Uh … Thinking about it carefully, Du Feng had said that the Ximen family had colluded with the demonic cultivators, but he had not mentioned Ximen Zhi and Ximen Ziling by name.
The Ximen family had indeed colluded with the demonic cultivators. Even Ximen Zhi had admitted this. It was just that the atmosphere had been too tense just now, and everyone had pointed the finger at him. Now that he had analyzed it carefully, Du Feng seemed to be right.
"You … you …"
After Ximen Zhi understood, he pointed at Du Feng, not knowing what to say. Just then, the roar of the demon beasts came from outside. That's right, a new wave of Beast Tide had arrived.
"Everyone, get into position! Hold the fort!"
The Deputy City Lord did not pursue the matter of Ximen Zhi. Of course, he would not give him the other half of the payment. He immediately ordered the soldiers to return to their posts to resist the new wave of Beast Tide.
"Don't go, make things clear."
Ximen Zhi wanted Du Feng to stay and clarify whether he had colluded with the demonic cultivators or not.
"I'm not free!"
Du Feng said this and left. He wanted to control his newly repaired Apocalyptic Cannon and blast the demon beasts below the city. Based on the current density, there was no way to go down and fight.
"Brother Ximen, please."
The Deputy City Lord made an inviting gesture, meaning for Ximen Zhi to obediently return to the City Lord Residence and wait. After all, he still had some old connections, so he could not really send him to his death.
"Hmph!"
Ximen Ziling looked at Du Feng's departing figure and snorted coldly before following her father into the City Lord Residence. At the last moment, she turned to look at her sister, Ximen Baibai.
Ximen Baibai did not speak, but looked at her and shook his head. His meaning was obvious. He would not go in with them and would stay outside to fight.
"You don't know what's good for you. You'll have to bear the consequences."
After saying this, Ximen Ziling stepped into the City Lord Residence, no longer looking at her sister. In fact, this time, everyone knew very well that it would not be easy to resist the Beast Tide. Even if they could resist it, it was likely that both sides would be injured.
In Ximen Ziling's eyes, this farewell with her sister was probably forever. She couldn't bear it, but when she thought of Du Feng, she hardened her heart. Don't you like that pretty boy? Go and die with him.
"Boom boom boom …"
At this time, all the beasts that came were large demonic beasts. The Three-Horned Rhinoceros was nothing compared to the Giant Trunk Elephant, which was even bigger. Everyone knows that elephants have long noses, but they are usually thin and have long tusks. But the Giant Trunk Elephant was different. Its trunk was longer than its body, and it was especially thick, three times thicker than an ordinary elephant's trunk.
However, this large-nosed elephant had a special characteristic. It didn't have long tusks. Instead, it had a mouth full of sawtooth teeth, similar to the teeth of a shark.
Ordinary elephants were vegetarians, no matter how big they were. They usually ate some leaves, branches, hay, and the like. But large-nosed elephants were different. They liked to eat meat. It was for the sake of tearing flesh and bones that they had grown such jagged teeth. Although the long fangs looked ferocious, they were actually very easy to break, and it was not convenient to bite.
The sawtooth teeth were different. Not only would they not break, but they were also especially sharp. Once they bit down on their prey, there was no way for them to escape. They used their long and thick trunk to wrap around the prey, then sent it into their mouth to tear it apart. That was really satisfying.
Uh … seeing the appearance of the Giant Trunk Elephant, even Du Feng felt a headache coming on. This was because this demonic beast was simply too big. Even a Grade 2 Heaven Opening Cannon could only kill one, and it had to hit the head. If it hit the body, although a large hole would appear, it wouldn't immediately die.
As for the crossbows in the hands of the city guards and the city-guarding crossbows on the city walls, they were completely useless against the Giant Trunk Elephant. Ordinary crossbow bolts would be blocked by its thick skin. The city-guarding crossbows were slightly more powerful, but they would be swept away by the elephant's long trunk. Even if they occasionally hit the body, it would be no different from a nail stabbing into the flesh, and it wouldn't cause much damage.
"Pay attention to your aim. Concentrate your firepower on the Giant Trunk Elephant."
Under such circumstances, the guard commander had no choice but to order all the people operating the Grade 2 Heaven Opening Cannon to concentrate their firepower on the Giant Trunk Elephant. The Giant Trunk Elephant was the largest, much taller than the Three-Horned Rhinoceros, so it was easier to aim. But in this way, the Three-Horned Rhinoceros quickly rushed to the bottom of the city wall.
At this moment, the Golden Immortal Realm martial artists were basically useless. The power of their attacks couldn't break through the Three-Horned Rhinoceros' defense. Occasionally, they would scratch the skin or something, but it wouldn't be of much use. Therefore, the Perfected Golden Immortal Realm martial artists invited from inside and outside the city became the main force of the battle.
The patriarchs of the various families, as well as the Perfected Golden Immortal Realm martial artists invited from outside, all displayed their strongest Immortal Arts and Divine Abilities.
Du Feng wasn't idle either. He sent out his Blood Breaking Flying Swords to kill the Three-Horned Rhinoceros. His Blood Breaking Flying Swords didn't need anyone to direct them, and it didn't delay the firing of the cannons. Moreover, killing demonic beasts with the Heaven Opening Cannon didn't count their karma, so the Blood Breaking Flying Swords couldn't be idle.
"Listen to how dense the sound of the cannons outside is. When the sound of the cannons dies down, the victor should be decided."
Ximen Zhi was a little afraid at first, but after staying in the City Lord's Mansion for a while, he wasn't afraid of anything. This was because the guard commander, Du Feng, and the patriarchs of the various families were fighting outside. The dense sound of the cannons meant that the demonic beasts' attack was very fierce.
When the demonic beasts attacked the city and broke through the city walls, their deaths would come. At that time, he could take the teleportation array and directly leave the Rejecting Demon City. Before the city walls were broken, the teleportation array was not allowed to be used.
"Hmph, that Du Feng really deserves to die. My sister is blind."
Ximen Ziling's anger hadn't subsided yet. It was unknown whether it was because she was angry at Du Feng or because she was jealous of her sister.
"Don't mention that unfilial daughter, just treat it as if she died a long time ago."
Ximen Zhi's heart was also ruthless enough. Ximen Baibai went to the Southern Heaven Realm to pick up the goods for his matter, and then worked hard to transport them back. Now that the goods had arrived, he didn't want to acknowledge this daughter anymore. He had already thought it through. Even if he didn't get the other half of the payment, it didn't matter. In any case, he still made a profit.
The purchase price of that batch of second-hand goods was relatively low, but the profit was not ordinary. Even if half of the profit was taken away, there would still be a profit. This was the power of an unscrupulous businessman.
"Eh, the sound of the cannons seems to have quieted down."
Ximen Ziling was right. The sound of the cannons was indeed not as dense as before. It wasn't because the demonic beasts had all been killed, but because of the continuous bombardment just now, some of the Heaven Opening Cannons had overheated and needed to cool down. There were also a few that had malfunctioned due to frequent use.
