The one guarding the south gate was a Mid Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. Before Ye Chen arrived, he was the most powerful warrior in the Yellow Mountain Town. However, his opponent was a rank 6 beast, the Four Legged Flamingo, which was as powerful as a Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. Even after using all of his ace attacks, he still could not do anything to it. Instead, his arm had been scratched.
Seeing Ye Chen kill the Four Legged Flamingo with only one sword attack, he opened his eyes wide in shock.
"I will leave the rest of the beasts to you. I will go check out the other two sides." Flashing his body, Ye Chen flew across the sky of the Yellow Mountain Town and arrived at the east gate.
The situation here was not good. There were two rank 6 beasts, and there were only two Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. One was a Mid Clasping Yuan Realm warrior, and the other was an Early Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. The Early Clasping Yuan Realm warrior was about to be killed by the claw of the rank 6 beast.
Performing his Separating Shadow Flying Art, Ye Chen's body became blurry. When he reappeared, he was already in between the beast and the human, throwing out a thunderous sword attack.
Pap!
The lightning-like blue sword light broke through the beast's protective beast qi and landed heavily on its chest. Then, the sword light shone brightly, exploding violently.
Blood splashed everywhere. This aggressive rank 6 beast had been blown away by the sword light. There was a huge sword hole in its chest, which was quite chilling.
"You go and heal yourself first!"
Ye Chen said to the middle-aged man, who was quite badly wounded.
"Alright, thank you."
The middle-aged man was just as shocked as the first one. However, it was obviously not the time for him to be shocked. He obediently stepped back, swallowed a pellet, and sat on the ground with his legs crossed to heal himself. He was trying to recover most of his fighting power before the next wave of beasts appeared.
"Oh! Little bro, you are quite powerful! " The one who was fighting with the rank 6 beast was a beautiful lady in her thirties. She was holding a crescent blade in her hand, and seemed to be on par with the beast. From time to time, she would use her ace attacks to leave bloody marks on the beast's body.
Ye Chen said, "The next wave of beasts could come at any time. You don't mind if I help you, right?" Clasping Yuan Realm warriors were very confident in their own power. If they went up there recklessly, they might annoy the lady, since she had already suppressed the rank 6 beast.
"Sure! I couldn't ask for more. "The beautiful woman smiled sweetly and didn't mind.
Bang!
The ground exploded as Ye Chen violently dashed towards the beautiful woman's opponent, the Level 6 Two-Headed Wolf King.
Howl!
One of the Two-Headed Wolf King's heads spat out a ring of light at Ye Chen. The power of the light wave was unparalleled. Wherever it went, the ground would explode layer by layer, and the sky would be filled with rubble.
"Break!"
On the way, Ye Chen slashed horizontally with his sword.
The light wave split in the middle, and the thick blue Sword Qi instantly hit the Double-headed Wolf King's Body-protecting Demonic Qi.
"Eh! This two-headed wolf king is not simple. "
The blue sword Qi had been blocked by the protective beast Qi, and could not break through. At this moment, Ye Chen finally realized how powerful that beautiful lady was. She seemed to be even more powerful than those Mid Clasping Yuan Realm warriors outside the south gate. Before, she had suppressed the Double Headed Wolf King all by herself.
The beautiful lady reminded Ye Chen, "This is not a normal Double-headed Wolf King, it is a mutated one. Its beast Qi is very dense, and even my Arc Light Blade could not break through its protective beast Qi. You will have to use your ace attack. Eh! It's broken! "
In the beautiful lady's eyes, the blue sword Qi did not disappear just like that. Instead, it turned into layers of sword Qi that continuously landed on the Double-headed Wolf King's protective Zhen Qi. Within two blinks of an eye, one of the Double-headed Wolf King's heads had been cut off by the sword Qi. Blood spurted out for dozens of meters.
"Arc Light Cut!"
As soon as the Double-headed Wolf King's protective Zhen Qi was broken, the beautiful lady reacted quickly and threw out three blade attacks in a row, killing the Double-headed Wolf King for good.
"Interesting. Are you interested in joining our Moon Pavilion? Don't worry, we are not a martial institution, we are just an organization. You don't have to leave your martial institution if you join us." The beautiful lady would not be stupid enough to ask Ye Chen to leave his martial institution. With his age, Ye Chen must be the most talented one in the martial institution.
Ye Chen said, "Not yet."
"Hehe, you will be interested in it in the future."
The beautiful lady laughed. The expression on her face was obviously one of excitement.
After that, Ye Chen went to the north gate of the Yellow Mountain Town to help. In fact, he did not need to go there, since there was not even a single rank 6 beast there.
After the first wave of beasts had been killed, no one dared to sleep. They sat outside the town to rest and chat, drinking wine. As for cleaning up the dead bodies, they could not do it even if they wanted to. Under the beast wave, there would be no whole bodies left. All they could see was the ground covered with minced meat and blood.
In the middle of the night …
The second wave of beasts had arrived.
The attack this time was even more intense than the previous wave. There were dozens of rank 6 beasts, and there were three to four of them in almost every direction. There were hundreds of rank 5 beasts, and the number of low rank beasts was even more horrifying. There were tens of thousands of them, and they were everywhere.
After two hours, the second wave of beasts had finally been killed.
The number of warriors in the Yellow Mountain Town had been reduced from the original seven hundred to three hundred. More than half of them had died under the claws of the beasts. The normal people in the town were not spared either. Half of the thousands of people had died, and the survivors were either hiding in the cellars or being saved by Ye Chen and the others.
Besides that, there were finally some Clasping Yuan Realm warriors who had been killed. An Early Clasping Yuan Realm warrior had been killed, and three others had been wounded. One of them had lost an arm.
"One more wave, and we will not be able to hold on anymore." Tian Hao was covered in blood as he said sadly.
Ye Chen's clothes were torn, but he was not wounded. He said, "The sun is coming out soon. Let's not waste any more time. Let's get everyone to the Iron City."
"That's the only way."
After a quarter of an hour.
More than a thousand people left the broken Yellow Mountain Town, walking towards the sun in the east. All of their faces were pale. Obviously, the beast attack last night had made them very tired and desperate. The good thing was that there was still hope in their eyes.
Behind the crowd …
Tian Hao had changed into a clean set of clothes, and said with a bitter smile, "I have killed more beasts tonight than I have in the past few years. How could there be so many beasts?"
The beautiful lady said, "The beasts are very territorial, but there are at least hundreds of thousands of beasts in a thousand miles radius mountain range. We had only been attacked in a small area."
"You are right. We can only hope that there will not be any rank 7 beasts in the beast wave."
Ye Chen looked very serious. If it were top rank 6 beasts like the Wind Wolf, they would still be able to fight them with the number of people. But once there were rank 7 beasts, the human wave attack would basically be useless. Relying on the city would be useless as well. Only Astral Reaching Realm warriors of the same level would be able to make it.
Tian Hao looked into the distance, "There are still two hundred miles to the Iron City. We have to speed up."
At the same time, in different directions.
Countless people were gathering towards the area where the Iron City was located.
Iron City …
Inside the mayor's mansion …
"Mayor, right now, the Iron City is already overcrowded. In the next few days, there will be even more people gathering here. This will be a huge burden." An elder in luxurious clothes reported to the middle-aged man on the main seat.
The middle-aged mayor said, "Normal people stay on the ground, and let all the warriors go up to the roof. That way, there will be more space. Right now, it is not about the number of people, but what if there are not enough people? We should all gather in the Iron City."
The elder said with admiration, "Mayor, you are so wise!"
"I asked you to find out how many Clasping Yuan Realm warriors there are in the Iron City. Have you found anything yet?" The mayor asked.
"I have. Although the Iron City is a small city, there are more than two hundred and forty Clasping Yuan Realm warriors, and it is still increasing. Among them, there are many Clasping Yuan Realm warriors from the big martial institutions."
"Yeah, the beast wave is indeed dangerous, but it can train the warriors' battling experience. The leaders of the big martial institutions should have plans for this. Oh right, are there any Astral Reaching Realm warriors coming?"
"Not yet."
The mayor frowned and mumbled to himself, "This is not easy. Right now, we are not sure if it will be a small beast wave or a mid-sized one. If there are rank 7 beasts, the Iron City would not be able to hold on. I hope it will not happen."
"I don't think it will be possible. Normally, rank 7 beasts would only be found in mid-sized mountains or forests. Within ten thousand miles of our Iron City, there are no mid-sized mountains or forests. The biggest mountain in the wasteland is only a small one, only a few thousand miles in radius. "
"I hope so!"
…
After one day and one night of traveling, everyone was exhausted. A lot of normal people who were already injured had died on the way, and even more had died under the attacks of the beasts.
"The number of people has decreased again. I wonder how many will make it to the Iron City." Looking at the crowd, Ye Chen sighed. Right now, there were less than one thousand people left, which was almost the same as the population of three villages. He then looked at the axman who was not far away and smiled. He thought that he was quite lucky. He did not die in such a harsh battle, and even managed to break through from the Peak of Mortal Realm Stage 8 to Stage 9. After this beast wave, there was hope for him to reach the Condensing Reality Realm.
Tian Hao looked at Ye Chen with admiration, "You have killed five to six thousand beasts by yourself, and I have only killed less than one third of you."
Every time the beasts attacked, Ye Chen would fight his way into the group of beasts by himself and kill the rank 6 beasts that were threatening. And every time, he would be able to escape unscathed, which made Tian Hao and the rest admire him. In their minds, there were people who were as powerful as Ye Chen, or even more powerful than him, but none of them could do it as easily as he did.
"Young man, if you join our Moon Pavilion, we will guarantee you more resources to increase your cultivation." The beautiful lady did not forget to recruit Ye Chen at all.
Ye Chen smiled bitterly, "I'm not interested for now."
"Then think about it. You won't lose anything anyway. If you think the Moon Pavilion is not good, you can leave anytime."
The beautiful lady was very confident in the Moon Pavilion. She believed that after Ye Chen joined, he would not want to leave. The problem was that he had not joined yet.
Another half a day passed.
A city with a circumference of ten miles appeared in their sight.
"We've arrived at the Iron City. We've finally arrived."
"Let's go in quickly. We'll be safe inside."
The people who survived cherished their lives very much. All of them ran as if they had been injected with chicken blood, unlike before when they were on the verge of death.
The beautiful lady flew into the air and shouted, "Open the city gate!"
Before the beautiful lady shouted a second time, the huge city gate opened. Groups of soldiers lined up on both sides. The leader said, "Everyone, come in. Don't waste any time."
After entering the Iron City, everyone let out a sigh of relief. Some of them had reached their limit and fainted.
"So many people." Looking at the overcrowded Iron City, Ye Chen was shocked.
Tian Hao said, "It seems like everyone has gathered here. Next, we will have to fight against the beasts. I hope we can hold on."
"If there are no rank 7 beasts, it should not be a problem."
An unknown Clasping Yuan Realm warrior nearby said.
…
Roar!
The second Ye Chen and the group entered the city, countless beasts were running in the direction of the Yellow Mountain Town. It was dark and horrifying.
Within the beast wave, there were countless rank 5 beasts and hundreds of rank 6 beasts. What was even more horrifying was that behind the beasts, there was a huge shadow moving towards them. Wherever it went, the hills would collapse and the ground would start to rumble, as if there was a small earthquake.
It was a thousand-meters-long python with two long horns on its head. Its whole body was covered in greenish yellow scales that were the size of basins. With a casual sweep of its tail, the ground would crack open, and rocks would fly everywhere. From its mouth, a stinky smell would come out, forming countless dark cloud-like air currents that covered its entire body.
Boom!
The two-horned python flew past the Yellow Mountain Town. The whole town had been completely destroyed and turned into a flat ground within a second. It was impossible to tell that this town used to exist.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The beast's roar was earth-shattering as it jumped towards the Iron City.
"What? There are rank 7 beasts here?"
A Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior saw the two-horned python from afar and was shocked. He hurried to perform his flying art and fly towards the Iron City.
Swoosh!
The two-horned python stared at him without blinking. It opened its mouth and an endless amount of beast qi gathered at its throat. Then, a pitch-black light column shot out.
Ten miles of distance was covered within a blink of an eye. This Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior did not even make a sound before his body was burned into ashes.
As if it was not satisfied yet, this two-horned python shot out a few more pitch-black light columns, which pierced through the mountains nearby. Rocks started to fall from the top, and a loud rumbling sound was heard.
The beast's speed was extremely fast, even faster than the crowd's traveling speed. Within half a day, they had already reached ten miles away from the Iron City.
The two-horned python straightened its upper body, which was almost as tall as a mountain. It opened its mouth again and shot out another pitch-black light column, shooting towards the Iron City's city wall that was ten miles away.
The city wall was shattered like tofu. Countless people had died under this black light column, including three Clasping Yuan Realm warriors.
Some of the warriors recognized the two-horned python and said in shock, "It is a rank 7 beast!"
"Rank 7 beast, Horned Dragon Python!"
"How is this possible? How could there be a Horned Dragon Python within ten thousand miles?"
"How could we block the attack of a rank 7 beast? Let's just run!" A lot of Clasping Yuan Realm warriors had pale faces as they started to think about running away.
On the other side of the city wall, Ye Chen's heart sank. He had never thought that a rank 7 beast would appear out of nowhere, and this early. Even all of the Clasping Yuan Realm warriors in the city combined might not be able to kill a rank 7 beast. After all, martial geniuses like Xuanhou were not easy to find. Plus, this rank 7 beast's power was still unknown. It might be as powerful as a Mid Astral Reaching Realm warrior. Even a martial genius like Xuanhou would not be able to fight against it.
"I wonder if I can beat a rank 7 beast after I reach the Late Clasping Yuan Realm. According to Thunder Freer, it seems to be very hard. Even with the completed sword intent, I would only be able to run away, and would not be able to fight against it." Ye Chen had never seen a rank 7 beast before, nor had he seen an Astral Reaching Realm warrior fight against one another. So, he could not tell how powerful a rank 7 beast or an Astral Reaching Realm warrior would be.
