The sound of the strings became more and more urgent. Blood dripped onto the guqin and dyed the seven colors red. Yang Qingxuan was already at his limit. He was sweating like rain and his face was pale.
Everyone was aghast. He actually withstood the attack of the entire beast tide by himself. Although it wasn't long, it was already shocking.
"Kill! Since we're going to die, dying outside the city is better than dying after the city is breached! "
A person's face was gloomy. After a strange cry, he flew up and pounced into the beast tide like a bat.
Yang Qingxuan's guqin suddenly changed. It became like a raging wind and rain. The entire city gate was filled with the sound of killing.
Everyone's blood surged under the sound of killing. Their aura was like a mountain. They all roared and charged forward.
Jian Mu was resting under the city gate. His body was covered in blood. After hearing the sound of battle, his body trembled. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at Yang Qingxuan in shock. He thought, "If it wasn't for this kid, I'm afraid I would be covered in sand. I most likely wouldn't be able to hold the ninth gate. A mere early stage Sea Realm Realm cultivator actually has such combat strength. I really don't know which sect this kid is from. "After pondering for a while, he closed his eyes again and continued to recuperate.
After Yang Qingxuan changed the direction of her zither music, the pressure on her was immediately reduced. However, a sound realm of about fifteen meters was formed around her body. Any wild beasts that charged at her were all shattered by the sound realm.
The situation temporarily stabilized, but the casualties were still increasing at a terrifying speed. The entire battlefield was like a meat grinder, constantly mincing the fresh lives into pieces.
Yang Qingxuan's head was covered in cold sweat. He was a little anxious and transmitted a message, "Lord Jian Mu, is there any other way? If this continues, I'm afraid that even if everyone goes in, we won't be able to hold the ninth gate. "
Jian Mu slightly opened his eyes and said calmly, "How do you think we defended the city these days? We sacrificed one life after another to resist the beast tide with our flesh and blood. "
Yang Qingxuan's heart trembled. His face was pale and his eyes were filled with malice. He said coldly, "Then what's the point of defending the city like this? It's clearly a huge consumption machine, constantly consuming lives and resources. Why don't we just open the city gates and let everyone escape? "
Jian Mu stared at him coldly and said, "You think you can escape just by opening the city gates? Our only hope now is to quickly open up the plane and let the powerhouses from the outside in. "
Yang Qingxuan remained silent. He knew that Jian Mu was right. The sea of beasts stretched as far as the eye could see. Even with his strength, he might not be able to fly out of it. Even an empyrean expert might not be able to escape.
"These desolate beasts are clearly being controlled by some kind of power. City Lord, have you not thought of finding that power and resolving the problem at its root?"
"This beast tide is like an ocean. We can't even fly out of it. How are we going to find the mastermind? Furthermore … "
Jian Mu wanted to say something but hesitated. He thought for a moment before saying, "Moreover, these desolate beasts don't seem to be in a hurry to break through the city. Otherwise, they wouldn't attack once a day. If they kept attacking the defensive line without stopping, they would have broken through the city long ago."
Yang Qingxuan's heart shook. He said in shock, "My Lord, you mean that these desolate beasts are deliberately wasting time with us?"
Jian Mu said, "It's just a feeling. I don't have conclusive evidence. Furthermore, what the desolate beasts' goal is, and what they intend to do, it's not important anymore. What's important is to hold the city defenses, then wait for the plane to open up and powerhouses to come to help. "
Yang Qingxuan nodded. In such a tragic environment, preserving one's life was the most important. The rest could only be considered when they had the strength to spare.
After playing the song "Ambush on All Sides", Yang Qingxuan took out some medicinal pills and swallowed them. His body was like sweet dew after the rain, immediately recovering quite a bit. He raised his bloody finger and started playing "Kill Break Wolf".
The clanging sound of killing transformed into wisps of battle aura, merging into every martial artist's body, making their blood boil and killing intent surge.
Amidst the rolling yellow sand, the aura of the moon spread, and the cold light illuminated the iron clothes.
The entire thousand-mile battle line of the city defense was filled with blood-like killing intent, and yellow sand filled the sky. There was no sunset in Void Sky City. Under the direct rays of the sun, everything appeared pale and dazzling.
Above the yellow sand purgatory, high up in the sky at an unknown distance, there was a man sitting cross-legged with his hands forming seals. He was expressionless.
The man's face was handsome, and his long hair was draped behind him. He was actually a rare handsome man. However, there were runes flickering on his well-defined face, emitting traces of evil aura. If one looked carefully, there was a strange feeling between his thick eyebrows and high nose. He did not seem to be human.
Around the man's body, wisps of yellow aura were faintly discernible. They were constantly being absorbed into his body. Every time he absorbed a wisp of aura, from his forehead to his face, neck, and even his entire body, strange runes would appear and disappear in a flash.
"The Desolate Heaven Art of Void. I was wondering why there would be a desolate beast horde. So it's because you are using the desolate aura and killing intent to cultivate this divine ability."
In the void in front of him, the pleasant voice of a woman could be heard. As the voice faded, the void flashed, and an enchanting woman appeared. Her skin was whiter than snow, and her facial features were so exquisite that she did not seem like a mortal. Her dark green eyes flickered with an evil aura.
Her snow-white bare feet were painted with green totems. She looked extremely wild, and her entire body emitted an evil aura that made one's blood boil.
The man suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his eyes were filled with horror. It was as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, and his body began to tremble. "You … You are …"
Under his chaotic aura, the surrounding desolate aura was like a wrinkled pool of water, or like the wrinkles on an old man's face, becoming clear and crystalline.
The woman's face was filled with surprise. She raised her eyebrows and said, "You recognize me?"
"Gulp." The man swallowed with great difficulty, and stood up from his meditative state. He had lost his unchanging calmness, and retreated dozens of feet, full of vigilance.
"Haha." The woman giggled, and her dark green eyes stared at the man. She said leisurely, "Since you recognize me, then we should be from the same era. Furthermore, you have the Desolate Heaven Art of Emptiness, and you are proficient in the desolation technique. You must be from the royal family of the desolates. Strange, why haven't I seen you before?"
The man's expression was abnormally ugly, and cold sweat dripped from his temples. He said with great difficulty, "It really is you, the Mother of All Bugs, Kunna!"
"Oh, oh, oh, you really do recognize me. You can even call out my name." Kunna's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she said sarcastically, "Do you want to tell me your name, or do you want me to extract your soul and see for myself?"
The man's face was filled with fear, and he retreated dozens of feet. Kunna's lips curled into a cold smile, as if she was looking at a clown. She did not take it to heart.
The man was silent for a while, and seemed to realize that his vigilance was useless, and instead made him look ridiculous. He said honestly, "I am Xuancheng's younger brother, Xuanxiu."
I just came back from the Yuewen Salon yesterday, and I'm too tired. This morning, I took a look at the chapters I wrote over the past few days, and I realized that they were too light. Because I was in a rush to write them every day, I couldn't calm down. These few days, I've been dealing with some matters at hand. Starting from the eighth, I'll update four chapters a day.
