"What's going on? Why are so many cities being attacked by demonic beasts all of a sudden?" The City Lord of Hundred Flowers City asked.
"I don't know either. Normally, these beasts would come down from the mountains, but they're scattered. They've never come together like this. This time, they're very organized. They're not attacking randomly." One of the cultivators said.
Another cultivator added, "Yes, according to the distress signal I just received, these Monster Beasts are targeting specific targets. For places that are not strong, they are led by some Rank 7 or 8 Monster Beasts, while for places that are strong, they are led by Monster King Realm cultivators."
The Centaurea City Lord's expression changed, "How can these beasts be so intelligent? This is no ordinary Beast Tide! I need to notify the Jiuhua Alliance. "
"Report!" Another figure rushed over and quickly landed in front of the City Lord of Hundred Flowers City. He said, "City Lord, I've just received the latest news. Not only have the cities near our Hundred Flowers City been attacked, but the third-rank sects' territories in the Peony Palace's territory have also been attacked. The scale of the beast tide this time is unprecedentedly large!"
After this cultivator, more and more cultivators came to report to the Centaurea City Lord. Each piece of news was more frightening than the last. Even Lu Xuan, who was listening from the side, began to look grim.
"My Lord, is this Beast Tide troublesome?" Lu Xuan asked.
The Lord of Hundred Flowers City was extremely anxious at this moment. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said, "It's not just trouble, it's big trouble. Hundred Flowers City is the closest city to the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range. There are countless demonic beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range. If the beast tide comes from the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range, I'm afraid even Hundred Flowers City and the Peony Palace will be in danger, let alone the nearby cities."
Lu Xuan's expression changed slightly. He had come from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and he had heard countless powerful beast roars along the way. There were countless demonic beasts at the Demon King Realm, and there were even many at the Demon Emperor Realm.
If all of them attacked Centaurea City, then as the Centaurea City Lord said, even the Peony Palace would be in danger.
"Lu Xuan, I can't continue this battle with you. I need to quickly deal with the matters at hand." The Lord of Hundred Flowers called out. He had to hurry back to the City Lord's Manor and ask for help from the Jiuhua Alliance and the other fourth-rank sects. He couldn't afford to be careless, or it would be too late for regret.
"City Lord, if there's anything you need Lu Xuan's help with, just let me know," Lu Xuan said sincerely.
The Hundred Flowers City Lord was overjoyed. "It would be great if you could help."
As soon as she finished speaking, she passed a command token to Lu Xuan and said, "This is my command token. Take it, and everyone will have to obey your orders. Please do your best to save the residents of Hundred Flowers City from their dire straits."
Lu Xuan did not decline. He took the city lord's token and said, "I will do my best. Don't worry, City Lord."
Then, Lu Xuan turned to Tian Xin and said, "Tian Xin, let's go. Head to the nearest town and repel the Beast Tide. "
"Alright." Tian Xin agreed without hesitation.
Lu Xuan turned to Qin Yueyi and said, "Yueyi, come with us. You can use this opportunity to train your combat skills."
"Yes, Master." Qin Yueyi quickly agreed.
Lu Xuan waved his hand and tossed out the Wind Spirit Boat. Tian Xin boarded without a word. Qin Yueyi paused for a moment, then followed suit. This was the first time she had been so close to a flying artifact.
As she watched Lu Xuan fly away on the Wind Spirit Boat, the Hundred Flowers City Lord let out a sigh of relief. "I didn't think Lu Xuan would have a flying artifact. This will speed up the rescue. Maybe we can save more people."
At that moment, Ruo Xiangyi hurried over. When she saw the Hundred Flowers City Lord, she asked, "City Lord, where is Lu Xuan? He's a man in white. "
The Hundred Flowers City Lord raised his head and said, "Lu Xuan has gone to rescue the towns besieged by the Beast Tide. Your Peony Palace should also send reinforcements. This time, the Beast Tide is very big. Don't be careless."
Ruo Xiangyi nodded, "I understand. I just received the news. I was about to call Lu Xuan to come with me. Since he's already gone, it couldn't be better. City Lord, I'll go first."
"Let's go back to the City Lord's Mansion." The Hundred Flowers City Lord said. Then, he quickly flew back to the City Lord's Mansion. As the City Lord, he had to be in charge of the defense.
Lu Xuan controlled the Gentle Wind Spirit Boat to fly low. This way, they could better see the situation below. The three of them didn't enter the cabin of the Gentle Wind Spirit Boat. Instead, they stood at the bow and looked down at the situation below.
Seeing the countless Demon Beasts below, Qin Yueyi couldn't help but be startled. When she heard about the Beast Tide, she didn't think much about it. But now that she saw it with her own eyes, she understood how terrifying it was. With so many Demon Beasts gathered together, if there weren't any reinforcements, she was afraid that the nearby towns would soon be trampled. Countless cultivators and civilians would die. This could be called a disaster.
"Master, why don't we go down and kill these Demon Beasts?" Qin Yueyi couldn't help but ask. She was now completely aware of Lu Xuan's strength. As long as Lu Xuan took action, he would certainly be able to kill all the Demon Beasts below.
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "We have limited manpower and even more limited time. We can't waste time on these ordinary Demon Beasts. These Demon Beasts will naturally be resisted by other cultivators. We need to kill Demon Beasts above the Demon King Realm. The destructive power and lethality they can cause is the greatest."
Qin Yueyi nodded in realization. Master was indeed thoughtful. The greater the strength one had, the greater the responsibility one had to bear.
At this time, Lu Xuan suddenly turned his head to the other side. He sensed the aura of a Demon King Realm Demon Beast.
As expected, he saw a Demon King Realm Giant Tiger leading a group of ordinary Demon Beasts. Without saying anything, Lu Xuan instantly rushed out from the Wind Spirit Boat.
Sensing the enemy's attack, the Giant Tiger turned its head to look and immediately let out a roar. However, Lu Xuan turned a deaf ear to it. He swung the Meng Chen Sword and an extremely fierce Sword Qi instantly chopped off the Giant Tiger's head. He didn't waste any time at all. Then, he stretched out his hand and forcibly sucked the Demon Core out of the corpse.
Seeing that their leader had been killed, the group of Demon Beasts, whose strength ranged from the Fourth to the Tenth Order, didn't run away. Instead, they fiercely rushed towards Lu Xuan, wanting to gang up on him.
Lu Xuan let out a cold snort and casually swung his sword twice, instantly killing dozens of Demon Beasts. However, he didn't continue to stay and flew back to the Wind Spirit Boat.
From the time Lu Xuan killed the Giant Tiger, collected the Demon Core, to the time he returned to the Wind Spirit Boat, not even three breaths had passed. Qin Yueyi's eyes were filled with splendor. A powerful Demon King Realm Demon Beast was actually killed by her Master so easily without any resistance.
It would be great if she could reach the level of her Master. The Luo Clan's Clan Head was only at the peak stage of the Spirit Refinement Realm and hadn't even reached the Origin Realm. By then, wouldn't killing him be as easy as killing a chicken?
"This Beast Tide is really not simple." Lu Xuan returned to the Wind Spirit Boat and said in a deep voice, "Normally, when a Demon Beast Leader dies, they would definitely flee in all directions. But this time, not only did these Demon Beasts not flee, they even took the initiative to attack me."
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Brother Tian, do you remember when we met Peng Xin and the others outside the city? That time, I killed a few Green Wood Wolves in a row. Not only did the rest not flee, they also fearlessly attacked me. From the looks of it now, I'm afraid there were signs of a Beast Tide at that time. "
Tian Xin's expression changed slightly, "I remember there was a wolf's howl before those Green Wood Wolves retreated. Could there be some hidden reason behind this?"
Lu Xuan shook his head, "I'm not sure yet. The most important thing now is to rescue the people. These Demon Beasts are so crazy. Those cities that couldn't defend against the Beast Tide will probably be massacred."
As they spoke, Lu Xuan and the others had already arrived at the nearest city to Hundred Flowers City, West Hancheng.
This West Hancheng was a second-class city under the jurisdiction of Hundred Flowers City. It wasn't small either. Right now, the battle outside West Hancheng was extremely intense. In order to protect their homes, countless martial artists had spontaneously rushed out of the city to fight against the Demon Beasts. They wouldn't let the Demon Beasts take a single step into West Hancheng.
"Look! Flying Spirit Boat! "
"It must be the reinforcements from Hundred Flowers City! Everyone hold on! We're saved! "
Seeing the appearance of the Gentle Wind Spirit Boat, countless martial artists who were fighting cried out in surprise. Facing such a large number of Demon Beasts, it was extremely difficult for them to defend. It hadn't even been an hour since the Beast Tide appeared, but hundreds of martial artists and countless civilians had already died.
"Senior, please help my West Hancheng to repel the enemy!" A martial artist dressed like a City Lord quickly rushed to the top of the city wall and shouted at the Gentle Wind Spirit Boat.
"I'm Profound Ice Pavilion's direct disciple, Lu Xuan. I'm here on behalf of Hundred Flowers City's City Lord to help. Everyone, don't panic." Lu Xuan replied.
However, when they heard this, the excited martial artists' faces immediately stiffened. What kind of joke was this? There was only one disciple? What was the use of that?
Lu Xuan naturally didn't know what these people were thinking. He turned to Tian Xin and said, "Tian Xin, follow me to repel the Beast Tide. Yue Yi, you wait here for the time being."
Immediately, Lu Xuan and Tian Xin rushed out. They had already noticed a few powerful Demonic Kings ravaging the city. A few Origin Realm martial artists tried their best to resist, but they were still retreating. Because Demon Beasts had strong bodies, under normal circumstances, a human martial artist wouldn't be a match for a Demon Beast at the same level.
Lu Xuan's target was a tier-4 Demonic King, Dragon Fang Giant Bear. This kind of Demon Beast was born with extremely strong defense. If it was a low-tiered one, it would be fine. But once it reached the Demonic King Realm, its destructive power would be astonishing and it would be extremely difficult to deal with.
Seeing Lu Xuan recklessly rushing towards the Dragon Fang Giant Bear, the West Hancheng City Lord quickly said, "Don't be rash. That is a tier-4 Demon Beast. Come back quickly."
Although he was extremely disappointed with Lu Xuan and Tian Xin's identities, they were here to help after all. He couldn't just let them die for nothing. Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan turned a deaf ear to the West Hancheng City Lord's warning and continued rushing over.
