Shi Xuan has been in seclusion for the past few days, constantly refining pills. She has a premonition that this beast tide is different from the usual ones, especially considering the events of the [New Life] organization and the beast tide in the Silver Frost Secret Realm. She feels that these events are related.
As expected, fifteen days later, no good news came; instead, an even more ferocious beast tide attack arrived.
Their defense only lasted a day before they couldn't hold on any longer and had to call her.
Shi Xuan finished collecting the last batch of pills and walked out of her courtyard.
The noise outside was deafening, and the sunset glow made Shi Xuan feel their exhaustion even before they reached the city wall.
Beneath the city walls, many cultivators were injured, and some even perished.
When Xuan arrived, Shi Tianjiao felt a sense of hope.
In this urgent situation, Shi Xuan didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "Lord Shi, may we seek help from the Six Sects again?"
Shi Tianjiao: "The moment the second wave of beasts attacked, I sought help from the six sects again, asking them to send higher-level cultivators to assist us this time."
Shi Xuan nodded. If this continues, the reinforcements should arrive in two days at the earliest.
"Second Senior Brother, how about you select a few cultivators to take with you this time to throw Explosive Pills?"
The later cultivators didn't know, but those who saw her throw it the first time were all thinking to themselves: What kind of explosive pill is this? Does she think they've never seen an explosive pill before? There's no such thing as an explosive pill!
Lu Wenxing was covered in blood, but he still grinned, revealing his bright white teeth, and said, "Junior Sister, don't worry, leave it to Second Senior Brother!"
Shi Xuan gave him ten compound high-potency explosive pills, then took out the puppet sword, stood on it, and flew away into the distance with Lu Wenxing and the others.
After overcoming numerous obstacles to reach the rear of the beast horde, Shi Xuan was the first to throw the compound, potent explosive pills into the middle of the beast horde, triggering the first enormous mushroom cloud.
The enormous explosion reached Qingshui City. Those who had experienced the first one were already calm, but the cultivators who arrived after Shi Xuan went into seclusion were all stunned. Just when they were about to give up, the city lord said he was going to find Shi Xuan. The power of the explosion was just too great.
They had long heard of Shi Xuan's great name, because the fact that she produced the Radiant Light Dao Seal was known to almost everyone in the entire Qian Yuan Realm cultivation world.
I never expected that she could refine such a powerful pill. No, can this still be called a pill?
On Shi Xuan's side, after she threw the first one, the monsters centered on the throwing point were either killed or injured, and the rest scattered and fled in all directions.
She didn't stop, but flew to the two sides with Lu Wenxing and threw two more explosive pills in the places where the monsters were running the most. Then, with the first throwing point as the center, the two threw four more pills next to it, blasting out a huge circular open space.
At this moment, Shi Xuan stopped and turned to Lu Wenxing, saying, "Second Senior Brother, go back first. I'll stay here alone."
Lu Wenxing exclaimed in surprise, "How can that be? What are you going to do here alone?!"
Shi Xuan gave him a reassuring smile and said, "How could Second Senior Brother not trust me? When have I, your junior sister, ever made a losing deal? The reason I'm not letting you stay here is because I'm going to beat the Soul-Suppressing Drum. If you're not afraid of getting a headache, then you can stay."
Lu Wenxing decided to follow Shi Xuan's arrangement and flew back to the city with the cultivators who had come out with him on their swords.
At this moment, Shi Xuan retrieved the Soul-Suppressing Drum from her spatial storage and released the puppet from her Silver Frost, since the puppet was not afraid of the drum's sound.
There were twelve puppets in Silver Frost. After releasing them all, she arranged them in a circle around herself and then consumed a Giant Strength Pill.
In fact, with her current cultivation level, she no longer needs to consume the Giant Strength Pill to strike the Soul-Suppressing Drum, but today's situation is special, and she needs a larger range of influence.
Shi Xuan took a deep breath, simultaneously activating the Myriad Life Circulation to its maximum and guiding the puppet sword to ascend into the air. Once it reached a certain height, she released the Concealed Edge Sword, which hovered in the air.
At this moment, she fixed the Soul-Suppressing Drum in front of her and swung the drumsticks to strike the Soul-Suppressing Drum fiercely!
The drumsticks tore through the air, creating a sharp whistling sound, and slammed into the drumhead. Terrifying sound waves spread outwards in a ring at high speed, and for a moment, the surrounding scenery seemed to distort.
The silent soul attack struck the surrounding demonic beasts, causing them to contort in agony for an instant.
The attack range was extremely large; even the friendly troops standing on the city wall felt a sharp pain in their brains, as if someone had smashed their brains with a huge iron hammer.
Some of the disciples with lower cultivation levels turned pale and hurriedly took several steps back. The formation master quickly set up an isolation formation, letting the lower-level disciples inside.
Meanwhile, the demonic beasts that were closer to Shi Xuan were almost insane. At first, they still had some sense, and once they saw Shi Xuan's direction, they rushed over as if they wanted to tear this source of their suffering to pieces!
However, the innermost circle of monsters were already injured in the explosion, and even if they charged forward, they would be no match for them. They were easily defeated by the puppets guarding around Shi Xuan.
The flying monsters in the air were all handed over to the Concealing Edge Sword. It hadn't been out to play for a long time, and now that it was free, it could kill at will, and it was so happy that it flew away.
Flying demonic beasts were already a tiny minority, and they were even more affected by the Soul-Suppressing Drum, nearly losing their balance and falling the moment they were injured. Now, as they flew over crookedly, their swords flashing and flying, they couldn't get close at all.
After Shi Xuan struck the drumstick once, he channeled his spiritual energy into it again and struck it down heavily.
With this second strike, some of the lower-level demonic beasts were already going berserk from the pain.
Meanwhile, most of the flying monsters in the air were shaken so badly that they lost their flight and fell straight down, making it even easier for the Concealing Edge Sword.
On the ground, after the initial group of injured people were dealt with, Shi Xuan temporarily put away the puppets, since the monsters on the ground couldn't attack her for the time being.
All she needs to do is focus on playing the drums.
So Shi Xuan treated the Soul-Suppressing Drum like a broken gong from a circus, banging it one after another with great enthusiasm.
The demonic beasts affected by her eventually went berserk under the relentless attacks on their souls.
A frenzied infighting broke out on the ground, with monsters attacking each other indiscriminately, their minds clouded by the drumbeats.
Conversely, the pressure on the city defenses decreased instantly, and the fighting cultivators even retreated back into the city to rest.
In order to control a larger attack range, Shi Xuan's spiritual energy was drained very quickly. In a short while, she had already started taking spirit-restoring pills and pain-relieving pills, even under the premise that the Myriad Things Life was constantly running.
After an unknown amount of time, the low- to mid-level monsters had almost finished killing each other, and Shi Xuan released the puppets again to harvest the wounded monsters.
