As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Mingyuan's fighting spirit surged once more, and his peak Creation Realm spiritual power erupted like a volcano, condensing into a golden shield of light above the city wall.
The light shield was engraved with complex runes and emitted a dazzling light, completely enveloping the airspace in front of the Moon Gazing Gate.
As if stunned by the shield of light, the rapidly spreading demonic energy paused for a moment when it reached the area beneath it, and the roars from within the mist became even more ferocious.
Yet no demon soldiers dared to rush out of the mist and step into the area covered by the light shield.
Watching this scene, Xiao Chen sighed inwardly. As expected of a peak Creation Realm expert, Lu Mingyuan was able to temporarily intimidate tens of thousands of demon soldiers with just a fighting spirit and a spiritual energy shield, buying time for the defense of the city.
"Everyone, get ready!" Lu Mingyuan turned to the cultivators on the city wall and shouted, "The fog formed by demonic energy will soon cover the city gate. When visibility is obstructed, the demonic soldiers may launch an attack at any time!"
"Everyone, hold your posts! Archers, prepare your demon-slaying arrows! Formation team, activate the city gate defense array! Attack immediately if any demon soldiers approach!"
"yes!"
The cultivators on the city wall responded in unison and sprang into action. The archers nocked their arrows, which gleamed with the light of demon-dispelling runes.
The cultivators of the formation team quickly formed hand seals, and the defensive runes on the city gate instantly lit up, echoing Lu Mingyuan's golden light shield; Xiao Chen gripped his rusty iron spear tightly, the spear intent swirling around the tip, ready to deal with the demonic soldiers rushing out of the mist at any moment.
Stone gripped his spiked club tightly, his sharp eyes fixed on the black mist ahead. The Nine Nether Demon God Body within him stirred restlessly, yearning for battle against the demon soldiers.
The black fog drew ever closer, gradually enveloping the plain in front of Wangyue Gate. Visibility decreased, and only faint shadows could be seen moving through the fog.
The atmosphere on the city wall froze instantly, everyone tense, waiting for the first wave of attacks from the demon soldiers.
Lu Mingyuan remained standing at the forefront of the city wall, his golden light shield firmly in front of him, his gaze piercing as he stared intently into the fog.
He knew that this battle to defend the city had only just begun, and he had to hold this first line of defense and not let the demon soldiers set foot in Sunlight City!
Black demonic energy surged across the plain in front of Wangyue Gate like a tide. In just a few breaths, the entire city gate was shrouded in thick black mist, reducing visibility to less than three zhang.
In the fog, countless demonic soldiers swayed, their roars and footsteps mingling together like muffled thunder, making it hard to breathe.
Those were tens of thousands of demon soldiers, wielding bone knives and spears, arrayed in the black mist, waiting for a command to charge towards the city gate.
"Oh no! It's a high-ranking demon!"
Lu Mingyuan suddenly let out a low shout, his gaze fixed on the depths of the black mist, where six powerful auras soared into the sky, one of which was particularly terrifying.
He was at the same peak of the Creation Realm as him, and the other five were all at the early to late stages of the Creation Realm!
"One peak Creation Realm expert, five Creation Realm experts..." Xiao Chen's heart sank. Such a lineup...
This is even more troublesome than the three Creation Realm demons we encountered in the valley before, especially the one at the peak of Creation Realm, whose strength is probably no less than Lu Mingyuan's.
From within the black mist, the demon leader slowly revealed himself, clad in black scale armor, his sharp horns gleaming coldly.
He held a massive bone axe in his hand, and his body was surrounded by demonic energy far more concentrated than that of other demons.
His gaze swept over the human cultivators on the city wall, a cruel smile on his face: "You little Sun City dare to block my demon army? Today, I will raze this city to the ground and make you all food for my race!"
Just then, two powerful auras suddenly erupted from the city wall, and Lin Jingxing and Luo Qingyang simultaneously took a step forward.
His spiritual power surged, and the golden dragon flames and white spatial power intertwined, both exuding the pressure of the early stage of the Creation Realm!
"boom!"
Two powerful auras exploded like thunder, and the cultivators on the city wall all turned their heads, their faces full of shock. No one expected that Lin Jingxing and Luo Qingyang had actually broken through to the Creation Realm!
"You guys..." Lu Mingyuan was also stunned for a moment, then a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, "Good! Good! As expected of the best of the younger generation, you have quietly made a breakthrough. Now we have two more chances of winning!"
Lin Jingxing gripped the Dragon Flame Sword, his tone brimming with confidence: "Senior Lu, I encountered a bottleneck during my training in the forbidden area. After returning to the sect, I secluded myself for several days and managed to break through to the Creation Realm. Today, I'll let these demons taste my power!"
Luo Qingyang nodded, the silk threads on his white jade whisk trembling slightly: "Brother Lin and I broke through together, so we can join forces to deal with a Creation Realm demon!"
It turns out that after their training in the forbidden area where souls return to their home, both of them found an opportunity for a breakthrough, but they kept it a secret, wanting to give the demons a surprise at the crucial moment.
Now, facing the high-level combat power of the demon race, they no longer concealed their strength and directly revealed their Creation Realm power.
Xiao Chen glanced at the two, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. He then stepped forward, his rusty iron spear trembling slightly, unleashing a pure and sharp spear intent that soared into the sky.
The spear intent carried an unstoppable sharpness, like a sword piercing through the black mist, heading straight for the demon opposite. Although it did not reveal its cultivation level, it caused the demon leader, who was at the peak of the Creation Realm, to shrink his pupils slightly.
After his mental cleansing during his training in the forbidden area, Xiao Chen's strength was no longer what it used to be. His peak Dao attainment realm was completely solidified, and his spear intent had entered a new realm. Even when facing a demon in the Creation Realm, he had the power to fight!
Stone followed suit, and although he didn't unleash a powerful aura, he exuded a heavy sense of oppression.
Nourished by demonic energy, his Nine Netherworld Demon God Body was showing signs of breakthrough, his physical strength was stronger than before, and his eyes were filled with fighting spirit as he looked at the demons in the black mist.
The two stood on the city wall, one in front of the other. Although they did not speak, their attitude was very clear: they also wanted to receive a demon of the Creation Realm!
"Interesting." The demon leader looked at the crowd on the city wall, a playful smile playing on his lips. "I didn't expect such a small city like Sunlight City to have so many cultivators at the Creation Realm. However..."
His gaze suddenly fell on the stone, his smile instantly froze, and a hint of disbelief and apprehension flashed in his eyes.
For some reason, looking at that seemingly ordinary body cultivator, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were not facing a human cultivator.
Rather, it was some terrifying entity that could restrain him, causing the demonic energy within his body to become somewhat restless.
"That body cultivator... what's his background?" The demon leader muttered to himself, a hint of uncertainty creeping into his heart for the first time regarding this siege.
He could sense an aura emanating from the stone that instilled a sense of instinctive fear in him—a feeling he had only ever experienced when facing the most ancient demon god of his tribe.
On the city wall, Lu Mingyuan saw that his side now had four combatants capable of fighting against those at the Creation Realm: himself, Lin Jingxing, Luo Qingyang, Xiao Chen, and Shi Tou could hold one back. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was slightly relieved.
