No one in the Hall of Healing dared to breathe loudly.
Lu Zhou's voice was unusually calm, but it was laced with chilling killing intent.
"Master, are we still going to Northsword Pass?"
"Go and contact the White Tower. Meng Changdong, stay here and take a look at the situation."
Meng Changdong and Si Wuya bowed and answered in unison.
He turned around and left.
Meng Changdong set up the formation cloth and talisman paper, activated the formation, and observed the situation of the four paths.
Unfortunately, the limitations of the formation were too great, and it was difficult to see everything. Moreover, there were only a few people who could master the formation.
However, it could be seen that Jiangdong Road was under the most pressure.
The others waited quietly for Lu Zhou's decision.
In truth, Lu Zhou was calculating his trump card. As usual, he looked at his remaining merit points.
Merit Points: 534610
Lu Zhou sighed inwardly. He did not have any Supreme Profundity Cards or Peak Cards with him. Without these two trump cards, he could only rely on Fatal Blow and Demote, which were extremely costly.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Zhou said, "We'll start from the strongest place, the River East Circuit."
"Yes, we are willing to follow the Pavilion Master. We will not hesitate to go through water and tread on fire."
Lu Zhou looked at Zhao Hongfu and called, "Zhao Hongfu."
"Your subordinate is here."
"Are there runic passageways in these four paths?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Apart from Northsword Pass, there are all of them. Northsword Pass was simply too remote. Before this, I had already completed the ten Dao Rune Passages of Great Tang. He had originally planned to spend another year to complete the passage to the Golden Lotus. I didn't expect this to happen, "said Zhao Hongfu.
"It's fine. Bring Bai Ze and follow me."
"Yes."
…
At the same time, the battles in Jiangdong, Shanbei, Jiannan, and Jiangbei had already broken out.
At first, the ones attacking the human cities were low-tier beasts, and the defenses of the four main paths were relatively stable. However, as the number of beasts increased, the number of corpses outside the city walls gradually increased. Those beasts stepped on the corpses of their own kind in an attempt to attack the city.
Northsword Pass.
Under the two mountain peaks.
The reason why Northsword Pass was called Northsword Pass was because it was sandwiched between two mountains, and the gap between them was like a sword that had descended from the heavens and pierced the earth.
Between the two mountain peaks.
A burly man wielding a long spear blocked Northsword Pass' path.
It was as if he alone could hold the pass against ten thousand enemies.
In front of them was Lili's army, which was moving in a formidable manner.
They were like a swarm of ants, densely packed and innumerable …
"I didn't expect so much."
Initially, Duanmu Sheng thought there would only be a few hundred of them. It would be fine if he just killed a few of them.
In fact, he had seriously underestimated Lili.
Duanmu Sheng tightened his grip on the Overlord Spear. He opened and closed his fingers.
He took a deep breath and said, "Come on."
Da da da, da da da …
Lili, whose entire body was releasing a purple mist, rushed over.
Clang!
Duanmu Chang's spear trembled and danced.
"Prairie Hundred Strikes."
"Thousand Layered Waves."
In an instant, dozens of Lilis were killed by the energy spear.
Lili came wave after wave, just like the sea, wave after wave.
Duanmu Sheng responded calmly. He shouted, "I'll kill as many as they come!"
Within the time it took to finish a pot of tea, Lili's dead bodies piled up around him …
Duanmu Sheng tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and hovered in midair. He looked into the distance and saw Lili was still charging forward.
Duanmu Sheng fell!
His energy rippled. Hundreds of Lilis were swept up by the energy.
"Come! Come at me if you dare! "
When he saw how many there were, Duanmu Sheng knew that this would be a long, drawn-out battle.
…
On Jiangdong Road.
On the towering city wall.
"Mister Eighth, the oceanic beasts are here …" A cultivator returned from the distance. He had killed many flying beasts along the way.
The city guard ordered, "Heed my command. Defend the city wall to your death."
"Understood."
The city guard turned around and said, "Mister Eighth, it's dangerous here. You should return to the City Governor's mansion and take shelter."
"Take shelter?"
Zhu Honggong was slightly puzzled.
Dozens of cultivators flew over from behind and landed on the city wall. They bowed and said, "Mister Eighth, please leave."
"Do I need to leave?"
"…"
Zhu Honggong ignored them. He did not put on his armor. Instead, he put on his fists and bumped them together. Bam!
As expected.
A large number of oceanic beasts appeared in the eastern waters.
The ground began to tremble.
Boom! Boom!
"A Birth Chart Beast!"
"A 1,600-year-old Birth Chart Beast. Everyone, follow me! Kill it! "
Dozens of cultivators leaped down the city wall and killed their way through the middle and low-grade beasts. Then, they charged at the oceanic beasts.
When the sea cow saw the dozen cultivators charging at it, it suddenly shot dozens of water arrows. Bam!
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
The water arrows filled the air.
They were extremely powerful. The dozen cultivators were struck and retreated pathetically.
Zhu Honggong glanced at them. He shook his head and said, "Brothers, you'll have to rely on me. Your abilities are not enough!"
Clang!
He bumped his fists together and charged at the sea cow.
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Zhu Honggong's energy fist burst forth.
The sea cow repeated the same trick. It shot out water arrows.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Honggong did not dodge at all. He charged at it head-on.
Bam!
"He blocked that? How did he do it? "
They had seen Zhu Honggong's avatar before.
The Hundred Tribulations Insight did not have this ability!
Zhu Honggong swung his energy fists. The Nine Tribulations Thunderblast was a series of energy fists. Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
The sea cow rolled on the ground and sent dozens of oceanic beasts flying.
The cultivators. "???"
'We're all Hundred Tribulations Insight avatars. Is ours fake?'
Zhu Honggong said smugly, "I'm going to start a massacre!"
He stomped his feet and shot toward the oceanic beasts like a fired arrow.
"An avatar!"
The 450-foot avatar swept through the oceanic beasts. The golden hoop on its back finally appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Eleven-leaf! It's an Eleven-leaf! "
The cultivators were in an uproar.
How could this be a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar?
When they saw the golden hoop and the Eleven-leaf avatar, they realized this was an avatar that resembled a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar.
Bam! Bam!
The mid-grade and low-grade beasts could not withstand a single blow. They scattered like waves as they were sent flying by the Eleven-leaf avatar.
When Zhu Honggong was in front of the sea cow, he suddenly turned around and made a grabbing motion. The golden hoop appeared in his hand, and the Eleven-leaf blade swept toward the sea cow's body.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
After 11 consecutive attacks, the sea cow was immediately cut in half.
With a flash, Zhu Honggong appeared behind the sea cow and pushed his palm forward.
Puff!
A Birth Chart Heart flew toward the city walls.
"Catch," Zhu Honggong said loudly.
The fighting spirit of the cultivators and soldiers on the city walls was ignited.
This was a Birth Chart Heart, and yet, it was so easily dealt with by Zhu Honggong?
The city guard caught the Birth Chart Heart. He looked at Zhu Honggong who was sweeping through the oceanic beasts with a dumbfounded expression on his face.
"Mister Eighth, there's another one over there!"
More than ten cultivators gathered together and flew toward another Birth Chart Beast.
"Let's clear a path!"
The dozen cultivators cleared a path for Zhu Honggong and cleared the inferior beasts.
With the help of the cultivators, Zhu Honggong easily made his way to the second Birth Chart Beast.
"Heavenly phenomena!"
Energy fists spun, and 10,000 energy fists appeared in the surroundings.
"Daoist energy fists?" The city guard was overwhelmed with emotions. "Everyone says that the Evil Sky Pavilion's disciples are powerful. I believe them!"
"I believe them as well!"
Everyone kept swallowing their saliva as they watched this scene.
The fist energy that filled the sky flew toward the second manatee at an extreme speed.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Roar!
The sea cow howled in pain.
The earth began to tremble as well.
Just when everyone thought victory was at hand, a 1,000-foot-long Tiger Mermaid lunged at them from afar.
The Tiger Mermaid had a row of bone spikes on its back. Its face was ferocious like a tiger's head, and its eyes shone like the sun and moon. It snapped its jaws at Zhu Honggong.
"F * ck! It's so ugly! "
Zhu Honggong hastily swung his energy fists. Bam!
Bam! Bam!
The Tiger Mermaid withstood Zhu Honggong's energy fists. Its fangs reached Zhu Honggong.
"Mister Eighth!"
The others exclaimed in shock.
Zhu Honggong was rammed into. He rolled away like a football.
His Qi and blood surged, and he nearly spat out blood.
He felt terrible.
The Tiger Mermaid swept its tail!
Boom!
It was too long. The cultivators did not even have time to fly up before they were sent flying by the tail. Bam!
Bam! Bam! Without exception, all of them were sent flying like kites with their strings cut. Their Qi and blood surged, and their bodies ached.
"Beast king! Marine beast king! Retreat! "
At the city guard's order, the dozen cultivators retreated in unison.
As they retreated, the thousands of oceanic beasts behind the Tiger Mermaid advanced in unison.
The Tiger Mermaid's appearance turned the tide of the battle.
The archers on the city walls fired their arrows. However, the arrows seemed to have tickled the Tiger Mermaid. They did not harm it at all.
"The Tiger Mermaid is a merman in the water. It has the intelligence of a seven or eight-year-old human. This won't be easy." The city guard's expression was slightly sour.
Boom!
Boom!
It was not just the Tiger Mermaid. There were manatees, flying sharks, and other Birth Chart Beasts as well.
The corpses could not stop the Tiger Mermaids from advancing. Many of the corpses were even devoured by the flying sharks.
The human cultivators continued to retreat.
Zhu Honggong endured the pain and rose to his feet. He looked at the Tiger Mermaid with a grim expression.
"Damn it, I didn't expect that leg to be so powerful. I don't believe it. You guys deal with the weak ones. I'll deal with the Tiger Mermaid. "
"Understood!"
The cultivators were clearly not as confident as before.
They felt guilty.
Most of the cultivators were only at the Nine-leaf or Ten-leaf stage.
How could they possibly be a match for a beast king? They might be able to deal with ordinary Birth Chart Beasts, but before the 1,000-foot Tiger Mermaid, they were weaker than ants.
Clang!
Zhu Honggong's fists collided. His body moved at lightning speed.
"Celestial phenomena."
The Nine Tribulations Thunderblast swirled around him. His energy fists danced in the air and instantly converged.
"Avatar."
Zhu Honggong's lotusless Eleven-leaf avatar flew forward.
The Tiger Mermaid stopped in its tracks. Its eyes darted about slightly.
It opened its mouth.
Crash — —
A pillar of water shot toward Zhu Honggong.
Bam!
Zhu Honggong's avatar was struck by the immense force. It could no longer endure the attack. Puff!
It spat out a mouthful of blood.
The avatar vanished.
"F * ck!"
Zhu Honggong punched out in the air and barely managed to stabilize himself. He looked at the beast king incredulously.
The city guard said, "Mister Eighth, you've done your best. Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
The cultivators stood on the city wall. They looked at Zhu Honggong with pity.
"There's still a chance of survival if we retreat. Retreat!"
The others tried to dissuade him.
There was no need to make unnecessary sacrifices.
However, Zhu Honggong turned around and said, "You can retreat, but where can the people in the city go? The wilderness is already occupied by beasts. If we retreat, they'll all die. "
"Uh …" The cultivators flushed with embarrassment.
"Don't forget your duty. Although I'm not a good person, I'm not a coward who flees in the face of danger. "
The others lowered their heads.
"We don't want to retreat as well, but there are many beasts at the other three gates as well. At this rate, we'll all die."
Clang! Clang!
Some beasts were already ramming against the city gates. In the distance, cultivators flew into the air. Their bodies were covered in blood.
The soldiers on the city wall fell.
The flying beasts climbed up the city walls and fought the humans.
The blood of humans and beasts mixed together and spread throughout River East City.
The huge flying beasts in the air tried to fly to the other city gates and attack the humans on the city walls.
The battle was taking a turn for the worse.
The humans' defense was getting more and more difficult.
Wu!
The Tiger Mermaid let out a low whimper.
The oceanic beasts behind it hastened their pace.
"Uh … I was just bragging. Can I take back what I said?" Zhu Honggong retreated.
Who the f * ck could withstand this?
The Tiger Mermaid looked up and opened its mouth. It mercilessly spat out a pillar of water at Zhu Honggong.
"Dodge!" The city guard turned pale with fright.
The cultivators immediately scattered in all directions.
The power of the water pillar was enough to destroy the thick city walls. Although Zhu Honggong was an Eleven-leaf cultivator, he would surely be severely injured by such a huge pillar of water.
"Sh * t … I'll dodge!" Zhu Honggong's heroic spirit only lasted for a few minutes before it vanished. He immediately flew toward the city walls.
The Tiger Mermaid swept its body.
The water pillar shot toward him.
Creak!
Everything the water pillar touched was instantly frozen.
"This ability!" The cultivators were shocked.
"Look out, Mister Eighth!"
When the water pillar was about to hit Zhu Honggong, a blue palm seal appeared in the blink of an eye.
Bam!
The blue palm seal was like a canopy that blocked the water pillar from reaching the city walls.
The owner of the blue palm seal stood behind the blue canopy with his palm facing forward. His expression was calm and collected.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the old man.
Everyone's attention was focused on the old man.
He had the bearing of an immortal. His hair was white, and his temples were dyed with frost.
He was dressed in long robes. One of his hands was placed on his back while the other was pointed forward.
Zhu Honggong was overjoyed. He kneeled in the air and bowed. "Master!"
Lu Zhou did not look at him. Instead, he asked, "How are your injuries?"
Zhu Honggong felt slightly moved. He hugged Lu Zhou's thigh and said, "These are just superficial wounds. I'm fine. I'm touched that you're here, master!"
"…"
Lu Zhou's words were clearly sincere. However, why did they sound fake?
Unfortunately, his Taixuan Power had been exhausted. He could no longer use his healing power. He had used up most of his Taixuan Power to observe Duanmu Sheng and teleport three words at the same time.
If he wanted to deal with the Tiger Mermaid now, he could only rely on his own strength.
The others regained their senses and kneeled in unison.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master Lu!"
"Ding! Worshipped by 150 individuals. Reward: 150 merit points."
The water pillar vanished at this moment.
He turned to look at the soldiers and cultivators guarding the city and said indifferently, "You're excused."
Zhao Hong stood on the tower. She pointed at the Tiger Mermaid and said, "I see.
It's a Tiger Mermaid. "
The city guard said, "Indeed, it's a Tiger Mermaid. I've ordered all the cultivators at the southern, western, and northern gates to come here. "
Lu Zhou glanced at the city guard.
"Tell them to stay where they are."
"Understood."
Wu!
The Tiger Mermaid leaped forward.
With this leap, it covered half of the sky.
The ground shook slightly. The Tiger Mermaid leaped into the nine heavens. The clouds closed up.
The Tiger Mermaid bowed and turned around in the sky.
The oceanic beasts on the ground obeyed the order and charged forward.
Clang! Clang! Bam! Bam!
Apart from the Jiangdong Path, there were also the Jiannan, Jianbei, Jiangbei, and Shanbei Paths.
How was Lu Zhou, who had six Birth Charts, going to resolve this crisis quickly?
The others looked at the old man expectantly.
Was he going to turn the situation around?
In the sky.
The Tiger Mermaid swung its tail.
Noises were heard. No one knew what it was doing.
"Livestock!"
Lu Zhou shouted angrily as he flew into the sky. He crushed an ordinary Deadly Strike Card with a single hand.
A palm print broke through the clouds and mist, flying up into the sky and into the clouds.
The Tiger Mermaid was barely visible as it hid itself in the clouds.
The palm seal was extremely weak.
It was so weak that it was almost negligible.
Everyone looked at Pavilion Master Lu in confusion.
The city guard could not help but remind him, "Pavilion Master Lu, that's a beast king!"
What he meant was …
'Please take this seriously! Don't be so crude! Isn't this palm strike just tickling it? '
As soon as he finished speaking …
A loud rumble rang from the clouds.
"Boom!"
The thunderous rumble was accompanied by a heart-wrenching shriek.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The others looked up.
They saw the Tiger Mermaid twisting its 1,000-foot body above the clouds.
It was violent and brutal.
The wretched shriek pierced everyone's eardrums.
The oceanic beasts stopped in their tracks at the same time and looked up at their king.
The oceanic beasts were more baffled than the humans.
…
The Tiger Mermaid continued to roll in the sky. The clouds raged and the water droplets danced wildly. It was like a live fish that was thrown into a red-hot wok as it writhed madly.
The city guard, Zhu Honggong, Zhao Hongfu, and the many soldiers and cultivators looked at the Tiger Mermaid in confusion.
Then …
The Tiger Mermaid's body froze. It was as though time had stopped. It was as though a clay sculpture had been completed. It fell from the clouds.
Its 1,000-foot body crashed into the herd of beasts.
Boom!
Countless weak land beasts and oceanic beasts were smashed into meat paste.
Their brains were split open, and their stomachs were ripped open.
"…"
The others held their breaths. Their eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets.
'That tickling strike killed the Tiger Mermaid so easily?'
"Ding! Killed the Tiger Mermaid. Reward: 8,000 merit points."
Everyone was still in a daze.
Zhao Hongfu said, "Be careful, everyone.
After losing the beast king, the remaining beasts won't retreat. On the contrary, they'll become disorganized and fearless. They'll become even more frenzied. The oceanic beasts of the Endless Ocean are more cold-blooded than we thought. "
As expected …
The remaining oceanic beasts charged toward the human city in a frenzy.
They stepped over the Tiger Mermaid's carcass.
Lu Zhou did not retreat. Instead, he charged forward.
The others held their breaths again.
At this moment, Lu Zhou suddenly summoned his avatar.
The avatar shot into the clouds.
The Scarlet Flame Golden Lotus under his feet attracted everyone's attention.
"What's that?"
"I don't understand!"
Lu Zhou charged into the herd of beasts fearlessly.
"Flaming Golden Lotus."
The Golden Lotus began to spin.
One after another, flames wrapped around the Golden Lotus as they spun out.
With the Golden Lotus as the center, they spun in all directions like a vortex as they harvested the beasts in a frenzy.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
The beasts that were struck by the Flaming Golden Lotus had their stomachs split open. The weaker ones were immediately cut in half.
The Flaming Golden Lotus flew 1,000 meters in the air.
Lu Zhou unleashed all of his Birth Chart power. The Birth Chart power could be used twice. However, he chose to use it all at once to maximize the damage.
He was pleased with the effect.
The corpses strewn all over the ground were the best proof of this.
More than half of the oceanic beasts in the core region were killed by his Life Gate ultimate move.
When the last Flaming Golden Lotus slashed a flying beast in the air, the avatar vanished. The flying beast's carcass fell on the mountain of corpses.
Lu Zhou turned around indifferently and flew back to the city wall.
The others were still in a daze.
They looked at the mountain of corpses with a dazed expression on their faces.
After a long while, the city guard regained his senses. He took a deep breath and said, "Is this … the power of those with 12 Birth Charts and above?"
"I … I think so."
"This … He can do it alone … Why does he need us?"
As the saying goes, the connoisseur recognizes the artistry, while the layman enjoys the show.
Lu Zhou did not think so.
Now that he had used up all his big moves, he could not use the Fatal Card indiscriminately. Naturally, he would not attack again.
"Don't let your guard down. This is just the beginning. I'll leave the rest to you. "
With the help of a big shot …
Everyone's confidence was rekindled.
They replied in unison, "Yes."
Zhu Honggong flew to the Tiger Mermaid's corpse and said, "Master, I'll retrieve the Birth Chart Heart."
Lu Zhou nodded and said,
"Be careful of the Black Lotus people."
Ferocious beasts of this level were easy to deal with. The Beast King card was one, and the remaining Life Gate card was his ultimate move.
"Yes."
Lu Zhou said to Zhao Hongfu, "Let's go."
Zhao Hongfu nodded.
She suddenly understood Pavilion Master Lu's intentions and quickly followed him.
"I will do my best to open up the rune channel for Pavilion Master. Where should we go next? I can't wait to see Pavilion Master display his invincible might. "
"Rest."
"Ah?"
'Aren't we going to attack the next stop while we're victorious?'
Zhao Hongfu scratched her head in confusion.
Lu Zhou called out, "Whitzard."
Whitzard came with them. When it heard its master's order, it flew over on a cloud.
Just when they were about to leave and look for a place to rest …
Zhao Hongfu suddenly said, "Pavilion Master, look over there."
"Pavilion Master, look over there."
In the distant skies above River East City, countless black-robed cultivators were flying toward them like locusts.
The black-robed army was like a black line in the distant skies. The left, middle, and right sides of the black line buzzed from time to time.
The black astrolabe appeared and disappeared again.
The Black Lotus army finally appeared. They were even showing off their strength.
At the same time, more than half of the aquatic beasts on the ground were still in the wild.
Everyone's hearts sank.
'Are they really going to kill the Red Lotus army?'
"The Black Lotus army led by Qian Jie!" Zhao Hongfu said.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and turned to look.
He could not help but shake his head slightly.
They did not even see Mu 'ertie's shadow, let alone the Beast Emperor. Their trump cards were already gone. How were they supposed to deal with this army?
They did not have the Profound Power, Profound Card, or Peak Card.
Even the power of their Birth Charts had been used up.
