207 The Crisis In Changping

Compared to Ye Xuan and the others who had escaped from death, Changping’s condition wasn’t much better.

The demonic beasts that covered the sky and the earth surrounded Changping so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through. Some were flying in the sky, and some were walking on the ground. They were so densely packed that it was hard to breathe.

The most terrifying thing was that there were a few huge black shadows behind the army of demonic beasts. They were hidden in the beast horde, and the aura they emitted was chilling.

It was hard to imagine how deep their cultivation was. If they attacked, the city wall wouldn’t be able to last long no matter how strong it was.

The number of demonic beasts was simply too large. There was still an endless stream of demonic beasts coming out of the forest behind them. Among them, there were carnivorous and herbivorous demonic beasts. Even the demonic beasts, who were each other’s natural enemies, were getting along well at this time.

Yi Chengrui and the others stood on the city wall, their hearts falling to the bottom. He said in a low voice, “It seems like there must be a high-level demonic beast leading them in the beast horde.”

Otherwise, the demonic beast army wouldn’t have been so orderly. There were many of them, but they didn’t seem to be in a mess.

Seeing that more and more demonic beasts were gathering with no signs of leaving, Yi Chengrui knew that a fierce battle was inevitable.

“Roar!”

With earth-shaking roars, the low-level demonic beasts had already launched their attacks. Everyone knew that they were only vanguards to test the water.

Accompanied by the constant buzzing and flapping of wings, the Golden-Winged Birds, Scarlet Poison-Tailed Bees, Bloody-Horned Purple-Winged Eagles, Thunderflame Windwolves, and other demonic beasts in the sky had already launched their attacks.

There were too many demonic beasts in the sky, so much so that the top of everyone’s head was covered by shadows. Looking at their sharp claws and fangs, as well as the sharp beaks unique to birds, everyone was stunned.

Yi Chengrui and the others were suddenly shocked. He ordered, “Hurry up and stop them.”

Colorful spiritual power bloomed in the sky like bright fireworks. From time to time, bird-type demonic beasts were shot down and their feathers floated in the air.

The scene in front of them was actually quite beautiful, but no one was in the mood to appreciate it.

It was as if those birds were not afraid of death. Even if one was shot down, there were still hundreds or thousands of them behind, it was simply endless. If it were not for the city’s protective array, their sharp claws and teeth would have cut off a large piece of flesh.

“This won’t do, City Lord. There are too many birds. We can’t kill them all.”

Yi Chengrui’s palm condensed a large amount of spiritual light, which instantly turned into pieces of ice blades. Those ice blades then divided into countless ice awls, which accurately fell on the eyes of those demonic beasts like a storm of icicles, instantly making them lose their fighting power.

He knew that if he killed these demonic beasts, it would consume too much spiritual energy and it wouldn’t be worth it. At this moment, the demonic beast horde was only increasing and not decreasing. He had to preserve his combat power, so he could only use this kind of trick. Nevertheless, this was a good idea.

“We have to fight even if we can’t kill all of them. Think of a way. As long as we persist for a while longer. What did the messenger say?”

“They said that they’ve been contacting the outside world, but there’s no response. Some kind of force and magnetic field might be affecting it, so the outside world can’t receive any information from us.”

Yi Chengrui gritted his teeth and ordered, “Get them to try again!”

The sky outside the city wall seemed to have suddenly turned dark, but in fact, there were too many bird-type demonic beasts surrounding it. The weak light of the city’s protective array blocked the advance of these demonic beasts, and it became the only comfort in everyone’s heart.

As long as the array was still here, these demonic beasts would not be able to enter. Changping was like an isolated island that was surrounded, or like a firefly in the dark, attracting countless demonic beasts.

To make matters worse, it wasn’t just the bird-type demonic beasts. Under their cover, the demonic beasts on land also began to move.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A violent commotion not far away attracted everyone’s attention.

A large group of Silver-Horned Rhinoceros ran over from a distance and slammed into the array. Even the ground trembled, and the people on the city wall also felt the tremor.

There were even a few people who almost lost their balance and fell off the wall. Fortunately, the others were quick to catch them.

If they had fallen into the beast horde, not even their bones would have been left.

The Silver-Horned Rhinoceros was known for its defense. This collision immediately created a lot of sparks. Everyone was very nervous, afraid that the city wall would collapse from their collision. Fortunately, the city wall still held up.

However, the light of the array was no longer as bright as it was before.

The Silver-Horned Rhinoceros was full of brute force, but they still persevered and continued to knock into the city wall. At the same time, the other powerful demonic beasts also moved upon hearing the commotion.

The people saw a demonic beast that looked like an ox but it was not an ox. Its body was covered in scales and there were two long horns on its head. When it stood up, it was almost as tall as half a floor.

It suddenly opened its mouth and spat out scorching flames that enveloped the entire city. The raging flames soared into the sky.

Although the array could isolate the attacks of these demonic beasts, everyone could clearly feel the rise in the surrounding temperature. Even the green bricks on the city wall felt hot to the touch.

If this continued, they would probably be cooked.

Yi Chengrui made a prompt decision and divided his men into two groups. One group dealt with the birds in the sky, while the other group dealt with the demonic beasts on the ground.

Because the demonic beasts were too densely packed, and some of them had huge bodies, their movements were restricted. Everyone’s attacks accurately landed on the demonic beasts, and some of the beasts didn’t even dodge.

The demonic beasts with weak defense or low cultivation were killed on the spot.

The fire was getting more and more intense, and the black bricks almost turned red. The demonic beast was still spewing fire around the city wall.
