Chapter 225 – Violet Mansion VS Third Order Demonic Beasts
Chapter 225 – Violet Mansion VS Third Order Demonic Beasts
Second rank demonic beasts, appeared!
It could be ascertained that the number of Second Order Demonic Beasts that appeared right now had already exceeded the number of Second Order Demonic Beasts that appeared for the first time.
Moreover, at the back of those Second Order Demonic Beasts, there seemed to be more Second Order Demonic Beasts, ready to go.
Jiang Renyi, Jiang Renchuan, Jiang Yuncheng, Jiang Yunru, as well as the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Bishui Sword Pavilion and the Bai Clan, instantly realized that they, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, couldn’t continue to sit at this moment, and had to take action immediately.
“Everyone switch to magic weapon attacks!”
Immediately, Jiang Renyi and the other leading Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately ordered.
At this moment, the demonic beast was already less than twenty feet away from their Gu Yuan City.
If they were to use the Spirit Gathering Cannon or spells to attack again, it would inevitably be too sluggish.
It was necessary to switch to spell attacks.
Only a face-to-face magic weapon attack would be able to inflict the greatest kill on those demonic beasts.
And, it would not be easy for them to dodge.
Clang!
Buzz!
Giggle!
In an instant, the crowd of cultivators who received the order immediately offered up their respective magic weapons.
It was in the sky that countless sword-light and sword-mangles appeared in the twinkling of an eye.
Accompanied by a brilliant light of magic weapons.
Those bunch of demonic beasts that rushed at the very front instantly cast their respective attacks as well.
Or earth spikes, or poisonous mist, or boulders.
They all met the magic weapons attacked by the group of cultivators.
In an instant, a huge roar resounded once again.
There were demonic beasts whose bodies were split in two by their magic weapons, and there were also cultivators’ magic weapons that were knocked down by the combined efforts of several demonic beasts, their light dimming and losing their spirituality.
It could be seen.
Almost every moment, there were demonic beasts falling, and there were also cultivators who were seriously injured due to the heavy damage and loss of their magic weapons, thus spewing blood from their mouths.
The war, in an instant, fell into the most tragic stage.
Even the group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators led by Jiang Renyi and the others were likewise unable to remain idle at this time, and they all took on the second-order demonic beasts that came.
Just like that.
The entire battle, as soon as it came up, lasted for several days.
When the demonic beast side temporarily retreated, all the people located on the walls of the east gate were all relieved.
However, this also led to a tidal wave of exhaustion immediately coming from their bodies.
This kind of feeling, even for Jiang Renyi and other Foundation Establishment cultivators, could not be avoided at all.
It was really because in the past few days, everyone’s spirit was completely in a state of high tension.
Coupled with the fact that they had to constantly fight with demonic beasts, the rate of depletion on their true essence was simply several times or even dozens of times that of the past.
It was also thanks to the fact that they had the City Protector Formation to rely on, they could have a certain amount of time to take pills to recover their true essence and make a short rest.
Otherwise, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would not be able to withstand such a high-intensity battle continuously.
Not to mention those Qi Refining Stage cultivators who were not yet Foundation Establishment Stage.
Looking around at this moment.
Above the entire city wall, there were almost all cultivators either lying or sitting or leaning.
Their clothes were tattered and they looked exhausted.
On many of them, there were even patches of blood, and even wounds that were deep enough to be seen on the bones.
At this time, even the Immortal Child Cultivators who paid the most attention to their own image and appearance were completely devoid of any image to speak of.
Down to the scattered cultivators, up to the cultivators of the three major forces, now they all realized and experienced one thing, that is, the so-called war, exactly how terrible.
This is compared to their usual so-called fighting, and even killing, is simply a small thing.
That kind of almost every moment, there are lives perish, and at any time may follow the former dust feeling, simply to let a person collapse.
And this is only the first wave of demonic beast attacks.
According to the law summarized before and in the past.
After this time, the next wave of attack would most likely arrive after half a day or a day.
This was also the case.
Almost five or six hours later.
The figure of a demonic beast once again appeared in the distance.
Everyone heaved their spirits and prepared for the enemy.
This time, the attack of the demonic beasts was obviously much more violent than before.
It didn’t take long for the crowd of demonic beasts to reach the bottom of Gu Yuan City.
One attack after another also landed on top of Gu Yuan City’s third-order top-grade city protection formation, the Falling River Taiyi Formation.
Although with the might of the Fall River Taiyi Formation, the attacks of these demonic beasts at the moment could not pose much of a threat to it.
However, after a long time, it would still consume a certain degree of the might of the grand formation itself.
On the side of the demonic beasts, it was obvious that they knew this as well.
That’s why they used these low-ranked demonic beasts to act as cannon fodder.
Even if they could only weaken the power of the grand formation by one point, that would still be good.
Time passed bit by bit.
When the second wave ended and the third wave of demonic beasts attacked, Jiang Rendao, the Purple Mansion Superior who was responsible for presiding over the situation, suddenly swept out of the cave he was in and came to the sky above the city walls.
His gaze, moreover, passed through the countless densely packed demonic beasts in the distance, and landed on top of several huge figures at the very end of it.
The two sides stared at each other across the distance.
By his side, he didn’t know when, but there were two more figures.
It was none other than Li Fei of the Aqua Sword Pavilion, as well as Bai Zixuan of the Bai Clan.
On the faces of both of them, a slight look of gravity surfaced at this moment.
Only to hear Bai Zixuan speak, “Looking at this situation, when the next wave of attack comes, I’m afraid that there will be a true third-order demonic beast that will appear.”
At her words, neither Jiang Rendao nor Li Fei denied it, but nodded in silence.
Sure enough.
When the wave of offense ended.
When the next wave of attack came, behind the densely-packed demonic beasts, there were three huge figures that appeared.
They were the third-ranked Blistering Wind Rhinoceros, the third-ranked Earth Savage Bear, and the third-ranked Red Spirit Giant Rat.
This was a rodent-type demonic beast that reached a size of more than twenty meters, covered in red and yellow hair, and had a tail as sharp as a scythe.
The three third-order demonic beasts just appeared.
Jiang Rendao, Li Fei, and Bai Zixuan immediately reappeared in the sky above the east gate wall.
The strength of the three demonic beasts had all reached the middle grade of the third rank.
It was comparable to their human race’s mid-violet mansion cultivators.
“Roar!”
As if seeing the appearance of the three of them, the mouths of the three demonic beasts, the Blistering Wind Rhinoceros, the Earth Savage Bear, and the Red Spirit Giant Rat, all let out a tyrannical hiss.
Immediately afterward, they ordered the many low-ranked demonic beasts in front of them to attack Jiang Rendao’s Ancient Yuan City, where they were.
Rumble!
The earth shook and the soil and rocks tumbled.
In just a moment’s time, all the demonic beasts in front of them once again began to charge towards Ancient Yuan City.
Seeing this situation, the group of cultivators located on the city walls were suddenly like enemies.
The leader, Jiang Renyi, and the others even shouted out.
“Make a move!
Stop them!”
Brush brush brush-
In a blink of an eye, a spell, through the augmentation of the City Protector Formation, instantly landed far away from those charging demonic beasts.
The great battle, once again, fell into a white-hot stage.
And it was during this process that the three demonic beasts that had reached the third level of hierarchy, they were no longer idle and rushed towards Jiang Rendao and the others.
Seeing this, Jiang Rendao’s three eyes stared.
They glanced at each other.
Without any nonsense, they similarly flew to meet them.
If they allowed the three third-ranked demonic beasts to attack the grand formation at will, even though they would not be able to deal with the grand formation for a while, it would definitely be a not-so-small loss for the grand formation.
Therefore, they had to stop them.
Rumble!
Almost as soon as the two sides collided, extremely terrifying fluctuations erupted.
The high altitude immediately presented a twisted and mottled mass of light.
An appalling aura was emitted.
Both sides of the cultivators and demonic beasts that were fiercely battling each other temporarily paused for a moment under the influence of this fluctuation, and they all raised their heads to look at the sky.
Only to see that in the middle of the sky.
Jiang Rendao was holding the “Shadow Chopper” sword, and he was constantly colliding with the Red Spirit Giant Rat.
On top of that, there was a bright yellow colored shield in front of him, blocking all the attacks from the Red Spirit Giant Rat.
This shield was also the protective treasure Jiang Chengxuan had given him before the battle, called the Heavenly Yellow Ghost Shield, a middle grade of the third order.
With this, he was able to fight the Red Spirit Giant Mouse of the third rank.
On the other side, Li Fei, on the other hand, exchanged blows with the Earth Savage Bear.
With a cultivation of the seventh level of the Purple Mansion, together with a silver flying sword of the top grade of the third order, he had completely suppressed the earth savage bear into a disadvantage.
Even though this demon’s skin was thick and its defense was extremely strong.
But in front of the most advantageous flying sword treasure, it still lost every step, leaving countless large or small horrible wounds on its body.
As for the remaining Bai Zixuan, she was almost tied with the third-ranked Blistering Wind Rhinoceros.
One person and one demon, almost no one could help anyone.
But judging from the battlefield in front of them, the three of them on their side were clearly holding an absolute advantage.
It was only necessary to wait for Li Fei to kill the Earth Savage Bear and completely free up his hands.
Then the remaining Blistering Wind Rhinoceros and Red Spirit Giant Rat would naturally not be enough to worry about.
But obviously, the demonic beast side, would not give them such an opportunity.
Because right at this moment, two terrifying beast roars suddenly came from the back of the three people and three demons once again.
Immediately afterward, two terrifying auras surged forth.
The faces of the three people who were fighting with the Blistering Wind Rhinoceros, the Earth Savage Bear, and the Red Spirit Giant Mouse couldn’t help but all change slightly.
Only to see that behind them, a panther whose body was pitch black, but whose body surface was draped with countless cloud patterns, as well as a giant python whose body was silver-white, and whose body surface was draped with circles and circles of black patterns, had suddenly appeared.
These two demons were none other than the third-order Black Wind Cloud Striped Leopard, as well as the third-order Silver Ring Poison Python.
As soon as the two demons appeared, they directly pounced on Li Fei who was fighting with the Earth Savage Bear.
In an instant, a deep black wind spewed out from the Black Wind Cloud Striped Leopard’s mouth.
The Silver Ring Poison Python also opened its huge mouth.
With a clatter.
A huge mass of colorful giant poison rushed towards Li Fei.
Squeak-squeak-
Before those poisonous mists could reach them, a thick white smoke rose in the air.
It was accompanied by a burst of ear-piercing sounds that sounded like corrosion.
Within a radius of several hundred meters, all the grass, trees, earth and rocks, and even the first and second order demonic beasts, were all turned into puddles of horrible pus in an instant.
Some of the nearby demonic beasts were so frightened that they all fled in all directions.
Even on the side of the Ancient Yuan City cultivators.
Even though they were in a large formation, they were still frightened by the scene in front of them.
For a moment, none of them dared to easily offer up their magic weapons.
Buzz!
At the same time, the silver-white flying sword held by Li Fei suddenly manifested a large silver-colored curtain of light.
The entire curtain of light was made up of a terrifying sword qi.
As soon as the black wind and the colorful poisonous mist came into contact with this silver light curtain, it violently stirred up a burst of ear-splitting explosions.
Immediately afterward, there was a giggling sound that resembled corrosion.
The black wind and the colorful poisonous mist were all being rapidly evaporated and worn out.
The two third stage demonic beasts, at this time, did not seem to have the intention of entangling with Li Fei too much.
After each of them sent out their attacks, they found a moment to directly take the lightly injured Earth Savage Bear and flew back towards the direction they came from.
At the same time.
Jiang Rendao and Bai Zixuan were entangled with the Red Spirit Giant Rat and the Blistering Wind Rhinoceros, at this time, they also did not continue to stay, and after each of them sent out an attack on the opponent in front of them, they immediately turned around and left.
Seeing this, whether it was Jiang Rendao, or Bai Zixuan, or Li Fei, there was no intention to chase after them.
They were obviously very clear.
Once he and the others went deeper into the demonic beast territory, then the danger they would face would definitely climb dramatically.
If they were to be entangled by opponents of the same level, or even surrounded, they would fall in an instant.
“Both of you, after this wave of attack, it’s almost time for us to invite everyone to have a good discussion together.”
At this time, Li Fei turned his head to look at the two people beside him and spoke after a little thought.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rendao and Bai Zixuan couldn’t help but both nod their heads.
A few days later.
After the attacking crowd of demonic beasts had retreated, within the council hall of Gu Yuan City.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Jiang Rendao, Hua Mengyue, Li Fei, Bai Mingshan, Bai Yuanchen, and Bai Zixuan, the eight of them, gathered once again.
At that moment, Jiang Rendao, Li Fei, and Bai Zixuan spoke about the situation of the demonic beasts attacking the city that day with the few people present.
At the end, they heard Li Fei speak:
“Based on my observation that day, this time, on the side of the demonic beasts, I’m afraid that the number of third-order demonic beasts they can send out will exceed your and my expectations.
Right now, the main reason why they haven’t sent out all of them yet should be that they haven’t yet mapped out the specific situation within our Gu Yuan City.
The whole thing is still in a stage of trial and error.
When this stage is over, I’m afraid that what you and I will have to face is where the biggest trouble and crisis of this Demonic Beast Rebellion lies.”
Regarding Li Fei’s words, the people present were quite cognizant of them.
Only Bai Mingshan nodded and said, “Fellow Daoist Li Fei’s words are quite reasonable, according to the current situation, I’m afraid that some of the arrangements that we had set before will need to change slightly.”
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Hua Mengyue and the others couldn’t help but be slightly moved in their hearts.
They heard Jiang Rendao say, “Then I wonder, according to what you think, Elder Bai, how should we change our previous arrangements?”
Bai Mingshan raised his hand and clasped his fist at the crowd before he said with a solemn expression:
“The reason why we came here this time, its main purpose is not to kill as many demonic beasts as possible, but rather to hold this Ancient Yuan City as long as possible before the Demonic Beast Rebellion ends.
This point, I think everyone should recognize it, right?”
