Lin Muyu and Zhang Wei could only advance along the ground with great difficulty. Along the way, there were corpses of Crypt Fiends and Crypt Fiends everywhere. These Crypt Fiends were unlucky. In the past, they only encountered some ordinary experts, and two or three Crypt Fiends could kill one. But today, they encountered Lin Muyu, the god of death. The sharp jaws of the Crypt Fiends couldn't stop the divine weapon in his hand at all. They were cut off with a single slash, unable to resist at all.
But there were too many Crypt Fiends, and Zhang Wei soon began to be unable to stop them.
Whoosh!
The blade spun through the air and helped Zhang Wei clear the Crypt Fiends that were surrounding him. The Xuanyuan Sword spun back as if it had a mind of its own and returned to Lin Muyu's hand. Zhang Wei exclaimed in admiration, "Lord Martial God's swordsmanship is truly unprecedented!"
Lin Muyu frowned, "Hurry up and keep up, don't get eaten."
"Yes!"
…
The two ran all the way, and soon, a small city appeared in front of them. It was really small, even like a small village. However, the walls were quite high, at least ten meters, enough to stop the Crypt Fiends from jumping.
Hiss … Hiss …
When Lin Muyu and Zhang Wei arrived at the city, the Crypt Fiends behind them quickly gathered into a group and let out sharp roars. The dense crowd was very frightening.
"Open the door!"
Zhang Wei said loudly, "Did the people on the city hear you? Open the door and let us in!"
Unexpectedly, a head popped out from the stone wall and shone a lantern outside. "Who are you? Do you not want to live anymore in the middle of the night and actually ran outside?"
Zhang Wei said, "We are from the Hunter's Alliance. Please let us in. We will repay you generously for saving our lives!"
The man coughed and said, "Aliut is only a small city, it can't stop the Fiends' attack. You should leave, there is a big city about a hundred miles east."
With that said, the watchtower above closed with a bang. Obviously, the people in the city didn't want to let them in at all. But … Lin Muyu heard noises coming from inside the city. It seemed that someone was arguing, and the topic of the argument was whether to let the two people outside the city in.
"Lord Martial God, what should we do?" Zhang Wei's face was pale as he turned to face the countless Fiends.
The sword in Lin Muyu's hand glowed faintly as she said, "You hide behind me. Since they won't let us in, we'll use the city walls as cover and fight the demons with our backs to the city walls. This is much safer than being surrounded."
"This … Yes, my lord!"
The Crypt Demons rushed over in groups, while Lin Muyu swung her sword to fight. Sword Qi raged out, covering the ground with sword marks. At the same time, Lin Muyu circulated her divine power and activated the Astral Arts with her Sacred Martial Power. Starlight erupted outside the city, and even the ground began to tremble.
Inside the city, on the watchtower, a group of people were frowning. The person who had been talking at the watchtower just now had an ashen face. He was a man around 40 years old, wearing half a suit of armor, and his expression was solemn.
Right in front of him were a few young people. One of them was a girl with a ponytail. She said unhappily, "Uncle Wang, are we just going to watch two people outside the city die in the mouths of demons?"
"What else can we do? They only have themselves to blame for traveling at night."
"But their strength is unfathomable. They were able to survive the siege of the Crypt Demons. Wouldn't it be a pity if such talents died because of exhaustion?"
We are just a group of exiles. We do not have the right to enter a spectacle like the City of Dawn. We can only stay behind in a small city like Aleut. What we can do is very limited. The number one rule of survival in the Eternal Sword Domain is not to do things that are beyond our capabilities. Moreover … the two people outside are from the Hunter's League. The Hunter's League is cruel and ruthless, so it's best that we don't provoke them. It would be best if they died at the hands of the demons. "Uncle Wang smiled faintly, his gaze gentle.
"But …" The girl was still a little nervous.
The two young men behind her immediately advised, "Forget it, Leah. Don't go against Uncle Wang's wishes. He's doing this for our own good. What we should do is guard the city and prevent the Fiends from attacking."
"Alright …"
The city fell silent, but the rumbling sounds of battle outside the city lasted for a long time until the next day. Although there was no sunlight, the Crypt Demons still retreated while wagging their tails. These demons were afraid of light and were not willing to fight a god during the day, let alone a god that seemed impossible to defeat.
On the watchtower, Uncle Wang, Leah, and the others were stunned. When they opened the city gate, they saw the densely packed corpses of the Crypt Demons outside. When the city gate slowly opened, the residents in the city cheered.
"How is this possible …" Leah was dumbfounded.
Uncle Wang frowned.
At that moment, two figures flew into the air. Lin Muyu and Chang Wei appeared on the watchtower. Chang Wei raised his sword and slashed at Uncle Wang, shouting, "You b * stard! You're leaving us in the lurch!"
Chang Wei's sword was so fast that Uncle Wang could not dodge it in time. On the other hand, Leah was extremely fast. The rusty iron sword in her hand blocked Chang Wei's attack with a clang, but she was also sent flying back. She slid several meters along the wooden plank and landed on the ground. Her entire body charged at Chang Wei like a beam of light.
"What a fast speed!" Lin Muyu exclaimed in admiration.
Chang Wei's training was not focused on speed, but strength. After being attacked twice in a row, he was starting to feel tired. The girl's long sword was full of dents and it looked like it was about to break. Once the long sword broke, she would not be able to escape death. Lin Muyu had seen Chang Wei's killing methods before.
"Enough," Lin Muyu said.
Chang Wei hurriedly put away his longsword and quickly retreated.
However, the young girl did not let him off. Her figure moved up and down rapidly as she slashed at the guard's head with her sword.
"I said that's enough!"
Lin Muyu suddenly moved her arm horizontally. The Xuanyuan Sword was unsheathed by an inch, and just this inch happened to block the girl's iron sword. Suddenly, there was a clang. The iron sword broke, but the Xuanyuan Sword was naturally unscathed.
"Ah …"
Leah took a few steps back, her beautiful and slightly wild face full of horror. She looked at Lin Muyu and said, "You … How did you do it?"
Lin Muyu said, "We're just here to ask for an explanation. Why did you leave us in the lurch last night?"
Uncle Wang was silent.
The group of able-bodied men behind him were just as silent. The two people in front of them were able to fight the demons for an entire night without dying. This meant that their strength had already reached a very terrifying level. Perhaps it wouldn't take much effort for them to slaughter the entire city of Aleut.
Finally, Uncle Wang said, "The Eternal Sword Domain is full of variables and dangers. We don't dare to easily take in outsiders, and we don't dare to open the city gates without permission. Otherwise, once the demons enter the city, wouldn't the two of you be the cause of disaster for all the residents of the city?"
Chang Wei grinned and scolded, "Old thing, it's easy for you to say. If it weren't for the fact that the two of us fought the demons, I'm afraid the two of us would have already been torn apart by the cave demons!"
That girl was holding a broken sword, but there was a hint of hostility on her face. She said, "Are you here for revenge? Then come at me. "
Lin Muyu smiled faintly. "No, I'm not here for revenge. I'm just borrowing your place to sleep for a day. I exhausted myself last night, so I don't have the strength to continue on the road."
Uncle Wang was relieved. "If it's just for a night, then there's no problem."
Lin Muyu nodded. "Thank you!"
…
Outside the city, countless residents of Aleut had already gone out, holding kitchen knives, hatchets, and other things in their hands. They ran towards the corpses of the cave demons, all of them dancing in joy.
"What are they doing?!" Lin Muyu held a bowl of soup in one hand as she looked outside the city. There were only a few wild vegetables in the bowl, but it was still hot soup. After a tiring night, drinking a bowl of hot soup could be considered a form of enjoyment.
Uncle Wang said, "Aren't you from the Eternal Sword Domain?"
"I just arrived," Lin Muyu said.
Uncle Wang was relieved. "So that's how it is. Look, although these Crypt Demons are covered in hard armor and their bodies are filled with corrosive poison, the muscles on their backs are very developed. Those muscles are very good ingredients. One Crypt Demon has about 50 kilograms of meat. We have to cut off this meat as soon as possible. Otherwise, the surrounding cities will definitely come to snatch the Crypt Demon corpses."
"That meat looks so disgusting. Can you eat it?" Lin Muyu was stunned.
"What's there to eat? When people are hungry, they don't care that much."
Lin Muyu looked at him again and said, "What's your name? What are you doing here?"
"Me?"
Uncle Wang smiled slightly. "My name is Wang Fen. I'm a martial arts master who was exiled. Later, I wandered to Aleut and stayed here. The wanderers of Aleut asked me to stay and teach their children martial arts. These youngsters with extraordinary cultivation were organized into teams to defend the city, so the number of people in Aleut increased day by day."
Lin Muyu smiled faintly. Her gaze swept over Rheia behind her. "This girl's cultivation isn't bad."
Wang Fen chuckled. "Rheia is a rare martial arts genius. Moreover, she is naturally agile. She has already obtained divine power in just ten years of martial arts cultivation. Nowadays, there is no one in this small city who can compare to Rheia in terms of strength. Even as her teacher, I can only concede defeat."
Rheia blinked her eyes and said, "Big Brother, although Uncle Wang said that, I know I can't beat you."
Lin Muyu said, "Your potential can continue to be developed. Whether you can beat me in the future is still a variable."
The guard at the side was slightly taken aback. "Your Excellency, don't tell me you've taken a fancy to her?"
Rheia was also taken aback.
Lin Muyu played it down. "What I'm interested in is Rheia's ability. After a little improvement, her speed should be above mine. If she just stays in Aleut, it would be a pity for this plane."
Wang Fen was shocked. "Your Excellency, are you thinking of taking Rheia away?"
"Yes, there is a wider world outside. However, I respect her choice. If she is willing to leave Aleut with me to train in the outside world, I will take her with me. If she is not willing, then forget it."
Wang Fen looked at Rheia, his eyes full of reluctance.
Rheia also looked at everyone and murmured, "I … What should I choose?"
"Follow your heart, Rheia. Are you willing to follow him out to train? Once you go, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to return, "Wang Fen said.
Rheia pursed her red lips and said, "I don't want to leave everyone, I don't want to leave Aleut, but I … I really want to pursue greater strength, I want to make myself stronger, I …"
"Then go, we can't be an obstacle to you becoming stronger."
Wang Fen waved his hand lightly, his face full of confusion. The child he had nurtured for so many years was going to be taken away just like that, but what could he do? Anyone could see that Lin Muyu's cultivation exceeded Wang Fen's by more than a star and a half. Once she followed Lin Muyu, Rheia would become stronger, but if she followed Wang Fen, she might waste her life's aptitude and combat talent.
