It was a bit of a pity. After all, it was a ghost talisman that was suitable for defensive equipment. The bonus for weapons was not that obvious. Moreover, the sword was engraved with four ghost talismans, one less than the Red Wraith Armor. Its quality was raised from King mid-grade to supreme-grade, and its effect was comparable to an Emperor weapon. It was already very powerful, but it did not achieve the effect that Du Feng had hoped for. Perhaps because of the different nature, the frightening ghost head pattern did not appear on the sword.
This was good, because with Du Feng's current Cultivation, he could control King weapons more smoothly. If he really had an Emperor sword, it would probably be difficult for him to use his combat skills. This was the advantage of supreme-grade weapons. The requirement to use it was King grade, but the effect was Emperor grade.
Huh? When Du Feng infused his Yin essence energy into the sword, a dragon pattern appeared along the spine of the sword. The sword was red with a black dragon pattern. After this black dragon pattern appeared, the sword naturally let out a series of dragon roars, and its grade actually rose to Emperor mid-grade.
It was actually a hidden grade, how interesting. Originally, Du Feng had already accepted that the new sword was a supreme-grade King grade, but he did not expect to receive a surprise. A Emperor mid-grade sword with a black dragon on the spine, why not call it the Black Dragon Sword. It could be controlled by a supreme-grade King grade, and a hidden grade of Emperor mid-grade. Du Feng could use his full strength without any hindrance. With the Red Dragon Armor and the Black Dragon Sword, his equipment had reached such a high grade for the first time. It could be said that his trip to the Demon's Den was not in vain.
When everything was ready, it was already the middle of the afternoon. Du Feng estimated that the beast tide would arrive tonight or tomorrow morning. If he dared to go to the border now, he should still be able to make it. After he put away the things, he strolled towards the city gate, planning to go to the border defense line from there.
"Captain Du, congratulations on your new appointment."
He had just arrived at the city gate, and before he could go out, he met a very unhappy person. This person was the city defense captain, Di Ming. The deployment of the city wall was being carried out, so it was normal for him to guard here.
"Same to you, I still have things to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Du Feng didn't have time to talk to him. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he was about to leave. Now that he had an official position and Stoneplain City was in a crisis, Di Ming wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
"Captain Du is in an important position. Where is he going instead of staying in the city to protect the people?"
Di Ming's words were sharp, directly pinning a big hat onto Du Feng's head. He seemed to be saying that he was too selfish. At such a critical moment, he didn't stay in the city to contribute, but instead went out to deal with his own private affairs.
"Chief Commander Di lives like a prince in the city. Does anyone protect the martial artists outside the city?"
Du Feng's rhetorical question stumped him. In order to deal with emergencies, temporary identity cards were no longer issued. In other words, those wandering warriors could either find a way to escape or wait for death here. There was no chance for him to use the teleportation array in the city.
Even if they ran, where could they run to? The speed of the Beast Tide was astonishing. With their Cultivation Team, they would probably be caught up before they could run far. If they hid under the city wall, they might be able to survive for a while. If they ran randomly, it would be easier for them to become the target of the Beast Tide.
"I have to go to the border to help. I can't talk anymore."
Without waiting for Di Ming to react, Du Feng threw out a sentence and left. If the border defense line was defended, it meant that the lives of the wandering warriors outside the city were saved. The border guards could also reduce the number of casualties. It could be said that what Du Feng did was more meaningful than what Di Ming did.
Even the city guards who were on duty with Di Ming secretly praised Du Feng in their hearts after listening to his words. This was the captain who really cared about the ordinary martial artists. Although he was a new official, he was very responsible. As the city guards, they all knew very well that if this city wall collapsed, Di Ming would definitely retreat to the inner city.
The inner city was smaller, and the city wall was thicker. More importantly, there was a moat outside the city. As long as the suspension bridge was closed, it would be difficult for the Beast Tide on the land to attack. Only the ferocious beasts flying in the sky would be able to deal with the Beast Tide.
As for the residents of the outer city and the ordinary city guards, they definitely didn't have such treatment. If the Stony Plain City was really breached, only the officials above the deputy chief captain and the people of the inner city's great clans could survive.
"Hehe, since you are courting death, I won't stop you."
Di Ming smiled sinisterly when he saw Du Feng's departing figure. He was very clear about the danger level of the border defense line. Even Void Sea Realm martial artists would make mistakes. Millions of Beast Tide were rushing over, and it wasn't something that could be solved with a high level of Cultivation. The Stony Plain City borrowed ten True Essence Cannons and set up hundreds of city defense crossbows. The lethality of these things against the Beast Tide was far beyond that of Void Sea Realm martial artists.
The city defense crossbows were good stuff. If there were no True Essence Cannons, they would be considered a great killing weapon. Du Feng glanced at the city defense crossbows and got some inspiration. Once he left the Stony Plain City, it wouldn't be a no-fly zone anymore. He executed the Soaring Technique and rushed to the west side of the border defense line.
"Brother Du, why are you here?"
Du Feng didn't inform Xiao Chengjiang in advance. Xiao Chengjiang was surprised by his sudden visit.
"Hello, Captain Du!"
"Hello, Captain Du!"
Xiao Chengjiang was in a daze and didn't notice Du Feng's official token. However, the other city guards immediately saw the waist token. When a subordinate saw a superior officer, he naturally had to greet him passionately.
"Ah, when did you become a captain?"
Xiao Chengjiang was confused. It was a known fact that it wasn't easy to become the captain of the Stony Plain City's city defense. One had to at least be at the Origin Realm Cultivation. Furthermore, most of the captains were at the peak of the Origin Realm ninth level Cultivation.
"I just got promoted. Let's not talk about this first. Where is the beast wave?"
There were scouts at the front line who used hummingbirds and falcons to observe the situation and report back. The beast wave seemed to be advancing faster and faster. It was estimated that they would arrive tonight.
When Du Feng heard this, he knew that he came at the right time. If he came any later, none of the people here would be able to survive. Without any hesitation, he took out the materials and started to assemble the crossbow. Inspired by the city defense crossbow, the crossbow he assembled this time was especially big. It required two city guards to use their legs to pull the crossbow apart.
Although the speed was much slower, the firepower was ten folds stronger. It was especially effective in killing some large demonic beasts.
A large number of spirits were sent out by Du Feng to scout the situation while he was busy assembling the crossbow. When he was assembling the tenth crossbow, he could already feel the tremors on the ground. As the sun set, the long border defense line was bathed in the afterglow of Canyang.
