As Duanmu Lin's voice faded away, Aquababe came from a distance and appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. With a bit of fear on her face, she said, "Chief, we've counted the number of demonic beasts gathered. There are more than 4,150 of them. We can't tell how many powerful demonic beasts are among them. In addition, they are now rushing in our direction. It is estimated that they will reach our blockade in about half an hour. "
"What?!"
Duanmu Lin's expression drastically changed. He never expected that the number of demonic beasts would be so many. More than 4,000 demonic beasts. It was simply an impossible task to kill them all with their current armed forces.
Even if they could kill all of them!
Even if they could kill all the magical beasts, there wouldn't be many cultivators left.
What should they do?
Fight them head-on?
Or use firearms? Wouldn't the effect of using firearms be very obvious?
Hun Sen, who had just made a fool of himself, had a completely different attitude toward Duanmu Lin at this moment. He said in a deep voice, "Chief Duanmu, you're the Commander-in-Chief of this operation, so hurry up and issue the order! How are we going to resist the attack of these demonic beasts? "
Duanmu Lin opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He was also shocked by the news and couldn't think of a good countermeasure for a while.
Suddenly …
Duanmu Lin's eyes shifted to the depths of the mountain range again and saw dozens of bloody cultivators with murderous aura rushing toward his direction lightning-fast. He also knew the one leading them. It was Jin Shi, who was appointed as the captain by Tan Xiu.
"Are you all okay?"
Duanmu Lin went forward and asked with a concerned face.
Jin Shi wiped the bloodstain on his face, but before he could answer, he coughed violently and spurted out a mouthful of blood. After he heaved a sigh of relief, he said with a tired face, "We're fine, Chief Duanmu. Although most of us are seriously injured, no one died in the battle. We've killed a lot of demonic beasts, nearly 100 of them. "
Nearly 100?
Duanmu Lin revealed a horrified expression. It must be known that the number of magical beasts that had attempted to break through the blockade they had set up so far added up to less than two hundred magical beasts. Jin Shi and his men were able to kill so many demonic beasts in such a short time. It was simply … inconceivable.
The others were also visibly moved and looked at Jin Shi and the dozens of Tang Sect disciples in disbelief. After a long while, they gave him a thumbs up in unison. No one praised them because they felt that no words could express their admiration for Jin Shi and the others.
"Jin Shi, Tan Xiu and Mo Awu's teams have returned," said Duanmu Lin. Apart from one member of Mo Awu's team who died in battle, the others were still alive and had gone to the rear to recuperate. Tan Xiu entered the depths of the mountain range while Mo Awu chased after him with two people who were not seriously injured. You don't have to worry. I believe you know Tan Xiu's abilities better than I do. So, all of you should hurry up and heal your injuries. I'm afraid there's going to be an even more brutal battle after this. "
Jin Shi's expression shifted and he asked, "Are the demonic beasts gathering to attack the blockade line?"
"That's right." Duanmu Lin forced a wry smile and said, "The number of demonic beasts has been confirmed. This is the largest number of magical beasts that have charged at us in this period of time, and it's at least ten times more than before. "
"If that's the case, then let's go back and recuperate first," said Jin Shi without hesitation. "Director Duanmu, please notify us immediately once those demonic beasts rush near the blockade line. We can join the battle at any time even if we're injured. "
"Alright."
Duanmu Lin clenched his fists and lightly punched Jin Shi's chest twice and nodded heavily. * * *
Deep in the Himalayas.
Tan Xiu was like a specter as he stepped on the pure white snow without leaving any footprints. He quickly rushed toward the place where the demonic beasts were gathering. Duanmu Lin had asked Aquababe to send him the precise coordinates of the demonic beasts gathering. Hence, his speed was extremely fast.
"There's a situation."
Suddenly, Tan Xiu's expression changed and he quickly took out the Invisibility Talisman from his interspatial ring, along with dozens of Raging Flame and Lightning Talismans. After his figure disappeared, he dashed toward the hillside not far away. In just a few seconds, he was already standing on the hillside.
Heavy snow rolled down from the mountain peaks in the distance like an avalanche, which was extremely frightening. However, the overwhelming number of demonic beasts in the heavy snow was either running on the ground or flying in the air. There were thousands of them and they were rushing toward the blockade line.
"There are too many of them. The cultivators who arranged the blockade line won't be able to resist them at all. Once these demonic beasts break through the blockade line, they will pose a huge threat to the garrison outside. It will even bring a devastating disaster to the civilians in the towns and villages near Ugley. "
"We must find a way to stop them. We must buy more time for Duanmu Lin. "
"There are a lot of cultivators in China. Whether it's ability users, ancient martial arts cultivators, Daoist cultivators, or some other cultivators, I'm afraid less than one-tenth of them have arrived."
"Only by buying more time can Duanmu Lin have time to invite more experts to come and resist these demonic beasts together."
Countless thoughts churned in Tan Xiu's mind. As killing intent surfaced in his eyes, his gaze quickly wandered back and forth among the crowd of demonic beasts. In his opinion, there must be a highly intelligent demonic beast controlling the tide of demonic beasts at this level. As the saying goes: To catch bandits, first catch the ringleader. If he could find that demonic beast and kill it at lightning speed, it would probably have a huge impact on the horde of demonic beasts. He might even be able to lead the horde of demonic beasts to collapse and cause them to give up on this attack.
The horde of demonic beasts was getting closer and closer. Soon, they were only two to three kilometers away from Tan Xiu.
At this moment.
The invisible Tan Xiu moved. His figure turned into a bolt of lightning and instantly sprinted to a height of 100 meters. After he took out all the talismans, he threw all the lightning talismans when the bird-type demonic beasts were not far from him.
Bolts of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck a large number of bird-type demonic beasts. Along with ear-piercing screams and roars, dozens of the hundreds of bird-type demonic beasts fell from the sky. Although the lightning formed by the lightning talismans could not kill them directly, it was still very damaging. Furthermore, under the effect of the lightning talismans, they temporarily lost the ability to move.
A few seconds later.
The thousands of demonic beasts on the ground raised their heads and looked at the bird-type demonic beasts in the sky with horrified expressions. But at this moment, the invisible Tan Xiu had already appeared among these demonic beasts. As he activated countless Blaze Talismans, countless flames formed a sea of fire. In an instant, several demonic beasts were burned to death and hundreds of them were burned.
Chaos.
Roars.
The originally orderly horde of demonic beasts had now become extremely chaotic.
"Roar …"
A deafening roar came from the horde of demonic beasts. A few of the weaker demonic beasts that were closer to the source of the roar were immediately shocked to death by the roar. The other demonic beasts also quickly quieted down. Looks of fear appeared on their faces. The chaotic horde of demonic beasts began to become orderly.
In the horde of demonic beasts.
Tan Xiu's gaze quickly locked onto a demonic beast that was only the size of a kitten and standing on the head of a unicorn-like demonic beast. Its body was too small. If not for Tan Xiu's sharp eyes, he would not have been able to find it easily.
"I didn't expect such a small demonic beast to have the ability to command a horde of demonic beasts. I'm afraid its small body is just a facade! I'm afraid it's very powerful. "
This thought flashed across Tan Xiu's mind. His figure instantly pounced towards the demonic beast. At the same time, the Divine Sword in his body also broke out of his body and instantly transformed into a huge sword that was tens of meters long in mid-air. With a sword aura that was close to a hundred meters long, it fiercely slashed towards the small demonic beast.
An all-out attack.
In Tan Xiu's extraordinary eight meridians, surging Chaotic Energy erupted wildly. Coupled with the power of the Divine Weapon, he forcefully tore a hole in the horde of demonic beasts. Dozens of demonic beasts were killed by Tan Xiu's sword. There were even more demonic beasts that were forced to retreat by the force of the sword. They frantically fled to the sides.
The small demonic beast that was standing on the head of the unicorn suddenly expanded. In the blink of an eye, it had already expanded to the size of an adult elephant. It was so large that the unicorn was almost trampled to the ground.
"Roar …"
Layers of black flames collided with the long sword that was slashing towards it. Together with the flames, a huge hammer smashed towards Tan Xiu's Divine Sword.
"Boom …"
The demonic beast commander was slashed by the Divine Sword. A bloody wound appeared on its body. The wound was so deep that the bone could be seen. It wailed in pain. If it wasn't for the Demonic Flame it spat out and the hammer of extraordinary quality, Tang Xiu's sword would have been able to successfully kill it.
As for Tan Xiu.
He felt his body tremble slightly. He immediately withdrew the Divine Sword and retreated backward. Unfortunately, although he had the Invisibility Talisman, the aura on his body was too strong. The demonic beasts that passed by all launched fierce attacks at him.
"Roar …"
The demonic beast commander roared angrily and gave the order to attack. It had not suffered such a serious injury in a long time. Therefore, it was completely enraged. It needed revenge. It needed to kill the human who had hurt it.
The attack did not succeed.
Tan Xiu did not want to continue fighting. Otherwise, once he was trapped in the horde of demonic beasts, even if his strength made a breakthrough, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed.
The Divine Sword continued to fly. Rays of Sword Qi shot out from the Divine Sword, forcing the demonic beasts to retreat. After inflicting serious injuries on them, he quickly broke away from the horde of demonic beasts and pounced towards the left.
He wanted to escape.
It would be best if he could lure the demonic beasts away and lead them somewhere else.
