Chapter 65 Beast Tide 2
On the city wall, a large number of mysterious artifacts were releasing their power, each displaying its unique abilities.
Countless mysterious artifacts and various treasures appeared, continuously slaughtering the surrounding savage birds.
·
A woman from the Shao family raised her hand and struck out a bronze bell, which emitted a terrifying light.
The light spread in all directions, sweeping over dozens of second-tier savage birds.
The savage birds let out miserable howls as they were scorched by the light. All their feathers fell off, and their flesh quickly turned black, dried up, and turned to ashes!
This woman was an enlightened cultivator who easily slaughtered a large number of savage birds and cleared out a small area.
·
Then, another man from the Shao family, who also had his treasured tree consecrated, proudly presented a precious tree made entirely of jade.
Although the precious tree is in this form, it is itself a mystical artifact, and it also releases countless rays of light.
Enveloped in these lights, the numerous savage birds seemed to be cleaved by countless swords and blades, turning into countless pieces of flesh.
·
Another pair of young men and women, who looked quite similar, were both at the Palace Opening Realm. At this moment, they raised their arms, shaking the bells that looked like they were made of bronze, and danced a graceful and powerful dance.
As they stomped their feet to the rhythm, the bells rang out with a clear, melodious sound.
The ringtone was very clear, and faintly, one could almost see the invisible sound waves spreading out like ripples.
The bell sound seemed inconspicuous, but ever since the two began to dance, the savage beasts that were about to pounce on them have been suspended in mid-air, as if blocked by some strange force.
Many more approaching savage birds fell down in a daze.
Suddenly! A third-tier savage bird approached!
The two members of the Shao family quickly shook hands, and two strings of bells rang simultaneously—
In an instant, the ringing intensified several times, and even the spreading "ripples" became more numerous and wider.
The third-tier savage bird let out a miserable cry and fell involuntarily.
It flapped its wings extremely fast and soared upwards at lightning speed!
·
The Shao family couple were twins, a boy and a girl, with the same aptitude, and the companion treasures they summoned were just right for the siblings to use.
Don't underestimate them just because they are not strong enough to unleash the full power of the bells. When they use their innate secret techniques, the bells can resonate and shake those who are a level above them!
If the two were to use their Palace-Opening Techniques to counter the Enlightened One, they would likely find it difficult to truly suppress him, given that he also possessed secret techniques and greater combat experience. However, facing a savage bird… one that was more reckless and lacked common sense, the bell's sound proved quite useful.
·
The elder brother of the Shao family immediately shook the bell again and whispered, "Sister, let's put in more effort!"
The Shao family girl was also very resilient, immediately echoing, "Weaken it! Create opportunities for others!"
The brother and sister danced even more wildly, and the bells rang even more frequently and loudly in sync with their movements!
Sure enough, the third-tier savage bird had only soared a few feet high when it seemed to be pulled down by some powerful force.
However, it also struggled frantically, striving to climb upwards again!
The ringtone rang even louder!
The two sides remain deadlocked...
Although the brother and sister used this to buy time, there were too many savage birds attacking the city walls, and many cultivators were very busy and the battle was chaotic. It was unlikely that other powerful figures would notice the commotion here.
The Shao siblings exchanged a glance, both gritting their teeth as they poured a large amount of their profound energy into their companion treasure!
At the same time, their faces were slightly pale due to the excessive exertion.
Drag it away! We absolutely cannot let this third-tier savage bird fly away!
After escaping, the third-tier savage bird will simply change direction and attack other city-guarding cultivators!
·
The Shao siblings tried their best, but how easy was it to entangle a third-tier savage bird?
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the third-tier savage bird's struggles had become increasingly intense.
The brother and sister looked pale as paper, but they still dared not relax for a moment.
It was clear that the savage bird was about to escape—and at that time, they would inevitably be its first targets for slaughter!
The Shao siblings gave a bitter smile.
The next instant, a sharp whooshing sound came from the side.
A sharp arrow whizzed past the brother and sister, then soared upwards, striking the savage bird's neck with remarkable accuracy!
The savage bird let out a high-pitched cry—
But there was only this one sound.
Then, like a kite with a broken string, it fell and crashed heavily against the city wall with a loud thud.
As it fell, crimson blood dripped from its neck, and its head fell off completely the moment it hit the ground.
·
The Shao siblings were immediately shocked and instinctively looked in the direction from which the arrow had been shot.
There, a handsome young man dressed in brocade robes drew his bow, swung it up, and smashed the head of the savage bird that was approaching him.
The young man's movements were quite smooth. Immediately afterward, the sharp tip of the hard bow pierced the heart of another savage bird. As it lunged to bite, he very naturally pulled out the hard bow, flicked the bowstring upward, and precisely severed the savage bird's head.
All of this, including the young man's continuous archery moves, took only a single breath.
Of the savage birds that died at the hands of the youth, one was at the third rank and two were at the second rank.
The efficiency is really high!
Beside the young man, there was a handsome boy hiding.
The boy quickly noticed the gazes of the Shao siblings and poked his head out, only to be spotted by them.
The Shao siblings had just seen the boy smile at them when he suddenly ducked down and appeared on the other side of the young man.
Shockingly, the boy had barely dodged when the young man drew his bow from the direction the boy had been standing—the arrow struck and killed the swooping bird.
In the blink of an eye, the boy had circled around to the other side of the young man.
The young man smoothly swung his bow in that direction, severing a fine bird's head!
This time, a chain shot out from where the boy was, and a meteor hammer with sharp spikes at the front smashed down with a "whoosh".
The bird the young man killed landed just as the hammer head pierced through that direction, smashing the small savage bird that was lurking behind it, ready to ambush him.
The two worked together so naturally, as if they were of one mind.
The Shao siblings both took a deep breath, deeply moved.
Born of the same parents, the two had been working together since summoning their companion treasures, resulting in a very harmonious relationship. However, they possessed multiple advantages, including their cultivation level, aptitude, age, and bloodline, which allowed them to reach this level.
However, the boy was clearly only a Heavenly Guidance cultivator, while the young man had already awakened his enlightenment. The difference in their cultivation levels was enormous, making it many times more difficult for them to coordinate than for the brother and sister.
However, their reactions were almost entirely responsive, and they didn't even need to make eye contact.
...How exactly did you train to achieve that?
·
As the Shao siblings were in turmoil, a sharp gust of wind rushed from behind them!
The two immediately tensed up, no longer daring to be distracted, and quickly dodged.
However, such distraction is fatal when defending against the beast tide. The gray savage birds that attacked them were too fast and their strength was no less than theirs!
Moreover, they had consumed too much of their profound energy beforehand and had no time to recover, so their reactions were naturally a bit slow.
Just as the brother and sister were about to be splattered with blood on its claws, another sharp arrow came circling around and killed the gray bird.
The Shao siblings felt their faces burning; they had been too careless and had made such a grave mistake.
Seeing that the young man had slaughtered other birds again after saving them, the two naturally couldn't abruptly thank him or disturb him. They quickly memorized his face and the kindness he had shown them.
At this moment, the brother and sister dared not delay and quickly ran into the nearest fortress.
Inside the fortress, a powerful defensive formation was set up.
Inside, many of their fellow clansmen and independent cultivators were already sitting cross-legged in meditation, rapidly recovering their strength.
A cultivator's spiritual power is limited. If their cultivation method is not good enough or their foundation is not solid enough, they will accumulate even less power and consume it more quickly.
The previous few rounds of actions that echoed the city wall and emitted pillars of light had actually exhausted the profound energy of many cultivators. They could only barely hold on to fight the savage birds for a while before they had to recuperate.
The Shao siblings quickly found an open space to land, swallowed a pill, and began to recover rapidly.
The other cultivators were also focused on regulating their breathing. In fact, not long after they entered, some cultivators immediately got up and went back to the city wall.
Continue to participate in the war.
Once the Shao siblings have recovered sufficiently, they will do the same immediately.
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan worked together to slaughter the savage beasts.
The number of third-tier savage beasts that died at Wu Shaogan's hands was not small, and the number of first-tier savage birds that were killed by Zhong Cai's meteor hammer was also extremely large.
The city wall had limited space, and many of the savage birds were extremely large. When they fell or were killed, they piled up like mountains, taking up a lot of space.
But then, these piles of corpses would disappear.
It must have been taken away by a powerful member of the Shao family to prevent it from becoming an obstacle and interfering with the battle.
With enough space, it was much easier for Zhong Cai to wield his meteor hammer.
Near the two, long chains moved swiftly, and the hammers struck one after another—if the head or neck was more stubborn, the hammers could turn and come around in a different direction, striking back and forth two or three times, even if the head or neck wasn't smashed.
Zhong Cai had never defended against a beast tide before, but he had been thrown into the beast horde for training under Wu Shaogan's supervision.
Facing hordes of savage birds from all directions, Zhong Cai naturally felt immense pressure. However, this pressure only made his skills more refined and his connection with the meteor hammer even stronger.
Suddenly, the city wall seemed to tremble slightly.
From the city tower not far away, an extremely dense light shone, transforming into even more dazzling beams of light that swept down towards the area below the city gate!
Zhong Cai was startled and quickly glanced down.
Wu Shaogan, standing beside him, quickly said, "The savage beasts below have gathered."
Zhong Cai had already taken in the scene, nodded, and continued their task.
·
While the cultivators on the city wall were directly confronting the savage birds, the savage beasts that were also attacking were constantly ramming against the city wall and gates.
Each time the city wall was attacked by savage beasts, the patterns on the wall would rapidly change, and the wall would suddenly become even harder.
Numerous savage beasts charged at him until their heads were bleeding profusely, but they could not break through the wall.
The savage beasts that stormed the city gates suffered even more devastation.
The moment they collide, an extremely thick layer of stone slabs will protrude above the city gate.
On the stone slab, there were several powerful attack formations, spewing out terrifying light.
The radiance enveloped everything, melting away the savage beasts that had been ramming the door.
Even if a few third-tier savage beasts have tough hides and bones, they will still be severely injured and unable to continue attacking.
Countless wild beasts died in front of the city gates and walls.
But the beast tide was just like the ocean tide, surging and violent.
The beasts had no intelligence whatsoever and showed no intention of retreating.
As more and more people gather at the city gate and the city walls are repeatedly attacked, even the strongest defenses of the formation and city walls may reach their limit.
To avoid this situation, many enlightened and palace-opening cultivators also appeared inside the city gate. They were also wearing armor, activating the array patterns, and pouring all their profound energy into it!
As a result, several terrifying cannon muzzles appeared on the city wall.
The beams of light they emitted could rotate, sweeping back and forth through the vast herd of beasts.
Dense herds of animals, many dead.
This time, the beam of light was even more powerful, but its consumption was extremely terrifying. In just one round, it drained the energy of many cultivators.
It must be used in the most efficient way possible.
These drained cultivators hurried to recover, hoping to be able to launch another round of attacks before the city walls were breached.
·
On the city wall.
Gradually, Zhong Cai's profound energy was exhausted.
Wu Shaogan still had some strength left, but he quickly smashed the surrounding savage birds to death, grabbed Zhong Cai, and appeared at the entrance of the fortress in a flash.
Zhong Cai relaxed her body and offered no resistance.
The two walked directly into the fortress.
Just as they entered, the Shao siblings recovered and came out.
Upon seeing the two, the Shao siblings immediately expressed their gratitude.
Wu Shaogan nodded slightly and led Zhong Cai into the fortress.
Zhong Cai waved to the two of them, indicating that they didn't need to worry about it.
The brother and sister then hurried to the city wall.
·
Wu Shaogan and Zhong Cai sat together in the corner, blocking his view.
Zhong Cai quickly took out a top-grade Qi-replenishing pill and swallowed it, feeling the rapid recovery of his internal energy.
It was at this moment that Zhong Cai realized that his intense killing of the savage birds had not only depleted his Xuan power but also nearly exhausted his strength, leaving his limbs feeling sore and weak.
Wu Shaogan, on the other hand, was perfectly fine. He quickly noticed Zhong Cai's discomfort and helped him relax his muscles while he was adjusting his breathing.
Zhong Cai did seem quite relaxed.
He even had the energy to take a look at the situation inside the fortress.
·
In the center of the fortress was a round table with four large boxes on it.
The surface of the box was covered with array patterns that shimmered with light.
Meanwhile, pills were being added to the box one after another.
The pills in each box are of different grades and types, but there is no doubt that they were refined and delivered by the logistics alchemists.
·
Many cultivators are consuming elixirs.
Many of these cultivators took out pill bottles from their mustard seed treasures, poured out the pills, and swallowed them.
However, some cultivators, when they ran out of pills or did not have any urgent needs, would get up and come to the round table, reach into a box, take out the pills they needed, and swallow them.
Zhong Cai keenly noticed that when these cultivators took out their pills, the marks they received would flash with a faint light.
He suddenly realized that the markings must have recorded the names and quantities of the pills they had taken.
After the beast tide, the cost of the elixirs should be offset by the marked and recorded corpses of the savage beasts and birds.
That's one way to do it.
Otherwise, cultivators will inevitably take more pills than they need, leading to a shortage of pills for those who truly require them.
·
Zhong Cai withdrew his gaze and sensed his own profound energy.
He has recovered to 60% and will be able to continue fighting in a short while.
Suddenly, a young cultivator with a dark, bluish face stumbled in and headed straight for the round table.
But before he could take more than a few steps, he collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
Everyone was taken aback.
Zhong Cai frowned: "They've been poisoned."
·
Many of the wild beasts and birds are poisonous.
Especially in such a chaotic battle of beast tides, poisonous beasts can hide and launch surprise attacks, making it impossible to defend against them.
This young cultivator was from the Shao family, and he was wearing armor with a certain degree of defensive capability, yet he was still poisoned to this extent.
He must have realized something was wrong immediately after being poisoned and entered the fortress, but the poison was too potent... he was already on the verge of death.
Upon seeing this, the other members of the Shao family who were recuperating inside the fortress quickly got up.
A woman rushed to help the young man, but was stopped by another person.
"Wait! We don't know if you'll be contaminated by this poison."
The woman was startled and immediately stopped.
The Shao family members had already come to the round table and were picking out pills from a box.
"Oh no! We're out of level two antidotes!" the Shao family member exclaimed in alarm.
At the same time, the black aura on the poisoned man's face became even thicker.
In particular, the bluish spots on his face were constantly spreading to various parts of his body.
When the poisoned man collapsed, the back of his hand was still smooth, but now, not only have bluish spots appeared on the back of his hand, they have become very dense.
Everyone knew very well that once the spots spread all over his body, it would probably be...
The atmosphere became heavy for a moment.
The Shao family member who was selecting the pills did not give up and had already brought over several pills.
A member of the Shao family asked, "What is this?"
Shao Jiazi said, "They are all first-grade antidotes, and there are different kinds. Let's not worry about anything else for now. Let Shao Lin take them. Even if they don't cure him, they might at least prolong his life."
Zhong Cai looked at these first-grade antidote pills, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
They're all from the first-level common prescriptions, each capable of neutralizing different poisons. Eating them together won't kill you, but their detoxifying effect will probably be minimal, and the degree to which they can delay the poisoning is very limited... which is quite a waste of resources.
Without hesitation, Zhong Cai took out a second-grade superior antidote pill and flicked it with her finger.
A soft whooshing sound rang out.
The Shao family members noticed this, looked up, saw it, and quickly took it.
The Shao family members who had selected the antidote pills quickly returned those first-grade antidote pills.
The woman from the Shao family, having received the pill, quickly pried open the poisoned man's mouth and stuffed the pill inside.
The other members of the Shao family could naturally recognize the grade of the elixir and thanked Zhong Cai one after another.
Zhong Cai nodded to them, pulled Wu Shaogan to his feet, and walked out of the fortress.
My inner energy has been restored, let's get back to fighting!
·
After they left, several members of the Shao family still looked at the poisoned man, Shao Lin, with concern.
After taking the elixir, Shao Lin's originally extremely weak aura gradually recovered and grew stronger.
A woman from the Shao family noticed that the bluish spots on the back of her cousin's hand had disappeared.
Soon, the bluish-black color on Shao Lin's face visibly faded away.
All the tribespeople were overjoyed and felt a great weight lifted off their shoulders.
Thank goodness! Nothing happened!
When Shao Lin opened his eyes, he saw several pairs of concerned eyes.
Someone asked, "Ah Lin, quickly check your own condition!"
Someone else asked anxiously, "Can the Xuan power still be controlled? Are there any other problems?"
Shao Lin quickly checked himself, and then his tense expression relaxed.
"It's alright, the poison has been completely neutralized."
Shao Lin was still a little puzzled: "I thought it would take some time to remove the remaining poison, but now it seems that it's not necessary."
Upon hearing this, a member of the Shao family laughed and said, "You're lucky, kid. There weren't any antidotes in that box, and none of us had any, but one of the young men gave us a high-grade one. No wonder it's so effective at detoxifying!"
Shao Lin was stunned: "Top-grade?" He quickly added, "That's my benefactor! You have to tell me who it is, and I'll send the money for the pills over later."
A woman from the Shao family said, "It should be Master Zhong, whom the alchemists in the family have been praising recently. Judging from his appearance and the young man protecting him, it all matches up."
Shao Lin suddenly realized: "I heard that Master Zhong's alchemy skills are extremely high, and he is particularly good at producing level two antidote pills. No wonder he can produce top-grade ones..."
The Shao family members did not talk much.
Now that Shao Lin is fine, they should continue their individual recovery.
Now, defending the city is the most important thing.
Shao Lin hadn't consumed much of his Xuan energy, and after being detoxified, he recovered the fastest.
Then, he went to the battlefield again.
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan soon engaged in battle with the barbarian birds again.
At his peak, Zhong Cai was incredibly agile, his meteor hammer darting about and swung with impressive force.
Wu Shaogan's performance remained as stable as before.
He had clearly been slaughtering for quite some time and frequently unleashed powerful attacks, yet he still didn't seem to conserve his Xuan energy. Instead, whenever it was time to strike, he continued to unleash powerful attacks without hesitation.
You couldn't tell how much he had expended, and there was no sign of him showing any signs of weakness.
Zhong Cai, however, was quite shrewd.
After all, in order to verify his master Wu's strength, Zhong Cai had been accompanying him to unleash his ultimate moves for a long time to test his limits.
His family's old man's profound energy is extremely enduring.
At least during this period of defending the city, Lao Wu was far from reaching his limit.
·
Birds in the sky seem to have no limits.
The flock of birds, which had been weakened by the various beams and cannons of light, still swooped down in overwhelming numbers... While the cultivators were fighting the flock of birds, many more birds came in from behind to reinforce them.
After several rounds of battle, many of the rogue cultivators who were assisting the Shao family cultivators were also exhausted, and many more died directly from the attacks of the flying birds.
The injuries to the Shao family members were getting worse.
Even though all cultivators would take time to enter the fortress to recover and heal, and were in their best condition each time they participated in battle, the mental fatigue would become irreversible as time went by.
I'm so tired.
When you're extremely tired, your physical reactions become sluggish.
This slight delay has led to very serious consequences.
At best, one will be injured; at worst, one will die.
·
Zhong Cai has also taken several breaks.
After the intense fighting, he also felt mentally exhausted.
Zhong Cai pulled Wu Shaogan and said, "Come on, you're almost exhausted too."
Wu Shaogan then led Zhong Cai into the fortress.
Indeed, Wu Shaogan's profound energy is now reduced to only one-tenth.
Zhong Cai indeed understood him, and his estimate was very accurate.
The two sat cross-legged in the corner, recovering together.
Zhong took out a bottle and handed it to Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan took it and took a sip.
Slowly, a force surged into his body, filling his parched Dao Palace with a layer of white "mist".
This is precisely the Xuan power that replenished him.
·
The bottle contains a third-tier precious medicine that can replenish Xuan energy.
Zhong Cai did not study the second-level Qi-tonifying pills.
After all, he himself wouldn't need it, and even if he refined a top-grade one, its effects would be greatly weakened after his old man took it.
Therefore, Zhong Cai chose to do the same thing as other rare medicines for the soul.
Xiang Lin was sent to buy precious medicine to replenish Xuan power, while Zhong Cai took the time to use a third-grade wood-fire to extract the medicinal liquid and remove impurities.
While Wu Shaogan's direct consumption of this medicinal liquid would not be as effective as a level three similar pill, its efficacy would be stronger than that of a level two top-grade Qi-replenishing pill.
Zhong Cai was a person who liked to hoard things, so he had dozens of bottles of this medicine in his mustard seed ring.
After one or two bottles, Wu Shaogan was almost fully recovered.
With such a large number, there should be enough for this beast tide at least.
·
Wu Shaogan quickly swallowed the entire bottle of medicine, and his Xuan power was mostly restored.
Zhong Cai had a top-grade Qi-replenishing pill, and recovered even faster than him.
However, Zhong Cai had no intention of going out on his own. Instead, he kept an eye on his old man Wu's situation and occasionally glanced outside the fortress.
Wu Shaogan also had a lot of the medicinal liquid that Zhong Cai had given him in advance in his mustard seed ring. He took out a bottle and completed the follow-up recovery.
The medicine is very effective.
After about half an hour, Wu Shaogan's aura became very strong.
Zhong Cai looked at him and exclaimed, "The longer you persist, the fewer times you need to replenish, which is convenient."
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly: "When A Cai reaches the ninth level of the Palace of Opening, she will have a solid foundation."
Zhong Cai nodded and said, "Of course."
Not wanting to waste time, the two, seeing that they had both recovered, prepared to continue.
But at that moment, many patterns appeared on the walls inside the fortress.
Zhong Cai was surprised to find that the surrounding space had become larger.
Wu Shaogan glanced at the array patterns and said in a low voice, "The array must have expanded the space here."
Zhong Cai felt that something must have changed outside.
really!
Many cultivators poured in rapidly from the entrances on both sides of the fortress.
The Shao family members, many independent cultivators...
The cultivators who were originally guarding that section of the city wall all came in.
Zhong Cai was somewhat stunned when his body suddenly swayed.
Wu Shaogan immediately reached out and protected him.
Zhong Cai took a deep breath: "What... happened?"
Before they could finish speaking, not only Zhong Cai, but many cultivators swayed and stumbled, supporting each other as they struggled to stay upright.
It turned out that the entire fortress was shaking.
At the same moment, at the entrance of the fortress, a cultivator let out a scream.
Zhong Cai looked over instantly.
There was a member of the Shao family who was at the Palace-Opening Realm, with an extremely sharp claw protruding from his chest.
Several members of the Shao family immediately tried to rush over, but they were captured by their clansmen who were at the Enlightenment Realm.
"No! That's a fourth-tier savage bird!"
At this moment, the son of the Bigong Shao family, who had failed to enter the fortress in time, was dragged out.
Blood gushed down, forming a small pool at the entrance of the fortress.
The corpse of the Shao family member was quickly chewed up by the huge bird's beak, which also exposed the terrifying bird's head at the entrance.
The head was enormous; what was exposed was not even its entirety.
After finishing the Shao family's food, the bird's eyes gleamed with a greedy appetite, and its huge beak fiercely pecked at the entrance of the fortress!
A loud, intense buzzing sound rang out!
At the entrance to the fortress, an invisible barrier blocked the bird's beak.
The bird's beak failed to penetrate the fortress, but it fiercely pecked repeatedly, causing a continuous buzzing sound that was almost explosive!
Such terrifying power is indeed at the fourth tier!
·
The buzzing sound also struck Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai was quite strong, but the aftershocks of this attack, which was beyond his level, still caused him intense pain.
Fortunately, the defensive jade pendant withstood the impact.
Zhong Cai only felt a muffled buzzing in his head, but unlike many cultivators, he was not shaken to the point of bleeding from his seven orifices.
The cultivators who had been enlightened were not seriously injured by the residual force, so they went to the round table to get pills and distributed them to the cultivators who had fallen to the ground.
The only saving grace was that the fortress itself mitigated these aftershocks.
Therefore, even cultivators with weak resistance did not perish as a result.
·
As the fourth-tier savage bird continued its attacks, attempting to break into the fortress, its body suddenly stopped.
As if grabbed by something, it slowly moved backward—as if it were being forcibly dragged backward.
A violent voice boomed: "Beast! How dare you eat members of my Shao family! Die!"
The fourth-tier savage bird let out a sharp cry, once again impacting the cultivators in the fortress.
But soon, the savage bird moved away from the fortress.
A cultivator who had been enlightened walked to the entrance of the fortress and looked out.
Wu Shaogan, protecting Zhong Cai, also came closer.
·
Zhong Cai immediately saw that a huge hand, formed from Xuan power, was grabbing and dragging the enormous savage bird by its long tail.
The savage bird screamed frantically and struggled incessantly, but it couldn't break free at all!
It turned out that an extremely large crimson spear had pierced its back, pinning it firmly to the city wall!
The power of that giant hand was terrifying. With its pull, the crimson spear, following this force, forcefully sliced through the flesh and bones of the savage bird. And the savage bird's body was thus completely cleaved open.
Many internal organs rolled off, emitting a pungent, fishy smell.
The bird's cries grew fainter and fainter, and it died quickly.
The entire process took only a few breaths.
·
Zhong Cai looked in the direction of the large hand and gradually raised her head.
High in the sky in that direction, a burly man in crimson armor stood with a furious expression, his hands gripping and dragging.
After the savage bird died, he casually stopped.
He had already taken the huge carcass of the savage bird.
On the city wall, the crimson spear remained firmly planted in the ground.
The burly man waved again.
The crimson spear wobbled rapidly a few times, then flew backward and was caught in the burly man's hand!
Immediately afterwards, the burly man vanished in a flash.
In the next instant, he appeared in front of the city wall.
·
Wu Shaogan said, "The cultivator of Xuanzhao."
Zhong Cai sighed, "We're a little late."
Wu Shaogan said softly, "I'm afraid we won't make it in time."
Zhong Cai thought for a moment and nodded.
·
The two walked to the side of the fortress.
Between the walls there were narrow, gleaming windows.
There were already cultivators observing there.
However, the window was quite long, so the two of them were able to find a suitable spot.
Zhong Cai looked outside.
In front of the city gate, several male and female cultivators exuding a terrifying aura were flying in the air.
They were all cultivators at the Suspended Illumination Realm, each wielding powerful weapons, constantly battling against fourth-tier savage birds.
Fourth-tier savage birds are even more agile when they fly, and their sharp claws and beaks are extremely terrifying weapons. Every time they collide with cultivators of the Suspended Illumination Realm, the clashing sounds of their sharp weapons are incredibly piercing, practically a mental attack.
The cultivators of the Suspended Illumination Cultivator have many secret techniques, but the savage birds are not easy to deal with.
They were all at the same level. Even though the savage birds had relatively fewer tricks up their sleeves, each of Xuanzhao's opponents was not just one fourth-tier savage bird.
Even the least number of people will have to deal with two or three.
The cultivators of the Suspended Illumination Realm were besieged by fourth-order savage birds. They moved among their enormous bodies and appeared extremely small.
Therefore, each of their secret techniques must be imbued with immense power; otherwise, even if they land on the savage birds, the damage they inflict will be extremely limited.
Therefore, every move he makes is a powerful one.
The consumption of profound energy is therefore considerable.
·
This was the situation in front of the city gate; below the city gate, the battle was even more brutal.
Numerous cultivators of the Suspended Illumination Realm moved swiftly among the fourth-tier savage beasts, slaughtering them rapidly.
However, the fur and scales of fourth-tier beasts are extremely tough, and it is difficult to seriously injure them unless you attack their weak points.
Moreover, there were many second- and third-tier savage beasts around taking advantage of the opportunity to attack and kill.
The Ancestors of Suspended Illumination not only have to deal with the threat of fourth-order savage beasts.
Some lower-level savage beasts, using their powerful physiques, can also inflict damage on cultivators who have attained enlightenment, provided they seize the opportunity.
While fourth-tier savage beasts might tolerate such low-level assistance, the Ancestors of Suspended Illumination would not summon cultivators with Palace Opening or Blessing Cultivation abilities to help—even a slight bump from a fourth-tier savage beast would be extremely terrifying for a low-level cultivator.
Fourth-tier savage beasts don't care about the damage to lower-level savage beasts, but these cultivators of the Suspended Illumination Realm care about the casualties of their own people!
then……
Many of the Elder Ancestors of Suspended Illumination were able to dodge the attacks of fourth-tier savage beasts with vigilance, but they suffered many injuries from second- and third-tier savage beasts.
The injury wasn't serious, but it would restrict the cultivator's agility.
This makes it less precise for them to strike when fighting fourth-tier beasts.
Even a slight impact can allow a fourth-tier beast to avoid fatal damage.
·
Zhong Cai looked at the various scenes with a solemn expression.
Those ancestors of the Suspended Illumination Sect... were almost all covered in blood.
No wonder that burly cultivator was late; he must have already done his best and was simply too busy to be in two places at once.
Wu Shaogan said, "He's here to save the day; there's a lot to save."
Zhong Cai nodded again.
The battle scenes on and off the city walls were so intense that there wasn't even a clear space for the lights.
At this moment, the burly cultivator was still wandering around the other fortresses, killing the few fourth-tier savage birds that took advantage of the opportunity to attack.
·
At the entrance to each fortress, cultivators died in the mouths of fourth-tier savage birds.
As early as when the fourth-tier savage beasts launched their attack, many cultivators guarding the city walls had already rushed into the fortress in an attempt to escape them.
However, the cultivators' movement speeds varied.
