Chapter 1161: Sword Dao Master (Additional update, please give me a monthly ticket)
"City Lord, something terrible has happened. The third reconnaissance team has come to report that a great demon king is attacking outside the city, and it is suspected that a beast tide is about to break out!"
"What did you say?!" City Lord Zhang's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard the news. He stood up suddenly, and his movement was so big that he directly overturned the table.
"Quickly gather the commander of the guard army and the other two deputy city lords..."
The great demon king attacked and a tide of beasts broke out, which soon alarmed all the top leaders of Muxue City.
The atmosphere in the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion was as solemn as leaden clouds. The maids who served tea and water were even more cautious, for fear of breaking taboos and causing the anger of these big shots to vent on themselves.
"According to the captain of the third investigation team, the number of monsters outside Muxue City is scarce. Is it because they were summoned by the Great Monster King?"
"And there is more than one Great Demon King. They include the Cold Elephant Great Demon King, the White Snake Great Demon King, and the other two Great Demon Kings that we didn't see clearly?" Deputy City Lord Yao was extremely moved.
"Has the intelligence been confirmed to be correct? Why didn't the captain of the third reconnaissance team report here?"
"After he told the information to the guards at the city gate, he was seriously injured and fell into a coma. How come, does Deputy City Lord Ma have a way to wake him up?" The guard army commander Gongsun asked with narrowed eyes, and he could hear the unfriendly tone in Deputy City Lord Ma's voice.
"How is it impossible? There are four great demon kings. The leader, the Great Demon King of Frost Elephant, has been wreaking havoc on the ice field for more than a thousand years. Countless fusion cultivators have been trampled to death by it. It is said that it has already advanced to the late stage of fusion. Facing the Great Demon King of Frost Elephant, how can a mere reconnaissance team escape?"
"I think this captain might be a spy bribed by other cities. He fabricated false information to deceive us and make us lose our minds!"
Commander Gongsun said angrily: "What nonsense! You still doubt that the person I chose is fake!"
The situation in the meeting hall suddenly became tense, and the two combined monks seemed ready to fight if they disagreed.
The city lord who had been silent all this time spoke up. He had absolute authority in the city. It was not an exaggeration to say that Mu Xuecheng was built by him. "Okay, Xiao Ma, this should be true. Although monsters and the like do not have intelligence, the Frost Elephant Monster King is, after all, an old monster in the late stage of fusion. It is not surprising that he has some intelligence."
"It let the team leader run away. I'm afraid it did it on purpose, just to let us know about this in advance and provoke us."
Everyone was silent. What the city lord said was like the final conclusion. The five people present were all in the fusion stage, but facing the four great demon kings and the fierce and fearless beast tide, they still felt powerless.
"Now that things have come to this, we can only fight forward."
The city lord stood up and said in a deep voice that Muxue City was his hard work and he couldn't just give it up like that.
"The whole city is on alert. Deputy City Lord Ma, gather all the cultivators from the city's sects, academies, gangs, and other forces. All cultivators, regardless of their level, must participate in the battle!"
"Commander Gongsun, mobilize the guards and put the entire city on alert."
Orders were issued one after another, and although the war had not yet begun, everyone felt the tension of an impending storm.
"Deputy City Lord Yao, take a few people to scout the enemy and determine the scale of the beast tide. Remember, do not get close to the Great Demon King!"
"yes!"
…
In the snowstorm, Deputy City Lord Yao accepted the order, got ready, and led a few brave confidants, all in silence.
Several trusted men were trembling with fear. Although they were brave, they were not brave warriors. If they were noticed by the four great demon kings, it would be difficult for Lord Yao to protect himself, not to mention protecting them.
"Master Yao, how about we send a few Yuanying stage people to investigate the situation? Why don't we just not go over there?"
"Hu Yan, what can you understand at the Nascent Soul stage? Are you trying to escape from the battlefield? If we can't get through this beast tide, you and I will have a chance to escape, but what about our wives and children? Are you going to abandon them?"
To be honest, Deputy City Lord Yao was also afraid. What's the use of being afraid? Sooner or later, they would have to face the beast tide. Gathering intelligence in advance and making preparations early could give them a glimmer of hope.
"But……"
"Be quiet, the beast tide is approaching!"
Several close associates were so frightened that they dared not speak.
They approached quietly, their brows gradually furrowed, and they felt uneasy.
Why was the beast tide so quiet this time, contrary to its usual state? The silence made them feel uneasy.
They bravely approached and their heartbeats slowed down when they saw the unbelievable scene.
The corpses of the monsters piled up like a mountain. The heavy snow almost covered the corpses and also concealed the bloody smell. The monsters died with their eyes open, as if they had encountered a great terror that was unspeakable in words.
"Is it, is there an internal conflict among the great demon kings?" a confidant asked tremblingly, and he himself found the question funny.
What kind of existence killed these monsters? Is the other party still here? When they thought of this, their hearts rose to their throats and they dared not breathe.
They landed quietly and looked around carefully, fearing to alarm the terrifying and powerful enemy.
Several huge figures blocked their way. The north wind blew away the cold air covering these figures. When everyone saw the huge figures clearly, a chill went up from the soles of their feet to their heads.
The corpse of the great demon king.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"Look, it's swimming in the snow. It's said to be the Northern Whale King from the Kunpeng clan! It's been split in two!"
"That was the Sabre-toothed Tiger King. He once launched a beast tide and destroyed Yong'an City, which was ruled by two powerful combined beings. One of them was Deputy City Lord Ma. That's why he fled to our Muxue City!"
"That is the White Snake King. Legend has it that his invisibility skills are unrivaled in the world. Even the most powerful beings in their combined strength have been killed by his sneak attacks!"
Suddenly, one of his confidants fell to the ground with a thud, trembling as he pointed at the huge monster that was blocking him: "The Great Demon King Han, Han Xiang, has surrendered!"
The great demon king, the cold elephant, was still emitting cold air after his death, which shows how terrifying he was when he was alive.
But no matter how terrifying the legends about it were, it died in the ice and snow outside the city today.
Deputy City Lord Yao bravely checked the wound, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
The wounds were as neat as a mirror. No matter whether they were the little demons or the great demon king Cold Elephant, they were all cut off by one sword. There was no second move.
"This person can be called a master in the way of swordsmanship."
…
"Hurry up and save Teacher Lu! He must still be alive!" The students were guarding the city gate, anxiously persuading the guards.
The guards smiled bitterly at each other. How could a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator survive if he encountered a rodent-like demon rabbit? They were afraid that by the time these kids ran over, Teacher Lu would have been gnawed by the demon rabbits until only bones were left.
Even if they had the ability to rescue them, now that the beast tide was approaching and the higher-ups had issued a death order that no one was allowed to leave the city without the commander's order, it would be impossible for them to rescue anyone.
Fang Zhige, who had originally had great confidence in Teacher Lu, suddenly changed his expression when he heard the news of the beast tide.
No matter how powerful Mr. Lu is, he can't survive the beast tide. Their Nine Ghost Alliance is no match for the beast tide.
Gong Che looked at the snow outside the city and suddenly became excited: "Look, isn't that Teacher Lu?"
Fang Zhige shook his head: "How is it possible..."
"Students, the teacher is back." Lu Yang was carrying a sack of trophies, all rabbits.
"Although there were a lot of enemies, fortunately I had more ways to save my life, so I managed to survive." Lu Yang said with lingering fear.
