"Young warrior, all the villagers are heading towards the Iron City. I think it will take them two or three days to get there." The axman walked over to inform Ye Chen.
Ye Chen jumped down from the wall and asked, "What are the villages within ten miles of Huai Yang Village?"
"And Li Yang Village, Big Mountain Village, Lu Family Village, Big River Village, Willow Village, and Yellow Mountain Town!" The axman said.
Ye Chen said, "The beasts are very fast. I am afraid they will catch up before we reach the Iron City. You tell the villagers to go to the Yellow Mountain Town first. The more people there are, the safer it will be."
In the early stage, the beasts would not be very powerful. Occasionally, there would be rank 5 or 6 beasts that Ye Chen could handle by himself. But most of the villagers were normal people. Even a rank 1 or 2 beast would be able to tear them into pieces. They would need a large group of warriors to protect them. As a town, the Yellow Mountain Town would not lack Condensing Reality Realm warriors. If they were lucky, they might even be able to find a few Clasping Yuan Realm warriors.
"Young warrior, you are right!" The axman was not stupid. He knew that Ye Chen's power was limited, and it would be impossible for him to protect the hundreds of people in the village. In front of thousands of beasts, any random attack would be able to kill all the people in the village.
"Alright, let's go."
After performing four Tornado Broken Clouds in a row, the horrifying tornado had killed almost all of the flying beasts in the sky. Ye Chen grabbed the axman and flew towards the direction where the villagers were heading.
After an hour, they met the villagers of Li Yang Village.
After six hours, the villagers of the Big Mountain Village had gathered.
The number of people had grown from three hundred to more than a thousand. This group of people was heading towards the Yellow Mountain Town, which was ten miles away.
"Xiao Gao, who is this young man? He killed so many beasts by himself?" The chief of Li Yang Village asked the axman.
The axman scratched his head and said proudly, "He is a high-level warrior. As for his name, I did not ask. I didn't ask. Anyway, he's a powerful high-level martial artist. "
"Yeah! If it weren't for him, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to survive. "The Big Mountain Village Chief stared at the corpses of the demonic beasts in the distance and was shocked.
This was already the third wave of beasts that Ye Chen had killed. Each wave had hundreds of beasts, and the most dangerous one was from the front of the group. Obviously, they were beasts that lived near the Yellow Mountain Town. Ye Chen was able to fight against an experienced Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior, and he also had a couple of wide-range attacks from his Sky Cloud Sword Art. Added with the Zhen Qi replenishing pellets, he was barely able to protect the group from harm.
Even so, over a hundred people had died during the thirty-kilometer journey.
"There are more demonic beasts coming from that direction. There are so many of them, at least a thousand." Along the way, some warriors who were passing by volunteered to protect the group. Most of them were Mid Condensing Reality Realm warriors, and there was only one Late Condensing Reality Realm warrior. The one who spoke was a man in his thirties, holding a huge machete in his hand, which was dripping with blood.
Ye Chen said: "I will try my best to kill them, you guys protect the group."
"Alright, you be careful." The man knew that Ye Chen was very powerful, and the beasts in the early stage would not be able to hurt him.
Shoo!
With a shake of his body, Ye Chen split into three Zhen Qi shadows and rushed towards the beast wave side by side.
"Kill!"
Ye Chen's real body created a tornado with his sword and attacked the beast wave, while the three Zhen Qi shadows blocked the other beasts with their bare hands.
After killing hundreds of beasts, Ye Chen could not hold on anymore. He yelled at the group, "Everyone, get ready to fight."
"Don't worry! We are not here for nothing. "
Dozens of Condensing Reality Realm warriors stood in front of the thousands of people. Although there were only a few of them, their aura was not weak at all. Some of the villagers who had reached Mortal Realm Stage 5 and above also walked out. They might not be able to deal with beasts above Rank 2, but they could still kill Rank 1 and Rank 2 beasts.
Roar!
All of the beasts in the sky had been killed by Ye Chen, and all that was left were the low rank beasts that could not fly. These beasts rushed towards the group of people, their roars coming one after another. A lot of the children were so scared that they started to cry. The women were shivering, holding their children tightly.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Under the lead of dozens of Condensing Reality Realm warriors, including the axman, all of the villagers who were powerful rushed up, their eyes bloodshot.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the first attack, an Early Condensing Reality Realm warrior had his chest pierced by a wild boar beast's tusk. He vomited blood and died. Soon after, another ten villagers were trampled to death by the beasts. The axman was quite lucky. The beast that was fighting with him was a rank 2 demonic beast, Mist Cow. It was not very powerful, but it was extremely huge. Therefore, the axman did not have to worry about being trampled by other demonic beasts.
Shoo!
Appearing in the middle of the beast wave, Ye Chen held his Star Scar Sword with both of his hands, waving it in four different directions.
Swoosh!
Four dozens of meters long sword Qi sliced open the ground. Wherever it went, all of the beasts were cut in half, their blood spilling everywhere.
"Tyrant Millennium!"
Just as the sword Qi passed through, Ye Chen threw a punch onto the ground.
Rumble!
The ground collapsed, and a huge pit with a radius of ten meters appeared. The beasts in the front could not control their bodies and fell into the pit. The beasts behind them were too fast, so they could not stop their bodies in time. All of a sudden, at least dozens of beasts were buried in the pit.
Not caring about killing the beasts that fell into the pit one by one, Ye Chen rushed towards the group of people. Some of the beasts were rushing towards them.
"Mom, I am so scared!"
Seeing a huge rat beast rushing towards them, the kid curled up in the woman's arms.
"Don't be scared! Mom is here. "
The woman's face was pale, but she tried to comfort the kid in her arms.
The huge rat beast was a rank 3 beast. Before this, dozens of villagers had already had their heads bitten off by it, dying horribly. Now that it was rushing towards them, no one could stop it.
Right at that moment, a fist landed on the head of the huge rat beast. The powerful fist power blew it away, its body shattering into pieces.
"Tell the others to stay together."
Standing in front of the two, Ye Chen's sword was dripping with blood.
"Thank you so much!" Many of the villagers in this area had died, and the population was sparse. The woman hurried to run towards the crowd with her kid, wiping her tears from time to time. Her man had just died right in front of her eyes.
Killing, killing without tiredness. On this day, Ye Chen had killed two to three thousand beasts, which was more than all the times he had killed before. The killing intent on his body had made some of the low-rank beasts afraid to face him. Their movements were stiff, and even rank 3 and 4 beasts were shivering in fear.
Only fifteen minutes later, the battle was over.
Thousands of beasts had died, and more than two hundred humans had died. It was still because of Ye Chen's fast killing speed. Otherwise, no one would have been able to leave this place alive.
"Let's go! Hurry up! We need to reach the Yellow Mountain Town before nightfall."
Among the group, Ye Chen was undoubtedly the leader. With one order, everyone left the dead bodies of their family members behind and started to run.
That Late Condensing Reality Realm warrior sighed, "The beast wave is too horrifying. So many people have died in such a short time."
Putting his Star Scar Sword back into its scabbard, Ye Chen said with a heavy tone, "Let's not talk about it for now. When the real beast wave breaks out, the number of deaths would be in the tens of thousands. All we can do is try our best to protect the villagers and get into the city. Then, we can rely on the city to fight against the beasts."
"Yeah, with the protection of the city, it will be much safer."
The sun was setting, and the roars of the beasts could be heard everywhere.
From afar, everyone could see the Yellow Mountain Town standing on the ground.
"We have arrived at the Yellow Mountain Town. Let's work harder!" The man stood next to Ye Chen and said with a tired voice.
Ye Chen glanced at the man and the few Condensing Reality Realm warriors who had survived. He was very impressed. Most of the passing warriors thought that the villagers were too slow, so they did not want to stay and protect them. Only these people were willing to help them. But after a few battles, half of them had been devoured by the beasts, and the rest of them were all wounded, some even disabled.
Ye Chen could not help but ask, "Why did you choose to stay and protect them? If you ran by yourself, you could have made it to the town or the city first."
The man asked back, "Then why did you stay? I remember that when we came here, you were the only one protecting the villagers."
"I am a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. Why wouldn't I help if I could?"
"Hehe, although I am not as powerful as you, I have the same idea as you. I believe they are thinking the same." The man took out a piece of cloth from his pocket and wiped his blade.
Soon, they arrived at the Yellow Mountain Town.
"Great! Another Clasping Yuan Realm warrior." When the gate of the town opened, a twenty-one or twenty-two year old young man walked up to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen looked at the broken tall wall and said, "This place has been attacked by the beasts as well?"
The young man nodded, "From this afternoon until now, we have been attacked by five demon beasts in total. The largest one had five to six thousand demon beasts, covering the entire mountain. Many people have already rushed towards the Iron City. I am staying to protect those who have not left."
"I am Ye Chen, and you are?"
"Tian Hao."
"The Yellow Mountain Town will not be able to hold on for long. But it is already late, we have to stay here for another night. Let's fight together!" Being able to see a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior, Ye Chen was very happy as well. During the beast wave, only Condensing Reality Realm warriors and above would be able to kill the beasts in a large area. One more person would mean one more layer of protection.
Tian Hao laughed and said, "I am not the only Clasping Yuan Realm warrior in the Yellow Mountain Town. The other Clasping Yuan Realm warriors are guarding the other three town gates. Including you, there are seven of them in total, and three of them are Mid Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. I think it should not be a problem to guard for one night, since it has only been half a day, the real beast wave has not started yet.
"Yeah, seven people should be enough."
Ye Chen let out a breath in relief. Having seven Clasping Yuan Realm warriors in one town was definitely a blessing in disguise.
The town was not that big, but because a lot of people had left before, the three villages did not feel crowded at all. Of course, there were also people from other villages nearby who had arrived. However, they were not as lucky as the Huai Yang Village and the Li Yang Village. Because there were no Clasping Yuan Realm warriors to protect them, they had lost a lot of people. Less than one hundred people had made it to the Yellow Mountain Town.
Inside all the restaurants.
"Everyone, eat as much as you can. The owner of the restaurant has already escaped to the Iron City. All the food is free."
In all the weapon shops.
"Everyone has a weapon. Don't take more, but don't take less. Tonight, we will be relying on them to kill the beasts."
Facing the beast wave, everyone had to work together. This was something that would never happen in a peaceful time.
On the street.
Looking at the crowd and warriors coming and going, Tian Hao said, "I will take you to meet the other Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. Tonight, we will be partners."
Ye Chen nodded.
It was a pleasant meeting. Everyone was very confident about the addition of a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. They knew very well that a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior could fight against dozens of Condensing Reality Realm warriors. No matter in terms of attacking power or attacking range, it would not be on the same level.
The night had shrouded the land.
The atmosphere in the Yellow Mountain Town had become very serious, including that of Ye Chen and the others.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
A beast roar was heard. It was not far from the Yellow Mountain Town.
No one knew how long it had been, but the rumbling sound could be heard everywhere. With the help of the moonlight, people with weapons could see a huge group of beasts in the distance. The ones running at the front were rank 1 and 2 beasts, followed by rank 3 and rank 4 beasts, and at the back were rank 5 and a few rank 6 beasts. These beasts were not rushing to attack the Yellow Mountain Town. Instead, they were moving forward step by step.
In front of the crowd …
Tian Hao said with relief, "There is only one rank 6 beast here. Judging from the beast qi vibration, it should be equivalent to a peak-level Mid Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. You and I will work together and kill it first."
Ye Chen said, "No need to be so troublesome. You help the others. I will handle the rank 5 beasts and rank 6 beasts."
"You alone?" Tian Hao looked confused.
Ye Chen did not answer with words. He waved his hand and the Star Scar Sword appeared in his hand. He took it out of the scabbard and threw a sword attack in front of him.
Swoosh!
The flat ground cracked open. The beasts at the front all fell down. The sword qi wave exploded in the group of beasts, killing another seven rank 3 and 4 beasts.
"Such a powerful sword Qi!" Tian Hao was shocked. Just like Ye Chen, he was also a peak-level Early Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. Although he did not make it into the top seventy-two in the last Hidden Dragon Rank competitions, he thought that he would definitely be able to make it this time. He thought that Ye Chen would not be as powerful as him, but he did not expect that Ye Chen would be even more powerful than him.
Roar!
Seeing Ye Chen's arrogance, the rank 6 demonic beast roared in anger. As its demonic Qi swept out, it quickly appeared in front of the group of demonic beasts. It opened its mouth and breathed out a huge fire wave, which rushed towards Ye Chen.
"Cut!"
From hundreds of meters away, Ye Chen threw out a sword attack.
The blue sword Qi sliced through the air like a shooting star. It not only cut open the flame wave, but also landed on the rank 6 beast's body. Soon, this rank 6 beast's body was cut in half before it could even show its power. A huge amount of blood splashed onto the ground. "Impressive!
I thought it would be a tough fight, but it seems like I don't have to. "
Tian Hao was shocked at first, then he was overjoyed. With Ye Chen's help, rank 6 beasts were no longer a threat to him. He only needed to kill beasts that were below rank 5.
Before the beast group even got close, all the Clasping Yuan Realm warriors had already started their attacks. The rest of the warriors were ready to fight against the beasts at any second.
"Swirling Winds and Clouds, Overlapping Mountain Ridges, …"
"…" Ye Chen had performed all of his wide-range sword attacks. Sword Qi shot out in all directions, and huge groups of beasts fell onto the ground.
"Night Battle!"
Tian Hao's power was not to be underestimated either. A pitch black long blade appeared in his hand. As he waved the long blade, dozens of blade Qi spread out with him as the center.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
With only the power of the two of them, most of the beasts could not even get close. Once they got within three hundred meters, they would be killed by countless sword Qi and blade Qi. Even the rank 3 and 4 beasts could not survive. Only the rank 5 beasts could break through the sword Qi and blade Qi and escape.
What welcomed them was a fist. The powerful fist had attracted hundreds of meters of Yuan Qi, and then it was thrown out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three to four rank 5 beasts exploded in the air.
"So powerful! We could not do anything."
"At least hundreds of beasts had died in their hands. The beasts behind them had just arrived, but they were all killed immediately. Even the rank 5 beasts were no exception."
"It is dangerous over there. Why don't we go and help them?"
All of the warriors in the back started to discuss.
Ye Chen heard everyone's discussion and said loudly, "You guys send half of your people to other places. We will be enough here."
Tian Hao said, "Brother Ye is right."
Hearing him, half of the one hundred people left, and only about fifty people were left.
There were not many beasts in the first wave. There were only two to three thousand beasts on Ye Chen and Tian Hao's side. After such a short while, half of them had already been killed by the two of them.
"Another rank 6 beast is coming! Is it an Eagle Tiger Beast?" Tian Hao was shocked.
Pap!
Just as Tian Hao finished talking, that Eagle Tiger Beast had been cut into pieces by an extremely fast sword Qi. It was as horrifying as thunder.
Tian Hao was speechless. This was way too horrifying. A rank 6 beast could not even take one sword Qi attack from him. This Eagle Tiger Beast was equivalent to a normal Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior.
Putting a pellet into his mouth, Ye Chen looked very calm. This Eagle Tiger Beast was different from normal rank 6 beasts. If he wanted to kill it with one sword attack, he would have to use his ultimate move, the last movement of the Sky Cloud Sword Art – [Supreme Sky Cloud]. As for the One Sword Attack, he would try not to use it unless necessary, as it would consume a lot of his energy.
As the battle went on, Tian Hao's Zhen Qi was being consumed very quickly. However, he had quite a lot of pellets with him, some of which could instantly replenish twenty to thirty percent of his Zhen Qi. He said, "Brother Ye, if you don't have enough pellets, I have some here. I am from the Alchemist Martial School, and I have a lot of them."
Ye Chen said, "No need, I have a lot of pellets as well."
Besides the calabash of Zhen Qi replenishing pellets, he also had hundreds of normal Zhen Qi replenishing pellets, which he had spent hundreds of thousands of gold to buy. After all, normal Zhen Qi replenishing pellets were more than enough for normal use, there was no need to waste Zhen Qi replenishing pellets.
When all the beasts in this direction had been killed, the battles in the other directions had not finished yet.
Ye Chen said, "I will go help the others first. Are you okay by yourself?"
"Sure, you go ahead. I don't think it's safe over there. Rank 6 beasts are still quite powerful for us. "Tian Hao sat on the ground with his legs crossed and started meditating. Hearing Ye Chen, he nodded.
Swoosh!
Extending his body, Ye Chen soon arrived at the south gate of the Yellow Mountain Town.
Without saying anything, Ye Chen threw out a sword attack and hit the rank 6 beast that was fighting with the Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. This rank 6 beast let out a cry and fell on the ground.
