stupid, all you know is brute force!" Ning Yanlan playfully stuck out her tongue at Jiang Yuan.
"Spirit Race!" The Sky-Splitting Leopard stared intently at Ning Yanlan. In the next instant, it pounced on her, its fangs, powerful enough to crush a person, reflecting a cold light in the night.
"careful!"
Tianhun Tong blocked the attack, while Jiang Yuan also turned around and attacked the Rift Leopard.
Clang! The spear tip pierced the Sky Leopard's horny armor, and the impact was weakened to almost nothing after the patterns on the Sky Leopard's body flashed.
"Still using that trick!" Jiang Yuan sneered. He was no longer the weak human he had been when facing the Holy Spirit Beast. "Holy Suppression!"
The divine power's attributes suppressed everything. The Sky-Splitting Leopard, which thought that a sixth-tier attack was just a tickle, was pierced with a two-foot-deep blood hole by a single spear. Its attack on Ning Yanlan was also interrupted, and even the Heavenly Soul Child punched the Sky-Splitting Leopard away.
"Heavenly Soul Child, follow me forward!" Ning Yanlan ignored the Sky-Splitting Leopard and ran towards the section of the city wall that wasn't frozen.
"The Realm of Extreme Cold!"
The second section of the frozen city wall appeared, isolating the beast tide below once again, preventing them from climbing the final five meters of icy barrier.
"Woo!" The Sky Leopard growled, its eyes filled with rage. The repeated provocations from these two weak humans had fueled its murderous intent.
"Your opponent is me!"
Jiang Yuan pointed his gun at the Sky-Splitting Leopard, and all the data about the Sky-Splitting Leopard was in the Sky Eye.
Holy Spirit Beast Sky-Splitting Leopard, Rank 8 Royal Beast (two wheels), Spiritual Energy: 320, Physical Energy: 47, Intermediate Talents: Sky-Splitting Blade, Leap.
The data is strange. The eighth-tier Sky-Splitting Leopard in front of us is a royal beast with two royal veins, comparable to Bu Yao's ninth-tier royal beast. However, this Sky-Splitting Leopard is obviously 'severely unbalanced'. Despite its robust appearance, its spiritual energy far exceeds its physical strength.
"Insects, I'll kill you in three moves!" the Sky Leopard roared in a deep voice.
"I hope so, otherwise you'll have to treat all of us brothers to wild game!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile, his indomitable fighting spirit shining through.
The Sky-Splitter Leopard bared its teeth and charged forward with a lunge.
"The shackles of blood, the shackles of flesh!"
Jiang Yuan clenched his fist, and his body made a crisp popping sound as the God-Slaying Spear thrust out with at least ten thousand jin of force.
The power of ancient martial artists cannot be measured in specific numbers, but their physical bodies are the best embodiment of that power.
He originally thought he could pierce the Sky Leopard again, but to his surprise, the Sky Leopard's speed was incredible when it unleashed its full power, and his shot missed completely.
Moreover, not only did he fail to attack the Sky-Splitting Leopard, but the Sky-Splitting Leopard somehow appeared behind him and was then suddenly struck by a claw, leaving three long bloody marks.
"Leap!" Jiang Yuan rolled two and a half times to the side. He was wearing an eighth-tier inner armor, but he was still injured by the Sky-Splitting Leopard.
